600字英语美文篇1
人类将取胜
I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work，a life’s work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit,but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before.So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be diffcult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin.But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too,
by using this moment as a pinnacle from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whom is already that one who will some day stand here whereI am standing.
Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflictwith itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat. He must learn them again.
He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget itforever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed，love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, ofdefeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories whthout hope and, worst of all, without pityor compassion.His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but ofthe glands.
Until he relearns these things, he will write as though he stood among and watched the end of man. I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal,not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrfice and endurance.
The poet’s, the writer’s duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man,it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.
我觉得，这个奖不是授给我这个人，而是授给我的创作——那沉浸于人类心灵的煎熬与劳苦之中的毕生劳作——它既不为名誉，亦不为利润，只是为了创造出前所未有的人类精神的样本。因而，这个奖只是由我暂时保管罢了。要为这笔奖金找一个与它设置的目的和意义相称的用途并非难事，然而我却想以同样的方式利用这个赞美——我要把这个时刻当作一个巅峰，使自己能被那些已经献身于同样的心灵煎熬与劳苦的青年男女们听见，未来的某一天他们中的一个将会站在我今天所站的地方。
我们今天的悲剧，是一种全面的普遍的肉体的恐惧，这种恐惧持续已久以至我们甚至能够忍受它。不再有心灵的问题了，剩下的只有一个疑问：我何时会被毁灭?因此当今从事写作的青年男女已经忘记人的内心冲突的问题，而惟有它才能产生好的作品，因为只有它才值得我们去写，值得我们为之忍受煎熬与劳苦。
对此他必须重新学习。他必须告诫自己，所有事物中最卑劣的便是恐惧;他必须告诫自己，永远忘记它;在他的工场不应有任何其他东西，除了古老的真理和心灵的真实——没了这普遍的真理，任何文学作品都是短命的，僵死的——这就是爱、荣誉、怜悯、自尊、同情和牺牲。在他这样做之前，他将在诅咒下劳作。他描写的不是爱情而是性欲。他写的失败中没有人失去任何有价值的东西，他写的成功里没有希望——更糟的是——没有怜悯与同情。他的悲哀因缺乏普世价值的骨骼而留不下伤痕。他描绘的不是人的心灵，而是他的腺体。
除非他学会了这些事情，否则，他将如同置身于末日为注视末日的来临而写。我拒绝接受人类末日的说法。仅仅因为人能够忍受就说他是不朽的，这也太轻松了。说什么即便当那末日的钟声敲响，并从那默默地悬坠于垂死的黄昏与夕阳的残红里的最后的无价值的岩石上飘零消逝之时，世界上还会有一种声音——即人的微弱却永不衰竭的声音——在不停地诉说。我拒绝接受这个。我深信，人不仅会忍耐，他还将蓬勃发展。他是不朽的，不是因为生物中唯有他的声音永不衰竭，而是因为他有灵魂，有能同情能牺牲能忍耐的心灵。
诗人和作家的责任，就在于描写这些事物。他的特权，就在于通过升华人的心灵，通过唤醒人的勇气、荣誉、希望、尊严、同情、怜悯和牺牲这些记录了人的往昔光荣的精神，来帮助人忍耐。诗人的声音，不必仅仅成为人的记录，更能成为帮助他忍耐与成功的一种支柱和栋梁。

美国人的性格
Most Americans have great vigor and enthusiasm.They prefer to discipline themselves rather than be disciplined by others.They pride themselves on their independence, their right to make up their own minds.They are prepared to take the initiative, even when there is a risk in doing so. They have courage and do not give in easily.They will take any sort of job anywhere rather than be unemployed.They do not care to be looked after by the government.The average American changes his or her job nine or ten times during his or her working life.
Americans have a warmth and friendliness which is less superficial than many foreigners think.They are considered sentimental. When on ceremonial occasions they see a flag,or attend parades celebrating America’ glorious past, tears may come to their eyes.Reunions with family and friends tend to be emotional, too.They like to dress correctly, even if “correctly” means flamboyantly.They love to boast, though often with tongue in cheek.They can laugh at themselves and their country, and they can be very self-critical,while remaining always intensely patriotic. They have a wide knowledge of everyday things,and a keen interest in their particular city and state. Foreigners sometimes complain, however, that they have little interest inor knowledge of the outside world.
The Americans have a passion for grandeur. Their skyscrapers, bridges and dams often have a splendor whichmatches in beauty and scale the country’s natural wonders.Is the sole aim of most Americans to make moneyand possess luxuries which could be called excessive?The majority of Americans would certainly deny this,though most feel proud to amass wealth and possessions through hard work.In the USA, about 90% of the population is well enough off to expect a brighter future. The USA still has one of the highest standards of living in the world, although,at the present time, 10% are below what the Government considers to be the “poverty line.”While these underprivileged people receive help from the Government,they have no high hopes for their future.It is from this “underclass,”and those who take advantage of it, that most of the violence springs,which is one of the least pleasant aspects of American society.Americans are beginning to realize that this terrible problem of poverty is their problem and not just the Government’s.It has been saidthat the individual American is generous, but that the American nation is hard.
The USA is reputed to be a classless society.There is certainly not much social snobbery or job snobbery.The manual worker is usually quite at ease in any company.This is partly explained by the fact that people of all income groups go together to the same schools.Americans are far more race-conscious than they are class-conscious.
