　　簡短英語美文篇一

　　平等與偉大Equality and greatness

　　Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. Money is nothing;character,conduct,and capacity are everything.Instead of all the workers being leveled down to low wage standards and all the rich leveled up to fashionbale income standards,everybody under a system of equal incomes would find her and his own natural level.There would be great people and ordinary people and little peolpe,but the great would always be those who had done great things,and never the idiots whose mothers had spoiled them and whose fathers had left a hundred thousand a year;and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters,and not poor persons who had never had a chance.That is why idiots are always in favour of inequality of income***their only chance of eminence***,and the really great in favour of equality.

　　收入相當的人除了品性迥異以外沒有社會差別。金錢不能說明什麼;性格，行為，能力才代表一切。在收入平等制度下，每個人將會找到他或她正常的地位，而不是所有的工人被劃到應拿低工資階層，所有的富人被劃到應得高收入的階層。人有卓著偉人，平庸之輩和碌碌小人之別，然偉人總是那些有所建樹之人，而非從小深受母親溺愛，父親每年留下一大筆錢之人;碌碌小人總是那些心胸狹窄，品德卑劣之人，而不是那些從未弧機會的窮人。愚蠢之眾總是贊成收入不平等***他們職能憑藉這種機會才能為人所知***，而真正偉大之人則主張平等相待，原因就在於此。

　　人生是盤棋Life is a chess-board

　　The chess-board is the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.

　　棋盤宛如世界：一個個棋子彷彿世間的種種現象：遊戲規則就是我們所稱的自然法則。競爭對手藏於暗處，不為我們所見。我們知曉，這位對手向來處事公平，正義凜然，極富耐心。然而，我們也明白，這位對手從不忽視任何錯誤，或者因為我們的無知而做出一絲讓步，所以我們也必須為此付出代價。

　　蘭貝斯的麗莎The pleasant family

　　When in an hour they crowded into a cab to go home， I strolled idly to my club. I was perhaps a little lonely， and it was with a touch of envy that I thought of the pleasant family life of which I had had a glimpse. They seemed devoted to one another. They had little private jokes of their own which， unintelligible to the outsider， amused them enormously. Perhaps Charles Strickland was dull judged by a standard that demanded above all things verbal scintillation; but his intelligence was adequate to his surroundings，and that is a passport， not only to reasonable success， but still more to happiness. Mrs. Strickland was a charming woman， and she loved him. I pictured their lives，troubled by no untoward adventure， honest， decent， and， by reason of those two upstanding， pleasant children， so obviously destined to carry on the normal traditions of their race and station， not without significance. They would grow old insensibly; they would see their son and daughter come to years of reason， marry in due course —— the one a pretty girl， future mother of healthy children; the other a handsome， manly fellow， obviously a soldier; and at last， prosperous in their dignified retirement，beloved by their descendants， after a happy， not unuseful life， in the fullness of their age they would sink into the grave.

　　一個鐘頭以後，這一家擠上一輛馬車回家去了，我也一個人懶散地往俱樂部踱去。我也許感到有一點寂寞，回想我剛才瞥見的這種幸福家庭生活，心裡不無豔羨之感。這一家人感情似乎非常融洽。他們說一些外人無從理解的小笑話，笑得要命。如果純粹從善於辭令這一角度衡量一個人的智慧，也許查理斯。思特里克蘭德算不得聰明，但是在他自己的那個環境裡，他的智慧還是綽綽有餘的，這不僅是事業成功的敲門磚，而且是生活幸福的保障。思特里克蘭德太太是一個招人喜愛的女人，她很愛她的丈夫。我想象著這一對夫妻的生活，不受任何災殃禍變的干擾，誠實、體面，兩個孩子更是規矩可愛，肯定會繼承和發揚這一家人的地位和傳統。在不知不覺間，他們倆的年紀越來越老，兒女卻逐漸長大成人，到了一定的年齡，就會結婚成家——一個已經出息成美麗的姑娘，將來還會生育活潑健康的孩子;另一個則是儀表堂堂的男子漢，顯然會成為一名軍人。最後這一對夫妻告老引退，受到子孫敬愛，過著富足、體面的晚年。他們幸福的一生並未虛度，直到年壽已經很高，才告別了人世。
