美文品读

We’re Just Beginning
一切刚刚开始

      “We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”


I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.


 We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.


I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.

The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

      “我们正在读一本书的第一章第一行,这本书的页数是无限的……”

我不知道是谁写的,可我很喜欢这句话,它提醒我们未来是由自己创造的。我们可以把神秘、不可知的未来塑造成我们想象中的任何模样,犹如雕刻家将未成形的石头刻成雕像。

英语励志短文

      我们每个人都像是农夫。洒下良种将有丰收,播下劣种或生满野草便将毁去收成。没有耕耘则会一无所获。
      我希望未来比过去更加美好,希望未来不会沾染历史的错误与过失。我们都应举目向前,因我们的余生要用未来书写。

往昔已逝,静如止水;我们无法再作改变。而前方的未来正生机勃勃;我们所做的每一件事都将会影响着它。只要我们认识到这些,无论是在家中还是在工作上,每天我们的面前都会展现出新的天地。在人类致力开拓的每一片领域上,我们正站在进步的起跑点。



Book Review of 1984
《1984》书评(节选)
宁波华外高三(10)班 谢梓木

      If there’s going to be a book which can deeply depress you and awaken your mind, it will be 1984. As all of us have already known, this novel was to satirize Stalin and his political slaughter in the 1930s. Many of level military officers were killed and arrested, which directly led to enormous loss at the beginning of Anti-German War. 


1984 was an honest mirror, which helped us to get into those Khalifas’ hearts. I don’t want to draw your attention to a wrong area which misleads you and you will simply regard all the governors and the top administrators as living Khalifas. All of us can be the bloody and cruel lords without the efficient national legal security system, balance and control, frightening punishment and equal things. 

I remind me a famous Japanese anime called Evangelion, which told us an ambitious plan, which considered turning the human beings into the original states of live.However, what the director of the anime tried to discuss about was the higher and higher barriers among us. As the walls among us go higher and thicker, some of us will suffer from intolerable indifference, harmful prejudice and extreme isolation. 

They can push a sufferer down the cliff of hopelessness effortlessly. When the combination of such bad feelings reach its peak, no one can get to know what will happen ahead of time. When the sufferer starts to hold the power, maybe everything will end up in ruins.

如果有一本书能深深地压抑你,唤醒你的思想,它将是1984。众所周知,这部小说是讽刺斯大林及其30年代的政治屠杀,许多高级军官被杀、逮捕,直接导致了抗德战争初期的巨大损失。
      1984是一个诚实的镜子,它帮助我们进入了“哈利法斯”的心。我不想让你们以为所有的州长和高级行政长官都当成活生生的哈利法斯。如果没有有效的国家法律保障制度和平等的权利,我们所有人都可以是血腥和残忍的主人。
      我想起一部著名的日本动画片《福音》,它告诉我们一个雄心勃勃的计划,它考虑把人类变成原始的生活状态。随着我们之间的隔墙越来越厚,我们中的一些人将遭受难以忍受的冷漠、有害的偏见和极端的孤立。他们可以毫不费力地把病人推向绝望的悬崖。当这种不良情绪的组合达到顶峰时,没有人能知道未来会发生什么。当病人开始掌权时,也许一切都会变成废墟。



Jane Eyre

简•爱
宁波华外高三(9)班 戴晶玲
      The protagonist, Jane Eyre, as the author depicted, is very plain-looking. But almost every reader, including me, will prefer Jane to any other young lady in this novel. 


I think Jane Eyre possesses a kind heart, an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and a great courage. She loves Mr. Rochester even more after he loses his hand and sight in a fire. And more importantly, she never gives up her own independence or follows others blindly. Instead, Jane Eyre chooses to hold fast to her own beliefs and standards.

At first, Jane met her best friend, Helen, in Lowwood School. Though she was a close friend, Jane still could not agree with her totally about life and people. As Jane grew up, she decided to leave the school and worked as a family teacher, regardless of others’ opinions.
After knowing the secret that the insane woman was Mr. Rochester’s wife, Jane Eyre was not willing to lose her dignity or abandon her own desire. And she left resolutely and silently.Thanks to her brave and independent choices, Jane Eyre has definitely become one of the greatest women in my heart.

主人公,简,正如作者所描绘的,非常朴素。但是几乎每一位读者,包括我,都会喜欢简和这本小说中的其他年轻女士。
      我认为简有一颗善良的心,一种不屈不挠的精神,一种敏锐的机智和巨大的勇气。她爱上了罗切斯特先生,虽然他在火灾中失去了他的手和光明。更重要的是,她从不盲目跟随他人,她选择坚守自己的信仰和标准。
      起初,简在洛伍德学校遇到了她最好的朋友海伦。虽然她是一个亲密的朋友,但简仍然不能完全同意她对于人生的看法。随着简长大,她决定离开学校,做家庭教师,不顾别人的意见。
      在知道那个疯女人是罗切斯特先生的妻子的秘密后,简不愿失去尊严或放弃自己的初心,她毅然决然地离开了。由于她勇敢而独立的选择,简绝对成为了我心中最伟大的女性之一。
