① 一些英文的詩歌美文 是高中生易懂的
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
"Now Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and Saint Nicholas, too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney Saint Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
Crossing the Bar
By Alfred Tennyson
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When That which drew form out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
渡沙渚
阿爾費雷德?丁尼生
夕陽下，閃疏星，
召喚一聲清朗！
願沙渚寧靜，
我將出海遠航；
潮汐如夢幻，
濤聲似止，浪花息；
大海深處涌來，
又悄然退卻。
暮靄鍾鳴，
黑夜將籠罩！
願訣別無悲聲，
登舟起錨；
千古洪流，時空無限，
滔滔載我至遠方；
渡沙渚一線，
泰然見領航。

Oh, Captain! My Captain!
By Walt Whitman
Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is worn,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red!
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths--for you the shores crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here, Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse or will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult, O Shores! and ring, O bell!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
船長！我的船長！
瓦爾特?惠特曼
啊， 船長！我的船長！可怕的航程已完成；
這船歷盡風險，企求的目標已達成。
港口在望，鍾聲響，人們在歡欣。
千萬雙眼睛注視著船----平穩，勇敢，堅定。
但是痛心啊！痛心！痛心！
瞧一滴滴鮮紅的血！
甲板上躺著我的船長，
他到下去，冰冷，永別。
啊， 船長！我的船長！起來吧，傾聽鍾聲；
起來吧，號角為您長鳴，旌旗為您高懸；
迎著您，多少花束花圈----候著您，千萬人蜂擁岸邊；
他們向您高呼，擁來擠去，仰起殷切的臉；
啊，船長！親愛的父親！
我的手臂托著您的頭！
莫非是一場夢：在甲板上
您到下去，冰冷，永別。
我的船長不作聲，嘴唇慘白，毫不動彈；
我的父親沒感到我的手臂，沒有脈搏，沒有遺言；
船舶拋錨停下，平安抵達；航程終了；
歷經艱險返航，奪得勝利目標。
啊，岸上鍾聲齊鳴，啊，人們一片歡騰！
但是，我在甲板上，在船長身旁，
心悲切，步履沉重：
因為他倒下去，冰冷，永別。

To the Cuckoo
By William Wordsworth
O blithe new-comer! I have heard,
I hear thee and rejoice.
O Cuckoo! shall I call thee Bird,
Or but a wandering Voice?
While I am lying on the grass
Thy twofold shout I hear;
From hill to hill it seems to pass
At once far off, and near.
Though babbling only to the Vale,
Of sunshine and of flowers,
Thou bringest unto me a tale
Of visionary hours.
Thrice welcome, darling of the Spring!
Even ye thou art to me
No bird, but an invisible thing,
A voice a mystery;
The same whom in my schoolboy days
I listened to; that Cry
Which made me look a thousand ways
In bush, and tree, and sky.
To seek thee did I often rove
Through woods and on the green;
And thou wert still a hope, a love;
Still longed for, never seen.
And I can listen to thee yet;
Can lie upon the plain
And listen, till I do beget
That golden time again.
O blessed Bird! the earth we pace
Again appears to be
An unsubstantial, faery place;
That is fit home for thee!
致布穀鳥
威廉華?茲華斯
啊，快樂的新客！
聽到你囀鳴，我滿懷喜悅；
啊，布穀，是否稱你為鳥？
或為妙音，回盪清越？
當我躺在草地上，
聽到你的二重唱：
似從這山傳到那山，
似在近旁，又在遠方。
你的歌聲在山谷回盪，
伴著繁華和陽光；
你還把我帶到
追憶往事的幻想。
我再三地歡迎
你是陽春的先行。
在我眼中，你可不是鳥，
而是無形的神奇之音。
想當年我還是小學生，
曾傾聽同樣的鳴聲；
我千方百計尋找，
從天上到叢林。
我時常漫遊，為了找你，
踩著草地，穿過密林；
如今仍在期待，雖不眼見，
你仍是希望，是戀情。
此刻我躺在平原，
你的歌聲仍能聽見。
我專心諦聽，
直到召回金色的童年。
我們棲息的大地
又顯得空靈而神奇；
這是你安家的福地，
啊， 快樂的鳥兒，祝福你！
==================================
Spring
By Thomas Nashe
Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
The palm and may make country houses gay,
Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,
And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,
Young lovers meet, old wives a sunning sit,
In every street these tunes our ears do greet,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
Spring! the sweet Spring!
