英語優美哲理散文精選

　　散文是文學中常見的一種體裁,英語中散文作品更是一種重要文體。下面小編為大家帶來的內容，希望對你有用。

　　篇一：代表一生經歷的四個詞

　　Love

　　愛

　　Love plays a pivotal role on our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better。

　　愛在生活之外扮演了一個關鍵的角色。愛使你想要得到些什麼。沒有愛，一個人將走向不歸路，變得凶暴、殘忍。在我們最初的人生道路上，我們的父母給予了我們無條件的關愛，他們教會我們判斷正確與錯誤、好與壞。然而我們常常把這想當然了，只有等到我們結了婚並且有了孩子之後，一個人才會懂得並注意別人的感受。孩子讓我們變得富有責任心、變得成熟穩重，並且更好的理解人生。

　　Happiness and Sorrow

　　快樂與悲傷

　　Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others’ face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away。

　　物質上的快樂往往是短暫的，然而，當你給予他人一個微笑的時候，那種滿足卻是無與倫比的。心靈的平靜往往是快樂的源泉。沒有平和的心態就沒有快樂的心情。 在傷心的時候，我們往往能夠體會到快樂的真諦。悲傷基本都來自於一個愛人的去世、失敗還有絕望，但是這樣的事情都是暫時的，總會過去的。

　　Failure and Success

　　失敗與成功

　　Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones。

　　失敗是成功之母。它讓我們觸及藍天，它教會我們如何生存，它給予我們一條特殊的路。成功給予我們金錢、名譽、驕傲和自尊。這裡，保持頭腦清醒便顯得尤為重要。唯一能讓我們感激上帝給予的成功便是始終卑微、謙虛、禮貌並且尊重沒有我們幸運的人們。

　　Hope and Despair

　　希望與絕望

　　Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful。

　　希望是人生動力之源。父母總是希望自己的孩子能夠做得很好。希望使我們有夢想。希望使我們變得有耐心。人生教會我們即使是在最困難的時候都不要絕望，因為黑暗之後終將是黎明。沒有什麼事一成不變的，我們惟有充滿希望地繼續生活。

　　Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow。

　　人生教會我們不要對過去的事感到後悔，因為過去的終究是過去了並且我們已無法控制。沒人知道明天會是怎樣，因為它可以是光明的同樣也可以是無趣的。所以，唯一的選擇便是在今天努力工作，這樣才能讓我們去享受更美好的明天。

　　篇三：愛的價值 The Value of Love

　　The cheerful girl with 1***bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout 2***stand, she saw them: a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink 3***foil box. “Oh please, Mommy. Can I have them” Please, mommy, please!”

　　這個興高采烈的女孩差不多五歲了，留著一頭富有彈性的金黃卷發。她正和媽媽在收銀臺旁排隊等候交錢，忽然，她看見一串閃閃發光的白珍珠，裝在一個粉紅色的金屬盒裡。“噢，媽咪，能給我買那個嗎?媽咪，求你了!”

　　Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl’s upturned face. “A dollar ninety-five. That’s almost $2.00. If you really want them, I’ll think of some extra 4***chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday’s only a week away and you might get another 5***crisp dollar bill from Grandma.”

　　她的媽媽迅速看了看那個小金屬盒的背後，然後回過頭望著女兒仰起的臉孔裡那雙充滿懇求的藍眼睛。“1.95美元。幾乎要2美元。如果你真想要，我會給你多一些家務做。很快你就能存夠錢給自己買了。再過一個星期就是你的生日，奶奶也許會給你一張嶄新的一美元鈔票。”

　　As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny 6***bank and counted out 17 pennies. After dinner, she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs. McJames if she could pick 7***dandelions for ten cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace.

