英语朗诵短文1-3分钟篇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.
译文：
快乐
快乐的日子使人睿智。
--- 约翰梅斯菲尔德
第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲尔德的这行诗时，我感到十分震惊。他想表达什么意思?我以前从未对此仔细考虑，总是认定这行诗反过
来才正确。但他冷静而又胸有成竹的表达引起了我的注意，令我无
法忘怀。
终于，我似乎领会了他的意思，并意识到这行诗意义深远。快乐带
来的睿智存在于敏锐的洞察力之间，不会因忧虑而含混迷惑，也不
会因绝望和厌倦而黯然模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。
积极的快乐并非单纯的满意或知足通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然绽放。然后，你就会发觉与快乐结伴
而来的究竟是何种智慧。草地更为青翠，鸟吟更为甜美，朋友的缺
点也变得更能让人理解，宽容。快乐就像是一副眼镜，可以矫正你
的精神视力。
快乐的视野并不仅限于你周围的事物。当你不快乐时，你的思维陷
入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就像是被一道墙给阻隔了，而当你快乐时，这道墙就会砰然倒塌。
你的眼界变得更为宽广。你脚下的大地，你身边的世界，包括人，
思想，情感和压力，现在都融入了更为广阔的景象之中，其间每件
事物的比例都更加合理。而这就是睿智的起始。
英语朗诵短文1-3分钟篇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.
译文：
直面内在的敌人
我们的勇气并不是与生俱来的，我们的恐惧也不是。也许有些恐惧
来自你的亲身经历，别人告诉你的故事，或你在报纸上读到的东西。有些恐惧可以理解，例如在凌晨两点独自走在城里不安全的地段。
但是一旦你学会避免那种情况，你就不必生活在恐惧之中。
恐惧，哪怕是最基本的恐惧，也可能彻底粉碎我们的抱负。恐惧可
能摧毁财富，也可能摧毁一段感情。如果不加以控制，恐惧还可能
摧毁我们的生活。恐惧是潜伏于我们内心的众多敌人之一。
让我来告诉你我们面临的其他五个内在敌人。第一个你要在它袭击
你之前将其击败的敌人是冷漠。打着哈欠说：随它去吧，我就随波
逐流吧。
这是多么可悲的疾病啊!随波逐流的问题是：你不可能漂流到山顶去。我们面临的第二个敌人是优柔寡断。它是窃取机会和事业的贼，它
还会偷去你实现更美好未来的机会。向这个敌人出剑吧!
第三个内在的敌人是怀疑。当然，正常的怀疑还是有一席之地的，
你不能相信一切。但是你也不能让怀疑掌管一切。许多人怀疑过去，怀疑未来，怀疑彼此，怀疑政府，怀疑可能性，并怀疑机会。最糟
糕的是，他们怀疑自己。我告诉你，怀疑会毁掉你的生活和你成功
的机会，它会耗尽你的存款，留给你干涸的心灵。怀疑是敌人，追
赶它，消灭它。
第四个内在的敌人是担忧。我们都会有些担忧，不过千万不要让担
忧征服你。相反，让它来警醒你。担忧也许能派上用场。当你在纽
约走上人行道时有一辆出租车向你驶来，你就得担忧。但你不能让
担忧像疯狗一样失控，将你逼至死角。你应该这样对付自己的担忧：把担忧驱至死角。不管是什么来打击你，你都要打击它。不管什么
攻击你，你都要反击。
第五个内在的敌人是过分谨慎。那是胆小的生活方式。胆怯不是美德，而是一种疾病。如果你不理会它，它就会将你征服。胆怯的人
不会得到提拔，他们在市场中不会前进，不会成长，不会变得强大。你要避免过分谨慎。
一定要向这引起敌人开战。一定要向恐惧开战。鼓起勇气抗击阻挡
你的事物，与阻止你实现目标和梦想的事物作斗争。要勇敢地生活，勇敢地追求你想要的事物并勇敢地成为你想成为的人。
英语朗诵短文1-3分钟篇3：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 e
xperience 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.
