【英语故事】一个美丽真实的爱情故事

A beautiful true love story

One day, a young guy and a young girl fell in love. But the guy came from a poor family. The girl’s parents weren’t too happy. So the young man decided not only to court the girl but to court her parents as well. In time, the parents saw that he

was a good man and was worthy of their daughter’s hand.

有一天，一个年轻小伙子和一位年轻姑娘坠入爱河。但小伙子出身贫寒。姑娘的父母不太乐

意。所以年轻小伙决定不仅向女孩求爱，也向她父母请求。随着时间推移，姑娘的父母发现这个

小伙子很不错，是值得女儿托付的人。

But there was another problem: The man was a soldier. Soon, war broke out and he

was being sent overseas for a year. The week before he left, the man knelt on his

knee and asked his lady love, “Will you marry me?” She wiped a tear, said yes,

and they were engaged. They agreed that when he got back in one year, they would

get married.

可是有一个问题：这个小伙子个士兵。不久战争爆发了，他被派往海外一年。在他离开的前

一礼拜，他跪到姑娘的面前向她恳求，“你愿意嫁给我吗?？姑娘擦了擦眼泪说愿，于是他们了

订婚了，说好等他一年后回来后就结婚。

But tragedy struck. A few days after he left, the girl had a major vehicular

accident. It was a head-on collision. When she woke up in the hospital, she saw her

father and mother crying. Immediately, she knew that he must had been badly injured.

但是悲剧发生了。就在他离开在几天后，姑娘遇上车辆迎头相撞的重大车祸。当她醒来的时

候她躺在了医院，看到父母亲在哭泣，她意立刻识到自己伤得不轻。

She later found out that she suffered brain injury. The part of her brain that controlled her face muscles was damaged. Her once lovely face was now disfigured. She cried as she saw herself in the mirror. “Yesterday, I was beautiful. Today,

I’m a monster.” Her body was also covered with so many ugly wounds. Right there and then, she decided to release her fiancé from their prom ise. She knew he wouldn’t want her anymore. She would forget about him and never see him again.

后来，她发现她自己是脑损伤。控制她的脸部肌肉的那部分大脑受损，她那张人见人爱的脸

现在毁了。在镜子里看到自己样子，她不禁痛哭起来。“昨天我是美丽的。今天却成了丑八怪”。

她浑身都是可怕的伤口。此时此刻，她决定背离他俩许下的承诺，离开她的未婚夫。她心想他是

不会要她了，她要忘了他，再也不见他。

For one year, the soldier wrote many letters —but she wouldn’t answer. He phoned her many times but she wouldn’t return her calls.

一年之中，这位士兵小伙子给她写了许多信，她就是不回复。他给她打许多次电话，她也不回电话。

But after one year, the mother walked into her room and announced, “He’s back from the war.”The girl shouted, “No! Please don’t tell him about me. Don’t tell

him I’m here!”

一年后，母亲走进她的房间告诉她说，“他已从战场上回来了”。姑娘大声说道。“不! 不

要把我的情况告诉他，别告诉他我在这里。”

The mother said, “He’s getting married,” and handed her a wedding invitation.

T he girl’s heart sank. She knew she still loved him — but she had to forget him

now. With great sadness, she opened the wedding invitation. And then she saw her name on it!

母亲又对她说，“他要结婚了”，说着递给她一个婚礼请帖。姑娘的心碎了，她知道自己还

爱着他，可是现在她必须忘了他。怀着较大悲伤，她打开了婚礼请帖，赫然看到请帖上写着她的名字!

Confused, she asked, “What is this?”“怎么回事？”她困惑不已。

That was when the young man entered her room with a bouquet of flowers. He knelt

beside her and asked, “Will you marry me?”

就在这时候，这位年轻小伙子拿一束鲜花走进了她的房间。他跪在她身旁问道：“你愿意嫁

给我吗?”

