英语美文摘抄（一）

When Love Beckons You

When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

But if, in your fear, you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.

Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

爱召唤

当爱召唤你时，请追随她，尽管爱道路艰难险峻。当爱羽翼拥抱你时，请顺从她，尽管隐藏在其羽翼之下剑可能会伤到你。当爱向你诉说时，请相信她，尽管她声音可能打破你梦想，就如同北风吹落花园里所有花瓣。

爱会给你戴上桂冠，也会折磨你。爱会助你成长，也会给你修枝。爱会上升到枝头，抚爱你在阳光下颤动力嫩枝，也会下潜至根部，撼动力你紧抓泥土根基。

但是，如果你在恐惧之中只想寻求爱平和与快乐，那你就最好掩盖真实自我，避开爱考验，进入不分季节世界，在那里你将欢笑，但并非开怀大笑，你将哭泣，但并非尽情地哭。爱只将自己付出，也只得到自己。爱一无所有，也不会为谁所有，因为爱本身就已自足。

爱除实现自我别无他求。但是如果你爱而又不得不有所求，那就请期望：

将自己融化并像奔流溪水一般向夜晚吟唱自己优美曲调。

明过多温柔所带来苦痛。

被自己对爱理解所伤害；

并情愿快乐地悲伤。

在黎明带着轻快心醒来并感谢又一个有家日子；

在黄昏怀着感恩之心回家；

然后为内心所爱之人祈祷，吟唱赞美之歌，并带着祷告和歌声入眠。

英语美文摘抄（二）

Be Happy!

“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield

when I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true.

But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.

Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.

Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment ---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud.

Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable.

Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.

Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall.

Happy, the wall crumbles.

The long vista is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you----people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger scene.

Everything assumes a fairer proportion. And here is the beginning of wisdom.

“快乐日子使人睿智。”

——约翰·梅斯菲尔德

第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲尔德这行诗时，我感到十分震惊。他想表达什么意思？我以前从未对此仔细考虑，总是认定这行诗反过来才正确。但他冷静而又胸有成竹表达引起我注意，令我无法忘怀。

终于，我似乎领会他意思，并意识到这行诗意义深远。快乐带来睿智存在于敏锐洞察力之间，不会因忧虑而含混迷惑，也不会因绝望和厌倦而黯然模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。

积极快乐 – 并非单纯满意或知足 – 通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起春雨，或是花蕾突然绽放。然后，你就会发觉与快乐结伴而来究竟是何种智慧。草地更为青翠，鸟吟更为甜美，朋友缺点也变得更能让人理解，宽容。快乐就像是一副眼镜，可以矫正你精神视力。

快乐视野并不仅限于你周围事物。当你不快乐时，你思维陷入情感上悲哀，你眼界就像是被一道墙给阻隔，而当你快乐时，这道墙就会砰然倒塌。

你眼界变得更为宽广。你脚下大地，你身边世界，包括人，思想，情感和压力，现在都融入更为广阔景象之中，其间每件事物 比例都更加合理。而这就是睿智起始。

英语美文摘抄（三）

The Goodness of Life

Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed.

For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, kindness and compassion.

For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.

There is goodness to life that cannot be denied.

In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details, look closely, for that goodness always comes shining through.

There si no limit to the goodness of life. It grows more abundant with each new encounter. The more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.

Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be cov ered in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives on. Open your eyes, open your heart, and you will see that goodness is everywhere.

Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks, it always endures. For in the darkest moment it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure.

And so the goodness of life is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.

Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life was really only a moment away.

Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and delight you.

Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts. Then, share your good fortune with another.

For the goodness of life grows more and more magnificent each time it is given away.

Though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage ever stronger, the goodness of life grows stronger still, quietly, peacefully, with more purpose and meaning than ever before.

无数次地，当你担心这美好已经远离之时，你会发现生命美好其实只与你相隔须臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每个时刻之间，等着给你惊喜。
