我永远在你身边
No matter what happens, I ll always be there for you!
不管发生什么，我永远都会在你的身边!
In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. In the midst of utter devastation and chaos, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
1989年，一次8.2级的地震几乎铲平美国，在短短不到4分钟的时间里，夺去了3万多人的生命!在彻底的破坏与混乱之中，有位父亲将他的妻子在家里安顿好后，跑到他儿子就读的学校，而触目所见，却是被夷为平地的校园。
After the unforgettably initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: "No matter what, Ill always be there for
you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
看到这令人伤心的一幕，他想起了曾经对儿子所作的承诺："不论发生什么事，我都会在你身边。"至此，父亲热泪满眶。目睹曾经的学校成为了一堆瓦砾，真叫人绝望。但父亲的脑中仍然牢记着他对儿子的诺言。
He began to direct his attention towards where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his sons classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the ruins.
他开始努力回忆每天早上送儿子上学的必经之路，终于记起儿子的教室应该就在那幢建筑物后面，位于右边的角落里，他跑到那儿，开始在碎石砾中挖掘，搜寻儿子的下落。
As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, clutching their hearts, saying: "My son!" "My daughter!" Other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: "Its too late! Theyre all dead! You cant help! Go home! Come on, face reality, theres nothing you can do!"
当这位父亲正在挖掘时，其他束手无策的学生家长赶到现场，揪心地叫着："我的儿子呀!""我的女儿呀!"一些好意的家长试图把这位父亲劝离现场，告诉他"一切都太迟了!他们全死了!这样做没用的，回去吧，这样做只会使事情更糟"。
To each parent he responded with one line: "Are you going to help me now?" And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the schools ruins saying, "Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. Youre in danger. Well take care of it. Go home." To which this loving, caring American father asked, "Are you going to help me now?"
面对种种劝告，这位父亲的回答只有一句话："你们愿意帮我吗?"然后
继续进行挖掘工作，在废墟中寻找他的儿子。消防队长出现了，他也试图把这位父亲劝走，对他说："火灾频现，四处都在发生爆炸，你在这里太
危险了，这边的事我们会处理，你回家吧!"对此，这位慈爱、关切的父亲仍然回答："你们要帮我吗?"
The police came and said, "Youre angry, anxious and its over. Youre endangering others. Go home. Well handle it!" To which he replied, "Are you going to help me now?" No one helped.
警察赶到现场，对他说："你现在又气又急，该结束了，你在危及他人，回家吧!我们会处理一切的。"这位父亲依旧回答："你们愿意帮我吗?"然而，人们无动于衷。
Courageously he went on alone because he needed to know for himself: "Is my boy alive or is he dead?" He dug for eight hours (12)
hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his sons voice. He screamed his sons name,
"ARMAND!" He heard back, "Dad!?! Its me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, youd save me and when you saved me, theyd be saved. You promised, No matter what happens, Ill always be there for you! You did it, Dad!" "Whats going on in there? How is it?" the father asked.
为了弄清楚儿子是死是活，这位父亲独自一人鼓起勇气，继续进行他的工作。他挖掘了8小时，--12小时，24小时，36小时--38小时后，父亲推开了一块巨大的石头，听到了儿子的声音。父亲尖叫着："阿曼德!"儿子的回音听到了："爸爸吗?是我，爸爸，我告诉其他的小朋友不要着急。我告诉他们如果你活着，你会来救我的。如果我获救了，他们也就获救了。你答应过我，不论发生什么，我永远都会在你的身边，你做到了，爸爸!""你那里的情况怎样?"父亲问。
"There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. Were scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful youre here. When the building collapsed, it made a triangle, and it saved us."
"我们有33个，只有14个活着。爸爸，我们好害怕，又渴又饿，谢天谢地，你在这儿。教室倒塌时，刚好形成一个三角形的洞，救了我们。" "Come out, boy!"
"快出来吧!儿子!"
"No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, cause I know youll get me! No matter what happens, I know youll always be there for me!" "不，爸，让其他小朋友先出来吧!因为我知道你会接我的!不管发生什
么事，我知道你永远都会来到我的身边!
享受现在
Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out of the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园诗般的风光。我们仿佛身处一次横贯大陆的漫漫旅程之中。乘着火车，我们领略着窗外流动的景色：附近高速公路上奔驰的汽车、十字路口处招手的孩童、远山上吃草的牛群、源源不断地从电厂排放出的烟尘、一片片的玉米和小麦、平原与山谷、群山与绵延的丘陵、天空映衬下城市的轮廓，以及乡间的庄园宅第。
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
然而我们心里想得最多的却是最终的目的地。在某一天的某一时刻，我
们将会抵达进站!迎接我们的将是乐队和飘舞的彩旗!一旦到了那儿，多少美梦将成为现实，我们的生活也将变得完整，如同一块终于拼好了的拼图!现在我们在火车的过道里不耐烦地踱来踱去，咒骂火车的拖拖拉拉!我们期待着，期待着，期待着火车进站的那一刻!
