高一英语背诵经典素材 1. Youth（青春） English: Whether sixty or sixteen, 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 twenty. But as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty. 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 sixty more than a boy of twenty. 中文： 无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。一旦天线倒塌，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要竖起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。青春意味着勇气压倒怯懦，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。 出处：Samuel Ullman - Youth 2. Three Days to See（假如给我三天光明） English: 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. Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I asked a friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods what she had observed. “Nothing in particular,” she replied. How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the beauty of a leaf, the smooth skin of a branch, the rough bark of a tree. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. 中文： 我常常想，如果每个人在成年早期都能经历几天失明与失聪，那将是一种幸事。黑暗会让他更珍惜光明，寂静会让他懂得声音的快乐。我时常试探我那些视力正常的朋友，问他们看到了什么。最近我问一位刚从林中散步回来的朋友，她看到了什么。“没什么特别的。”她回答。我不禁自问：在林中走一个小时，怎么可能看不到任何值得留意的东西？我这个看不见的人，仅凭触摸就能发现数百种让我感兴趣的事物。我感受叶片的柔美、枝条的光滑、树皮的粗糙。如果仅凭触摸就能获得如此多的快乐，视觉所能展现的美该有多么丰富。 出处：Helen Keller - Three Days to See 3. Of Studies（论读书） English: Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business. Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. Spend your time wisely on books that can improve your mind and shape your character. The knowledge you gain now will light your way in the future and help you understand the world better. 中文： 读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时；其博彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中；其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。读书使人充实，讨论使人机智，笔记使人准确。读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀，数学使人周密，科学使人深刻，伦理学使人庄重，逻辑修辞之学使人善辩。书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则须咀嚼消化。明智地利用时间去读那些能提升思想、塑造品格的书。你现在学到的知识，将来会照亮前路，帮你更好地理解世界。 出处：Francis Bacon - Of Studies 4. Courage（勇气） English: Do not, for one repulse, give up the purpose that you resolved to achieve. Many people fail in life not because they lack ability or talent, but because they do not have the courage to continue. Life is full of challenges and difficulties, but every difficulty is a chance to grow stronger. When you meet failure, do not lose heart. Instead, learn from it and keep moving forward. Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that really counts. The most beautiful things in life often come after hard times. If you believe in yourself and hold on to your dreams, you will finally get what you deserve. Every small step you take today builds a better tomorrow. 中文： 不要只因一次挫败，就放弃你原来决心想要达到的目标。很多人人生失败，并非因为缺乏能力或天赋，而是因为没有坚持下去的勇气。生活充满挑战与困难，但每一次困难都是让你变得更强的机会。遭遇失败时，不要灰心，而要从中学习，继续前行。成功并非终点，失败也不足以致命，真正重要的是继续前行的勇气。生活中最美好的事物，往往在艰难之后出现。如果你相信自己、坚守梦想，终将得到应得的回报。你今天迈出的每一小步，都在构筑更美好的明天。 出处：Adapted from Shakespeare and classic motivational essays 5. The Value of Time（珍惜时间） English: Time is the most valuable thing in the world. No one can see it, no one can touch it, but everyone can feel it passing by. Lost wealth can be regained, lost health can be recovered, but lost time can never be back. As high school students, we are at the best time of life. Every minute we spend wisely will help us in the future. Do not waste time on meaningless things. Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Make good plans, stick to them, and make every day meaningful. Remember that the future is made up of every present moment. If you control your time well, you control your life. 中文： 时间是世上最珍贵的东西。看不见，摸不着，却人人都能感受它悄然流逝。失去的财富可以再赚，失去的健康可以恢复，但逝去的时光永远无法重来。作为高中生，我们正处在人生最好的阶段。每一分明智利用的时间，都会在未来帮助我们。不要把时间浪费在无意义的事上，不要把今天能做的事拖到明天。做好计划，坚持执行，让每一天都充实有意义。记住：未来由每一个当下组成。掌控好时间，你就掌控了自己的人生。 出处：Classic essays on time management 6. Books — Our Teachers and Friends（书籍——良师益友） English: Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors; and the most patient of teachers. When we are happy, books share our joy; when we are sad, they comfort us. When we feel confused, they guide us. Good books are like wise friends that walk with us through life. They open our eyes to the world, teach us right from wrong, and help us become better people. Reading good books can improve our language, enrich our knowledge, and shape our thoughts. The more we read, the more we know, and the farther we will go in life. So make reading a good habit and keep it all your life. 中文： 书籍是最安静、最永恒的朋友，是最易接近、最智慧的顾问，也是最有耐心的老师。我们快乐时，书籍分享喜悦；悲伤时，它们给予慰藉；迷茫时，它们指引方向。好书如同良友，陪伴我们走过一生。它们开阔眼界，明辨是非，帮助我们成为更好的人。读好书能提升语言、丰富知识、塑造思想。读得越多，懂得越多，人生就能走得越远。所以养成阅读的好习惯，并终身坚持。 出处：Adapted from classic reading essays 7. Dreams（梦想） English: The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Dreams give us direction and hope. Without dreams, life is like a ship without a rudder, floating aimlessly on the sea. Everyone should have a dream, no matter how big or small. A dream is not something that you see in your sleep; it is something that does not let you sleep. To realize your dream, you need hard work, strong will, and never giving up. There will be difficulties on the road, but every step forward brings you closer to your goal. Hold fast to your dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. 中文： 未来属于那些相信自己梦想之美的人。梦想给我们方向与希望。没有梦想的人生，就像没有舵的船，在海上漫无目的地漂流。每个人都该有梦想，无论大小。梦想不是你在睡梦中见到的东西，而是让你无法安眠的追求。要实现梦想，需要勤奋、坚强的意志和永不放弃的精神。路上会有困难，但每前进一步，你就离目标更近一点。紧紧抓住梦想，因为梦想若是消亡，生命就像鸟儿折了翅膀，再也不能飞翔。 出处：Adapted from poems and speeches 8. Optimism（乐观） English: Life is not always smooth. There are sunny days and rainy days, successes and failures, joys and sorrows. The way we face life decides how happy we are. Optimism is the key to a better life. An optimistic person sees chances in difficulties, while a pessimistic person sees difficulties in chances. When you meet problems, do not complain. Instead, try to find solutions. Believe that every cloud has a silver lining. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. If you keep a positive heart, you will find beauty and hope everywhere in life. This attitude will not only make you happy but also influence the people around you. 中文： 生活并非总是一帆风顺，有晴天也有雨天，有成功也有失败，有欢乐也有悲伤。我们面对生活的态度，决定了我们有多幸福。乐观是美好生活的关键。乐观者在困境中看到机会，悲观者在机会中看到困境。遇到问题时，不要抱怨，而要努力寻找解决办法。相信黑暗中总有一线光明，即使最漫长的黑夜也会结束，太阳终将升起。保持积极的心态，你会在生活中处处发现美与希望。这种态度不仅会让自己快乐，也会感染身边的人。 出处：Classic inspirational essays 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
