　　晨讀英語美文3篇摘抄

　　What will matter?

　　什么才重要?

　　Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.

　　無論是否準(zhǔn)備好，總有一天它都會走到盡頭。 那里沒有日出，沒有白天，沒有小時和分鐘。 你收集的所有東西，不管你珍惜或忘記與否，它們都將流入他人手中。

　　Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.

　　因此，什么重要呢? 怎么衡量你有生之年的價值呢?

　　晨讀英語美文3篇鑒賞

　　Gold and Diamond黃金和鉆石

　　A long time ago, in Egypt lived a famous mystical person named Zun-Nun. A young man came to visit him and asked,"Teacher, I do not understand why people like you when you dress in such a simple way?"

　　很久以前，在埃及生活著一位著名的神秘人物，他的名字叫做祖南。有一個年輕人前去拜訪他，問道：“老師，我不明白為什么人們喜歡穿著簡單的您?”

　　The mystic only smiled and took his ring from one of his fingers, and said:"Young friend, I will answer your question, but first do one thing for me, take this ring and go to the market across this street, can you sell this for one chip of gold?"

　　哲人笑而不答，從他的手指上取下戒指，說：“我的朋友，我會回答你的問題的，但是，你得先替我做件事情。把這只戒指拿到街對面的市場上，看看能不能賣上一塊金子。”

　　Looking at Zun-Nun's dirty ring, the young man became doubtful, "One chip of gold? I am not sure this ring could be sold at that price."

　　年輕人看了看祖南那枚不太干凈的戒指，心中充滿懷疑：“賣塊金子?這枚戒指能賣到那個價錢嗎?”

　　The young man went to the market quickly. He offered the ring to the textile, vegetable, meat, fish traders, and the others. The fact is that no body was willing to pay for a chip of Gold. He went back to Zun-Nun's residence and reported,"Teacher, nobody's brave enough to offer more than one chip of silver."

　　年輕人很快就來到了市場。他把這枚戒指介紹給賣布的、賣菜的、賣肉的，賣魚的商人和一些其他的人。事實上沒有一個人愿意花金子來買這枚戒指。年輕人回到了祖南的住處，說：“老師，這枚戒指連一塊銀子也沒有人愿意買。”

　　With a wise smile Zun-Nun said,"Now go to the Gold Shop at the back of this street and show this to the owner or to the gold trader. Don't give your price; just listen how much he will pay for this ring."

　　祖南睿智地笑了，說：“現(xiàn)在你把它拿到街后面的金店，給黃金商人看看。你不要給價錢，看看黃金商人會出多少錢。”

　　The young man went to the shop mentioned and returned with a different expression_r_r_r on his face. He then reported,"Teacher, the traders in the market really didn't know the value of this ring, the gold trader offered this ring for one thousand of gold, and the value of this ring was one thousands times from what the traders in the market offered."

　　年輕人去了金店，回來時表情與剛才大不相同。他說：“老師，市場上的那些商人真的不知道這枚戒指的價值，黃金商人出價一千枚金幣，這個價是那些市場上的人的一千倍。”

　　Zun-Nun just smiled subtly and spoke softly," That was the answer of your question, my friend. Someone cannot be valued only from his dress. The traders in the market give value like that but not for 'the gold trader'."

　　祖南微笑著說：“這就是我給你的答案。我們不能只憑一個人的衣著來判斷他的價值，市場上的商人就是這樣，只憑東西的表面樣子來定價，而那些黃金商人則恰恰相反。”

　　The gold and diamond inside someone only could be seen and valued if you could look at the inner soul. It needs heart to see, and it needs a process. We cannot see it from the words or attitude. Many a time what we think is a gold, is only a brass but a brass is a gold.

　　只有當(dāng)你接近一個人的心靈的時候，才能看見這個人內(nèi)在的“黃金”與“鉆石”。這需要用心去觀察，而且也需要一個過程。我們不能通過一個人的言語和態(tài)度來判斷一個人的價值。有許多時候我們認(rèn)為是金子的東西，只是黃銅而已;而我們認(rèn)為是黃銅的東西，恰恰是金子。

　　晨讀英語美文3篇賞析

　　Look Around You 看看你周圍

　　A very special teacher in a high school had a husband who died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her thoughts with a classroom of students. As the late afternoon sunlight shined through the classroom windows, and when the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on her desk and sat down there.

　　一個很特別的高中老師，其丈夫死于突發(fā)性心臟病。在他死后大約一周，她便把她的一些所思所想講給全班學(xué)生。下午的陽光透過教室的窗戶照射進(jìn)來，快要放學(xué)了，她把一些東西放在講桌上，坐了下來。

　　With a gentle look on her face, she paused and said, "Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought which I feel is very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves...and none of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment. Perhaps this is a sign that we must make the most out of every single day."

　　她臉上帶著溫柔的表情，稍稍停頓了一下，便開始講話：“在放學(xué)前，我想跟你們分享一種我認(rèn)為很重要的想法。我們每個人都生活在地球上，學(xué)習(xí)、分享、愛護(hù)別人、欣賞和付出自我，卻沒有一個人知道這種美好的體驗什么時候就會結(jié)束了。它隨時都可能被帶走。也許這預(yù)示著我們必須最大限度地利用每一個日子。”

　　Her eyes beginning to water, she went on, "So I would like you all to make me a promise...from now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn't have to be something you see---it could be a scent---perhaps of freshly baked bread wafting out of someone's house, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the way the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground. Please, look for these things, and remember them.

　　她的眼睛開始濕潤了，她接著說：“因此我想讓你們每個人答應(yīng)我：從今以后，在你上學(xué)或者放學(xué)的路上，要發(fā)現(xiàn)一些美麗的事物。它不一定是你看到的某個東西----它可能是一種香味----也許是新鮮烤面包的味道從某一座房里飄出來，也許是微風(fēng)輕拂樹葉的聲音，或者是晨光照射在輕輕飄落的秋葉上的方式。請你們尋找這些東西并且記住它們吧。”

　　"For, although it may sound silly to some people, these things are the 'stuff' of life. The little things we are put here on earth to enjoy. The things we often take for granted. We must make it important to notice them, for at any time...it can all be taken away."

　　“因為，盡管聽起來有些傻氣，這些東西卻就是生活的內(nèi)容，是我們活在世上要欣賞的一些小東西。這些東西我們經(jīng)常認(rèn)為是理所當(dāng)然的。我們必須注意它們，這很重要，因為說不定在什么時候，它就被帶走了。”

　　The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and filed out of the room silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what an impression she made on all us, and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all overlook.

　　整個教室里非常安靜。我們都收拾起課本，整理好，一個個默默地走出教室。那天下午，在放學(xué)回家的路上我注意到很多事物，比我以前整個學(xué)期發(fā)現(xiàn)的事物還要多。不時地，我會想到那位老師，回憶起她給我們留下的深刻印象，我便會盡力去欣賞有時我們都忽略的東西。

　　Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot. Or walk on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double dip ice cream cone. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn't do.

　　今天中午吃飯的時候?qū)Ｗ⒁幌履闼吹降奶貏e事物。光著腳丫散散步?；蛟谌章鋾r分在沙灘上漫步。今晚在回家的路上，要駐足仔細(xì)品味一下冰淇淋蛋卷。因為隨著我們年齡的增長，并不是做過的事情值得我們后悔，而是那些沒有去做的事情。
