英语美文欣赏：中国的假期旅游
Travels on Holidaysin China
Nowadays, more and more people like to travel in their holidays. The other day I read a report about the ways people spend their holidays. It is reported that in recent yiars several new holiday habits have been developed. Among them, the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps.
From the report we can see that in 1990,40 percent of people stayed at home for holidays. But now the proportion has reduced to 9 percent. More people go out for fun. The proportion of camping and traveling abroad was increasing steadily, from 10 percent in 1990 to 38 percent in 2002, and 12 percent in 1990 to 26 percent in 2002 respectively.
People enjoy the fresh air, clean Water and green hills when they go camping in the suburbs. In 1990,38 percent people enjoyed going to the seaside while in 2002 only 27 percent prefer to go there. What great changes! Why did those changes appear? I think there are several reasons. First, it' s because people can afford traveling. Second, people prefer to pursue a high-quality and colorful life. Third, their attitudes to relaxation have changed.
Less people want to save much money by leading a simple life. In short, people's living standard today has been rising greatly.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?"
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

英语美文欣赏：《藏地密码》读后感
Recently, I read a Chinese monumental adventure masterpiece about Tibetan culture –“The Tibet Code.” "The Tibet Code" is the only great adventure novel about pursuit of Tibetan Buddhism andTibetmillennium secret history in the world. Reading this book, I have deeply felt something about the anchorage of life many times.
最近，我读了一部关于西藏文化的中国冒险巨作----《藏地密码》。《藏地密码》是世界上唯一一部关于藏传佛教的追求和西藏千年历史秘密的伟大冒险小说。读了这本书，我多次深切的感受到生命的脆弱点。
Still remember that, when the main hero in the novel Mr. Johnson sunk in the depth of the most dangerous and despairing abyss, his lover gave up for lost suddenly and then lost her breathing, lost her all hope and spirit support and tended to death. It’s the first time I have realized the strong power of the anchorage of life. Another example, when a person in the work who has found his lost wife more than seventeen years found that his wife had been killed, he seemed old instantly and lost himself suddenly. In the last seventeen years, all that the person left with was to seek his wife back one day.
仍记得，小说的主人公约翰先生陷入最危险和绝望的深渊的时候，他的爱人突然放弃了，接着就没了呼吸。她失去了所有的希望和精神支柱，想要寻死。这是我第一次感觉到生命的脆弱。还有一个例子是，一个人在工作的时候发现失踪了十七年的妻子已经被人谋杀，他好像瞬间苍老和迷失自己。在过去的十七年里，那个所剩的一切就是希望有一天能找回他的妻子。
These might be some kind of exaggerated in novel, but we have ever seen or heard the similar experiences in our real life. All these have t...

英语美文欣赏：书写你的生命
Write Your Own Life
书写你的生命
Suppose someone gave you a pen — a sealed, solid-colored pen.You couldn’t see how much ink it had.
假设有人给了你一枝笔，一枝密封的、纯色的水笔，里面有多少墨水你看不到。
It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things.You don’t know before you begin.
很可能刚刚试写几字便用干耗尽;也可能足以完成一部或几部杰作，永存于世，使世事为之大变。
Under the rules of the game, you really never know.You have to take a chance!
而这一切你在动笔之前却是一无所知。根据游戏的规则，你确实永远也不会知道，只能冒一下险。
Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.
而事实上，也没有规则说你就一定要做些什么。你大可以把笔搁在架子上、放在抽屉里，弃置不用，任墨水蒸发干净。
But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?
然而，如果你真的决定使用，你会做什么?怎么来做这个游戏?
Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word?
你会左计划、右计划，然后才慢慢下笔吗?
Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?
计划会不会太泛太多，根本就达不到写作这一步?
Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the...

英语美文欣赏：一只木碗
The Wooden Bowl
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather's direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old son watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back...

