Youth is not a time of life; itis a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and suppleknees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of theemotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamentalpredominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over thelove of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobodygrows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Yearsmay wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is inevery human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’snext and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and myheart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty,hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you areyoung.
When your aerials are down, andyour spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, thenyou’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catchwaves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
However mean your life is，meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.
It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life，poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant，thrilling，glorious hourss，even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there，and have as cheering thoughts，as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.
May be they are sim* great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb，like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things，whether clothes or friends，Turn the old，return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield
when I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.
Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.
Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment ---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.
Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall. Happy, the wall crumbles.
The long vista is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you----people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger scene. Everything assumes a fairer proportion. And here is the beginning of wisdom.

In smoky clubs, bars and cafes across America and Europe people are all doing the same thing: enjoying the inventivesounds and style of jazz.
在美国和欧洲那些烟雾弥漫的俱乐部、酒吧和咖啡馆中，人们都在做着同一件事情：享受着爵士乐的独特乐音和曲调。
Jazz is an advanced art form with a rich lustory . It has been called Americas classical music. Why? Well, for one, its been around for a long time-over 100 years. Also, its reputation for complicated improvisationmeans its often approved of by academics in a way that pop is not,
爵士乐是一种高尚的、历史悠久的艺术形式。它曾被称做美国的古典音乐。为什么呢?原因之一是它的历史源远流长 有100多年之久。同时，它以复杂莫测的即兴创作著称，这意味着在某种方式上它总是能够得到学者们的认可，而流行音乐则不行。
New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz. It started among the big brass bands of the citys black ghettos at the end of the 19th century. The new music took inspiration from two very different musical traditions. It combined the rhythm of West African dance music with the harmony and melody of European classical.
新奥尔良是爵士乐的发源地。爵士乐于19世纪晚期兴起于城市黑人区的大铜管乐队。这种新音乐的灵感来源于两种极其不同的音乐传统。它将非洲西部舞蹈音乐中的节奏和欧洲古典音乐中的和声和旋律结合在了一起。
Everyone has that period in which they find those who are close to them start to seem annoying .
每个人都会经历这样的时期：发现身边那些亲*的人开始变得有点烦了。
You suddenly realized that they've always been talking and talking.
你会突然意识到，长久以来他们就一直不停地在说啊说。
They never stopped.
他们从来就没有停过。
Some of us get angry with them,thinking they are trying too hard to intervene in our lives.
我们中的有些人，会开始变得愤怒，觉得他们对我们的生活介入太多。
But don't.
但是，请不要愤怒。
Only those who really care about you will bother saying so much to you.
只有那些真正关心我们的人才会费劲对我们说这么多。
It's just that maybe they don't know the right way to put it.
只是，他们可能并不知道正确的相处办法。
Some of them push too hard because they care too much.
他们中有些人逼得太紧，那是因为他们太在乎。
Some of them speak too much because they worry about you too much.
他们中的有些人说得太多，那是因为他们太担心你。
They do this because they love you.
他们这么做，都是因为爱你。
So don't push them away.
所以，不要将他们拒于千里之外。
Just find a way to let them know what you truly want.
去找一个办法告诉他们你真的想要的是什么吧。
And let them grow with you.
并且去让他们和你一起成长。
That will make both of you happy.
那会让你们双方都过得幸福。
Believe me.
相信我。
However mean your life is,meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The faultfinder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hours,even in a poorhouse.

译文：
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。
夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。
视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的.朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
The strong, calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shadegiving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. "Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweettempered, balanced life?" It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character, which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold — yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money seeking looks in comparison with a serene life, a life that dwells in the ocean of truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the eternal calm!

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded *s. High should be allowed more time for play. Plying is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当念书，但是要想长大成为健全的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在浪费时间，它可以让学生锻炼身体，发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。此外，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底，有一座无线电台，它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就会年轻多长时间。
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
人的生命应当像河流，开始是涓涓细流，受*的限制而十分狭窄，尔后奔腾咆哮，翻过危岩，飞越瀑布，河面渐渐开阔，河岸也随之向两边隐去，最后水流*缓，森森无际，汇入大海之中，个人就这样毫无痛苦地消失了。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致，更主要的是不思进取的结果。
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
光阴可以在颜面上留下印记，而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹。烦恼、恐惧、缺乏自信会扭曲人的灵魂，并将青春化为灰烬。

译文：
青春
青春不是年华，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，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

——英语简单美文短篇摘抄(精选五篇)
It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful. In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic. I consider this an unchangeable truth.
How can a student love his country? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.
要使国家富强是每个公民的责任。为了达到此目的，必须爱国。我认为这是一条不易的定理。
一个学生如何才能爱国呢？我发觉答复很简单明了。他必须用功读书并积储知识以便将来服务国家。如果每个学生能按照我所说的去做，国家一定会富强。
It goes without saying that work without rest will do harm to health. In other words, we had better take sufficient recreation to relax after work.
There is no doubt that there are a number of amusements, such as playing ball games, collecting stamps, fishing, gardening, skating and so on.
As for me, I take great delight in gardening. Whenever I am at leisure, I am accustomed to growing flowers. I regard them as my mostagreeable companion.
不需说，工作而不休息会对健康有害的。换句话说，我们最好工作后，从事分的消遣来轻松一下。 无疑的，消遣的种类很多，诸如打球，集邮，钓鱼，园艺，溜冰等等。
就我而言，我大大喜欢园艺。每当我有闲暇的时候，我*惯于种花。我把它们看作是我最称心如意的伴侣。
Education is the very thing that we want to receive. Our parents send us to school so as to enable us to get (obtain) knowledge and achieve great things in the future. The following are the duties of a student (which) we should keep in mind. In the first place, we should be filial to our parents and respectful to our teachers. In the second place, we have to (must) study as hard as we can. Last of all, we must not tell lies. To sum up, the above-mentioned rules are the very duties of a student.