译文：
生命的美好
尽管有很多事让人忧虑，但相比而言，值得感激的事要多得多。尽
管生命的美好有时被蒙上阴影，但它却永远不会被埋没。
相对于每一个无谓的破坏行为而言，都有更多数以千计更为微小的，包含着爱，友善和同情的举动静静地上演着。相对于每一个试图伤
害他人的人而言，都有更多的人致力于帮助他人，治愈他人的创伤。生命的美好不能否认。
在最为壮观的前景和最为琐碎的细节中，请仔细观察，因为美好的
事物总是散发着耀眼的光芒闪亮登场。
生命的美好没有界限。每一次相遇都会使这美好变得越发丰富。你
经历得越多，越能欣赏生命的美好，生命中的美好就会变得越多。
即使当寒风袭来，整个世界似乎被雾气掩盖之时，生命的美好仍会
存在。睁开双眼，打开心扉，你就会发现这美好无处不在。
尽管生命的美好有时似乎遭受挫折，但它总会挺过来。因为，在最
黑暗的时刻，有一点变得格外清楚，那就是，生命是无价的财富。
因此，下正是与生命的美好相对立的事物使其越发强大。
无数次地，当你担心这美好已经远离之时，你会发现生命的美好其
实只与你相隔须臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每个时刻之间，等着
给你惊喜。
花些时间让生命的美好感动自己的灵魂，放松自己的思绪。然后，
把你的幸运与他人分享。因为生命的美好会在每次给予之间变得越
来越壮观。
尽管总是有问题让你去关注，冲突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命的美好
却总是静静地，平和地，带着比以往更强的意志和更多的价值变得
更加强大。
英语朗诵短文1-3分钟篇4：clear your mental space think about the last time you felt a negative emotion---like stress, anger, or frustration. what was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? was your mind cluttered with thoughts? or was it paralyzed, unable to think?
the next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. yes, that s right, stop. whatever you re doing, stop and sit for one minute. while you re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.
allow that emotion to consume you. allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. don t cheat yourself here. take the entire minute---but only one minute---to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
when the minute is over, ask yourself, am i wiling to keep holding on to this negative emotion as i go through the rest of the day?
once you ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really fell it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.
if you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is ok. allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion. when you feel you ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. if not, take a deep breath. as you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
this exercise seems simple---almost too simple. but, it is very effective. by allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. you are actually taking away
the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. when you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. you can clear your head and proceed with your task.
try it. next time you re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens. keep a piece of paper with you that says the following:
stop. immerse for one minute. do i want to keep this negativity? breath deep, exhale, release. move on!
this will remind you of the steps to the process. remember;
take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion. then, when you feel you ve felt it enough, release it---really let go of it. you will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!
译文：
清理心灵的空间
想下你最近一次感受到的消极情绪，例如压力，愤怒或挫折。当你
处于那种消极情绪时你在想些什么?是充满了混乱的思绪?还是陷于
麻木，无法思考?
下次当你发现自己处于非常紧张的状态时，或是你感到气愤或受挫时，停下来。是的，对，停下来。不管你在做什么，停下来坐上一
分钟。坐着的时候，让自己完全沉浸在那种消极情绪之中。
让那种消极情绪吞噬你，给自己一分钟的时间去真切地体会那种情绪，不要欺骗自己。花整整一分钟的时间但只有一分钟去体会那种
情绪，别的什么也不要做。
当一分钟结束时，问自己：我是否想在今天余下的时间里继续保持
这种消极情绪?
一旦你允许自己完全沉浸在那种情绪当中并真切体会到它，你就会
惊奇地发现那种情绪很快就消失了。
如果你觉得还需要点时间来保持那种情绪，没关系，再给自己一分
钟的时间去体会它。
如果你觉得自己已经充分体会了那种情绪，那就问自己是否愿意在
今天余下的时间里继续保持这种消极情绪。如果不愿意，那就深呼吸。呼气的时候，把所有的消极情绪都释放出去。
这个方法似乎很简单几乎是太过简单了，但却非常有效。通过给自
己空间真正体会消极情绪，你是在处理这种情绪，而不是将其压制
下去然后尽量不加理会。通过给予消极情绪所需的空间和关注，你
实际上是在消解其力量。当你沉浸在那种情绪之中，并且明白它只
是一种情绪时，你就摆脱了它的控制。你可以清理头脑并继续做事。你下次笼罩消极情绪时，试一下这种做法，给自己一点空间来体会
那种情绪并看看会发生什么。随身带一张写着如下字句的纸条：
停下来。沉浸一分钟。我想保持这种消极情绪吗?深吸气，呼气，放松。继续做事!
