Then he said aloud, &quotI wish I had the boy. To help me and to see this.&quot然后他说出声来：“但愿孩子在就好了。可以帮我一手，让他见识见识这种光景。”No one should be alone in their old age, he thought. But it is unavoidable. I must remember to eat the tuna before he spoils in order to keep strong. Remember, no matter how little you

Stars on a Snowy Night雨雪时候的星辰The thermometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero, but still chose to sleep in the porch as usual.寒暑表降到冰点下十八度的时候，我们也是在廊下睡觉。In the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the sky.每夜最熟识的就是天上的星辰了。Though they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots, yet I

Quadrupeds are confined to their coverts and the birds sit upon their perches this peaceful hour.四足动物都躲藏起来了，小鸟在这平和的时刻里也休息了，There is not so much sound as in fair weather, but silently and gradually every slope, and the gray walls and fences, and the polished ice, and the sere leaves, which were not b

If I were only a little puppy, not your baby, mother dear, would you say &quotNo&quot to me if I tried to eat from your dish?如果我只是一只小狗，而不是你的小孩，亲爱的妈妈，当我想吃你的盘里的东西时，你要向我说“不”么？Would you drive me off, saying to me, &quotGet away, you naughty little puppy?&quot你要赶开我，对我说道：“滚开，你这淘气的小狗”么？Then go, mother, go!

THERE is nothing in Italy，more beautiful to me，than the coast- road between Genoa and Spezzia.我看来，位于热那亚和斯培两职之间的那条滨海大道，意大利再没有什么可以与之相媲美的了。On one side：sometimes far below，sometimes nearly on a level with the road，and often skirted by broken rocks of many shapes：一面是奔腾的蓝色海洋,它时而水位很低,时而几乎与路面持平。海水的边缘被碎石隔成许多

Then he felt the gentle touch on the line and he was happy.跟着他感到钓索轻轻地动了一下，他高兴了。&quotIt was only his turn,&quot he said. &quotHe&#39ll take it.&quot“它刚才不过是在转身，”他说。“它会咬饵的。”He was happy feeling the gentle pulling and then he felt something hard and unbelievably heavy. It was the weight of the fish and

Of course, we are speaking of tea as drunk by connoisseurs and not as generally served among shopkeepers.我们所描写的当然是指鉴赏家的饮茶，而不是像店辅中的以茶奉客。No such nicety can be expected of general mankind or when tea is consumed by the gallon by all comers.这种雅举不是普通人所能办到，也不是人来人往，论碗解渴的地方所能办到。That is why the author of Ch&

This is real.这是真的。There was once a daughter of a tolerably well-off family in the country who was very lovely and sought out by many matchmakers, although nothing had come of their efforts.有个村庄的小康之家的女孩子，生得美，有许多人来做媒，但都没有说成。That year, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.那年她不过十五六岁吧，One spring eve

The wind has gently murmured through the blinds, or puffed with feathery softness against the windows,and occasionally sighed like a summer zephyr lifting the leaves along, the livelong night.微风缓缓地吹着百叶窗，吹在窗上，非常温柔，像羽毛似的偶尔也会犹如几声叹息，听起来像夏日漫漫长夜里风轻抚着树叶的声音。The meadow mouse has slept in his snug gallery in

He was in the first third grade class I taught at Saint Mary&#39s School in Morris, Minn. All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million. Very neat in appearance, he had that happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occasional mischievousness delightful.我在明尼苏达州莫里斯的圣

I should look deep into the canvases of Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Rembrandt.我要仔细端详拉斐尔、达芬奇、提香和瑞姆布兰特的油画。I should want to feast my eyes upon the warm colors of Veronese, study the mysteries of E1 Greco, catch a new vision of Nature from Corot.我要让我的眼睛饱享维勒内兹那炽烈的色彩，研究埃尔·格列科的神秘，从科罗那里领略大自然的新视觉。Oh,

There will be tufts of iris everywhere, arising up proud and tender. When the rose-coloured wild gladiolus is mingled in the corn, and love-in-the-mist opens blue: in May and June, before the corn is cut.世界将变成一丛丛蝴蝶花的天下，它们得意而柔嫩地昂起头。五六月。谷物还没收割的时候。在野外，玫瑰色的唐菖蒲就会混合在谷物中。而黑种草开着蓝色的花朵。But as yet is neither M

He did not remember when he had first started to talk aloud when he was by himself. He had sung when he was by himself in the old days and he had sung at night sometimes when he was alone steering on his watch in the smacks or in the turtle boats. He had probably started to talk aloud, when alone, w

They ordered him to be silent.他们命令他闭嘴。But he spoke.但他偏要说话。Upon the Old Men he turned his back and his eyes sought those who but a short time before had been his comrades.他把脊背转向老者，两眼搜寻着不久以前还与他志同道合的人。“Listen to me,” he implored.“听我说吧，”他恳求道，“Listen to me and be rejoiced.“听我说，大家都高兴起来吧！I have come back f

