“一沙一世界，一花一天堂”，其实英文原版更美
“一沙一世界，一花一天堂。
无限掌中置，刹那成永恒。
”
这四句诗，很多人听过、读过、背诵过，以为它是一首中国古典诗歌，其实它节选自英国诗歌《一粒沙子》，作者是英国诗人威廉·布莱克。
很多文学大家都翻译过这首诗，比如李叔同、徐志摩、梁宗岱。
其中，最出名的是徐志摩翻译的版本，也是文章开头那四句。
《一粒沙子》的英文原版也很有韵律。
接受“宝贝为你读诗”公益项目邀请，我给孩子们朗读了这首诗的英文原版：英文对照
A Grain of Sand
By William Blake
Recitalist：Kaifu LeeTo see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
威廉·布莱克（William
Blake）被列为英国文学史最伟大的六位诗人之一（其他五人为乔叟、斯宾塞、莎士比亚、弥尔顿、华兹华斯）。
这首《一粒沙子》节选自他名作《天真的预言Auguries
of
Innocence》，在他去世100年之后，周作人第一次把他介绍到中国，之后徐志摩翻译，那句“一沙一世界，一花一天堂”就成为了我们中国人熟知的名言。
“一沙一世界，一花一天堂”，从每个渺小生命中，都能看到这整个物种的生命力，而我们的生命力，能够“把无限放在掌心，让永恒收藏刹那”。
因为我们有诗歌、哲学、艺术，教育我们的孩子走向真善美，同时孩子们的智慧也让它们发出更耀眼的光芒。

一粒沙尘和沙漠的英语作文A Grain of Sand and a Desert: The Interplay of the Macro and Micro.In the vast expanse of the universe, where galaxies swirl and celestial bodies dance in harmony, the concept of scale often eludes our grasp. From the infinitesimal to the colossal, the cosmos presents us with a bewildering array of dimensions, each with its own unique significance and interconnectedness. In this grand cosmic tapestry, a grain of sand, seemingly insignificant and inconsequential, holds within it a profound connection to the boundless desert from which it originated.The desert, a seemingly desolate and barren landscape, is in reality a teeming ecosystem, teeming with life and sculpted by the ceaseless forces of nature. It is a realm where the wind whispers secrets through the grains of sand, where the sun casts its fiery gaze upon the parched earth, and where the stars twinkle with an otherworldly brilliancein the unpolluted night sky. Within this unforgiving environment, a single grain of sand, a tiny fragment ofrock or mineral, plays a pivotal role in the delicate balance of the desert ecosystem.Each grain of sand, small as it may be, is a testamentto the relentless forces that have shaped the desert over eons. Carried by the relentless wind, grains of sandcollide with each other, slowly eroding and reshaping the landscape. They form intricate patterns and dunes, creating a mesmerizing canvas that shifts and evolves with each passing gust. The constant movement of sand also polishesits surface, giving it a smooth and rounded appearance that reflects the relentless sculpting power of nature's grand design.While a single grain of sand may seem insignificant, it is an integral part of the vast desert ecosystem. The sand provides a habitat for a diverse array of organisms, from tiny insects and reptiles to larger mammals. Within the intricate network of pores and crevices between sand grains, a hidden world unfolds, teeming with life that has adaptedto the harsh conditions of the desert. The sand also serves as a vital reservoir of nutrients, storing water andorganic matter that sustains the fragile desert ecosystem.The relationship between a grain of sand and the desert is a microcosm of the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. Just as a grain of sand contributes to the vast expanse of the desert, so too does each individualplay a role in the shaping of our world. Our actions, no matter how small, have the potential to ripple through the fabric of society and the environment, leaving an enduring impact on the world around us.The desert, with its seemingly endless expanse, reminds us of the vastness of the universe and our place within it. It teaches us humility and resilience, reminding us that even the smallest of things can contribute to the grand tapestry of life. A grain of sand, though seemingly insignificant, is an essential part of the desert ecosystem, playing a vital role in the intricate dance of nature.As we contemplate the interconnectedness of all things,we gain a deeper appreciation for the fragility and resilience of our planet. The desert, with its harsh conditions and delicate balance, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of conservation and sustainability. It implores us to tread lightly upon the earth, to respect the delicate balance of nature, and to strive to live in harmony with the environment thatsustains us.In the interplay between a grain of sand and the desert, we find a profound lesson about scale and interconnectedness. It reminds us that even the smallest of things can contribute to the grand tapestry of life, andthat our actions, no matter how seemingly insignificant, have the potential to shape the world around us. As we navigate the complexities of modern society, let us draw inspiration from the desert, embracing the interconnectedness of all things and striving to live in harmony with the environment that sustains us.。
英语美文赏析：沙子和石头 Sand and StoneOnce upon a time, there lived a man and a woman who were deeply in love with each other.Once, the man gave the woman a bag of sand and a bag of stones, telling her that the sand was her love and the stones were his love.The woman was confused and asked him why he gave her such a strange gift.The man smiled and said, “My love for you is like the sand, it is vast and limitless. My love for you is like the stones, it is strong and everlasting.”The woman was touched by the m an’s words and kept the bags of sand and stones close to her heart, cherishing the love that the man had for her.从前，有一对深爱彼此的男人和女人。
有一次，男人给女人一袋沙子和一袋石头，告诉她沙子代表他的爱，石头代表他的爱。
女人困惑不解，问他为什么给她这么奇怪的礼物。
男人微笑着说：“我对你的爱就像沙子，它广阔无边。
我对你的爱就像石头，它坚固永恒。
”女人被男人的话打动了，把沙子和石头放在心里，珍视男人对她的爱。
