英语经典美文阅读:无知的快乐

　人类的本能的确是知道趋利避害的，所以人类天生就不是完全无知的。人类知道吃饱穿暖是快乐的，所以人们致力于提高物质生活水平，提高的方法就是掌握更多的知识。于是人们不愿安于无知。

　The Pleasures of Ignorance

　无知的快乐

　It is impossible to take a walk in the country with an average townsman?especially, perhaps, in April or May-without being amazed at the vast continent of his ignorance. It is impossible to take a walk in the country oneself without being amazed at the vast continent of one's own ignorance. Thousands of men and women live and die without knowing the difference between a beech and an elm, between the song of a thrush and the song of a blackbird. Probably in a modern city the man who can distinguish between a thrush's and a blackbird's song is the exception. It is not that we have not seen the birds. It is simply that we have not noticed them. We have been surrounded by birds all our lives, yet so feeble is our observation that many of us could not tell whether or not the chaffinch sings, or the colour of the cuckoo.

　和一个普通的城里人在乡村漫步?特别是，可能在四五月份你不可能不对他无知的领域之广而感到惊讶。一个人去乡间散步，你不可能不对自己无知的领域之广而感到惊讶。成千上万的男男女女活着然后去，一辈子也不知道山毛榉和榆树之间有什么区别，不知道画眉和黑鹂的啼鸣有什么不同。现代都市中能辨别画眉和黑鹂叫声的人大概是极其罕见的。并非我们没有见过这两种鸟儿，仅仅是因为我们从不去注意它们。我们一生中都有鸟儿生活在我们周围，然而我们的观察力是如此微弱，以致我们中间许多人弄不清楚苍头燕雀是否全唱歌，说不出布谷鸟是什么颜色。

　This ignorance, however, is not altogether miserable. Out of it we get the constant pleasure of discovery. Every fact of nature comes to us each spring, if only we are sufficiently ignorant, with the dew still on it. If we have lived half a lifetime without having ever even seen a cuckoo, and know it only as a wandering voice, we are all the more delighted at the spectacle of its runaway flight as it hurries from wood to wood conscious of its crimes, and at the way in which it halts hawk-like in the wind, its long tail quivering, before it dares descend on a hill-side of fir-trees where avenging presences may lurk.

　然而，这种无知并不完全是不幸的。从无知中，我们能源源不断地获取发现带来的喜悦。但愿我们真的一无听知，那么每到春天，各种自然现象就会带着清新的露珠呈现在我们眼前。如果我们已生活半生，甚至未曾见过一只布谷鸟，而仅仅把它当成一个四处飘荡的声音，那么.当我们亲眼目睹它因为自知自己的罪恶在林木间匆匆逃离穿梭，看到它如何如鹰般在风中骤然停止鸣叫，摆动着瑟瑟发抖的长尾翼，不敢在小山旁的冷杉上停歇，担心那里危机四伏时，我们一定会更加欣喜。

　It would be absurd to pretend that the naturalist does not also find pleasure in observing the life of the birds, but his is a steady pleasure, almost a sober and plodding occupation, compared to the morning enthusiasm of the man who sees a cuckoo for the first time. And, as to that, the happiness even of the naturalist depends in some measure upon his ignorance, which still leaves him new worlds of this kind to conquer.He may have reached the very Z of knowledge in the books, but he still feels half ignorant until he has confirmed each bright particular with his eyes. Assuredly the men of science have no reason as yet to weep over their lost ignorance. There will always be a fortune of ignorance waiting for them under every fact they turn up.

　如果假设博物学家在观察鸟类的生活时发现不到乐趣，那是荒谬可笑的。和清晨有人第一次看到布谷鸟的兴奋相比，博物学家的快乐是稳固的，他们的工作是严肃和漫长的。为此，甚至是博物学家的幸福在某种程度上也取决他的无知，无知给他留下这类新天地让他去征服。他的书本知识可能已经达到了顶峰，但是，在他亲眼证实每一个光辉的细节之前，他仍然感到自己是半无知的，无疑，科学家们迄今没有理由为他们错过的无知而哭泣。在他们发掘出的每一个事实下面总将会有一笔无知的财富在等待着他们。

　But your and my ignorance is not confined to cuckoos. It dabbles in all created things, from the sun and moon down to the names of the flowers, including nearly everything you and I have taken for granted. One of the greatest joys known to man is to take such a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge. The great pleasure of ignorance is, after all, the pleasure of asking questions. The man who has lost this pleasure or exchanged it for the pleasure of dogma, which is the pleasure of answering, is already beginning to stiffen. Do not forget that Socrates. was famed for wisdom not because he was omniscient but because he realised at the age of seventy that he still knew nothing. Once more I shall see the world as a garden through the eyes of a stranger, my breath taken away with surprise by the painted fields.

