初中晨讀美文英語摘抄1
I was 45 years old when I decided to learn how to surf.
They say that life is tough enough.
But I guess I like to make things difficult on myself, because I do that all the time.
Every day and on purpose.
That's because I believe in disrupting my comfort zone.
When I started out in the entertainment business, I made a list of people that I thought would be good to me.
Not people who could give me a job or a deal, but people who could shake me up, teach me something, challenge my ideas about myself and the world.
So I started calling up experts in all kinds of fields.
Some of them were world-famous.
Of course, I didn't know any of these people and none of them knew me.
So when I called these people up to ask them for a meeting, the response wasn't always friendly.
And even when they agreed to give me some of their time,the results weren't always what one might describe as pleasant.
Take, for example, Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb.
It took me a year of begging and more begging to get to him to agree to meet with me.
And then what happened? He ridiculed me and insulted me.
But that was okay.
I was hoping to learn something from him—and I did,even if it was only that I'm not that interesting to a physicist with no taste for our pop culture.
Over the last 30 years, I've produced more than 50 movies and 20 television series.
I'm successful and, in my business, pretty well known.
So why do I continue to subject myself to this sort of thing?
The answer is simple:
Disrupting my comfort zone, bombarding myself with challenging people and situations—this is the best way that I know to keep growing.
And to paraphrase a biologist I once met,if you're not growing, you're dying.
So maybe I'm not the best surfer on the north shore, but that's okay.
The discomfort, the uncertainty, the physical and mental challenge that I get from this—all the things that too many of us spend our time and energy trying to avoid—they are precisely the things that keep me in the game.
初中晨讀美文英語摘抄2
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability.
Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring;for ornament, is in discourse;and for ability, is in the judgement and disposition of business.
For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one;but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs,come best from those that are learned.
To spend too much time in studies is sloth;to use them too much for ornament,is affectation;to make judgement wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar.
They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience:for natural abilities are like natural plants,that need pruning by study;and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large,except they be bounded in by experience.
Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them;for they teach not their own use;but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.
Read not to contradict and confute;nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse;but to weigh and consider.
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed,and some few to be chewed and digested;that is, some books are to be read only in parts;others to be read, but not curiously;and some few to be read wholly,and with diligence and attention.
Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others;but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books;else distilled books are, like common distilled waters, flashy things.
Reading makes a full man； conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
And therefore,if a man write little，he had need have a great memory;if he confer little, he had need have a present wit;and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know that he does not.
Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle;natural philosophy deep; moral grave;logic and rhetoric able to contend.
擴(kuò)展閱讀：網(wǎng)絡(luò)美文
概念
在各種競爭日益激烈的今天，在網(wǎng)絡(luò)中，很多人都會(huì)喜歡一些比較傷感的美文，人們通過閱覽這種文章來對自己的心情進(jìn)行調(diào)解，以此為一種精神上的寄托，從而延伸出了人們平時(shí)所說的傷感美文、唯美美文之類的一些分支。
隨著文學(xué)概念的演變和文學(xué)體裁的發(fā)展，網(wǎng)絡(luò)美文的.概念也時(shí)有變化，其本身按其內(nèi)容和形式的不同，又可分為其他的一些分支。
特點(diǎn)
優(yōu)美，生動(dòng)有趣。 是現(xiàn)代語言藝術(shù)文學(xué)體裁的一種典范，并具有比較高的審美價(jià)值。在長期網(wǎng)絡(luò)流傳過程中，它澆灌了各個(gè)時(shí)代的文學(xué)園地，也灌溉了歷代文人，至今仍使人們受益。
文學(xué)是表達(dá)人生和傳達(dá)思想感情的，通常來說，小說、詩歌、戲劇無論是在結(jié)構(gòu)上，還是在格律、剪裁、對話等安排布局上，都有很嚴(yán)格的要求：而散文，卻可以自由些。看起來只是不經(jīng)意地抒寫著一己的經(jīng)歷和感受，所表現(xiàn)的多是零星雜碎的片段人生。

英語美文摘抄（一）
When Love Beckons You
When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
But if, in your fear, you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
愛的召喚
當(dāng)愛召喚你時(shí)，請追隨她，盡管愛的道路艱難險(xiǎn)峻。當(dāng)愛的羽翼擁抱你時(shí)，請順從她，盡管隱藏在其羽翼之下的劍可能會(huì)傷到你。當(dāng)愛向你訴說時(shí)，請相信她，盡管她的聲音可能破你的夢想，就如北風(fēng)吹落花園里所有的花瓣。
愛會(huì)給你戴上桂冠，也會(huì)折磨你。愛會(huì)助你成長，也會(huì)給你修枝。愛會(huì)上升到枝頭，撫愛你在陽光下顫動(dòng)力的嫩枝，也會(huì)下潛至根部，撼動(dòng)力你緊抓泥土的根基。
但是，如果你在恐懼之中只想尋求愛的平和與快樂，那你就最好掩蓋真實(shí)的自我，避開愛的考驗(yàn)，進(jìn)入不分季節(jié)的世界，在那里你將歡笑，但并非開懷大笑，將哭泣，但并非盡情地哭。愛只將自己付出，也只得到自己。愛一無所有，也不會(huì)為誰所有，因?yàn)閻郾旧砭鸵炎宰恪?/p>
愛除啦實(shí)現(xiàn)自我別無他求。但是如果你愛而又不得不有所求，那就請期望：
將自己融化并像流的溪水一般向夜晚吟唱自己優(yōu)美的曲調(diào)。
明啦過的溫柔所帶來的苦痛。
被自己對愛的理解所傷害；
并情愿快樂地悲傷。
在黎明帶著輕快的心醒來并感謝又一個(gè)有家的日子；
在黃昏懷著感恩之心回家；
然后為內(nèi)心所愛之人祈禱，吟唱贊美之歌，并帶著禱告和歌聲入眠。
英語美文摘抄（二）
Be Happy!
