篇1：高中英语经典诵读短文

The Duties of a Student

Every youth has to make the best use of his school days. As future masters of society, students must get prepared for a strenuous life. In other words, it is their lot to face life’s hardships. One who is bodily weak cannot hope to have great success. It is very important, therefore, for students to fully develop their physical prowess by taking regular exercise.

To render themselves really useful, students are expected to specialize in some areas of study. Their ambition should be to know everything about something than to know something about everything. The twenty-first century has no place for those who have no special knowledge or training.

【注释】

① strenuous ['strenjuəs] adj. 奋发的;紧张的;费劲的;艰苦的

② lot n. 命运;份额;(口)很多a lot of︳lots of;(商品等的)一批，某一类的人 ③ prowess ['prauis] n. 英勇;勇猛;杰出的才能

④ render vt. 使…成为;以…回报(+for);归还(+back);给予(+to);表示

⑤ specialize vi. 专攻，专门研究(+in) vt. 使专门化，使特殊化

【译文】

学生的责任

每个青年人都必须充分利用他学生时代的大好时光。作为未来社会的主人，学生们必须对紧张的生活有所准备。换句话说，正视生活的艰苦是他们的责任。虚弱的身体是没有希望取得巨大成就的。因此，对学生们来说，通过有规律的锻炼来提高他们的身体素质是至关重要的。

我们期望学生们向着某一研究领域专攻，以使得他们成为真正有用的人才，他们的志向应该是知道某一事物的每一方面，而不是去了解每一事物的某一方面。21世纪不会容纳那些没有专业知识和技能的人。

Courage勇气

A father was really worried about his son, who was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk to train his child.

The Buddhist monk said to the boy’s father, “You should leave your son alone here. I’ll make him into a real man within three months. However, you can’t come to see him during this period.”

Three months later, the boy’s father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the child and an experienced boxer. Each time the fighter struck the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up; and each time a punch knocked him down again, then the boy stood up again. Several times later, the Buddhist monk asked, “What do you think of your child? ”

“What a shame!” The boy’s father said. “I never thought he could be so easily knocked down. I needn’t have left him here any longer.”

“I’m sorry that that’s all you see. Don’t you see that each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of crying? That’s the kind of courage you wanted him to have.”

If each time you are knocked down you have the courage to stand up again, then you can be proud of yourself.

【注释】

① Buddhist monk 和尚，禅师; Buddhist n. 佛教徒adj. 佛教的;monk n. 僧侣;修道士 ② punch [pʌntʃ] n. 拳打[C][(+in/on)] v. 用力击，用拳猛击

Is Money the Roud to Happiness?

In modern society, quite a few people make money the target for their live’s pursuits as they believe money is the road to happiness. Is that the case? Does money really make the mare go?

I don’t agree with this opinion. Of course we can’t live without money because it is the currency in circulation with which we buy what we need in daily life. But money doean’t mean everything in the world, especially happiness. The factors that contribute to happiness are unpredictable. Those who have money to burn are not necessarily living a happy life while those who lack physical necessities may be happier than the rich.

People say that money is the source of evil. It is true to some extent. To steal, to rob, to commit murder and even to aggress another country can all be caused by greed. Sometimes money can drive people crazy and even kill them. In that case how can we say money is the road to happiness?

【注释】① 词汇：pursuit n. 追求;mare n. 母马，母驴;currency n. 货币;circulation n. 流通;unpredictable adj. 不可预测的;aggress v. 攻击，侵略

② 短语：to some extent 从某种程度上说 (to a︳some degree)

【译文】 金钱是通向幸福之路吗?

在当今社会，相当多的人把金钱作为终身追求的目标，因为他们相信金钱是通向幸福之路。真的是这样吗?有钱真的能使鬼推磨吗?

我并不认同这种观点。当然我们的生活离不开钱，因为它是流通中的货币，用它我们可以购买日常所需的东西。但是，金钱并不意味着世上的一切东西，特别是幸福。让人幸福的因素是不可预测的，那些花钱如流水的人并不一定过着幸福的生活，而那些物质匮乏的人可能比富人过得更快乐。

人们曾说，金钱是罪恶之源，从某种程度上说，这是正确的。由于贪婪，人们情愿不惜一切代价去偷、去抢、去谋杀，甚至侵略其他国家，有时金钱可以让人疯狂，甚至毁掉他们。在那种情况下，我们怎能说金钱是通向幸福之路呢?

篇3：高中英语经典诵读短文

Friendship

Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that people can enjoy. Everyone needs friends. Real friends are those who can share all our sorrows and double all our joys. When in trouble, we need friends to offer us encouragement and help. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys. It’s hard to imagine what life would be like without friendship.

Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends. A good friend is helpful to us while a bad friend would be harmful. Time tries all. A long-term contract with someone will tell you who is a loyal friend and who is not. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

【注释】contract ['kɔntrækt] n. 合同;协议;契约(这里a long-term contract指长期的交往)

【译文】 友谊

友谊是人们可以享受到的最大乐趣之一。每个人都需要朋友。真正的朋友可以分担你所有的忧愁，增加你的快乐。当我们身陷困境的时候，我们需要朋友的鼓励和帮助;成功的时候，我们也需要朋友分享我们的快乐。很难想象，如果生活缺少友谊会是什么样的。

知道友谊的珍贵，我们就应该谨慎交友。益友对我们帮助很多，而损友则有害无益。日久见人心。长期的交往会告诉你谁是忠诚的朋友而谁不是。患难之交才是真正的朋友。
