英语名篇名段背诵精华01 Life is a chess-board
The chess-board is the world:the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.
By Thomas Henry Huxley
参考译文
棋盘宛如世界：一个个棋子仿佛世间的种种现象：游戏规则就是我们所称的自然法则。竞争对手藏于暗处，不为我们所见。我们知晓，这位对手向来处事公平，正义凛然，极富耐心。然而，我们也明白，这位对手从不忽视任何错误，或者因为我们的无知而做出一丝让步，所以我们也必须为此付出代价。
英语名篇名段背诵精华02 Best of times
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch o f incredulity; it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all
going direct the other way.
Excerpt from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
参考译文
这是一个最好的时代，也是一个最坏的时代；这是明智的年代，这是愚昧的年代；这是信任的纪元，这是怀疑的纪元；这是光明的季节，这是黑暗的季节；这是希望的春日，这是失望的冬日；我们面前应有尽有，我们面前一无所有；我们都将直下地狱……
英语名篇名段背诵精华03 Equality and greatness
Equality and Greatness
Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the dis tinction of merit. Money is nothing;character,conduct,and capacity are everythi ng.Instead of all the workers being leveled down to low wage standards and all the rich leveled up to fashionbale income standards,everybody under a sys tem of equal incomes would find his or her own natural level.There would be great people and ordinary people and little peolpe,but the great would alwa ys be those who had done great things,and never the idiot whose mother ha d spoiled them and whose father had left a hunred thousand a year;and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters,and not poor per
sons who had never had a chance.That is why idiots are always in favour of i nequality of income(their only chance of eminence),and the really great in fav our of equality.
收入相当的人除了品性迥异以外没有社会差别。金钱不能说明什么；性格，行为，能力才代表一切。在收入平等制度下，每个人将会找到他或她正常的地位，而不是所有的工人被划到应拿低工资阶层，所有的富人被划到应得高收入的阶层。人有卓著伟人，平庸之辈和碌碌小人之别，然伟人总是那些有所建树之人，而非从小深受母亲溺爱，父亲每年留下一大笔钱之人；碌碌小人总是那些心胸狭窄，品德卑劣之人，而不是那些从未获取机会的穷人。愚蠢之众总是赞成收入不平等（他们职能凭借这种机会才能为人所知），而真正伟大之人则主张平等相待，原因就在于此。
04 Great expectation
Great Expectations
As the night was fast falling,and as the moon,being past the full,would not rise early,we held a little council:a short one,for clearly our course was to lie by at the first lonely tavern we could find.So,they plied their oars once more,and I looked out for anything like a house.Thus we held on,speaking little,for four or five dull miles.It was very cold,and,a collier coming by us,with her gallery-fire smoking and flaring,looked like a comfortable home.The night was as dark by this time as it would be until morning;and what light we had,seemed to come more from the river
than the sky,as the oars in their dipping stuck at a few reflected stars.
天黑得很快，偏巧这天又是下弦月，月亮不会很早升起。我们就稍稍商量了一下，可是也用不着多讨论，因为情况是明摆着的，再划下去我们一遇到冷落的酒店就得投宿。于是他们又使劲打起浆来，我则用心寻找岸上是否隐隐约约有什么房屋的模样。这样又赶了四五英里路，一路上好不气闷，大家简直不说一句话。天气非常冷，一艘煤船从我们近旁驶过，船上厨房里生着火，炊烟缕缕，火光荧荧，在我们看来简直就是个安乐家了。这时夜已透黑，看来就要这样一直黑到天明，我们仅有的一点光亮似乎不是来自天空，而是来自河上，一浆又一浆的，搅动着那寥寥几颗倒映在水里的寒星。
05 The doer of deeds
The doer of Deeds
It is not the critic who counts,not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arens,whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;who stives valiantly;who errs,and comes short again and again;because there is not effort without error and shortcoming;but who does actually strive to do the deeds;who knows the great enthusiasms,the great devotions;who spends himself in a worthy cause,who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement and who at the worst,if he fails,at least fails
whiledaring greatly,so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
真正令人尊敬的并非那些评论家和那些指出强者是如何跌倒，实干家本该做得更好的人。
荣誉属于那些亲临竞技场，满脸污泥，汗水和鲜血的人。他们不懈努力，他们曾犯过过错，并一再失败。因为付出即意味着犯错和失败。他们满怀激情地努力做事，执着不懈，将生命奉献于崇高的事业。他们为经过艰辛努力最终取得的伟大成就而自豪，如果失败，他们夜败的荣耀。因而，这样的人永远不应与那些不知道胜利，也从未失败过的冷淡而胆怯的灵魂相提并论。
英语名篇名段背诵精华06 American dream
American dream
To Americans, industriousness, thrift and ambition are possitive values. We en courage our children to be competitive, to get ahead, to make money, to ac quire possassion. In games and in business alike, the aim is to win the game, the trorphy, the contract. We go in for laboursaving devices, gadgets, speed and shortcuts. We think every young couple should set up a home of their own. And we pity the couple who must share their home with their parent, l et alone with other relatives. Actually, of course, not all Americans hold all th ese values. And those who do may hold other, and at times controdictary val
