Neither does the wisest man extort her secret, and lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection. 如同大智慧者不会因穷尽自然的和谐底蕴而失去对她的好奇之心。 Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit. 自然之于智慧的心灵绝非玩具。 The flowers, the animals, the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as much as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhoo...
And starring these tiers of leaves were white lotus flowers, alluringly open or bashfully in bud, like glimmering pearls, stars in an azure sky, or beauties fresh from the bath. The breeze carried past gusts of fragrance, like the strains of a song faintly heard from a far-off tower. And leaves and blossoms trembled slightly, while in a flash the scent was carried away. As t...

In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains. 那年晚夏，我们住在乡村一幢房子里，望得见隔着河流和平原的那些高山。 In the bed of the river there were pebbles and boulders, 河床里有鹅卵石和大圆石头， dry and white under the sun and the water is clear and swiftly moving and blue in the channels. 在阳...

Earlier in theday we had had a tussle over the words "m-u-g" and "w-a-t-e-r." Miss Sullivan had tried toimpress it upon me that "m-u-g" is mug and that "w-a-t-e-r" is water, but I persisted inconfounding the two. In despair she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it atthe first opportunity. I became impatient at her rep...
But in the sunny countries, change is the reality and permanence is artificial and a condition of imprisonment. Hence, to the northerner, the phenomenal world is essentially tragical, because it is temporal and must cease to exist. Its very existence implies ceasing to exist, and this is the root of the feeling of tragedy. 然而，对于生活在阳光地带的人，却是不同的概念。变化对...
To begin with the Youthful type of character. 我们首先来讨论一下年轻人的性格特征。 Young men have strong passions, and tend to gratify1 them indiscriminately. 年轻人有炽热的激情，而且想不管不顾地逐个满足。 They are changeable and fickle in their desires, which are violent while they last, but quickly over: 他们的愿望举棋不定，有的时候很猛烈，但转瞬即逝。 their impulses are k...
Deft boys and pretty girls.Reach an understanding while boating;Their prows veer slowly,But the winecups pass quickly;Their oars are entangled,As they cut through the duckweed,And girls with slender waists.Turn to gaze behind them.Now spring and summer meet,Leaves are tender, flowers fresh;With smiles they protect their silks,Drawing in their skirts, afraid lest the boat ups...
Also there are the huge bud-spikes of the stout, thick-flowering pink orchid, huge buds like fat ears of wheat, hard-purple and splendid. 当然。也少不了顶着巨大的花苞穗，长满茂密花儿的强壮粉红兰花，兰花那巨大的花苞穗如同饱满地麦穗一样，配上耀眼地紫色，让人觉得完美无缺。 But already odd grains of the wheat-ear are open, and out of the purple hangs the delicate pink rag of flo...
North of the Alps, the everlasting winter is interrupted by summers that struggle and soon yield; south of the Alps, the everlasting summer is interrupted by spasmodic and spiteful winters that never get a real hold, but that are mean and dogged. 在阿尔卑斯山的北面。持续地冬天遭到了夏季的顽强抵抗。很快屈服了。而其南面，夏季被间歇地、充满敌意地寒冬阻挡，永远也不能真正占了上风...
I have found the road to a better home. 我已经找到一条通往更美好的家园的大道， I have seen the promise of a happier life. Follow me and I shall lead you thither. 我已经看到幸福生活的曙光。跟我来吧，我带领你们奔向那里。 For the smile of the Gods is the same there as here and everywhere. 上帝的笑容不只是在这儿，也在其它地方。 He stopped and there went up a great cry of horror....
Hence，when we came to Spezzia，we found that the Magra，an unbridged river on the high-road to Pisa，was too high to be safely crossed in the Ferry Boat，and were fain to wait until the afternoon of next day，when it had，in some degree，subsided. Spezzia，however，is a good place to tarry at； by reason，firstly，of its beautiful bay； secondly，of its ghostly Inn； thirdl...
We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysucklewith which it was covered. Some one was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand underthe spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the wordwater, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of herfingers. Suddenl...
In the wood, the scrub-oak is only just coming uncrumpled, and the pines keep their hold on winter. 在森林里，矮灌木即将倒下，而松树在冬天里则稳稳地保持自己的站姿。 They are wintry things, stone-pined. 冬天是最适宜石松生长的季节。 At Christmas, their heavy green clouds are richly beautiful. 一到圣诞节的时候，石松团团的深绿色更显得婀娜多姿。 When the cypresses rise their tall...
