经典诗歌英语美文 经典诗歌英语美文「篇一」 They dropped like flakes, they dropped like stars, Like petals from a rose, When suddenly across the June A wind with fingers goes. They perished in the seamless grass, -- No eye could find the place; But God on his repealless list Can summon every face. 【中文译文】 战场 他们雪片般落下，他们流星般落下， 象一朵玫瑰花的花瓣纷纷落下， 当风的手指忽然间 穿划过六月初夏。 在眼睛不能发现的地方，-- 他们凋零于不透缝隙的草丛； 但上帝摊开他无赦的名单 依然能传唤每一副面孔 Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples. As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty. 快乐就像一块为了激起阵阵涟漪而丢进池塘的小石头。正好史蒂文森所说，快乐是一种责任。 There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy. 快乐这个词并没有确切的定义，快乐的人快乐的理由多种多样。快乐的关键并不是财富或身体健康，因为我们发现有些乞丐，残疾人和所谓的失败者也都非常快乐。 Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend.

Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will. 这很有效。不久你就会发现，别人不再躲着你了，相反，你开始吸引别人了。你会发觉，做一块能激起好意涟漪的小石头有多么值得。 Then the make-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others. 然后假装就变成了现实。你拥有了使心灵平静的秘密，会因帮助他人而忘我。 Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into
