有关于唯美英语美文：汽车
My friend said cars are a pain. What he meant was that his car was a lot of trouble. I suppose he must have bought a “lemon”, that is, a car full of problems and not worth its keep.
Not everybody feels the same way about cars. To some, cars are just machines on wheels.These people hunt for the best value. They look for vehicles that are affordable but reliable,gas efficient, comfortable enough, reasonably safe and not too expensive to repair.In contrast, you have also seen owners who lovingly polished their machines, dressing them in fancy seat covers,and attaching cute little doodads to the windows.
To some, cars are not machines. They are the emotional extensions of their owners.Think about the adrenalin high when one looks at a BMW. The status, speed and wealth identified with the BMW are certainly tempting. Think Jaguar, and we picture the sleek, dangerous, fast and powerful black cat with rippling muscles leaping after its prey. What about the latest hot wheels - the mini-vans and jeeps? They spell outdoors, young, sporty, carefree, cool. Or cute little Smart cars - trendy, city, efficient, modern.
There is also a special class of car owners - the sentimental.To them, modern day vehicles are artistic disasters - tasteless and boring. For them, the only real cars are vintage those really old-fashion vehiclesyou see in movies about the days of our great grandparents. These cars may be antique but not ugly. They are polished to a dazzling shine, with spotless chrome and bright clean tires.
As for me, I shudder at the cost of a new vehicle. So for now, just get me a sturdy used car that can bring me from here to there without breaking down. Besides, I do not have to fret about someone running an initiation scratch on the new paint job.
有关于唯美英语美文：人生如诗
I think that,from a biological standpoint,human life almost reads like a poem.It has its ownrhythm and beat,its internal cycles of growth and decay.It begins with innocentchildhood,followed by awkward adolescence trying awkwardly to adapt itself to maturesociety,with its young passions and follies, its ideals and ambitions;then it reaches a manhoodof intenseactivities, profiting from experience and learning more about society and humannature; at middle age, there is a slight easing of tension,a mellowing of character like theripening of fruit or the mellowing of good wine,and the gradual acquiring of a more tolerant,more cynical and at the same time a kindlier view of life;then in the sunset of our life, theendocrine glands decrease their activity,and if we have a true philosophy of old age and haveordered our life pattern according to it,it is for us the age of peace and security and leisureand contentment;finally, life flickers out and one goes into eternal sleep, never to wake upagain.One should be able to sense the beauty of thisrhythm of life, to appreciate, as we do ingrand symphonies, its main theme,its strains of conflict and the final resolution.
The movements of these cycles are very much the same in a normal life, but the music must beprovided by the individual himself.In some souls, the discordant note becomes harsher andharsher and finally overwhelms or submerges the main melody.Sometimes the discordantnote gains so much power that the music can no longer go on, and the individual shootshimself with a pistol or jumps into a river.But that is because his original leitmotif has beenhopelessly over shadowed through the lack of a good self education. Otherwise the normalhuman life runs to its normal end in a kind of dignified movement and procession.
No one can say that a life with childhood, manhood and old age is not a beautifularrangement; the day hasits morning, noon and sunset, and the year has its seasons, and itis good that it is so. There is no goodor bad in life, except what is good according to its ownseason.And if we take this biological view of life and try to live according to the seasons, no onebut a conceited fool or an impossible idealist can denythat human life can be lived like apoem.

Franklin’s life is full of charming stories which all young men should know how he peddledballads in Boston, and stood as the guest of kings in Europe;how he worked his passage as astowaway to Philadelphia, and rode in the queen’s own litter in France; how he walked thestreets of Philadelphia, homeless and unknown, with three penny rolls for his breakfast, anddined at the tables of princes, and received his friendsin a palace; how he raised a kite from acow shed, and was showered with all the high degrees the collegesof the world could give; howhe was duped by a false friend as a boy, and became the friend of all humanity as a man; howhe was made Major General Franklin, only to resign because, as he said, he was no soldier,andyet helped to organize the army that stood before the trained troops of England and Germany.
This poor Boston boy, with scarcely a day’s schooling, became master of six languages andnever stopped studying; this neglected apprentice tamed the lightning, made his namefamous,
received degrees and diplomas from colleges in both hemispheres, and became foreverremembered as “DoctorFranklin”, philosopher, patriot, scientist, philanthropist andstatesman. Self made, self taught, and self reared, the candle maker’s son gave light to all theworld; the street ballad seller set all men singing of liberty; the runaway apprentice becamethe most sought after man of two continents, and brought his native land to praise and honorhim.
He built America, for what our Republic is today is largely due to the prudence, theforethought, the statesmanship, the enterprise, the wisdom, and the ability of BenjaminFranklin. He belongs to the world, but especially does he belong to America. As the nationshonored him while living, so the Republic glorifies him when dead, and has enshrined him in thechoicest of its niches, the one he regarded as the loftiest thehearts of the common people,from whom he had sprung and in their hearts Franklin will live forever.
