英語文章欣賞

Ⅰ 英語美文小短文欣賞

英語美文小短文是課堂英語學習的補充閱讀材料，能讓學生在課後自行閱讀和背誦，這樣有利於學生擴充課外知識，培養語感和興趣。這些英語短文往往都蘊含著積極向上的主題，使學生感受到英語的魅力和閱讀的快樂，從而激發對英語的學習興趣以及獲得情感上的升華。那麼，如何欣賞英語美文小短文呢？
一、英語美文小短文中的英語知識
英語美文的篇幅都是很短小精煉的，由學生所學過的基礎的短句、句子所構成，句式成分簡單清晰，易於學生的理解。當學生在閱讀英語美文的時候，可以一邊進行英語知識的復習，一邊進行英語知識的積累和延伸。經常會出現同一個知識點在課本中和在美文中的運用有所不同，這樣來說，十分有利於學生在學習英語時培養出舉一反三的發散性思維能力。
二、英語美文小短文中的寫作技巧
英語美文“麻雀雖小”，但是它的“五臟俱全”，小編這里指的就是英語美文的結構整體上是很完整的。短文的好處就是能夠把一篇陌生的英語文章的結構清晰地展現在學生的面前，不會因為篇幅過長而使得學生感到厭倦。文中的開頭、主要內容、結尾段落劃分十分清楚，即使是段落中間每一句話也是層層遞進，有邏輯關系的，而且寫作時運用的語法也很簡單、片語准確，為學生模仿練習英語寫作提供了模板和技巧，帶給學生寫作形式上的點撥。
三、英語美文小短文中的情感價值
英語美文的“美”表現在學生閱讀時所產生的審美、腦海中的形象美和情感上的熏陶等方面，這也是英語美文和其他英語材料所不同的地方。上述兩點側重的是英語美文對於學生的知識和技能上面的培養，它存在於學生學習中的最大價值就是美文對於學生情感態度和價值觀上的培養。學生在理解英語美文的基礎上，進行自我感知，形成自己的體會，受用於生活的方方面面。
英語美文小短文不僅可以使學生開闊視野，增長知識，培養良好的英語自學能力和閱讀能力，可以進一步鞏固課內學到的英語知識，提高學生的理解水平和體會到作文的魅力，受到一定程度的寫作能力熏陶。更重要的是讓孩子們進一步明白做人的道理，使學生能健康快樂地成長。

Ⅱ 英語文章 美文賞析

There are few opportunities for me to physically go out of my city for sightseeing, and even fewer to take part in a tourist group. Such an occasion came when

I was invited to a day trip to Wujiaqu, or Five Family Creek, a new farm-turned

city 32 km away from Urumqi to which I』d never been before. Without the least

hesitation I accepted the invitation.

It was an outing organized by the local disabled persons』 federation. A 30-strong party of 「special citizens」 and their caretakers, it was a 「special group

」 consisting of people with cerebral palsy, polio, and permanent spinal cord injuries. A few sat in wheelchairs, some leaned on crutches, and still some limped around with their heads and hands turning and wringing at odd angles. They could create an attraction unique in its own! But each and every one of them wore

a happy face and talked animatedly with one another as I joined the lot on April 30, 2009.

「Disabled」 has always been a harsh word to me, however subconsciously admitted

I am to the fact that I belong to that 「lot.」 I was brought up in a world of

「normal people.」 There is literally nothing I cannot do in my parents』 loving care. The use of the Internet and the grasp of the English language have pushed me even further away from the consciousness that I am disabled. Right this

moment when I, for the second time, stood in the cool morning air with the 「lot

」 waiting for the charted bus, I became more than ever conscious of my 「nervous problems,」 and an hour of waiting seemed like an eternity.

