  英語美文摘抄100字

  1、It was a beautiful letter, but there was no way, except for the name Michael, to identify the owner. Maybe if I called information, the operator could find a phone listing for the address on the envelope. The operator suggested I speak with her supervisor, who hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, there is a phone listing at that address, but I can't give you the number. " She said as a courtesy, she would call that number, explain my story and ask whoever answered if the person wanted her to connect me.
這是一封精美的信,但是除了邁克爾的名字以外,沒有其他辦法確定皮夾的主人。或許詢問信息臺,話務員可以通過信封上的住址查到電話。話務員建議我和她的負責人說,那位負責人猶豫了一會兒,然后說:嗯,“有那個住址的電話號碼,但我不能給你。”她說出于禮貌,她可以打那個電話,說明我的情況后,看接電話的人是否愿意讓她再與我聯(lián)系。

  2、I waited a few minutes and then the supervisor was back on the line. "I have a party who will speak with you. " I asked the woman on the other end of the line if she knew anyone by the name of Hannah. She gasped. " Oh! We bought this house from a family who had a daughter named Hannah. But that was thirty years ago!" "Would you know where that family could be located now?" I asked. "I remember that Hannah had to place her mother in a nursing home some years ago, "the woman said. "Maybe if you got in touch with them, they might be able to track down the daughter. "She gave me the name of the nursing home, and I called the number. The woman on the phone told me the old lady had passed away some years ago, but the nursing home did have a phone number for where the daughter might be living. I thanked the person at the nursing home and phoned the number she gave me. The woman who answered explained that Hannah herself was now living in a nursing home. This whole thing is stupid, I thought to myself. Why am I making such a big deal over finding the owner of a wallet that has only three dollars and a letter that is almost sixty years old?
我等候了幾分鐘,然后那位負責人回到線上:“有一位女士將會和你說。”我問電話另一端的女士,她是否認識一個叫漢娜的人。她吃驚地說:“哦!我們從一戶人家買來這棟房子,他們家的女兒叫漢娜。但已經(jīng)是30年前的事了!”“你知道那戶人家現(xiàn)在可能住在哪里嗎?”我追問。“我記得漢娜數(shù)年以前將她的母親送到一家養(yǎng)老院,”女人說,“如果你和他們聯(lián)系,他們可能會找到她女兒。”她給了我養(yǎng)老院的名字,我撥通了電話。電話中的女人告訴我老婦人數(shù)年前就已經(jīng)過世,但是養(yǎng)老院確實有個電話號碼,老婦人的女兒可能住在那里。我謝過養(yǎng)老院的人并按她給我的號碼去了電話。接電話的女人解釋說現(xiàn)在漢娜自己也是住在一家養(yǎng)老院內(nèi)。我想這整件事真是太傻了,為什么我費這么大的勁去找只有3美元和一封信的錢夾主人,而那封信差不多已有60年了?

  3、Nevertheless, I called the nursing home in which Hannah was supposed to be living, and the man who answered the phone told me , "Yes, Hannah is staying with us. "Even though it was already 10 P. M. , I asked if I could come by to see her. "Well, "he said hesitatingly, "if you want to take a chance, she might be in the day room watching television. "
然而不管怎么樣,我還是打電話給漢娜所在的養(yǎng)老院,接電話的男人告訴我,“是的,漢娜是和我們在一起。”即使已經(jīng)是晚上10點了,我還是問是否可以前去看她,那人猶豫地說:“好吧,你可以試試運氣,她可能在客廳里看電視。”

  4、I thanked him and drove over to the nursing home. The night nurse and a guard greeted me at the door. We went up to the third floor of the large building. In the day room, the nurse introduced me to Hannah. She was a sweet, silverhaired old——timer with a warm smile and a twinkle in her eyes. I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter. The second she saw the powder——blue envelope with that little flower on the left, she took a deep breath and said, "Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Michael. "She looked away for a moment, deep in thought, and then said softly, "I loved him very much. But I was only sixteen at the time and my mother felt I was too young. Oh, he was so handsome. He looked like Sean Connery, the actor. "
我謝過了他并開車到養(yǎng)老院。值夜班的護士和一個守衛(wèi)在門口接待了我。我們上了大樓的三層。在客廳中,護士向漢娜介紹了我。她是一個和藹的老人,滿頭銀發(fā),面帶微笑,神采奕奕。我告訴她關于拾到錢夾的事并給她看了信。她看見左邊有花的淡藍色信封的一刻,深深地吸了一口氣并說:“年輕人,這封信是我和邁克爾的最后聯(lián)系。”她把視線轉向別處,陷入沉思,然后柔和地說:“我非常愛他,但是我那時只有16歲,我母親覺得我年齡太小了。哦,他是如此英俊,看起來像演員肖恩?康納利一樣。”

  5、If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.
如果你覺得心有余力不足,覺得缺乏前進的動力,有時候你只需要改變思維的角度。

  6、By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.
試著訓練自己的思想朝好的一面看,這樣你就會汲取實現(xiàn)目標的動力,而不會因為消極沉淪停滯不前。

  7、Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don't leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.
一旦變換看問題的角度,你的生活會豁然開朗,幸福快樂會接踵而來。別交出掌握命運的主動權,也別指望局面會不可思議的好轉。你必須與內(nèi)心希望與熱情步調(diào)一致。建立自信,敢于與困難短兵相接,而非繞道而行。記住,力量不是駕馭局勢的法寶,無堅不摧的能力才是最重要的。()

  8、Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your "worry hours" into "productive hours". Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you addopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.
請堅信,美好的降臨并非不可能,失誤也許是成功的前奏。將惶恐化作信任,學會超越擔憂和疑慮。讓“誠惶誠恐”的時光變得“富有成效”。不要揮霍浪費精力, 將它投到有意義的事情中去。當你下意識品嘗生命的歡愉時,美好就會出現(xiàn)。當你積極地看待生活,并以此作為你的日常準則時,你就會找到快樂的真諦。