There is a solid bottom everywhere.所有地方的底部都是结实的。We read that the traveler asked the boy if the swamp before him had a hard bottom.我们从书中得知这样一个故亊，一个旅行者问一个男孩，前方的这块沼泽底部是不是坚固。The boy replied that it had.男孩回答道是坚固的。But presently the traveler&#39s horse sank in up to the girths, and he observed to the boy,I

And then you see what happens.现在，你知道出了什么事…Ah! it has been the great misfortune of our Alsace always to postpone its lessons until to-morrow.唉！我们阿尔萨斯人的最大不幸就是把教育拖延到明天。Now those people are entitled to say to us:现在，那些人有权利对我们说：What! you claim to be French, and you can neither speak nor write your languag

The enjoyment of these things, like the enjoyment of the moon, the snow and the flowers, must take place in proper company, for this I regard as the thing that the Chinese artists of life most frequently insist upon: that certain kinds of flowers must be enjoyed with certain types of persons, certai

&quotGoing my way, soldier?&quot she murmured. he made one step closer to her. Then he saw Hollis Meynell.“问路吗，军人？”她轻轻地说。他又走近一步，接着，他看到了霍丽丝梅内尔。She was standing almost directly behind the girl, a woman well past 40, her graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump her thick-ankled fee

And now that it is March, there is a rush of flowers.现在正是三月，也是花儿竞相开放的时节。Down by the other stream, which turns sideways to the sun, and tangles the brier and bramble, down where the hellebore has stood so wan and dignified all winter, there are now white tufts of primroses, suddenly come.在其他一些朝太阳方向流动

Many others are being worked at this momentothers are to be begun to-morrow，next week，next monthothers are unbought，unthought of；and marble enough for more ages than have passed since the place was resorted to，lies hidden everywhere： patiently awaiting its time of discovery.另外有许多山洞是新近开采的；有一些可能会在明天，下

Six minutes to six, said the clock over the information booth in Grand Central Station. The tall young Army lieutenant who had just come from the direction of the tracks lifted his sunburned face, and his eyes narrowed to note the exact time. His heart was pounding with a beat that shocked him becau

Hence as a Chinese writer expresses it:For enjoying flowers, one must secure big-hearted friends.For going to a sing-song houses to have a look at sing-song girls, one must secure temperate friends. For going up a high mountain, one must secure romantic friends. For boating, one must secure friends

Before long, the entire class was smiling. &quotReally?&quot I heard the whispers. &quotI never knew that meant anything to anyone!&quot &quotI didn&#39t know others liked me so much!&quot Then Mark said, &quotThank you for teaching me, Sister.&quot很快全班同学脸上都扬起了笑容。“真有这么好？”我听见有人轻声说。“我从不知道那会对别人有意义！”还有人

However mean your life is, meet it and live it.不管你的生活如何卑微，你都要正视它，生活下去。do not shirk it and call it hard names is not so bad as you are.不要逃避，也不要恶语相加。你的生活不像你自己想象的那么糟糕。It looks poorest when you are richest.当你最富有的时候，生活看上去反倒是最贫穷的。The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise.故意挑毛病的人即使在天堂也能挑出瑕疵。Love y

Some of the villages are inhabited，almost exclusively，by fishermen；有些村庄,所有居住的村民几乎都是渔民。and it is pleasant to see their great boats hauled up on the beach，making little patches of shade，where they lie asleep，他们被巨大的船只拖上海滩，形成一些荫凉，渔民会躺在那里休息；or where the women and children sit romping and looking out to s

Neither does the wisest man extort her secret, and lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection.如同大智慧者不会因穷尽自然的和谐底蕴而失去对她的好奇之心。Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit.自然之于智慧的心灵绝非玩具。The flowers, the animals, the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as much as they had delighted

And starring these tiers of leaves were white lotus flowers, alluringly open or bashfully in bud, like glimmering pearls, stars in an azure sky, or beauties fresh from the bath. The breeze carried past gusts of fragrance, like the strains of a song faintly heard from a far-off tower. And leaves and

In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains.那年晚夏，我们住在乡村一幢房子里，望得见隔着河流和平原的那些高山。In the bed of the river there were pebbles and boulders,河床里有鹅卵石和大圆石头，dry and white under the sun and the water is clear and swiftly moving and

This feeling mercifully mitigates the sense of responsibility which so easily becomes paralyzing,拥有这神心情，不仅宽厚地減轻了那种使人容易感到心有余而力不足的责任感，and it prevents us from taking ourselves and other people too seriously也避免了我们太过认真地对待自己和别人；it conduces to a view of life in which humor, above all, has its due place.同样有

But in the sunny countries, change is the reality and permanence is artificial and a condition of imprisonment. Hence, to the northerner, the phenomenal world is essentially tragical, because it is temporal and must cease to exist. Its very existence implies ceasing to exist, and this is the root of
