1\Russell on Affection (羅素論愛)

The best type of affection is reciprocally life-giving; each receives affection with joy and gives it without effort, and each finds the whole world more interesting in consequence of the existence of this reciprocal happiness. There is, however, another kind, by no means uncommon, in which one person sucks the vitality of the other, one receives what the other gives, but gives almost nothing in return. Some very vital people belong to this bloodsucking type. They extract the vitality from one victim after another, but while they prosper and grow interesting, those upon whom they live grow pale and dim and dull. Such people use others as means to their own ends, and never consider them as ends in themselves. Fundamentally they are not interested in those whom for the moment they think they love; they are interested only in the stimulus to their owe activities, perhaps of a quite impersonal sort. Evidently this springs from some defect in their nature, but it is one not altogether easy either to diagnose of to cure(來自:www.huhawan.com 蒲公英文摘:英語長篇美文). It is a characteristic frequently associated with great ambition, and is rooted, I should say, in an unduly one-sided view of what makes human happiness. Affection in the sense of a genuine reciprocal interest of two persons in each other, not solely as means to each other’s good, but rather as a combination having a common good, is one of the most important elements of real happiness, and the man whose ego is so enclosed within steel walls that this enlargement of it is impossible misses the best that life has to offer, however successful he may be in his career. A too powerful ego is a prison from which a man must escape if he is to enjoy the world to the full. A capacity for genuine affection is one of the marks of the man who has escaped form this prison of self. To receive affection is by no means enough; affection which is received should liberate the affection which is to be given, and only where both exist in equal measure does affection achieve its best possibilities.

最好的那種愛是彼此愉悅的愛；彼此很愉快地接受，很自然地給出，并且由于有了這種互惠的快樂，彼此都覺得整個世界更有趣味。然而，還有一種決非少見的愛，那就是一方吸收著另一方的活力，接受著另一方的給出，但他這一方幾乎毫無回報。某些生命力極旺的人便屬于這吸血的一類。他們把一個又一個犧牲者的活力吸凈，但是當(dāng)他們越發(fā)生機勃勃，興致盎然之時，那些被榨取的人卻變得越來越蒼白、黯淡和遲鈍。這種人總是把他人當(dāng)作工具來實現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)，卻從不考慮他人也有他自己的目標(biāo)。他們一時以為他們愛著那些人，其實那些人根本引不起他們的興趣；他們感興趣的不過是為自己的活動添些刺激，而他們的活動也許當(dāng)屬全無人格的那種。這種情形顯然源于他們本性上的某種缺陷，但是這種缺陷既不容易

診斷也不容易治療。它往往與極大的野心有關(guān)，同時也是由于他們總是不恰當(dāng)?shù)貜膯畏矫嫒タ创�人生幸福的緣故。兩人真正相互關(guān)心意義的愛，不僅是促進(jìn)彼此幸福的手段，而且是促進(jìn)共同幸福的手段，是真正快樂的最重要因素之一。凡是把自我禁錮起來不能擴展的人，必然錯失人生所能提供的最好的東西，不管他在事業(yè)上如何成功。太強的自我是一座監(jiān)獄，你若想充分地享受人生，就得從這座監(jiān)獄中逃脫。能有真正的愛，這是一個人已逃出自我監(jiān)獄的標(biāo)志之一。光接受愛是絕對不夠的；接受的愛應(yīng)當(dāng)能激發(fā)你奉獻(xiàn)出自己的愛，惟有當(dāng)接受的愛和奉獻(xiàn)出的愛等量存在時，愛才能達(dá)到它的最佳狀態(tài)。

3\Blood, Toil, Sweat and Tears

熱血、辛勞、眼淚和汗水

In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or former colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act.

在這生死存亡之際，如果我今天沒有向下院作長篇演講，我希望能夠得到你們的寬恕，我還希望，因為這次政府改組而受到影響的任何朋友和同事，或者以前的同事，會對禮節(jié)上的不周之處予以充分諒解，這種禮節(jié)上的欠缺，到目前為止是在所難免的。

I say to the House as I said to Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, sweat and tears.

正如我曾對參加本屆政府的成員所說的那樣，我要對下院說："我沒什么可以奉獻(xiàn)，有的，只是熱血、辛勞、眼淚和汗水。

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.

擺在我們面前的，是一場極為痛苦的嚴(yán)峻的考驗。

We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.

在我們面前，有許多許多漫長的斗爭和苦難的歲月。

You ask, what is our policy?

你們問：我們的政策是什么?

