英语散文名篇欣赏(一)
Love and Time 爱和时间
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
“Richness, can you take me with you?”
Richness answered, “No, I cant. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!”
“I cant help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.”
“Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who Helped me?”
“It was Time,” Knowledge answered.
“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.”
爱和时间
从前有一个岛,所有的情感都住在那里:幸福、悲伤、知识和所有其它的,爱也不例外。一天,所有的情感听说小岛即将沉没,因此建造小船,纷纷离开,除了爱。
爱是唯一留下来的,因为它希望能坚持到最后一刻。
小岛即将沉没了,爱决定请求帮助。
富有驾着一艘大船从爱身边经过,爱说,
“富有,你能带上我么?”
富有回答说:“不行,我的船上载满金银财宝,没有你的地方。”
虚荣坐在漂亮的小船中从爱身边驶过,爱问:“虚荣,你能帮助我么?”
虚荣说:“不行,你全身湿透,会弄脏我的船。”
悲伤的船靠近了,爱问:“悲伤,请带我走吧。”
“哦。。。爱,我太难过了,想一个人呆着。”
幸福经过爱的身边,它太开心了,根本没听见爱在呼唤。
突然,一个声音喊道:“来,爱,我带你走。” 声音来自“年老”。爱太高兴了,甚至忘了问他们即将去何方。当他们来到岸上,年老自己离开了。爱突然意识到“年老”给了它多大的帮助。
于是,爱问另一位老者--知识:“谁帮助了我?”
知识说:“是时间。”
“时间?”爱问:“但是时间为什么帮助我?”
知识睿智地微笑道:“因为只有时间了解爱的价值。”

A Little Piece of Me 生命的.过客
When he told me he was leaving I felt like a vase which has just smashed. There were pieces of me all over the tidy, tan tiles. He kept talking, telling me why he was leaving, explaining it was for the best, I could do better, it was his fault and not mine. I had heard it before many times and yet somehow was still not immune; perhaps one did not become immune to such felony.
He left and I tried to get on with my life. I filled the kettle and put it on to boil, I took out my old red mug and filled it with coffee watching as each coffee granule slipped in to the bone china. That was what my life had been like, endless omissions of coffee granules, somehow never managing to make that cup of coffee.
Somehow when the kettle piped its finishing warning I pretended not to hear it. Thats what Mikes leaving had been like, sudden and with an awful finality. I would rather just wallow in uncertainty than have things finished. I laughed at myself. Imagine getting all philosophical and sentimental about a mug of coffee. I must be getting old.
And yet it was a young woman who stared back at me from the mirror. A young woman full of promise and hope, a young woman with bright eyes and full lips just waiting to take on the world. I never loved Mike anyway. Besides there are more important things. More important than love, I insist to myself firmly. The lid goes back on the coffee just like closure on the whole Mike experience.
He doesnt haunt my dreams as I feared that night. Instead I am flying far across fields and woods, looking down on those below me. Suddenly I fall to the ground and it is only when I wake up that I realize I was shot by a hunter, brought down by the burden of not the bullet but the soul of the man who shot it. I realize later, with some degree of understanding, that Mike was the hunter holding me down and I am the bird that longs to fly. The next night my dream is similar to the previous nights, but without the hunter. I fly free until I meet another bird who flies with me in perfect harmony. I realize with some relief that there is a bird out there for me, there is another person, not necessarily a lover perhaps just a friend, but there is someone out there who is my soul mate. I think about being a broken vase again and realize that I have glued myself back together, what Mike has is merely a little part of my time in earth, a little understanding of my physical being. He has only, a little piece of me.
当他告诉我他要离开的时候,我感觉自己就像花瓶裂成了碎片,跌落在茶色瓷砖地板上。他一直在说话,解释着为什么要离开,说什么这是最好的,我可以做得更好,都是他的错,与我无关。虽然这些话我已经听上好几千遍了,可每次听完都让我很受伤,或许在这样巨大的打击面前没有人能做到无动于衷。
他走了,我尝试着继续过自己的生活。我烧开水,拿出红色杯子,看着咖啡粉末一点点地落入骨灰瓷的杯子里。这正是我自己的鲜活写照,不断地往下掉咖啡粉末,却从来没有真正地泡成一杯咖啡。
水开了,水壶发出警报声,我假装没有听见。迈克的离去也是一样,突如其来,并且无可挽回。要知道,我宁愿忍受分与不分的煎熬,也不愿意以这样的方式被宣判“死刑”。想着想着我就哑然失笑,自己竟然为一杯咖啡有如此多的人生感怀,我自己一定是老了。
可是镜子里回瞪着我的那个女孩还是那么年轻啊!明目皓齿,充满了前途与希望,光明的未来在向她招手。没关系的,反正我也从来没有爱过迈克。何况,生命中还有比爱更重要的东西在等待着我,我对自己坚持说。我将咖啡罐的盖子盖好,也将所有关于迈克的记忆尘封起来。
那天晚上,出乎意料的是,他并没有入到我的梦中。在梦里,我飞过田野和森林,俯瞰着大地。突然间,我掉了下来……醒来后才发现原来自己被猎人打中了,但是令我坠落的不是他的子弹,而是他的灵魂。我后来才渐渐明白,原来迈克就是那个使我坠落的猎人,而我是那只渴望飞翔的小鸟。到了第二天晚上,我仍然做了类似的梦,但是猎人不见了,我一直在自由地飞翔,直到遇上另外一只小鸟和我比翼双飞。我开始意识到,总有那么一只鸟,那么一个人在前面等我,这个人可能是我的爱人,可能只是朋友,但一定是知我懂我的人,这令我感觉如释重负。我想起曾经觉得自己像花瓶一样裂开了,才意识到原来自己已经把自己修理好了。迈克只是我生命过程中的小小过客,他仅仅了解我的表面,他仅仅是我生命中的小小一部分。

