　　英語文章朗讀篇1：Mirror, Mirror---What do I See?

　　A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

　　Mirrors have a very particular function. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a physical mirror serves as the vehicle to reflection, so do all of the people in our lives.

　　When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden serves as a reflection. In order to see the beauty in front of us, we must be able to see the beauty inside of ourselves. When we love someone, it’s a reflection of loving ourselves. When we love someone, it’s a reflection of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I’m with that person.” That simply translates into “I’m able to love me when I love that other person.” Oftentimes, when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it’s as if we’ve known each other for a long time. That feeling can come from sharing similarities.

　　Just as the “mirror” or other person can be a positive reflection, it is more likely that we’ll notice it when it has a negative connotation. For example, it’s easy to remember times when we have met someone we’re not particularly crazy about. We may have some criticism in our mind about the person. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend less time.

　　Frequently, when we dislike qualities in other people, ironically, it’s usually the mirror that’s speaking to us.

　　I began questioning myself further each time I encountered someone that I didn’t particularly like. Each time, I asked myself, “What is it about that person that I don’t like?” and then “Is there something similar in me?” in every instance, I could see a piece of that quality in me, and sometimes I had to really get very introspective. So what did that mean?

　　It means that just as I can get annoyed or disturbed when I notice that aspect in someone else, I better reexamine my qualities and consider making some changes. Even if I’m not willing to make a drastic change, at least I consider how I might modify some of the things that I’m doing.

　　At times we meet someone new and feel distant, disconnected, or disgusted. Although we don’t want to believe it, and it’s not easy or desirable to look further, it can be a great learning lesson to figure out what part of the person is being reflected in you. It’s simply just another way to create more self-awareness.

　　譯文：

　　鏡子，鏡子，告訴我

　　充滿愛意人的生活在充滿愛意的世界裡，充滿敵意的人則生活在充滿敵意的世界裡。你所遇到的每一個人都是你的鏡子。

　　鏡子裡有一個非常獨特的功能，那就是映射出在其前面的影像。就像真正的鏡子具有反射功能一樣，我們生活中的所有人也都能映射出他人的影子。

　　當我們看到美麗的事物時，例如一座花園，那這花園就起到了反射作用。為了發現我們面前美好的事物，我們必須能發現在自己內在的美。我們愛某個人，也正是我們愛自己的表現。我們經常聽到這樣的話：“當我和那個人在一起的時候，我愛那時的自己。”這句話也可以簡單地說成：“在我愛那個人的同時，我也能愛我自己。”有時，我們遇見一個陌生人，感覺彷彿是一見如故，就好像我們已經相識甚久。這種熟悉感可能來自於彼此身上的共同點。

　　就像“鏡子”或他人能映射出我們積極的一面一樣，我們更有可能注意到映射出自己消極方面的“鏡子”。例如，我們很容易就能記住我們碰到自己不太喜歡的人的時刻。我們可能在心裡對那個人有些反感。當我們認識自己不喜歡與之相處的人時，這種情況就更為明顯。

　　具有諷刺意味著的是，通常當我們討厭別人身上的某些特質時，那就說明你其實討厭自己身上相類似的特質。

　　每次，當我遇到不太喜歡的人時，我就開始進一步質問自己。我會捫心自問：“我不喜歡那個人的哪些方面?”然後還會問：“我是不是有和他相似的地方?”每次，我都能在自己身上看到一些令我厭惡的特質。我有時不得不深刻地反省自己。那這意味著什麼呢?

　　這意味著，就像我會對其他人身上令我厭惡的特質感到惱怒或不安一樣，我應該更好地重新審視自己的特質，並考慮做一些改變。即使我不想做大的改變，至少我會考慮該如何修正自己正在做的一些事情。

　　我們時常會遇到陌生人，並感到疏遠或厭惡。儘管我們不想去相信，不容易也不想去深究，但是弄清楚別人的哪些特質在自己身上有所體現是非常有意義的一課，這也正是增強自我意識的另一個途徑。

　　英語文章朗讀篇2：An October Sunrise

　　I was up the next morning be fore the October sunrise, and away through the wild and the woodland. The rising of the sun was noble in the cold and warmth of it peeping down the spread of light, he raised his shoulder heavily over the edge of grey mountain and wavering length of upland. Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped, and crept to crept to the hollow places; then stole away in line and column, holding skirts, and clinging subtly at the sheltering corners where rock hung over grassland, while the brave lines of the hills came forth, one beyond other gliding.

