10、 in itself. 九月不僅僅是一個(gè)月份,它還是一個(gè)季節(jié)。 it begins with augusts leftovers and ends with octobers preparations, but along the way it achieves its own special satisfactions. september in its own time, at its own pace begins with the closing of the summer. 它始于八月的余熱,終于十月繁忙的準(zhǔn)備,但在這之間,它帶來了異常的滿足。九月,伴著它的時(shí)令,踩著它的節(jié)拍,翩然而

12、ays with the wind. september is like a busy squirrel in a tree, and sometimes like a lazy river. it is summers ripeness and richness that brought to a sweet september. 九月悄然給我們捎來了一絲秋意。它無聲無息地浸入霧蒙蒙的清晨,卻又在陽光煦暖的午后沒了蹤影。它躡手躡腳地跨過樹梢,掠過些許葉子,又輕踏一簇毛薊繞過山谷而去。它獨(dú)棲山頂,像十月黃昏中貓頭鷹的鳴叫;又同微風(fēng)嬉戲。時(shí)而如樹上的松鼠,忙得不亦樂乎;時(shí)而如慵懶的小溪,汩汩流淌

16、tate 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 adven

17、ture 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 spir

20、 譯文： 青春 青春不是年華，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，炙熱的戀情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進(jìn)取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。 歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚;熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。 無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺(tái)天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號(hào)，你就青春永駐，風(fēng)華常存。 、 一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而

21、生，即使年方二十，實(shí)已垂垂老矣;然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀信號(hào)，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時(shí)仍覺年 經(jīng)典英語美文故事五 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,

22、 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

23、descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. but if, in your fear, you would seek only loves peace and loves pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of loves threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of

24、 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 wounde