The girl covered her face with her hands and said, “I’m ugly!”

姑娘用手掌捂着脸说，“我丑!”

The man said, “Without your permission, your mother sent me your photos. When

I saw your photos, I realized that nothing has changed. You’re still the person I

fell in d eep love. You’re still as beautiful as ever. Because I love you!”

小伙子答道，“没有问你的允许，你妈妈把你的照片寄给了我。我看到你的照片，我想没有

什么可改变的，你仍然是我深爱的人。你还是像以前一样美丽，因为我爱你!”

英语美文(带翻译)

Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity 在困境中寻找成功的希望 1．There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I cannot perfect myself without hardship. 2．Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do, gathers so richly about my soul as when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will always inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment might present… to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into a fragrant garden of flowers. 3．Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity. 1．逆境是一所最好的学校每一次打击、每一次损失。都蕴含着成功的萌芽。都教会我在下一次有更出色的表现。我再也不会逃避现实，也不会拒绝从以往的错误中获取经验，我不再因此促成自己的失败。因为我我知道，宝玉不经磨砺就不能发光，没有磨练，我也不完善自我。 2．现在我知道，灵魂倍受煎熬的时刻，也正是生命中最多选择与机会的时刻。任何事情的成败取决于我在寻求帮助时是抬起头还是低下头。无论何时，当我被可怕的失败击倒，在最初的阵痛过去之后，我都要想方设法将苦难变成好事。伟大的机遇就在这一刻闪现——这苦涩的根本必将迎来满园芬芳！ 3．我将一直在困境中寻找成功希望。 Hold Fast to Dreams 紧紧抓住梦想 1．We all have dreams. We all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special way, and that we can make the world a better place. 2．At one time in our lives, we all had a vision for the quality of life that we desire and deserve. Yet, for many of us, those dreams have become so shrouded in the frustrations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make an effort to accomplish them. For far too many, the dream has dissipated and with it, so has the will to shape our destinies. Many have lost that sense of certainty that creates the winner’s edge.

Look them over the wise and the great. They take their food from a common plate. With similar knives and forks they use; with similar laces they tie their shoes. The world considers them brave and smart, but you know--- you have got all they had when they made their start. You can triumph and come to skill; you can be great if you only will. You are well equipped for the fight you choose you have arms and legs and brains to use. And people who have risen, great deeds to do started their lives with no more than you. You are the handicap you must face. You are the one who must choose your place. You must say where you want to go, and how much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but he lets you decide what you want to be.

英文励志短文模板10篇 英文励志短文（一） Pie in the Sky There is actually a pie in the sky。It was made especially for you。It is your favorite flavor。You can eat as much of it as you want。It is all yours and you don’t have to share it with anyone。 Now，all you have to do to get your pie is build a set of stairs，climb up your stairs，and reach out your hand to take it。 First，you must figure out what the design of your stairs will be。If you don’t know，find a person who has managed to build a set of stairs to reach his pie，and find out what needs to be done。 Next，you will need to prepare for your stairs。You need to buy the wood and the tools。You might need to replace some broken tools。 Finally，and this is the hardest step，you need to focus your mind on your work。The actual work requires constructing the stairs。You may find that you’ve worked really hard for days，weeks or even months，and then suddenly find that your stairs are not going to line up with your pie。So you need to make sure that you still have money to buy new materials and rebuild your stairs in the right direction。 With proper planning and careful pacing，you will be able to reach your pie。Your pie is right there，right above you。All you need to do is get it。

