英语美文欣赏:中国的假期旅游
Travels on Holidaysin China
Nowadays, more and more people like to travel in their holidays. The other day I read a report about the ways people spend their holidays. It is reported that in recent yiars several new holiday habits have been developed. Among them, the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps.
From the report we can see that in 1990,40 percent of people stayed at home for holidays. But now the proportion has reduced to 9 percent. More people go out for fun. The proportion of camping and traveling abroad was increasing steadily, from 10 percent in 1990 to 38 percent in 2002, and 12 percent in 1990 to 26 percent in 2002 respectively.
People enjoy the fresh air, clean Water and green hills when they go camping in the suburbs. In 1990,38 percent people enjoyed going to the seaside while in 2002 only 27 percent prefer to go there. What great changes! Why did those changes appear? I think there are several reasons. First, it' s because people can afford traveling. Second, people prefer to pursue a high-quality and colorful life. Third, their attitudes to relaxation have changed.
Less people want to save much money by leading a simple life. In short, people's living standard today has been rising greatly.

The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.The one who got slapped felt hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face."
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "Today my best friend saved my life."
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?"
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

英语美文欣赏:《藏地密码》读后感
Recently, I read a Chinese monumental adventure masterpiece about Tibetan culture –“The Tibet Code.” "The Tibet Code" is the only great adventure novel about pursuit of Tibetan Buddhism andTibetmillennium secret history in the world. Reading this book, I have deeply felt something about the anchorage of life many times.
最近,我读了一部关于西藏文化的中国冒险巨作----《藏地密码》。《藏地密码》是世界上唯一一部关于藏传佛教的追求和西藏千年历史秘密的伟大冒险小说。读了这本书,我多次深切的感受到生命的脆弱点。
Still remember that, when the main hero in the novel Mr. Johnson sunk in the depth of the most dangerous and despairing abyss, his lover gave up for lost suddenly and then lost her breathing, lost her all hope and spirit support and tended to death. It’s the first time I have realized the strong power of the anchorage of life. Another example, when a person in the work who has found his lost wife more than seventeen years found that his wife had been killed, he seemed old instantly and lost himself suddenly. In the last seventeen years, all that the person left with was to seek his wife back one day.
仍记得,小说的主人公约翰先生陷入最危险和绝望的深渊的时候,他的爱人突然放弃了,接着就没了呼吸。她失去了所有的希望和精神支柱,想要寻死。这是我第一次感觉到生命的脆弱。还有一个例子是,一个人在工作的时候发现失踪了十七年的妻子已经被人谋杀,他好像瞬间苍老和迷失自己。在过去的十七年里,那个所剩的一切就是希望有一天能找回他的妻子。
These might be some kind of exaggerated in novel, but we have ever seen or heard the similar experiences in our real life. All these have t...

Write Your Own Life
书写你的生命
Suppose someone gave you a pen — a sealed, solid-colored pen.You couldn’t see how much ink it had.
假设有人给了你一枝笔,一枝密封的、纯色的水笔,里面有多少墨水你看不到。
It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things.You don’t know before you begin.
很可能刚刚试写几字便用干耗尽;也可能足以完成一部或几部杰作,永存于世,使世事为之大变。
Under the rules of the game, you really never know.You have to take a chance!
而这一切你在动笔之前却是一无所知。根据游戏的规则,你确实永远也不会知道,只能冒一下险。
Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.
而事实上,也没有规则说你就一定要做些什么。你大可以把笔搁在架子上、放在抽屉里,弃置不用,任墨水蒸发干净。
But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?
然而,如果你真的决定使用,你会做什么?怎么来做这个游戏?
Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word?
你会左计划、右计划,然后才慢慢下笔吗?
Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?
计划会不会太泛太多,根本就达不到写作这一步?
Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the...

英语美文欣赏:一只木碗
The Wooden Bowl
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass often milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather's direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old son watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back...
On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration.
It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties.
I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.
It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.
The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.
I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the end of today's proceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be. Business for that will be notified to M. P. 's at the earliest opportunity.
I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new go...

摘要:你曾经想到过的那个非凡的主意后来怎样了? 你是否因为觉得那只是个小小的念头而将其忽略了呢?

你在忽略那些小念头吗?
What happened to that brilliant idea that you once had? Did you ignore it because you thought that it was just a little thought ?

你是否考虑过, 如果你依照直觉行事,或是多用点心,当初那个小小的念头将会变成怎样?
Imagine a scenario ,where you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book , suddenly a light buld is turned on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind .

摘要:那就像是“蝴蝶效应”,你永远不知道最后的结果是什么。若回顾从前并改变创造你人生的众多时刻中的一个,随后的一切也会被改变。
“Thank you for your application. We would like to congratulate you,” the letter read. Those words can make your heart skip a beat and bring tears to your eyes. The feeling of following your dreams is inexplicableand proof that all your hard work was worth it.
“感谢你的申请。我们要恭喜你,”信上写道。那些话能使你的心为之一颤,让你热泪盈眶。追随梦想的感受是难以言喻的,并且证明你所有的努力都是值得的。
It is a signpost in life, a trail marker. It is a day you will never forget, the day you opened that envelope and your future was revealed. But what about all those days in-between—the ones that make and break you, the days that are nothing special.
那是人生中的一个标记,人生路上的里程碑。那是你永远不会忘记的日子,那天你打开那个信封,你的未来就随之展现。但是在你获得录取信之前的所有日子呢?那些使你成功也使你崩溃的日子,那些平平淡淡的日子。
Would you have received that acceptance letter had you not attended the college fair at your school? What if you had forgotten to send an essay with your application, would you have been rejected?
要是你那时没有参加学校的学院展,你还会收到录取信吗?如果当时在寄申请书的时候,你忘记附上一篇个人陈述,你会被拒绝吗?
In life, one step creates the next. Each day is of equal importance, no matter how good or bad. There is no moment in life that does not matter. Regardless of how insignificant, each choice, each day, each idea, is the birth of the next. Something simple can completely reshapeyour life. It’s just like the Butterfly Effect and you never know what is at the end. To go back in time and change one m...
