英語文章摘抄（一）
Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow， failure and success， hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on out life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life， our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care， they teach us about what is right and wrong， good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived， but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one， failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky， teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money， fame， pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble， modest， courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour， because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday， for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown， for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today， so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
人生好似一個包裹，這個包裹里藏著快樂與悲傷、成功與失敗，希望與絕望。人生也是一個學習的過程。那些經歷給我們上了全新的課，讓我們變得更好。隨著每一天的過去，我們學會了處理各種各樣的問題。
愛
愛在生活之外扮演了一個關鍵的角色。愛使你想要得到些什麼。沒有愛，一個人將走向不歸路，變得凶暴、殘忍。在我們最初的人生道路上，我們的父母給予了我們無條件的關愛，他們教會我們判斷正確與錯誤、好與壞。然而我們常常把這想當然了，只有等到我們結了婚並且有了孩子之後，一個人才會懂得並注意別人的感受。孩子讓我們變得富有責任心、變得成熟穩重，並且更好的理解人生。
快樂與悲傷
物質上的快樂往往是短暫的，然而，當你給予他人一個微笑的時候，那種滿足卻是無與倫比的。心靈的平靜往往是快樂的源泉。沒有平和的心態就沒有快樂的心情。在傷心的時候，我們往往能夠體會到快樂的真諦。悲傷基本都來自於一個愛人的去世、失敗還有絕望，但是這樣的事情都是暫時的，總會過去的。
失敗與成功
失敗是成功之母。它讓我們觸及藍天，它教會我們如何生存，它給予我們一條特殊的路。成功給予我們金錢、名譽、驕傲和自尊。這裡，保持頭腦清醒便顯得尤為重要。唯一能讓我們感激上帝給予的成功便是始終卑微、謙虛、禮貌並且尊重沒有我們幸運的人們。
希望與絕望
希望是人生動力之源。父母總是希望自己的孩子能夠做得很好。希望使我們有夢想。希望使我們變得有耐心。人生教會我們即使是在最困難的時候都不要絕望，因為黑暗之後終將是黎明。沒有什麼事一成不變的，我們惟有充滿希望地繼續生活。
人生教會我們不要對過去的事感到後悔，因為過去的終究是過去了並且我們已無法控制。沒人知道明天會是怎樣，因為它可以是光明的同樣也可以是無趣的。所以，唯一的選擇便是在今天努力工作，這樣才能讓我們去享受更美好的明天。
英語文章摘抄（二）
I believe， for every drop of rain
that falls， A flower grows…
I believe that somewhere in the
darkest night， A candle glows…
I believe for everyone who
goes astray， Someone will come，
to show the way， I believe， I believe…
I believe， above the storm the
smallest prayer， Will still be heard…
I believe， that someone in that
great somewhere， Hears every word…
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry，
Or touch a leaf，
or see the sky，
Then I know why， I believe!
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry，
Or touch a leaf，
or see the sky，
Then I know why， I believe!
我相信，每個雨滴飄落
就有一朵花兒生長……
我相信，即使最漆黑的夜晚
也會有蠟燭發出明亮的光
我相信，每個迷途的人
都會有人給他指路
我相信，我相信……
我相信，即使暴風雨在狂怒咆哮
最微弱的祈禱也會被聽到……
我相信，有人在某個偉大的地方
聽到了每一個字……
每當聽到新生兒的哭聲
或觸摸一片葉子
或凝望天空
我就知道為何會這樣，我相信！
每當聽到新生兒的哭聲
或觸摸一片葉子
或凝望天空
我就知道為何會這樣，我相信！
英語文章摘抄（三）
My aunt died back in about 2003. She was eighty——four and so was my uncle. When she passed he was devastated. They had been married for over 60 years. We expected him to pass on quickly after she died. He attended his church more frequently and his mourning was nearly unbearable to witness. His only daughter lived clear across the country so he had only the rest of the extended family and church family to comfort him.
My cousin talked him into selling the house that he and my aunt had built together about twenty five years before. It was very hard to part with the home they built together. He was going to move into an apartment， but at the last moment， my cousin and he saw a new house for sale， that was close to his business. She helped him buy furniture and a flat screen television. He had not watched television for years because of his religion. He got back into watching the news and history channel and religious programs when my aunt was in the nursing home. He was like a kid with a new toy but still grieved horribly for my aunt.
我伯母大約在2003年去世。她已是84歲高齡，()我伯父與她同齡。伯母的去世對伯父來說是個沉重的打擊。他們結婚超過 60年了。伯母去世後，我們以為伯父很快也會跟著離開。伯父愈加頻繁地去教會，他的悲慟幾乎令人不忍目睹。他唯一的女兒一直住在離他很遠的另一個地方，因而他只能從家族的遠親以及教會同伴那裡尋求慰藉。
我堂姐遊說伯父賣掉那棟他和伯母大概在25年前一起建造的房子。要離開他倆一起建造的「家」，這對伯父而言非常艱難。他準備搬進一間公寓，不過就在最後一刻，我堂姐和他看中了一棟待售的新房，而且這房子離伯父的公司很近。堂姐幫伯父買來了家具和一台平板電視機。由於他的宗教信仰，伯父已經很多年沒有看電視了。他如同一個拿到一件新玩具的孩子那樣開心，不過對於伯母的離去，他還是非常傷心。