中国当代十大经典爱情故事真实系列二：四十年一诺的爱情订单

中国当代十大经典爱情故事真实系列二：四十年一诺的爱情 订单 简介：中国当代十大经典爱情故事是2006年由中国妇女报社和岳阳市人民政府联合举办的一次大型文化活动。因为“爱情天梯”人物的去世而被网友重新阅读。参选的故事必须是目前健在人物的真人真事。 中国当代十大经典爱情故事二：四十年一诺的爱情订单这是一对世纪老人的极富传奇色彩的爱情故事！这是一曲震响在洞庭湖畔的爱情颂歌！这是一件发生在现实生活中的真事！ “君不行兮夷犹，蹇谁留兮中洲，美要眇兮宜修……”吟咏着屈原《湘君》、《湘夫人》的美妙诗句，我们似乎又看到了一个新世纪的真实的牛郎织女和湘妃的爱情神话。 一、1945年――1947年：由倾心热恋到庄重订婚 这个故事中的女主人公名叫余琦，1922年春出生在湖南常德市城区的一个世代书香之家，她的父亲曾经出国留学，回国之后一直从事教育工作，亲堂兄余嘉锡是辅仁大学（北京师范大学前身）国文系主任、民国时期社科院院士，当代著名作家丁玲是她的亲姑妈的女儿，丁玲在离开常德前与她有不少交往。余琦长得十分漂亮，就读于常德市女中时，是学校的“校花”，因家学渊源等原因，她从小雅爱诗词，字

也写得非常秀气。余琦高中毕业后，在城区小学任教。大约受其表姐丁玲以及新思潮的影响，她一直未谈婚论嫁，1945年，23岁的她到常德县中师范班进修深造，遇到了英俊潇洒的县中教师刘自平，于是，二人便开始了长达六十多年的爱情故事的演绎。 男主人公刘自平，1914年冬出生在湖南桃源县的一个殷实人家，1938年在北京大学政治系学习毕业后，满怀抗战的激情，先后在南京国民政府政治部农本局等单位工作，辗转于长沙、芷江、重庆等地，主要为抗战作一些募捐贷款的事情。他温文儒雅，一表人材，在爱情婚姻方面，不乏姑娘追求，朋友牵线，但他却说：“匈奴未灭，何以家为！”1944年，刘自平因病辞职回乡，待得病情稍愈，县立中学便热情聘请他去执教。当他在县中课堂上一见到余琦，便被她那高雅的气质吸引住了。“我第一眼看到她美丽的容貌，就觉得自己踩在了一个土坑里，有了一种失重的感觉！”——刘自平老人后来回忆说。而余琦女士聆听着他的讲课，也被他的英俊潇洒和不凡的谈吐吸引住了，“他的眼睛有磁性！”——余琦老人后来也回忆说。 从1945年到1947年，刘自平先后辗转于几所中学教书，热恋中的余琦也就跟着他在学校做女生辅导和保育员等工作，1947年春节，在双方家长的支持下，两位年轻人按照传统习俗，举行了隆重的订婚仪式。订婚照中，刘自平戴着金