这会提醒你该怎样去做。记住，要花你所需要的时间去真正沉浸于
那种情绪之中。然后，当你感到自己已经充分体会到了它。你会惊
奇地发现，你很快就能摆脱消极情绪，并开始做你真正想做的事情!
英语朗诵短文1-3分钟相关文章：
take mary who doesn t like herself. she s always telling you,
you are prettier than me. you are smarter. nobody likes me.
she s hoping that you will reply, no mary! you are clever. you are beautiful. after a while, people like mary get on your nerves! in a nutshell
when we don t like ourselves, we irritate other people. we also put ourselves through a lot of stress. when we accept
ourselves a little better, we don t play these games.
how can i like myself？
in our hearts, most of us believe we should be doing better. we think that we should have gotten higher grades. we want to be popular and hang out with the in crowd. we feel we don t measure up to our parents expectations. our parents help to confirm this idea when they ask, why can t you be more like your brother?
whenever you are feeling low, be your own best friend. accept that, up to now, you have lived your life the best way you know how. no one sets out to screw up their life! like anyone, you ve done the odd stupid thing. with more information you ll likely
do better in the future.
liking yourself means forgiving yourself. if you have made
some serious mistakes, if you have hurt some people and yourself feeling guilty won t help.
if you are feeling guilty about something, you have already suffered enough. being guilty for another six months won t
help anybody.
forget perfection and aim for improvement.
it s a funny thing. when you forgive yourself for your own mistakes, you automatically begin to let others off the hook for the same things.
but i m not brilliant...
you might look at yourself and say, i m not as beautiful as my sister, i m not as talented as my friends and i m not brilliant at anything! how can i feel good about me?
fact: nobody is good at everything and most of us have those thoughts!
but here s the lowdown! talent and beauty are very useful but there are plenty of talented and beautiful people around whom we don t necessarily admire. and some of them are a pan in the butt!
the qualities most of us value above all others are honesty, courage, persistence, generosity and humility. take a look at
this list and you ll find something interesting. you aren t born with these things. you develop them. anyone can have them! if you want self-respect, and respect from others, you don t have to be an einstein or a super-model.
you simply work at developing your own honesty, determination, generosity, humility and courage. it is called character .
in a nutshell
how you feel about yourself is in your hands.
非得喜欢自己吗?
确实如此!不喜欢自己的人很讨厌!
通常，自我感觉不好的人会采用两种策略，要么老是挑剔别人，要
么总是挑剔自己。
策略一：老是挑剔别人。他们以为挑别人的错就能自我感觉良好。
比如说弗雷德吧，他就觉得自己不如别人。弗雷德感到自己长了一
个大鼻子、两只猪眼睛，还暗自感觉脑子有点笨。
那他想感觉好一点怎么办呢?于是就挑所有朋友的毛病，给他们起一
些怪名字，什么平头啊，鸡腿啊，狗脑啊等等。每当有人犯错误，他就对全班同学宣布。
(他很可能压根儿就没意识到在批评别人，或者为什么要这么做。)
如果你父母、朋友或兄弟姊妹不喜欢自己，他们可能挑剔你和身边
的每一个人。请记住，他们挑剔你是因为他们有问题。其实他们内
心有伤痛，记住这一点，你就不会对他们的行为感到特别心烦了。
策略二：有些不喜欢自己的人老说自己不好。他们的心理正好相反。拿玛丽来说吧，她就不喜欢自己。她总对别人说，你比我漂亮。你
比我聪明。谁都不喜欢我。
她心里其实希望对方这样回答，不对，玛丽!你很聪明，很漂亮。
不用多久，玛丽这种人就会令人生厌。
简言之
不喜欢自己，就会去烦别人。同时自身也会承受很大的压力。对自
己好一点，就不会去玩那些烦人的把戏了。
怎样才能喜欢自己?
