高中英语美文摘抄（1）
There was once a guy who suffered from cancer, a cancer that can't be cured. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.
曾有一男孩，患了不治之癌。他才18岁，但生命随时会结束。一直以来，男孩都被困在屋子里，由他的母亲照料。男孩从未出去过，但他厌倦了一直窝在家里，想出去走一走。男孩因此询问他的母亲，并得到了母亲的同意。
He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.
男孩出了门，路过了许多家店。经过一家卖CD的音像店时他看了眼前门。男孩停了下来，并走回去又往店里看了看。他看见一个漂亮的女孩，年龄大约和他一般大。男孩意识到他一眼就爱上了这女孩。他打开了这家店的门，走了进去，什么也不看，就只看着她。男孩越走越近，直到来到这女孩坐着的前台。
She looked up and asked, "Can I help you?"
女孩抬起头来问道：“有什么需要帮忙的吗？”
She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there.
女孩笑了笑，男孩认为这是他见过的最美丽的笑容，他甚至想当场就亲吻这女孩。
He said, "Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD."
他说道：“呃…是的…嗯…我想买张CD。”
He picked one out and gave her money for it.
男孩随便挑了一张出来并把钱递给女孩。
"Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked, smiling her cute smile again.“
需要我帮你把它包起来吗？”女孩问，脸上又露出可爱的微笑。
He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store.
男孩点了点头，女孩走到前台的后面。回来的时候女孩拿着包装好了的CD，交给了男孩。他拿了过来，然后走出了这家店。
He went home and from then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn't. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual. He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn't looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out...
男孩回到了家。从那以后，他每天都会来这家店，买一张CD，然后女孩就给他包装起来。男孩把CD带回家，放进他的衣橱里。他还是很害羞，不敢把她约出来。他真的很想，但是他做不到。男孩的母亲知道了此事后，就告诉他，只管把她约出来就好了。于是第二天，男孩鼓起了全部的勇气，像往常一样来到了店里。像过去那样，他还是买了一张CD，而女孩也还是走到后面，回来的时候再把包装好的CD交给他。男孩接了过来，趁女孩不注意，他把他的电话号码留在了桌子上，然后跑了出去…
RRRRRING!!!
“铃铃铃铃铃铃…”
One day the phone rang, and the mother picked it up and said, "Hello?"
一天，电话响了起来。男孩的母亲接起电话说道，“你好？”
It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said, "You don’t know? He passed away yesterday..."
是那个女孩！！！男孩的母亲开始哭了起来，说道：“你不知道吗？他昨天就去世了…”
The line was quiet except for the cries of the boy's mother. Later in the day, the mother went into the boy's room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet.
电话里安静了下来，只听到男孩母亲啜泣的声音。之后，男孩的母亲来到了他的房间，缅怀她的'儿子。男孩的母亲想先看一看男孩的衣物。于是她打开了男孩的衣柜。
She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
在她的面前，是一摞又一摞的CD。看到这么多的CD，男孩的母亲感到很惊讶。她随手拿出一张，坐在了男孩床上。她拆开了包装，把CD拿了出来。一张纸条掉了出来。男孩的母亲捡起了纸条，开始读起来。上面写着：你好…我觉得你真的很可爱。你想和我出去约会吗？爱你的，乔瑟琳。
The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD...
男孩的母亲被深深打动了，拆开了另一张CD…
Again there was a piece of paper. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
又发现了另一张纸条。上面写着：你好…我觉得你真的很可爱。你想和我出去约会吗？爱你的，乔瑟琳。
Love is... when you've had a huge fight but then decide to put aside your egos, hold hands and say, "I Love You."
爱就是…当你万般挣扎过后，把自我放到一边，握住对方的手，说：“我爱你。”

