英语美文摘抄 篇1
The five bridge has a small mountain bag called the fragrant Mount Lu. Dad said, "the weather is very good today. Let's go to the Mount Lu together." I was so happy I jumped three feet high, we went to the fragrant trail along the bend of the Mount Lu.
There are a lot of Avalokiteshvara at the foot of the mountain, which was placed a lot of offerings. We climbed slowly to the top of the mountain. The mountain is not big. There are many strange stones on the top of the mountain. These stones are very varied and interesting. They are like pictures. They are colorful. They are not seen with their own eyes. They are hard to believe. The stone beside an ancient Yellow hornbeam, yellow hornbeam is tall, very lush, seem to show all its vitality to us, so many green leaves, a cluster of heap in another cluster, without a gap. Look down with a condescending, distant hill, hazy partly hidden and partly visible surfaced in my eyes, verdant trees on the mountain, a wild profusion of vegetation. A piece of terraced fields like a beautiful, beautiful landscape painting, they are so vivid and full of vigour. A tall building on the street is so magnificent. There are rows of large factories in neat rows. All the roads are winding, and a car is coming and going. Although Mount Lu did not write Li Bai's Mount Lu so magnificent and spectacular, but I still think the can't help Li Bai's poem: Sunshine censer living purple smoke, a waterfall hung before the Sichuan. The flight is three thousand feet down, and it is suspected to be the nine day of the Milky way.
A peak in Mount Lu a fragrant posture, a stone and a state full of kindness, they are deep in my mind.

The dream for each of us, perhaps like Jin Yong's martial arts in a variety of martial arts cheats, deep and unpredictable, and hope, but finally it is perfected. Perhaps the dream is like this, when you want to feel very far away, but when you go to practice to achieve it is actually very simple, I have many dreams, but so far have not achieved a book, and this is not my dream, I just mind emptiness when the fingers gently knock the keyboard, put his head to the tiny things down, get free for second days to forget, because I wrote a lot of books, but none of this is finished, when the time is long, when I go to see, find yourself writing something really very bad, also all nearly ruined!
I don't know if I really want to write what, but it's clear to me that at this time he is very confused, so I don't know if I can write much after the last? What is a decent thing to write? I don't know all about it? Maybe sometimes it is these don't know, let us live more real!
I remember the word "Chinese partner", "what is the dream?" A dream is something that makes you feel happy and stick to it. " So dreams are for everyone or small or majority. Precisely because there are no two identical leaves in the world, so everyone's dream is not the same. It's because of dreams that our lives are colorful.