春托馬斯?納什
春，甘美之春，一年之中的堯舜，
處處都有花樹，都有女兒環舞，
微寒但覺清和，佳禽爭著唱歌，
啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麥、插一禾！
榆柳呀山楂，打扮著田舍人家，
羊羔嬉遊，牧笛兒整日在吹奏，
百鳥總在和鳴，一片悠揚聲韻，
啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麥、插一禾！
郊原盪漾香風，雛菊吻人腳踵，
情侶作對成雙，老嫗坐曬陽光，
走向任何通衢，都有歌聲悅耳，
啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麥、插一禾！
春！甘美之春！

In the crooks of your branches
The bright eyes of song sparrows sitting on spotted egg

Of all springs.
② 跪求英文美文5篇!!!
一：Love Is Not Like Merchandise
A reader in Florida, apparently bruised by some personal experience, writes in to complain, "If I steal a nickel's worth of merchandise, I am a thief and punished; but if I steal the love of another's wife, I am free."
This is a prevalent misconception in many people's minds---that love, like merchandise, can be "stolen". Numerous states, in fact, have enacted laws allowing damages for "alienation of affections".
But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought, sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, a change in the climate of the personality.
When a husband or wife is "stolen" by another person, that husband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposed toward a new partner. The "love bandit" was only taking what was waiting to be taken, what wanted to be taken.
We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of the children "belonging" to their parents. But nobody "belongs" to anyone else. Each person belongs to himself, and to God. Children are entrusted to their parents, and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right to remove them from their parents' trusteeship.
Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheart being taken from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. At the time, we may have resented this intruder---but as we grew older, we recognized that the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruder that "caused" the break, but the lack of a real relationship.
On the surface, many marriages seem to break up because of a "third party". This is, however, a psychological illusion. The other woman or the other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving a marriage that had already lost its essential integrity.
Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than the bitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has "come between" oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, for people are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents, working out their own destinies for good or for ill.
But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe that his beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister or magical properties to the interloper. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or a home-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken, the breaking has begun long before any "third party" has appeared on the scene.
譯文：愛情不是商品
佛羅里達州的一位讀者顯然是在個人經歷上受過創傷, 他寫信來抱怨道: 「如果我偷走了五分錢的商品, 我就是個賊, 要受到懲罰, 但是如果我偷走了他人妻子的愛情, 我沒事兒。」
這是許多人心目中普遍存在的一種錯誤觀念——愛情, 像商品一樣, 可以 「偷走」。實際上，許多州都頒布法令，允許索取「情感轉讓」賠償金。
但是愛情並不是商品；真情實意不可能買到，賣掉，交換，或者偷走。愛情是志願的行動，是感情的轉向，是個性發揮上的變化。
當丈夫或妻子被另一個人「偷走」時，那個丈夫或妻子就已經具備了被偷走的條件，事先已經准備接受新的伴侶了。這位「愛匪」不過是取走等人取走、盼人取走的東西。
我們往往待人如物。我們甚至說孩子「屬於」父母。但是誰也不「屬於」誰。人都屬於自己和上帝。孩子是託付給父母的，如果父母不善待他們，州政府就有權取消父母對他們的託管身份。
我們多數人年輕時都有過戀人被某個更有誘惑力、更有吸引力的人奪去的經歷。在當時，我們興許怨恨這位不速之客---但是後來長大了，也就認識到了心上人本來就不屬於我們。並不是不速之客「導致了」決裂，而是缺乏真實的關系。
從表面上看，許多婚姻似乎是因為有了「第三者」才破裂的。然而這是一種心理上的幻覺。另外那個女人，或者另外那個男人，無非是作為借口，用來解除早就不是完好無損的婚姻罷了。
因失戀而痛苦，因別人「插足」於自己與心上人之間而圖報復，是最沒有出息、最自作自受的樂。這種事總是歪曲了事實真相，因為誰都不是給別人當俘虜或犧牲品——人都是自由行事的，不論命運是好是壞，都由自己來作主。
但是，遭離棄的情人或配偶無法相信她的心上人是自由地背離他的——因而他歸咎於插足者心術不正或迷人有招。他把他叫做催眠師、竊賊或破壞家庭的人。然而，從大多數事例看，一個家的破裂，是早在什麼「第三者」出現之前就開始了的。
二：放慢你的腳步
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street，
going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out
from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw
something.
