1、高级美文必背10篇1.Youth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, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想

2、象，炙热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。Youth means a temperamentalpredominanceof 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 years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐

3、气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human beings heart the lure o

4、f wonder, the unfailing childlikeappetiteof whats 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 messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳

5、龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。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

6、may die young at 80.一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。2.生命之笔Suppose someone gave you a pen - a sealed, solid-colored pen.假如有人送你一支笔，一支不可拆卸的单色钢笔。You couldnt see how much ink it had. It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enou

7、gh to create a masterpiece(or several) that would last forever andmake a difference in the scheme of things.You dont know before you begin. Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance!看不出里面究竟有多少墨水。或许在你试探性地写上几个字后它就会枯干，或许足够用来创作一部影响深远的不朽巨著(或是几部)。而这些，在动笔前，都是无法得知的。 在这个游戏

8、规则下，你真的永远不会预知结果。你只能去碰运气！And of what would you write: Of love? Hate? Fun? Misery? Life?Death? Nothing? Everything? Would you write to please just yourself? Or others?Or yourself by writing for others? Would your strokes be tremblingly timid or brilliantly bold? Fancy with a flourish or plain? Would y

9、ou even write? Once you have the pen, no rule says you have to write. Would you sketch? Scribble?Doodle or draw? Would you stay in or on the lines, or see no lines at all, even if they were there? Or are they?你又会用笔写下些什么呢：爱？恨？喜？悲？生？死？虚无？万物？你写作只是为了愉己？还是为了悦人？抑或是借替人书写而愉己？你的落笔会是颤抖胆怯的，还是鲜明果敢的？你的想象会是丰富的还是贫

10、乏的？甚或你根本没有落笔？这是因为，你拿到笔以后，没有哪条规则说你必须写作。也许你要画素描，乱写一气？信笔涂鸦？画画？你会保持写在线内还是线上，还是根本看不到线，即使有线在那里？嗯，真的有线吗？Theres a lot to think about here, isnt there?这里面有许多东西值得考虑，不是吗？Now, suppose someone gave you a life.现在，假如有人给予你一支生命的笔3.Living life over假如生活重新再来If I had my life to live over I would have talked less and lis

13、ns.我会与我的孩子一起坐在草坪上，不用担心草地上的污渍。I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.我会在看电视时哭得更少,笑得更少，而更多的是观察生活。I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I were not there for the day.当我生病时,我会上床睡觉，而

14、不是假装如果我不在一天,地球就会停止不动。I would never have bought anything just because it was practical，would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.我再也不会购买任何据说是实用的,不显脏,保证可用一生的东西。There would have been more“I love yous”more“Im sorry”but mostly，given another shots at life，I would seize every minutelook at

For life is a paradox: it enjoins us to cling to its many gifts even while itordainstheir e

20、ventualrelinquishment. The rabbis of old put it this way: “A man comes to this world with his fist clenched, but when he dies, his hand is open.”生活的艺术在于懂得什么时候追求，什么时候放弃。因为生活就是一个矛盾体：它要我们紧紧抓住它赐予我们的生命之礼，然后最终又让它们从我们手中跑掉。老先生们说：“人们紧握着拳头来到这个世界上，离开这个世界时却摊开了双手。”Surely we ought to hold fast to life, for it is

21、wondrous, and full of a beauty that breaks through every pore of Gods own earth. We know that this is so, but all too often we recognize this truth only in our backward glance when we remember what was and then suddenly realize that it is no more.当然我们应该紧紧把握生活，因为它美妙得不可思议，充满了从上帝的每个毛孔里蹦出来的美。我们都清楚这一点，但我

22、们常常只有在回首往事时才会想去过去，才会突然意识到过去永远地消逝了，才会承认这个道理。We remember a beauty that faded, a love that waned. But we remember with far greater pain that we did not see that beauty when it flowered, that we failed to respond with love when it was tendered.我们都记得美的褪去，爱的老去。但我们更痛苦地记得美正艳时，我们却没有发现，爱正浓时，我们却没有回应。Here then

23、is the first pole of lifesparadoxicaldemands on us: Never too busy for the wonder and the awe of life. Be reverent before each dawning day. Embrace each hour. Seize each golden minute.这就是生活对我们自己自相矛盾要求的第一步：永远不要因为忙碌而忽略了它的奇妙和庄严。对即将到来的每一天，我们都要心怀敬意，拥抱没一小时，抓住每一分钟。Hold fast to life. but not so fast that yo

24、u cannot let go. This is the second side of lifes coin, the opposite pole of its paradox: we must accept our losses, and learn how to let go.抓住生活，但不要抓得太紧，以至你放不下手。这就是生活像硬币一样也有另一面，也是生活矛盾的另一极：我们必须接受放弃，并且学会怎样让它过去。This is not an easy lesson to learn, especially when we are young and think that the world

25、is ours to command, that whatever we desire with the full force of our passionate being can,nay, will be ours. But then life moves along to confront us with realities, and slowly but surely this truth dawns upon us.学会这些并非易事。特别是年少轻狂的时候，我们自认为是世界的主宰者，认为只要充满激情地全力追求，就可以得到一切。然而，事实并非如此。只有在面对种种现实时，我们才会渐渐没明白

26、这个道理。At every stage of life wesustainlossesand grow in the process. We begin our independent lives only when we emerge from thewomband lose its protective shelter. We enter a progression of schools, then we leave our mothers and fathers and our childhood homes. We get married and have children and t

27、hen have to let them go. We confront the death of our parents and our spouses. We face the gradual or not so gradualwaningof our strength. And ultimately, as theparableof the open and closed hand suggests, we must confront the inevitabilityof our own demise, losing ourselves as it were, all that we

28、were or dreamed to be. 在人生的各个阶段，我们都会蒙受损失并且在这一过程中成长。只有在脱离母体.失去庇护所时，我们才会开始独立的生活。我们不断地升学，接着又离开父母，离开儿时的故乡。继而，我们结婚生子，然后又放手让自己的子女出去闯荡。随着父母和配偶的相继离世，我们也逐渐或者很快衰老。最终，正如双手张开与紧握这一寓言所说，我们必须面对自身的死亡，失去原来的自我，失去我们拥有过或者憧憬过的一切。7. 世界上最遥远的距离The Furthest Distance in the World The furthest distance in the world世界上最遥远的距离Is