英语美文摘抄 篇3
The sky, a breeze blowing, the trees are still not moving around, the silence. A bosom is empty, see.
All the memories have sunk, the sea calm as a mirror.
The mood has been banished, before taking a seat, leaving a vacant heart, to rest in peace.
Life is too mixed, too much noise is full of every corner of life. Spirit is dusk day by day. He is always so vague, every step forward, to look a bit blurred, footsteps a little shake.
It is rare and quiet. In the morning, put a tea, sitting in the shade, Dankan tea tasted the feeling of floating, All sufferings have their reward. neither sad nor happy, no sigh.
Quiet, is a luxury, is a kind of desire. In the quiet and the air, the soul goes through the reality. A good, a pleasant, in the air of the spread, precipitated the irritation of the past, rinsed the weariness of the once.
Empty heart, is to say goodbye to the real world, is to remove the mask, is to get rid of the psychological burden, is a stop for yesterday.
Life is always changing, the reality needs more constant adaptation, constant self adjustment, even if there is a feeling that you can't find yourself.
Life is to have one side and lose while choosing and giving up.
Life does not need too much. Between gains and losses, as long as you work hard, everything is.
The heart is "empty", it is simple; simple, and happy.
Emptying the mind is to throw down all the quality of life, to kill the happiness and happiness of the life, is to let the tired spirit inhabit, is to find the peace of the heart.
In life, there are many things, but also involuntarily.
Life does not need much consideration. As long as you are sincere, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is the best answer to yourself.
The heart "empty", is pure; pure, easy.
Free the mind, is to let the heart light, is to better start...
英语美文摘抄 篇4
Life or what? What life disturbed? Look at the stars and stars in the sky.
The red dust has the love, how many concerns in the heart; the human being has the feeling, how many moved to leave the heart. For hurt feelings, love is pain, that an obsession capable of evoking praises and tears. The fall of the country, mountains and rivers, there are the "chunhuaqiuyue when, how many" know the past anguish; life without regret, did not move, it is the "Yin was pining away, and my end is not wide" melancholy; family from death, friends have gone, "among the clouds the fish in the water, it is hard to send" melancholy sigh. In fact, everyone did not hurt, for feeling trapped, but for the love of disturbance, breaking the mind shackles in the confusion, the life experience is the heart, why not joy, see clear, do not take a cloud.
Life is short, who does not love glory, splendour, wealth and rank? Who is not greedy for comfort and pleasure? From ancient to modern times, really can do Rongrubujing, not wealth shift and few people? People are tired of ups and downs, high official positions and riches, market game, how much bitterness will not regret. See other people's official career, always sigh: "why is the fate so unjust?" Look at the luxury cars of other people's famous cars and sigh, "Why are I always poor dad?" Buddha said that "All is void" perhaps we don't mind, but occasionally to relax, let the tired from flying, confused when walking the remotest corners of the globe, boredom climb the Great Wall, "Li Niao flying days, economy affairs, shrink back from difficulties, to see the valley." Why not make a return, The scenery is like a picture., see pictures of people.
What is eternal, is life and death, what is pain, is the sorrow of parting. Long life, how much life sadness can be broken? From the sensible start, witnessed a family away from our side, no matter whether go quiet, regardless of whether to go clear, we are eternal pain. "Lonely courtyard near Qingming, flowers in the wine, and last year disease." , "q-how can worry about, like a river flows to the east." Life always inadvertently passed, even the fear of death, but still the old life, the phrase "young" became the envy of many youth. In fact, life is like a star in the sky, not every star is shining in eternity. Every day there are meteors falling, and what is life? Seen the movie "Titanic" Tanzania, remember a saying: "enjoy life every day." May as well live more and more freely, in the life will be moved often in.
A student, the trials of a long journey, read out, the. The world, confused, how much love and hate, how much, how much time and high official positions and riches infested with countless confused. Let us open the shackles of the mind, try to find it in a free and easy life, no matter how success, no matter how the loss of life, to make his life full of brilliant splendor, no tears for the past, strive to live from life.
Learn and easy, need a reason. The Buddha said, "where to come, where to go." Every one of us is singular, when we come, when we go, we do not take a trace of love. Learn to put down, learn to choose, whether it is love, whether it Suifengerqu high official positions and riches. "There is nothing in my heart, where the dust is dyed." With this understanding, and how not easy?
Learn to be free and easy, need a pride. Mr Lu Xun said: "people can not have pride, but to have the characters." Could not understand, might as well try to curry favour, can not see the moon company, or rich arrogant corruption, as with the green mountains. "Life is priceless, near remote mountain are all in love." This free and easy is not proud!
It takes a lot of courage to learn to be free and easy. No matter how many ups and downs of life, no matter how much life, must have the courage to go ahead. "Don't listen to wear Lin Ye, why Yin Xiao and Xu, in light mangxie Katsuma, who is afraid of! Zhu Ren life." Do not fear the power, not the greed of wealth, with this courage, life can be called free and easy!

Just to add light to the life, add a few bright lights to the mood, and keep the eye away from the defects as much as possible, so that we can absorb the beauty, give the characters more sunlight, and make the articles more brilliant.
I know it's hard, because the dance of the word needs inspiration. And inspiration, often the most soft touch of the mind, but I want to work hard, after all, life needs a beautiful mood. So, I want to borrow a few idle, tearing a piece of cloud, to cover the; scoop scoop a few water injection, a simple rinse clear, messy mood; hold a few rays of sunlight, shining in the pour out words, the world turned gorgeous. I think in many years later, in the warm spring, there is a sitting on the flowers, brow, smiling when granny.

英语美文摘抄 篇8
Time rolled over, and a series of mottled years wandered in the heart. Ah, a long breath, flurried youth will be old.
Four years later, in the twenty-third summer of my life, I did not wish to be an independent, successful woman. I still rely on that immaturity, that kind of immaturity, that idealism. The double character of the neuroticism, the sensibility too sensitive, the reason too strong - is not so strong as it is, it is better to be self respecting.
I don't have too much ambition, leisurely living in small towns, accompanied by family members, give me warm; 32 friends, laughing, enough. With the dream of the pocket watch, carefully crawling in the complex society. Do not fight, no hurry, not urgent, waiting for which sky good hair, can be in sync with the world. Even if they stumble, at least see the scenery that others can't see.
I have always believed in the existence of fate and embraced everything that fate has given me. A meeting, a swamp, a period of time, or good or bad, there's already doomed. Cater to the graph, the color of life, happiness within, framed, make every moment of experience into its own love. I didn't beg to go back to the past or jump to the future. Maybe I didn't have an enviable job, no admirable companion, no Rong Huafugui's family background, but I didn't feel sad. Work hard and leave all the rest to time.
The warm air coerced Daoxiang, took my young frivolous. The huge straw hat blocked the hegemony of the sun, in the light and the shadow of the juncture, a leisurely mood to calm my anxiety once.
Always love travel and take the scenery along the road, love casually humming songs, love and love from friends, knowing smile sunflower and meeting the sun, love car through the streets empty. I think this is the mark of time that engraved me in the world.
Now, I rarely recall the past, it is a habit, and I have no time to take care of it. Feng Tang said, there are two kinds of grew up in the world, one is that one is forget not understand, the heart free. Everyone grew up in the latter way. Once, in the face of the fickleness of the world is hopeless, we are so sensitive, perhaps just a turn, I feel the world behind you. So we miss the past, remembrance as pure as white paper. Nostalgia, even sink, deep, unable to extricate themselves. We always say time changed. Otherwise, time only lets us move to a wider world. Gradually, we find a few like-minded partners, continued the unfinished dream, but is no longer as if it were raining flowers. We had read the heart Guadan, the fickleness of the world, when I look back, only to find that the past will eventually smoke. There will be ups and downs of life have sailed the seven seas.
I have a lot, many to even my own innumerable, such as the sunshine, such as flowers, such as a half circle still stop in my side of you. Years away vanity, going around in circles, life is still beautiful. Like the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, after the wind, but still brilliant, read the best of countless downtown, but still calm indifferent. Relentless years, let us catch the wind, also have love for years, we put on the dress. We live and continue to love, and why should we be melancholy?
The passage of time, will have a pair wise eyes can see through me, to know everything about me, including all the beautiful and desolate.
In July, it was hot, gorgeous, and full of sunshine.
Grow up, love yourself, be steady, and then love others.