As his car passed， one child appeared， and a brick smashed into the Jag's
side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where
the brick had been
thrown.
He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked
car， shouting， "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are
you doing?"Building up a head of steam， he went on"That's a new car and that
brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do
it?"
「Please， mister， please， I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!」pleaded
the youngster." It's my brother，" he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out
of his wheelchair and I can't lift him
up.
Sobbing， the boy asked the executive， "Would you please help me get him back
into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for
me."
Moved beyond words， the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in
his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his
handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts， checking to see that everything was
going to be
okay.
"Thank you， sir. And God bless you，" the grateful child said to him. The man
then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their
home.
It was a long walk backs to his Jaguar... a long， slow walk. He never did
repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so
fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your
attention.
Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes,when you don't
have the time to listen,it's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or
wait for the brick!
Do you sometimes ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy
leaving them to wonder whether you really love
them?
譯文：一位年輕的總裁，以有點快的車速，開著他的新車子經過住宅區的巷道。他必須小心游戲中的孩子突然跑到路中央，所以當他覺得小孩子快跑出來時，就要減慢車速。
就在他的車經過一群小朋友的時候，一個小朋友丟了一塊磚頭打到了他的車門，他很生氣的踩了煞車並後退到磚頭丟出來的地方。
他跳出車外，抓了那個小孩，把他頂在車門上說：「你為什麼這樣做，你知道你剛剛做了什麼嗎？」
接著又吼道：「你知不知道你要賠多少錢來修理這台新車，你到底為什麼要這樣做？」
小孩子求著說：「先生，對不起，我不知道我還能怎麼辦？」他接著說：「因為我哥哥從輪椅上掉下來，我沒辦法把他抬回去。」
那男孩啜泣著說：「你可以幫我把他抬回去嗎？他受傷了，而且他太重了我抱不動。」
這些話讓這位年輕的總裁深受感動，他抱起男孩受傷的哥哥，幫他坐回輪椅上。並拿出手帕擦拭他哥哥的傷口，以確定他哥哥沒有什麼大問題。
那個小男孩感激地說：「謝謝你，先生，上帝保佑你。」 然後他看著男孩推著他哥哥回去。
年輕總裁返回的路變的很漫長，他也沒有修他汽車的側門。他保留著車上的凹痕就是提醒自己。生活的道路不要走的太匆忙，否則需要其他人敲打自己來注意生活的真諦。
當生命想與你的心靈竊竊私語時，若你沒有時間，你有兩種選擇：傾聽你心靈的聲音或讓磚頭來砸你！
請問你是否曾因為生活太快、太忙碌而忽略了你所愛的人，然後讓他們開始開始懷疑起你是不是真的愛他們呢？
三：Facing the Sea With Spring Blossoms—HaiZi
From tomorrow on,I will be a happy man.
Grooming,chopping and traveling all over the world.
From tomorrow on,I will care foodstuff and vegetable.
Living in a house towards the sea, with spring
blossoms.
From tomorrow on,write to each of my dear ones.
Telling them of my happiness.
What the lightening of happiness has told me.
I will spread it to each of them.
Give a warm name for every river and every mountain.
Strangers,I will also wish you happy.
May you have a brilliant future!
May you lovers eventually become spouses!
May you enjoy happiness in this earthly world!
I only wish to face the sea, with spring blossoms.
譯文：面朝大海，春暖花開—海子
從明天起，做一個幸福的人
喂馬，劈柴，周遊世界
從明天起，關心糧食和蔬菜
我有一所房子，面朝大海，春暖花開
從明天起，和每一個人通信
告訴他們我的幸福
那幸福的閃電告訴我的
我將告訴每一個人
給每一條河每一座山取一個溫暖的名字
陌生人，我也為你祝福
願你有一個燦爛的前程
願有情人終成眷屬
願你們在塵世獲得幸福
我只願面朝大海，春暖花開
四：True Nobility
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.Take the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled yarn.Bereavements and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.
In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.