　　詹妮一回到家就把儲錢罐裡的錢全倒了出來，數了數，一共17美分。飯後，她做家務比往常更勤快了。她還跑到鄰居家問麥克詹姆斯太太，願不願意花10美分讓她幫忙採蒲公英。她生日那天，奶奶真的給了她一張嶄新的一美元紙幣。最後，她終於存夠了錢買那串項鍊。

　　Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere—Kindergarten, 8***Sunday school, even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a 9***bubble bath. Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck green.

　　詹妮很喜愛這一串珍珠項鍊。戴上它，她便感到自己打扮得很漂亮，感到自己很成熟。她走到哪兒都戴著它——上幼兒園，星期天上主日學校，甚至是在睡覺的時候，只有游泳或洗泡泡浴時才取下。媽媽說，如果那些珍珠溼了水，就可能染綠她的脖子。

　　Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me”

　　詹妮有一個慈愛的爸爸。每晚她臨睡前，爸爸總會停下手頭上的工作，上樓來給她讀一個故事。有一天晚上，當爸爸講完了故事，他問詹妮：“你愛爸爸嗎?”

　　“Oh ye Daddy. You know that I love you.”

　　“嗯，爸爸，你知道我愛你。”

　　“Then give me your pearls.”

　　“那把你的那條珍珠項鍊送給爸爸吧。”

　　“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess—the white horse from my collection. The one with the pink tail. Remember, Daddy” The one you gave me. She’s my favorite.”

　　“噢，爸爸，不要是珍珠項鍊嘛。我給你我百寶箱裡的公主——那匹長著粉紅色尾巴的白馬。爸爸你記起了嗎?那是你送給我的。她是我最喜歡的寶貝。”

　　“That’s okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night.”And he 10***brushed her cheek with a kiss.

　　“好吧，甜心。爸爸愛你。晚安。”他輕吻了一下女兒的臉頰。

　　About a week later, after the story time, Jenny’s daddy asked again, “Do you love me”

　　過了一個星期，讀完故事，詹妮的爸爸又問：“你愛爸爸嗎?”

　　“Daddy, you know I love you.”

　　“爸爸，你知道我愛你。”

　　“Then give me your pearls.”

　　“那把你的那條珍珠項鍊送給爸爸吧。”

　　“Oh Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is so beautiful and you can have the yellow 11***blanket that matches her 12***sleeper.”

　　“噢，爸爸，不要是珍珠項鍊嘛。我給你我的娃娃，我生日收到的那個新的。她很漂亮，你還可以要那條和她睡衣顏色很相襯的黃色毛毯。”

　　“That’s okay. Sleep well, little one. Daddy loves you.”And as alway he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.

　　“好吧。寶貝，睡個好覺。爸爸愛你。”像往常一樣，他輕吻了一下女兒的臉頰。

　　A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed 13***Indian-style. As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek.

　　過了幾夜，爸爸走進詹妮的房間，她正盤腿坐在床上。爸爸走近時發現，詹妮的下巴顫抖著，一顆淚珠無聲地滑落她的臉頰。

　　“What is it, Jenny” What’s the matter”?

　　“怎麼了，詹妮?發生什麼事了?”

　　Jenny didn’t say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little 14***quiver, she finally said, “Here, Daddy. It’s for you.”

　　詹妮沒有答話，只把小手舉到爸爸面前。她攤開手掌，露出她那串小小的珍珠項鍊。她微微顫抖了一下，最終說道：“爸爸，這是送給你的。”

　　With tears gathering in his own eye Jenny’s kind daddy reached out with one hand to take the 15***dime-store necklace, and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue 16***velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny. He had had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her genuine treasure.

　　爸的眼裡滿是淚水，慈愛的他伸出一隻手，拿起珍妮手裡那串在廉價商店裡買的項鍊，另一隻手則伸進自己的口袋裡，拿出一個用天鵝絨包裹著的藍色盒子，裡面裝著一串用天然珍珠串成的項鍊遞給詹妮。他一直帶著這串項鍊。他只是等待女兒放棄那串廉價的珍珠項鍊，好送給她這份天然的珍品。