生活之路
The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and they despise the sprightly flitter that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them; they are good citizens, good husbands, and good fathers, and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting.
大多数人的生活被他们身处的环境所决定。他们不仅接受既定的命运,而且顺从命运的安排。他们就像街上的有轨电车一样,在他们既定的轨道上行驶,而对于那些不时出没于车水马龙间和欢快地奔驰在旷野上的廉价小汽车却不屑一顾。我尊重他们,他们是好市民、好丈夫和好父亲。当然,总得有些人来支付税收,但是,他们并没有令人激动的地方。
I am fascinated by the men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it in to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events, we have the illusion of it. At a cross-road it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or to the left and, the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the worlds history obliged us to take the turning we did.
另外有一些人,他把生活掌握在自己的手里,可以按照自己的喜好去创造生活,尽管这样的人少之又少,但我却被他们深深地吸引着。可能世界上并没有诸如自由意志这样的事情,但是无论怎样,我们总有关于自由意志的幻想。当我们处在一个十字路口时,我们似乎可以决定向左走还是向右走,可是一旦做出选择,我们却很难意识到,实际上是世界历史的全部进程强迫我们做出了那样的选择。

挖掘黄金
When I was a young boy in Santa Cruz, California I used to help my Grandfather in the fields by his home. This was not his land but back in those days it was not unusual to barter with the neighbours to worked it for them so he could grow the vegetables that he loved. He would then share them with the neighbour for payment. He grew corn, beans, peas, zucchini, cucumbers and garlic. And nobody could grow bigger dahlias than my Grandfather.
在我很小的时候,我的祖父家住在加利福尼亚的圣克鲁斯城,我常常去祖父家附近的田地里帮他干农活。尽管那块田地是属于祖父的邻居,但在那个时候,邻居之间作实物交易是很常见的,所以祖父也能在那块田地种上自己喜爱的农作物。而作为报酬,在收割时祖父就与邻居们一同分享果实。祖父通常种植玉米、大豆、豌 豆、南瓜、黄瓜和大蒜。祖父的'农艺很高超,就连他种的大丽花长得也要比邻居们种的高大许多。
As I worked along side him he used to love to tell this story of a named Giuseppe (Joe) and his wife who moved to a new farm with their three sons. They were settling into the new community when a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the dirt of his new property. Joe took that statement as that there was actual gold in the land. He thought to himself, “I have three healthy sons, I will tell them about it”. Indeed he told his sons that there was gold to be found in their new property. Needless to say his sons actually took charge of their personal enterprise right on their own land. They had visions of what they would do when they found gold. Each son had a different vision. For as young as they were, they set up quite a professional approach in the digging for gold.