英语美文：林书豪的成功经历背后的人生道理
1. Believe in yourself when no one else does. Lin’s only the 4th graduate from Harvard to make it to the NBA. He’s also one of only a handful of Asian-Americans to make it. He was sent by the Knicks to play for their D-League team 3 weeks ago in Erie, PA. He’d already been cut by two other NBA teams before joining the Knicks this year. You’ve got to believe in yourself, even when no one else does.
即使没人相信你也不能绝望。林书豪只是第四位能够进入NBA的哈佛学生。他也只是一小撮能够登陆NBA的亚裔美国人之一。在三个星期前，他还曾被尼克斯队下放到NBDL球队宾州伊利海鹰队。在这个赛季加盟尼克斯队之前，林书豪曾被两支其他的NBA球队裁掉。即使没人相信你了，你也不能对自己绝望。
2. Seize the opportunity when it comes up. Lin got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him. They had too many injuries. Baron Davis was gone. The other point guards were out. Carmelo Anthony was injured. Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death. Lin could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed. But he made the most of it. You never know when opportunities are going to arise in life. Often, they’re when you least expect them. Make the most of them. Don’t fritter them away.
当机会来临时要好好把握。尼克斯队之所以让林书豪打上首发，实属无奈之举， 他们的伤病球员太多了。拜伦 戴维斯(Baron Davis)一直无法上场。其他控球后卫也不能出战。卡梅罗·安东尼( Carmelo Anthony)受伤了。阿玛雷 斯塔德迈尔(Amare Stoudemire)因为家人去世而离队奔丧。如果林书豪浪费掉这个机会，他将不会得到我们的关注。但是他很好地利用了这个机会。在生活中，你从不知道 机会何时会降临。通常，在你最不期待的时候，机会就会出现。尽最大限度地利用...

英语美文：你和我的伊甸园
Our Eden
I do trust, my dearest, that you have been employing this bright day for both of us; for I have spent it in my dungeon, and the only light that broke upon me was when I opened your letter.
我确信，我最亲爱的，你为我们选定了今天这个晴朗的好日子;我在城堡主楼困了一天，唯一的一线光是打开你的信时才得到的。
I am sometimes driven to wish that you and I could mount upon a cloud (as we used to fancy in those heavenly walks of ours). And be home quite out of sight and hearing of the world; for now all the people in the world seem to come between us. How happy were Adam and Eve!
我不时产生——个愿望，我多么想和你驾上一朵白云 (我们在醉人的漫步中常常这样幻想)，远离世俗喧嚣;因为现在似乎世界上什么样的人都与我们在一起。亚当和夏娃曾经多么幸福啊!
There was no third person to come between them, and all the infinity around them only seemed to press their hearts closer together. We love one another as well as there is no silent and love garden of Eden for us. Will you sail away with me to discover some summer island?
有第三者介入他们中间，而他们周围无限的空间似乎把他们的心贴得更紧了。我们像他们一样彼此相爱;但对我们来说，却没有静谧可爱的伊甸园。你为什么不跟我一道远航寻觅夏之岛?
Do you not think that god has reserved one for us, ever since the beginning of the world? Foolish that I am to raise a question of it, since we have found such an Eden such an island sacred to us two whenever we have been together!
你不认为上帝从一开始就保留了这样一个岛给我们吗?既然我们已经找到了这样的伊甸园，我提出这样一个问题不是太愚蠢了吗?我们已经有了只有你我专用的伊甸园…...

英语美文精选：一篇浪漫的散文
I am the wind， the gentle wind; I am the clouds， the slow， drifting clouds; I am the water， the silent water; I am the mountains， the boundless mountains…
我是风，轻轻的风;我是云，缓缓的云;我是水，静静的水;我是山，连绵的山……
If you so want， I will be the gentle wind that will wrap around your lonely spirit! If you so desire， I will be the slow， drifting clouds that will unquestioningly be your support! If you so wish， I will be that silent water， without a murmur， protecting you by your side. If you so will， I will love you unrelentingly， just like those boundless， unbroken mountain ranges and valleys! But， I regret I am not the wind and not able to take care of you. I hate that I am not the clouds and not able to bring you warmth; I pity myself that I am not the water and not able to be so pure; I am angry that I am not the mountains and not able to have my love will be as immovable as I would like.
如果你愿意，我愿做那轻轻的风抚慰着你寂寞的心灵!如果你愿意，我就是那缓缓的云从容地让你依偎!如果你愿意，我来做你身边静静的水默默地将你守护!如果你愿意，我将会不懈地爱你就象那连绵不断的山川! 我悔我不是风，因为我不够体贴;我恨我不是云，因为我不够温柔;我怨我不是水，因为我不够清澈;我怒我不是山，因为我的爱不够坚定……
I can only be myself this time， my mortal， earthly self， my only self， the only self that I can ever hope to be. I thirst for love but I do not understand her deep mystery. I strive for transcendence but I would rather be silent and nameless. I want to be mature but I would rather remain inno...