Ah, beautiful Paris. For centuries this city has attracted the admiration of the world. The allure and charm of Paris captivate all who visit there.
Where can you discover the charm of Paris for yourseIf. Is it in the legacy of all the French rulers who worked to beautify their beloved city?

No matter where you look,you will find everyday objects transformed into works by art.
Spend some time in a quiet park relaxing on an oid bench. Lie on your back on the green grass. When you need refreshment, try coffee and pastries at a sidewalk cafe. Strike up a conversation with a Parisian. This isn't always easy, though. With such a large international population living in Paris, true natives are hard to find these days.
As evening comes to Paris, enchantment rises with the mist over the riverfront. You may hear music from an outdoor concert nearby classical, jazz, opera or chansons, those French folk songs.

John and Bobby joined a wholesale company togther just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to theposotion of manager but John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it anymore, tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.
The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought a moment and said, "Thank you for your criticism, but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your decision and take back your resignation."
John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelon. The boss asked how much per kg? John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to inform the boss $1.2 per kg.

My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, thinks more and explores in depth. Chances exists in the daily details. For the same matter, a more successful person sees more and farther so that he can find out an opportunity and catch it to realize his aim. If a person sees one year ahead, while another sees only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365times, how could you win?
英语美文摘抄 篇11
You cannot change the laws of physics ... but could physics actually enable us to travel through time?
It might sound crazy, but according to Einstein‘s theories, there‘s no logical reason why time travel isn‘t possible.
Time travel is clearly a trickier proposition than space travel,though. And prior to Einstein, it would have been deemed utterly impossible！ That‘s because the old idea about time was that it was like a cosmic metronome keeping a regular and constant beat throughout the universe. And it was thought to move in one direction only .
However, what physicists now know is that time is rather more flexible than the old “ Clockwork Universe” ideas they had it. And it was Albert Einstein who set the cat among the pigeons.
Einstein‘s theories about time and space were revolutionary. He became a celebrity--and not just in scientific circles. It‘s only since he published his theories that scientists have been able to demonstrate that space and time really behave the way he said they did.
In 1971, after Einstein‘s death, two scientists were able to carry out a crucial experiment. They used two atomic clocks, synchronized them, and placed one on a plane, while the other stayed in the same location on Earth. The plane then flew around the world for 80 hours. According to Einstein‘s theory, the clock on the plane would be expected to have lost time, due to being in motion over 80 hours compared to the clock on the ground. When they brought the clocks together and made a comparison, the clock on the plane was indeed a few nanoseconds slower than the other clock. The experiment was replicated in 1996 with advanced technology, and it was proved again--with an even bigger time difference this time. Which proves that not only is time “ warp-able” , but Einstein was arguably the greatest thinker the world has ever seen.
If it were possible, however, it would present some pretty knotty paradoxes... For example, what if someone or something traveled back in time and changed the ensuing future? And have you heard the one about the time traveller who dots back and forward in time and by means of various medical technologies is able to be his own father AND mother?! And besides, if time travel is possible, where are all the people from the future--surely they‘d want to come and meet us poor stranded 21st century beings?
英语美文摘抄 篇12
Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famousin all the literature of the world. They were spokenby Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are themost famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet wasspeaking not only for himself but also for everythinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live ornot to live, to live richly and abundantly andeagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely. Aphilosopher once wanted to know whether he was aliveor not, which is a good question for everyone to putto himself occasionally. He answered it by saying: "I think, therefore am." But the best definition of existence ever saw did another philosopher who said: "To be is to bein relations." If this true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. Tolive abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity of our relations.Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But apart from our regularoccupation how much are we alive? If you are interest-ed only in your regular occupation, youare alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned--poetry and prose, music,pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs--you are dead.
Contrariwise, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest--even more, a newaccomplishment--you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in a largevariety of subjects can remain unhappy; the real pessimist is the person who has lostinterest.
Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts, newfriends. What is supremely true of living objects is only less true of ideas, which are alsoalive. Where your thoughts are, there will your live be also. If your thoughts are confined onlyto your business, only to your physical welfare, only to the narrow circle of the town in whichyou live, then you live in a narrow cir-conscribed life. But if you are interested in what isgoing on in China, then you are living in China~ if you’re interested in the characters of agood novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people, if you listen intently tofine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion andimagination.
To be or not to be--to live intensely and richly, merely to exist, that depends on ourselves.Let widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let live!

