學(xué)習(xí)英語可以是一個(gè)枯燥的過程，也可以是一個(gè)有趣的過程。小編在此獻(xiàn)上經(jīng)典英語美文，希望對(duì)大家喜歡。

　　英語美文：當(dāng)愛向你們揮手

　　When love beckons you, follow him, though his ways are hard and stccp. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

　　當(dāng)愛揮手召喚你們時(shí)，跟隨著它，盡管它的道路艱難而險(xiǎn)峻。當(dāng)它展翼擁抱你們時(shí)，依順著它，盡管它羽翼中的利刃會(huì)傷害你們。當(dāng)它對(duì)你們說話時(shí)，要相信它，盡管它的聲音會(huì)擊碎你的夢(mèng)，像狂風(fēng)盡掃園中的花。

　　For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your most tender branches that quiver in the sun,so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

　　愛雖可為你們加冕，也能將你們釘上十字架。它雖可助你們成長(zhǎng)，也能將你們削砍剪劉。它會(huì)攀至你們的高處，輕撫你們陽光下顫動(dòng)的最柔嫩的枝條，它也會(huì)降至你們的根底，動(dòng)搖你們緊緊依附著大地的根須。

　　All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart and in that knowledge become a fragment of life's heart.But if,in your fear,you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,then it is better for you that you cover your nakeness and pass out of love's threshing-floor. into the season less world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep. but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from pssesse, not nor would it be possessed. for love is sufficient into love.

　　這一切都是愛為你們所做的，使你們或許能從中領(lǐng)悟自己心中的秘密，從而成為生命之心的一小部分。但是如果你們出于畏懼只去尋求愛的和美與愛的歡樂，那你們最好掩起自己的赤裸，離開愛的打谷場(chǎng)，踏人那沒有季節(jié)的世界，在那里，你會(huì)開懷，但不是盡情歡笑;你會(huì)哭泣，但不是盡為淚水。愛除了自身別無所求，除了自身別無所取二愛不占有，也不被占有，因?yàn)閻塾辛俗约壕妥銐蛄?

　　Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and have desires, don't let these be your desires:

　　愛別無他求，只求成全自己。但如果你愛了，又有所渴求，就別讓這些成你的所求吧:

　　To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night

　　融化為一道奔流的溪水，在夜晚吟唱自己的清曲。

　　To know the pain of too much tenderness.

　　體會(huì)太多溫柔帶來的痛苦。

　　To be wounded by your own understanding of love

　　被自己對(duì)愛的體會(huì)所傷害。

　　And to bleed willingly andjoyfully.

　　To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

　　清晨，帶著一顆生翼的心醒來，感謝又一個(gè)充滿愛的日子;

　　To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;

　　午休，沉思愛的心醉神怡;

　　To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart.

　　黃昏，帶著感激歸家;睡前，為你心中的摯愛祈禱。

　　When the waitress served them the coffee, he asked her to bring him some salt, telling the waitress that he had the habit of putting salt in the coffee. Stunned by his queer action, everyone in the cafe, including her, focused their eyes on him, which made him turn red. Soon the waitress gave him the salt, and he put in the salt and took sips. Her curiosity aroused, she asked, "How come such a habit?" He hesitated for a while before replying in a word-after-word way, "When I was a little kid, we lived by the seashore and I used to indulge myself in the sea. Every time there came the ocean wave, the sea water would found its way into my mouth, which was bitter and salty. I have been away from my family for a long time and I am missing it, and coffee with salt can remind me of the taste of the seawater and bring me closer to my hometown.

　　但是當(dāng)小姐把咖啡端上來的時(shí)候，他卻突然說:“麻煩你拿點(diǎn)鹽過來，我喝咖啡習(xí)慣放點(diǎn)鹽”，當(dāng)時(shí)，她都愣了，小姐也愣了，大家的目光都集中到了他身上，以至于他的臉都紅了。小姐把鹽拿過來了，他放了點(diǎn)進(jìn)去，慢慢地喝著。她是好奇心很重的女子，于是很好奇地問他:“你為什么要加鹽呢?”，他沉默了一會(huì)，很慢的幾乎是一字一頓地說:“小時(shí)候，我家住在海邊，我老是在海里泡著，海浪打過來，海水涌進(jìn)嘴里，又苦又咸。我已經(jīng)很久沒回家了，非常想家，咖啡里加鹽，就算是想家的一種表現(xiàn)吧，以把距離拉近一點(diǎn)。”

　　再后來，就像童話書里所寫的一樣，“王子和公主結(jié)婚了，從此過著幸福的生活。”他們確實(shí)過得很幸福，而且一過就是40多年，直到他前不久得病去世故事似乎要結(jié)束了，如果沒有那封信的話。

　　As all the fairy tales go, the princess and the prince get married and lead a happy life ever since. And the story would have ended with the husband passing away after 40 years of happy life, nothing special if it were not for the letter the husband left for her.

　　The letter was written before his death, "My dearest, please forgive me for my cheating you all the time. Do you still remember our first date in the cafe? You know, the atmosphere was not very pleasant, and I was feeling terrible and nervous. I meant to ask the waitress to bring me the sugar, which came out to be the salt. I actually didn't go for the salt, but I had to go on with the mistake, which sparked your curiosity. I had no other choice but to make up the story I told you, which 1 had no idea would made me drink coffee with salt for the rest of my life. I didn't yield to my impulse to tell you the truth several times, because I didn't want to get you upset, I was even more afraid of you leaving me for that. I am relieved now, for I'm dying, and people all forgive the dying, right? I have been endowed with the greatest happiness in the world for marring you, and if I had a second life, I would choose you to be my wife again. There is only one thing I want to make sure, that is, I would never drink coffee with salt anymore, you never know how bitter it is!"

　　信的內(nèi)容讓她吃驚，同時(shí)有一種被騙的感覺。然而，他不知道，她多想告訴他:“她是多么高興，自己心愛的人，為了她，能夠作出這樣的一生一世的欺騙……”
