We are traveling by train.Out the windows, wedrink inthe passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving a...
引言： 沉默本身也是一种思想和心境的流露，是灵魂的另一种形式的回声。 Indeed, for a living being there is no such thing as true silence, for silence itself is a revelation of the mind and the heart, an echo of the soul of a different form. Some people use silence as a disguise of the emptiness of the head. Some use it as a means to depict their disorientation and melancholy. A...

引言： 只要一个人认同了他的个体性、接受他的恐惧、选择了目标、怀着希望奋勇前进，那么他就真正地战胜生活了。 With age comes experience and with experience comes knowledge and understanding. No one individual is ever completed with his or her growth.

There is nofrigatelike a book ——Emily Dickinson There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away, Nor any coursers like a page Ofprancingpoetry. This traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of toll; How frugal is thechariot That bears a human soul! 有哪艘帆船像书一样 没有哪艘帆船像书本一样， 带我们跨越万水千山， 也没有一匹骏马， 比得上一页欢腾的诗篇。 没有旅费的窘...

During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence. So in the distance he could see the house with golden windows. He thought, how great it would be to live there! And his mind would wander to imagine the modern ...
编者按： 人与人之间没什么大的区别。他们皆是伟大与渺小、善良与邪恶、高贵与低贱的混合体。 On Motes and Beams It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much lessheinousthan the offenses of others. I suppose the reason is that we know all the circumstances that have occasioned them and so manage to excuse in ourselves what we cannot excuse in others. We turn our attenti...
Love I love you not because of who you are,but because of who I am when I am with you. No man or woman is worth your tears,and the one who is ,won’t make you cry. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can’t have them. Never frown,even when you are sad,because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. To the worl...
Over the rainbow ——E. Y. Harburg Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There’s a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Someday I’ll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops A way above the chimney tops That...
The Love of Beauty The love of beauty is an essential part of all healthy human nature. It is a moral quality. The absence of it is not an assured ground of condemnation, but the presence of it is an invariable sign of goodness of heart. In proportion to the degree in which it is felt will probably be the degree in which nobleness and beauty of character will be attained. Na...
Trees I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree; A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain, Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But o...
Roll Away the Stone I enjoy life because I am endlessly interested in people and their growth. My interest leads me to widen my knowledge of people, and this in turn compels me to believe in the common goodness of mankind. I believe that the normal human heart is born good. That is, it’s born sensitive and feeling, eager to be approved and to approve, hungry for simple happi...

编者按： 孤独，是忧愁的伴侣，也是精神活动的密友。 ——纪伯伦【黎】 Solitude I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we s...