Friends or 'Enemies?' When I was younger, my Dad used to tell me: "Boys don't want to be your friend." He then left the rest to my imagination. At the time, I didn't agree. I thought: I can crack a good joke, I know how to shoot a hoop, and I'm a cheerful person (but not in an annoying way). What kind of boy wouldn't want to be around that kind of girl? Turns out, my Dad was right. Not to be all "Samantha Brick" about it, but in my experience, single, heterosexual men aren't actively looking for an exclusively platonic relationship with a woman they find sexually attractive. This of course is not a revolutionary concept. In fact, it seems pretty natural to me. Now, I will be the first to say that it is really and truly the most wonderful thing in the world if the attraction is mutual. But the Powers That Be seem to like to play these complicated little mating games with humans where the guy we want to re-enact scenes from 9? Weeks with sees our attractiveness level as akin to that of a discarded dishcloth, and the most physical we could see ourselves being with the guy who actually likes us is a game of ping pong over an especially long table. All of which means that someone usually ends up getting rejected. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have struggled with the scenario where I am not interested in a man romantically, but I want to keep him as a friend because he is funny and I enjoy his company, or he has shown himself to be that rare specimen known as "a nice, genuine person, " or he simply doesn't mention his therapist in every other sentence. Rather than string him along and give him hope, I feel compelled to somehow communicate to him sooner rather than later that we'll just be staying friends, nothing more. Otherwise, I think I am being unfair to him. Why should he waste his romantic stamina on me when there are loads of other single women out there who might fall instantly in love with him? The thing is, it can sometimes be tricky to reject a man and keep him as a friend. If the operation is not executed carefully, you may end up creating a "menemy." It requires a certain amount of skill to be able to turn down a man's sexual advances or romantic gestures and then get him to agree to meet you for blueberry pancakes the following weekend and chat about the latest Woody Allen film. Some men aren't satisfied with just that. I'm not clear why. What's so bad about friendship? Everyone needs buddies. But I've seen men react poorly or simply fall off the face of the earth. I get it -- their feelings are hurt. None of us likes getting rejected. But in my experience, some men find it especially soul-crushing. I am only bringing all of this up because I recently had to go through this scenario again. I had spent some time cultivating a friendship with a man who, in my defense, I thought was gay. So I didn't see the harm in him buying me the occasional falafel, or accepting an invitation to see a film with him. Isn't that what friends are for? But a mutual friend shed light on his sexual orientation (straight) and suggested that his intentions -- and attentions -- weren't platonic. He had never "made the moves" but now it was all crystal clear -- that explains the way he had looked at me that time the tahini sauce dribbled down my chin! Since he had clearly been too timid to express his feelings, I thought I would be clever this time and subtly mention the dates I had been going on, focusing on the one guy I was kind of keen on, so that he would know that I was "unavailable" for heavy petting and those sorts of activities, but that I was available for things like roller skating, falafel-eating and shooting the breeze. Doesn't that sound nice? That way, he would known not to try to lean in for a kiss, and I wouldn't have to pull the Stevie Wonder dance and dodge him went he went for it. It was like pre-rejection, yet I was sparing his feelings because he didn't even have to put himself out there! I really thought I was being brilliant. It backfired, of course. Said man ended up sending me an email rant accusing me of being insensitive by talking about other men when he had "feelings for me." As if I am psychic, by the way, just because I am a woman! How was I supposed to know that? I think in his mind we were dating. In my mind, he was my new gay BFF. In the end, I got mad at him for getting mad at me, and now the friendship has ended. And I have created yet another "menemy." Look, I have also tried the direct thing: "I really like you, but only as a friend, " but you can only do that when the guy has made his intentions clear, and in my experience, they either cope okay (though rarely do I feel much enthusiasm for friendship after that), or they really don't cope well. I also tried the thing where you make them think they are rejecting you, but it gets quite confusing and only works if the guy isn't very sharp, and why would I -- or you -- be hanging out with someone not that sharp in the first place? As we all remember, Billy Crystal's character says men and women can't be friends in When Harry Met Sally because the sex stuff gets in the way. I do have single, male, heterosexual friends with whom I have an easy, non-romantic rapport, but I honestly don't know if they would walk away if I was sprawled naked on a bed calling out to them. I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but sometimes, I wonder if they wonder. And they may wonder if I wonder. If so, I hope they'll keep it to

And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand new sun. But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snicker will turn into a burst of laughter. 我按平时的规律吃晚餐、打扫屋子、写作——做着日常事务。然后我躺下，希望能快点入睡，新的一天就能快点到来——拥有新生太阳的崭新的一天。可当我躺在那儿，等待着世界的日夜回转时，我想到了她。有时我会笑起来，有时那微笑变成了窃笑，然后窃笑又常常变成爆笑。 And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep me company until my new day arrives. 也有些时候，我的喉咙像是被一块东西哽住了，胸口发闷;有时那种伤感席卷 而来，我开始流泪，眼泪常常越流越多，我再也无力抵抗悲伤，败下阵来。然后不知怎的，我在或喜悦或悲伤中飘荡，逐渐入眠。然后梦境开始伴我左右，直至新的一天到来。 When I awake it’s with such excitement because I tell m yself this could be the day that every other day has led up to and the first day of the rest of my life. I quickly don my smile because I do so want her to see me at my very best. Then I look out the window because, even though I know it’s dawn, I still have to confirm I’ve been given another chance to find her.

