经典英语散文：品味现在

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

To reach out for another is to risk involvement.

To expose feelings is to risk rejection.

To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule.

To love is to risk not being loved in return.

To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.

He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love.

Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave.

He has forfeited his freedom.

Only a person who takes risks is free.

散文翻译：

想大笑，可却要冒会让自己显得很傻的风险;

想哭泣，可却要冒会让人感觉自己很伤感的风险;

想接近其他事，可却要冒会让自己受牵连的风险;

想吐露心声，可却要冒会遭人排斥的风险;

想向大家说出自己的梦想，可却要冒会遭人奚落的风险;

想爱一个人，可却要冒别人会不爱自己的风险;

想面对机会勇往直前，可却要冒会遭受失败的风险。

但是，冒险是一定要冒的，因为生活中最大的危险的事是不冒任何风险。

不冒任何风险的人将一事无成，一无所有，一无是处。

他可以把苦难和辛酸规避掉，但是他不能从中学习、感受、改变、成长和爱。

被万事确定无疑才去干的心态束缚着，他就是个奴隶，

他丧失了自己的自由。

只有敢去冒险的人才是自由的。

###经典英语散###文：一个人的空间

Today is the first day of the rest of my life;

I can fill it with joy, I can fill it with strife.

I can follow the world and do my own thing,

or follow the Lord, reap the blessings He'll bring.

No longer a child, I can make my own way.

I can choose what to do with my life every day.

I'm dependent on God though for the air that I breathe,

for the warmth of the sun, for the health that I need,

for protection from harm as I walk down the street,

for providing strong faith so I won't meet defeat.

He reminds me that all that I have comes from Him

and He loved me enough to die for my sin.

He gives me a choice, now I must decide

as I graduate, will I walk by His side?

Yes, I'll walk the straight path from now to the end,

trusting completely my Savior, my Friend.

Thanking Him, praising Him, for all that He's done;

I'm looking ahead

my future's begun!

散文翻译：

今天，是我生命的第一天;

生活充满喜悦，生命拼搏进取。

我追随着这个世界，做自己的事情，

或者，追随着上帝，收割着他给我带来的祝福。

我，已不在是个小孩子了，我有我主张。

选择每天要做的事情。

我依赖着上帝，因为我每天需要呼吸空气，

需要阳光的温暖，需要健康的身体，

走在大街上的时候，需要远离伤害，

需要坚强的信念，来支柱我不会遭遇失败和打击。

他提醒我说我所拥有的都是他给予我的

他爱我爱得到死，因为我的罪恶。

他给我一个选择，而我现在必须做出选择……

毕业后，我是否还会站在他的一边?

会的，我一生都会把这条“笔直”的道路走下去的，

我完全相信我的救世主基督，我的朋友。

我要感谢他，歌颂他，因为他做了那么多的事情;

我向前望去……

我的未来开始启航了!