I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air.

我要說，在海上、陸地和空中進(jìn)行戰(zhàn)爭。

War with all our might and with all the strength God has given up, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime.

我們的政策就是用我們?nèi)�部能力，用上帝所給予我們的全部力量，同一個在人類黑暗悲慘的罪惡史上所從未有過的窮兇極惡的暴政進(jìn)行戰(zhàn)爭。

That is our policy.

這就是我們的政策。

You ask, what is our aim?

你們問：我們的目標(biāo)是什么?

I can answer in one word.

我可以用一個詞來回答：

It is victory.

那就是勝利。

Victory at all costs;victory in spite of all terrors;victory, however long and hand the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.

不惜一切代價，去贏得勝利；無論多么可怕，也要贏得勝利，無論道路多么遙遠(yuǎn)和艱難，也要贏得勝利，因為沒有勝利，就不能生存。

Let that be realized.

大家必須認(rèn)識到這一點。

No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.

沒有勝利就不復(fù)有大英帝國，沒有勝利就不復(fù)有大英帝國所象征的一切，沒有勝利就不復(fù)有多少世紀(jì)以來的強烈要求和沖動：人類應(yīng)當(dāng)向自己的目標(biāo)邁進(jìn)。

I take up my task in buoyancy and hope.

但是當(dāng)我挑起這個擔(dān)子的時候，我是心情愉快、滿懷希望的。

I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.

我深信，人們不會聽任我們的事業(yè)遭受失敗。

I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength."

此時此刻，我覺得我有權(quán)利要求大家的支持，我要說："來吧，讓我們同心協(xié)力，一道前進(jìn)。"

4\The Four Freedoms(Franklin D. Roosevelt)

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

我們力求安定的未來日子里,我們期待一個以人類四大基本自由為基礎(chǔ)的世界.

The first is freedom of speech and expression -- everywhere in the world.

第一是在全世界任何地方發(fā)表言論和表達(dá)意見的自由。

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way everywhere in the world.

第二是在全世界任何地方，人人有以自己的方式來崇拜上帝的自由。

The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants -- everywhere in the world.

第三是不虞匱乏的自由－－這種自由，就世界范圍來講，就是一種經(jīng)濟上的融洽關(guān)系，它將保證全世界每一個國家的居民都過健全的、和平時期的生活。

The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor -- anywhere in the world.

第四是免除恐懼的自由－－這種自由，就世界范圍來講，就是世界性的裁減軍備，要以一種徹底的方法把它裁減到這樣的程度：務(wù)使世界上沒有一個國家有能力向全世界任何地區(qū)的任何鄰國進(jìn)行武力侵略。

That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called “new order” of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.

這絕不是對遙遠(yuǎn)未來的幻想。在我們這個時代，我們這代人就可以在這一實實在在的基礎(chǔ)之上，建立起一個新的世界。這個世界是與獨裁者們想用炸彈炸出來的所謂暴政新秩序截然相反的。

Since the beginning of our American history we have been engaged in change, in a perpetual, peaceful revolution, a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly, adjusting itself to changing conditions without the concentration camp or the quicklime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.

自美國有史以來，我們一直致力于變革。這是一種從未間斷的和平革命，一種扎實漸進(jìn)的革命，悄然地進(jìn)行調(diào)整，以適應(yīng)變化多端的形勢，沒有集中營，也沒有萬人坑。我們所追求的世界新秩序是自由國家之間的合作，是自由國家在一個友好、文明的世界里同心協(xié)力，共同努力。

This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women, and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.

我們的國家已經(jīng)將它的命運交到她千百萬自由男女的手里、腦里和心里。她已將她對于自由的信仰交由上帝指引。自由意味著在任何地方，人權(quán)高于一切。我們支持一切為爭取、捍衛(wèi)這種權(quán)力而斗爭的人們。我們的力量就在于我們目標(biāo)一致。

To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

為了實現(xiàn)這一崇高的信念，我們不獲全勝，絕不罷休。

5\Hard Work Is Good for Health努力工作有利健康

Scientists find that the hard-working prestigious people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidences show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases correspondingly by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health.

Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from lonehness

英語長篇美文篇二：英語美文

self-confidence

Confidence is power --the power to attract,persuade, influence,and succeed.Imagine what your life would be like if you had an abundance of self-confidence!

Confidence isn't an inherited trait,it's a learned one.This means that you can have an abundance of self-confidence.Start here,right now.

