經(jīng)典英語(yǔ)美文欣賞：如果再回到童年
If I were a boy again,I would practise perseverance more often,and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient.If we want light,we must conquer darkness.Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results.“There are only two creatures,”says a proverb;“who can surmount the pyramids-the eagle and the snail.”
諺語(yǔ)說(shuō)：“能登上金字塔的生物只有兩種——雄鷹與蝸牛。”如果我們需要光明,我們就得征服黑暗.在產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果方面,毅力往往可以與天才相媲美。假如我再回到童年,我會(huì)更多地培養(yǎng)自己的毅力,決不因?yàn)槭虑槠D難或麻煩而放棄不干
If I were a boy again,I would school myself into a habit of attention .I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand.I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.The habit of attention becomes part of our life,if we begin early enough.
假如我再回到童年，我會(huì)培養(yǎng)自己專(zhuān)心致志的習(xí)慣;一旦手頭有事，決不讓任何東西使我分心。我會(huì)牢記：一位優(yōu)秀的溜冰手從不試圖同時(shí)滑向兩個(gè)不同的方向。如果及早養(yǎng)成專(zhuān)心致志的習(xí)慣，它就會(huì)成為我們生命的一個(gè)部分。
I often hear grown-up people say,“I could not fix my attention on the lecture or book,although I wished to do so,”and the reason is,the habit was not formed in youth.
我常常聽(tīng)到成年認(rèn)說(shuō)：“盡管我希望集中注意力聽(tīng)講課或讀書(shū)，但往往做不到。”其愿意就在于年輕時(shí)沒(méi)有養(yǎng)成這種習(xí)慣。
If I were to live my life over again,I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory.I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and,on every possible occasion.It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately;but memory soon helps itself,and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.
假如我能重新活過(guò)，我會(huì)更加注意培養(yǎng)自己的記憶力。我要采取一切可能的辦法，在一切可能的場(chǎng)合,增強(qiáng)記憶力。要精確地記住一切事物，起初的確要作出一番小小的努力;但用不了多久，記憶力本身就會(huì)起作用，使記憶成為輕而易舉的事。只需及早培養(yǎng)，記憶自會(huì)成為一種才能。
If I were a boy again, I would cultivate courage. "Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice," says a wise author.We too often borrow trouble, and anticipate that may never appear.The fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear.Dangers will arise in any career, but presence of mind will often conquer the worst of them.Be prepared for any fate, and there is no harm to be feared.
假如我又回到了童年，我就要培養(yǎng)勇氣。"世上沒(méi)有東西比勇氣更溫文爾雅，也沒(méi)有東西比懦怯更殘酷無(wú)情。"一位明智的作家曾說(shuō)過(guò)我們常常過(guò)多地自尋煩惱，"杞人憂(yōu)天。" 怕禍害比禍害本身更可怕,凡事都有危險(xiǎn)，但鎮(zhèn)定沉著往往能克服最嚴(yán)重的危險(xiǎn)。對(duì)一切禍福做好準(zhǔn)備，那么就沒(méi)有什么災(zāi)難可以害怕的了。
If I were a boy again,I would look on the cheerful side.Life is very much like a mirror:if you smile upon it,it smiles back upon you;but if you frown and look doubtful on it,you will get a similar look in return.Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner,but of all that come in contact with it.
假如我能再回到童年，我會(huì)凡事都看光明的一面。生活就像一面鏡子：你朝它微笑，它也會(huì)朝你微笑：但如果你朝它皺眉頭，它也會(huì)朝你皺眉頭;內(nèi)心的陽(yáng)光不僅溫暖了自己的心，同時(shí)也溫暖了所有跟他接觸的人的心。
Who shuts love out,in turn shall be shut from love.
“誰(shuí)將愛(ài)拒之門(mén)外，誰(shuí)就會(huì)被愛(ài)拒之門(mén)外。”
If I were a boy again,I would school myself to say “No”oftener.I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect,and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy.
假如我再回到童年，我就要養(yǎng)成經(jīng)常說(shuō)“不”的習(xí)慣。 我可以寫(xiě)上好幾頁(yè)，談?wù)勗缙谂囵B(yǎng)這一點(diǎn)的重要性,一個(gè)少年要能挺得起腰桿,拒絕做不值得做得事——就因?yàn)樗恢档米觥?/p>
If I were a boy again,I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends,and indeed towards strangers as well.The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long,and make that season of ice and snow more endurable.Finally,instead of trying hard to be happy,as if that were the sole purpose of life,I would,if I were a boy again,try still harder to make others happy.
假如我再回到童年，我會(huì)要求自己對(duì)待同伴和朋友更禮貌，而且對(duì)陌生人也同樣如此。再坎坷得人生道路上，最細(xì)小的禮貌猶如在漫長(zhǎng)的冬季為我們唱歌的小鳥(niǎo)，使得冰天雪地的嚴(yán)冬變得較易忍受。最后，假如我再回到童年，我不會(huì)竭力為自己謀幸福——仿佛那是人生的唯一目標(biāo);與之相反，我會(huì)更加努力——讓他人幸福。

You weren't allowed to choose your own clothes: You become codependent.
如果你不能自由的選擇自己的衣服，你將成為一個(gè)依賴(lài)別人的人。

如果你有控制欲很強(qiáng)的父母，你將成為一個(gè)固執(zhí)的人。

如果你經(jīng)常做一些模仿的游戲，你將更容易接納其他文化。

如果你被打，你將成為一個(gè)鬼鬼祟祟的人。

Sugar Figure
糖人
Narrator:In the olden times, you could always find peddlers making sugar figures at the school gate. First, the maker takes a little maltose with a small spoon, and then shapes the soft maltose by hand, blowing gently, using his hands to form a figure, such as Sun Wukong, White Dragonet, and so on. The sugar figure is not only tasty, but also makes one cool. If one child bought a sugar figure, all his/her peers would crowd around and admire it.
講述人：學(xué)校門(mén)口常常有小販在做，手里一個(gè)勺子，盛著糖漿隨便勾畫(huà)幾下，各種各樣的東西就出現(xiàn)了，什么孫悟空啦，小白龍啦，好吃又拉風(fēng) ，手里拿一串，看的身邊的小伙伴那個(gè)眼饞啊!
Dada Bubble Gum
大大泡泡糖
Narrator:Almost every kid is fond of chewing bubble gum. They also gather together to see who gets the largest bubble. I still remember that my cousin once blew a big bubble and the bubble burst, covering her face with gum!
講述人：幾乎是每個(gè)人嘴里嚼一塊，大家互相比，誰(shuí)吹的泡泡更大，^_^!記得表姐小時(shí)候有一次吹個(gè)大泡泡，結(jié)果泡泡破了，整個(gè)都糊在臉上了。
Baby Face Ice Cream
娃娃臉雪糕
Narrator:We prefer to call it snowman ice cream. It has a milk chocolate flavor and tastes very delicious. It was rather expensive; I remember the price was 1.5 Yuan per piece, which was not easy to afford in those days.
講述人：當(dāng)然我們還是喜歡叫它“雪人兒”，奶油巧克力味，比較貴，我記得是1.5元左右一根，還真不是隨便吃得起的，不過(guò)味道實(shí)在沒(méi)的說(shuō)!
Malt Sugar Candy
麥芽糖
Narrator:Malt sugar candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China, and is offered during a few days before the Spring Festival. It’s cheap and you can get several pieces for a few cents. It’s very sticky and delicious!
