Along tine ago,there was a apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday.He climed to the tree top,ate the apples,and took a nap under the shadow.He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

很久以前有一棵巨大的苹果树.一个小男孩每天都喜欢来到树旁玩耍.他爬到树顶,吃苹果,在树荫里打盹.他爱这棵树,树也爱和他一起玩.
随着时间的流逝,小男孩长大了.他不再到树旁王耍了.
一天,男孩会到树旁,看起来很悲伤. ―来和我一起玩吧!‖树对男孩说.
―我不再是小孩了,我不会再到树下玩耍了.‖男孩答道,‖我想要玩具,我需要钱来买.‖―很遗憾,我没有钱,但你可以采摘我所有的苹果拿去卖.这样你就有钱了.‖奥男孩很兴奋.她摘掉树上所有的苹果,然后高兴地离开了.兹从那以后男孩没有回来.树很伤心.
一天,男孩回来了,树非常兴奋.‖来和我玩吧.‖树说. ―我没有时间玩,我得为我的家庭工作.我们需要一个房子来遮挡风雨,你能帮我吗?‖―很遗憾,我没有房子.但是,你可以卡下我的数值来建房子.‖因此,男孩坎下所有的树枝,搞高高兴兴地离开了.
看到他很高兴树也很高兴.但是,自从那时起男孩没再出现,树又孤独,伤心起来.
突然,有一个夏日,男孩回到树旁,树很高兴.‖来和我玩吧!‖树说.
―我很伤心,我开始老了.我想去航海放松我自己.你能不能给我一条船?‖―用我的树干去造一条船,你就能航海了,那样你就会高兴的.‖于是<男孩看到树干去造船.它航海去了,很长一段时间没露面.

这是一个发生在每个人身上的真实故事,那棵树就像我们的父母.我们小的时候,喜欢和爸爸妈妈一起玩.长大后,便离开他们,只有在我们需要父母亲,或是遇到了困难的时候,才会回去找他们.尽管如此,抚摸总是有求必应,为了我们我们的幸福,无私的奉献自己的一切.你也许觉得那个男孩对树很残忍,但我们对待自己的父母,又何尝不是这样呢?
告别过去（Don’t Look Back）
As you travel through life there are always those times when decision just have to be made when the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce and the rain seems to soak your parade! There are some situationswhere you can do is to simply let go and move on ,to gather courage together and choose a direction that carries you toward a new dawn.
So pack up your troubles and take a step forward ....The process of change can be tough,but think about all the excitement ahead if you can be stalwart enough!
There could be adventures you never imagined just waiting around the nest bend and wishes and dreams just about to come true in wys you can’t yet comprehend!
Perphers you’ll find friendships that sping from new interests as you challange your status and learn there are somany options in life ,and so many ways you can grow!
Perhaps you’ll go to places you’ve never expected and see things that you’ve never seen or travel to fabulous,faraway worlds and wonderful spots in between!
Perhaps you’ll find waeth and afection and caring –a ―somebodyspecial‖ who’s there to help you stay centered and listen with interest to stories and feelings you share .
Perhaps you’ll find comfort in knowing your friends are supportive of all that you do and believe that whatever decisions you make ,they’ll be the right choices for you !
So keep putting one foot in front of the other and taking your life day by day .there’s a brighter tomorrow that’s just down the road ,Don’t look back-you’re not going that way!
人生旅途中,你常常面临在艰难中作出抉择的时刻,这时的解决方法似乎少之又少,而你则象在行走中被雨水浇透!
有些情况下,你能做的只有放弃,然后鼓起勇气重新上路,并选定一个能给你新开始的方向. 那么就结束你所有的烦恼吧,向前迈步...改变的过程充满艰辛,但你不妨这样想,如果足够坚定,前方就会有很多精细等着你.
在下一个拐弯处,也许会有你不曾想到过的艰辛在等着你去体验,希望和梦想会以各种你无法理解的方式变成现实.
当你向自身现状一挑战时,也许会在新的兴趣中发现由此触发的友谊,你会明白生活中存在着许多选择,你的成长道路也会如此多样化.
也许你会到那些从未想过要去的地方走走,亲眼看看那些从未见过的事物,或者去遥远而神奇的王国旅行,饱览沿途美景.
也许你将体会到温暖.爱意和关怀—某个―特别的人‖将在那里帮助你保持心无旁骛的状态,饶有兴趣的倾听并分享你的故事和感受,
也许当你知道朋友们支持你所做的一切时,你将感到欣慰;他们相信,无论你得决定如何,他们都是正确的选择!