教育就是我们要接受的东西。我们父母送我们上学以便能使人们获得知识与将来成大事。下面是我们应该记住的学生的责任。 我们应对父母要孝顺，对老师要尊敬。我们要尽可能的用功读书。最后，我们切不可说谎。 总而言之，上面所说的规则就是我们应尽的责任
I would rather suffer hardships than fail. In other words, to achieve success is my only desire. We all know that there are many factors of success. Now let me write down the most important ones in the following.
Diligence — Foolish as a person is, he can succeed in his work if he works hard. That does not admit of any doubt. Perseverance — When you fail, don't lose heart. Keep on working until you accomplish your aim. Honesty—If you tell lies or does not keep your word/promise, no one will rely on you. I would rather be scolded than cheat (others).
我宁愿受苦难不愿失败。换句话说，获致成功是我唯一的愿望。我们大家知道成功要素很多。现在让我们把它们最重要的写在下面。
勤勉――一个人虽然不大聪明，但是他地能做成他的工作，如果他苦干的话。那是不容置疑的。
毅力――当你失败的时候，不要灰心。要继续工作，直到你达到目的为止。
诚实――如果你说谎或不守信，没有人会信赖你。我宁愿挨骂不愿欺骗人。
When someone disagrees with you or offends you, don’t lose your temper. Why? Because it is of no use to do so. You ought to be patient and keep calm lest you should quarrel with him. You must know that patience is not cowardice, but a virtue. I hope that everybody practices it.
In addition, patience will also bring us success. When you meet with difficulties in your work, it is no use losing heart. You must keepon fighting until the final victory belongs to you.
当有人和你意见不同或开罪你的时候，你切不可发脾气。为什么？因为这样做是无用的。你应当忍耐并且保持冷静，唯恐和他争吵。你必须知道忍耐不是弱而是一种美德。我希望人人都实行它。
另外，忍耐也会带给我们成功。当你在工作中遭遇到困难的时候，灰心是无用的。你必须继续作战直到最后胜利属于你为止。

回眸处，历史的光芒穿刺迷眼，我似乎可见远古的蛮荒处夸父那如飞的箭步，踏破尘土，踩碎气象，朝着那火红的太阳永不停息地奔跑着。
奔跑的力量震烈了山河，震出了世界，那不曾停下的步子带领着人类走出了矗立的谷，万尺下的深渊，走出了文明之路。
侧视时
侧视时，我看见那峥嵘岁月里，孙中山奔走于乱世镇静的脚步，那脚步曾停留在李鸿章的府衙，曾踏上过北上的火车，曾奔跑于起义的山冈之上。
那不知疲倦的奔跑的姿势，终使他赶上了时代的浪尖，冲碎了千百年来不变的封建桎梏。
凝神望
凝神望桥上车水马龙的过往，以卞之琳《断章》中的姿态，时而见到孩童背着手执着这样那样的器具快步走在去补*班的路上;或是看到小商小贩背着行囊跑向欲走的公交车时的情状;亦或见到笑脸洋溢的成群的老人们迎着朝阳一路小跑……
似乎谁都在跑，都在追赶着什么，那跑动时被风吹起的发丝，顺颊而下的汗珠，鞋上溅起的水花总是给人生命的蓬勃之气。
静思之，不觉置疑，那永远保持不变的奔跑状态从何而来?
是因为夸父对太阳的渴望吗?是孙中山对现实的不屈吗?是小孩对前途的希翼吗?还是那生活的坚难所需，或是那不服老的心呢?
再思量，不禁顿觉，人的一生好似征程，每个人都背着该负的重跋涉奔跑。
奔跑即为生命的历程，而最重要的是，那些奔跑的姿态背后，是人们对生命不被磨灭的追求!
再回眸处，再侧视时，再凝神望，生命的价值熠熠生辉，征程中，我们奔跑着，留下或多或少的痕迹，怀着独一无二的心情，追着太阳，追着浪潮，追着生命，追向心中的夏花灿烂处。
如夏花般，开得无比绚丽。
“轰隆”一声，*静的江面冒出一朵小小的磨姑云，很快归于*静，只见白花花的雅鱼漂满了江。
秋天的早晨有些阴冷，天空中又飘着细细的雨丝，我和父亲都是旱鸭子，父亲只得将铁钩绑在一根长长的竹竿上顺着水势把飘浮在江面上的鱼捞到河边的乱石堆里，有的已经死亡，有的似乎震晕过去还在乱石上不停跳动。
看来运气不错，父亲边捞鱼边喃喃自语，我则神情专注地准备捞一条飘到江中心去的大花鱼，只是手中竹竿不够长，唯有静静等待，江水回旋的时候会自动把鱼送回江边就可以轻而易举把它捞上岸，面对自然的力量，人们虽不能改变，但是可以认识并利用它。
鱼捞得差不多的时候，时间已经整整过了两个小时，那么多鱼该怎么处置呢？“除了家里饱餐一顿外送几条给隔壁张大爷，剩下的卖出去赚点钱补贴书学费”，父亲果断做出安排，滴水的背兜在背上往下沉，人迹罕见的沙滩留下四只深深的脚印，空气中还弥漫着一股刺鼻的气味，*静的江面有一股让人敬畏的力量在日夜不停地奔流，受了惊吓的鱼儿恢复了往日的*静生活，在江水中自由自在地游来游去，寻找可口的虫虾泥沙。
从早春到盛夏，从初秋到晚秋，驻足清河桥边，看浮萍沉浮于荡漾水波泛涟漪，看芳华繁谢于河畔满天飞，亦会想起某君，或感慨人生起伏，忙时无奈，闲时感慨，如是而已。
