英语美文摘抄200字篇一： henry ford didn t always pay

attention in school. one day ,he and a friend took a watch apart. angry and upset, the teacher told him both to stay after school. their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch. but the teacher did not know young ford s genius. in ten minutes, this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on this way home..

ford was always interested in how things worked. he once

plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire. then he waited to see what would happen. the water boiled and, of course, turned to steam. since the steam had no way to escape, the teapot exploded. the explosion cracked a mirror and broke a window. the young inventor was badly scalded

ford s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off. he dreamed of a horseless carriage. when he built one, the world of transportation was changed forever.

亨利.福特在学校里常常心不在焉。有一天，他和一个小朋友把一块手表拆开了。老师很生气，让他们放学后留下来，把表修好才能回家。当时这位老师并不知道小福特的天才。只用了十分钟，这位机械奇才就把手表修好，走在回家的路上了。

福特对各种东西的工作原理总是很感。曾有一次，他把茶壶嘴用东西堵住，然后把茶壶放在火炉上。他便站在一边等候着会出现什么情况。当然，水开后变成了水蒸气。因为水蒸气无处逸出，茶壶便爆炸了，因而打碎了一面镜子和一扇窗户。这个小发明家也被严重地了。

多年后，福特的好奇心和他的动手能力使他得到了回报。他曾经梦想着去制造一辆无马行进的车。他造成了一辆这样的车后，运输界发生了永久性的变化。

英语美文摘抄200字篇二： however mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.it is not so bad as you are.it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in paradise.love your life,poor as it is.you may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious

hourss,even in a poor-house.the setting sun is reflected from

the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.i do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.the town s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.may be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above

supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,turn the old,return to them.things do not change;we change.sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. 不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

英语美文摘抄200字篇三： a country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head,when she fell into the

following train of reflections. the money for which i shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred,these eggs,allowing for what may prove addle,and what may be destroyed by vermin,will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens.the chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry is always dear;so that by the new year i cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown.green-let me consider-yes,green becomes my

complexion best .and green it shall be, in this dress i will go to

the fair,where all young fellows will strive to have me for a parter;but no-i shall refuse every one of them,and with a disdainful toss turn from them.

transported with this idea,she could not forbear acting with her head the thought that passed in her mind,when down came the can of milk!and all her imaginary happiness vanished in a moment.

一个村姑头上顶着一罐牛奶在路上行走。走着走着，她的脑子里浮现出一连串的幻想： 我卖了这罐牛奶后，用这笔钱买鸡蛋，这样我有的鸡蛋可以增加到300个。用这300个鸡蛋孵小鸡，这就算有坏的、生虫的，至少也能孵出250只小鸡。等小鸡长大后，正好能赶上卖个好市价;那么到了新年，我就能有钱买一件新晚装。买一件绿色的 让我好好想想 对，绿色与我的肤色最相衬。我穿上这件衣服去赶集，所有的年轻小伙子都会抢着邀请我做舞伴;但是不行 我要轻蔑地把头一扬，转身过去不理他们，让他们人人都碰个钉子。

她想得得意忘形，情不自禁地把头一扬，刹那间，牛奶罐跌了下来!她幻想的一切幸福间破灭了。

英语美文摘抄200字篇四： youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. nobody grows old merely by a number of years. we grow old by deserting our ideals.

years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what s next and the joy of the game of living.

in the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope,

courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

when your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you ve

grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there s hope you may die young at 80.

青春不是年华，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。

一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

英语美文摘抄200字篇五： the day is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary;

the vine still clings to the moldering wall, but at every gust the dead leaves fall, and the day is dark and dreary.

my life is cold and dark and dreary; it rains and the wind is never weary;

my though still cling to the moldering past, but the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, and the days are dark and dreary.

be still, sad heart! and cease repining;

behind the clouds is the sun still shining; thy fate is the common fate of all, into each life some rain must fall,

some days must be dark and dreary. 天冷、阴暗、沉闷; 下着雨,风也刮个不停; 藤还攀附着颓垣残壁,

每来一阵狂风,枯叶附落纷纷, 天真是阴暗而沉闷.

我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷; 下着雨,风也刮个不停;

我的思想还纠缠着消逝的往事, 大风里,我的青春希望相继熄灭, 天真是阴暗而沉闷.

安静吧,忧伤的心!别再悔恨; 乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂; 你命运和大家的一样,

每个人一生都得逢上阴雨, 有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷. 看完这篇文章的人还看了：

【篇二：英语美文短篇摘抄200字】

to see a world in a grain of sand. and a heaven in a wild flower hold infinity in the palm of your hand. and eternity in an hour 从一粒沙子看到一个世界,从一朵野花看到一个天堂 把握在你手心里的就是无限,永恒也就消融于一个时辰.

life is a chain of moments of enjoyment, not only about survival

生活是一串串的快乐时光,我们不仅仅是为了生存而生存

let’s write that letter we thought of writing one of these days. 曾打算有那么一天去写的信,就在今天写吧. i love you not because of who you are,

because of who i am when i am with you . 我爱你,不是因为你是一个怎样的人, 而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉.

no man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is worth make you cry.