既然如此,那就一步步走下去吧,认真过好每一天.前方会有一个更加美好的未来.告别过去—因为那不是你要走的路.

Amost curious and useful thing to realize is that one never knows the impression he is
creating on other people .one may ofter guess pretty accuratrly whether it is good,,bad ,or indifferent –some people render it unecessaryfor pone to guess ,they pracyicially inform one –but that is not what I mean .I mean much more than that ,I mean that one has one’s self no mental picture corresponding to the mental picture which one’s personality leaves in the minds of one’s friends .Has it ever struck you that there is a mysterious individual going around ,walking the streets,calling at house for tea ,chating ,laughing,grunbling,arguing ,ang that all yor friends know him-without saying more than a chance ,cautious word to you ;and that persion is you?supposing that you come into a drawing-room when you were having tea ,do you think you would recognize yourself as an individuality ? I think not .you would be apt to say to yourself as guess do when disturbed in drawing-rooms by other guests ―who’s this chap ?semms rather queer .I hope he won’t be a bore.And your first telling would be slightlyhostile.why,even when you meet youself in an unsuspected mirror in the very clothes that you have put on that very day and that you know by heart,you’re almost always shocked by zhe realization that you are you.And now and then,when you have gone to the glass to arrange your hairin the full sobriety of early morning have you not looked on an absolute stranger ,and has not that stranger piqued your curriosity?And if it is thus with precise external details of form,color,and movement,what may it not be wiith the vague complex effect of the mental and moral individuality?
A man hoestly tries to make a good impression.What is the result ?The result merely is that his friends,in the privacy of their minds,set him down as a man who tries to make a good impression.if much depends on the result of a single interview ,or a couple of interviews,a man may conceivably force another to accept an impression of himself which he would like to convey.But if the receiver of the impression is to have time at his disposal,then the giver of the impression may just as well sit down and put his hands in his pockets,for nothing that he can do will modify or influence in anyway theimpression that he will ultimately give .The real impression is ,in the end ,given unconsciously, not consiciously.It depends partly on both persons .And it is immutably fixed before hand.There can be no final deception.
一个人永远不知道他给别人留下设么样的印象，明白这一点是有益的，也是让人奇怪的。你通常都能猜出这种印象是好的、坏的，还是不好不坏的，因为有些人根本不用你去猜，他们几乎直接告诉你了。但那不是我要说的，我要说的不只这些。我要说的是，一个人从来无法使他对自己的认识与他给别人脑子里留有的印象相一致。你是否想过：有个神秘的人，到处闲逛，走在大街上，去茶馆喝茶，和人聊天，谈笑风生，发牢骚，与人争辩，与所有的朋友都认识，都与他很熟，但除了一两次谨慎的只言片语外，他们从未对你提过它；而这个人就是你。这样古怪的想法你是否也曾有过？假如你走进一个客厅，发现另外一个“你”正在里面喝茶，你会认出那个人是“你”吗？我想不会。你或许像客厅里被打扰的客人一样，在心里自问自答；“这个家伙是谁？听古怪的，希望他不要讨人嫌。”你的第一反应可能会带点敌意。甚至在某一天当你在一面不经意遇到的镜子里看到有个人传者和你穿着一模一样的的衣服时，你几乎因为突然认出那个人就是你而感到震惊，为什么？偶尔，在清晨很清醒的时候，你到镜子前梳头，你是否也曾觉得自己是在看一个完全陌生的人，而且对他和很好奇呢？如果说诸如形象、颜色、动作、这些精确的外观细节都会让你感到这样，那像精神、道德这样模糊的、复杂的个性特征又会造成什么影响呢？
一个人极力试图给别人留下好印象，结果如何呢？结果仅仅是，他的朋友们在内心里会把它看作是一个奴隶给别人留下好印象的人罢了。如果仅仅是一次或几次会面，一个人也许可以使别人信服的接受他所期望展现出来的印象，可是如果接受者可以自信感派如何来认识这个人的话，那么印象制造者最好还是坐下来，什么事情都不做，因为他无论如何都
俄法改变或影响他最终给别人的印象。真实的印象，最终不是刻意地而是无意地留下的。此外，他也不是刻意地而是无意地被接受的，它取决于双方，而且是事先就已经确定的，是没办法欺骗到底的。
彻悟自我（Get Through Understand Of Onself）
In all one’s lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.But it is precisely onself that one has the least understanding of. When you are goning upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself .When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate youself .It’
s likely that you think it wise for yourself to know your place and stay aloof from wordly wearing
a mask of cowardice,behind which the flow of sap in your life will be retarded.
