篇一：勵志的英語短文章"I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled
in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped
their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. "I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him 'Have you got a light?' He looked at me, shrugged [3]and came over to light my cigarette. "As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
"I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension[4] too. 'Do you have kids?' he asked. " 'Yes, here, here.' I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. "Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.
"My life was saved by a smile." Yes, the smile?the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people.. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn't be enemies. We couldn't have hate or envy or fear.
翻譯：
“一想到自己明天就沒命了，不禁陷入極端的惶恐。我翻遍了口袋，終于找到一支沒被他們搜走的香煙，但我的手緊張得不停發抖，連將煙送進嘴里都成問題，而我的火柴也在搜身時被拿走了。 “我透過鐵欄望著外面的警衛，他并沒有注意到我在看他，我叫了他一聲：‘能跟你借個火嗎?’他轉頭望著我，聳了聳肩，然后走了過來，點燃我的香煙。 “當他幫我點火時，他的眼光無意中與我的相接觸，這時我突然沖著他微笑。我不知道自己為何有這般反應，也許是過于緊張，或者是當你如此靠近另一個人，你很難不對他微笑。不管是何理由，我對他笑了。就在這一剎那，這抹微笑如同火花般，打破了我們心靈間的隔閡。受到了我的感染，他的嘴角不自覺地也現出了笑容，雖然我知道他原無此意。他點完火后并沒立刻離開，兩眼盯著我瞧，臉上仍帶著微笑。
“我也以笑容回應，仿佛他是個朋友，而不是個守著我的警衛。他看著我的眼神也少了當初的那股兇氣，‘你有小孩嗎?’他開口問道。 “‘有，你看。’我拿出了皮夾，手忙腳亂地翻出了我的全家福照片。他也掏出了照片，并且開始講述他對家人的期望與計劃。這時我眼中充滿了淚水，我說我害怕再也見不到家人。我害怕沒機會看著孩子長大。他聽了也流下兩行眼淚。 “突然間，他二話不說地打開了牢門，悄悄地帶我從后面的小路逃離了監獄，出了小鎮，就在小鎮的邊上，他放了我，之后便轉身往回走，不曾留下一句話。
“一個微笑居然能救自己一條命。”“是的，微笑是人與人之間最自然真摯的溝通方式。如果我們能用心靈去認識彼此，世間不會有結怨成仇的憾事;恨意、妒嫉、恐懼也會不復存在。
篇二：勵志的英語短文章A Better Tomorrow
People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.
Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars?
We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.
From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.
The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.
In short, history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep us from repeating yesterday’s mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.
翻譯：一個更好的明天
人們常常心存疑慮,為什么歷史學家要費盡周折地保存數以萬計的書籍、文獻和記錄。
我們為什么要有圖書館呢?這些文獻和史書有何用處呢? 我們為什么要記載并保存人類的行為、政府官員的談判和戰爭中的事件呢?
我們這么做的原因在于有時候經驗之音能促使我們停步、觀察和傾聽。也因為有時候過去的記載經過正確地詮釋,能幫助我們決定何事可為、何事不可為。如果我們想要創造永久的和平,我們就必須從人類的經驗以及人類歷史的記載中去探索其淵源。
從體現男性和女性勇敢和奉獻精神的故事之中,我們獲得了青春的啟示。英語短文歷史記載著人類的一切苦難、克己、忠誠和英勇的事跡。這些記載在我們困惑和渴望和平時能對我們有所幫助。
歷史的主要目的是創造一個更加美好的世界。歷史對那些力主戰爭的人給以警告,給予那些尋求和平的人以啟示。
簡而言之,歷史幫助我們學習。昨日的記載可以使我們避免重蹈覆轍。這些歷史學家們創作的像馬賽克一樣色彩繽紛的歷史片斷匯聚成了代表人類進步的偉大壁畫。
篇三：勵志的英語短文章The Power of the Dream
When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.
At every turn we come across its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.
Believe in your faith. Set the vision before your eyes. Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. It may take one season or more, but the result is the same. Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities. The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible. For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.
Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.
Find your treasure within and cherish2 it. Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.
翻譯：夢想的力量
別人看你的眼睛時,他應當體會到你內心的活力。懷揣夢想就像是擁有一座引領你前行的燈塔。
每個轉折關頭,它給我們帶來奇跡。每個新的起點,我們脫胎換骨,煥然一新。孤獨中我們挺過失望的陰霾,發現我們的信念不曾動搖,我們的力量依然強大。
秉持信念,期盼未來。許下你最真誠的夢想,一旦機會來臨,就為之拼搏。也許要花一季甚或更多的時間,但結局不會改變。立大志,傾全力,成現實。前途未卜,唯有一步一個腳印,夢想者的至高希冀才會實現。我們必須珍存夢想,給它一季的保護,讓它在內心悄然生發。然而我們還得溫柔呵護我們內心至深的期許,慢慢地夢想必將成就新的生命。
夢想是實現信仰的第一步。你的期待熠熠光輝,它會驅逐不信的陰影。上帝賦予我們夢想的天資,去點亮不曾確信的世界。讓夢想的財富寄于心中,珍愛它,明天正等著你跨出第一步。
