高考英語經(jīng)典美文：雨中的記憶
She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal—Mart。 She must have been 6 years old， this beautiful brown haired， freckle—faced image of innocence。 It was pouring outside。 The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters， so much in a hurry to hit the Earth， it has no time to flow down the spout。
她和媽媽剛在沃爾瑪結(jié)束購物。這個(gè)天真的小女孩應(yīng)該6歲大了，頭發(fā)是美麗的棕色，臉上有雀斑。外面下著傾盆大雨。雨水溢滿了檐槽，來不及排走，就迫不及待地涌漲上地面。
We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal—Mart。 We all waited， some patiently， others irritated， because nature messed up their hurried day。 I am always mesmerized by rainfall。 I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world。 Memories of running， splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day。
我們都站在沃爾瑪門口的遮篷下。大家都在等待，有人很耐心，有人很煩躁，因?yàn)槔咸煸诮o他們本已忙碌的一天添亂。雨天總引起我的遐思。我出神地聽著、看著老天沖刷洗滌這世界的污垢和塵埃，孩時(shí)無憂無慮地在雨中奔跑玩水的記憶洶涌而至，暫時(shí)緩解了我一天的焦慮。
Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in， “Mom， let's run through the rain。" she said。
小女孩甜美的`聲音打破了這令人昏昏欲睡的氣氛，“媽媽，我們?cè)谟昀锱馨伞！彼f。
"What？" Mom asked。
“什么？”母親問。
"Let's run through the rain！" She repeated。
“我們?cè)谟昀锱馨桑彼貜?fù)。
"No， honey。 We'll wait until it slows down a bit。" Mom replied。
“不，親愛的，我們等雨小一點(diǎn)再走�！蹦赣H回答說。
This young child waited about another minute and repeated： "Mom， let's run through the rain。"
過了一會(huì)小女孩又說：“媽媽，我們跑出去吧。”
"We'll get soaked if we do。" Mom said。
“這樣的話我們會(huì)濕透的�！蹦赣H說。
"No， we won't， Mom。 That's not what you said this morning，" the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm。"
“不會(huì)的，媽媽。你今天早上不是這樣說的�！毙∨⒁贿呎f一邊拉著母親的手。
"This morning？ When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet？"
“今天早上？我什么時(shí)候說過我們淋雨不會(huì)濕啊？”
"Don't you remember？ When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer， you said， If God can get us through this， he can get us through anything！"
“你不記得了嗎？你和爸爸談他的癌癥時(shí)，你不是說‘如果上帝讓我們闖過這一關(guān)，那我們就沒有什么過不去�！�
The entire crowd stopped dead silent。 I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain。 We all stood silently。 No one came or left in the next few minutes。 Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say。
人群一片寂靜。我發(fā)誓，除了雨聲，你什么都聽不到。我們都靜靜地站著。接下來的幾分鐘沒有一個(gè)人走動(dòng)。母親停了一下，想著應(yīng)該說些什么。
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly。 Some might even ignore what was said。 But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life。 Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith。 "Honey， you are absolutely right。 Let's run through the rain。 If get wet， well maybe we just needed washing。" Mom said。 Then off they ran。
有人也許會(huì)對(duì)此一笑了之，或者責(zé)備這孩子的不懂事，有人甚至不把她的話放在心上。但這卻是一個(gè)小孩子一生中需要被肯定的時(shí)候。若受到鼓舞，此時(shí)孩子單純的信任就會(huì)發(fā)展成為堅(jiān)定的信念�！坝H愛的，你說得對(duì)，我們跑過去吧。如果淋濕了，那也許是因?yàn)槲覀兊拇_需要沖洗一下了。”母親說。然后她們就沖出去了。
We all stood watching， smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and。 They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case。 They got soaked。 But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars。 And yes， I did。 I ran。 I got wet。 I needed washing。Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions， they can take away your money， and they can take away your health。 But no one can ever take away your precious memories。 So， don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day！