没有人值得你流泪.值得让你这么所的人,不会让你哭泣.

the worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can’t have them.

失去某人,最糟糕的莫过于,他近在身旁,却犹如远在天边.

to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

短篇英语美文摘抄（一） 巴黎文化

ah, beautiful paris. for centuries this city has attracted the

admiration of the world. the allure and charm of paris captivate all who visit there.

where can you discover the charm of paris for yourseif. is it in the legacy of all the french rulers who worked to beautify their beloved city? is it in the famous castles, palaces, statues and monuments? can you it in the world-class museums, such as the louvre? perhaps paris allure lies in the zest and style of the parisians.

when you visit paris, you dont have to spend all of your time visiting museums and monuments. they are certainly worthy of your time, but ignore them for a day. first take some time to look around and experience life in paris. youll find it charming. take a stroll along the seine river. browse through the art

vendors colorful paintings. peek through delicate iron gates at the well kept gardens. watch closely for the french attention to detail that has made france synonymous with good taste. you will see it in the design of a doorway or arch and in the little fountains and quaint balconies. no matter where you look,you will find everyday objects transformed into works by art.

spend some time in a quiet park relaxing on an oid bench. lie on your back on the green grass. when you need refreshment, try coffee and pastries at a sidewalk cafe. strike up a

conversation with a parisian. this isnt always easy, though. with such a large international population living in paris, true natives are hard to find these days.

as evening comes to paris, enchantment rises with the mist over the riverfront. you may hear music from an outdoor

concert nearby classical, jazz, opera or chansons, those french folk songs. parisians love their music. the starry sky is their auditorium. you can also hear concerts in the chateaux and cathedrals. in paris the music never ends.

dont miss the highlight of paris evening: eating out. parisians are proud of their cuisine. and rightly so; its world famous. gourmet dining is one of the indispensable joys ofliving. you need a special guidebook to help you choose one of the

hundreds of excellent restaurants. the capital of france boasts every regional specialty, cheese and wine the country has to offer. if you dont know what to order, ask for the suggested menu. the chef likes to showcase his best dishes there. remember, you havent tasted the true flavor offrance until youve dined at a french restaurant in paris.

after your gourmet dinner, take a walking tour of the floodlit monuments. cross the pont neuf, the oldest bridge in the city. the most famous landmark of paris looms up in front of you the notre dame cathedral （cathedral of our lady）。

stand in the square in front of the cathedral. here, you are standing in the center of france. all distances are measured from the front of notre dame. every road in france leads to her front door. all french kings and leaders have journeyed here to commemorate important occasions and give thanks. notre dame is the heart ofparis and the heart of france.

your visit in paris has only just begun. youve just started to discover the charm ofthis old city. may the rest of yourjoumey be unforgettable. when it is time to leave, you will go

reluctantly. you will say with the french, a bientot, paris, a bientot! （see you again soon, paris!） 英语美文翻译：

啊，美丽的巴黎！几个世纪以来，这个城市赢得了整个世界的崇拜。巴黎的诱惑与魅力吸引了所有到此游玩的人。

你在哪里可以找到巴黎对你的吸引力呢？是否是在历任的法国统治者们在美化他们所钟爱的城市时所留下来的遗产里？还是在那些有名的城堡、皇宫、雕像和纪念碑里呢？你能否在世界一流的博物馆，例如卢浮宫中找着呢？或许巴黎的诱惑力在于巴黎人的特殊品味和风格。

当你到巴黎游玩时，别把时间全都花在看博物馆和纪念碑上面。它们当然很值得你花时间去参观，但今天先忘掉它们。首先来四处看看，并体验 下巴黎的生活。你会在其中发现它的迷人之处的。

沿着塞纳河漫步吧。浏览艺术家们丰富色彩的绘画，透过那些精致的铁门，向内偷窥那些精心照看的花园。仔细留心法国人对于细节的留意，这使得法国成为 好品味 的同义词。你可以在门廊或拱门以及小喷泉和古怪有趣的走廊的设计上发现这一点。不管你往哪里看，你都会觉得日常物品已经变成了艺术品。

花些时间，在一个安静的公园里面的旧板凳上轻松地休息或是躺在青草地上。想吃点心的时候，尝尝路边咖啡店的咖啡及点心。你也可以找一个巴黎人展开一段会话，但这也不太容易，有这么大的国际人口居住在此地，要找到一个真正当地的巴黎人是很难的。