天上一朝暮，地上一春秋，社会上起起落落，人生几沉浮，本是生生不息轮回，奈何空叹感时花溅泪
脚下几点新绿，头顶一片青天，岸边柳树已逝去昔日里的万条垂下的繁茂，清洁工努力清除它们季节性遗落的痕迹，光尖的枝头瑟瑟风中稍显落幕的孤独。
在香消芳飞的日子里，在红衰绿减的时节中，几处新草展示它们独特的顽强，冷月傲雪，衔霜饮风，在缺少绿色的季节，为大地添几许生命的颜色。
远山下炊烟袅袅，风吹叶落萧萧。“碧云天，黄叶地，西风紧，北雁南飞，晓来谁染枫林醉，总是离人泪”。解不开的离愁，难逾越的现实，害怕世人嘲笑的目光，害怕一个人的孤独，害怕着黑暗的残酷……渐行渐远渐昏噩，一直在扮演却永远也找不到属于自己的角色。
斜阳渐渐落下，水中耀眼的波光也跟着寸寸消退，一阵风吹来，带来了透彻心扉的凉意，想必温室里的酒菜已经摆上了桌子，放下思绪，喝酒去吧，柳落花黄西风冷，酒清菜淡满饮愁，几番灯红酒绿后，人间又度一春秋
玊痕有酒花遮伞，玊痕有泪心作言，玊痕有情月如颜，玊痕有祖昙灵渊。渊只是*间，渊岂是天地间。
放逐我所爱，与生便俱来。一守思情待，一生知何来。一生一死无一人，一死无生是度门。我为情生，不为印爵子都，当为卿卿子淑，何憾留。赤火之心，随流光荏苒，不择人间，向所人间，无也空乾。有血灵花线，在织眠。
一杯清水得沧桑尽味，可却浮生，许若无情，真渎叹。问江山能堪几杯，还不是心中有罪，放下不是对。善恶岂是一念间，一念一世间，早已不是流连，何必望云喧。且是非谁可言，莫过有婵娟。诸等迷度，终归自有定，诸心莫有持。故吟剑自刎，便知霜雪之弦。流三滴成红土，开曼殊沙路，玊痕之景可得一悟，人生墓。未曾生！未曾死！！只是情，你我相融，在一切中。
君是昙花灵，从不问来生。我开非一现，只是众人在梦中。过去未来和现在，一切皆无空自在。一朵昙花一切门，是渊魂，是爱痕，是情昏，无限门。灵也觉知，知也不知，渊也知之，知知之昙，化灭皆然。
玊痕间的一切是你我的什么？标签：未曾、昙花、人间、莫过、
我生病了，把从小穿的彩色的毛背心，给她们搞丢了，心也丢了。
生病时，妈妈一直陪伴着我，对我不离不弃。好像所有人都不关心我，都不关注我，都不爱护我。只有你，妈妈一直关心着我，关注着我，爱护着我。
我对妈妈说：“妈妈，对不起！我把你亲手织的彩色毛背心搞丢了。”那件彩色毛背心，我从小穿的，一直保留在自己的身边。只因宿舍里的几个室友，看不下去了。悄悄地，把它扔掉了。我非常生气，那是我妈妈织给我的。
生气的我，就生病了。室友看了连说对不起，可是心好痛，彩色毛背心里有我童年的快乐时光，有许多美好的记忆。
妈妈来了，看我这样子，非常担心，问怎么了，室友和我妈妈说了原因。妈妈笑了，一朵花开了，非常开心的说：“好久没织了，我再织一件毛背心给你。”我听了心里非常高兴。
于是，我和妈妈去了超市，买了毛线，开始织起了毛背心。妈妈熟练地织着，还一边教我，我心里踏实了。
几天过去了，我穿着妈妈新织的毛背心，心里开心了，暖乎乎的心，病好了
幸福是什么？关于这个问题，或许每个人心中的答案都不同。我们的生活经历不同，对于幸福的诠释，也就各有不同。但无论哪一种幸福的复述，都是源自一个人内心最温情的认知，和最丰裕的感受。
幸福，是一种有趣的生活。一个人心灵与精神的富足，才最接*人生的完满。自己在有限的生存时间里，有一个好的状态，有一些情趣爱好，每天所做的事都顺应心意，感觉生动美好，就很幸福。比如读书、品茶、养花、画画，跑步、健身等，使人生达到一定境界，确是一种最靓丽而尚美的幸福生活。幸福，就是一个人每天明朗愉悦的好心情。
幸福，是一份自觉的责任。周国*曾在与俞敏洪的访谈对话中说：“幸福，是家庭美满和事业成功的综合体。”一个有责任感的人，在履行中，就会自然而然地获得幸福。为事业、家庭，即使付出再多的汗水辛劳，内心也是很快乐的。展现自身的能力，体味亲情、爱情的美好；自身价值有所肯定，享受着成功的喜悦、品尝着自酿的甘美，必然是满满的幸福感。所以说：人类的一切努力的目的，在于获得幸福。
幸福，是一切苦难的终结。"如果痛苦换来的是结识真理、坚持真理，就应自觉的欣然承受，那时，也只有那时，痛苦才将化为幸福。"人总是在经历一些磨难悲痛之后，才会对以往以为的*常有所不同的感悟；总是在起伏跌宕之后，才会懂得一成不变的安稳与珍贵。我们最初的人生，曾向往生命的繁华景象，曾渴望山河岁月的浩荡模样，也曾为此拼的伤痕累累；等到了一定年纪，才会懂得，原来没有风浪、没有荆棘的人生，才是最安稳的幸福生活！
幸福，是一颗懂得感恩的心。岁月流逝中，每一种缘分的姿态，都留下回望的感动；每一份真心的陪伴，都带着命运的恩慈。若能如此慈悲而深情地活着，所有过往人际的记取，都会化作心底的粒粒珍贵。懂得感恩的人，一定是富有的，一定是懂得珍惜的人。内心充满爱与感激，爱你的人也会更多，你就一定是个幸福的人。
幸福，是一颗容易满足的心。幸福，不是你拥有多么优越的物质生活，而是你内心的愉悦晴朗，和一些小小的幸运与快乐、真切的宽容与满足。幸福的人，不与任何人攀比，也没有觊觎，只要自己觉得满意，就是最适合自己的生活。鲜衣怒马也好，素衣粗食也罢，倘若内心明媚温暖，寻常日子也会过得滋味丰足。时光里，心怀惊艳的绮盼，倒不如安于岁月的*宁静好。
有一种幸福，其实并不遥远。你不断在追寻的幸福，也许就是*日被你忽视的生活；你值得珍惜的人，也许从来都妥贴地存在着。幸福，是你远行时父母亲的牵挂；是你下班时一盏等候的灯火、一桌热气腾腾的饭菜；是你心酸疲惫时可以温柔倾诉的人。人生四季，难免相遇风雨，幸福，是心底不缺失的一份温情与感动，撑起你生命的船帆！
幸福，不是仰望的姿态，不是眺望的期盼，不是停不下来的努力，更不是多么华丽、浩荡的人生，而是一种细微、恬静的切切体味；而是你内心可以感受的一份踏实与温暖。日子周而复始，看似*淡无奇，然而，你能想到和想要的都拥有了，你以为最美最好的正在经历着，就是最难求的幸福了！
人生之旅漫长，但用一颗感恩的心看待生活，你会发现，其实幸福一直在你身边……

In smoky clubs, bars and cafes across America and Europe people are all doing the same thing: enjoying the inventivesounds and style of jazz.
