四級英語晨讀美文：匆匆

　　I don't know how many days I have been given to spend,but I do feel my hands are getting empty.Taking stock silentiy,I find that more than eight thousand days have already slid away from me.Like a drop of water from the point of a needle disappearing into the ocean, my days are dripping into the stream of time,soundless,traceless.Already sweat is starting on my forehead,and tears welling up in my eyes.

　　我不知道他們給了我多少日子，但我的手確乎是漸漸空虛了。在默默里算著，八千多日子已經從我手中溜去;像針尖上一滴水滴消失在大海里，我的日子滴在時間的涓涓溪流里，無音無影。我不禁頭渾滓而淚清潛了。

　　Those that have gone have gone for good,those to come keep coming;yet in between,how swift is the shift,in such a rush?When I get up in the morning,the slanting sun marks its presence in my small room in two or three oblongs.The sun has feet,look,he is treading on,lightly and furtively;and I am caught,blankly,in his revolution.Thus-The day flows away through tm in two or three oblongs.The sun has feet,look,he is treading on,lightly and furtively;and I am caught,blankly,in his revolution.Thus-The day flows away through the sink whenI wash my hands,wears off in the bowl when Ieat my meal,and passes away through when Ieat my meal,and passes away before my day-dreaming gaze as reflect in slience.Ican feel his haste now,so Ireach out my hands to hold him back,but he keeps flowing past out my with holding hands.In the evening,as I lie in bed,he strides over my body,glides past my feet,in his agile way.The moment I open my eyes and meet the sun again,one whole I open my eyes and meet the sun again, one whole day has gone.I bury my face in my hands and heave a sigh.But the new day begins to flash padt in the sigh.

　　去的盡管去了，來的盡管來著，去來的中間，又怎樣地匆匆呢?早上我起來的時候，小屋里射進兩三方斜斜的太陽。太陽他有腳啊，輕輕悄悄地挪移了;我也茫茫然跟著旋轉。于是——洗手的時候，日子從水盆里過去;吃飯的時候，日子從飯碗里過去;默默時，便從凝然的雙眼前過去。我覺察他去的匆匆了。伸出手遮挽時，他又從遮挽著的手邊過去，天黑時，我躺在床上，他便伶伶俐俐地從我身邊跨過。從我腳邊飛去了。等我睜開眼和太陽再見，這算又溜走了一日。我掩著面嘆息。但是新來的日子的影兒又開始在嘆息里閃過了。

　　What can I do,in this bustling world,with my days flying in their escape?Nothing but to hesitate,to rush.What have I been doing in that eight-thousand-day rush,apart from hesitating?Those bygone days have been dispersed as smoke by a light wind,or evaporated as mist by the morning sun.What traces have I left behind me?Have I ever left behind any gossamer traces at all?I have come to the world,stark naked.Am I to go back,in a blink,inthe same stark nakedness?It is not fair though:why should I have made such a trip for nothing!

　　在逃去如飛的日子里，在千門萬戶的世界里的我能做些什么呢?只有徘徊罷了，只有匆匆罷了;在八千多日的匆匆里。除徘徊外又剩些什么呢?過去的日子如輕煙。被微風吹散了，如薄霧，被初陽蒸融了;我留著些什么痕跡呢?我何曾留著像游絲樣的痕跡呢?我赤裸裸來到這世界，轉眼間也將赤裸裸地回去罷?但不能平的，為什么偏要白白走這一遭啊!

　　You the wise,tell me, why should our days leave us,never to return?

　　你聰明的，告訴我，我們的日子為什么一去不復返呢?

　　四級英語晨讀美文精選：快樂是一種行程

　　No young man believes he shall ever die. It was a saying of my brother's, and a fine one. There is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods. One half of time indeed is flown the other half remains in store for us with all its countless treasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. We make the coming age our own---the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.

　　沒有哪個年輕人相信他會死去。這是我哥哥的話，的確不錯。青春有一種永生之感—它能彌補一切。人在青年時代好像一尊永生的神明。誠然，生命的一半已經消逝，但蘊藏著不盡財富的另一半還在為我們保留，它沒有一個既定的終點線，我們對它也抱著無窮的希望和幻想。未來的時代完全屬于我們—無限遼闊的遠景在我們面前展現。

　　And say no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advanced; so in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations, nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. We have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on forever. We look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseless progress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it.

　　此時，但覺好風光應接不暇，而且，前程更有美不勝收的新鮮景致。在這生活的開端，我們聽任自己的志趣馳騁，放手給它們一切滿足的機會。到此為止，我們還沒有碰上過什么障礙，也沒有感覺到什么疲憊，因此覺得還可以一直這樣向前走去。直到永遠。我們看到四周一片新天地—生機盎然，動力十足。日新月異;我們覺得自己活力充盈，精神飽滿，可與宇宙并駕齊驅。

　　People all have there own youth. Youth is the most beautiful, splendid stage in one's life. After experiencing the sour, sweet, painstaking, and spicy feeling of youth, we can then become great. Youth likes the bunch of flower, incomparable in opening time, but horrible to look at when it withers. In youth, we are full of passion. Once youth passed, we will lose vigor! We must cherish youth and realize our dreams!

　　每個人都有屬于自己的青春，人生中青春是最最美好，最最精彩的階段。經歷了青春的酸，甜，苦，辣，你才會成長為一個偉人。青春短暫。會從你手邊輕輕流走，把握好青春，意味著充實的人生就在不遠的前方等著你!青春就像這束鮮花!開放的時候絢麗無比!可枯萎的時候便不堪入目!在青春的季節。我們充滿激情;可青春一旦逝去，我們將失去活力!我們要珍惜青春，在青年時代成就自己的抱負。