"When we reach the station, that will be it!" we cry.
"当我们到站的时候，一切就都好了!"我们呼喊着!
"When Im 18."
"等我18岁的时候!"
"When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!"
"等我有了一辆新450SL奔驰的时候!"
"When I put the last kid through college."
"等我供最小的孩子念完大学的时候!"
"When I have paid off the mortgage!"
"等我偿清贷款的时候!"
"When I get a promotion."
"等我官升高任的时候!"
"When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!"
"等我到了退休的时候，就可以从此过上幸福的生活啦!"
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站，也没有能够"一到永逸"的地方!生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程，而车站不过是个梦，它始终遥遥领先于我们!
"Relish the moment "is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118：24: "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isnt the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
"享受现在"是句很好的箴言，尤其是当它与《圣经诗篇》中第118页24行的一段话相映衬的时候，更是如此："今日乃主所创造;生活在今日我们将欢欣、高兴!"真正让人发疯的不是今日的负担，而是对昨日的悔恨及对明日的恐惧!悔恨与恐惧是一对孪生窃贼，将今天从你我身边偷走!
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.
所以不要在过道里徘徊了吧，别老惦记着你离车站还有多远!何不换一种活法，多去爬爬山，多吃点儿冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴，经常光着脚板儿溜达溜达，去河流里游游泳，多看看夕阳西下，多点欢笑，少点泪水!生活得一边过一边瞧!车站就会很快到达。
永远守护着自己的天使
In fact, everyone has an angel protecting himself forever.
其实每个人都有一个永远守护着自己的天使
If this angel feels that your life is full of pain and you always feel excessively sad, She would turn into someone else beside you.如果这个天使觉得你的生活太过痛苦，你的心情太过悲伤，那么她就化身成你身边的某一个人。
Maybe its a friend of you, or your lover, or a net-friend you have never met,or a stranger you just met only once.
也许是你的朋友，也许是你的爱人，也许是你未曾见过的网友，也或许是你仅仅见过一面的陌生人。
These persons quietly appear in your life, accompany you with a happy time and then he could leave silently. And thus your life is full of happy memories. Even the future path is covered with storm or snow, once reminiscing those happy stories he brought to you , you can still be brave.
这些人静静的出现在你的生命里，陪你度过一段快乐的时光，然后他再不动声色的离开。于是你的人生就有了幸福的回忆，即使你以后的道路上布满了风雪，一想起曾经他给你的幸福故事，你就可以依然勇敢。
For those who have left you without any word, actually theyre angels returning to the heaven. For example, your lost friends ,the strangers who ever gave you help, those seperated but used to love you, those artists who used to sing good songs to you, the good writer,and etc.., they are all kind-hearted angels.
所以那些默默离开你的人，其实都是天使回归了天国，比如那些离开的朋友，那些曾经给过你帮助的陌生人，那些曾经爱过但最后分开的人，曾经给你唱过很好听的歌曲的艺人、写过一本好书的作家，他们都是善良的天使。
Perhaps sometimes you would feel sad or lost because of their disappearance, and would seek them everywhere to find out where theyre going, which nation theyve arrived. But in the end, youll be convinced that they stay in a certain nook of this world with a tranquil and gratified life. Finallly, all the feelings of loss or sadness will no longer exist since time has been the greatest therapist.
也许你有段时间会对于他们的消失感到伤心或失落，会四处寻找想知道他们去了哪里，到了什么国度，可是到最后，你都会相信，他们在这个世界的某一个角落，安静而满足的生活着，于是曾经的那些失落和伤心都将不复存在。时间是最伟大的治愈师。

不管欢乐重现脸颊或者， 悲伤的海洋漫溢， 那只是一场游戏，一场梦幻。 a play- we each have a part each one to weep or laugh as may; each one his dress to don- alternate shine or rain. 我们都是戏中的角色， 人人都尽情地欢笑啼哭， 每个人都轮换穿着， 晴日或雨天的衣裳. thou dream, o blessed dream! spread far and near thy veil of haze, tone down the lines so sharp, make smooth what roughness seems. 你的梦，受祝福的梦， 到处掩盖着薄雾似的面纱， 将尖锐的线条变得柔和， 让粗糙的外表变得平滑 no magic but in thee!