在美国和欧洲那些烟雾弥漫的俱乐部、酒吧和咖啡馆中，人们都在做着同一件事情：享受着爵士乐的独特乐音和曲调。
Jazz is an advanced art form with a rich lustory . It has been called Americas classical music. Why? Well, for one, its been around for a long time-over 100 years. Also, its reputation for complicated improvisationmeans its often approved of by academics in a way that pop is not,
爵士乐是一种高尚的、历史悠久的艺术形式。它曾被称做美国的古典音乐。为什么呢?原因之一是它的历史源远流长 有100多年之久。同时，它以复杂莫测的即兴创作著称，这意味着在某种方式上它总是能够得到学者们的认可，而流行音乐则不行。
New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz. It started among the big brass bands of the citys black ghettos at the end of the 19th century. The new music took inspiration from two very different musical traditions. It combined the rhythm of West African dance music with the harmony and melody of European classical.
新奥尔良是爵士乐的发源地。爵士乐于19世纪晚期兴起于城市黑人区的大铜管乐队。这种新音乐的灵感来源于两种极其不同的音乐传统。它将非洲西部舞蹈音乐中的节奏和欧洲古典音乐中的和声和旋律结合在了一起。
Everyone has that period in which they find those who are close to them start to seem annoying .

你会突然意识到，长久以来他们就一直不停地在说啊说。
They never stopped.
他们从来就没有停过。
Some of us get angry with them,thinking they are trying too hard to intervene in our lives.
我们中的有些人，会开始变得愤怒，觉得他们对我们的生活介入太多。
But don't.
但是，请不要愤怒。
Only those who really care about you will bother saying so much to you.
只有那些真正关心我们的人才会费劲对我们说这么多。
It's just that maybe they don't know the right way to put it.
只是，他们可能并不知道正确的相处办法。
Some of them push too hard because they care too much.
他们中有些人逼得太紧，那是因为他们太在乎。
Some of them speak too much because they worry about you too much.
他们中的有些人说得太多，那是因为他们太担心你。
They do this because they love you.
他们这么做，都是因为爱你。
So don't push them away.
所以，不要将他们拒于千里之外。
Just find a way to let them know what you truly want.
去找一个办法告诉他们你真的想要的是什么吧。
And let them grow with you.
并且去让他们和你一起成长。
That will make both of you happy.
那会让你们双方都过得幸福。
Believe me.
相信我。
However mean your life is,meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The faultfinder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hours,even in a poorhouse.
The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are sim* great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.Which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.
Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change; we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
译文：
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。
夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。
视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的.朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
The strong, calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shadegiving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. "Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweettempered, balanced life?" It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character, which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold — yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money seeking looks in comparison with a serene life, a life that dwells in the ocean of truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the eternal calm!

——英语简单晨读美文合集五篇
There are lives that have bread in abundance and yet are starved; with barns and warehouses filled, with shelves and larders laden they are empty and hungry. No man need envy them; their feverish, restless whirl in the dust of publicity is but the search for a satisfaction never to be found in things. They are called rich in a world where no others are more truly, pitiably poor; having all, they are yet lacking in all because they have neglected the things within. The abundance of bread is the cause of many a man's deeper hunger. Having known nothing of the discipline that develops life's hidden sources of satisfaction, nothing of the struggle in which deep calls unto deep and the true life finds itself, he spends his days seeking to satisfy his soul with furniture, with houses and lands, with yachts and merchandise, seeking to feed his heart on things, a process of less promise and reason than feeding a snapping turtle on thoughts. It takes many of us altogether too long to learn that you cannot find satisfaction so long as you leave the soul out of your reckoning. If the heart be empty the life cannot be filled. The flow must cease at the faucet if the fountains go dry. The prime, the elemental necessities of our being are for the life rather than the body, its house. But, alas, how often out of the marble edifice issues the poor emaciated inmate, how out of the life having many things comes that which amounts to nothing. The essential things are not often those which most readily strike our blunt senses. We see the shell first. To the undeveloped mind the material is all there is. But looking deeper into life there comes an awakening to the fact and the significance of the spiritual, the feeling that the reason, the emotions, the joys and pains that have nothing to do with things, the ties that knit one to the infinite, all of which constitute the permanent elements of life.
永远的两姐妹
今天我们来读一个关于两姊妹的故事。两姊妹的名字叫珊蒂与坎蒂。
Today we are reading a story about two sisters . Their name were Sundy and Candy .
她们非常寂寞。当她们的母亲去世时，珊蒂还只个是中学生，而坎蒂只是一个小学生。
They were very lonely . When their mother died , Sundy was only junior high student and Candy was an elementary school student .
她们的父亲是一个赌徒，从早到晚只知道赌博，最后落得债台高筑
Their father was a gambler . He gambled nights and days . And finally ended up in high debt .
为了逃避赌债，他丢下两姊妹跑掉了
So to avoid repaying the money , he ran away and left the two sisters behind .
