一、

A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” The boy replied, “Air.” Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret.”

"Oh,I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle.The chicken replied,"Don't give it another thought.That's the mighty eagle,the king of all birds-you could never be like him!"

英語勵(lì)志美文短篇帶中文翻譯

June 24 If a man is ever going to admit that hebelongs to the earth, not the other way round,itprobably will be in late June.Then it is that lifesurpasses man’s affairs with incredible urgencyand outreaches him in every direction.Even thefarmer, on whom we all depend for the substance ofexistence,knows then that the best he can do iscooperate with wind and weather, soil and seed.Theincalculable energy of chlorophyll, the green leaf itself, dominates the earth,and the root in thesoil is the inescapable fact. Even the roadside weed ignores man’s legislation.

The urgency is everywhere. Grass blankets the earth, reaching for the sun, spreads itsroots,flowers and comes to seed. The forest widens its canopy, strengthens its boles, nurtures its seedlings, ripens its perpetuating nuts. The birds nest and hatch their fledglings. The beetle and the bee are busy at the grassrootand the blossom, and the butterfly layseggs that will hatch and crawl and eat and pupate and take to the air once more. Fish spawnand meadow voles harvest the wild meadows, and owls and foxes feed their young. Dragonflies and swallows and nighthawks seine the air where the minute winged creatures flitout their minute life spans.

And man, who glibly calls the earth his own, neither powers the leaf nor energizes the fragilewing.Man participates, but his dominance is limited. It is the urgency of life, or growth, thatrules.Late June and early Summer are the ultimate, unarguable proof.

如果一個(gè)人愿意承認(rèn)他是屬于地球的而不是地球?qū)儆谒�，那很可能就是�?月份的晚些時(shí)候。這個(gè)時(shí)候，自然生機(jī)那種只爭朝夕的精神比起人類亊務(wù)來真是緊迫得令人難人置信，在各方面都勝人類一籌。就連農(nóng)民(我們依靠他們生產(chǎn)的東西 維持生存)也知道這時(shí)候最好是能順應(yīng)風(fēng)雨天候，照料土壞種子。主宰著大地的是葉綠素?zé)o法估算的能源以及綠葉本身，土壤中有根的存在，這是自不待言的。即使是路邊的野草也都沖破人為的制約蔓生開來。

那種只爭朝夕的緊迫感無處不在。草如綠毯,鋪滿大地，一直伸向太陽;它四處伸延根須，開花結(jié)籽。森林拓展其華蓋，強(qiáng)固其主干，給其秧苗輸送養(yǎng)分，并使長了許久的堅(jiān)果漸趨成熟。鳥雀筑巢并孵化雛鳥。甲蟲在草根旁奔忙，蜜蜂在花叢中飛逐。蝴蝶則在產(chǎn)卵，將來孵出的小蟲從爬行、吃食、化蛹到振翅飛舞 再經(jīng)歷一次循環(huán)。魚兒也在產(chǎn)卵，田鼠則在野生的牧場上采獲食物。貓頭鷹和狐貍給它們的幼仔喂食。蜻蜓、燕子和夜鷹在天空中像圍網(wǎng)似地捕食，而極小的有翼動物在空中輕快地飛來飛去，頃刻間其想暫的生命便結(jié)束了。

然而,人類揚(yáng)畝地球?qū)儆谒麄?可是既不能給葉片以能量又不能給脆弱的翅臃以力量。人類只是參與其中，而其主導(dǎo)地位是有限的。駕御一切的是生命或生長只爭朝夕的緊迫性。6月份晚些時(shí)候的初夏時(shí)節(jié)從根本上無可爭辯地證明了這一點(diǎn)。