And what's even more ironic is with all your interest in profit you can't even see the truth that I'm worth over A BILLION DOLLARS. 更讽刺的是， 你利欲熏心， 甚至看不清这个事实： 我才是最宝贵的啊! Don't believe me? Okay I'll prove it. 你不相信? 好吧，我证明给你看。 If someone came to you with a check for One Million and said “Here. All I want in return is your eyesight.”

关于经典英语美文摘抄 【篇一】关于经典英语美文：美国革命的历史意义 The Historical Significance of American Revolution The ways of history are so intricate and the motivations of human actions so complex that it is always hazardous to attempt to represent events covering a number of years, a multiplicity of persons, and distant localities as the expression of one intellectual or social movement; yet the historical process which culminated in the ascent of Thomas Jefferson to the presidency can be regarded as the outstanding example not only of the birth of a new way of life but of nationalism as a new way of life. The American Revolution represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modern England became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modern Europe at the end of the eighteenth century.

超级经典的英语短文美文赏析 一、 Everyone has that period in which they find those who are close to them start to seem annoying . 每个人都会经历这样的时期：发现身边那些亲近的人开始变得有点烦了。 You suddenly realized that they've always been talking and talking. 你会突然意识到，长久以来他们就一直不停地在说啊说。 They never stopped. 他们从来就没有停过。 Some of us get angry with them, thinking they are trying too hard to intervene in our lives. 我们中的有些人，会开始变得愤怒，觉得他们对我们的生活介入太多。 But don't. 但是，请不要愤怒。 Only those who really care about you will bother saying so much to you. 只有那些真正关心我们的人才会费劲对我们说这么多。 It's just that maybe they don't know the right way to put it. 只是，他们可能并不知道正确的相处办法。 Some of them push too hard because they care too much. 他们中有些人逼得太紧，那是因为他们太在乎。 Some of them speak too much because they worry about you too much. 他们中的有些人说得太多，那是因为他们太担心你。 They do this because they love you. 他们这么做，都是因为爱你。 So don't push them away. 所以，不要将他们拒于千里之外。 Just find a way to let them know what you truly want. 去找一个办法告诉他们你真的想要的是什么吧。 And let them grow with you. 并且去让他们和你一起成长。 That will make both of you happy.
Sun smile 阳光般的微笑 The sun shone brightly on the ground in front of her feet as she pondered the reality of light. 太阳光芒四射地照耀这她脚前这片大地。她在沉思，思考着阳光是怎么一回事: How did light get here? Who made it and why? 它是怎么来到这儿的?谁让它来的?来做什么? She instinctively stepped into the sun spot and instantly felt warmer, brighter, and fuller of life and energy. 她下意识地踏进阳光里，整个人立刻觉得暖和，清醒起来，浑身充满了生机和活力。 The sun wrapped her in comfort and stability for, if nothing else,she could always count on the sun waking her up most mornings. 阳光笼罩着她，她感到很舒服很踏实，如果没有其他事情，大多数早晨，她都会让阳光叫她起床。
Its predictable radiance felt like the mother she never had as her childhood was characterized more so by pain and heartache than comfort and love. 太阳那如期而至的光芒就像妈妈一样，虽然她从来就没有感受过母爱，她的童年记忆里满是痛苦和伤心，而不是关怀和爱。 She stepped out of the sunlight and felt that all-too-familiar anxious pang in the pit of her stomach as she remembered how horrible it was to live in her childhood home. 她从阳光里走出来，一阵再熟悉不过的恼人的悲痛袭击了她的胸口，让她回忆起童年时的可怕生活。 Memories flooded her mind as she unsuccessfully tried to block them out by thinking good thoughts. 她努力朝好的方面想，希望能抵挡住如洪水般泛滥的痛苦回忆，但是无济于事。 Oh how she wished she could curl up in the middle of the sun and allow its love to encase her for all eternity. 她是多么希望可以蜷缩在温暖的阳光里，让太阳的爱包裹着她直到永远。 But, no, she was stuck here on earth with those who didn't feel the sun's rays the same way she did,who didn't feel deeply connected to this amazing source of life. 然而，这是不可能的。她只能在这儿，和其他人一起。其他人不像她一样渴望阳光，也不曾觉得自己与这神奇的生命之源有什么紧密联系。 All she could do was stand in the sun on occasion and shut out the rest of the world for a little while. 她唯一能做的就是偶尔站在阳光里，和阳光以外的世界短暂地隔离。 Maybe if she stood here long enough they would cease to exist. 她想也许只要一直站在阳光里，外面的世界也就不复存在了。

英语美文欣赏 第一篇：A Grain of Sand 一粒沙子William Blake/威廉.布莱克To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild fllower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. 从一粒沙子看到一个世界，从一朵野花看到一个天堂，把握在你手心里的就是无限，永恒也就消融于一个时辰。 第二篇：Love Your Life 热爱生活Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. 不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不

