英语模范短文背诵
1 WHY SHOULD WE LEARN ENGLISH 为什么我们要学英文
If you want to ask me why we should learn English, my answer will be simple and clear. Now let me enumerate the reasons one by one in the following.
    In the first place, English has become an international language. If you know English, you van make a trip round the world without being misunderstood.
    In the second place, most valuable books, newspapers and magazines are written in English. If you wish (hope) to get knowledge, you must learn English.
如果你要问我们为什么我们要学英文。我的答复很简单明了。现在让我来把我的理由一一列举在下面：
    英文已成为一种国际语言。如果你通晓它，你可以环游世界不会被人误解。
    大多数有价值的书籍，报纸和杂志都是用英文写的。如果你希望获得知识，你必须学习英文
2 WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成
The key to success is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.
    It is quite obvious that there is nothing difficult in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.
成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人，他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是一个失败者。
    很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。
3 TO RISE EARLY 论早起
I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late. They will never have the opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and calmness of the morning. This is indeed a quite regrettable thing.
    To rise early is a good habit which we should develop. Why? Because the best time when we can pursue our studies is in the morning. In addition, early rising is also good to our health. I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early.
我不知道某些人要晚起的理由。他们永不会有机会来享受早晨的新鲜空气和宁静。这真是一件 发令人遗憾的事情。
    早起是我们应该养成的一种良好习惯。为什么？因为早晨是我们从事学业的大好时间。再者，早起对我们健康也有益处。我希望每个人应该知道我们必须早起的理由。
4 WAR 战争
Though the people in the world are all opposed to war, they can by no means avoid it. This is indeed a regrettable thing.
    War is very terrible. Everybody hears it with fear. In a war thousands and thousands of lives will be lost and a large amount of money (will be) wasted. It brings us untold miseries and damage.
    To sum up, so long as war is unavoidable, human beings cannot enjoy lasting peace. How tragical their fate is!
虽然世界的人民都反对战争，但是他们却无法能够避免它。这确实是件非常令人遗憾的事情。战争是非常可怕的。每个人听到它都害怕。在一次战争中，成千成万的人丧失了生命，大量金钱浪费了。它带给我们无穷尽的痛苦和损失。
总而言之，只要战争不可避免，人类不可能享受持久的和平。他们的命运是多么悲惨呀！
5 TO BE PATIENT 要忍耐
When someone disagrees with you or offends you, don’t lose your temper . Why? Because it is of no use to do so. You ought to be patient and keep calm lest you should quarrel with him. You must know that patience is not cowardice, but a virtue. I hope that everybody practices it.
   In addition, patience will also bring us success. When you meet with difficulties in your work, it is no use losing heart. You must keep on fighting until the final victory belongs to you.
当有人和你意见不同或开罪你的时候，你切不可发脾气。为什么？因为这样做是无用的。你应当忍耐并且保持冷静，唯恐和他争吵。你必须知道忍耐不是弱而是一种美德。我希望人人都实行它。
    另外，忍耐也会带给我们成功。当你在工作中遭遇到困难的时候，灰心是无用的。你必须继续作战直到最后胜利属于你为止。
6 THE VALUE OF TIME 爱惜时光
An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it (this) wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway). For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money.
    Many people do not know the value of time. It (this) is indeed a great pity. We must bear (keep) in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.
英国有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱，但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵。
    许多人不知爱惜时光。这确实是可惜的。我们必须记住浪费时间等于浪费生命。
7 MY NATIVE TOWN 我的故乡
My native town is X. We have settled down here since my grandfather was a child. In other words, my family has lived here for more than one hundred years.
    It is a small village. There are about one thousand inhabitants. Most of them are farmers. The mode of their living is very simple. However, they have already possessed television sets and refrigerators. They made up their minds to live a modern life.
我的故乡是X。我们自从祖父是小孩时，就定居在此地。换句话说，我们家人在此地已经住了一百余年了。
    这个小村庄。居民大约有一千人。他们大部分是农夫。他们的生活方式很简单。然而，他们已拥有电视和冰箱。他们下定决心要过一个现代的生活。
8 THE CHINESE NEW YEAR 中国新年
I like the Chinese new year better than any other festival. This is a time especially for rest and joy. I need not study. I wear good clothes and eat good food. I have a good time from morning till night. To be frank with you, I am as happy as a king.
   The Chinese new year lasts as long as fifteen days. It gives us more pleasure than we have imagined. After that we have to resume our normal work.
9 我喜欢中国新年比喜欢其它任何节日更甚。这是一个专为休息和欢乐的时间。我不需要读书。我穿好衣服，吃好东西。我每天从早到晚日子过得轻松愉快。坦白地说，我和帝一样快乐。
    中国新年持续十五天之久，它给我们的欢乐比我们想像中的更多。之后，我们就得恢复我们正常的工作了。
10 MY FAVORITE PASTIME 我喜欢的消遣
It goes without saying that work without rest will do harm to health. In other words, we had better take sufficient recreation to relax after work.
   There is no doubt that there are a number of amusements, such as playing ball games, collecting stamps, fishing, gardening, skating and so on.
    As for me, I take great delight in gardening. Whenever I am at leisure, I am accustomed to growing flowers. I regard them as my most agreeable companion.
不需说，工作而不休息会对健康有害的。换句话说，我们最好工作后，从事分的消遣来轻松一下。无疑的，消遣的种类很多，诸如打球，集邮，钓鱼，园艺，溜冰等等。