内心里，大多数人都认为自己应该比现在强。我们认为考试分数应
该再高一些。我们想受人欢迎，跟那些时髦的人在一起。我们感到
达不到父母的期望。父母也证实了这一点。他们会问，你就不能向
你哥哥多学一点?
无论何时你感觉不良，你要做自己最亲密的朋友。要承认到目前为止，你是在以你所知的最佳方式生活。谁都不会成心破坏自己的生活。你跟别人一样做了些奇怪而愚蠢的事。你如果知道得多一些，
将来就会做得好一些。
喜欢自己意味着原谅自己。如果你犯了严重的错误，如果你伤害了
别人，伤害了自己，内疚是不管用的。
如果你为某事感到内疚，你已经受到了足够的折磨。再内疚半年，
对人对己都无济于事。
忘记完善，立志改善
这是很有趣的一件事。一旦你原谅自己的过错，就会自动不再追究
别人同样的错误。
但是我不很出色
你也许会将自己审视一番，说，我没姐姐那么漂亮，也没朋友那么
聪明，我哪方面都不出色!叫我怎么感觉良好?
事实是：没有谁是万能的，而且大多数人都有你这种想法。
不过真相是这样的!才智和美貌很有用，但是聪明漂亮的人我们并不
一定就羡慕，这样的人在我们周围大有人在。再说有些人不过是徒
有虚名而已!
大多数人最看重的品质是诚实、勇敢、顽强、慷慨和谦逊。只要看
看这一串词语，就能发现一件有趣的事。这些品质不是与生俱来的，是后天培养的。人人都能拥有!想自重并受人尊重，不一定非得是爱
因斯坦或超级名模。
你只需努力培养自己的诚实、坚毅、慷慨、谦逊和勇敢就行了。这就叫品格。
简言之
自我感觉如何全看你如何把握。

永远的情人节Forever Valentine 他最后一次送给我的这张贺卡如今仍保存在我的记事牌上。它提醒我父亲是多么地不同寻常，以及这些年来对我是多么地重要，我知道我有这样一位父亲，他以慷慨的胸怀、朴素的理解和一生中向他的亲人表达祝福的能力，来保持着爱的传统。 The traditional holidays in our house when I was a child were spent timing elaborate meals around football games. My father tried to make pleasant chitchat and eat as much as he could during halftime. At Christmas he found time to have a cup or two of holiday cheer and do his holly-shaped bow tie. But he didn't truly shine until Valentine's Day. I don't know whether it was because work at the office slowed during February or because the football season was over. But Valentine's Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly thought of him as my " Valentine Man." My first recollection of the magic he could bring to Valentine's Day came when I was six. For several days I had been cutting out valentines for my classmates. Each of us was to decorate a "mailbox " and put it on our desk for others to give us cards. That box and its contents ushered in a succession of bittersweet memories of my entrance into a world of popularity contests marked by the number of cards received, the teasing about boyfriends/girlfriends and the tender care I gave to the card from the cutest boy in class. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was signed "Love, Dad", and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to represent my birthstone, a ruby. There is little difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember wearing that ring with a pride that all the cards in the world could not surpass. As I grew older, the gifts gave way to heart-shaped boxes filled with my favorite chocolates and always included a special card signed "Love, Dad" .In those years my "thank-yous" became more of a perfunctory response. The cards seemed less important, and I took for granted the valentine that would always be there. Long past the days of having a "mailbox" on my desk, I had placed my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from " significant others", and " Love, Dad" just didn't seem quite enough. If my father knew then that he had been replaced, he never let it show. If he sensed any disappointment over valentines that didn't arrive for me, he just tried that much harder to create a positive atmosphere, giving me an extra hug and doing what he could to make my day a little brighter. My mailbox eventually had a rural address, and the job of hand-delivering candy and cards was relegated to the U.S. Postal Service. Never in ten years was my father's package late--nor was it on the Valentine's Day eight years ago when I reached into the mailbox to find a card addressed to me in my mother's handwriting. It was the kind of card that comes in an inexpensive assortment box sold by a child going door-to-door to try to earn money for a school project. It was the kind of card that you used to get from a grandmother or an aging aunt or, in this case, a dying father. It was the kind of card that put a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes because you knew the person no longer was able to go out and buy a real valentine. It was a card that signaled this would be the last you receive from him. The card had a photograph of tulips on the outside, and on the inside my mother had printed "Happy V alentine's Day". Beneath it, scrawled in barely legible handwriting, was "Love, Dad". His final card remains on my bulletin board today. It's a reminder of how special fathers can