To get a through understanging of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a soberrealist- Aware of both one’s strength and shortage.You may look forward hopefully to the future but be su-re not to expect too much ,for ideals can never be fully realized.You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to dircct your efforts.
To get a through understanding of oneself needs self-appreciation. Whether you liken yourself to a towering tree or a blade of glass,whether you think you are a high mountain or a small tone, you represent a state of nature that has its own reason of existence.If earnestly admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self –apprexiation ,which will give you confidence.As soon as you gain full confidence in yourself you’ll be enable to fight and overcome any adversity.
To get a through understanding of onself also require doing onself a favor by giving vent to in a quiet place so that you won’t be huet by its flames:in time of sadness,do yourself a favor by geting a good sleep or taking some tonic . Show yourself loving concern about your health and saily life . Unless you know perfectly well when and how to do yourself a favour ,you won’tbe confident and ready enough to tesist the attrack of illness.
To get a through understanding of onself is to get a full control of one’s life Then one will find one’s life full of color and flavor.
人生在世和自己相处最多，打交道最多，但是人最不了解的也恰恰是自己一帆风顺时，
往往高估自己；不得志时，有往往低估自己。你可能认为安分守己、与世无争是明智之举，而实际上往往被怯懦的面具窒息了自己鲜活的生命。
彻悟自己，就是正确的认识自己。做一个冷静的现实主义者，既然知道自己的优势，也
知道自己的不足。我们可以憧憬人身，但不要期望过高。因为在现实中，理想的事先总是
会打折扣的。你可以勇敢的迎接挑战，但是不许清初自己努力的方向。
要车於自己就要欣赏自己。无论你是一棵参天大树，还是一颗无名小草。无论想要成为
一座高山还是一块石头，你都是一种天然，有自己存在的理由。只要你认真的欣赏你自己，你会拥有一个真正的自我，你才会拥有信心，一旦拥有了信心你就能战胜任何灾难。
要彻悟自己，就要善待自己。在气氛是善待自己，找个僻静之处宣泄一下，不要被那些
无名之火烧身；忧伤时，要善待自己，找个好友倾诉一番，让低落的情绪高涨起来；劳累时，你要善待自己，睡个好觉或者吃点滋补品。对自己的健康和生活关心备至。唯有知道
如何善待自己，你才会信心百倍，从容不迫的应对疾病的侵袭。
彻悟自己，你才能把握自己的生命，你的生活才会丰富多彩、有滋有味。
英语美文(带翻译)
Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity 在困境中寻找成功的希望 1．There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I cannot perfect myself without hardship. 2．Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do, gathers so richly about my soul as when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will always inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment might present… to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into a fragrant garden of flowers. 3．Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity. 1．逆境是一所最好的学校每一次打击、每一次损失。都蕴含着成功的萌芽。都教会我在下一次有更出色的表现。我再也不会逃避现实，也不会拒绝从以往的错误中获取经验，我不再因此促成自己的失败。因为我我知道，宝玉不经磨砺就不能发光，没有磨练，我也不完善自我。 2．现在我知道，灵魂倍受煎熬的时刻，也正是生命中最多选择与机会的时刻。任何事情的成败取决于我在寻求帮助时是抬起头还是低下头。无论何时，当我被可怕的失败击倒，在最初的阵痛过去之后，我都要想方设法将苦难变成好事。伟大的机遇就在这一刻闪现——这苦涩的根本必将迎来满园芬芳！ 3．我将一直在困境中寻找成功希望。 Hold Fast to Dreams 紧紧抓住梦想 1．We all have dreams. We all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special way, and that we can make the world a better place. 2．At one time in our lives, we all had a vision for the quality of life that we desire and deserve. Yet, for many of us, those dreams have become so shrouded in the frustrations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make an effort to accomplish them. For far too many, the dream has dissipated and with it, so has the will to shape our destinies. Many have lost that sense of certainty that creates the winner’s edge.

Y ou'll find that the stress you feel will dissipate and your thoughts will become clearer. 当你感觉到紧张的压力，做一些有乐趣的事吧。你会发现压力在渐渐消逝，你的想法也渐渐明朗了。 When you're faced with so many negative and draining situations, realize how minuscule problems will seem when you view your life as a whole--and remember the positive things. 当你面对重重困难的时候，要意识到相对于你的整个生命，这些难题其实是微不足道的－－铭记你生命中美好的东西。 Living life over If I had my life to live over……I would have talked less and listened more. 假如我能重新生活,我会说得更少，听得更多 I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded. 我会邀请朋友来吃饭，即使地毯变脏,沙发褪色。

Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you’ve read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o’clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won’t need to live in fear of it. 我们的勇气并不是与生俱来的，我们的恐惧也不是。也许有些恐惧来自你的亲身经历，别人告诉你的故事，或你在报纸上读到的东西。有些恐惧可以理解，例如在凌晨两点独自走在城里不安全的地段。但是一旦你学会避免那种情况，你就不必生活在恐惧之中。 Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.
