英语散文篇一:优美的英语散文(2)

　　The younger man looked at her very sadly.‘Poor child!’ he said.‘You see，there"s nobody left alive in the house.So nobody can come.’
　　年轻一点的男人忧伤地看着她，“可怜的孩子!”他说。“听着，这幢房子里的人全死了，所以没有人能来照看你。”
　　In this strange and sudden way Mary learnt that both her mother and her father had died.The few servants who had not died had run away in the night.No one had remembered little Miss Mary.She was all alone.
　　以这样一种奇异而突然的方式，玛丽得知她的父母已不在人世，活下来的几个用人也趁半夜逃走了。没人想起年幼的玛丽小姐，就只剩下她一个人了。
　　Because she had never known her parents well，she did not miss them at all.She only thought of herself，as she had always done.
　　由于她跟父母并不亲近，也并不想念他们。像以前一样，她只想到了她自己。
　　‘Where will I live?’she wondered.‘I hope I"ll stay with people who"ll let me do what I want.’
　　“我该住哪儿呢?”她思量着。“我想跟那些让我想干什么就干什么的人在一起。”
　　At first she was taken to an English family who had known her parents.She hated their untidy house and noisy children， and preferred playing by herself in the garden.One day she was playing her favourite game，pretending to make a garden， when one of the children，Basil，offered to help.
　　一开始她被带到一户英国人家，他们认识她的父母。可她讨厌他们凌乱的房间和吵吵闹闹的孩子们，而宁愿一个人在花园里玩。一天，她正玩着最喜欢的造花园游戏，那家的孩子巴兹尔走过来想帮她忙。
　　‘Go away!’cried Mary.‘I don"t want your help!’
　　“走开!”玛丽大声喊道，“我才不用你帮忙!”
　　For a moment Basil looked angry，and then he began to laugh He danced round and round Mary，and sang a funny little song about Miss Mary and her stupid flowers.This made Mary very cross indeed.No one had ever laughed at her so unkindly.
　　巴兹尔呆站了一会儿，很生气，可很快又乐开了。他围着玛丽又蹦又跳，一边唱起一支滑稽的有关玛丽小姐和她愚蠢的花儿的歌。这可把玛丽气坏了，还从来没人这么刻薄地嘲笑过她呢!
　　‘You"re going home soon，’said Basil.‘And we"re all very pleased you"re leaving!’
　　“你就快回家了，”巴兹尔说。“我们真高兴你快走了。”
　　‘I"m pleased too，’replied Mary.‘But where"s home?’
　　“我也高兴，”玛丽答道。“可回哪儿的家?”
　　‘You"re stupid if you don"t know that!’laughed Basil. England，of course!You"re going to live with your uncle，Mr Archibald Graven.’
　　“你连这都不知道，可真够傻的!”巴兹尔笑道，“当然是英国!你要去跟你舅舅阿奇伯德·克莱文先生住了!”
　　‘I"ve never heard of him，’said Mary coldly.
　　“我从来没听说过他。”玛丽冷冷地说。
　　‘But I know about him because I heard Father and Mother talking，’said Basil.‘He lives in a big lonely old house，and has no friends，because he"s so badtempered.He"s got a crooked back，and he"s horrid!’
　　“可我知道，我听我爸爸妈妈谈论过他。他住在一幢孤零零的、又大又旧的房子里，一个朋友都没有，因为他脾气太坏了，他还是个驼背，可怕极了!”
　　‘I don"t believe you!’cried Mary.But the next day Basil"s parents explained that she was going to live with her uncle in Yorkshire，in the north of England.Mary looked bored and cross and said nothing.
　　“我才不信呢!”玛丽大声说。可是第二天，巴兹尔的父母解释说她将要到英格兰北部的约克郡，跟她的舅舅住在一起。玛丽显得又烦躁又恼怒，可什么都没说。
　　After the long sea journey，she was met in London by Mr Craven"s housekeeper，Mrs Medlock.Together they travelled north by train.Mrs Medlock was a large woman，with a very red face and bright black eyes.Mary did not like her，but that was not surprising，because she did not usually like people.Mrs Medlock did not like Mary either.