I remember the day vividly when I first learned the profound lesson about the significance of a single grain of sand. It was a sunny afternoon in the coastal city of Qingdao, where the air was filled with the briny scent of the sea and the laughter of children playing on the beach.I was there with my friends, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my skin, when I noticed a small, seemingly insignificant grain of sand. It was just one of the countless grains that made up the vast expanse of the beach. But as I picked it up and examined it closely, I realized that it was a tiny masterpiece of nature. Its smooth surface, the result of countless years of being worn down by the relentless waves, was a testament to the power of time and the ocean.The grain of sand was a reminder that even the smallest and most unassuming things can have a significant impact. Just like the sand, we, as individuals, may feel insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But each of us has the potential to make a difference, no matter how small it may seem.This thought was reinforced when I learned about the story of Wang Li, a high school student from a small village in China. Despite facing numerous challenges, including poverty and limited access to educational resources, Wang Li was determined to make a difference in her community. She started a small library in her village, using books she collected from various sources. Over time, the library grew, and it became a hub for learning and personal growth for the villagers.Wang Lis story is a powerful example of how even a single grain of sand, or a single individual, can create a ripple effect that impacts many lives. It shows that no matter our circumstances, we all have the ability to make a positive change in the world around us.Moreover, the concept of a grain of sands significance is also reflected in the Chinese proverb, A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This saying emphasizes the importance of taking the first step, no matter how small it may be, to achieve a larger goal. It reminds us that even the most significant achievements start with a single, seemingly insignificant action.In conclusion, the position of a single grain of sand, or an individual, may seem insignificant at first glance. However, it is through recognizing and embracing our potential that we can create a ripple effect and make a meaningful impact on the world. Whether its starting a library in a small village or taking the first step towards a larger goal, every action counts and contributes to the bigger picture. So, let us not underestimate the power of a single grain of sand or a single individual, for it is through these seemingly small actions that great things can be achieved.。
用英语写一篇以沙子为主题的作文## The Enigma of Sand Sand, a seemingly simple substance, is an enigma wrapped in a paradox. Each grain, a tiny fragment of rock and mineral, whispers tales of ancient mountains worn down by time, of raging rivers carving their paths, and of the relentless ocean grinding shells and corals into fine dust.Individually insignificant, together they form vast landscapes that stretch across continents, shaping deserts, beaches, and riverbeds. They are the foundation of towering cities and the playground of children, a canvas for artistry and a source of life. Hold a handful of sand, and it flows through your fingers like liquid, yet it can also be sculpted into intricate castles that defy gravity. This duality, this dance between fluidity and solidity, reflects the very essence of sand. It is both constant and ever-changing, molded by the wind and the waves, shifting with the tides, yet eternally present. A desert landscape, sculpted by the wind into mesmerizing dunes, may appear static, but beneath the surface, each grain is on a journey, driven by the elements, never truly at rest. From the scorching Saharato the windswept shores of Iceland, sand paints the Earth in a myriad of hues. The pearly white sands of the Maldives, born from coral skeletons, speak of tropical paradise. The black volcanic sands of Hawaii tell a story of fire and creation, while the red sands of the Australian outback whisper of ancient deserts and the passage of time. Each color, a fingerprint of the Earth's history, reveals the secrets of its origin and journey. Sand is not merely an observer of history; it is an active participant. It has witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations, the march of armies, and the footsteps of countless souls. Beneath the surface lie buried cities, lost treasures, and forgotten stories waiting to be unearthed. Each archaeological dig, each discovery, is a window into the past, a testament to the enduring legacy held within these tiny grains. More than just a geological marvel, sand plays a vital role in the intricate web of life. It provides a habitat for countless creatures, from the ghost crabs scuttling across the beach at night to the resilient desert plants that eke out an existence in arid landscapes. Itfilters water, replenishes beaches, and protects coastlines from the ravages ofthe sea. Even the smallest grain contributes to the delicate balance of our ecosystem, a silent guardian of life on Earth. Yet, this seemingly infiniteresource is not without its vulnerabilities. The insatiable demand for sand, driven by our ever-expanding cities and infrastructure, is taking its toll. Beaches are eroding, riverbeds are being depleted, and ecosystems are facing disruption. The very substance that has shaped our world is now threatened by our own actions, a stark reminder of the responsibility we hold towards the environment. As we stand on the edge of a vast desert or gaze upon the endless ocean, let us appreciate the quiet power of sand. It is a symbol of time, of resilience, and of the interconnectedness of all things. In its simplicity lies profound complexity, a universe within each grain. Let us learn from its story, respect its power, and ensure its preservation for generations to come. For within these tiny fragments of rock and mineral lies the very essence of our planet, a timeless testament to the beauty and fragility of the world we call home.。
