以下是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編整理的哲理類英語美文欣賞:嶄新的一天, 希望對你有所感觸。
The sun has begun to set and I hang up the smile I’ve worn all day, though I will make sure it isthe first thing I put back on in the morning just in case it is “that day.” I want her to see me atmy very best.
太陽將要下山,我收起掛了一天的微笑,不過我會確保明天早上第一件事就是將它又掛回去,以防這天就是“那一天”。我希望她看到我的最佳狀態(tài)。
I do the normal routine, eat dinner, clean the house, write—the usual stuff.
我按平時的規(guī)律吃晚餐、打掃屋子、寫作——做著日常事務(wù)。
And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A newday with a brand new sun.
然后我躺下,希望能快點入睡,新的一天就能快點到來——擁有新生太陽的嶄新的一天。
But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. Andsometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into a snicker[竊笑], and then often thatsnicker will turn into a burst of laughter.
可當(dāng)我躺在那兒,等待著世界的日夜回轉(zhuǎn)時,我想到了她。有時我會笑起來,有時那微笑變成了竊笑,然后竊笑又常常變成爆笑。
And then there are times I get that lump[塊,團(tuán)] in my throat and that tight feeling in mychest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms[淹沒] me and begins to turn into a tear, andoften that tear multiplies[增加] itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle.
也有些時候,我的喉嚨像是被一塊東西哽住了,胸口發(fā)悶;有時那種傷感席卷而來,我開始流淚,眼淚常常越流越多,我再也無力抵抗悲傷,敗下陣來。
Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift[漂流] and find myself asleep. Thenthe dreams begin and keep me company[陪伴] until my new day arrives.
然后不知怎的,我在或喜悅或悲傷中飄蕩,逐漸入眠。然后夢境開始伴我左右,直至新的一天到來。
When I awake it’s with such excitement because I tell myself this could be the day that everyother day has led up to[作為……的準(zhǔn)備] and the first day of the rest of my life. I quickly don[穿上,披上] my smile because I do so want her to see me at my very best. Then I look out thewindow because, even though I know it’s dawn, I still have to confirm I’ve been given anotherchance to find her.
醒來時,我興奮不已,因為我告訴自己今天也許就是之前其他日子為之打下基礎(chǔ)的“那一天”,是我余生的第一天。我迅速掛上微笑,因為我真的很想讓她看到我的最佳狀態(tài)。然后我朝窗外看去,因為即使我知道現(xiàn)在才剛剛破曉,我仍得確定自己可以與她再次邂逅。
And there it is…the sun, even when it’s cloudy; somehow I still see it. And it smiles at me and Isay, “Thank you,” and I smile back.
它在那里……太陽,雖然還是云霧重重,但我還是看到它了。它朝我微笑,我道了聲“謝謝”,回以一笑。
Then I ask myself, “Is this the day?” And the excitement rushes over me again. And then I askmyself, “Where’s it going to be?”
然后我問自己:“今天就是那一天嗎?”興奮之情再次充溢全身。然后我問自己:“它會在哪里呢?”
Maybe it’ll be at the water fountain[飲水器], and, unexpectedly, there I’ll find her, and muchmore than my thirst will be quenched[熄滅].
也許它會藏在飲水機(jī)里,沒想到我真能在那里找到她,為我生津止渴,取之不盡。
Maybe it’ll be at the grocery[雜貨] store and there she’ll appear as I’m picking out fruit, andshe’ll show me the difference between fresh and spoiled. Then, from that moment, nothing thatI eat will ever taste the same because she’ll bring out the simplest beauties in everything I see,taste, smell, hear, or touch.
也許它會躲在雜貨店里,我拿起水果的時候,她就出現(xiàn)了,她會給我展示新鮮和變質(zhì)的不同。然后,從那一刻開始,我所嘗到的一切味道不再一樣,因為但凡我看到的、嘗到的、聞到的、聽到的或摸到的東西,她都帶出了它們最簡單的美麗。
Or maybe today will be the day when my angel brings an item up to the cash register[收銀機(jī)]without its price tag[標(biāo)簽]. And as I wait behind this angel with all the frustrated people who arein such a hurry with their busy lives, I will find myself with such blessed extra time. Just enoughtime to start a conversation with this beautiful vision standing in front of me that I might nototherwise have noticed, but, because of a “price check on register 5,” I was able to find her.
或許就在今天,我的天使把一件沒有價格標(biāo)簽的商品拿到收銀臺。我在天使身后排隊,看著身心疲憊的人們忙忙碌碌地過日子,慶幸自己得到了這樣的額外時間,讓我可以和面前的倩影閑聊一會兒,否則我也許會錯過,但只因為一句“請到5號收銀臺付款”,我就能找到她。
Thank you for the sun, which began my new day. Thank you for granting me the faith when Iarose this morning that I would find her in this new day. But most of all, thank you for me nothaving to ever wait on another sunrise because whenever I want to see it, I will look at her andthere it shall always be, in her eyes; she will forever hold it for me.
感謝太陽,它是新一天的開始。感謝你讓我今早一起床就滿懷信心,知道自己能在這新的一天找到她。但最要感謝的是我不必再等下一個日出,因為無論我想何時看到它,我都可以看向她,它總會出現(xiàn)在她的雙眸里;她永遠(yuǎn)為我留著。