Friends or 'Enemies?' When I was younger, my Dad used to tell me: "Boys don't want to be your friend." He then left the rest to my imagination. At the time, I didn't agree. I thought: I can crack a good joke, I know how to shoot a hoop, and I'm a cheerful person (but not in an annoying way). What kind of boy wouldn't want to be around that kind of girl? Turns out, my Dad was right. Not to be all "Samantha Brick" about it, but in my experience, single, heterosexual men aren't actively looking for an exclusively platonic relationship with a woman they find sexually attractive. This of course is not a revolutionary concept. In fact, it seems pretty natural to me. Now, I will be the first to say that it is really and truly the most wonderful thing in the world if the attraction is mutual. But the Powers That Be seem to like to play these complicated little mating games with humans where the guy we want to re-enact scenes from 9? Weeks with sees our attractiveness level as akin to that of a discarded dishcloth, and the most physical we could see ourselves being with the guy who actually likes us is a game of ping pong over an especially long table. All of which means that someone usually ends up getting rejected. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have struggled with the scenario where I am not interested in a man romantically, but I want to keep him as a friend because he is funny and I enjoy his company, or he has shown himself to be that rare specimen known as "a nice, genuine person, " or he simply doesn't mention his therapist in every other sentence. Rather than string him along and give him hope, I feel compelled to somehow communicate to him sooner rather than later that we'll just be staying friends, nothing more. Otherwise, I think I am being unfair to him. Why should he waste his romantic stamina on me when there are loads of other single women out there who might fall instantly in love with him? The thing is, it can sometimes be tricky to reject a man and keep him as a friend. If the operation is not executed carefully, you may end up creating a "menemy." It requires a certain amount of skill to be able to turn down a man's sexual advances or romantic gestures and then get him to agree to meet you for blueberry pancakes the following weekend and chat about the latest Woody Allen film. Some men aren't satisfied with just that. I'm not clear why. What's so bad about friendship? Everyone needs buddies. But I've seen men react poorly or simply fall off the face of the earth. I get it -- their feelings are hurt. None of us likes getting rejected. But in my experience, some men find it especially soul-crushing. I am only bringing all of this up because I recently had to go through this scenario again. I had spent some time cultivating a friendship with a man who, in my defense, I thought was gay. So I didn't see the harm in him buying me the occasional falafel, or accepting an invitation to see a film with him. Isn't that what friends are for? But a mutual friend shed light on his sexual orientation (straight) and suggested that his intentions -- and attentions -- weren't platonic. He had never "made the moves" but now it was all crystal clear -- that explains the way he had looked at me that time the tahini sauce dribbled down my chin! Since he had clearly been too timid to express his feelings, I thought I would be clever this time and subtly mention the dates I had been going on, focusing on the one guy I was kind of keen on, so that he would know that I was "unavailable" for heavy petting and those sorts of activities, but that I was available for things like roller skating, falafel-eating and shooting the breeze. Doesn't that sound nice? That way, he would known not to try to lean in for a kiss, and I wouldn't have to pull the Stevie Wonder dance and dodge him went he went for it. It was like pre-rejection, yet I was sparing his feelings because he didn't even have to put himself out there! I really thought I was being brilliant. It backfired, of course. Said man ended up sending me an email rant accusing me of being insensitive by talking about other men when he had "feelings for me." As if I am psychic, by the way, just because I am a woman! How was I supposed to know that? I think in his mind we were dating. In my mind, he was my new gay BFF. In the end, I got mad at him for getting mad at me, and now the friendship has ended. And I have created yet another "menemy." Look, I have also tried the direct thing: "I really like you, but only as a friend, " but you can only do that when the guy has made his intentions clear, and in my experience, they either cope okay (though rarely do I feel much enthusiasm for friendship after that), or they really don't cope well. I also tried the thing where you make them think they are rejecting you, but it gets quite confusing and only works if the guy isn't very sharp, and why would I -- or you -- be hanging out with someone not that sharp in the first place? As we all remember, Billy Crystal's character says men and women can't be friends in When Harry Met Sally because the sex stuff gets in the way. I do have single, male, heterosexual friends with whom I have an easy, non-romantic rapport, but I honestly don't know if they would walk away if I was sprawled naked on a bed calling out to them. I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but sometimes, I wonder if they wonder. And they may wonder if I wonder. If so, I hope they'll keep it to
