经典英语美文(范文3篇)

第一篇：《青春》 Youth 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 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 as you are 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 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80. 中文翻译： 青春不是年华，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，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。

如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。

年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。

忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。

人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。

一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

第二篇：《微笑》 Smile Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile Smile, though your heart is aching Smile, even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you 中文翻译： 微笑吧，尽管你的心在隐隐作痛 微笑吧，哪怕那伤痛正撕裂你的心 当天空乌云密布，你也能挺过去 倘若你能微笑着面对恐惧与悲伤 微笑吧，也许就在明天 你会看见阳光为你绽放 用喜悦照亮你的脸庞 隐藏所有悲伤的痕迹 尽管泪水或许已在眼眶中打转 但就在此刻，你必须坚持努力 微笑吧，哭泣又有何用 你会发现生活依旧充满意义 只要你展露微笑 微笑吧，尽管你的心在隐隐作痛 微笑吧，哪怕那伤痛正撕裂你的心 当天空乌云密布，你也能挺过去 倘若你能微笑着面对恐惧与悲伤 微笑吧，也许就在明天 你会看见阳光为你绽放 第三篇：《论友谊》 Of Friendship A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. There's always going to be people that hurt you, so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you. Remember: Whatever happens, happens for a reason. How many people actually have 8 true friends? Hardly anyone I know. But some of us have all right friends and good friends. True friendship is based on mutual understanding and respect. A friend is not just someone to hang out with, but someone who will stand by you through thick and thin. Friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you know they're always there. Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is Forever Friendship. 中文翻译： 真正的朋友是一个可以援手帮助并感动你心扉的人。

总会有一些人伤害你，所以你要做的就是继续相信他人，只是在下次信任他人之前要更加谨慎。

在你想了解别人并期望别人了解你之前，先完善并了解自己。

记住：任何事情的发生都有它的原因。

有多少人可以拥有八个真正的朋友？就我所知，少之又少。

但我们每个人都有泛泛之交和好友。

真正的友谊是建立在相互理解和尊重的基础上的。

朋友不只是陪你消磨时光的人，而是会在你顺境逆境时都支持你的人。

朋友就像星星。

你不一定总能见到他们，但你知道他们一直在那里。

在生活中，有时你会找到一个特别的朋友；他只是你生活中的一部分，却能改变你的生活。

他会把你逗得开怀大笑；他会让你相信人间有真情。

他会让你确信，真的有一扇不加锁的门，在等待着你去开启。

这就是永远的友谊。