到了傍晚时分，随着码头上雾气的升起，巴黎的诱惑力也随之而起。你也会听到附近室外音乐会所演奏的乐曲，其中包括古典乐、爵士乐、歌剧或是香颂即法国的民歌。巴黎人热爱自己的音乐，繁星点缀的天空，就是他们演奏的大礼堂。你也可以在城堡或教堂里聆听音乐会。在巴黎，音乐是不会停止的。

不要错过了巴黎的夜生活中最重要的一部分：下馆子。巴黎人对其烹饪非常骄傲，他们理当如此，因为它世界驰名。美食本来就是与生活享乐不可分割的。为了帮你从几百家绝佳的餐厅中作选择，你需要 本特别的指南。法国的首都以各地的特色风味、乳酪和酒着称于世，如果你不知道要点什么，可以要 推荐菜单 来看。大厨喜欢在此将他最拿手的菜作一番橱窗展示。请记住，在你尚未在巴黎的法国餐厅里吃过饭之前，都不算尝过法国真正的风味。

在你的美食晚餐之后，可以到被聚光灯照耀的纪念碑去走一趟。穿过（pont neuf）这个城市中最古老的桥 第九桥，你将到达城市之岛（ile de la cite），此时巴黎最有名的标志 圣母院会隐约地呈现在你的面前。站在教堂前面的广场，此时你也正处于法国的正中心，因为所有的距离皆是以圣母院前门开始计算，法国的每一条路都通往它的前门。所有的法国国王或统治者都曾经旅游到此来纪念重要的节日或。圣母院是巴黎的中心，也是法国的中心。

你的巴黎之旅才刚刚开始呢。你才刚刚开始发现这个古老城市的魅力。希望你剩余的旅程将令你难以忘怀。当你该起程回家时，你会依依不合。然后用法文说道：后会有期，巴黎！ 短篇英语美文摘抄（二） 孤独

i find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time.to be in company,even with the best, is soon wearisome. i love to be alone. i never found the companion that was so

companionable as solitude. we are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. a man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will. solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. the really

diligent student in one of the crowded hives of cambridge

college is as solitary as a dervish in the desert. the farmer can work alone in the field or the woods all day, hoeing or

chopping，and not feel lonesome. beacause he is employed; but when he comes home at night he cannot sit down in a room alone, at the mercy of his thoughts, but must be where he can see the folks, and recreate, and,as he thinks. remunerate himself for his days solitude; and hence he

wonders how the student can sit alone in the house all night and most of the day without ennui and the blues but he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is still at work in his field, and chopping in his woods, as the farmer ire his. and in turn seeks the same recreation and society that the latter does, though it may be a more condensed form of it. 大部分时候，我发现独处都是有益于健康的。有人陪伴，即使是最好的同伴，不久也会心生厌烦，兴致将消散。我爱独处。我没有遇见比孤独更好的伴侣了。我们置身国外，立行人群之中，通常比独处室内更加寂寞。一个思考着的或工作着的人总是孤独的，就让他去他想去的地方吧。孤独不是以和同伴之间的距离里程来衡量的。真正勤奋的学生，在剑桥学院一个拥挤的蜂房里，就像沙漠中的苦行僧一样孤单。农夫可以整日在田间或林中独自工作，耕地或者伐木，却并不感到寂寞，因为他有活儿干；可是当他晚上回到家中，却不能在房间坐下独自思考，而必须去 能看到乡亲 的地方消遣娱乐，正如他所想的，去补偿他五天的孤寂；因此他不明白学生如何可以整日整夜地独坐在家里，而不感到倦怠和 优郁 ；但他没有意识到，学生虽然身处室内，()却依然在自己的田野上耕耘，在自己的森林中采伐。就像农夫在他的田地林间工作一样，之后学生也和农夫一样

要去寻求消遣，山要去交朋结友，只是娱乐方式可能更加简明一些。 短篇英语美文摘抄（三）

我们相聚的时间十分短暂，没有足够的时间让彼此获得任何有价值的新事物。我们在一日三餐的时候见面，我们就如陈腐的奶略，却让彼此相互品尝出新味道。我们必须一致同意若干条规则，也就是我们所谓的礼节和礼貌，使这种经常的聚会相安无事，我们还要一致同意我们没有争吵的必要。我们在邮局碰面，在社交场合碰面，每天晚上在炉火边碰面；我们生活得很拥挤，相互干扰，彼此牵绊，我想，我们因此失去了对彼此的尊重。当然，所有重要的、真诚的沟通，次数少一些就足够了。想一想工厂里的女工 永远不会独处，

甚至在梦中也难得是独自一人。如果一平方英里只有一个居民，就像我这样，那要好多了。一个人的价值不在于他的外在。