Finally the bus arrived. I went on board with my mother and chose a seat by the

window in the second row. The engine started when everyone was seated with all

the wheelchairs secured in the aisle. From an attractive midget young lady two

seats away on my right, I retrieved my glance and focused it on the window. Past corn fields, vineyards, and vegetable plantations, the bus came to a halt one

hour later in what looked like a small parking lot of a scenic spot called 「The 4th Annual Exhibition of Tulips.」

Tulips! Tulips! Noble, graceful, attractive plants they are! Why is it that a plant looks to me almost like a gentle young lady? Ask Thumbelina from one of my picture books Mother used to read me when I was young – which depicted

a pretty girl climbing out of a tulip-like flower I have loved tulips ever since, but was never given a chance to get a real-life sight of them until now….

But it was not until the bus, with tremendous difficulty, maneuvered a few feet

closer to the entrance some 30 minutes later, did I get off to catch my first glimpse at my favorite flower.

Arranged in crescent beds are patches of red and yellow dazzling under the blazing sun. Despite the warning 「Stay where you are and we will have a group photo

taken in a moment,」 my legs take me to the nearest bed. Bending down, I fix my gaze at one particular tulip, which holds its six red petals on an upstanding

stem. Around the stem sprouted several half-folded triangular leaves like two little hands posed as if to support the stem and the flower. Inside the petals there is no little Thumbelina to be found but a tiny golden pistil standing up straight on purple and yellow star-patterned velvet, bracing itself up for the sun

』s and my glare.

「Attention. Time to take the photo!」 Comes a shout from the crowd behind. Obediently I turn around and squeeze into a pool of standers for one unified 「Cheese!」 And then a real tour of tulips begins.

Along a tree-lined road there are red, yellow, pink, orange, magenta, crimson, cream, snowy white, pearly silver, dark purple, light gold, and rosy claret – the only colors I know by their names. They, together with a wide array of color

combinations – magenta-yellow, red-white, purple-silver, pink-gold, to name a few, creates a world of colors. Tottering on the brick-wide path laid amidst the

flowers, I am turned into a clumsy butterfly in a search for the perfect patch

of tulips. This lot is charming, I yell to my mom and the companions. No, wait

, I think this one is even better…, I decide hesitantly. In the end I, dazzled

by an overwhelming effort of tulips to show off their tints and hues, haul down

my wings and come to a conclusion that it』s real hard to find one group superior to any other, for every color, every pattern they exhibit is a creation of Nature – created long before preference and prejudice were ever known to mankind.

To share something good with your friends doubles your happiness. I find this saying quite weak when I see one of my wheelchair-bound friends shooting flowers

with a DV. He is a handsome man in his late thirties. Ten years ago he broke his neck in a terrible work accident and has been left paralyzed since.

「Wow, I wish I could have a camera like this.」 I walk over and ask, 「Is this

a disc-type?」

「Yep, 40GB.」 He replies with a smile.

His smile makes my happiness grow by at least five times.

「You』d like to take a picture of yourself?」 Mother good-naturedly asks one of the teammates with severe polio. To my surprise, he replies with an enthusiastic nod. His next move makes me gasp. In a struggle he stands up with one crooked leg and pushes his wheelchair away. One hand in the pocket and the other hand holding a bottle of water, he croaks, 「I』m ready.」

It was nearly 3 o』clock that we finally reached the other end of the road, where all the members had a nice meal of fish. By 4:30, we hopped on the bus ready

to go back home.

Every one was tired and sleepy on the return trip – except me. In silence I stared at the running landscape through the window. Everything returned to the 「

normal」 color – unattractive green and gray. A strange thought flashed through my mind. Could all those tulips be seen as 「strange」, 「abnormal」, or 「disabled?」 They could, in fact, as long as they kept their natural differences.

Would they ever feel ashamed of their unique appearances had they been given a

thinking mind?

「This is all your fault! I should have been much taller and would not have had

all this misery!」 Suddenly, this exchange of a parent-daughter conversation rang in my ears, as I looked over to the midget young lady, who had her MP3 player plugged into her ears and apparently enjoyed music she loved.

