篇1:高中英语经典诵读短文
Key Factors to Success
No doubt, everyone wishes to be successful in life. But most success depends on three factors: diligence, devotion, and perseverance.
The first key factor is diligence. Diligence can help us remove ignorance and overcome difficulties. It can make a fool wise, and a poor man rich. If we idle away our time now, our future life will be a failure. If we are diligent now, we will surely be successful in the future.
Devotion, which means the concentration of our mind and effort in doing things, is another key factor to success. Whatever job we are doing, we must love it and do it heart and soul. Only when we set our minds on the job, can we do it well.
Furthermore, perseverance is also necessary for any success. If we study or work day after day, there is nothing cannot be achieved. Without a strong will, on the other hand, we are likely to give up when we meet some difficulties.
To conclude, all great man achieve success through diligence, devotion and perseverance. Just as the famous English saying goes, “No pain, no gain.”
【注释】diligence n. 努力,勤奋;devotion n. 热爱,投入;perseverance n. 毅力;坚持不懈;idle away 浪费光阴,虚度时间
【译文】 成功的关键要素
毫无疑问,每个人都想在生活中有所成就。但大多数的成功都取决于三个关键要素:勤奋、投入和持之以恒。
第一个关键要素是勤奋。勤奋可以帮助我们摆脱无知,克服困难。勤奋可以使愚昧的人变得聪明,使贫穷的人变得富裕。如果我们现在虚度光阴,未来的人生就会失败;如果我们现在勤奋,将来一定会非常成功。
投入是成功的另一个关键要素,它意味着集中精力努力做事。我们应该热爱我们所做的任何工作,并全心全意做到最好。只有全身心地投入,才能把工作做好。
此外,持之以恒对任何成功而言都是必不可少的。如果我们每天都坚持学习或工作,没有什么是不可能的。另一方面,没有坚强的意志,我们遇到困难时极易放弃。
一句话,所有的伟人都是通过勤奋、投入和持之以恒而获得成功的。正如那句有名的谚语所说:“不劳不获”。

Ways of Communication
When you speak, write a letter, or make a telephone call, your words carry a message. People communicate with words. But do you how people also communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head and people know you are saying “no”. You nod and people know you are saying “yes”.
People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue seas, and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and what other people are thinking about.
【译文】 交流方式
当你说话、写信或打电话的时候,你的言语就传递了信息。人们用语言交流。不过,你知道吗?人们不用语言也能交流。脸上的微笑显示你高兴或友好;眼中的泪水告诉别人你很伤心。课堂上你一举手,老师就知道你有话要说或有问题要问。你摇摇头,人们就知道你在说“不”;你点点头,人们就知道你在说“是”。
人们还可以用其他许多方式来相互交流。画家可以用他的绘画来表现壮丽的山脉、湛蓝的大海和其他许多事物。作家撰写书籍给你讲述世界上一切奇妙的事物,告诉你别人的思想。
American Dining Etiquette
If you’re invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, keep in mind these general rules for polite behavior.
First of all, arrive approximately on time (but not early). Americans expect promptness. It’s OK to be ten or fifteen minutes late but not forty-five minutes late. Dinner might be overcooked and ruined by then. When you’re invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s polite to bring a small gift. Flowers or candy are always appropriate. If you have an attractive item made in your native country, your host or hostess would certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift.
Don’t leave immediately after dinner, but don’t overstay your welcome, either. When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversation, take their behavior as a cue to leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.
【注释】
① etiquette ['eti'ket] n. 礼节;规矩 (manners n. 礼貌;规矩;风俗习惯)
② approximately [ə'prɔksimitli] adv. 近似地;大约
③ promptness [prɔmptnis] n. 准时;正好 (punctuality 守时,准时;punctual adj.守时的) ④ appropriate [ə'prəupriət] adj. 适当的 (proper adj. 适当的,恰当的 be proper to) ⑤ cue [kju:] n. 暗示;提示
⑥ overstay one’s welcome (某人)呆的太久让人生厌
【译文】 美国人进餐的礼节
如果你应邀去一位美国朋友家共进晚餐,你应该记住以下这些礼貌行事的规矩。
首先,争取按时到达(但不要早到)。美国人希望守时。晚10分钟或15分钟到不成问题,但不应迟到45分钟,因为那时候菜肴或许会因烹饪时间过长而失去应有的美味。你应邀去别人家吃饭时,不妨带件小礼物以示礼貌。鲜花和糖果总是很合适的。如果你带点自己国家的特产,主人肯定会高兴地收下这份礼物。
不要吃完马上就走,但也不应逗留过长时间。如果你的朋友看上去已经有些疲倦,你们似乎也没有什么可聊的了,不妨把这看作是告辞的暗示。第二天,给朋友打个电话或写个感谢卡以表明自己昨晚过得很愉快。