I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance.There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
譯文： 真正的高貴
在風平浪靜的大海上,每個人都是領航員。
但只有陽光沒有陰影,只有快樂沒有痛苦,根本不是真正的生活.就拿最幸福的人來說,他的生活也是一團纏結在一起的亂麻。痛苦與幸福交替出現,使得我們一會悲傷一會高興。甚至死亡本身都使得生命更加可愛。在人生清醒的時刻,在悲傷與失落的陰影之下,人們與真實的自我最為接近。
在生活和事業的種種事務之中，性格比才智更能指導我們，心靈比頭腦更能引導我們，而由判斷獲得的剋制、耐心和教養比天分更能讓我們受益。
我一向認為，內心生活開始更為嚴謹的人，他的外在生活也會變得更為簡朴。在物慾橫流的年代，但願我能向世人表明：人類的真正需求少得多麼可憐。
反思自己的過錯不至於重蹈覆轍才是真正的悔悟。高人一等並沒有什麼值得誇耀的。真正的高貴是優於過去的自已。
五：行如其人
It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, "How much is it to get in?"
The young man replied, "$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?"
Bobby replied, "The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00."
The man at the ticket counter said, "Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself three bucks. You could have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn't have known the difference." Bobby replied, "Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference."
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying." In challenging times when ethics are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with.
譯文：
行如其人
這是奧克拉荷馬城的一個晴朗的星期六下午。我的朋友巴比·路易斯，一位令人敬佩的父親，帶著他的兩個小兒子去玩迷你高爾夫。他走向售票處，向售票員問道：「進去需要花多少錢？」
那個年輕人回答道：「你，3美元；6歲以上的兒童，3美元。6歲以下的兒童免費。他們多大了？」
巴比回答：「律師，3歲；醫生，7歲。所以我想我應該付給你6美元。」
那個售票的說：「嘿，先生，你是剛贏了彩票還是怎麼了？你本可以省下3美元的。你可以告訴我，最大的6歲。我根本看不出來。」巴比回答：「對，那可能行得通，但是這些孩子會知道這其中的差別。」
就像拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛默生說的那樣：「你本身要比你所說的話重要。」在這個道德比以往任何時候都重要的年代裡，你最好給和你一起你生活和工作的人樹立一個良好的榜樣。

活出你的精彩
Life is a gift we're given each and every day.
Dream about tomorrow, but live for today.
To live a little, you've got to love a whole lot.
Love turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Life's a journey always worth taking.
Take time to smell the roses...and tulips...
and daffodils...and lilacs...and sunflowers...
Count blessings like children count stars.
The secret of a happy life isn't buried in a treasure chest...
It lies within your heart.
It's the little moments that make life big.
Don't wait. Make memories today.
Celebrate your life!
生命是一份我們每日都收到的禮物。
要夢想明天，但要活好今天。
即便是短暫的人生，你也要付出無限的愛。
愛讓平凡變得精彩。
生命永遠是一段值得享受的旅程。
駐足去聞一下花香：玫瑰，鬱金香，
水仙，丁香花，向日葵......
細數幸福,就像孩子數星星一樣。
幸福人生的秘密並非藏在財寶箱里......
而是埋在你的心底，
是那些小小的瞬間讓生命變得偉大。
不要等待。今天就留下美好的記憶吧。
慶祝你的生命吧！

⑧ 短篇英文美文
Samuel Ullman
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 sixty more than a body of twenty. 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 st.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and 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, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
青春
青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想像，炙熱的戀情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒苟安。如此銳氣，二十後生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，並非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。
歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。
無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。 、
一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。
Three Days to See (Excerpts)
Hellen Keller
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours. But always we were interested in discovering how the doomed choose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.
Such storied set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experience, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, would adopt the Epicurean motto of 「eat, drink and be merry.」 But most people would be chastened by certainty of impending death.
In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.
Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.
The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in alt life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same story of not being grateful of what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.