　　The woods arose in folds, like drapery of awakened mountains, stately with a depth of awe, and memory of the tempests. Autumn’s mellow hand was upon them, as they owned already, touched with gold and red and olive, and their joy towards the sun was less to a bridegroom than a father.

　　Yet before the floating impress of the woods could clear it self, suddenly the gladsome light leaped over hill and valley, casting amber, blue, and purple, and a tint of rich red rose; according to the scene they lit on, and the curtain flung around; yet all alike dispelling fear and the cloven hoof of darkness, all on the wings of hope advancing, and proclaiming, “God is here!” then life and joy sprang reassured from every crouching hollow; every flower, and bud and bird had a fluttering sense of them; and all the flashing of God’s gaze merged into soft beneficence.

　　So, perhaps, shall break upon us that eternal morning, when crag and chasm shall be no more, neither hill and valley, nor great unvintaged ocean; but all things shall arise, and shine in the light of the Father’s countenance, because itself is risen.

　　譯文：

　　十月的日出

　　第二天凌晨，在十月的太陽升起之前，我已經起身並穿過了曠野和叢林。十月的清晨乍寒還暖，日出的景象非常壯觀。透過一片晨曦，朝日從朦朧的山岡和起伏連綿的高地過際，沉重地抬起肩頭。在它的逼視下，濛濛的霧氣向下沉降，落到窪地裡去，接著一絲絲一縷縷地悄悄飄散，而在草地之上懸巖之下的那些隱祕角落裡，霧氣卻還不願散去，同時群山的雄姿接二連三地顯現出來。

　　森林也層層疊疊地顯現，宛若剛剛甦醒的山巒的斗篷，端莊威嚴，並帶著狂風暴雨的回憶。秋天成熟的手已經在撫摸這些山林，因為它們的顏色已經改變，染上了金黃，丹紅和橄欖綠。它們對朝日所懷的一片喜悅，像是要奉獻給一個新郎，更像是要奉獻給一位父親。

　　然而，在樹林那流動的景色逝去之前，歡悅的晨光突然躍出了峰巒和山谷，光線所及，把照到的地方和周圍的森林分別染成青色，紫色，琥珀色和富麗的紅玫瑰色。光線照到哪裡，那裡就如同一幅幕布被掀開。而所有的一切都同樣在驅散恐懼和黑暗的魔影;所有的一切都展開希望的翅膀，向前習翔，並大聲宣告：“上帝在這裡!”於是生命和歡樂從每一個蜷伏的洞穴裡信心十足地欣然躍出;一切花朵，蓓蕾和鳥雀都感到了生命和歡樂而抖動起來;上帝的凝視匯合成溫柔的恩澤。

　　也許，那永恆的晨光就會這樣降臨人間，那時不再有險崖溝壑，不再有峰巒山谷，也不再有浩瀚無際的海洋;萬物都將踴躍升騰，在造物主慈愛的光芒中生輝，因為太陽已經升起。

　　英語文章朗讀篇3：On Motes and Beams

　　It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others. I suppose the reason is that we know all the circumstances that have occasioned them and so manage to excuse in ourselves what we cannot excuse in others. We turn our attention away from our own defects, and when we are forced by untoward events to consider them, find it easy to condone them. For all I know we are right to do this; they are part of us and we must accept the good and bad in ourselves together.

　　But when we come to judge others, it is not by ourselves as we really are that we judge them, but by an image that we have formed of ourselves fro which we have left out everything that offends our vanity or would discredit us in the eyes of the world. To take a trivial instance: how scornful we are when we catch someone out telling a lie; but who can say that he has never told not one, but a hundred?