英语美文摘抄 篇14
Sitting on the drippy, cold steps of Penn Station, sharing a smoke with a boyfriend. This Saturday night is scattered with drunks, and for once, we are not the drunkest; we do not smell the worst. Late-night, paranoid tourists don’t even stare—a few ask for directions. We are spreading our wet, waiting bodies all over that stone, watching stumbling silhouettes wrestle with the escalator.
She shuffles up the steps with the last of her strength. Her pink sweatpants are tinged with brown, and her feet are buried in city-stained bunny slippers. Her eyes look like they’ve seen so much sadness they’re forever doomed to apathy. They are eyes dazed with the work it takes to stay warm, and weary of the excess of privileged people. I’m looking at those glass eyes and thinking that she reeks of survival; that I’m too cold to move, and all I’m doing is waiting for the first train home.
Out comes her wrinkled, begging hand. We turn out our pockets and find nothing. The mouth of the station swallows her descending, dejected frame.
Light another smoke. We are pushing reluctant time forward as it digs its heels in at the dusty smells and sounds of old stories, at the sucking of smoke, at our involuntary shivers.
She’s back again. The wrinkled hand, heavy with pleading, is now answering.
She drops four warm quarters into my palm and says, “Get yourselves a cup of coffee. Merry Christmas.”
The station gulps her up again before we can say thank you.
英语美文摘抄 篇15
As I mourn the loss of daylight hours, I relish the gain in light with each leaf that falls.1 Autumn begins my survival for winter; without the leaves decent, I would be frightened by the lack of luster that only bright light can bring.2
Each time I step outside, more light appears. It’s slow, but apparent. Light seems to change just when I need it to. It’s as if nature is adjusting a balance— tree canopies3 sit on the left pan of the scale, light sits on the right. Brightness is balanced as the trees’ leaves fall. If the hours in the day are to lessen, then the leaves must move to bring in brightness.
There’s comfort under the canopy of trees. Shielded from the light, cooled by shade, and relaxed by the regulated radiance, trees’ leaves give me contentment.4
I’m also equally content sitting on the ground under an open sky, particularly in the winter.
Even though the falling leaves of autumn are warning us of winter to come, this process is a welcome necessity to balance the light for the shorter days. When it happens, I’m reminded of how much I miss the openness of the garden.
Winter
If I can’t control the length of day, I’m happy to lend a hand in the amount of light that lands on my garden, Helen’s Haven. Deciduous5 trees have been planted so I can balance the light in my winter garden and my mood. Creating seasonal tenor with the change in flora builds a better garden through diversity,6 and a way to add seasonal interest.
Even with the shorter days, I welcome winter to view the open garden. My garden is exposed and bright, the branches of the trees are bare and open for inspection. As I look up in my winter garden, the framework of my summer’s cathedral-like canopy forms uncluttered lines of communication for confessions.7 I share all of my professions8 as I tend to my land. Winter is not my favorite season, but I built a garden that allows me to enjoy this time more than I ever thought possible.
Spring
Just when I need it the most, the scale begins to tip9. The days are growing longer and the trees begin to leaf10. The leaves tend to improve my mood. Life all around me stirs11 as the days lengthen. Fresh and bright, most trees have glowing12 green leaves in spring. This wonder has me looking up to slowly watch the sky close in. As days broaden the balance changes—the tree canopy on the left pan of the scale fills in, the light on the right balances out. It’s perfection at its best.
Summer
The cloak of summer’s canopy—with a cathedral-like quality—reveals greenery hovering down,13 allowing sunlight to lightly kiss my cheek. The leaves of the trees are welcomed in summer to manage heat, intensity14, and length of the season. Comfort is sought under the canopy of the trees.
Then the cycle begins again.
If you’ve lived in an area for a period of time, you become programed15 to the seasons. Just when you’re ready for a change, the scales begin to tip, and it’s always in your favor.
