英語美文摘抄（一）
When Love Beckons You
When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
But if, in your fear, you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
愛召喚
當(dāng)愛召喚你時，請追隨她，盡管愛道路艱難險峻。當(dāng)愛羽翼擁抱你時，請順從她，盡管隱藏在其羽翼之下劍可能會傷到你。當(dāng)愛向你訴說時，請相信她，盡管她聲音可能打破你夢想，就如同北風(fēng)吹落花園里所有花瓣。
愛會給你戴上桂冠，也會折磨你。愛會助你成長，也會給你修枝。愛會上升到枝頭，撫愛你在陽光下顫動力嫩枝，也會下潛至根部，撼動力你緊抓泥土根基。
但是，如果你在恐懼之中只想尋求愛平和與快樂，那你就最好掩蓋真實自我，避開愛考驗，進(jìn)入不分季節(jié)世界，在那里你將歡笑，但并非開懷大笑，你將哭泣，但并非盡情地哭。愛只將自己付出，也只得到自己。愛一無所有，也不會為誰所有，因為愛本身就已自足。
愛除實現(xiàn)自我別無他求。但是如果你愛而又不得不有所求，那就請期望：
將自己融化并像奔流溪水一般向夜晚吟唱自己優(yōu)美曲調(diào)。
明過多溫柔所帶來苦痛。
被自己對愛理解所傷害；
并情愿快樂地悲傷。
在黎明帶著輕快心醒來并感謝又一個有家日子；
在黃昏懷著感恩之心回家；
然后為內(nèi)心所愛之人祈禱，吟唱贊美之歌，并帶著禱告和歌聲入眠。
英語美文摘抄（二）
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.
“快樂日子使人睿智。”
——約翰·梅斯菲爾德
第一次讀到英國桂冠詩人梅斯菲爾德這行詩時，我感到十分震驚。他想表達(dá)什么意思？我以前從未對此仔細(xì)考慮，總是認(rèn)定這行詩反過來才正確。但他冷靜而又胸有成竹表達(dá)引起我注意，令我無法忘懷。
終于，我似乎領(lǐng)會他意思，并意識到這行詩意義深遠(yuǎn)。快樂帶來睿智存在于敏銳洞察力之間，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。
積極快樂 – 并非單純滿意或知足 – 通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起春雨，或是花蕾突然綻放。然后，你就會發(fā)覺與快樂結(jié)伴而來究竟是何種智慧。草地更為青翠，鳥吟更為甜美，朋友缺點也變得更能讓人理解，寬容。快樂就像是一副眼鏡，可以矯正你精神視力。
快樂視野并不僅限于你周圍事物。當(dāng)你不快樂時，你思維陷入情感上悲哀，你眼界就像是被一道墻給阻隔，而當(dāng)你快樂時，這道墻就會砰然倒塌。
你眼界變得更為寬廣。你腳下大地，你身邊世界，包括人，思想，情感和壓力，現(xiàn)在都融入更為廣闊景象之中，其間每件事物 比例都更加合理。而這就是睿智起始。
英語美文摘抄（三）
The Goodness of Life
Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed.
For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, kindness and compassion.
For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.
There is goodness to life that cannot be denied.
In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details, look closely, for that goodness always comes shining through.
There si no limit to the goodness of life. It grows more abundant with each new encounter. The more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.
Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be cov ered in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives on. Open your eyes, open your heart, and you will see that goodness is everywhere.
Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks, it always endures. For in the darkest moment it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure.
And so the goodness of life is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.
Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life was really only a moment away.
Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and delight you.
Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts. Then, share your good fortune with another.
For the goodness of life grows more and more magnificent each time it is given away.
Though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage ever stronger, the goodness of life grows stronger still, quietly, peacefully, with more purpose and meaning than ever before.
生命美好
盡管有很多事讓人憂慮，但相比而言，值得感激事要多得多。盡管生命美好有時被蒙上陰影，但它卻永遠(yuǎn)不會被埋沒。
相對于每一個無謂破壞行為而言，都有更多數(shù)以千計更為微小，包含著愛，友善和同情舉動靜靜地上演著。相對于每一個試圖傷害他人人而言，都有更多人致力于幫助他人，治愈他人創(chuàng)傷。
生命美好不能否認(rèn)。
在最為壯觀前景和最為瑣碎細(xì)節(jié)中，()請仔細(xì)觀察，因為美好事物總是散發(fā)著耀眼光芒閃亮登場。
生命美好沒有界限。每一次相遇都會使這美好變得越發(fā)豐富。你經(jīng)歷得越多，越能欣賞生命美好，生命中美好就會變得越多。
即使當(dāng)寒風(fēng)襲來，整個世界似乎被霧氣掩蓋之時，生命美好仍會存在。睜開雙眼，打開心扉，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)這美好無處不在。
盡管生命美好有時似乎遭受挫折，但它總會挺過來。因為，在最黑暗時刻，有一點變得格外清楚，那就是，生命是無價財富。因此，下正是與生命美好相對立事物使其越發(fā)強(qiáng)大。
無數(shù)次地，當(dāng)你擔(dān)心這美好已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)離之時，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)生命美好其實只與你相隔須臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每個時刻之間，等著給你驚喜。
花些時間讓生命美好感動自己靈魂，放松自己思緒。然后，把你幸運與他人分享。因為生命美好會在每次給予之間變得越來越壯觀。
盡管總是有問題讓你去關(guān)注，沖突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命美好卻總是靜靜地，平和地，帶著比以往更強(qiáng)意志和更多價值變得更加強(qiáng)大。