　　轮船在海上航行了很久，克莱文先生的管家梅洛太太到伦敦来接玛丽，带她坐火车去北方。梅洛太太是个高大的女人，红脸膛，长着一双明亮的黑眼睛。玛丽不喜欢她，这也没什么好奇怪的，因为她谁也不喜欢。梅洛太太也不怎么喜欢玛丽。
　　‘What a disagreeable child!’thought the housekeeper.‘But perhaps I should talk to her.’
　　“这孩子可真不讨人喜欢!”管家心里想。“不过也许我能跟她聊聊。”
　　‘I can tell you a bit about your uncle if you like，’she said aloud.‘He lives in a big old house，a long way from anywhere. There are nearly a hundred rooms，but most of them are shut and locked.There"s a big park round the house，and all kinds of gardens.Well，what do you think of that?’
　　“要是你愿意，我可以给你讲讲你舅舅的事。”她大声说。“他住在一幢很大的老宅子里，离哪儿都不近。那个宅子差不多有一百个房间，可大部分都是上了锁的。房子周围有一片很大的园林，还有各式的花园。你觉得怎么样?”
　　‘Nothing，’replied Mary.‘It doesn"t matter to me.’
　　“不怎么样，”玛丽答道。“跟我一点关系都没有。”
　　Mrs Medlock laughed.‘You"re a hard little girl!Well，if you don"t care，Mr Craven doesn"t either.He never spends time on anyone.He"s got a crooked back，you see，and although he"s always been rich，he was never really happy until he married.’
　　梅洛太太笑了，“你这个小倔丫头!好啦，如果你不在乎，克莱文先生自然也不在乎。他从不把时间花在任何人身上，他是个驼背，而且，尽管一直都很有钱，在他结婚之前他从来没有真正快乐过。”
　　‘Married?’repeated Mary in surprise.
　　“结婚?”玛丽惊奇地重复道。
　　‘Yes，he married a sweet，pretty girl，and he loved her deeply.So when she died—’
　　“是啊，娶了个温柔美丽的姑娘，他非常非常爱她。所以那姑娘一死——”
　　‘Oh!Did she die?’asked Mary，interested.
　　“哦!她死了吗?”玛丽感兴趣地问道。
　　‘Yes，she did.And now he doesn"t care about anybody.If he"s at home，he stays in his room and sees nobody.He won"t want to see you，so you must stay out of his way and do what you"re told.’
　　“是啊，她死了。所以克莱文先生谁也不关心了，他在家的时候就呆在屋子里谁也不见，他不会想见你的，所以你必须躲着他，照别人吩咐你的去做。”
　　Mary stared out of the train window at the grey sky and the rain.She was not looking forward to life at her uncle"s house.
　　玛丽望着车窗外灰色的天空和飘落的雨水，对于住在舅舅家的生活没有一丝期盼。
　　The train journey lasted all day，and it was dark when they arrived at the station.Then there was a long drive to get to the house.It was a cold，windy night，and it was raining heavily. After a while Mary began to hear a strange，wild noise.She looked out of the window，but could see nothing except the darkness.
　　火车走了一天，到站时天已经黑了。可离那幢房子还有很远的路，要搭马车才能到。这是一个寒冷的夜晚，风疾雨骤。过了一阵，玛丽听到一种奇怪的狂野的声音，她向窗外看去，可除了黑暗什么都看不见。
　　‘What"s that noise?’she asked Mrs Medlock.‘It"s—It"s not the sea，is it?’
　　“那是什么声音?”她问梅洛太太，“那——那不是海，对么?”
　　‘No，that"s the moor.It"s the sound the wind makes，blowing across the moor.’
　　“对，那不是海，是荒原的声音，是风吹过荒原时发出的声音。”
　　‘What is a moor?’
　　“荒原是什么?”
　　‘It"s just miles and miles of wild land，with no trees or houses.Your uncle"s house is right on the edge of the moor.’
　　“就是大片大片的荒地，没有树，也没有房屋，你舅舅家就住在荒原的尽头。”
　　Mary listened to the strange，frightening sound.‘I don"t like it，’she thought.‘I don"t like it.’She looked more disagreeable than ever.

