　　英語朗誦短文1-3分鐘篇1：Be Happy!

　　“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield

　　when I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.

　　Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.

　　Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment ---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.

　　Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall. Happy, the wall crumbles.

　　The long vista is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you----people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger scene. Everything assumes a fairer proportion. And here is the beginning of wisdom.

　　譯文：

　　快樂

　　“快樂的日子使人睿智。”

　　--- 約翰•梅斯菲爾德

　　第一次讀到英國桂冠詩人梅斯菲爾德的這行詩時，我感到十分震驚。他想表達什么意思?我以前從未對此仔細考慮，總是認定這行詩反過來才正確。但他冷靜而又胸有成竹的表達引起了我的注意，令我無法忘懷。

　　終于，我似乎領會了他的意思，并意識到這行詩意義深遠?？鞓穾淼念Ｖ谴嬖谟诿翡J的洞察力之間，不會因憂慮而含混迷惑，也不會因絕望和厭倦而黯然模糊，更不會因恐懼而造成盲點。

　　積極的快樂 – 并非單純的滿意或知足 – 通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然綻放。然后，你就會發(fā)覺與快樂結伴而來的究竟是何種智慧。草地更為青翠，鳥吟更為甜美，朋友的缺點也變得更能讓人理解，寬容。快樂就像是一副眼鏡，可以矯正你的精神視力。

　　快樂的視野并不僅限于你周圍的事物。當你不快樂時，你的思維陷入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就像是被一道墻給阻隔了，而當你快樂時，這道墻就會砰然倒塌。

　　你的眼界變得更為寬廣。你腳下的大地，你身邊的世界，包括人，思想，情感和壓力，現(xiàn)在都融入了更為廣闊的景象之中，其間每件事物 的比例都更加合理。而這就是睿智的起始。

　　英語朗誦短文1-3分鐘篇2：Facing the Enemies Within

　　We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you’ve read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o’clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won’t need to live in fear of it.

　　Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.

　　Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within. The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference. What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum, let it slide. I’ll just drift along.” Here’s one problem with drifting: you can’t drift your way to the to of the mountain.

　　The second enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.

　　The third enemy inside is doubt. Sure, there’s room for healthy skepticism. You can’t believe everything. But you also can’t let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities nad doubt the opportunities. Worse of all, they doubt themselves. I’m telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it.

　　The fourth enemy within is worry. We’ve all got to worry some. Just don’t let conquer you. Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the curb in New York City and a taxi is coming, you’ve got to worry. But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner. Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, you’ve got to get it. Whatever is pushing on you, you’ve got to push back.

　　The fifth interior enemy is overcaution. It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue; it’s an illness. If you let it go, it’ll conquer you. Timid people don’t get promoted. They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace. You’ve got to avoid overcaution.

　　Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what’s holding ou back, what’s keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.

　　譯文：

　　直面內在的敵人

　　我們的勇氣并不是與生俱來的，我們的恐懼也不是。也許有些恐懼來自你的親身經歷，別人告訴你的故事，或你在報紙上讀到的東西。有些恐懼可以理解，例如在凌晨兩點獨自走在城里不安全的地段。但是一旦你學會避免那種情況，你就不必生活在恐懼之中。

　　恐懼，哪怕是最基本的恐懼，也可能徹底粉碎我們的抱負?？謶挚赡艽輾ж敻?，也可能摧毀一段感情。如果不加以控制，恐懼還可能摧毀我們的生活?？謶质菨摲谖覀儍刃牡谋姸鄶橙酥?。

　　讓我來告訴你我們面臨的其他五個內在敵人。第一個你要在它襲擊你之前將其擊敗的敵人是冷漠。打著哈欠說：“隨它去吧，我就隨波逐流吧。”這是多么可悲的疾病啊!隨波逐流的問題是：你不可能漂流到山頂去。

　　我們面臨的第二個敵人是優(yōu)柔寡斷。它是竊取機會和事業(yè)的賊，它還會偷去你實現(xiàn)更美好未來的機會。向這個敵人出劍吧!

　　第三個內在的敵人是懷疑。當然，正常的懷疑還是有一席之地的，你不能相信一切。但是你也不能讓懷疑掌管一切。許多人懷疑過去，懷疑未來，懷疑彼此，懷疑政府，懷疑可能性，并懷疑機會。最糟糕的是，他們懷疑自己。我告訴你，懷疑會毀掉你的生活和你成功的機會，它會耗盡你的存款，留給你干涸的心靈。懷疑是敵人，追趕它，消滅它。

　　第四個內在的敵人是擔憂。我們都會有些擔憂，不過千萬不要讓擔憂征服你。相反，讓它來警醒你。擔憂也許能派上用場。當你在紐約走上人行道時有一輛出租車向你駛來，你就得擔憂。但你不能讓擔憂像瘋狗一樣失控，將你逼至死角。你應該這樣對付自己的擔憂：把擔憂驅至死角。不管是什么來打擊你，你都要打擊它。不管什么攻擊你，你都要反擊。

　　第五個內在的敵人是過分謹慎。那是膽小的生活方式。膽怯不是美德，而是一種疾病。如果你不理會它，它就會將你征服。膽怯的人不會得到提拔，他們在市場中不會前進，不會成長，不會變得強大。你要避免過分謹慎。

　　一定要向這引起敵人開戰(zhàn)。一定要向恐懼開戰(zhàn)。鼓起勇氣抗擊阻擋你的事物，與阻止你實現(xiàn)目標和夢想的事物作斗爭。要勇敢地生活，勇敢地追求你想要的事物并勇敢地成為你想成為的人。