I have thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time ring his early alt life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
假如給我三天光明（節選）
我們都讀過震撼人心的故事，故事中的主人公只能再活一段很有限的時光，有時長達一年，有時卻短至一日。但我們總是想要知道，註定要離世人的會選擇如何度過自己最後的時光。當然，我說的是那些有選擇權利的自由人，而不是那些活動范圍受到嚴格限定的死囚。
這樣的故事讓我們思考，在類似的處境下，我們該做些什麼？作為終有一死的人，在臨終前的幾個小時內我們應該做什麼事，經歷些什麼或做哪些聯想？回憶往昔，什麼使我們開心快樂？什麼又使我們悔恨不已？
有時我想，把每天都當作生命中的最後一天來邊，也不失為一個極好的生活法則。這種態度會使人格外重視生命的價值。我們每天都應該以優雅的姿態，充沛的精力，抱著感恩之心來生活。但當時間以無休止的日，月和年在我們面前流逝時，我們卻常常沒有了這種子感覺。當然，也有人奉行「吃，喝，享受」的享樂主義信條，但絕大多數人還是會受到即將到來的死亡的懲罰。
在故事中，將死的主人公通常都在最後一刻因突降的幸運而獲救，但他的價值觀通常都會改變，他變得更加理解生命的意義及其永恆的精神價值。我們常常注意到，那些生活在或曾經生活在死亡陰影下的人無論做什麼都會感到幸福。
然而，我們中的大多數人都把生命看成是理所當然的。我們知道有一天我們必將面對死亡，但總認為那一天還在遙遠的將來。當我們身強體健之時，死亡簡直不可想像，我們很少考慮到它。日子多得好像沒有盡頭。因此我們一味忙於瑣事，幾乎意識不到我們對待生活的冷漠態度。
我擔心同樣的冷漠也存在於我們對自己官能和意識的運用上。只有聾子才理解聽力的重要，只有盲人才明白視覺的可貴，這尤其適用於那些成年後才失去視力或聽力之苦的人很少充分利用這些寶貴的能力。他們的眼睛和耳朵模糊地感受著周圍的景物與聲音，心不在焉，也無所感激。這正好我們只有在失去後才懂得珍惜一樣，我們只有在生病後才意識到健康的可貴。
我經常想，如果每個人在年輕的時候都有幾天失時失聰，也不失為一件幸事。黑暗將使他更加感激光明，寂靜將告訴他聲音的美妙。

Love means having a want for the person I love without having a need for that person in order to be complete. If I love you but you leave, I'll experience a loss and be sad and lonely, but I'll still be able to survive. If I am overly dependent on you for my meaning and my survival, then I am not free to challenge our relationship; nor am I free to challenge and confront you. Because of my fear of losing you, I'll settle for less than I want, and this settling will surely lead to feelings of resentment.
Love means identifying with the person I love. If I love you, I can empathize with you and see the world through your eyes. I can identify with you because I'm able to see myself in you and you in me. This closeness dose not implies a continual "togetherness", for distance and separation are sometimes essential in a loving relationship. Distance can intensify a loving bond, and it can help us rediscover ourselves so that we are able to meet each other in a new way.
Love involves seeing the potential within the person we love. In my love for another, I view her or him as the person she or he can become, while still accepting who and what the person is now. Goethe's observation is relevant here: by taking people as they are, we make them worse, but by treating them as if they already were what they ought to be, we help make them better.
愛是有所期待而不完全依賴。若我愛你而你卻離開，我會失落，感傷，孤寂，但不至於失去生活的勇氣。若我的生命意義完全仰給於你，則這份情感已岌岌可危。因為患得患失，我只能將就行事，而這必將導致由愛生恨。
愛是心有靈犀。我愛你所愛，夢你所夢，體驗用你的眼光審視世界，因為你我情投意合，水乳交融，心有靈犀。但生活中，小別有時勢所必然，這距離會加深思慕和期待，還有助於我們深度發現自我，這又帶來嶄新的重逢。
愛可以發掘潛能。我接受對方的現狀，更展望對方的未來。歌德說得中肯：用短淺的眼光看人使之停滯，用發展的視野對人則能助長其進步。
Hanover Square 漢諾威廣場--- 追憶似水年華
Can it really be sixty-two years ago that I first saw you?
It is truly a lifetime, I know. But as I gaze into your eyes now, it seems like only yesterday that I first saw you, in that small café in Hanover Square.
From the moment I saw you smile, as you opened the door for that young mother and her newborn baby. I knew. I knew that I wanted to share the rest of my life with you.
I still think of how foolish I must have looked, as I gazed at you, that first time. I remember watching you intently, as you took off your hat and loosely shook your short dark hair with your fingers. I felt myself becoming immersed in your every detail, as you placed your hat on the table and cupped your hands around the hot cup of tea, gently blowing the steam away with your pouted lips.
From that moment, everything seemed to make perfect sense to me. The people in the café and the busy street outside all disappeared into a hazy blur. All I could see was you.
All through my life I have relived that very first day. Many, many times I have sat and thought about that the first day, and how for a few fleeting moments I am there, feeling again what is like to know true love for the very first time. It pleases me that I can still have those feelings now after all those years, and I know I will always have them to comfort me.
