优美的英语散文:朋友是生活最珍贵的馈赠
KA CLANG! KA CLANG! KA CLANG!
哐啷!哐啷!哐啷!
The old bell was ringing calling us to breakfast at the camp.
夏令营的营地里，一只老旧的摇铃响个不停，招呼我们该吃早饭了。
Several of us, however, weren't paying attention.
可是，我们中的好几个人根本不去理会。
It was the last day of camp and we were engaging in a tradition passed down for years.
这是夏令营的最后一天，我们正在举行一场数年来沿袭下来的传统仪式。
We were supposed to have stripped the sheets off of our beds in our cabins, stuff them into our pillow cases, and return them to the office before breakfast.
我们本应把宿舍里床上的床单扯下来，把他们塞进枕套里，在早餐之前把他们归还到办公室去。
Pillow cases filled with heavy sheets, though, were far better than pillows for an end of the week pillow fight.
可是，塞进厚床单的枕套比枕头要好得多，很适合来一场宿营最后一天的枕头大战。
A dozen or more of us then were going at it when the bell started to ring.
铃声响起的时候，包括我在内的十几个学员正在激烈对战。
We were knocking each other over the beds and swinging our loaded down pillow cases with all of our might.
我们把对方从床上打到地上去，用我们全身的力气挥舞着手中塞得满满的枕套。
A hit to the head stung like crazy but we didn't mind.
脑袋被砸得生疼，简直让人发疯，但我们毫不在意。
We were having a rough housing good time.
我们正在享受这番大闹宿舍的好时光。
Soon the pillow fight spilled out into the hallway of the second story of our cabin.
很快枕头大战的战场就扩散到了二楼大厅。
A friend of mine and I were getting the worst of it.
我和我的一个朋友打得最凶。
Several of the other boys had decided to gang up against us.
几个其他的男孩决定联合起来对付我们。
I swung at one of them and missed and then saw another pillow case coming straight at my head.
我朝他们中的一个发起攻击，没有打中，接着就看到一个枕套径直朝我的脑袋飞过来。
I ducked and it caught my friend full in the chest.
我躲开了，我的朋友却正好被砸中了胸口。
Unfortunately, he was standing at the edge of the narrow stairway that led to the second floor.
不幸的是，他正好站在通往二楼的狭窄楼梯的拐角处。
I looked around and saw that he was airborne, going backwards down the steps.
我转过头去，发现他四脚腾空，朝楼梯下面倒去。
He seemed about to crack his head wide open on the wooden steps when someone stripping their sheets on the first floor let their mattress fall on the bottom of the steps.
眼看他就要在木头阶梯上摔个脑袋开花，突然，一个正在一楼拆床单的人把床垫放在楼梯底部。
My friend landed on the mattress and rolled safely off of it.
我的朋友摔进了床垫里，打了个滚，安全无恙。
The pillow fight stopped cold as we all gazed in amazement.
我们目瞪口呆的看着这一切，枕头大战戛然而止。
"Whoa!," someone said. "What a lucky break!"
“哇!”有人叫到，“真是太走运啦!”
Looking back on that moment now I know that it wasn't just a lucky break.
现在再回想那个时刻，我知道这不单单是运气。
So many of us these days focus on the times when something bad happens to us.
如今我们中许多人只会去注意那些坏事情真的降临的时候。
We fail to see all of the times when something bad could have happened to us and miraculously didn't.
我们没有发现，那么多次，某件坏事本会发生，却奇迹般的没有发生。
I know that there are no coincidences in this life.
我知道生命中本没有纯粹的巧合。
We are all watched over. We are all guided. We are all loved.
我们都被他人照看着。我们都被保护着。我们都被爱着。
Use your "lucky breaks" here well then.
当你“走运”时，好好珍惜吧!
Don't waste a second of this precious time you are given.
生命给予我们的时间是珍贵的，不要浪费一分一秒!
Live! Learn! Love! This life here is gift to you. Make how you live it your gift to others.
认真生活，学习新知，关爱他人吧!让你认真生活的态度成为对他人的礼物!
优美的英语散文:我的生活，充满魔法
When I was younger I was entranced with stories of magic. I devoured books where wizards and warriors battled the powers of darkness in strange worlds. I rejoiced when they triumphed bringing peace and happiness to their lands. I guess like most of the readers of these stories I secretly wished for magical powers for myself. I wanted to be able to magically make my pain disappear, to make my problems go away, and to have power over this world that so often has power over us.