英语美文欣赏带翻译
Friends or 'Enemies?' When I was younger, my Dad used to tell me: "Boys don't want to be your friend." He then left the rest to my imagination. At the time, I didn't agree. I thought: I can crack a good joke, I know how to shoot a hoop, and I'm a cheerful person (but not in an annoying way). What kind of boy wouldn't want to be around that kind of girl? Turns out, my Dad was right. Not to be all "Samantha Brick" about it, but in my experience, single, heterosexual men aren't actively looking for an exclusively platonic relationship with a woman they find sexually attractive. This of course is not a revolutionary concept. In fact, it seems pretty natural to me. Now, I will be the first to say that it is really and truly the most wonderful thing in the world if the attraction is mutual. But the Powers That Be seem to like to play these complicated little mating games with humans where the guy we want to re-enact scenes from 9? Weeks with sees our attractiveness level as akin to that of a discarded dishcloth, and the most physical we could see ourselves being with the guy who actually likes us is a game of ping pong over an especially long table. All of which means that someone usually ends up getting rejected. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have struggled with the scenario where I am not interested in a man romantically, but I want to keep him as a friend because he is funny and I enjoy his company, or he has shown himself to be that rare specimen known as "a nice, genuine person, " or he simply doesn't mention his therapist in every other sentence. Rather than string him along and give him hope, I feel compelled to somehow communicate to him sooner rather than later that we'll just be staying friends, nothing more. Otherwise, I think I am being unfair to him. Why should he waste his romantic stamina on me when there are loads of other single women out there who might fall instantly in love with him? The thing is, it can sometimes be tricky to reject a man and keep him as a friend. If the operation is not executed carefully, you may end up creating a "menemy." It requires a certain amount of skill to be able to turn down a man's sexual advances or romantic gestures and then get him to agree to meet you for blueberry pancakes the following weekend and chat about the latest Woody Allen film. Some men aren't satisfied with just that. I'm not clear why. What's so bad about friendship? Everyone needs buddies. But I've seen men react poorly or simply fall off the face of the earth. I get it -- their feelings are hurt. None of us likes getting rejected. But in my experience, some men find it especially soul-crushing. I am only bringing all of this up because I recently had to go through this scenario again. I had spent some time cultivating a friendship with a man who, in my defense, I thought was gay. So I didn't see the harm in him buying me the occasional falafel, or accepting an invitation to see a film with him. Isn't that what friends are for? But a mutual friend shed light on his sexual orientation (straight) and suggested that his intentions -- and attentions -- weren't platonic. He had never "made the moves" but now it was all crystal clear -- that explains the way he had looked at me that time the tahini sauce dribbled down my chin! Since he had clearly been too timid to express his feelings, I thought I would be clever this time and subtly mention the dates I had been going on, focusing on the one guy I was kind of keen on, so that he would know that I was "unavailable" for heavy petting and those sorts of activities, but that I was available for things like roller skating, falafel-eating and shooting the breeze. Doesn't that sound nice? That way, he would known not to try to lean in for a kiss, and I wouldn't have to pull the Stevie Wonder dance and dodge him went he went for it. It was like pre-rejection, yet I was sparing his feelings because he didn't even have to put himself out there! I really thought I was being brilliant. It backfired, of course. Said man ended up sending me an email rant accusing me of being insensitive by talking about other men when he had "feelings for me." As if I am psychic, by the way, just because I am a woman! How was I supposed to know that? I think in his mind we were dating. In my mind, he was my new gay BFF. In the end, I got mad at him for getting mad at me, and now the friendship has ended. And I have created yet another "menemy." Look, I have also tried the direct thing: "I really like you, but only as a friend, " but you can only do that when the guy has made his intentions clear, and in my experience, they either cope okay (though rarely do I feel much enthusiasm for friendship after that), or they really don't cope well. I also tried the thing where you make them think they are rejecting you, but it gets quite confusing and only works if the guy isn't very sharp, and why would I -- or you -- be hanging out with someone not that sharp in the first place? As we all remember, Billy Crystal's character says men and women can't be friends in When Harry Met Sally because the sex stuff gets in the way. I do have single, male, heterosexual friends with whom I have an easy, non-romantic rapport, but I honestly don't know if they would walk away if I was sprawled naked on a bed calling out to them. I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but sometimes, I wonder if they wonder. And they may wonder if I wonder. If so, I hope they'll keep it to

And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand new sun. But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snicker will turn into a burst of laughter. 我按平时的规律吃晚餐、打扫屋子、写作——做着日常事务。然后我躺下，希望能快点入睡，新的一天就能快点到来——拥有新生太阳的崭新的一天。可当我躺在那儿，等待着世界的日夜回转时，我想到了她。有时我会笑起来，有时那微笑变成了窃笑，然后窃笑又常常变成爆笑。 And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep me company until my new day arrives. 也有些时候，我的喉咙像是被一块东西哽住了，胸口发闷;有时那种伤感席卷 而来，我开始流泪，眼泪常常越流越多，我再也无力抵抗悲伤，败下阵来。然后不知怎的，我在或喜悦或悲伤中飘荡，逐渐入眠。然后梦境开始伴我左右，直至新的一天到来。 When I awake it’s with such excitement because I tell m yself this could be the day that every other day has led up to and the first day of the rest of my life. I quickly don my smile because I do so want her to see me at my very best. Then I look out the window because, even though I know it’s dawn, I still have to confirm I’ve been given another chance to find her.

