短篇英语美文摘抄篇一
She is the Whole World To Him 她是他的整个世界
One of my persistent fantasies used to be of sitting at a sidewalk cafe in Paris .I would be writing with my pen in a notebook while smoking.I would not be writing economics. I would be writing a novel or perhaps poetry or even a philosophical treatise.But i would frenquently raise my eyes to watch the girls go by.
I no longer have that fantasy. I do ,however,eat from time to time outdoors at a restaurant on the street leading to the Kennedy Center. I don't try to write there.Instead, I watch the passers by.
I am not concentrating on girls.I am concentrating on married couples,and i look particularly at the women.They are not glamorous.No Marilyn Monroes.Some are pretty, but many would be considered plain. since they are on their way to the Kennedy Center to attend a play, an opera or a concert, one may assume they are above average in cultural literacy. in other respects they are ,like most people, average.
But to the man whose hand or arm she is holding,she is not "average". she is the whole world to him.
Genesis says,"And the Lord God said 'It is not good that the man should be alone;I will make him a helper fit for him'" And so ,"made he a woman." it doesn'tsay that he made a pretty or a witty woman ,or an any kind of adjective woman. He made the basic woman.
Why is this basic woman so valuable to the man?Three things:
First ,she is a warm body in bed. I don't refer to sexual activity. That is important .But I refer to something that is , If possible,even more primitive:human contact.
A baby crying in its crib doesn't want conversation or a gold ring. He wants to be held and patted . Adults need that physical contact also. They need to cuddle together for warmth and comfort in an indifferent or cold world .The plain woman an d plain man do that for each other.
But conversation is also important .These couples may have been talking to each other for 30 years or more. You might think they have nothing left to say.But still they can talk to each other in ways they cannot talk to anyone else.He can tell her of something good he has done without fearing she will think he is bragging . He can count on her interset and understanding.
The primary purpose of this conversation is not to convery information,Its purpose is to say,"I am here, and I know that you are here"
Third,the woman serves the man's need to be needed. if no one needs you, what good are you? other people-employers,students, readers-you say the need you. But in such relationships you are replaceable at some price.to To this woman you are not replaceable at any price. That gives you the self-esteem to meet the world every day.
So this "ordinary"woman-one like 50 million others in America-as great value to this man. And while I have written these views from a man's point of view, I don't think the relationship is one-side. On the contrary, I am sure it is reciprocal.
I can hear you saying:" How do you know all this?you are only an economist, practitioner of the dismal science." That is true.But my wife and I walked up that hill to the Kennedy Center many times.
短篇英语美文摘抄篇二
WHO CAN UNDERSTAND LOVE
Once upon a time, there was an island inhabited by Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the rest of it, including Love. One day word got around 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 can't. 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 can't 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."

Worrying Only Gives You Wrinkles
Do you remember as a child being afraid of the bulky man or monsters at night?But now that you’re an adult you know better than to be afraid of things that don’t exist,right?It’s amazing how we adults still have fears in worrys about things that are not real.Like the man who said,don’t tell me worrying doesn’t help. Almost all the things I worry about never happen to me. The crazy thing is that worry in fear makes you run from something that isn’t even chasing you,besides worrying only gives you wrinkles,which is just something to worry about.England’s prime minister Winston Churchill, said that whenever he started to worry,he would remember the man on his who said I had a lot of trouble in my life and most of it never happened.You see it’s not work that kills people,it’s worry.When you fear the future you’re wasting the present.Besides today has enough trouble of its own,so at night,give your worrys to god.He’s up all night anyway.Worrying is kind of like a rockingchair .It keep you going ,but you don’t keep it anywhere.And if you can’t help worrying,remember that worrying can’t help you either.Fear will often find proof for itself.If you’re fearful,you’ll find something to be fearful about.That’s why the American president Franklin D. Roosevelt said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.Many of us are afraid of what others think,but if we know how suddenly actually they think about us, we know not to worry.So whatever you’r afraid of or worry about,ask yourself,is it real?And if it is real,how will worrting about it will help you?How long will it last?Is there something you can change?If not,how can you best accept it?Then finally ask yourself, how important will this be a year for now,will it be important to me at the end of my life? Just think a minute.