那时母亲也已经去世五年了。父亲遗弃她们后，两姐妹只能住在朋友家，因为她们自家的房子已经拿去抵债了。
At that time their mother had being died for five years . After their father walked down them . The two sisters could only stay at friend’s house because their own house was giving away to repay their father’s debt .
但两姐妹不害怕艰辛，仍然对未来抱持着美好的希望
But the two sisters never feared hardship and did not lose hope for a better life .
开朗快乐地过着每一天,两姊妹都非常勤奋。珊蒂利用课余时间打工赚钱养家。
They lived their life happily and actively . The two sisters were both wery hard working , after school Sundy the elder sister did every thing she could to support the family .
她送报纸，有时做家教赚钱。妹妹坎蒂在家负责做饭、打扫等一切家事，她年纪虽小，却能掌管好金钱。
She sold newspapers and sometimes worked as a tutor to earn extra money . And Candy the younger sister prepared meals and did all the trifles at home . Though the younger sister was small , she could manage money very well .
两姐妹互相关心，两人在学校的成绩都很突出。
The two sisters cared for each other and their school grades were excellent .
如今，她们依然贫困。但她们的故事感动了许多人，大家纷纷从各方面帮助她们。
Now the two sisters are still in poverty , but their stories have touched a lot of people .
住在同一社区的房东、管澡堂的婆婆、商店老板，以及她们的同学和老师，都照顾着她们。
And they help the two sisters in any way they can . The landlord , the by house keeper , the shop owners ,their school mates and teachers and some neighborhood are all looking after them .
虽然生活贫困艰辛，但对她们两人来说，每天都能在一起就是最大的幸福。
Poor as they are , they say : they are the happiest persons in the world because they can be with each other every day .
You hear it all along the river. You hear it, loud and strong, from the rowers as they urge the junkwith its high stem, the mast lashed alongside, down the swift running stream. You hear it from the trackers, a more breathless chant, as they pull desperately against the current, half a dozen of them perhaps if they are taking up a sampan, a couple of hundred if they are hauling a splendidjunk, its square sail set, over a rapid. On the junk a man stands amidships beating a drum incessantlyto guide their efforts, and they pull with all their strength, like men possessed, bent double; and sometimes in the extremity of their travail they crawl on the ground, on all fours, like the beasts of the field. They strain, strain fiercely, against the pitiless might of the stream. The leader goes up and down the line and when he sees one who is not putting all his will into the task he brings down his split bamboo on the naked back. Each one must do his utmost or the labour of all is vain. And still they sing a vehement, eager chant, the chant of the turbulent waters. I do not know how words can describe what there is in it of effort. It serves to express the straining heart, the breaking muscles, and at the same time the indomitable spirit of man which overcomes the pitiless force of nature. Though the rope may part and the great junk swing back, in the end the rapid will be passed; and at the close of the weary day there is the hearty meal...
沿着整条河，都能够听见歌声，洪亮而有力度。船夫们划着木船顺流而下，船尾翘得高高的，船边绑着桅杆。这也许是急促些的号子吧。纤夫们拼命地拉着纤逆流而上，如果拉的是小木船，也许就只有五六个人，如果拉的是过急滩、扬着横帆的大船，就要二百多人了。一个壮汉站在船中央，不停地击鼓助威，指引着他们加紧干活。于是，他们用尽全身的力量，着了魔似的，俯身探地，有时用尽力了，就全身趴在地上匍匐前进，像是田地里劳动的牲畜。他们用力，拼命用力，对抗着流水无情的阻挡之力。领头的在纤绳前后不停奔走，看到有人没有竭尽全力，就用竹板打他的光背。每个人都必须竭尽全力，否则就要前功尽弃。就这样，他们仍旧唱着激昂而炙烈的号子，那汹涌澎湃的河水号子。我不知道用怎样的词语才能描写出这其中的拼搏，它体现出了紧绷的弦，几乎要断裂的筋肉，同时也体现了人类以顽强的精神克服这无情的自然力。虽然绳子可能扯断，大船可能倒退，但终能渡过激流。在筋疲力尽的一天结束之后，可以痛快地吃上一顿饱饭……
But the most agonising song is the song of the coolies who bring the great bales from the junk up the steep steps to the town wall. Up and down they go, endlessly, and endless as their toil rises theirrhythmic cry. He, aw,ah,on. They are barefoot and naked to the waist. The sweat pours down their faces and their song is a groan of pain. It is a sigh of despair. It is heart rending. It is hardly human. It is the cry of souls in infinite distress, only just musical, and that last note is the ultimate sob of humanity. Life is too hard, too cruel, and this is the final despairing protest. That is the song of the river.
然而最让人苦闷的歌是苦力的歌，他们背着从船上卸下的大包，沿着陡坡爬上城墙。他们不停地来回上下，和着没有尽头的劳动，响起有节奏的喊声：嗨，呦，嗨，呦。他们赤脚裸背，脸上的汗水不断地向下流。他们的歌是痛苦的**，失望的叹息，让人们听起来心碎不已，难以相信是人的声音。这是在无尽的悲凉中呼喊的灵魂，只不过配上了有节奏的音乐，那终曲简直就是人性最终的低泣。生活如此艰难、如此残酷，这喊声正是最后绝望的**，这就是河之歌！
We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning; signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.
In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again, not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, “rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation”, a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility. I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God’s work must truly be our own.
译文：
就职演讲(节选)
今天我们庆祝的不是政党的胜利，而是自由的胜利。这象征着一个结束，也象征着一个开端;意味着延续也意味看变革。因为我已在你们跟全能的上帝面前，宣读了我们的先辈在170多年前拟定的庄严誓言。
公民们，我们方针的最终成败与其说掌握在我手中，不如说掌握在你们手中。自从合众国建立以来，每一代美国人都曾受到召唤去证明他们对国家的忠诚。响**唤而献身的美国青年的坟墓遍及全球。
现在，号角已再次吹响---不是召唤我们拿起武器，虽然我们需要武器;不是召唤我们去作战，虽然我们严阵以待。它召唤我们为迎接黎明而肩负起漫长斗争的重任，年复一年，从希望中得到欢乐，在磨难中保持耐性，对付人类共同的敌人---专制、社团、疾病跟战争本身。
为反对这些敌人，确保人类更为丰裕的生活，我们能够组成一个包括东西南北各方的全球大联盟吗?你们愿意参加这一历史性的努力吗?