大多数的美国人精力充沛，热情高涨。他们宁愿自律，而不愿受制于人。他们为能独立行事、为有权做出自己的决定 而感到自豪。他们做事会采取主动，即使这样做要冒风险，也在所不惜。他们有勇气，不会轻易屈服。他们愿意到任何地方干任何工作，也不愿意失业。他们不想得到政府的照顾。普通美国人一生中换九到十次工作。
笑国人热情友好，其友好程度要比许多外国人所想的更真实一些。人们认为美国人易动感情。在典礼上看到国旗，或者参加庆祝美国光荣历史的游行时，美国人可能会热泪盈眶。与家人团圆或与朋友相聚时，他们也会十分激动。他们喜欢穿着得体，即使"得体”无异子奢华炫耀。他们喜欢自吹自擂，尽管多数情况下只不过是说说而已。他们有时会嘲笑自己、嘲笑自 己的国家，有时候甚至极为自责，然而他们始终有着强烈的爱国之心。他们对曰常事情所知甚广，对自己所在的城市和州深为关切。然而，有时候外国人却抱怨说，美国人对外部世界漠不关心，一无所知。
美国人酷爱豪华的气派。他们的庳天大楼、桥梁和水坝往往气势壮观，与美国的自然奇观之壮美和恢宏相得益彰。赚钱和拥有称得上过多的奢侈品，是不是大多数美国人惟一的目标?多数美国人肯定会予以否认，虽然他们对通过辛勘劳动积撗钱财引以为豪。在美国,90%左右的人们生话寓足，可以期盼更美好的未来。美国的生活水平世界上依然名列前茅，尽管现在还有10%左右的人处在政府认为的贫困线”以下。这些生活水平低下的人们虽然得到政府的救助，但是他们对未来不抱多大希望。正是这个“社会下层阶级”以及利用这个阶层的人引发了社会上的大多数暴乱，使之成为美国社会中最令人不快的一面。美国人开始意识到，这个非常严重的问题是他们自身的问 题,而不仅仅是政府的问题。有这样的说法：美国入作为个人是慊慨的，但美国作为一个民族则是吝啬的。
人们普遍认为，美国是个没有阶级的社会。的确，美国人对社会地位或不同工作没有什么势利眼。体力劳动者在任何场合通常都相当自在。收入档次不同的人上同一所学校，这个事实多少说明了这一点。与其说美国人有阶级意识，倒不如说他们有种族意识。

读书之乐
All the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries,are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how to get the most from it.The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
I am most interested in people, in them and finding out about them.Some of the most remarkable people I’ve met existed only in a writer’s imagination,then on the pages of his book, and then, again, in my imagination.I’ve found in books new friends, new societies, new words.
If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in who as in how.Who in the books includeseverybody from science fiction superman two hundred centuries in the future all the way back to the first figures in history.How covers everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes to the discoveries of science and ways of teaching manner to children.
Reading is pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport:your eagerness and knowledgeand quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun,not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work.Your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes beyond his.Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions,and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house,but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something, they are connected with each other and with other cities.The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places;the human problems that repeatthemselves in life repeat themselves in literature,but with different solutions according to different writings at different times.Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations,like families.Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the long run,you not only find out about the world and the people in it; you find out about yourself, too.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you you “ought”to read,you probably won’t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good tim and if you become, as a result of reading,better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t have suffered during the process.
人类世世代代全部的聪明才智，几百年来愉悦人们的所有故事，都可以轻易而实惠地从书中获得。可是，我们必须要懂得如何利用这一宝藏，进而获得最大收益。世界上最不幸的人就是那些从未体会到阅读佳作是多么令人心满意足的人。
我对人很感兴趣，对他们个人以及发掘他们同样兴趣十足。我所碰到的一些卓越的人物只能到作家的想像之中去寻找，然后又体现在作家的作品中，最后又出现在我的想像之中。我在书中结识了新朋友，拓展了社会知识，也学到了新的语言。
如果说我是对人感兴趣，那么其他人的兴趣则是关注“怎 样”而不是“谁"的问题。书中的"谁"所包括的人物可谓丰寓多彩，不仅有科幻小说中描写的两万年之后的超人，还可以追溯到人类历史的幵端。而书中的"怎样"所记录的事情也是千奇百怪，从对福尔摩斯侦探故事的巧妙叙述到科学发现以及管教孩子的方法。
读书是一种思维享受,也就是说有点像体育运动。善于读书的人需要强烈的求知欲、丰富的知识和敏捷的反应。读书之所以是一种乐趣，并不在于作者告诉你什么，而是由于读书使你积极思考。在作者的引导之下，你的想像任意驰骋，甚至超越作者的想像。对比作者的经历,你会得出自己的结论，也许相同，也许相悖，而随着你对作者思想的逐步理解，你也会变得越来越深刻。
每一部书都独立存在，犹如独门独户的房子。而图书馆中的书籍则像城市中的建筑。尽管它们各成一体，但是却共同构成一个整体。不仅它们之间相互关联，而且也与其他城市相互联系。相同或者相关的看法在不同的地方出现。文学作品中反映的就是人们生活中经常出现的事情，但是在不同时期作者的处理方式却大相径庭。书籍之间也相互影响，它们传承过去，体现现在,预测未来，相互联系，代代相传,形成各个家族。不管你从何处读起，都会有一种观点与你的相符。从长远来看，你不仅从书中了解世界，体验别人的生活，你也会认识你自己。
只有你诚心读书，阅读才会成为一种乐趣。假如你读的是别人认为“该”读的书，你很有可能觉得索然无味。假如你放下自己不喜欢的书，另试一本，直到发现自己觉得有意义的书，然后心情轻松地读下去，你肯定会感到心情畅快。假如你因阅读 而变得更为高尚、聪明、善良、文雅，那读书的过程就不再是一种负担了。