我們站在那里，笑著看她們飛快地跑過停著的汽車。她們把購物袋高舉過頭想擋擋雨，但還是濕透了。好幾個(gè)人像孩子般尖叫著，大笑著，也跟著沖了出去，奔向自己的車子。當(dāng)然，我也這樣做了，跑了出去，淋濕了。我也需要接受洗禮。環(huán)境或其他人可以奪去你的物質(zhì)財(cái)富，搶走你的金錢，帶走你的健康，但沒有人可以帶走你珍貴的回憶。因此，記得要抓緊時(shí)間，抓住機(jī)會(huì)每天都給自己留下一些回憶吧
To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven。 I hope you still take the time to run through the rain。
世間萬物皆有自己的季節(jié)，做任何事情也有一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)機(jī)。希望你有機(jī)會(huì)在雨中狂奔一回。
高考英語經(jīng)典美文：裝滿吻的盒子
The story goes that some time ago， a man punished his 3—year—old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper。 Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree。 Nevertheless， the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said， "This is for you， Daddy。”
有這樣一個(gè)故事，爸爸因?yàn)槿龤q的女兒浪費(fèi)了一卷金色的包裝紙而懲罰了她。家里很缺錢，當(dāng)孩子想要用包裝紙裝飾一個(gè)掛在圣誕樹上的盒子時(shí)，爸爸生氣了。然而，第二天早上小女孩把盒子作為禮物送給了爸爸，“這是給你的，爸爸�！�
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction， but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty。 He yelled at her， stating， "Don't you know， when you give someone a present， there is supposed to be something inside？ The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried， "Oh， Daddy， it's not empty at all。 I blew kisses into the box。 They're all for you， Daddy。"
女兒的這個(gè)行為讓爸爸感到尷尬。但是當(dāng)他發(fā)現(xiàn)盒子是空的時(shí)候，他的怒火再一次燃燒了。他對(duì)女兒喊道，“難道你不知道給別人禮物的時(shí)候，里面應(yīng)該放有東西嗎？”多女孩抬頭看著父親，眼里含著淚水，“爸爸，盒子不是空的。我把吻放在了盒子里，都是給你的，爸爸�！�
The father was crushed。 He put his arms around his little girl， and he begged for her forgiveness。 Only a short time later， an accident took the life of the child。 It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and， whenever he was discouraged， he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there。
爸爸感動(dòng)極了，他摟住女兒，懇請(qǐng)她的原諒。之后不久，一場事故奪走了小女孩的生命。據(jù)說，父親便將那個(gè)小金盒子放在床頭，一直陪伴著他的余生。無論何時(shí)他感到氣餒或者遇到難辦的事情，他就會(huì)打開禮盒，取出一個(gè)假想的吻，記起漂亮女兒給予了自己特殊的愛。
In a very real sense， each one of us， as humans beings， have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses。。。 from our children， family members， friends， and God。 There is simply no other possession， anyone could hold， more precious than this。
從一個(gè)非常真實(shí)的意義上說，我們每個(gè)人都被贈(zèng)與過一個(gè)無形的金色禮盒，那里面裝滿了來自子女，家人，朋友及上帝無條件的愛與吻。人們所能擁有的最珍貴的禮物莫過于此了。
高考英語經(jīng)典美文：圣誕之夜
A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as Christmas present。 On Christmas eve， when Paul came out of his office， a street urchin was looking around the shining new car， admiring it。
我有個(gè)朋友，保羅，在圣誕節(jié)那天收到了一份來自他哥哥的禮物，一輛轎車。在圣誕前夜，當(dāng)保羅從他的辦公室走出來時(shí)，一個(gè)街頭頑童正圍著他的新車打轉(zhuǎn)地看，非常羨慕。
"Is this your car， Mister？" he said。
“這是您的汽車嗎，先生？”他說。
Paul nodded， "My brother gave it to me for Christmas。"
保羅點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭，“我哥哥給我的圣誕禮物。
The boy was astounded， "You mean your brother gave it to you， and didn't cost you anything？"
小男孩詫異了，“你是說你哥哥給你的，不用花你一分錢？”
"Boy， I wish。。。" he hesitated。
“兄弟，我希望。。�！彼t疑了。
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for。 He was going to wish he has a brother like that。 But what the lad said jarred Paull all the way down his heels。
保羅當(dāng)然清楚他希望什么，他希望他也有個(gè)那樣的哥哥。但這個(gè)小家伙說的話，使保羅大吃了一驚。
"I wish，" the boy went on， "that I could be a brother like that。"
“我希望，”小男孩繼續(xù)說道，“我可以做一個(gè)那樣的哥哥�！�
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment， then inpulsivly he added， "Would you like to take a ride in my car？"
