關於青春的經典英語美文
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may dieyoung at 80.
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 tempera-mental 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 spring back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of 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, cheer, courage and
power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may dieyoung at 80.

父親和煤礦美文
父親是煤礦工人,我也就理所當然是煤礦工人的兒子。父親在上世紀60年代末來到這座煤城,到世紀之交病故,在煤礦整整工作了30年。1983年我從老家來到父親所在的煤礦求學,當時我14歲。屈指算來,我在煤礦生活工作也近20年了。不由得怵然一驚:父親迫於生計,由農民而成爲煤礦...

美文欣賞七夕有雨輕輕飄過
又下雨了,方宇,輕輕的細雨斜斜地隨風飄過,盈盈地落在地面上,像散開了的美麗花束,燦爛了芬芳的靈魂;又像一個個靈動的精靈,跳躍着,飄動着,滾落着,撒滾着,然而,終究還是會散落在大地上,成一溪流淌,成一水灣靜止靜止,就如你的生命,任我怎麼樣,你都離我遠去,遠去方宇,你看,你看,這雨是那...

驚魂一夢美文
料峭春寒,是夜已近凌晨。我抖抖索索、東倒西歪地終於捱到了家。在家門口,我習慣性地對自己的掌心呵了口氣,再深深聞了聞,自覺得酒味並不濃重,於是放心地開門躡手躡腳走了進去。不敢開燈,摸着黑到臥室,憑藉着紗窗外透進來一絲微弱的光,看見正在酣睡的妻子一個美妙翻身,牀...