Chapter One Human Life Like a Poem 人生如诗 I think that, from a biological standpoint, human life almost reads like a poem.我以为，从生物学角度看，人的一生恰如诗歌。 It has its own rhythm and beat, its internal cycles of growth and decay. 人生自有其韵律和节奏，自有内在的生成与衰亡。 No one can say that a life with childhood, manhood and old age is not a beautiful arrangement; 人生有童年、少年和老年，谁也不能否认这是一种美好的安排， the day has its morning, noon and sunset, and the year has its seasons, and it is good 一天要有清晨、正午和日落，一年要有四季之分，如此才好。 that it is so. There is no good or bad in life, except what is good according to its own season. 人生本无好坏之分，只是各个季节有各自的好处。 And if we take this biological view of life and try to live according to the seasons, no one but a conceited fool or an impossible idealist can deny that human life can be lived like a poem. 如若我们持此种生物学的观点，并循着季节去生活，除了狂妄自大的傻瓜和无可救药的理想主义者，谁能说人生不能像诗一般度过呢。 ——Lin Yutang 1.We Are on a Journey人在旅途 By Henry Van Dyke Wherever you are, and whoever you maybe, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest; we are on a journey, our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. We are gaining something, or losing something, everyday. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mere advance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July, the season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man. 无论你在何处，无论你是何人，此刻，而且在我们生命的每时每刻，你与我有一点是类似的。我们不是在休息，我们在旅途中。生命是一种运动，一种趋势，一个稳步、持续的通往一个未知目标的过程。每天，我们都在获得，或失去。尽管我们的地位和性格看起来好像一点都没变，但是它们在变化。因为时光的流逝本身是一种变化。在一月和七月拥有一片贫瘠的土地是不同的，是季节本身带来了变化。孩童时可爱的缺点到了成人时便成了幼稚。

短文1. Luck and Hard Work运气和努力 Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe that everyone here wants to be successful in life. But how can we succeed? Nowadays,it is generally believed among young people that success comes from luck. They believe it in love, in examinations and even in promotion. But in fact, success depends on knowledge and hard work. You can get whatever you dream of if you work hard enough. Even if you may fail sometimes, you are bound to succeed someday if you stick to your goals. Remember your fate lies in your own hands. Your future also lies in your own hands. As long as you put your heart into your work, you will realize all your dreams.It’s diligence, not good luck that can bring you success in your life and career. Luck doesn't come alone. It goes hand in hand with knowledge and hard work. Shallow men(肤浅的人) believe in luck. Hard work is the first secret of success. 短文2. Happiness Is Your Own Choice选择快乐你就快乐 Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier, a relative, someone we know a lot, or someone we hardly know. As a result, what we do remember is anything that makes the other happy and anything that makes ourselves unhappy, totally forgetting that there is something happy in our own life. So the best way to destroy happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest flaw. It is the smallest weakpoit that would make us complain. And it is the complaint that leads us to become unhappy. If one chooses to be happy, he will be blessed.Happiness is just what you think will make you happy. 短文3. How to live a productive life 如何过丰富的生活 Ladies and gentlemen, Today I’m going to talk about how to live a productive life. Every day is a gift, even days that are difficult or days you feel down. Appreciate every day. Learn something new every day. Do something to improve yourself every day. Don’t delay. Don’t let your dreams die. Don’t waste time. Just do it. Life is too short to waste even one single day. If you live every day fully and productive ly, you’re bound to succeed. Remember, yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a dream, live for today. Thank you for your listening! 短文4. Key Factors to Success成功的关键因素 No doubt, everyone wishes to be successful in life. But most success depends on three factors: diligence, devotion, and perseverance. The first key factor is diligence. Diligence can help us remove ignorance and overcome difficulties .It can make a fool wise ,and a poor man rich .If we are diligent now, we will surely be successful in the future. Devotion, which means the concentration of our mind and effort in doing things, is another key factor to success. Whatever job we are doing ,we must love it and do it heart and soul .Only when we set our minds on the job can we do it well. Furthermore, perseverance is also necessary for any success. If we study or work day after day, there is nothing that cannot be achieved. Without a strong will, on the other hand, we are likely