在漫长的世界历史中，只有少数几代人在自由处于最危急的时刻被赋予保卫自由的责任。我不会推卸这一责任，我欢迎这一责任。我不相信我们中间有人想同其他人或其他时代的人交换位置。我们为这一努力所奉献的精力、信念跟忠诚，将照亮我们的国家跟所有为国效劳的人，而这火焰发出的光芒定能照亮全世界。
因此，美国同胞们，不要问国家能为你们做些什么、而要问你们能为国家做些什么。
全世界的公民们，不要问美国将为你们做些计人，而要问我们共同能为人类的自由做些什么。
最后，不论你们是美国公民还是其他国家的公民，你们应要求我们献出我们同样要求于你们的高度力量跟牺牲。问心无愧是我们唯一可靠的奖赏，历史是我们行动的最终裁判，让我们走向前去，引导我们所热爱的国家。我们祈求上帝的福佑跟帮助，但我们知道，确切地说，上帝在尘世的工作必定是我们自己的工作。
Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work. There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eyes. I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers. This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditches would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, “I'll stop on my way home and dig them.”
“Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year for my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose. One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

抓住最闪亮的星 抓住最美的梦想
Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart. Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.
Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you've made. Have faith in your judgment. Catch the star that twinkles in your heart and it will lead you to your destiny's path. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.
Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination. Find the star that twinkles in your heart—for you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true. Give your hopes everything you've got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.
当生命中的那颗星在你内心闪耀的时候，要学会把握它，永远相信只要自己持之以恒，就一定能够实现自己心中的梦想。
尽管通往梦想的道路上总有坎坷，你需要记住的是，你的命运就隐藏在那困难背后。学会接受这样的事实：不是每一个人都赞同你的选择。你要坚定自己的信念走下去，去拥抱那属于你自己的美丽日出。捕捉住那颗在你内心闪耀的星吧，它将引领你抵达自己的命运之路。沿那条路走下去，你就会发现那属于自己的美丽日出。
为自己的成绩自豪，因为它们是你通往梦想的阶梯。要知道你自己也会犯错误，但是可别因此而气馁。正确评价自己的能力，是它们令你与众不同。生活里最丰厚的礼物不是买来的，而是通过艰苦的努力和决心获得的。找到在你内心闪耀的那颗星吧——虽然你独自一人，但也有能力实现你最辉煌(mary1016a注：最美丽)的梦想。对即得的怀抱希望并抓住那颗掌控你命运的星吧。
A crow feit very thirsty.He looked for water in the pitcher.His beak could not reach it.He tired again and again,but still could not touch the water.
When he was about to give up,an idea came to him.He took a pebble and dropped it into the pitcher.Then he took another and dropped it in.
Gradually,the water rose,and the crow was able to drink the water.
一只乌鸦口渴了，到处找水喝。终于，他找到了一个大水罐。然而，水罐里面的水并不多，他的尖嘴够不到水面，他试了一次又一次，都没有成功。就在他想放弃的时候，他突然想到一个主意。乌鸦叼来了一块小石子投到水罐里，接着又叼了一块又一块石头放进去。渐渐地，水面升高了。乌鸦高兴地喝到了水。
People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.
Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars?
We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.
From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.
The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.
