　　精美英語(yǔ)散文篇一

　　A box full ofkisses

　　裝滿吻的盒子

　　The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy.”

　　有這樣一個(gè)故事，爸爸因?yàn)槿龤q的女兒浪費(fèi)了一卷金色的包裝紙而懲罰了她。家里很缺錢，當(dāng)孩子想要用包裝紙裝飾一個(gè)掛在圣誕樹(shù)上的盒子時(shí)，爸爸生氣了。然而，第二天早上小女孩把盒子作為禮物送給了爸爸，“這是給你的，爸爸�！�

　　The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."

　　女兒的`這個(gè)行為讓爸爸感到尷尬。但是當(dāng)他發(fā)現(xiàn)盒子是空的時(shí)候，他的怒火再一次燃燒了。他對(duì)女兒喊道，“難道你不知道給別人禮物的時(shí)候，里面應(yīng)該放有東西嗎?”多女孩抬頭看著父親，眼里含著淚水，“爸爸，盒子不是空的。我把吻放在了盒子里，都是給你的，爸爸�！�

　　The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

　　爸爸感動(dòng)極了，他摟住女兒，懇請(qǐng)她的原諒。之后不久，一場(chǎng)事故奪走了小女孩的生命。據(jù)說(shuō)，父親便將那個(gè)小金盒子放在床頭，一直陪伴著他的余生。無(wú)論何時(shí)他感到氣餒或者遇到難辦的事情，他就會(huì)打開(kāi)禮盒，取出一個(gè)假想的吻，記起漂亮女兒給予了自己特殊的愛(ài)。

　　In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.

　　從一個(gè)非常真實(shí)的意義上說(shuō)，我們每個(gè)人都被贈(zèng)與過(guò)一個(gè)無(wú)形的金色禮盒，那里面裝滿了來(lái)自子女，家人，朋友及上帝無(wú)條件的愛(ài)與吻。人們所能擁有的最珍貴的禮物莫過(guò)于此了。

　　Three Days to See(Excerpts)假如給我三天光明(節(jié)選)

　　Three Days to See

　　All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.

　　Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets?

　　Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry”. But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.

　　In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.

　　Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.

　　The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.

　　I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.

　　我們都讀過(guò)震撼人心的故事，故事中的主人公只能再活一段很有限的時(shí)光，有時(shí)長(zhǎng)達(dá)一年，有時(shí)卻短至一日。但我們總是想要知道，注定要離世人的會(huì)選擇如何度過(guò)自己最后的時(shí)光。當(dāng)然，我說(shuō)的是那些有選擇權(quán)利的自由人，而不是那些活動(dòng)范圍受到嚴(yán)格限定的死囚。

　　這樣的故事讓我們思考，在類似的處境下，我們?cè)撟鲂┦裁?作為終有一死的人，在臨終前的幾個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)我們應(yīng)該做什么事，經(jīng)歷些什么或做哪些聯(lián)想?回憶往昔，什么使我們開(kāi)心快樂(lè)?什么又使我們悔恨不已?

　　有時(shí)我想，把每天都當(dāng)作生命中的最后一天來(lái)邊，也不失為一個(gè)極好的生活法則。這種態(tài)度會(huì)使人格外重視生命的價(jià)值。我們每天都應(yīng)該以優(yōu)雅的'姿態(tài)，充沛的精力，抱著感恩之心來(lái)生活。但當(dāng)時(shí)間以無(wú)休止的日，月和年在我們面前流逝時(shí)，我們卻常常沒(méi)有了這種子感覺(jué)。當(dāng)然，也有人奉行“吃，喝，享受”的享樂(lè)主義信條，但絕大多數(shù)人還是會(huì)受到即將到來(lái)的死亡的懲罰。

　　在故事中，將死的主人公通常都在最后一刻因突降的幸運(yùn)而獲救，但他的價(jià)值觀通常都會(huì)改變，他變得更加理解生命的意義及其永恒的精神價(jià)值。我們常常注意到，那些生活在或曾經(jīng)生活在死亡陰影下的人無(wú)論做什么都會(huì)感到幸福。

　　然而，我們中的大多數(shù)人都把生命看成是理所當(dāng)然的。我們知道有一天我們必將面對(duì)死亡，但總認(rèn)為那一天還在遙遠(yuǎn)的將來(lái)。當(dāng)我們身強(qiáng)體健之時(shí)，死亡簡(jiǎn)直不可想象，我們很少考慮到它。日子多得好像沒(méi)有盡頭。因此我們一味忙于瑣事，幾乎意識(shí)不到我們對(duì)待生活的冷漠態(tài)度。

　　我擔(dān)心同樣的冷漠也存在于我們對(duì)自己官能和意識(shí)的運(yùn)用上。只有聾子才理解聽(tīng)力的重要，只有盲人才明白視覺(jué)的可貴，這尤其適用于那些成年后才失去視力或聽(tīng)力之苦的人很少充分利用這些寶貴的能力。他們的眼睛和耳朵模糊地感受著周圍的景物與聲音，心不在焉，也無(wú)所感激。這正好我們只有在失去后才懂得珍惜一樣，我們只有在生病后才意識(shí)到健康的可貴。

　　我經(jīng)常想，如果每個(gè)人在年輕的時(shí)候都有幾天失時(shí)失聰，也不失為一件幸事。黑暗將使他更加感激光明，寂靜將告訴他聲音的美妙。
