1. 简爱
Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.
For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.
To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.
Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’
That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

Wuthering Heights——《呼啸山庄》
You'll pass the churchyard, Mr Lockwood, on your way back to the Grange, and you'll see the three graverestones close to the moor. Catherine's, the middle one, is old now, and half buried in plants which have grown over it. On one side is Edgar Linton's, and on the other is Heathcliff's new one. If you stay there a moment, and watch the insects flying in the warm summer air, and listen to the soft wind breathing through the grass, you'll understand how quietly they rest, the sleepers in that quiet earth.
您回画眉山庄的路上会经过教堂墓地，洛克伍德先生，您可以看见靠近荒原的三个墓碑。中间凯瑟琳的已经很旧了，被周围生长的杂草掩盖住了一半。一边是艾加•林顿的，另一边是西斯克里夫的新墓碑。如果您在那儿呆一会儿，看着在温暖夏日的空气里纷飞的昆虫，听着在草丛中喘息的柔风，您就会知道在静谧的泥土下，长眠的人在多么平静的安息。

The Scarlet Letter——《红字》
The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognised it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison. In accordance with this rule, it may safely be assumed that the forefathers of Boston had built the first prison-house somewhere in the vicinity of Cornhill, almost as seasonably as they marked out the first burial-ground, on Isaac Johnson's lot, and round about his grave, which subsequently became the nucleus of all the congregated sepulchres in the old churchyard of King's Chapel. Certain it is that, some fifteen or twenty years after the settlement of the town, the wooden jail was already marked with weather-stains and other indications of age, which gave a yet darker aspect to its beetle-browed and gloomy front. The rust on the ponderous iron-work of its oaken door looked more antique than any thing else in the New World. Like all that pertains to crime, it seemed never to have known a youthful era. Before this ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pig-weed, apple-peru, and such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilised society, a prison. But, on one side of the portal, and rooted almost at the threshold, was a wild rose-bush, covered, in this month of June, with its delicate gems, which might be imagined to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom, in token that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him.
新殖民地的开拓者们，不管他们的头脑中起初有什么关于人类品德和幸福的美妙理想，总要在各种实际需要的草创之中，忘不了划出一片未开垦的处女地充当墓地，再则出另一片土地来修建监狱。根据这一惯例，我们可以有把握地推断：波士顿的先民们在谷山一带的某处地方修建第一座监狱，同在艾萨克.约朝逊①地段标出头一块垄地几乎是在同一时期。后来便以他的坟茔为核心，扩展成王家教堂的那一片累累墓群的古老墓地。可以确定无疑地说，早在镇子建立十五年或二十年之际，那座木造监狱就已经因风吹日晒雨淋和岁月的流逝而为它那狰狞和阴森的门面增加了几分晦暗凄楚的景象，使它那橡木大门上沉重的铁活的斑斑锈痕显得比新大陆的任何陈迹都益发古老。象一切与罪恶二字息息相关的事物一样，这座监狱似乎从来不曾经历过自己的青春韶华。从这座丑陋的大房子门前，一直到轧着车辙的街道，有一片草地，上面过于繁茂地簇生着牛蒡、茨藜、毒莠等等这类不堪入目的杂草，这些杂草显然在这块土地上找到了共通的东西，因为正是在这块土地上早早便诞生了文明社会的那栋黑花——监狱。然而，在大门的一侧，几乎就在门限处，有一丛野玫瑰挺然而立，在这六月的时分，盛开着精致的宝石般的花朵，这会使人想象，它们是在向步入牢门的囚犯或跨出阴暗的刑徒奉献着自己的芬芳和妩媚，借以表示在大自然的深深的心扉中，对他们仍存着一丝怜悯和仁慈。
【篇三】英语名著的经典段落带翻译
A Tale of Two Cities——《双城记》
They said of him that it was the most peaceful face ever seen there. What passed through Sydney Carton's mind as he walked those last steps to his death? Perhaps he saw into the future...
'I see Barsad, Defarge, the judges, all dying under this terrible machine. I see a beautiful city being built in this terrible place. I see that new people will live here, in real freedom. I see the lives for whom I give my life, happy and peaceful in that England which I shall never see again. I see Lucie when she is old, crying for me on this day every year, and I know that she and her husband remember me until their deaths. I see their son, who has my name, now a man. I see him become a famous lawyer and make my name famous by his work. I hear him tell his son my story.
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far far better rest than I go to, than I have ever known.'
人们谈论他说他的脸是在那种地方见过的最平静的脸。当西德尼·卡登迈着最后的步伐向死亡走去时，他的脑海中想到了什么呢?也许他看到了未来……
“我看到巴萨德、德法热、法官们都在这个可怕的机器下面死去。我看见一个美丽的城市正在这片可怕的土地上建立起来。我看到新一代的人民将在真正的自由中生活。我看到我为之付出生命的人们，他们幸福安宁的生活在我再也见不到的英国。我看见路西年老的时候，每一年的这一天都会为我哭泣，我知道她和她的丈夫会一直到死都记着我。我看见他们的儿子，有着和我一样的名字，现在长成了一个男人。我看见他成了一位的律师并通过他的工作而使我扬名四方。我听见他给他的儿子讲起我的故事。
我做的是一件很好的事。它远远好过我所做的所有的事。它将是一个很好的长眠，远比我所知道的要好。”