GratItude and plentItude. They're the two ends of the same bone. CombIned, they're the marrow of mIracles. The structure of success.
感激与富足，是一根骨头的两端，两者合并，便会产生奇迹，构筑成功。
When I clear the mental clutter and focus on the present, I'm Instantly remInded of how blessed I am.
当我把错乱的思绪清空、着眼当下的时候，我突然意识到我是多么幸福。
Look Into your own lIfe. If you scrub away the make-up of IllusIon and ImpurItIes of jealousy — can you see the clarIty of grace? Can you understand how treasurIng what's rIght In front of you Is worth your tIme?
仔细看看自己的生活吧。如果把幻想和嫉妒扫出脑海，你清楚地看到生活的恩赐了吗?你明白你眼前的一切是多么珍贵、多么值得你花时间品味了吗?
GratItude grounds plentItude In the now. When you honor who you are, what you do, and what you have, your energy wIll change. You wIll start to glow. People wIll be drawn to you because that gratItude glow Is rare In our current culture. I'm hopIng to brIng It back.
感激是让你在当下感到富足的基础。当你热爱自己、热爱你所做的事、热爱你拥有的东西，你的能量就会改变，你会开始成长。人们会被你吸引，因为这种感激散发的正能量在当今的文化里是不可多得的。我很希望能把它带回到我们的文化中。
It's my desIre to kIck off a gratItude cascade throughout the world so that we may InspIre each other to lIve our best lIves yet.

我们每个人都有一份独特的天赋——感激。我希望我们都足够勇敢、足够谦逊，能够把我们这一神圣的潜能发挥出来。

While walking across an open, grassy field, I became excited as my hand swooped toward the ground like an eagle attacking its prey.
我走在一片开阔的草地上，就像老鹰捕食一样，我兴奋地将手朝草地里抓去。
I picked up half of a $5 bill. I continued to walk around looking for the other half but thought to myself it would be impossible to find it on such a windy day.
我捡到了半张5美金，我继续向前寻找另外半张，但是在这样一个大风天，我感觉到应该是找不到了。
As I lifted my head, I spotted the other half of the bill tangled in crabgrass.
我抬头时发现，另外一半缠在一片杂草中。
Somehow, finding two halves of a ripped $5 bill felt better than working for a twenty.
捡全一张撕破的5美金比挣到20美金，在某种程度上还要让我开心~

Mrs. Green was the manager of a large company and she frequently had to have meetings with other business people in a room in her building. She did not smoke at all， but many of the other people at the meetings did， so she often found the air during the meetings terrible.
One day，after an hour， her throat and eyes were sore and she was coughing a lot， so she called a big air conditioning company and asked them to work out how much it would cost to keep the air of the meeting room in her building really clean.
After a few days the air conditioning company sent in two estimates2 for Mrs. Green to choose from. One estimate1 was for $5，000 to put in new air conditioning， and the other was for $5.00 for a sign which said， NO SMOKING.
格林太太是一家大公司的经理，必须经常在她大厦内的房间跟其他的生意人开会. 她本人不抽烟，但是许多其他来开会的人却抽烟，所以她常常觉得会场里的空气令人难受.
有一天，开了一小时的会，她喉咙和眼晴都很痛，而且咳口嗽得很厉害，所以她就请了一家处理空气调节的大公司，请他们计算一下要花多少钱，才能使大厦会议室内的空气保持绝对干净.
几天后受理空气调节的公司开了两张估价单供格林太太选择. 一张是花五千元来安置新的空气调节设备，另一张是花五块钱买一个“请勿抽烟”的牌子.

