经典英语夜读美文篇一

A little girl’s dream

Dreams keep running through my mind

Reflecting memories of long ago.

Made in a land of fairy tales,

A place my heart longs for so.

Cut off from the rest of the world

With streams, and meadows to roam,

Viewed from a little girl's eyes,

A place that would always be home

A place where berries grew wild

Where rabbits and squirrels were seen

Where a racoon could be a friend

And deer played down by the stream.

A world where imagination made all come true

And a little girl could be a queen

Where daydreams were spun like cobwebs

But a world where everything wasn't what it seemed.

For every little girl has to grow up

And daydreams shatter in your hand,

You find the home you thought was your own

Is nothing but a simple piece of land.

The flowers don't seem to bloom so bright,

And fairy tales no longer come true,

For it is seen now through grownup eyes,

No longer the world that you knew.

But still...Somewhere in the back of my mind

That place will always remain

From all those memories long ago

To beckon me back time and again.

一连串的梦掠过我的脑海，

勾起我对很久以前的记忆。

缔造在童话里的那片乐土，

是我内心非常向往的土地。

那里与其他地方没有什么联系，

那里流淌着清澈的小溪，

和可以漫游的草地。

在小女孩的眼晴里，

我的家始终设在那里。

那里有着野生的各种浆果，

那里可以看到兔子和松鼠，

那里的浣熊可以成为我的朋友，

那里的鹿儿沿着溪流到处游历。

想象中的世界一切都可成真，

一个小女孩也可以成为女王。

可是白日梦似被捻成了蜘网，

世界上每件事远非都似想象。

每一个小女孩都必须长大，

白日梦破灭在你自己手里。

你找到的家只属于你自己，

不过是一小块简陋的土地。

花儿看来不会开得这样灿烂，

童话再也不会成真。

成人的眼睛来看现在，

不再是你所熟悉的那块土地。

但是....

那里将会永远驻留在

我心底里的某些地方。

来自往昔的所有回忆，

多次招手要我回到它那里。

Cherish rest of your life

It's hard, from within the storm of every day life, to see things with realperspective(远景，透视), to know what's important and what's simply pressing on our consciousness right now, demanding attention.

We have people emailing us for information and requesting action, we have phone calls and visitors and a long to-do list and a million chores(杂活，日常零星工作) anderrands(差使，差遣) to run and all of the slings and arrows of our daily reality … and yet, what is important?

Ask yourself this: if you suddenly found out you only had 6 months to live , would the thing in front of you matter to you?

Would those 20 emails waiting for a response matter? Would the paperwork waiting to be processed matter? Would the work you're doing matter? Would the meetings you're supposed to have matter? Would a big car and nice house and high-paying job and cool computer and mobile device and nice shoes and clothes matter?

I'm not saying they wouldn’t matter … but it's important to ask yourself if they would.

What would matter to you?

For many of us, it's the loved ones in our lives. If we don't have loved ones … maybe it's time we started figuring out why, and addressing that. Maybe we haven't made time for others, for getting out and meeting others and helping others and beingcompassionate(有同情心的) and passionate about others. Maybe we have shut ourselves in somehow. Or maybe we do have loved ones in our lives, but we don’t seem to have the time we want to spend with them.

When was the last time you told your loved ones you loved them? Spent good quality time with them, being in the moment?

For many of us, doing work that matters … would matter. That might mean helping others, or making a vital contribution to society, or creating somethingbrilliant(灿烂的，杰出的) and inspiring, or expressing ourselves somehow. It’s not the money that matters, but the impact of the work. Are you doing work that matters?

For many of us, experiencing life would matter — really being in the moment, finding passion in our lives, seeing the world and traveling, or just seeing the world that’s around us right now, being with great people, doing amazing things, eating amazing food, playing.

These are just a few ideas … but what would matter to you?

I highly recommend that you spend at least a little time now, and regularly, thinking about this question … figuring out what really matters … and living a life that shows this.

How do you live a life that puts a great emphasis on what matters? Start by figuring out what matters, and what doesn't. Then eliminate as much as you can of the stuff that doesn't matter, or at least minimize it to the extent possible. Make room for what does matter.

Make the time for what does matter … today. Put it on your schedule, and don't miss that appointment. Make those tough decisions — because choosing to live a life that is filled with the important stuff means making choices, and they’re not always easy choices. But it matters.

Spend time with your significant other, show them how important they are. Take the time to cuddle(搂抱，拥抱) with your child, to read with her, to play with her, to have good conversations with her, to take walks with her. Take time to be in nature, to appreciate the beauty of the world around us. Take time to savor the little pleasures in life.

Because while you might not have only 6 months to live, I'm here to break the news to you: you really do only have a short time to live. Whether that's 6 months, 6 years or 60 … it's but the blink of an eye.

The life you have left is a gift. Cherish it. Enjoy it now, to the fullest. Do what matters, now.

相信你会对她好好照料

Dear World:

I bequeath to you today one little girl ... in a crispy dress ... with two blue eyes ... and a happy laugh that ripples all day long and a flash of light blonde hair that bounces in the sunlight when she runs. I trust you'll treat her well.

She's slipping out of the backyard of my heart this morning ... and skipping off down the street to her first day of school. And never again will she be completely mine. Prim and proud she'll wave her young and independent hand this morning and say "Good Bye"... and walk with little lady steps to the schoolhouse.

Now she'll learn to stand in line ... and wait by the alphabet for her name to be called. She'll learn to tune her ears to the sounds of school-bells ... and deadlines ... and she'll learn to giggle ... and gossip ... and look at the ceiling in a disinterested way when the little boy across the aisle sticks out his tongue at her.

And now she'll learn to be jealous. And now she'll learn how it is to feel hurt inside. And now she'll learn how not to cry.

No longer will she have time to sit on the front porch steps on a summer day and watch an ant scurry across the crack in a sidewalk. Nor will she have time to pop out of bed with the dawn to kiss lilac blossoms in the morning dew.

No, now she'll worry about important things.

Like grades ... and which dress to wear ... and who's best friend is whose. And the magic of books and learning will replace the magic of her blocks and dolls.

And now she'll find new heroes.

For five full years now I've been her sage and Santa Claus and pal and playmate and father and friend. Now she'll learn to share her worship with her teachers ... which is only right. But, no longer will I be the smartest man in the whole world.

Today when that school bell rings for the first time ... she'll learn what it means to be a member of a group. With all it's privileges. And it's disadvantages too.

She'll learn in time that proper young ladies do not laugh out loud. Or kiss dogs. Or keep frogs in pickle jars in bedrooms. Or even watch ants scurry across cracks in the summer sidewalk.

Today she'll learn for the first time that all who smile at her are not her friends. And I'll stand on the front porch and watch her start out on the long, lonely journey to become a woman.

So, World. I bequeath to you today one little girl ... in a crispy dress ... with two blue eyes and a happy laugh that ripples all day long ... and a flash of light blonde hair that bounces in the sunlight when she runs. I trust you'll treat her well.