“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.
“快樂的日子使人睿智?！?/p>
——約翰·梅斯菲爾德
第一次讀到英國桂冠詩人梅斯菲爾德的這行詩時(shí)，我感到十分震驚。他想表達(dá)什么意思？我以前從未對此仔細(xì)考慮，總是認(rèn)定這行詩反過來才正確。但他冷靜而又胸有成竹的表達(dá)引起啦我的注意，令我無法忘懷。
終于，我似乎領(lǐng)會(huì)啦他的意思并意識到這行詩意義深遠(yuǎn)?？鞓穾淼?睿智存在于敏銳的洞察力之間，不會(huì)因憂慮而含混迷惑，也不會(huì)因絕望和厭倦而黯然模糊，更不會(huì)因恐懼而造成盲點(diǎn)。
積極的快樂 – 并非單純的滿意或知足 – 通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然綻放。然后，你就會(huì)發(fā)覺與快樂結(jié)伴而來的究竟是種智慧。草地更為青翠，鳥吟更為甜美，朋友的缺點(diǎn)也變得更能讓人理解，寬容?？鞓肪拖袷且桓毖坨R，可以矯正你的精神視力。
快樂的視野并不限于你周圍的事物。當(dāng)你不快樂時(shí)，你的思維陷入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就像是被一道墻給阻隔啦，而當(dāng)你快樂時(shí)，這道墻就會(huì)砰然倒塌。
你的眼界變得為寬廣。你腳下的大地，你身邊的世界，包括人，思想，情感和壓力，現(xiàn)在都融入啦更為廣闊的景象之中，其間每件事物 的比例都更加合理。而這就是睿智的起始。
英語美文摘抄（三）
The Goodness of Life
Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed.
For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, kindness and compassion.
For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.
There is goodness to life that cannot be denied.
In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details, look closely, for that goodness always comes shining through.
There si no limit to the goodness of life. It grows more abundant with each new encounter. The more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.
Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be cov ered in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives on. Open your eyes, open your heart, and you will see that goodness is everywhere.
Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks, it always endures. For in the darkest moment it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure.
And so the goodness of life is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.
Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life was really only a moment away.
Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and delight you.
Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts. Then, share your good fortune with another.
For the goodness of life grows more and more magnificent each time it is given away.
Though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage ever stronger, the goodness of life grows stronger still, quietly, peacefully, with more purpose and meaning than ever before.
生命的美好
盡管有很多事讓人憂慮，但相比而言，值得感激的事要多得多。盡管生命的美好有時(shí)被蒙上陰影，但它卻永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)被埋沒。
相對于每一個(gè)無謂的破壞行為而言，都有更多數(shù)千計(jì)更為微小的，包含著愛，友善和同情的舉動(dòng)靜靜地上演著。相對于每一個(gè)試圖傷害他人的人而言，都有更多的人致于幫助他人，治愈他人的創(chuàng)傷。
生命的美好不能否認(rèn)。
在最為壯觀的前景和最為瑣碎的細(xì)節(jié)中，請仔細(xì)觀察，因?yàn)槊篮玫氖挛锟偸巧l(fā)著耀眼的光芒閃亮登場。
生命的美好沒有界限。每一次相遇都會(huì)使這美好變得越發(fā)豐富。你經(jīng)歷得越多，越能欣賞生命的美好，生命中的美好就會(huì)變得越多。
即使當(dāng)寒風(fēng)襲來，整個(gè)世界似乎被霧氣掩蓋之時(shí)，生命的美好仍會(huì)存在。睜開雙眼，打開心扉，你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這美好無處不在。
盡管生命的美好有時(shí)似乎遭受挫折，但它總會(huì)挺過來。因?yàn)?，在最黑暗的時(shí)刻，有一點(diǎn)變得格外清楚，那就是，生命是無價(jià)的財(cái)富。因此，下正是與生命的美好相對立事物使其越強(qiáng)大。
無數(shù)次地，當(dāng)你擔(dān)心這美好已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)離之時(shí)，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)命的美好其實(shí)只與你相隔須臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每個(gè)時(shí)刻之間，等著給你驚喜。
花些時(shí)間讓生命的美好感動(dòng)自己的靈魂，放松自己的思緒。然后，把你的幸運(yùn)與他人分享。因?yàn)樯拿篮脮?huì)在每次給予之間變得越來越壯觀。
盡管總是有問題讓你去關(guān)注，沖突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命的美好卻總是靜靜地，平和地，帶著比以往更強(qiáng)的意志和更多的價(jià)值變得更加強(qiáng)大。
Eliminate Internal Negative Chatter
The first step is one of awareness. It will be hard to make a change to positive thinking without being acutely intimate with the thoughts that run through your mind. Recently, I was amazed to discover deep buried emotions from negative thoughts that I had for fewer than 10 minutes. Without awareness, I would have carried the hurt and anger inside. Awareness helped me to bring them out to the open for me to deal with.