(7)每周名著阅读英语扩展阅读：
1、要想提高英语，有一项内容是万万不可忽视的—单词。不管你在“听说读写”下了多少苦功夫，只要词汇量少，那便很难有质的进步。所以想要提高英语的第一点便是“背单词”。
2、这里给大家简单介绍下三种核心背单词法。
（1）阅读记忆
顾名思义，阅读记忆指的是通过阅读英文文章与资料来记忆单词。在阅读过程中，可以按照将生词圈出、反复研读句子、勾画词组、了解替换词汇、搞定熟词辟义（如husband名词作为丈夫、动词作为节俭地）的顺序对单词进行记忆。
优点：能通过语境，从文章中了解单词实际及具体的用法；印象深刻；比较有趣
缺点：不能在短期内快速增加词汇量
（2）词根、词缀、词源、字母学规律
英语单词中大约有三分之二的单词含有词根词缀，通过词根词缀来记忆可以解决掉大部分单词。通常情况下，一个词的前缀表示肯定、否定、数字以及方向；后缀确定词性；而词根则表示该词的意义。相比之下，词源与字母学规律的记忆更适用于单音节词汇的记忆。
优点：短期内能迅速突破单词数量；有效记忆
缺点：难以使用到自己的语句中；记忆过程枯燥；容易忘记
（3）联想
编故事、编口诀、利用谐音法等联想方式帮助记忆词汇。如前段时间网络上流行的thank you（三克油）、twohands（偷汉子）等，都属于联想记忆的范畴。
优点：避免记忆词汇时出现枯燥与乏味的状态
缺点：不是所有单词都能使用这一方式记忆
4、背单词很重要的一点就是反复，每天都要将之前背过的单词再复习巩固一遍，不然很容易在刷完一遍后发现真正记住的没几个词。

My hobby is reading. I read story books, magazines, newspapers and any kind of material that I find interesting. This hobby got started when I was a little boy. I had always wanted my parents to read fairy tales and other stories to me. Soon they got fed up and tired of having to read to me continually. So as soon as I could, I learned to read. Soon I could read simple fairy tales and other stories. Now I read just about anything that is available. Reading enables me to learn about so many things that I would otherwise not know. I learned about how people lived in bygone days of magic and mystery. I learned about the wonders of the world, space travel, human achievements, gigantic whales, tiny viruses and other fascinating things of our world. Books provide the reader with so much information and facts. They have certainly helped me in my daily life. I am better equipped to cope with living. Otherwise I would go about ignorantly learning things the hard way. So I continue to read. Besides being more informed about the world, I also spend my time profitably. It is indeed a good hobby. 我叫刘帅跇，我的父母希望我能人如其名，凭借真才实学“潇洒走世界”。
人们常说：人小鬼大。我虽然入学年龄小，但我一直严格要求自己，积极向上，关心班级，热爱集体，入学六年来，年年被评为学校的“三好学生”、“优秀干部”和“学习小标兵”。
我的性格活泼开朗 、 乐观向上，是一个阳光女孩。我的学习成绩优异，却不是一个“书呆子”。通过竞聘，我连续三届当选为学校少先大队的大队委员及大队长，并且积极“参政议政”， 成为 老师的得力助手。我的爱好广泛：小提琴 、 古筝 、 乒乓球 、 舞蹈 、 声乐 、 绘画 、 书法等等，它们不仅使我的业余生活多姿多彩，而且不断增强我的自信心与荣誉感：小提琴和古筝均获得了九级证书，在葫芦岛市首届少儿声乐、器乐大赛中夺得一项金奖和一项铜奖。在葫芦岛市青少年乒乓球锦标赛上取得第四名的好成绩。我既是辽宁省首届小歌手大赛的第三名，参加了辽宁电视台的演出，又获得了葫芦岛市“故事大王”的称号。
我喜欢读书，歌德曾说过：“读书是和高尚的人谈话。” 高尔基爷爷也告诉我们：“热爱书籍吧，因为它是知识的源泉。”我在学龄前就开始阅读儿童版的“四大名著”，在妈妈的引导下，我正在钻研儿童版的《资治通鉴》和《论语》。我也喜欢英语，要“潇洒走世界”，当然少不了这个法宝。我还是葫芦岛市广播电台“少儿芳草地”栏目的特约小记者，每周都要到电台录制节目。
虽然众多的爱好和社会活动挤占了我的大部分业余时间， 但是这并没有成为我停滞不前的借口。“书山有路勤为径”，我不仅各科成绩在学校名列前茅，还在 2005 年全国小学生奥林匹克英语竞赛中一举夺魁，获得一等奖。对了，中英文演讲也是我的强项，每次都是前两名，了不起吧！
我每时每刻都对自己充满信心，虽然取得了不少成绩，但从不骄傲。我很善于交流，也喜欢交朋友；我喜欢音乐，也喜爱小品；我喜欢卡通，也喜爱武侠；我既看还珠格格，也看法制在线 …… 唉！我真是一个矛盾的多面体。不过，这样你们大家才能看到一个多姿多彩的我啊！
今年我已是毕业班的学生了，学习任务会更加繁重，但是我仍然会满怀热情地承担起少先大队大队长的重担，用我的聪明才智为实验二小锦上添花，让同学们的校园活动更加丰富多彩！
