過往雲煙英語怎麼翻譯

Ⅰ 短篇英語美文摘抄

巴黎文化

Ah, beautiful paris. For centuries this city has attracted the admiration of the an outdoor concert nearby classical, jazz, opera or chansons, those French folk songs. parisians love their music. The starry sky is their auditorium. You can also hear concerts in the chateaux and cathedrals. In paris the Music never ends.

Don't miss the highlight of paris evening: eating out. parisians are proud of their cuisine. And rightly so; it's s up in front of you the Notre Dame Cathedral （Cathedral of Our Lady）。 Stand in the square in front of the cathedral. Here, you are standing in the center of France. All distances are measured from the front of Notre Dame. Every road in France leads to her front door. All French kings and leaders have journeyed here to commemorate important occasions and give thanks. Notre Dame is the heart ofparis and the heart of France.

Your visit in paris has only just begun. You've just started to discover the charm ofthis old city. May the rest of yourjoumey be unforgettable. pany,even panion that es home at night he cannot sit doy that the latter does, though it may be a more condensed form of it.

大部分時候，我發現獨處都是有益於健康的。有滑枝臘人陪伴，即使是最好的同伴，不久也會心生厭煩，興致將消散。我愛獨處。我沒有遇見比孤獨更好的伴侶了。我們置身國外，立行人群之中，通常比獨處室內更加寂寞。一個思考著的或工作著的人總是孤獨的，就讓他去他想去的地方吧。孤獨不是以和同伴之間的距離里程來衡量的。真正勤奮的學生，在劍橋學院一個擁擠的蜂房裡，就像沙漠中的苦行僧一樣孤單。農夫可以整日在田間或林中獨自工作，耕地或者伐木，卻並不感到寂寞，因為他有活兒干；可是當他晚上回到家中，卻不能在房間坐下獨自思考，而必須去「能看到鄉親」的地方消遣娛樂，正如他所想的，去補償他五天的孤寂；因此他不明白學生如何可以整日整夜地獨坐在家裡，而不感到倦怠和「優郁」；但他沒有意識到，學生雖然身處室內，卻依然在自己的田野上耕耘，在自己的森林中採伐。就像農夫在他的田地林間工作一樣，之後學生也和農夫一樣要去尋求消遣，山要去交朋結友，搭悶只是娛樂方式可能更加簡明一些。

短篇英語美文摘抄（三）

e to open war.ter if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live.The value of a man is not in his skin.

我們相聚的時間十分短暫，沒有足夠的時間讓彼此獲得任何有價值的新事物。我們在信滑一日三餐的時候見面，我們就如陳腐的奶略，卻讓彼此相互品嘗出新味道。我們必須一致同意若干條規則，也就是我們所謂的禮節和禮貌，使這種經常的聚會相安無事，我們還要一致同意我們沒有爭吵的必要。我們在郵局碰面，在社交場合碰面，每天晚上在爐火邊碰面；我們生活得很擁擠，相互干擾，彼此牽絆，我想，我們因此失去了對彼此的尊重。當然，所有重要的、真誠的溝通，次數少一些就足夠了。想一想工廠里的女工——永遠不會獨處，甚至在夢中也難得是獨自一人。如果一平方英里只有一個居民，就像我這樣，那要好多了。一個人的價值不在於他的外在。

英語美文摘抄

Man's youth is a e to.

為什麼如此？因為在青春時代，生活充滿了奇特而辛酸的不可思議的事。我們在青春年少時帶著悲喜交集的心情，十分強烈而不可名狀地感受到人生的奇特辛酸、不 可思議的經歷。其實質是什麼呢？其實質是這樣的：青春年少的時候，雖然殷實富足，卻非常貧窮；雖然力氣強大，卻一無所有；世間的富貴榮華觸目皆是，簡直可 以呼吸到，聞到嗅到，還可以品嘗到，心中的自信按捺不住，深切地感受到整個被陶醉了的生活——人類迄今為止所知道的最幸運、最富有的美好幸福的生活， 只要我們決定向前邁步，奮發努力，便立即歸我們所有了，並將永遠屬於我們。然而，我們知道，我們真的永遠不能抓到什麼，永遠不能獲得什麼，永遠不能佔有什 么。一切匆匆過去，盪然無存。我們一出手它就煙消雲散，飄然而去，一去不復返了。於是，心中泛起陣陣隱痛，看到了自己真實的面孔，看到了自己未來生活的必 然走向。

英語美文摘抄（三）

A young man is so strong， so mad， so certain， and so lost. He has everything and he is able to use nothing. He hurls the great shoulder of his strength forever against phantasmalbarriers， he is a parison.

青年人非常堅強，狂熱自信，但容易迷惘混沌，雖然機緣無數，卻把握不住，雖然身強體壯，試圖沖破重重虛幻的屏障，卻如同一個波浪，最終還是無力地消失在曠 遠浩淼的大海中央，他伸出手想要抓住斑斕的雲煙，他想得到世間的萬物，渴望主宰一切，最終卻是一無所獲。最後，他被自己的力量所毀滅，被自己的飢餓所吞 食，被自己的財富弄得貧窮潦倒。他對金錢或財富的積累不以為意漫不經心，然而最終還是被自己的貪欲所吞噬。

英語美文摘抄（四）

And that is the reason why， when youth is gone， every man will look back upon that period of his life with infinite sorrow and regret. It is the bitter sorrow and regret of a man who knows that once he had a great talent and wasted it ， of a man who knows that once he had a great treasure and got nothing from it ， of a man who knows that he had strength enough for everything and never used it.