激情晨读英语美文50篇 双语第14篇Beauty of July

14. Beauty of July七月之美 By Alice Meynell One has the leisure of July for perceiving all the differences of the green of leaves. It is no longer a difference in degrees of maturity, for all the trees have darkened to their final tone, and stand in their differences of character and not of mere date. Almost all the green is grave, not sad and not dull. It has a darkened and a daily colour, in majestic but not obvious harmony with dark grey skies, and might look, to inconstant eyes, as prosaic after spring as eleven o'clock looks after the dawn. 七月间，人们有余暇观察树叶绿翠的千差万别。这不再是成熟上的差异，因为所有的树木，或转苍翠，或呈墨绿，色调均已固着定格，从而展现出来的，并非时节上的不同，而是各自品格上的差异。几乎各种绿色，品味凝重，既不流于悒郁，也不失之沉闷，它具有一种深沉、日常的色泽，与灰暗的苍穹浑然一体，构成庄重却非一眼可见的和谐，故而在游览扫掠的目光看来，可能会有阳春繁景过后的平淡之感。一如黎明之后十一点的光景。 Gravity is the word---not solemnity as towards evening, nor menace as at night. The daylight trees of July are signs of common beauty, common freshness, and a mystery familiar and abiding as night and day. In childhood we all have a more exalted sense of dawn and summer sunrise than we ever fully retain or quite recover; and also a far-higher sensibility for April and April evenings---a heartache for them, which in riper years is gradually and irretrievably consoled. 凝重，乃是最贴切的字眼——不是时近黄昏的阴沉，亦非黑夜之中的森然。七月白昼的葱郁树木，体现出普通的美，常见的清新，是一种如同黑夜白昼般惯常而又永恒不变的不解之谜。童年时代，我们看到黎明和夏天日出盛景，会油然生出一股日后无法充分保留、也难以完全恢复的奋激狂喜；同时，对四月和四月的日暮黄昏，还产生一种陶然忘情的欣赏共鸣——一种为之怦然心动的神驰向往，进入壮年之后，又无可挽回地逐渐淡化平息。 But, on the other hand, childhood has so quickly learned to find daily things tedious, and familiar things importunate, that it has no great delight in the mere middle of the day, and feels weariness of the summer that has ceased to change visibly. The poetry of mere day and of late summer becomes perceptible to mature eyes that have long ceased to be sated, have taken leave of weariness, and cannot now find anything in nature too familiar; eyes which have, indeed, lost sight of the further awe of midsummer daybreak, and no longer see so much of the past in April twilight as they saw when they had no past; but which look freshly at the dailiness of green summer, of early afternoon, of every sky of any form that comes to pass, and of the darkened elms. 只有阅历丰富的慧眼，才能感受到白昼本身的夏末时令固有的诗意——这双慧眼已久未获满足矣，同时也摆脱了厌倦感，此刻发现在自然界，即使最常见的景物也另有一番情趣；诚然，面对仲夏红日的喷薄欲出，已不再萌发敬畏之情；凝望四月的苍茫暮色，也不会比一无阅历的童年，引发更多的联想，然而，对司空见惯的日常景象——树木葱茏的盛夏，日过中天的午后，来而复去、变幻不定的每一片云天，还有幽暗的榆树——反倒会投以新的目光。