　但是，你我的`无知绝不仅仅局限于布谷鸟，它涉及所有的创造物，上到太阳和月亮，下到百花的名称，几乎包括所有你我认为是理所当然的事物。人类感受过的最大快乐之一就是迅速逃到无知中去追求知识。无知的巨大乐趣，归根结底，是提问的乐趣。已经失去了这种快乐的人，或已经用这种快乐去换取教条的乐趣(即回答问题的乐趣)的人，已经开始僵化。不要忘记苏格拉底之所以以智慧闻名于世，并不是因为他无所不知而是因为他在70岁的时候认识到他还什么都不知道.而我将再一次用陌生人的眼光来审视这个花园一样的世界，每当我看到那如画的田野，我都将惊叹不已。

这篇美文的名称是《Angel》。

原文

Once upon a time, a child was ready to be born. So he asked?God, "How am I going to live there? I am so small and helpless."

God?answered, "Among many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child asked, "Here I am in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile. That's enough for me to be happy."

God?answered, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. You will feel your angel's love and be happy."

The child asked, "How will I learn? I don't know the language that human beings speak."

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweetest words you will ever hear. With much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to live."

The child asked, "What am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God smiled, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

The child asked, "Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will protect you even if it means risking her own life."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from the earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly, "Oh God, if I am about to leave?now, please tell me my angel's name."

"Your angel's name is of no importance. You will simply call your angel 'Mom'. "

译文《天使》

从前，一个孩子正准备出生。所以他问上帝，“我怎么在那里生活？我是如此的渺小和无助。”

上帝回答说：“在众多天使中，我为你选择了一个。她会等你，会照顾你的。”

孩子问：“我在天堂，除了唱歌和微笑，我什么也不做。这就足够让我开心了。”

上帝回答说：“你的天使会为你歌唱，也会每天为你微笑。你会感受到天使的爱，并感到幸福。”

孩子问：“我要怎么学？”？我不懂人类的语言。”

上帝说：“你的天使会告诉你你所听到的最美丽、最甜蜜的话语。你的天使会以极大的耐心和细心教导你如何生活。”

孩子问：“当我想和你说话的时候，我该怎么办？”

上帝微笑着说：“你的天使会把你的手放在一起，教你如何祈祷。”

孩子问：“谁来保护我？”

上帝说：“你的天使会保护你，即使这意味着冒着生命危险。”

那一刻，天堂里非常平静，但是已经可以听到来自大地的声音，急急忙忙的孩子轻声问道：“哦，上帝，如果我现在就要离开，请告诉我我的天使的名字。”

“你天使的名字不重要。你只要叫你的天使‘妈妈’。”

中学经典英语美文篇一

　Smile

　When you smile, I smile, that?s the deal.

　I will not walk past you and not look you in the eyes and not acknowledge you.

　Instead we will pass each other and say hello.

　Not with our words, for they are not the same; but with our faces.

　I meet you and I see there is good in your eyes, there's passion in your heart and there's a friendly hello in your smile.

　And for the first time we can relate and appreciate each other.

　That?s all it takes, that?s where it starts.

　Because I know that you will smile and I will smile and the rest is easy.

　参考译文

　微笑

　当你微笑，我也微笑，我们一言为定。

　我不会从你身边走过并且不看着你的双眼，不会给你任何回应。

　相反，我们互相走过时会对对方说：?你好?。

　不是我们的语言，因为它们是不一样的;而是用我们的脸。

　我遇到你，我从你的眼睛中看到美好，你心中拥有热情，还有从你的笑容中听到你说?你好?。

　这是我们第一次建立关系，第一次相互欣赏。

　就是这么简单，一切从这一刻开始。

　因为我知道你会微笑，我会微笑，其余一切都会很容易。

中学经典英语美文篇二

　Why Failure Can Be Your FriendI believe it is important to separate good failures from bad failures. Good failures happen when, even though you made the correct decision, you still lost. Bad failures happen because you made bad decisions, or worse, didn?t make a decision at all. Although the two feel the same, they have a completely different long-term impact.

　I?m a novice poker player. One of the first things I learned was that there were good wins and bad wins. Good wins were because you had a sound strategy of betting where the odds were in your favor. Bad wins happened when you just got lucky. Going all-in on a 2-7 off-suit might win the hand. But it doesn?t mean you?re a good poker player.

　Good Failures

　Mentally separating good failures from bad failures takes work. Poker is a simple game where the laws of probability are cleanly defined. Real life is a lot messier. It takes more effort to decide which failures were because of a bad decision and which were just the unintended side-effects of the best choice available.