保羅驚奇地看著小男孩，然后激動(dòng)地說了句，“你想不想做我的車去兜兜風(fēng)？”
"Oh， yes。 I'd love that。"
“哦，想！我喜歡！”
After a short ride， the boy turned his eyes aglow， said， "Mister， would you mind driving in front of my house？"
跑了一小段路后，小男孩眼光水靈閃閃地說道，“先生，您可以把車開到我家門前嗎？”
Paul smiled a little。 He thought he knew what the lad wanted。 He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big automobile。 But Paul was wrong again。
保羅微微一笑。他覺得他知道這個(gè)小家伙想要干什么，他想要向他的.鄰居炫耀他可以坐一輛大汽車回家。但是，保羅又一次想錯(cuò)了。
"Would you stop at those with two steps？" the boy asked。
“您可以在那有兩個(gè)臺(tái)階的房子前停下嗎？” 小男孩問道。
He ran up stairs。 Then in a little while， Paul heard him coming back， but he was not coming fast。 He was carrying his little crippled brother。 He set him down on the bottom step。 Then a sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car。
他跑著上樓去了。然后一小會(huì)兒，保羅聽到他回來的腳步聲，但他沒再用跑的了。保羅看見他正攙扶著他的跛腳的弟弟，他扶著他坐在最底層的臺(tái)階上，然后擁抱著他，指著這部車。
"There she is， buddy， just like I told you upstairs。 His brother gave it to him for Christmas and didn't cost hime a cent。 And some day， I'm gonna give you one just like it。 Then you can see for yourself all the prettiest things in the windows that I was trying to tell you about。"
“小弟，那就是我在樓上跟你說的那部車。他哥哥給他的圣誕禮物，不用花他一分錢。將來某天我也要給你一部像那樣的車，那樣你就可以自己去看我以前盡力想讓你知道的那些窗邊的圣誕飾品了�！�
Paul got off and lifted the lad into the front of his car。 The shinning eyed old brother crimbed in beside him。 And three of them began a memorable holiday ride。
保羅下車把跛腳的小孩抱上了車的前座，他的眼睛水靈靈的哥哥爬上了車，坐到了他旁邊。然后他們?nèi)齻�(gè)開始一段令人難忘的旅程。
That Christmas eve， Paul learned what Jesus meant， when he said， "It is more blessed to give than to receive。。。"
那個(gè)圣誕前夜，保羅收獲了很多，他真正體會(huì)了耶穌所說的那句話，“施舍比接受更有福。。。”
高考英語經(jīng)典美文： 不凡的連衣裙
“Do you like my dress？"she asked of a passing stranger。"My mommy made it just for me。"She said with a tear in her eye。
"你喜歡我的連衣裙嗎？“她問一位正走過她身邊的陌生人�！蔽覌寢寣＝o我做的�！彼f道，眼里冒出了淚珠。
"Well，I think it's very pretty，so tell me little one，why are you crying？"
“嗯，我認(rèn)為你的裙子真漂亮。告訴我，小姑娘，你為什么哭呢？”
With a quiver in her voice the little girl answered。"After Mommy made me this dress，she had to go away。"
小姑娘聲音有些顫抖，回答道：“我媽媽給我做完這條裙子后就不得不離開了�！�
"Well，now，"said the lady，"with a little girl like you waiting for her，I'm sure she'll be right back。"
“哦，是這樣，”陌生的女士說，“有你這樣一個(gè)小姑娘等著她，我敢肯定她很快就會(huì)回來的.。”
"No Ma'am ，you don't understand，"said the child through her tears，"my daddy said she's up in heaven now with Grandfather。"
“不，女士，您不明白，”女孩透過淚水說，“我爸說她現(xiàn)在和我爺爺在天堂里�！�
Finally the woman realized what the child meant，and why she was crying。Kneeling down she gently cradled the child in her arms and together they cried for the mommy that was gone。
女士終于明白孩子的意思了，也明白她為什么哭泣。她跪下，溫柔地把女孩摟在懷里，她們一起為離去的媽媽哭泣。
Then suddenly the little girl did something that the woman thought was a bit strange。She stopped crying，stepped back from the woman and began to sing。She sang so softly that it was almost a whisper。 It was the sweetest sound the woman had ever heard，almost like the song of a very small bird。
忽然小姑娘又做了件讓女士感到有點(diǎn)奇怪的事。她停住了哭泣，從女士懷抱中抽出身，向后退了一步，然后開始唱歌。她唱得如此輕柔，幾乎像章晨低語。這是女士聽到過的最甜美的聲音，簡直就像一只非常小的小鳥在吟唱。
After the child stopped singing she explained to the lady，"My mommy used to sing that song to me before she went away，and she made me promise to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me stop。"
小女孩唱完后解釋說：“媽媽離去前經(jīng)常給我唱這支歌，她讓我答應(yīng)她我一哭就唱這支歌，這樣我就不哭了。”
