文摘:

An ant is a wise creature for itself， but it is a shrewd thing in an orchard2 or gardenAnd certainly men that are great lovers of themselves waste the public Divide with reasonbetween self-love and society； and be so true to thyself， as thou be not false to others； spe-cially to thy king and country It is a poor centre of a man's actions， himself It is rightearth For that only stands fast upon his own centre； whereas all things that have affinitywith the heavens， move upon the centre of another， which they benefit The referring of allto a man's self is more tolerable3 in a sovereign prince； because themselves are not onlythemselves， but their good and evil is at the peril of the public fortune But it is a desperateevil in a servant to a prince， or a citizen in a republic For whatsoever affairs pass such aman's hands， he crooketh them to his own ends； which must needs to be often eccentric tothe ends of his master or state Therefore， let princes， or states， choose such servants ashave not this mark； except they mean their service should be made but the accessory Thatwhich maketh the effect more pernicious is that all proportion is lost It were disproportionenough for the servant's good to be preferred before the master's； but yet it is a greaterextreme， when a little good of the servant shall carry things against a great good of themaster's And yet that is the case of bad officers， treasurers， ambassadors， generals， andother false and corrupt4 servants； which set a bias upon their bowl， of their own petty endsand envies， to the overthrow of their master's great and important affairs And for the mostpart， the good such servants receive is after the model of their own fortune；

英语散文名篇欣赏：青春

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees It is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life

青春不是人生的一段时间，而是一种心态;青春不在于满面红光，嘴唇红润，腿脚麻利，而在于意志刚强，想象丰富，情感饱满;青春是生命之泉的明澈清新。

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 Nobody grows old merely by a number of yearsWe grow old by deserting our ideals

青春意味着在气质上勇敢战胜怯懦，进取精神战胜安逸享受。这种气质在60岁的老人中比在20岁的青年中更常见。仅仅一把年纪决不会导致衰老。我们之所以老态龙钟，是因为我们放弃了对理想的追求。

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul Worry, fear, self distrust blows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust

岁月的流逝会在皮肤上留下皱纹，而热情的丧失却会给灵魂刻下皱纹。焦虑、恐惧和缺乏自信会使心情沮丧，意志泯灭。

Whether 60 0r 16, there is in every human being's heart the unfailing child like appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station, so long as it receives message of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young

无论是60岁，还是16岁，每一个人的心田都有着寻根问底、追求人生乐趣的不泯童心。在你我的心田中有座无线电台，只要它能接受来自人类和上帝的美感、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量，你就会永葆青春。

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80

如果你收起天线，给自己的心灵蒙上一层玩世不恭的霜雪和悲观厌世的冰凌，即使你年方二十，你已垂垂老矣;但只要你竖起天线去收集乐观进取的电波，那就有希望在你八十高龄辞世之时仍然青春焕发。

英语散文名篇欣赏：热爱生活

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names It is not so bad as you are It looks poorest when you are richest The fault-finder will find faults in paradise Love your life, poor as it is You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house

不论你的生活如何卑微，你都要面对它，生活下去，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，看似最穷困。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要热爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个救济所里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。

The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode ; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving

夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像射在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。

Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means Which should be more disreputable Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends, turn the old, return to them Things do not change; we change Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts

大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来应对生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要寻找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

 

英语散文名篇欣赏：An Illusion 一种错觉

It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched, for they are full of the truthless ideals which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real they are bruised and wounded It looks as if they were victims of a conspiracy; for the books they read, ideal by the necessity of selection, and the conversation of their elders, who look back upon the past through a rosy haze of forgetfulness, prepare them for an unreal life

They must discover for themselves that all they have read and all they have been told are lies, lies, lies; and each discovery is another nail drivens into the body on the cross of life The strange thing is that each one who has gone through that bitter disillusionment add to it in his turn,, unconsciously, by the power within him which is stronger than himself

认为青春是快乐的，这是一种错觉，是那些失去了青春的人的一种错觉。年轻人知道，自己是不幸的，他们脑子里充斥了被灌输的不切实际的想法，每次与现实接触时，都会碰的头破血流。似乎，他们是某种阴谋的牺牲者：那些他们所读过的精挑细选的书，那些长辈们谈起的因遗忘而蒙上玫瑰色薄雾的往事，都为年轻人提供了一种不真实的生活。

他们必须自己发现，所有他们读到的、听到的东西，都是谎言、谎言、谎言。每一次的这样的发现，都像是另一根钉子钉入他们的身体，那被束缚在生活的十字架上的身体。可是奇怪的是，每个曾经被这种错觉折磨过的人，轮到他们时，有一种不可控制的力量，让他们不自觉地为别人增添这种错觉。

"Spare me!" begged the poor Mouse "Please let me go and some day I will surely repay you"

The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him But he was generous and finally let the Mouse go

Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils of a hunter's net Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring

几天后，狮子在森林里面寻找猎物的时候。被猎人布下的网困住了。它自己无力挣脱，整个森林充斥着它愤怒地咆哮。

The Mouse knew the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in the net Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was free

老鼠认出了狮子的声音，迅速找到了被困的狮子，不停地咬着困住狮子的绳子，直到它松开，狮子终于获得了自由。

"You laughed when I said I would repay you," said the Mouse "Now you see that even a Mouse can help a Lion"

“我说会报答你的时候，你曾笑话我，现在你看到了吧，哪怕是一只老鼠也是可以帮助一只狮子的。”

A kindness is never wasted

没有哪个善举是白费的。

As we moved in I watched as family, friends and our community continued to donate all they could to help us get back on our feet

我们搬进这所房子时，我环顾四周，家人、朋友、还有社区里的邻居们源源不断地倾其所有援助我们，帮助我们重振家园。

There was more clothes, furniture, food, money, and even some books for me to read

我们又收到了新衣服、新家具、食物、钱，我甚至还收到了基本可以阅读的书。

Looking back now I am grateful for all we went through that Summer because it taught me so much about life, love, and people

现在回忆那个时候，我对我们经历的一切心存感恩，因为它教会了我很多东西，有关人生，有关爱，还有人性。

It showed me that when you have nothing left but love, for the first time you see that love is enough

May you always have “Enough” then for all the days of your life here
