英文诗歌 短篇经典
That Sunny Morning 那个晴朗的
上午
怎能忘记那个晴朗的上午?I cannot forget that sunny
morning.
当时我在草地上散步,When on a pasture I was roaming.
蒲公英摇摆着自由的金黄,Every dandelion was free,
树下睡着悠闲的荫凉,So was every tree.
笑从心里漾到嘴角,Why I couldn"t help laughing?
不知为什么高兴得不得了.Felt like a blissful being.
秋天的色调 Autumnal Colours
我知道你想念秋天的光彩,I know you long for autumnal
colours,
柔柔的白云 Soft cloudlets
融化在淡蓝的天里,Melting in the baby-blue sky;
玫瑰伴着你 Dozing inthe sunshine
在阳光下小睡,In a rose"s company,
脸儿晒得烫了,Your face basking in warmth
心却含着微风的凉爽.Your heart as cool as bre
Hold fast to dreams 紧紧抓住梦想,
For if dreams die 梦想若是消亡
Life is a broken-winged bird 生命就象鸟儿折了翅膀
That can never fly.再也不能飞翔
Hold fast to dreams 紧紧抓住梦想,
For when dreams go 梦想若是消丧
Life is a barren field 生命就象贫瘠的荒野,
Frozen only with snow 雪覆冰封,万物不再生长

Rain is falling all around, 雨儿在到处降落，
It falls on field and tree, 它落在田野和树梢，

A Grain of Sand 一粒沙子
William Blake/威廉.布莱克
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild fllower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
从一粒沙子看到一个世界，
从一朵野花看到一个天堂，
把握在你手心里的就是无限，
永恒也就消融于一个时辰
(四)Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
雪夜林畔驻马
By Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound"s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
雪夜林畔驻马
罗伯特.弗罗斯特
我想我知道这是谁的树林.
他的家虽在那边乡村;
他看不到我驻足在此地,
伫望他的树林白雪无垠.
我的小马一定会觉得离奇,
停留于旷无农舍之地,
在这树林和冰湖中间
一年中最昏暗的冬夕.
它将它的佩铃朗朗一牵
问我有没有弄错了地点.
此外但闻微风的拂吹
和纷如鹅毛的雪片
这树林真可爱,黝黑而深邃.
可是我还要赶好几英里路才能安睡,
还要赶好几英里才能安睡.
(五)ALWAYS HAVE A DREAM 总是有一个梦想
Forget about the days when it"s been cloudy. But don"t forget your hours in the sun. Forget about the times you have been defeated. But don"t forget the victories you have won. Forget about the misfortunes you have encountered. But don"t forget the times your luck has turned. Forget about the days when you have been lonely. But don"t forget the friendly smiles you have seen. Forget about the plans that didn"t seem to work out right. But don"t forget to always have a dream. 忘掉你失意的日子，但不要忘记黄金的时光。 忘掉你的一次次失败，但不要忘记你夺取的胜利。 忘掉你遭遇的不幸，但不要忘记你的时来运转。 忘掉你的孤独日子，但不要忘记你得到的友善微笑。 忘掉你没有得以顺利实施的计划，但不要放弃你的梦想
(六)THE CUCKOO布谷鸟
In April, 四月里，
Come he will, 它就来了，

Sing all day, 整天吟唱多逍遥，
In June, 六月里，
Change his tune, 它在改变曲调，
In July, 七月里，
Prepare to fly, 准备飞翔，
In August, 八月里，
Go he must! 它就得离去了!
【七】Boats Sail On The Rivers
Boats sail on the rivers, 小舟在河上航行，
And ships sail on the seas; 大船在海中操轮，
But clouds that sail across the sky, 然而白云飘过天空时，
Are prettier far than these. 比这些更为悦人。
(八)
There are bridges on the rivers, 河上有桥，
As pretty as you please; 如你所愿的那么悦目;
But the bow that bridges heaven, 然而横跨在穹苍的长虹，
And overtops the trees, 却比树梢更高，
And builds a road from earth to sky, 而能建筑一条通行天际的道路，
Is prettier far than these. 比这些更为美好。

Life is a barren field 生命就象贫瘠的荒野，
Frozen only with snow 雪覆冰封，万物不生