Grow Great by Dreams 因梦想而伟大 The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman, “How have you done so much in your lifetime?” 曾经有人问一个非常成功的商人：“你是怎样在有生之年取得这样的成就呢？” He replied, “I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I awoke in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams real. While other people were saying, 'You can't do that, it is impossible,' I was well o n my way to achieving what I wanted.” As Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S., said: “We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers.” 他回答：“我做梦。我放飞自己的思想，想象自己想要的东西。然后我就上床，沉思自己的梦想。那个晚上，我就可以梦到自己的梦想。当第二天早上醒来，我就看到了通向梦想的路。当别人对我说：…你做不到，这不可能?，而我总是坚持实现自己梦想的路。”正如美国第28届总统伍德鲁·威尔逊所说：“我们因为梦想而变得伟大。所有伟人都是梦想家。” They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter's evening. Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.

英语美文朗诵欣赏
美丽的微笑 A Smile is A Gift That Anyone Can Give It costs nothing, but saves much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash, and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich that he can get along without it; none so poor that he is not enriched by it. It creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sick, and nature's best antidote for trouble. It cannot be bought, borrowed, or stolen, for it is no earthly good to anyone until it is given away. If you meet someone too burdened with grief or worry to smile, just give him one of yours. For nobody needs a smile so much as he who has none left to give. 微笑不需要花费你一分钱，但却能带来很多。它使那些得到它的人富有，却不会使付出它的人贫穷。它发生在一瞬间，但它的记忆有时却是永恒的。如果人们可以没有微笑，那么，无论拥有什么都会觉得贫穷。如果人们无法因此而丰富，那么就没有什么比这更贫穷了。微笑为家庭到来欢笑，为工作增添善意，是友谊的象征。它是缓解疲劳的良药，是征服气馁的日光，是治疗疾病的阳光，是自然界中战胜困难的灵丹妙药。它不能买，不能借，也不能偷，因为在它被给予他人之前是毫无用处的。如果你遇见某人被悲伤和焦虑压得喘不过气来，只要给他一个微笑就行。因为当一个人无法再给予微笑的时候，他比任何时候都需要微笑！ 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. Youth means a temperamental predominance of 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. 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. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite for what's next in 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,

简单的英语朗诵短文三篇 整理了简单的英语朗诵短文，欢迎阅读! 【篇一】简单的英语朗诵短文 I recently started a new job, in a small office, where four of us share a fridge. In that fridge is a Brita water filter pitcher. One of my coworkers complained the water tasted “dirty”. It went on for a few days, and she was stunned I could drink the water without any trouble. I started to doubt my taste buds, but the water really tasted fine. 最近我找了份新工作，是在一间小办公室里，我们四个人共用一个冰箱。冰箱里有一个Brita牌滤水壶，有一个同事抱怨说水喝起来感觉很“脏”，她连续抱怨了几天，还很震惊我喝这样的水竟然没事。我开始怀疑自己的味蕾出问题了，但我真觉着水喝着还不错。 Finally, she figured out the problem was actually her cup. She simply forgot to clean it, and after awhile started to affect the water inside it. She cleaned her cup, and drank the water with no problem. 最后，她发现问题出在了她的杯子上，她只是忘了刷杯子，过一段时间就影响里面水的味道了。她把杯子洗干净了，水就没有异味了。 I can’t help but think about the world we live in. Too often we quickly blame other people, other things, anything else but ourselves. “You’re racist”. “You’re intolerant”. “You’re the problem”. The world isn’t perfect, I know, but I think we should take a step back sometimes and ask ourselves some tough questions. 我禁不住思考了我们生活的世界，我们总是急于责备其他人、其他事、除了自己之外的一切东西。“你有种族歧视”、“你太狭隘”、“是你的问题”，我知道世界并不完美，但我认为有时我们应该退一步，问自己几个很难回答的问题。 Can I be better? Is my heart really pure? Can I help this situation with kindness? 我能变得更好吗?我的心真的纯洁吗?我能带着善意解决问题吗? I want to tell you this; please clean your cup. Because when you do,

