关于唯美的英语美文摘抄篇一
Heaven and Hell---The Real Difference
A man spoke with the Lord about heaven and hell. The Lord said to the man, “Come, I will show you hell.” They entered a room where a group of people sat around a huge pot of stew. Everyone was famished, desperate and starving. Each held a spoon that reached the pot, but each spoon had a handle so much longer than their own arms that it could not be used to get the stew into their own mouths. The suffering was terrible.
“Come, now I will show you heaven.” The Lord said after a while. They entered another room, identical to the first—the pot of stew, the group of people, the same long-handle spoons. But there everyone was happy and well-nourished.
“I don’t understand,” said the man. “Why are they happy here when they were miserable in the other room and everything was the same?” The Lord smiled. “Ah, it is simple,” he said. “Here they have learned to feed each other.”
一个人在和上帝谈论天堂与地狱。上帝对这个人说：“跟我来，我要让你看看地狱是什么样。” 他们进入一个房间，那儿有一群人围着一个大锅炖肉坐着。个个都面黄肌瘦、神情绝望、快要饿死的样子。每个人手里都拿一把能够得着锅里肉的勺子，但每把勺子的柄都比他们的胳膊长得太多，他们无法用这把勺子把肉送进自己的嘴里。这种折磨真是太可怕了。
“来，我再带你去看看天堂。”过了一会，上帝说。他们进入了另一个房间，和第一个房间一模一样-----一大锅肉、一群人、把柄同样长的勺子。但是，这儿人人都很快乐，养得白白胖胖的。
“我真不明白，”那个人说。“两个房间其他都一模一样，为什么这儿的人这么快乐而那个房间的人那么悲惨?” 上帝笑了.“呃，很简单，”他说:“这里的人学会了相互喂食。”

Sand and Stone
The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE."
这是一个关于沙漠中行走的两个好朋友的故事。他们走着走着，他们发生了争执，甲打了乙一耳光。被打的乙很受伤，但他什么也没说，在沙子里写下：“今天，我最要好的朋友打了我一耳光。”
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE."
他们继续前进，直到他们走到一个绿洲，于是决定洗个澡。被打了一巴掌的乙却陷入了泥沼之中，满满地出现了溺水，而他的朋友，甲救了他。乙从溺水中慢慢苏醒过来之后，他在石头上刻下：“今天我最要好的朋友救了我。”
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"
打了他一耳光又救了他性命的甲就问他：“我伤害了你，你把它写在沙子里，现在你有些在石头上，这是为什么呢?”
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."
乙回答说：“当有人伤害了我们时，我们应该把它在沙子上，那样原谅的风能轻易地把它吹走。但是，当有人做了有利于我们的事情时，我们应该把它刻在石头之上，那样永远不会有风把它吹走。”

Life Is a Do-It-Yourself Project
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire.
he told his employer contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family.
He would miss the paycheck,but he needed to retire.
They could get by.
The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor.
The carpenter said yes,but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work.
He resorted to shooddy workmanship and used inferior materials.
It was an unfortunate way to end his career.
When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house,the contractor handed the front door key to the carpenter.
"This is your house,"he said,"my gift to you."
What a shock!
What a shame!
If he had only known he was building his own house,he would have done it all so differently.
Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us.
We build our lives in a distracted way,reacting rather than acting,willing to put up less than the best.
At important points we do not give the job our best effort.
Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built.
If we had realized that we would have done it differently.