「No, Tulip,」 I would say to any tulip who felt sad about being abnormal, 「You

are just being attractively different, not disabled. For every Thumbelina, there is one special tulip to sleep in. It』s nothing wrong to be special, but it』

d be all wrong to be perfectly normal.」

Ⅳ 英語文章賞析

目睹戰爭
過去浮現在抄我襲眼前的就像是一場夢。我們再一次攪進為了民族存亡的巨大的斗爭中。當他們應征進入這支偉大的自由之伍時我們在他們身邊。我們看見他們和他們愛的人離別。這些人當中會有人是最後一次，和他們愛慕的少女，行走在這片安靜的、蔥郁的土地上。其他的則是正在接受祝福的年齡大一點的人。有些人在和母親惜別，母親們抓著他們的手再三地按在他們的心頭，默然無語。有些人則和妻子話別，試著以平常的語氣說些豪言壯語的話，來驅散她們心中對戰爭可怕的恐懼。我們看著他們離別。我們看著妻子們在陽光下嗚咽。在道路的轉彎處，妻子們揮揮手——高高抓著孩子們的手作為回應。他去了，永遠的去了。

_________________________我翻譯，故我賞析^_^

Ⅵ 英語作文賞析，急。

這篇文好方面應該是思路清晰,觀點全面深刻.

全文用了whenever 引導的狀語從句，if 虛擬語氣從句（但是用的是一般時態 ）， disposable chopsticks 指的是一次性筷子，翻譯得很到位，出彩句：I believe that doing all these small things will improve our environment and help our world a better place to live in.其中用了多個從句和不定式
不足的:
有部分語法和邏輯錯誤:
I should try to use both sides of a piece of paper .paper在這里是不可數名詞，表統稱；a piece of paper 才是表達紙張的意思
I will not use( something )like paper cups and disposable chopsticks beacuse they're made of wood.
For me,I can try to save electricity in my daily life.前面的everyone是can 後面的I 最好保持一致
For example,if i am the last person to leave the classroom,I will always remember to turn off the lights不一定是晚上才開燈

PS.在中國式作文是很不錯的一篇文了 ，但是以外教的眼光來看就顯得有點「中式」英語.也許是被外教退文退得多了，挑了很多毛病而不是好的方面來說 還請見諒哈~

Ⅶ 英語美文欣賞

Youth

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to st.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being』s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what』s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you』ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there』s hope you may die young at 80.

青春
青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想像，炙熱的戀情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒苟安。如此銳氣，二十後生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，並非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。
歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。
無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。
一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。

If I Rest, I Rust

The significant inscription found on an old key---「If I rest, I rust」---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Even the most instrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.

Instry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.

Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal instry the price of noble and enring success.

如果我休息，我就會生銹
在一把舊鑰匙上發現了一則意義深遠的銘文——如果我休息，我就會生銹。對於那些懶散而煩惱的人來說，這將是至理名言。甚至最為勤勉的人也以此作為警示：如果一個人有才能而不用，就像廢棄鑰匙上的鐵一樣，這些才能就會很快生銹，並最終無法完成安排給自己的工作。
有些人想取得偉人所獲得並保持的成就，他們就必須不斷運用自身才能，以便開啟知識的大門，即那些通往人類努力探求的各個領域的大門，這些領域包括各種職業：科學，藝術，文學，農業等。)
勤奮使開啟成功寶庫的鑰匙保持光亮。如果休•米勒在採石場勞作一天後，晚上的時光用來休息消遣的話，他就不會成為名垂青史的地質學家。著名數學家愛德蒙•斯通如果閑暇時無所事事，就不會出版數學詞典，也不會發現開啟數學之門的鑰匙。如果蘇格蘭青年弗格森在山坡上放羊時，讓他那思維活躍的大腦處於休息狀態，而不是藉助一串珠子計算星星的位置，他就不會成為著名的天文學家。
勞動征服一切。這里所指的勞動不是斷斷續續的，間歇性的或方向偏差的勞動，而是堅定的，不懈的，方向正確的每日勞動。正如要想擁有自由就要時刻保持警惕一樣，要想取得偉大的，持久的成功，就必須堅持不懈地努力。

Ambition

It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: with out 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 unrelieved 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 the 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 be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, 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。

born to win上面的文章寫得都很好的。