From August 1st to August 15th I fasted from complaining. Yes, that's right. No more "I'm tired" grumbles at 3 p.m. at the office. No more yelling at cars that cut me off on 440. No more snapping at people for not listening. The highlight of the two week period? I validated that I'm not a terrible, negative person, AND optimistic people tend to live longer according to some studies. And I'm optimistic enough to believe these studies are the correct studies.
从8月1日那天起直到8月15日，我停止了对生活一切的抱怨。是的，没错。下午三点的办公室，再也不会听见我哀叹着：“我好累”。在440地区被抢了车道，我不会再大喊大叫。有人无视我的话，我也不会勃然大怒。这两周来最重要的发现是什么？我证明了自己不是个糟糕的、充满负能量的人。有研究表明乐观的人一般更长寿，而且我足够乐观，相信这些研究是正确的。
So here you go: The top five things that occurred when I stopped complaining, both the good and the bad.
那么接下来，我想谈谈自己停止抱怨生活之后的五个变化，其中有正面的，也有负面的。
1. I realized that I don't sleep enough. The biggest complaint that I had to bite my tongue on?
1、我意识到自己睡眠不足，这是最不该挂在嘴边的抱怨吗？
"I'm tired." Or a variation of "I'm exhausted." American culture leaves us seeking to thrive off of no sleep and Starbucks. And is it really worth it to feel that negativity quite literally every day? I found myself almost getting annoyed with myself for being so tired. On the same note, I annoyed myself when I felt like uttering the complaint, "I'm starving." No, Alexii. You don't actually know what it really means to be hungry (so maybe you aren't THAT tired either).
“我好累”，或者，“我要累死了”。美国文化迫使我们在不足的睡眠和一杯杯咖啡中度日。每天生活在这样的负面环境中真的值得吗？连我自己都很烦恼，为什么要把自己折腾得这么累。同样，当我想要喊出“我要饿死了”的时候，也十分烦恼。不，Alexii，你并不知道什么叫真正的饿吧（所以也许你也并没有自己说得这么累）。
2. I argued less.
2、我吵架的频率变少了。
I'm not exactly one to pick a fight, but I noticed how many stupid arguments I can have in a week. If my fiancé Alex said something I disagreed with, I couldn't immediately react. This helped me not snap -- and more importantly it made me think before anything came out of my mouth. I'm pretty sure we've been told since kindergarten, "Think before you speak" but I noted how often I neglect this simplest piece of advice.
我不是那种喜欢挑事的人，但我还是会发现一周里自己有过多少次愚蠢的争吵。如果我的未婚夫艾利克斯说了一些我反对的话，我不会马上回应他。这样我就不会大声吼他，更重要的是，这样我就有时间在说话前多思考思考了。我确信从幼儿园开始，大人们就告诉我们“三思而后言”，但我觉得我还是很容易忽视这个最简单的建议。
3. Angst builds up.
3、焦虑感增加了
Here's the deal: this experience was overall a positive experience for me. It truly made me reflect on my reactions to situations. That being said, sometimes people just need to vent. There was one day that I came home completely exhausted and slightly emotionally distraught. Instead of engaging in conversation with my friend that was at my house or my fiancé, I straight up shut down. It's almost as if I didn't know how to be positive in that moment. It was strange. And I went to bed early that night. But on a lighter note...
是这样的：这种体验对我来说是有好处的，它真的使我反省自己在特定处境下的行为。话虽如此，有时人们只是需要释放情绪而已。记得有一天我回到家，身心俱疲，心烦意乱。我没有找当时在我家中的朋友或是未婚夫聊天，而是直接陷入沉默。仿佛那时我根本不知道怎样让自己乐观起来，太奇怪了。那晚我很早就睡了，但反而感觉轻松了很多……
4. Negativity is a state of mind.
4、负能量是一种心境
When you stop yourself from uttering negative speech, you begin to notice how negative your thought process tends to be. Sure I didn't verbally complain when I was tired or annoyed -- but I still continued thinking them. And as much as negative speech can wear you down, negative thoughts are just as dangerous.
当你不再说出那些消极的话语，你会发现自己还是会有那些消极的想法。诚然，我言语上没有抱怨疲劳或是烦躁，但我依然有着这样的想法。和消极的话语一样，消极的想法一样会消磨你的意志。
5. I prayed more.
5、我尝试更多的祈祷
If I was forced to turn the negative into the positive, I turned to God. Perhaps its from prior experience--but for whatever reason, it happened. And my spirit felt nourished.
如果我一定要把负能量转为正能量，我会向上帝求助。也许是从前的经验吧，不管怎样，我感受到了精神上的洗礼。
And at the end of the day? Shit happens. After my fast from complaining, I had what may have been one of the worst days I had experienced. Imagine tough conversations that were draining but necessary (and even worse after the conversation, nothing was resolved) compiled with other people's negativity. Then add a few "first world" problems as I like to call them -- a poor night's sleep, a shattered phone, and a stalling car. What did I do? I complained. Where did it get me? Not too far. I noted a day later that things really aren't that bad. People have good days and people have bad days -- but the truth is? It's all about your outlook.
最后怎样了呢？糟糕的事情还是发生了，在我拒绝抱怨之后，我经历了非常糟的一天。想象一下：艰难的谈话使你心力交瘁（更可恶的是谈完之后什么都没有解决），你不得不承受着别人的负能量。接着还有那些我称之为“第一世界”的麻烦困扰着你——睡眠不足，手机被摔坏，车子抛锚。我是怎么应对的？我抱怨了。持续了多久呢？没有多久，因为后来我明白其实事情也没有想象的那样不堪。世事无常嘛，关键在于你怎样看待这个世界。