In short, history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep us from repeating yesterday’s mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.
翻译：一个更好的明天
英语励志短文人们常常心存疑虑,为什么历史学家要费尽周折地保存数以万计的书籍、文献和记录。
我们为什么要有图书馆呢?这些文献和史书有何用处呢? 我们为什么要记载并保存人类的行为、**官员的谈判和战争中的事件呢?
我们这么做的原因在于有时候经验之音能促使我们停步、观察和倾听。也因为有时候过去的记载经过正确地诠释,能帮助我们决定何事可为、何事不可为。如果我们想要创造永久的和*,我们就必须从人类的经验以及人类历史的记载中去探索其渊源。
从体现男性和女性勇敢和奉献精神的故事之中,我们获得了青春的启示。英语短文历史记载着人类的一切苦难、克己、忠诚和英勇的事迹。这些记载在我们困惑和渴望和*时能对我们有所帮助。
历史的主要目的是创造一个更加美好的世界。历史对那些力主战争的人给以警告,给予那些寻求和*的人以启示。

其实，只要我们动点脑筋，许多单词很能容易地记住，关键是我们记单词的方法能否给大脑的记忆中枢以最有效的、最合理的刺激，如果我们能做到这一点，我们就可以告别传统的死记硬背的英语单词模式，从而使得背单词不再成为英语学*中最耗时费力，最令人痛恨不已的一件苦差事，最终实现在谈笑之间就让一个个英语单词扎根在我们的记忆之中，并且能够做到“记而不忘”。
下面举例说明：
Weird：不可思议的分解为we＋ird，ird就是没有头的bird（少了开头的字母b），联想一个情景：一觉醒来我们变成了无头的小鸟，这的确是个不可思议的事情啊。
Bliss：好福气，天福谐音“不理事”，联想一个情景：一个人什么事情都不要做，什么事情都不要打理，别人什么事情都给他做得好好的，这个人真是天生的好福气。
Dearth：饥荒，饥馑分解为d＋earth，d为“冻”的汉语拼音的开头字母，earth为土地，联想一个情景：当土地冻起来之后就长不出庄稼，所以要闹饥荒，闹饥馑。
Waif：无家可归者分解为wai＋f，wai为“外”的汉语拼音，f为“放”的汉语拼音的开头字母，联想一个情景：一个人被外放的时候，他必定是有家难回。
Pore：钻研谐音“泡”，联想一个情景：一个科学家在钻研问题时需要花很多的精力，要在里面“泡掉”许多时间。
Pauper：穷人分解为paper＋u，paper是“纸”，u借用汉语读音“有”，联想一个情景：富人有的是钱，但穷人光有纸没有钱，所以光有纸的人就是穷人。
Caprice：怪想法分解为cap＋rice，cap是“帽子”，rice为“大米”，?联想一个情景：我们*时把大米都是放在米缸里或米袋里，但有一个人说，我不用米缸装大米，也不用米袋装大米，我要用帽子来装大米，这个人的这个想法就是怪想法。
Languid：没精打采的??谐音“懒鬼的”，联想一个情景：一个懒鬼什么事情都不愿意做，什么事情都不想做，所以每天都是无精打采的。
Elf：淘气鬼与self（自己）相比较，elf是少了头的“自己”，联想一个情景：一个小孩子很顽皮，他把自己的头都给玩没有了，真是不折不扣的淘气鬼。
Cactus：仙人掌分解为c＋act＋us，c为“刺”的汉语拼音的开头字母，act是“作用”，us是“我们”，c＋act＋us就是“有刺作用于我们”，联想一个情景：仙人掌最大的特征就是浑身有刺，我们只要用手去碰，它的刺就会扎我们。
方法1
一定要每次都大量地背。因为自己不比别人聪明，所以背完单词，别人忘掉五分之一，自己决不会比别人忘得少。然而，别人每天背十个单词，自己却可以背一百个，忘掉五分之一，还剩八十个，是别人最聪明状态下的十倍。
背的时候，要一目十词(注意，是十个而不是更多或更少)，不要认认真真背，因为没有认认真真的时间。一边看一边读每个词的读音，默读也成。看完后回忆一遍，回忆不起来的再看。这次背的目的在于留下个大概印象，下次看见能知道这个词，所以背到大部分都能回忆得起来就成了，把剩下的词单独抄出来。
方法2
背字典!为什么要背字典呢?因为字典上每个词的解释比较全面，而且相同字母开头的单词都集中在一起。不是什么字典都可以拿来背的，一定要找只包含自己想背的词的字典。另外，最好有英文方式的解释和例句。而且，一定要有音标!
方法3
和单词多见面。一个单词能不能记住，取决于和它在不同场合见面的频率，不在于每次看着它的时间长短。
一般想记住一个单词，每星期要和它在不同场合见三到四次面。在上文中提到大量背的时候，不要抠某一个字记住与否就是这个意思。因为是否一见钟情都是无所谓的，关键在于有更多不同类型的见面机会。不过，根据要背的单词的等级不同，增加见面机会的方式也有所不同。
方法4
联想，联想，联想……背单词的第一个动作是什么?端详一下它的外貌。第二第三个动作呢?看看它的内涵和发音。而第四个动作，就应该是联想，再联想……联想它和其他背过的词有没有外表类似的?读音类似的?意思类似或相反的?如果有，就赶紧记在旁边，在另外那些词旁边也把这个词加上。这样，以后看见其他词，也会联想起这个词，等于又增加了一次见面机会。 而且，在第二、第三个等级的词汇里，还有许多单词是由"前缀"，"词根"，"后缀"组成的，前缀比如"re"，"in"，"pseud"，后缀比如"er"， "a"， "oid"，然后共同组成一个新词。
如果掌握了这些前后缀，就可以很方便地猜出一个生词到底什么意思。
方法5
复*!
总结复*的规律是：十个单词复*一遍，然后三十个单词，然后是以前所有没背下来的单词。复*的时候，同样不必细抠，粗略地扫一遍就可以了，但一定要想它的读音(因为英语是象声的)。最后背不下来的单词，一定是不常用的，因为老外一样背不下来。 每背完一个开头字母的单词，就要把前一个开头字母的复*一遍。然后每背完前文中括号里面的开头字母，就把上一个括号里的复*一遍。
复*的时候，要先看英文翻译中文意思来一遍，然后再看着中文想它的英文单词再来一遍。 前面说过，在泛听，泛读中忘了的词要和背的时候就记不住的词分着记下来，就是为了在复*的时候区别对待。忘了的词，要每天看一遍，会了就划掉，而记不住的词则在背完了整个字母以后，单独背一下这些词，*常就不用看了。
1.惯性记单词
这一种方法是孩子们常用的。也就是通过不断拼读记单词，说多了孩子们就会发现，一开口就能朗朗上口的拼读出单词，这是利用肌肉记忆和惯性帮助孩子在潜意识中记住这个单词，并且说多了后就可以不用回忆就可以凭感觉拼读出单词。但是要达到这种效果，需要长时间拼读，很多孩子可能无法克服长时间乏味的拼读练*，所以这一方法所达到的效果其实是有限的。