在我年轻的时候，我就对魔法故事深深着迷。我如饥似渴地阅读有关法师和战士在奇异的世界里与黑势力战斗的书。每当他们取得胜利并为他们生活的这片土地带来了和平和幸福时，我就倍感雀跃。我想，就像看这些故事的大多数读者一样，我也暗暗希望自己能拥有魔法：希望它能奇迹般地让我的痛苦消失，让困扰我的问题得到解决，并能让我掌握这个世界而不用屈从于它。
As I got older, however, I realized that there was no such thing as magic and the harsh reality of life set in. I struggled through a long period of poverty. I had daily pain from a back injury that never healed right. I felt sadness and sorrow when both of my sons were diagnosed with Autism. I still sometimes daydreamed of magic but in time even that faded away.
然而，当我逐渐长大，我开始意识到，根本就不存在魔法，生活的残酷现实开始袭来。我曾在一段漫长又贫苦的岁月中挣扎。我每天都会因为后背上的伤口而疼痛，这个伤口至今都未痊愈。当我的两个儿子都被诊断为自闭症时，伤感与悲痛从心底涌了出来。我有时还幻想我能拥有魔法，但这种想法很快也就消失了。
Then one day I am not sure when I began to discover a different kind of magic. This magic grew stronger in my heart, soul, and mind day by day and year by year. This magic was called LOVE. This magic connected me to God, because God is love. It also connected me to my own highest self and to all of the other souls in this world. It didn’t eliminate my poverty but it made every day of my life feel richer. It didn’t make my back pain go away but it helped me deal with it so much better. It didn’t cure my sons’ Autism, but it helped me see them as the beautiful, loving, eternal, and joyful souls that they truly are. It didn’t make me a wizard or a warrior but it helped me to dispel the darkness of this world with my own light.
然后有一天，我不知是何时开始发现了一种独特的魔法。这种魔法在我的心中、灵魂和思想里逐日发展壮大。这种魔法的名字叫爱。这种魔法将我与神联系起来，因为神就是爱。不仅如此，它还让我成为了最好的自己，并和世界上其他的灵魂心系在一起。它没有消除我的贫穷，却让我每一天的生活都很丰富;它没有使我的背部疼痛消失，但它帮助我更好地面对它;它没能治愈我儿子的自闭症，但它让我看到了他们美丽，有爱，永恒，和快乐的灵魂，这是他们真实的样子;它没有使我变成一个法师或战士，但它使我用自己的一点亮光，驱散了这个世界的黑暗。
There is such a thing as magic in this world. There is such a thing as magic in each one of us. This magic is called LOVE. May you choose it, share it, and live in it every single day of your life. May you use it to help others, to heal this world, and to build a bridge to Heaven.
在这个世界上，的确存在着一种魔法。而且我们每个人都拥有这样一种魔法。这种魔法就是爱。愿你可以选择爱，分享爱，并在充满爱的生活中度过每一天。愿你以爱助人，让这个世界更加美好，达到如天堂般的境地。
优美的英语散文：珍惜生活给你的一切
I remember ripping the bag open so badly, and so wrong, and not wanting to get caught by my mother, or my siblings.
我记得，每次自己都会把包装袋撕得残破不堪，不可收拾。还希望自己的“罪行”不要被妈妈，或者兄弟姐妹们逮到。
Whoever did that to the cereal bags in my home, didn't stop hearing that they ruined it, till the bag was finished.
在我们家，无论谁把包装袋撕成那样，就要不断的听到周围人训斥他“毁了一袋粮食”，直到包装袋里的东西被吃光。
Some fell to the ground, kitchen sink, our dogs even sometimes got lucky with a few pieces of cereal in their bowls.
包装袋里的燕麦四处洒落，有的撒到地上，有的落进洗手池里，有时甚至我们的狗也会碰上好运，吃到几颗落进他碗里的燕麦。

I used to love when my mom came home from grocery shopping.
每次我妈妈去超市买东西回来，我都会非常开心。
Frosted Flakes, Corn Pops, Fruity Pebbles! My siblings, and I survived off these bags.
无论是哪个牌子的燕麦，Frosted Flakes, Corn Pops还是Fruity Pebbles，我和我的兄弟姐妹们没有它们就不能活!
They were our sweetness when, when we felt lonely.
当我们感到孤单的时候，它们为我们带来温暖和甜蜜。
They were our excitement after a long day at the school house...and they were our fulfillment when mom was addicted to other things that weren't so delicious.
当我们在学校里度过了漫长的一天，是这些早餐燕麦为我们补充活力;当妈妈吃着不那么可口的燕麦片时，我们为自己碗里的燕麦片而骄傲自豪。
Those bags were our addiction.
这些燕麦片让我们如痴如迷。
Mom was "Cu cu for Coco Puffs", but she never forgot our cereal.

Mom would get mad, because cereal wasn't free.
妈妈会生气，燕麦片可不是天上掉下来的。
Maybe she knew how much it meant to us,