But in the modern society, some girls no longer accept what the old rules that made for them, they go to work and keep their economic independency. 在传统的观点,当女孩结婚后,她们应该辞掉工作、做一名家庭主妇,照料所有的家务。但在现代社会,一些女孩不再接受这些老规矩,她们出去工作,保持经济独立。For every girl, marrying a prince is their dream, which means they find the ideal partner, the one who is handsome and rich. Then in most peoples eyes, the girls no longer have to work and can stay at home and enjoy life. This sounds to be the perfect choice for a girl, while the fact is not. When a girl stucks in the house and is separated from the outside world, then there will be less common topic between her and her husband. 对于每一个女孩来说,嫁给一个王子是她们的梦想,这意味着她们找到了理想伴侣,英俊,有钱的人。在大多数人眼中,女孩们不再需要工作,可以呆在家里,享受生活。这听起来是完美的选择，对于一个女孩来说,然而事实并非如此。当一个女孩困在家里,与外界隔离,她和丈夫之间的共同话题会越来越少。As the saying that no money, no talk.

Passages for Reading 1. Smoking It is known to all that smoking is bad for health. Scientific research show that smoking can lead to heart disease, cancer and other problem. The World Health Organization says diseases linked to smoking kill at least two million five-hundred-thousand persons each year. Still, many people find it difficult to stop smoking. One reason is that smoking usually becomes a habitual behavior, and habits, whether good or bad are not easy to be given up. Another reason is the effect of nicotine, the substance found in cigarettes works on people somewhat as drugs do. Measures have been taken to help people keep away from the harm of smoking. In many cities, smoking is forbidden in public places. The danger of smoking is warned of everywhere. And newspapers are asked not to publish advertisements for cigarettes. World "No Tobacco Day" is observed every year as the biggest campaign against smoking. 2. My First Job Before I started at university, I took my first job as a waitress in a nice restaurant. At the night before my first day, I was too excited to go to sleep and as a result, I got up late in the morning. I threw on my clothes and rushed over to the restaurant. In a great hurry, I didn't hear clearly the head waiter's instruction that we should go into the kitchen through one door and out from the other. So when I took two plates of eggs and bacon and an orange juice out to the restaurant, I went straight towards the wrong door and collided with another waiter coming in! Worst of all was that I wore a pair of smart shoes but with high heels! A few hours later I was in agony yet had no time to change them. By the time we finished serving dinner at about 10:30 I was completely exhausted. Nevertheless, I learnt something through my experience. 3. Money Money is what everybody desires. It can be used to buy food, clothes, books, bicycle, furniture and many other things people need or want. Money is considered by many people as the most important thing in life. With money, they can go wherever they please and do whatever they want. With money, they can buy a fine house to live in, fashionable clothes to put on, and a nice bicycle to ride. And with money, they can employ attendants to serve them. In a word, money can make people comfortable and bring them happiness. However, money is also the source of all crimes and brings them misery. Since money is so tempting, quite a few people are attracted by it and begin to go astray. By hook or by crook, they try to make money. To get more money, they gamble, swindle, steal, rob or do many other evil things, for "money makes the mare go". As a result, money leads them to jail or even to the execution grounds. Of course money is useful and desirable, yet we should make money in proper way and spend