2.听音记单词
这一方法主要有助于记住单词的拼写和读音。它有两类实现的形式。第一类是最常见的形式单词听写，这也是老师在课堂上最常用的帮助学生记单词的形式。这种形式主要考察的是孩子对单词的完整的拼写，这有利于孩子在考试中的词汇运用题和作文题中少犯甚至不犯单词拼写错误。第二类形式有很多，如听英语歌，听英语录音，看英语电影等。这些形式并不要求学生能够记住单词的拼写，更多的是要求孩子能记住单词的'读音，并且通过听，进而学会读和说。这一类形式在帮助孩子记住单词读音的同时，也有利于提升孩子的听力和口语表达。
3.理解记单词
这一方法主要有两种实现形式。第一种就是将单词放在一个句子中，进行理解。这种方法主要是为了记住单词的意思。很多孩子在记单词时往往走入一个误区，那便是只背单词，所以孩子总是背了又忘，忘了再背。这是因为对孩子来说将单个单词和它的意思联系起来是件非常困难的事情，因为这种死记硬背的方法并没有给他提供单词和它的意思的逻辑关系，这样不仅费时而且易忘。所以我们可以把单词放在一句子里，给孩子一个情境，通过记住这个情境来帮助孩子理解单词在句中的意思。也就是说在记单词时其实是要记住含有单词的例句，这样下次再看到这个单词的时候就会想起这个句子，并且通过句子的意思，我们就会回想起单词的意思了。第二种形式是做题，这种形式是帮助孩子记住单词的各种形式，例如在词汇运用中往往会考察可数单词的复数形式，动词的过去式，-ing形式等，这类变化我们可以通过总结来归纳，但需要通过做题来记忆，做题其实也是将单词置于一句话中，也就是一个情境中，让孩子通过理解句子来记忆单词的不同形式。
通过以上的方法，我们可以知道记单词并非一劳永逸的事，要想真正掌握一个单词，我们要记住它的音形义，也就是说我们不仅要会读会说，还应会拼会用。但要做到这些，光靠孩子自己的拼读记忆和老师的听写检验是不够的，还需要通过各种其他形式进行巩固。
通过以上的方法，我们可以总结出记单词的步骤：
1.拼读记忆(最基础的一步)，大致记住单词
2.听相关听力(记读音)
2.记例句，掌握单词意思
3.听写(检验单词拼写记忆效果)
4.做题，掌握单词意思及各种形式变化
5.阅读(巩固单词意思及用法)
每个人都是有遗忘周期的，对于一个单词我们可能要反复记忆很多遍才能记得相对比较牢，所以要想掌握好一个单词还是要反复多次地记忆，并且学会将所**用到生活当中。
拆分法背单词
拆分法就是把单词按照熟悉的元素拆分为更短的字母，然后把拼写后的元素转化为文字，最后把文字联想为一句话进行速记。
举几个例子：
例子1：pole 杆，拆分：po-le，转化：po=破，le=了，联想：杆破了。
例子2：suspension 推迟，拆分：su-s-pen-sion，转化：su=苏，s=美女，pen=钢笔，si=四，on=在...上面，联想：苏联美女的钢笔在四只脚的桌子上面。
例子3：mention 提及，拆分：men-tion，转化：men=男人们，tion=神，联想：她提及到男(人们)神就很兴奋。
从上面的例子中，大家也看得出来，拆分法就三步：拆分-->转化-->联想。
市面上宣传的“右脑快速记忆英语单词法”，号称可以”1天记牢1000个英语单词“之类的大部分都是用此法。
我们来看上面的例子，例子1中，单词正好拆分为字的全拼，转化后的文字和单词的意思也很好的联想起来，这种情况下，用拆分法就是很不错的。
在例子2中，虽然单词都能拆分转化并联想成一句话，但是拆分得太多，如果一下子记很多单词，容易产生混乱，这就是拆分法的弊端之处。
在例子3中，虽然转化的时候运用到了熟悉单词和谐音，但因为提及男神就很兴奋的场景比较容易记，所以此时拆分法也是不错的。
综上所述，拆分法本身是不错的辅助记单词的方法，但如果拆得比较散，联想的句子比较长，短时间内记的单词比较多，拆分法的弊端就很明显了。
为什么许多考生在英语复*上花费巨大精力，但在考场上取得高分的则又是少数人，这其中就是复*方法及复*技巧等方面的差别了。
我们都有一种体验，学英语花的是软功，死缠硬磨，所以首先得有恒心、毅力。
“一日学，一日功；一日不学，十日空”，这个道理对于英语来说犹为重要。
我有一个同学托福考了满分。她说，英语学好不难，难就难在持之以恒，一天隔开，感觉就不一样。一个英语很差的同学，花了大功夫，接连三个月，果然进步神速，令人刮目相看。
两则例子充分说明，学英语贵在坚持，特别是高三同学任务重，有时一天下来，累得快散架了，英语就丢了。但是，再累也得学，学一分钟也是好的。
学英语首先要有足够的单词量，以我个人经验，单独背单词也是积累单词量的一种方法，很多人说在阅读中背单词，但那是需要一定的单词量作为基础才行。虽然阅读很重要，但集中精力专门背单词还是必须的，否则单词量太少，阅读就完全失去了兴趣。我们学*我们的母语，尚需要专门的记生词和生字。网上介绍的“奇迹英语8.0是个不错的选择。这款软件最大的好处就是记忆的效果特别好，它的原理具体我也说不清楚，一开始用觉得这软件挺一般的，没什么特别的，但是用到后来（你试个几天），你就会发现很神奇了，他真的能监测到你即将忘记的单词，然后重现让你学*。这对于大量词汇记忆来说是非常关键的。
当单词量到一定程度，便要辅之以广泛阅读。广泛阅读一方面可以学到新的单词，更重要的是能够复*旧单词，以免遗忘。对重要单词还得学得精，否则选择题是过不了关的。
学好英语离不开阅读，它对增进语感，吸收一些写作技巧，开阔视野等等都很有帮助。要想取得好成绩死抱课本远远不够，现在英语试卷量多，时间紧，要求考生有较强的语感，语感强的同学答题快、准确率高，这些都是*时努力的结果。
阅读理解题分值最高，*年来，其题型花样不断翻新，这就要求考生有着更高层次的素质、知识面要更广。譬如有一年试题就涉及在饭店如何点菜的问题。
阅读还有个精度和广度的问题。广泛阅读无疑是必不可少，但精读亦不可缺，一些优秀的篇章我们可以作为借鉴，把它背下来，以丰富自己的语言，写起文章来有血有肉，否则总是三句不离其宗，枯燥无味。所以阅读要精广结合，哪一个都不能偏废，否则会影响效果。
最后必须强调的是英语必须做题。毕竟从理论到实践其中还是有一段距离的，有的东西自己是一清二楚，可一遇到实际问题就会晕头晕脑，这就是题量不够的缘故。一般地说，高考中由于情绪紧张可能会影响答题速度，所以有必要*时就训练自己的速度，以免在考试来不及做完题目，做到正常发挥。
最后一点，而且是最易被忽视的一点就是课本知识掌握不牢。基础要打好，这样才能心中踏实。