青春消逝，驀然回首，無論是誰，心中都會充滿無盡的憂傷，充滿無窮的懊悔。曾經才智卓越，卻白白浪費了，曾經財富殷實，卻一無所有，曾經本事高強，卻從未利用。一個認識到自己失落青春的人回憶起來總是充滿悲傷和懊悔。

They located the right chimney by tapping at the walls and listening for the man's cries. After chipping through a wall which was eighteen inches thick, they found that a man had been trapped in the chimney. As it was extremely narrow, the man was unable to move, but the firemen were eventually able to free him by cutting a huge hole in the wall. The sorry-looking, blackened figure that emerged, at once admitted that he had tried to break into the shop ring the night but had got stuck in the chimney. He had been there for nearly ten hours. Justice had been done even before the man was handed over to the police.

"正義"這個詞常常是同法庭連在一起的。當某人被證據確鑿地證明無罪的時候，我們也許會說正義得到了伸張。正義是復雜的法律機器組成部分。那些尋求正義的人走的是一條崎嶇的道路，從來沒有把握他們最終將到正義。法官無論如何聰明與有名，畢竟也是人，也會出差錯的。

在個別情況下，正義不再是一種抽象概念。獎懲的實施是不受人意志支配的。在這種時候，正義像一種有生命的力量行使其職能。當我們說"他罪有應得"這句話的時候，我們部分承認了某種特定的環境使得正義自動地起了作用。

一天上午，當一個小偷在一家大型珠寶店裡被人抓住的時候，店員一定會忍不住說："他罪有應得。"那是一座老式的、經過改造的房子，店裡有許多廢置不用的大壁爐和又高又窄的煙囪。快到中午的時候，一個女售貨員聽見從一堵牆里傳出一種悶聲悶氣的叫聲。由於這種喊叫聲重復了幾次，她跑去報告經理，經理當即給消防隊掛了電話。喊叫聲肯定是從煙囪里傳出來的，然而，因為煙囪太多，消防隊員無法確定到底是哪一個。他們通過叫擊煙囪傾叫聲而確定傳出聲音的那個煙囪。他們鑿透了18英寸厚的牆壁，發現有個人卡在煙囪里。由於煙囪太窄，那人無法動彈。消防隊員在牆上挖了個大洞，才終於把他解救出來。那個看來滿臉沮喪、渾身漆黑的傢伙從煙囪里一出來，就承認頭天夜裡他企圖到店裡行竅，但讓煙囪卡住了。他已經在煙囪里被困了將近10個小時。甚至在那人還沒被送交給警察之前，正義就已得到了伸張。

初一英語美文摘抄

If the past has taught us anything,it is that every cause brings effect -- every actionhas a consequence.This thought,in my opinion,is the moral foundation of the universe; it applies equally in this e ething simple can completely reshape your life.It's just like the Butterfly Effect and you never knopetition the human heart.

Ah, hoence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity.

We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.

抱負

一個缺乏抱負的世界將會怎樣，這不難想像。或許，這將是一個更為友善的世界：沒有渴求，沒有磨擦，沒有失望。人們將有時間進行反思。他們所從事的工作將不是為了他們自身，而是為了整個集體。競爭永遠不會介入；沖突將被消除。人們的緊張關系將成為過往雲煙。創造的重壓將得以終結。藝術將不再惹人費神，其功能將純粹為了慶典。人的壽命將會更長，因為由激烈拼爭引起的心臟病和中風所導致的死亡將越來越少。焦慮將會消失。時光流逝，抱負卻早已遠離人心。

啊，長此以往人生將變得多麼乏味無聊！

有一種盛行的觀點認為，成功是一種神話，因此抱負亦屬虛幻。這是不是說實際上並不豐在成功？成就本身就是一場空？與諸多運動和事件的力量相比，男男女女的努力顯得微不足？顯然，並非所有的成功都值得景仰，也並非所有的抱負都值得追求。對值得和不值得的選擇，一個人自然而然很快就能學會。但即使是最為憤世嫉俗的人暗地裡也承認，成功確實存在，成就的意義舉足輕重，而把世上男男女女的所作所為說成是徒勞無功才是真正的無稽之談。認為成功不存在的觀點很可能造成混亂。這種觀點的本意是一筆勾銷所有提高能力的動機，求取業績的興趣和對子孫後代的關注。

我們無法選擇出生，無法選擇父母，無法選擇出生的歷史時期與國家，或是成長的周遭環境。我們大多數人都無法選擇死亡，無法選擇死亡的時間或條件。但是在這些無法選擇之中，我們的確可以選擇自己的生活方式：是勇敢無畏還是膽小怯懦，是光明磊落還是厚顏無恥，是目標堅定還是隨波逐流。我們決定生活中哪些至關重要，哪些微不足道。我們決定，用以顯示我們自身重要性的，不是我們做了什麼，就是我們拒絕做些什麼。但是不論世界對我們所做的選擇和決定有多麼漠不關心，這些選擇和決定終究是我們自己做出的。我們決定，我們選擇。而當我們決定和選擇時，我們的生活便得以形成。最終構築我們命運的就是抱負之所在。

第5篇Ambition抱負
Joseph Epstein
It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: without demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity. Competition would never enter in. Conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.

Ah, how unrelievedly boring life would be?

There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events? Now not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on one』s own. But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, in attainment, and regard for posterity.

We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition about.
