英语朗诵短文1-3分钟篇1：be happy! the days that make us happy make us wise. ----john masefield

when i first read this line by england s poet laureate, it startled me. what did masefield mean? without thinking about it much,

i had always assumed that the opposite was true. but his sober assurance was arresting. i could not forget it.

finally, i seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. the wisdom that happiness

makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.

active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment ---

often comes suddenly, like an april shower or the unfolding of

a bud. then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it. the grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable. happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.

nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near

around you. unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall. happy, the wall crumbles.

the long vista is there for the seeing. the ground at your feet,

the world about you----people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger scene. everything assumes a

fairer proportion. and here is the beginning of wisdom.

译文：

快乐

快乐的日子使人睿智。

--- 约翰梅斯菲尔德

第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲尔德的这行诗时，我感到十分震惊。他想表达什么意思?我以前从未对此仔细考虑，总是认定这行诗反过

来才正确。但他冷静而又胸有成竹的表达引起了我的注意，令我无

法忘怀。

终于，我似乎领会了他的意思，并意识到这行诗意义深远。快乐带

来的睿智存在于敏锐的洞察力之间，不会因忧虑而含混迷惑，也不

会因绝望和厌倦而黯然模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。

积极的快乐并非单纯的满意或知足通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然绽放。然后，你就会发觉与快乐结伴

而来的究竟是何种智慧。草地更为青翠，鸟吟更为甜美，朋友的缺

点也变得更能让人理解，宽容。快乐就像是一副眼镜，可以矫正你

的精神视力。

快乐的视野并不仅限于你周围的事物。当你不快乐时，你的思维陷

入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就像是被一道墙给阻隔了，而当你快乐时，这道墙就会砰然倒塌。

你的眼界变得更为宽广。你脚下的大地，你身边的世界，包括人，

思想，情感和压力，现在都融入了更为广阔的景象之中，其间每件

事物的比例都更加合理。而这就是睿智的起始。

英语朗诵短文1-3分钟篇2：facing the enemies within we are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you ve read in the papers. some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o clock in the morning. but once you learn to avoid that situation, you won t need to live in fear of it. fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. fear can destroy fortunes. fear can destroy relationships. fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.

let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within. the first enemy that you ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference. what a tragic disease this is! ho-hum, let it slide. i ll just drift along. here s one problem with drifting: you can t drift your way to the to of the mountain.

the second enemy we face is indecision. indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. it will steal your chances for a better future. take a sword to this enemy.

the third enemy inside is doubt. sure, there s room for healthy skepticism. you can t believe everything. but you also can t let doubt take over. many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities nad doubt the opportunities. worse of all, they