11 THE BENEFITS OF TRAVELING 旅行的益处
I am always interested in traveling. My reasons are extremely simple and clear. If anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint, I shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.
   In the first place, traveling increases our knowledge. Only by traveling can we see things outside our home town.
   In the second place, traveling is good to our health. While we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.
   In conclusion, I earnestly hope that everybody must seize (grasp at) the opportunity of traveling.

    旅行增加我们的知识。只有藉旅行我们可以看到我们故乡以外的东西。
    旅行对我们的健康有益。当我们旅行的时候，我们通常运动我们的身体
12 MY AIM 我的志向
Whatever a man's status may be, he must have an aim. If not, he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world. That stands to reason.
    However important fame and wealth may be, we must not let them become our object in life. We should aim at doing something useful to the society.
    If my aim can come true, I hope to be a teacher. However, teaching is by no means an easy thing. I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties (as a teacher).
不论人是什么身份，他必须有一个志向。如果没有的话，他很难立足于世上。那是显而易见的。
    不论名利如何重要，我们切不可让它们成为我们生活之目标。我们应当志在做一些对社会有益的事情。
    如果我的志向能实现的话，我就希望成为一个老师。然而，教书并不是一容易的事情。我必须专心学业以便能应因我的职责。
13 HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日
  Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours (time) of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.
    We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books. In this way we will increase our knowledge. Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.
我们许多人终是把星期日毫无目的地消度掉。这确实是十分可惜。我们很少能从星期日的宝贵时光中获得益处。虽然星期日是被指定为一个休息的日子，但是我们却应好好利用它。
    我们知道我们学校的功课通常是不够的。我们应时常利用星期日来阅读参考书。如此我们的知识就会增加了。此外，我们必须从事运动或郊游以便强壮我们的身体。
14 MONEY 钱
Everybody wishes to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words, money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live without it. For this reason, we have an interesting proverb. It says “Money can make the world go around.” In a word, money is more powerful than anything else.
    However, money should not be wasted. It must be used for (some) proper purposes. We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the wrong way.
每个人为了能够维持生活，所以都希望得到钱。换句话说，钱是非常有用，所以没有它人类即无法生活。基于此种理由，我们有一句有趣的谚语。它说有“钱能使鬼推磨”。一言以蔽之，钱比任何另外的东西更有力量。
    然而，钱不应该被浪费掉。它必须用于正当的用途上。我们青年人应该养成不乱花钱的好习惯。
15 KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 知识就是力量
If we have no knowledge, we cannot succeed in doing any work. Why? Because knowledge is power. With knowledge we have conquered nature and invented steamers, trains and airplanes. We can send messages by telegram. We can talk with our friends by telephone.
   As is well known, we students are the future masters of the nation. She needs us very much. If we do not make efforts to acquire knowledge, how can we render service to her ?

18 INDUSTRY (DILIGENCE) 勤勉
It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.
    Idleness is the opposite of industry. It is the source of all evil. An idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures. That he is doomed to failure is of no doubt. We should not follow his example.　
勤勉会带给我们成功，财富和好运乃是当然之事。我确信一个苦干的人终是能够做成功他所要做的工作。这是不易之定理。

There is an English proverb which says (saying) “Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.
    What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.
    There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.
英国有一句谚语说“诚为上策”。它说明了诚的重要性。
    诚的益处是什么？如果你对他人诚实，他们也会对你诚实作为报答。当你忧悉的时候，他们会安慰你。当你是处在困难中的时候，他们会帮助你。
    无法在这里数述不诚实的害处。一言以蔽之，一个不诚实的人会被人看轻的而且被看作为一个公敌。
20 GOOD HEALTH 良好的健康
We all wish (hope) to be happy, so we should take good care of our health.
    Health is the best treasure (which) a man can possess. Money can do many things, but it cannot buy happiness. However, so long as man has good health, he can enjoy the pleasures of human life.
    In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things. They are - nourishing food, fresh air and proper exercise.