英语散文篇二:英语经典美文

　　英语经典美文，人就像茶叶袋，只有放到热水中，你才能知道他们有多强大，以下的英语经典美文，希望可以帮到大家！
　　英语经典美文【1】
　　Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be - your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
　　有时，一些人一闯入你的生活你便知道他们本就想这么做，其中有着一定的目的——或给你一个教训，或帮助你明白你是谁或你要成为谁。你永远也不知道这些人会是谁，是你的舍友、邻居、教授、久违的朋友、爱人，甚或是一个完全的陌生人。当你与他们四目相对，你便知道他们会以某种深远的方式影响你的生活。

　　And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity - all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
　　有时，一些事情发生了，它们看上去是那么可怕、痛苦和不公;但细想一下你就会明白，如果没有去努力克服这些难题，你将永远也不会知道自己的潜能、力量、意志力和内心。任何事情的发生都是有原因的，没有一件事是偶然发生的或是因了某种好运或厄运发生的。疾病、伤害、爱、真正的伟大的消逝和完全的愚蠢

　　生活之路
　　The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and they despise the sprightly flitter that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them; they are good citizens, good husbands, and good fathers, and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting.
　　大多数人的生活被他们身处的环境所决定。他们不仅接受既定的命运，而且顺从命运的安排。他们就像街上的有轨电车一样，在他们既定的轨道上行驶，而对于那些不时出没于车水马龙间和欢快地奔驰在旷野上的廉价小汽车却不屑一顾。我尊重他们，他们是好市民、好丈夫和好父亲。当然，总得有些人来支付税收，但是，他们并没有令人激动的地方。
　　I am fascinated by the men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it in to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events, we have the illusion of it. At a cross-road it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or to the left and, the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world"s history obliged us to take the turning we did.
　　另外有一些人，他把生活掌握在自己的手里，可以按照自己的喜好去创造生活，尽管这样的人少之又少，但我却被他们深深地吸引着。可能世界上并没有诸如自由意志这样的事情，但是无论怎样，我们总有关于自由意志的幻想。当我们处在一个十字路口时，我们似乎可以决定向左走还是向右走，可是一旦做出选择，我们却很难意识到，实际上是世界历史的全部进程强迫我们做出了那样的选择。

　　挖掘黄金
　　When I was a young boy in Santa Cruz, California I used to help my Grandfather in the fields by his home. This was not his land but back in those days it was not unusual to barter with the neighbours to worked it for them so he could grow the vegetables that he loved. He would then share them with the neighbour for payment. He grew corn, beans, peas, zucchini, cucumbers and garlic. And nobody could grow bigger dahlias than my Grandfather.
　　在我很小的时候，我的祖父家住在加利福尼亚的圣克鲁斯城，我常常去祖父家附近的田地里帮他干农活。尽管那块田地是属于祖父的邻居，但在那个时候，邻居之间作实物交易是很常见的，所以祖父也能在那块田地种上自己喜爱的农作物。而作为报酬，在收割时祖父就与邻居们一同分享果实。祖父通常种植玉米、大豆、豌 豆、南瓜、黄瓜和大蒜。祖父的农艺很高超，就连他种的大丽花长得也要比邻居们种的高大许多。
　　As I worked along side him he used to love to tell this story of a named Giuseppe (Joe) and his wife who moved to a new farm with their three sons. They were settling into the new community when a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the dirt of his new property. Joe took that statement as that there was actual gold in the land. He thought to himself, "I have three healthy sons, I will tell them about it". Indeed he told his sons that there was gold to be found in their new property. Needless to say his sons actually took charge of their personal enterprise right on their own land. They had visions of what they would do when they found gold. Each son had a different vision. For as young as they were, they set up quite a professional approach in the digging for gold.
　　当我在一旁帮祖父干农活时，他总爱给我讲一个名叫乔的一家人的故事。故事是这样的:乔带着妻子和他们的三个儿子搬到了一个新的农场。当乔一家人住进一个新杜区以后，附近的一位农夫告诉乔说他的地里有黄金。乔昕后以为这片土地有真的黄金存在，就在心里暗想我有三个健壮的儿子，我应该把这件事告诉他们。"于是，乔告诉他的儿子说，在他们家的这块新地产上可以找到黄金。不必说，他的儿子们立刻去地里挖掘黄金了，就好像把这件事当成了自己的事业一样。他们幻想着找到黄金以后去做什么，但每一个人都有各自不同的梦想。因为他们如此年轻，还提出一个相当专业的挖掘黄金的方法。
　　They began in one corner with a certain width and kept going until they got to the end. Once they got to the property line they would start another swath and go back the other direction. They began to realize that digging for gold was fun! This procedure went on for about six months and they still weren through going through the whole property.
　　他们先从一个角落开始挖掘，并以特定的一个宽度继续向前挖，一直挖到这块土地的尽头。他们渐渐觉得挖掘黄金这件事充满了无穷的乐趣!就这样不知不觉，他们连续挖了六个月，仍然陶醉在拥有黄金以后的美梦里。
　　Meanwhile Joe thought he would plant some crops in the area where the dirt had been turned thoroughly. He planted corn, tomatoes, potatoesand onions. His sons continued to dig through the soil, determined to find gold. As more dirt was available. Joe planted more crops. An interesting point here is that Joe had never farmed before but it had always been a dream of his to do so.
　　与此同时，乔有了新的想法，他打算在这些彻底翻新过的土地上种一些农作物。于是，他开始种玉米、西虹柿、马铃薯和洋葱。而他的儿子们仍在这块土地上继续不停地挖掘着，一心想找到黄金。随着可利用的土地越来越多，乔的农作物也越种越多。有趣的是，乔以前从来不会种田，那似乎是他所不敢想象的，然而现在他却做到了。