ues that affect their ways of behaving. In the main, however,the collective ex pectation of our society is that these are desirable goals, and the individual, whatever his personal inclination, is under considerable pressure to conform. 参考译文：美国梦
对于我们美国人，勤劳、节俭和志气都是积极的价值观。我们鼓励孩子们进取、成功、赚钱、富有。在竞赛和商业活动中也是一样，我们追求的是赢取比赛、获得奖杯、拿到合同。我们致力于节省劳力的工具、速度和捷径。我们提倡所有的小两口都能靠自己的双手构建家园。我们为那些必须依靠父母或亲戚生活的夫妇感到遗憾！其实，并不是所有的美国人都拥有这样的价值观，甚至有些人或许会拥有相反的价值观，这样的价值观会影响他们的行为。不过，我们的社会的主流意识/期望还是这种积极的目标，不论个人的倾好如何，他的行为也是被规范在一定的范围之内的。感谢忙--心亡为忙网友，指出错误
英语名篇名段背诵精华07 Shakespeare
Shakespeare is above all writers, at least above all modern writers, the poet of nature; the poet that holds up to his readers a faithful mirror of manners and of life. His characters are not modified by the customs of particular places, unpractised by the rest of the world; by the peculiarities of studies or professions, which can operate but upon small numbers; or by the accidents of transient fashions or temporary opinions: they are the genuine progeny of common humanity, such as the world will always supply, and observation will always find. His persons act and
英语背诵名篇22 The use of history Source: 2009-05-11 我要投稿恒星英语学习论坛Favorite The Use of History There are two ways of thinking of history. There is, first, history regarded as a way of looking at other things, really the temporal aspect of anything, from the universe to this nib with which I am writing. Everything has its history. There is the history of the universe, if only we knew it－and we know something of it, if we do not know much. Nor is the contrast so great, when you come to think of it, between the universe and this pen-nib. A mere pen-nib has quite a considerable history. There is, to begin with, what has been written with it, and that might be something quite important. After all it was probably only one quill-pen or a couple that wrote Hamlet. Whatever has been written with the pen-nib is part of its history. In addition to that there is the history of its manufacture: this particular nib is a 'Relief' nib, No. 314, made by R. Esterbrook and Co. in England, who supply the Midland Bank with pen-nibs, from whom I got it—a gift, I may say, but behind this nib there is the whole process of manufacture. In fact a pen nib implies of universe, and the history of it implies its history. We may regard this way of looking at it—history as the time-aspect of all things: a pen-nib, the universe, the fiddled before me as I write, as a relative conception of history. There is, secondly, what we mat call a substantive conception of history, what we usually mean by it, history proper as a subject of study in itself. Excerpt from The Use of History by A.L.Rowse
三级背诵 1．My Views on Examinations In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous. To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively. In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations? 2．Jobs for Graduates (1) Job hunting has always been a headache for college graduates. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation. The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country. I think the problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. Second, students' attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go to some small cities and country. There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention, the problem can be solved. 3．Internet Owing to the speedy economic development, the number of the people who use Internet has considerably increased. It is universally acknowledged that Internet play a crucial role in modern society. Due attention has to be paid to the issue of Internet. With the reform and opening-up in recent decades, people in mounting numbers have come to realize the significance of Internet. Unfortunately, if we let this situation continue as it is, we do not know where humans will be in the forthcoming future. Accordingly, it is imperative for us to take drastic measures. To begin with, we should cultivate the authorities to make strict laws to control Internet. In addition, we