Not even as I shook and trembled uncontrollably in the trenches, did I forget your face. I would sit huddled into the wet mud, terrified, as the hails of bullets and mortars crashed down around me. I would clutch my rifle tightly to my heart, and think again of that very first day we met. I would cry out in fear, as the noise of war beat down around me. But, as I thought of you and saw you smiling back at me, everything around me would be become silent, and I would be with you again for a few precious moments, far from the death and destruction. It would not be until I opened my eyes once again, that I would see and hear the carnage of the war around me.
I cannot tell you how strong my love for you was back then, when I returned to you on leave in the September, feeling battered, bruised and fragile. We held each other so tight I thought we would burst. I asked you to marry me the very same day and I whooped with joy when you looked deep into my eyes and said "yes" to being my bride.
I`m looking at our wedding photo now, the one on our dressing table, next to your jewellery box. I think of how young and innocent we were back then. I remember being on the church steps grinning like a Cheshire cat, when you said how dashing and handsome I looked in my uniform. The photo is old and faded now, but when I look at it, I only see the bright vibrant colors of our youth. I can still remember every detail of the pretty wedding dress your mother made for you, with its fine delicate lace and pretty pearls. If I concentrate hard enough, I can smell the sweetness of your wedding bouquet as you held it so proudly for everyone to see.
我們初次相遇，難道真的是六十二年前嗎？ 年華似水，倏忽間我們已相攜一世。望著你的眼睛，當年的邂逅歷歷如在昨昔，就在漢諾威廣場的那間小咖啡館里。 從見到你的那一刻起，那一刻你正為一位年輕的母親和她的小寶寶開門，那一刻當看到你的盈盈笑靨，我就明白我只願與你執手攜老，共度今生。 我仍然不時想起，那天自己那樣地盯著你，一定很傻；就那樣情不自禁怔怔地望著你，追隨你摘下小帽，用手指鬆了松短短的黑發，追隨你把帽子放在桌前，雙手捧起暖暖的茶杯，追隨你微撅櫻唇，輕輕吹走飄騰的熱氣，我的目光始終追隨著你，感覺自己在你的溫柔舉止間慢慢融化。 從那一刻起，一切似乎都鮮明了意義。咖啡館里的來來往往和外面鬧市的熙熙攘攘忽然都模糊了起來，我眼裡能看到的，只有你。 光陰似箭，那一天卻不斷在我的記憶里重演，鮮活如初。多少次我再次坐下，不斷追憶那天的點滴，不斷回味那些飛縱的瞬間，重新體會一見鍾情的美麗。歲月的流逝卻並沒有帶走我的愛戀感覺，這些體驗會永遠伴隨我，安撫我的寥寥餘生。即使是當我在戰壕中控制不住地顫抖，我也不曾忘記你的容顏。我蜷縮在稀泥中，身邊是槍林彈雨，彌漫硝煙，我把步槍緊緊地攥在胸前，一顆驚恐不安的心，還是想起了我們初識的那一天。身旁戰火呼嘯，恐懼讓我想要大聲呼叫，直到想起你，彷彿見到你在我身後盈盈淺笑，戰場忽然沉寂下來，在這珍貴的瞬間，我覺得自己暫時遠離了毀滅和死亡，飛向你的身旁。我拚命想留住這美好，直到睜開眼，周圍卻依然是血與火的生死戰場。 九月休假回到你身邊，我疲憊而脆弱，沒能再告訴你戰火紛飛時我對你的愛有多深。我們只能緊緊擁抱在一起，彷彿要把對方擠碎。也就在那天，面對我的求婚，你深深凝望我的眼睛，答應做我的新娘，而我早已歡喜地大喊大叫。我現在正看著我們的結婚照片，總是放在妝台上的那張，就在你的首飾盒旁。那時候，我們多麼年輕，多麼純真。我記得我們站在教堂的台階上，開心得像一對甜蜜的鴛鴦，你還說我穿著制服多麼英武俊朗。照片已經舊得泛黃了，但我看到的，卻只有當年青春的明媚姿彩。我仍然記得你母親為你做的那件新娘禮服，那些精緻的花邊和漂亮的珠飾。讓我再想一想，我還能聞到那婚禮花束的甜香，你那麼驕傲地捧著花，讓每一個人分享你的幸福時光。