　Although it can be difficult to separate the two, there are benefits to making two piles instead of just one. By separating the two types of failures, it is easier to persevere through good failures. It may hurt to have your Business proposal shut down for the fifteenth time, but it isn?t necessarily a bad failure.

　By separating the two, you can also avoid more bad failures. If you fail because of laziness, indecision or poor planning, you can quickly correct those in the future. Knowing the difference between good and bad failures keeps you from repeating stupid mistakes.

　Types of Good Failures

　I?ve found that there are several categories of good failures. These are the kinds of failures you might actually seek out. Since they come from good, not bad, decisions, they are the best way to fail.

　1. High Upside, Low Downside

　There are many areas of life where the upside is far greater than the downside. When I write an article, it takes about 90 minutes of work. If nobody comments or responds to that post, then I?ve just wasted 90 minutes.

　However, if the article becomes popular, it can bring in thousands of visitors to my website. Those thousands of visitors translate into new readers who can get value from the website. In addition, the extra traffic often results in a higher monthly income for me.

　Writing blog entries is an example where failure is cheap and winning can be huge. I?d gladly take a dozen or two dozen failures for a big hit. A post that doesn?t get attention is a good failure.

　2. Breaking Through Your Limits

　The only way you can know your limits are to go past them. Occasionally I?ve committed myself to more work than I can handle. The result is stress and, in extreme cases, complete burnout. Doing more than you can handle on a regular basis is a recipe for a nervous breakdown.

　However, if you don?t test those limits and occasionally go past them, you can never improve. You?ll always go slightly below your capacity, never reaching your possible potential. I don?t enjoy an exhausting schedule, but occasionally facing one ensures my productivity muscles stay strong.

　3. Embarrassment and Smart Risk-Taking

　There are some situations where failures and successes can?t be separated. There is no action that will guarantee you only get success. In these cases, it can be useful to ignore the losses since the wins will make up for it.

　Public Speaking is a great example. Any chance you get to speak in public runs you the risk of embarrassment. You might say something stupid. The audience might not like your speech. But if you don?t face those failures, it?s impossible to deliver a fantastic speech.

　4. Staying Inside Your Comfort Zone

　The only way to have a bad failure is to stay put. If you are constantly experimenting and pushing beyond your daily routine, any result is a good result. Avoiding the things that scare you doesn?t make you safe, it makes you weaker.

　Over a year ago I took dance classes. For a self-proclaimed geek, this was definitely a step outside my comfort zone. I loved the class. Even though it was outside of my comfort zone, I had a great time and learned something valuable. This wasn?t a failure, but it just as easily could have been. It?s better to discourage laziness than occasionally stumbling.

　5. Taking on Too Big a Challenge

　More than a few times I?ve set goals that were nearly impossible to accomplish. I didn?t have enough time to reach the deadline and I had no idea what I was doing. Although setting extremely difficult challenges results in a lot of failures, it keeps you sharp.

　The ideal challenge level is where success is possible, but only if you work incredibly hard. Unfortunately, finding this sweet spot means you?ll end up making some goals too hard and others too easy. If you never fail at a big challenge it probably means most of your goals have been set too easy.

　Just as there are good and bad failures, there are good and bad wins. I?d rather have a good failure than a bad win. A bad win might feel nice in the short term, but it is damaging over the big picture.

　Do you have a personal example of a good failure? Please share it in the comments below.

　我爱你，妈妈，并且想让您知道我为什么以做您的女儿而自豪!

　您是一位不平凡的女人：作为一个坚强的女人，在男性世界里取得了许多成绩。您坚强但是温柔，您坚强但是慈爱，您坚强但是富有同情心;

　您是一位不平凡的女人：在这样一个自私的世界里，您却给予别人许多。您帮助您的朋友，家人，每一个人;