上外进修生活的回顾与体会 一、主要课程回顾： 1.精读课 上外的精读课的上课方式与我们学校的大致相同。期中前后各上4篇课文，以解释单词词组用法为主。不同的是老师比较注重我们同学对文章大意的把握与段落大意的把握。每次开始一篇课文老师都会先请同学概括文章大意，然后对文章进行分层，在细读段落时再请同学概括段落大意，且下一节课进行新内容前会再进行回顾。这一点一方面有助于我们同学理解课文，提高阅读能力；另一方面有利于提高口语表达能力与语言组织能力。 此外，每堂课上老师都会花费较长的时间就一个问题与同学们展开讨论，同学们通常都是坐在座位上各抒己见，整个课堂就像一个讨论小组。这里要指出的是上外的小教室大都把桌椅摆放成U字型，老师站在教室中间，与每个同学几乎保持相同的距离，可以进行面对面的交流。这种布置方式，个人觉得在很大程度上促进了互动。 精读老师爱好看书，所以为了引导我们多看课外读物，她都会针对课文的相关作家推荐一些书籍并带自己的书拿到课堂上传阅。这是我个人比较受用的方式。课上的阅读总是有限的，有的时候想在课外找一些外文书看，又有些漫无目的。老师的推荐就是为我们打开了一扇窗，让我们可以根据自己的兴趣选择走向更广阔的世界。 上外的精读考试考察课内的内容较多，除了paraphrase跟词性转换，它还考察对文章的理解，篇章翻译，单选题也主要考察课内的单词与搭配。所以，这就要求我们必须熟悉课文，吃透课文。而对课文进行这样的层层消化后，似乎也更容易将其内化成自己的东西，比如写作时候就会自然而然地运用文中的搭配，学着去模仿相应的句型。而我们学校的考试以课外的为主，这往往使我们只把精读课文当成学习固定搭配的工具而忽视文章的谋篇布局，行文方式以及对某一问题的思考角度这些更值得推敲与学习的东西。 2.写作课 作为高级写作课，老师不再根据体材强调布局上的规范化，而是更重视我们对某一问题的思考与探究，所以老师每周都会发一份阅读材料要求我们做课前阅读，然后在写作课上就这一话题进行讨论，最后将自己的想法用文字表达出来。阅读材料都是原版英语，有来自The Economist，Times，China Daily的时政评论，也有艾默生，梭罗等名家的作品，阅读

11．Frankness You must study to be frank with the world: frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do, on every occasion. If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You would wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind. Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one. The man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased at a sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with all your classmates. You will find it the policy which wears best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not. If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain. There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to do one thing before a man's face and another behind his

Then we lay down and bathed in the sun or played games until it was time to go home. We all enjoyed a pleasant time at the seaside.
英语名篇名段背诵精华28 The Americans The Americans Americans are a peculiar people. They work like mad, then give away much of what they earn. They play until they are exhausted, and call this a vacation. They live to think of themselves as tough-minded business men, yet they are push-overs for any hard luck story. They have the biggest of nearly everything including government, motor cars and debts, yet they are afraid of bigness. They are always trying to chip away at big government, big business, big unions, big influence. They like to think of themselves as little people, average men, and they would like to cut everything down to their own size. Yet they boast of their tall buildings, high mountains, long rivers, big state, the best country, the best world, the best heaven. They also have the most traffic deaths, the most waste, the most racketeering. When they meet, they are always telling each other, "Take it easy," then they rush off like crazy in opposite directions. They play games as if they were fighting a war, and fight wars as if playing a game. They marry more, go broke more often, and make more money than any other people. They love children, animals, gadgets, mother, work, excitement, noise, nature, television shows, comedy, installment buying, fast motion, spectator sports, the underdog, the flag, Christmas, jazz, shapely women and muscular men, classical recordings, crowds, comics, cigarettes, warm houses in winter and cool ones in summer, thick beefsteaks, coffee, ice cream, informal dress, plenty of running water, do-it-yourself, and a working week trimmed to forty hours or less. They crowd their highways with cars while complaining about the traffic, flock to movies and television while griping about the quality and the commercials, go to church but don‘t care much for sermons, and drink too much in the hope of relaxing － only to find themselves stimulated to even bigger dreams. There is of course, no typical American.