Confidence starts in the mind.What you think of yourself very much influences the way you feel about yourself.This,in turn,affects the way you speak and act.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

自信

自信就是力量---吸引人、說服人、影響人并取得成功的力量。設(shè)想一下，如果你充滿自信，你的生命會是怎樣一番景象！

自信并非來自遺傳，是需要后天學(xué)習(xí)的。這就意味著，你也可以充滿自信。從現(xiàn)在、從這里開始。

自信必須首先從想法開始。你怎么樣看待自己，很大程度上就影響了你覺得自己怎樣。轉(zhuǎn)而也影響了你說話、做事的方式。

沒有你的默認(rèn)，誰也無法將你看低一等。

On A Quiet Night (靜夜思)

I saw the moonlight before my couch.

And wondered if it were not the frost on the ground.

I missed my head and looked out on the mountain moon.

I bow my head and thought of my far-off home.

The Importance Of Choice

Ladies and Gentlemen:I want to tell you something very important today.I want to tell you that life is about choices. You can choose to be miserable or you can choose to enjoy life.You can choose to improve your health or you can choose to destroy it. I hope you will make correct choices. I hope you will choose to enjoy your family,enjoy your friends,enjoy your work ,and enjoy your everyday life.Life is a gift and we really should enjoy every minute of it.Join the group of people who make good choices.Enjoy your life!

You prefer to face challenge all by yourself or depend on others As for me, I do not prefer to face challenge all by myself. First of all, people working together can share the resources of their own. That is also the reason why I like preparing the exam in group. We could discuss and solve questions with other members. In addition, as we know, if one face challenges all by him, he may feel lonely and helpless, and maybe someday he will choose to give up. However, if we face together, we may encourage and inspire each other. And this will help us to defeat the challenge more easily.

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 wonders, the unfailing appetite for 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 man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

譯文：

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，恢宏的想象，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(jìn)取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老，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。人人心中皆有一臺天線，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(fēng)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。

英語長篇美文篇三：把長篇英語文章一次轉(zhuǎn)為中文的方法

MEMS老師讓我們讀懂一篇長篇英語論文，這對我們可是一個巨大的挑戰(zhàn)（學(xué)電子的英語不強是硬傷�。�。找好pdf論文后，接下來便開始嘗試各種翻譯，金山快譯，有道翻譯，谷歌翻譯，bing翻譯??各種方法都是有長度限制，每次只能翻譯一部分，文章長了后需要復(fù)制粘貼多次，很麻煩。而且文章里一般都配一些圖，我希望翻譯后文檔圖片仍然保留，只是英文部分換為譯文。于是乎在百度，谷歌等各大引擎狂搜，翻了幾十頁網(wǎng)頁后，終于找到了一個方法（吐槽一下：百度提問許多人不是好好回答問題，人家說了谷歌翻譯試過了，希望一次都翻譯出來，他們還給人簡單的回答個用谷歌翻譯。鄙視一下�。。。�。接下來我把過程用圖文詳細(xì)寫出來。一、準(zhǔn)備工作

首先你的電腦必須得有兩個軟件，一個是adobe acrobat，一個是谷歌瀏覽器。adobe acrobat是專業(yè)的pdf編輯軟件，功能上完全秒殺adobe reader和福昕閱讀器，如何你平時只是閱讀pdf文檔，那福昕閱讀器就不錯，小巧而且功能也不少，如果你經(jīng)常編輯pdf文檔，那adobe acrobat是必備了，軟件有點大，安裝完1G多。它有哪些強大的功能，以及下載安裝和破解大家自行搜索吧，反正度娘很強大（記得安裝成專業(yè)版的，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)版的少一些功能）。還有一點，pdf不能是掃描版的，掃描版不能使用這個方法（如何看是不是掃描版自己搜索），我個人很討厭掃描版的，又模糊又體積大。第二個軟件是谷歌瀏覽器，看介紹說全球用戶量已經(jīng)超過了IE，用了用感覺是簡潔清爽。好了，廢話不說了，接下來開始教程。

二、具體步驟

1.你需要把你的pdf文檔另存為網(wǎng)頁形式。用adobe acrobat專業(yè)版打開文件后點擊“文件”-----“另存為其它”----“HTML網(wǎng)頁”

選擇存放路徑和文件名稱（我保存在桌面），你會看到多出這兩個文件

2.接下來使用谷歌瀏覽器打開剛才保存的網(wǎng)頁文件，選中文件單擊右鍵，選擇“打開方式”----谷歌瀏覽器