　您是一位不平凡的女人，也是一个不平凡的母亲。您被许多人(特别是我)热爱着，您影响了他们的生活。

人的嘴唇所能发出的最甜美的字眼，就是“母亲”；最美好的呼喊，就是“妈妈”。

这是一个简单而又意味深长的字眼，充满了希望、爱、抚慰和人的心灵中所有亲昵、甜蜜和美好的感情。在人生中，母亲乃是一切。

在悲伤时，她是慰籍；在沮丧时，她是希望；在软弱时，她是力量；她是同情、怜悯、慈爱、宽宥的源泉。

谁要是失去了母亲，就失去了他的头所依托的胸膛，失去了为他祝福的手，失去了保护他的眼睛……

母亲这个字眼，蕴藏在我们的心底，就像果核埋在土地深处。在我们悲伤、欢乐的时刻，这个字眼会从我们嘴里迸出，如同万里晴空和细雨蒙蒙时，从玫瑰花蕊溢出的芳香。

母爱

母爱是人间最圣洁、最崇高、最无私的爱。

母爱是灿烂的阳光，炽热而光明。她能融化冰川、净化心灵、蓬勃生机。她以博大的襟怀哺育生命、呵护万物。

母爱是盎然的绿地，芳菲而宜人。她使空气清新、百花缤纷、彩蝶飞舞。她是唯一没被名利污染的一方净土。

母爱是明澈的山泉，洁净而碧澈。她纯而不梁、真而无邪、诚而无瑕，她能洗涤一切污浊。

母爱是一条长长的路。无论你走到哪里，她都伴你延伸、顺畅。那悠悠的牵挂，那谆谆的叮咛，为你指点迷津，护你一路走好。

母爱是一座高高的山。无论你有多大困难，她总是依靠的屏障。那高耸的身躯，为你遮风挡雨，令你心安神怡。

母爱是一泓深深的潭。无论家有多少纠葛，她总是以容纳百川的胸怀，默默忍让。那宽宏的气量，那包含的品格，让家和睦泰然、息事宁人。

母爱是永恒的，不管风雨如何剥蚀，她总是完美无损、永不褪色；母爱是质朴的，她总是心清如水、原汁原味；母爱是执著的，不管命运如何苦涩，她总是掏心吐哺、从不打折。

母爱深明大义、柔中有刚。当你啼哭于襁褓时，母爱是温馨的怀抱。

当你呀呀学语时，母爱是耐心的教导。

当你熬夜备考时，母爱是暖暖的热茶。

当你远行时，母爱是声声的呜咽。

当你取得成绩时，母爱是激动的泪花。

当你病卧在床时，母爱是布满血丝的双眼。

当你沾染恶习时，母爱是苦口婆心的劝勉。

当你如履薄冰而屡教不改时，母爱是撒在你伤口上疼在她心上的那把盐。

母爱是慷慨的，她把爱洒给了春露，洒给了秋霜；留给了晨曦，留给了暮霭；分给了弃婴，分给了遗孤；而惟独忘了她自己。母爱没有陌路、地域、种族的界限，母爱是“幼或幼以及人之幼”的大家，大家无方。母爱是体贴、慰藉、宽容、理解、善良、慈祥的源泉。

母爱之情，惊动天地，感泣鬼神。

母爱之恩，与江河同流，与日月同辉。

愿天下母亲，别忘了留一份爱给自己。愿天下儿女，别忘了回报母爱一缕浓浓的芳馨

母爱，是人类一个亘古不变的主题。 我们赋予它太多的诠释，也赋予它太多的内涵。 没有历史史诗的撼人心魄，没有风卷大海的惊波逆转。母爱就象一场春雨，一 首清歌，润物无声，绵长悠远。

当代散文家余秋雨在一篇文章中写道：“一切远行者的出发点总是与妈妈告 别……而他们的终点则是衰老……暮年的老者呼喊妈妈是不能不让人动容的， 一声呼喊道尽了回归也道尽了漂泊”。

母爱是天涯游子的最终归宿，是润泽儿女心灵的一眼清泉，它伴随儿女的一饮 一啜，丝丝缕缕，绵绵不绝，于是，在儿女的笑声泪影中便融入了母爱的缠绵。

母爱就象一首田园诗，幽远纯净，和雅清淡；

母爱就是一幅山水画，洗去铅华雕饰，留下清新自然；

母爱就象一首深情的歌，婉转悠扬，轻吟浅唱；

母爱就是一阵和煦的风，吹去朔雪纷飞，带来春光无限。

母爱就是一生相伴的盈盈笑语，母爱就是漂泊天涯的缕缕思念，母爱就是儿女病榻前的关切焦灼，母爱就是儿女成长的殷殷期盼。

想起了母亲，志向消沉就会化为意气风发；想起了母亲，虚度年华就会化为豪情万丈；想起了母亲，羁旅漂泊的游子就会萌发起回家的心愿；想起了母亲，

彷徨无依的心灵就找到了栖息的家园。

时光如水，年华易逝，似水流年淡去我们多少回忆，却始终不改我们对母亲的绵绵思念。莺归燕去，春去秋来，容颜渐老，白发似雪。儿女在一天天长大，

母亲却在一天天衰老。当儿女望见高堂之上的白发亲娘，他们都会投入母亲怀抱，热泪涟涟！

母爱也是文学和音乐的永恒主题。文人以母爱为题，写出的文章便滋润蕴籍；

乐师以母爱为题，弹奏的曲调便清柔幽美，余韵绵绵。

（删改了下，希望不要说我剽窃.....希望楼主满意）