　　There is not much to choose between men. They are all a hotchpotch of greatness and littleness, of virtue and vice, of nobility and baseness. Some have more strength of character, or more opportunity, and so in one direction or another give their instincts freer play, but potentially they are the same. For my part, I do not think I am any better or any worse than most people, but I know that if I set down every action in my life and every thought that has crossed my mind, the world would consider me a monster of depravity. The knowledge that these reveries are common to all men should inspire one with tolerance to oneself as well as to others. It is well also if they enable us to look upon our fellows, even the most eminent and respectable, with humor, and if they lead us to take ourselves not too seriously.

　　譯文：

　　微塵與棟樑

　　讓人奇怪的是，和別人的過錯比起來，我們自身的過錯往往不是那樣的可惡。我想，其原因應該是我們知曉一切導致自己犯錯的情況，因此能夠設法諒解自己的錯誤，而別人的錯誤卻不能諒解。我們對自己的缺點不甚關注，即便是深陷困境而不得不正視它們的時候，我們也會很容易就寬恕自己。據我所知，我們這樣做是正確的。缺點是我們自身的一部分，我們必須接納自己的好和壞。

　　但是當我們評判別人的時候，情況就不同了。我們不是通過真實的自我來評判別人，而是用一種自我形象來評判，這種自我形象完全摒棄了在任何世人眼中會傷害到自己的虛榮或者體面的東西。舉一個小例子來說：當覺察到別人說謊時，我們是多麼地蔑視他啊!但是，誰能夠說自從未說過謊?可能還不止一百次呢。

　　人和人之間沒什麼大的差別。他們皆是偉大與渺小，善良與邪惡，高尚與低俗的混合體。有的人性格比較堅毅，機會也比較多，因而達個或那個方面，能夠更自由地發揮自己的稟賦，但是人類的潛能卻都是相同的。至於我自己，我認為自己並不比大多數人更好或者更差，但是我知道，假如我記下我生命中每一次舉動和每一個掠過我腦海的想法的話，世界就會將我視為一個邪惡的怪物。每個人都會有這樣的怪念頭，這樣的認識應當能夠啟發我們寬容自己，也寬容他人。同時，假如因此我們得以用幽默的態度看待他人，即使是天下最優秀最令人尊敬的人，而且假如我們也因此不把自己看得過於重要，那是很有裨益的。

　　英語文章朗讀篇4：Work and Pleasure

　　To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: “I will take an interest in this or that.” Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human being may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual laborer, tired out with a hard week’s sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.

　　It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune’s favored children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vacation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.

　　譯文：

　　工作和娛樂

　　要想真正生活得幸福和平安，一個人至少應該有兩三種業餘愛好，而且必須是真正的愛好。到了晚年才開始說“我要培養這個或那個興趣”是毫無用處的，種這種嘗試只會增加精神上的負擔。在與自己日常工作無關的領域中，一個人可以獲得淵博的知識，但卻很難有所收益或得到放鬆。做自己喜歡的事是無益的，你得喜歡自己所做的事。廣言之，人可以分為三個類別：勞累而死的人，憂慮而死的人和無聊而死的人。對於那些體力勞動者來說，一週辛苦的工作使他們精疾力竭，因此在週六下午給他們提供踢足球或者打棒球的機會是沒有意義的。對於政界人士，專業人士或者商人來說，他們已經為棘手的事務操勞或者煩惱了六天，因此在週末請他們為瑣事勞神同樣毫無意義。

　　或者可以這麼說，理智的，勤奮的，有用的人可以分為兩類：對第一類人而言，工作就是工作，娛樂就是娛樂;對於第二類人而言，工作和娛樂是合二為一的。很大一部分人屬於前者。他們可以得到相應的補償。在辦公室或工廠里長時間的工作，不僅帶給他們維持生計的金錢，還帶給他們一種渴求娛樂的強烈慾望，哪怕這種娛樂消遣是以最簡單，最淳樸的方式進行的。而第二類人則是命運的寵兒。他們的生活自然而和諧。在他們看來，工作時間永遠不夠多，每天都是假期;而當正常的假日到來時，他們總會抱怨自己有趣的休假被強行中斷。然而，有一些東西對於這兩類人來說都十分必要，那就是變換一下視角，改變一下氛圍，嘗試做點不同的事情。事實上，那些把工作看作娛樂的人可能是需要以某種方式將工作不時地驅趕出自己的大腦。