Undoubtedly it will not be easy to make a switch if you have a long history or negative self talk. Your talk became negative over the years due to various factors. For instance, if your first grade teacher repeatedly told you that you were "stupid", you might believe it to be truly the case. You would find that your inner chatter would often be filled with talk of "I am so slow" and "it is so hard to learn". If you constantly tell yourself such negative stories, your actions are going to reflect your low self esteem. It will be difficult to get very far if you are always putting yourself down.
A common negative talk involves telling yourself "I can’t". When you say to yourself "I can’t" or "it is too difficult", you are creating a resistance. Having such a mental block will prevent you from achieving a task you could otherwise succeed at.
Anytime you catch yourself saying "I can’t…", turn around and challenge your own claim with, "Why can’t I?" Research shows that most geniuses became the people they are also because of the hard work they put in. So if you would like to be successful, you need to start saying "I can" a lot more.
A great method that I have also found useful is to say "Cancel Cancel" each time I find myself saying something negative, whether in the mind or verbally. The method works if you sincerely have the intent of becoming a positive thinker.
英語文章摘抄（二）
positive Affirmations
Affirmations are positive statements of a desired outcome or goal. They are usually short, believable and focused. By repeating them over and over again, you build inroads into your subconscious mind, opening up the possibility of a new state of thoughts.
An important step when repeating affirmations is that you need to read your affirmations aloud with feeling. The mere reading of the words bears no consequence unless you put some emotions behind them. Of significant fact is that your subconscious mind takes any orders given in complete faith and after repeated self talk. So the daily practice of repeating affirmations is important.
Initially you may be skepticism toward the statement of your positive affirmation. However, if you follow this simple set of instructions your skepticism will soon give way to a new set of beliefs and then crystallized into absolute faith.
英語文章摘抄（三）
positive Scripts
One thing that you may observe is on how easy it is for your mind to build negative thought upon negative thought. The chatter not only does not stop but it spins a drama that traps and limits you.
From now on, regularly do this exercise instead. Spin an uplifting story that runs like a movie script. Some visualization will be helpful. You build on a story with a positive outline. The longer you can tell this story to yourself the better. It is also best if you can make this story one about having all your goals achieved. When you do this, you start to internalize your goals and dreams, as if they are something that you have already achieved.
英語文章摘抄（四）
Replace Negative Influences with positive Ones
It is important that you identify external negative factors in your life which may be holding your thoughts hostage. For instance, your mental state can become toxic by being around friends who are negative. If you are not vigilant enough, you will start to adopt their thoughts as your own. Hence, be alert to what your negative influences are. If they come from certain friends, limit your exposure to them as much as you can. Refrain from discussing your plans with people who will be unsupportive of your dreams and goals.
Instead surround yourself with thoughts and actions from people who will empower you.
From being uninspired and de-motivated, you will begin to feel uplifted and driven to greater self growth. The positive energy that they vibrate will start affecting the self talk that you engage in as well.
英語文章摘抄（五）
Present Tense Messages
You may find yourself daunted by the many things you need to do in order to reach your goals. It just seems overwhelming to become the success that you secretly desire for. Your mind gets caught up in an endless stream of worry.
What may be helpful is to concentrate on steps you can take in the present. If you find yourself becoming stuck, stop and say, "What can I do right now?" Change your internal talk from a future anxiety ridden one to one that is about the more manageable present. You cannot control what will happen in the future but you can take the necessary steps now that will build a better tomorrow. Taking the necessary steps require you to focus your thoughts and inner talk on Now.
英語文章摘抄（六）
Confront Fears
Fear is often what holds you back from your success. You are scared of taking chances because you fear losing the security that you enjoy now. You try to convince yourself that you are happy in your current state when in fact, you are not. Your self talk may sound positive in your attempt to lie to yourself. But somehow, there is an inner knowing that you are short changing yourself.
Ask yourself what you are afraid of. What can be the worst that can happen? Take a step-by-step approach in breaking down your fears and see if there is any way round to looking at things more positively. When you confront your fears, you will often realize that the worst case scenario is not as bad as you think. In fact, the benefits of change are worth the risk. Your inner talk begins to change at this point.