"See，"she exclaimed，"it did，and now my eyes are dry！"
“您瞧，”她驚叫道，“真管用，現(xiàn)在我的眼睛里沒有眼淚了！”
As the woman turned to go，the little girl grabbed her sleeve，"Ma'am，can you stay just a minute？I want to show you something。"
女士轉(zhuǎn)身要走時(shí)，小女孩抓住她的衣袖：“女士，您能再停留一小會(huì)兒嗎？我想給您看點(diǎn)東西。”
"Of course，"she answered，"what do you want me to see？"
“當(dāng)然可以，”她回答，“你想要我看什么呢？”
Pointing to a spot on her dress，she said，"Right here is where my mommy kissed my dress，and here，"pointing to another spot，"and here is another kiss， and here，and here。Mommy said that she put all those kisses on my dress so that I would have her kisses for every booboo'that made me cry。"
小女孩指著裙子上的一處，說：“就在這里，我媽媽親了我的裙子，還有這里，”她指著另外一處，“這里有另外一個(gè)吻，還有這里，這里。媽媽說她把所有這些吻都留在我的連衣裙上，這樣我遇到什么事哭了，就會(huì)有她的親吻�！�
Then the lady realized that she wasn't just looking at a dress，no，she was looking at a mother…who knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away the hurts that she knew her daughter would get。
這時(shí)，女士意識(shí)到在她眼前的不是一件連衣裙，不是的，她在凝視一位母親……這位母親知道她將離去，無法隨時(shí)守候在女兒身邊，吻去她知道女兒必然會(huì)遇到的種種傷心事。
So she took all the love she had for her beautiful little girl and put them into this dress，that her child now so proudly wore。
所以她將所有對(duì)她美麗女兒的愛傾注在這件連衣裙上�，F(xiàn)在，女兒如此驕傲地穿在身上。
She no longer saw a little girl in a simple dress。 She saw a child wrapped…in her mother's love。
她看到的不再是身穿一件簡單的連衣裙的小女孩。她看到的是一個(gè)……被媽媽的愛裹著的孩子。
高考英語經(jīng)典美文：快樂之門
Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever—widening circle of ripples。 As Stevenson has said， being happy is a duty。
快樂就像一塊為了激起陣陣漣漪而丟進(jìn)池塘的小石頭。正好史蒂文森所說，快樂是一種責(zé)任。
There is no exact definition of the word happiness。 Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons。 The key is not wealth or physical well—being， since we find beggars， invalids and so—called failures， who are extremely happy。
快樂這個(gè)詞并沒有確切的定義，快樂的人快樂的理由多種多樣�？鞓返腵關(guān)鍵并不是財(cái)富或身體健康，因?yàn)槲覀儼l(fā)現(xiàn)有些乞丐，殘疾人和所謂的失敗者也都非�？鞓贰�
Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend。 But staying happy is an accomplishment， a triumph of soul and character。 It is not selfish to strive for it。 It is， indeed， a duty to ourselves and others。
快樂是一種意外的收獲，但保持快樂卻是一種成就，一種靈性的勝利。努力追尋快樂并不自私，實(shí)際上，這是我們對(duì)自己和他人應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。
Being unhappy is like an infectious disease。 It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer。 He soon finds himself alone， miserable and embittered。 There is， however， a cure so simple as to seem， at first glance， ridiculous； if you don’t feel happy， pretend to be！
不快樂就像傳染病，它使得人們都躲避不快樂的人。不快樂的人很快就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己處于孤獨(dú)，悲慘，痛苦的境地。然而，有一種簡單得看似荒謬的治病良方：如果你不快樂，就假裝你很快樂！
It works。 Before long you will find that instead of repelling people， you attract them。 You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will。
這很有效。不久你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，別人不再躲著你了，相反，你開始吸引別人了。你會(huì)發(fā)覺，做一塊能激起好意漣漪的小石頭有多么值得。
Then the make—believe becomes a reality。 You possess the secret of peace of mind， and can forget yourself in being of service to others。
然后假裝就變成了現(xiàn)實(shí)。你擁有了使心靈平靜的秘密，會(huì)因幫助他人而忘我。
Being happy， once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit， opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends。
一旦你認(rèn)識(shí)到快樂是一種責(zé)任并使快樂成為習(xí)慣，通向不可思議的樂園的大門就會(huì)向你敞開，那里滿是感激你的朋友。