简单英语短文带翻译阅读 英语作为一门国际通用语,在21世纪已经向着多元化、多功能化的方向发展。小编整理了简单英语短文带翻译，欢迎阅读!简单英语短文带翻译篇一 What is the purpose of study, most students will tell you that they want to find their own value and survive in the society. Reading books will also help people gain knowledge and fulfill their value, but in my opinion, the value of reading books not only contains what has mentioned above, but also contains the happiness from the mind. When people read the good books, they will be immerged into the books and find themselves being part of the story. They can gain a lot from the books, learning how to face the problems or what kind of person they should be. Good books are like the teachers, they show people how to fulfill their value and lead people to the success. People should choose the good books to read, those books which are worthless should be neglected. The value of books is infinite. 学习的目的是什么，大部分学生会告诉你他们想要找到自己的价值，在这社会上生存。读书也能帮助人们收获知识和实现他们的价值，但是在我看来，读书的价值不仅仅包含了前面提到的，也包含了收获思想上的愉悦。当人们读到好书时，他们会沉浸在书中，发现自己成为书中的一部分。他们也能从书本学到很多，学着如何面对问题，或者他们应该成为怎样的人。好的书就像老师，展示人们如何实现他们的价值，引导人们走向成功。人们选择好的书来读，那些没有价值的书尽量少读。书本的价值是无穷的。简单英语短文带翻译篇二被忽略的东西The Things Are Neglected In our life, we will be nice to other people, while when facing our parents, we are impatient and even argue with them. People always think their parents don’t understand them and refuse to talk to them, they show the worse temper in the ones who love them and will never leave them, but they show their kindest fact to the strangers. It is a sad thing, the reason that people show their badness to the dearest lies in that people just get used to the presentation of their relatives, they know in their hearts that their parents won’t leave them, no matter what they do. Our relatives will never leave us, they take care us all the time, they are the dearest persons in the world. People neglect it, so we should be nice to our parents, love them and communicate with them. 在我们的生活中，我们会对别人很友好，然而在面对我们的父母时，我们会没有耐心，甚至和他们争吵。人们总是认为他们的父母不理解他们，并且拒绝和父母交流，他们在爱他，并且不会离开他的人面前展现出最坏的脾气，他们却把最善意的脸留给了陌生人。这是多么可悲的事情啊，人们在最亲爱的人面前展示出自己不好的一面的原因在于他们已经习惯了亲人的存在，在他们内心深处，他们知道父母不会离开他们，无论他们做了什么。我们的亲人永远都不会离开我们，他们总是照顾着我们，他们是这个世界上最亲近的人。人们忽略了这一点，因此我们应该对父母友好点，爱护他们，并且和他们交流。简单英语短文带翻译篇三 In our parents’generation, there are less people have the eyesight problem, because the digital products were not so developed at that time, but nowadays, with the development of these products, more and more people have the problem of short eyesight. When I look around my classmates, I find only have few student don’t wear glass. People’s bad reading behavior makes their eyesight weaker, they can do the right things to correct it. First, we should not read in the dark situation. Many students like to read in the dark before they go to bed, it hurts the eye so much. Second, we should not stare at the book or the TV and computer in a long time, we need to take a rest every 40minutes, looking at the distance or the green color will ease our eyes. Eyes are