当我在一旁帮祖父干农活时,他总爱给我讲一个名叫乔的一家人的故事。故事是这样的:乔带着妻子和他们的三个儿子搬到了一个新的农场。当乔一家人住进一个新杜区以后,附近的一位农夫告诉乔说他的地里有黄金。乔昕后以为这片土地有真的黄金存在,就在心里暗想我有三个健壮的儿子,我应该把这件事告诉他们。"于是,乔告诉他的儿子说,在他们家的这块新地产上可以找到黄金。不必说,他的儿子们立刻去地里挖掘黄金了,就好像把这件事当成了自己的事业一样。他们幻想着找到黄金以后去做什么,但每一个人都有各自不同的梦想。因为他们如此年轻,还提出一个相当专业的挖掘黄金的方法。
They began in one corner with a certain width and kept going until they got to the end. Once they got to the property line they would start another swath and go back the other direction. They began to realize that digging for gold was fun! This procedure went on for about six months and they still weren through going through the whole property.
他们先从一个角落开始挖掘,并以特定的一个宽度继续向前挖,一直挖到这块土地的尽头。他们渐渐觉得挖掘黄金这件事充满了无穷的乐趣!就这样不知不觉,他们连续挖了六个月,仍然陶醉在拥有黄金以后的美梦里。
Meanwhile Joe thought he would plant some crops in the area where the dirt had been turned thoroughly. He planted corn, tomatoes, potatoesand onions. His sons continued to dig through the soil, determined to find gold. As more dirt was available. Joe planted more crops. An interesting point here is that Joe had never farmed before but it had always been a dream of his to do so.
与此同时,乔有了新的想法,他打算在这些彻底翻新过的土地上种一些农作物。于是,他开始种玉米、西虹柿、马铃薯和洋葱。而他的儿子们仍在这块土地上继续不停地挖掘着,一心想找到黄金。随着可利用的土地越来越多,乔的农作物也越种越多。有趣的是,乔以前从来不会种田,那似乎是他所不敢想象的,然而现在他却做到了。

项脊轩志(明 归有光)
项脊轩,旧南阁子也。室仅方丈,可容一人居。百年老屋,尘泥渗漉,雨泽下注;每移案,顾视无可置者。
又北向不能得日,日过午已昏。余稍为修萁,使不上漏。前辟四窗,垣墙周庭,以当南日。日影反照,室始洞然。又杂植兰桂竹木于庭,旧时栏楯,亦遂增胜。
借书满架,偃仰啸歌,冥然兀坐,万籁有声,而庭价寂寂,小鸟时来啄食,人至不去。三五之夜,明月半墙,桂影斑驳,风移影动,珊珊可爱。然予居于此,多可喜,亦多可悲。
先是庭中通南北为一,迨诸父异爨,内外多置小门墙,往往而是。东犬西吠,客踰庖而宴,鸡栖于厅。庭中始为禽,已为墙,凡再变矣。

白色山茶花
——席慕容
山茶又开了,那样洁白而又美丽的花朵,开了满树。
每次,我都不能无视地走过一棵开花的树。那样洁白温润的花朵,从青绿的小芽儿开始,到越来越饱满,到慢慢地绽放;从半圆,到将圆,到满圆。花开的时候,你如果肯仔细地去端详,你就能明白它所说的每一句话。就因为每一朵花只能开一次,所以,它就极为小心地绝不错一步,满树的花,就没有一朵开错了的。它们是那样慎重和认真地迎接着唯一的一次春天。
所以,我每次走过一棵开花的树,都不得不惊讶与屏息于生命的美丽。

如果哪一天,我们都发现,好聚好散不过是种遮掩。”
--《如果有一天》
人生若只如初见,何事秋风悲画扇。
等闲变却故人心,却道故人心易变。
骊山语罢清宵半,泪雨霖铃终不怨。
何如薄幸锦衣郎,比翼连枝当日愿。
--纳兰
一缕青烟,才知人生逃不过脆弱,燃尽的伤痛,在灰烬中执着,嘴角倔强的笑容嘲讽着这个世界,昏暗的天,看不透的苦涩,这一生,像那厚厚的百年孤独,离去的心,留给世人总是一道伤口。当时间从指缝间荒凉,当光阴从春荣秋枯中重复,殊不知最大的幸福不是得到,而是拥有。
“有些人,似荷,只能远观;有些人,如茶
