初中课堂专用的英语美文鉴赏，附翻译
今日让我们一起来看看英语美文《旅途》和《生命中的五个球》，我信任大家会喜爱的，正如我喜爱的那样，接下来就让我们好好一起看一下吧。
一、《旅途》
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice--
有一天，你最终知道，
什么是你必需得做，并起先去做，
虽然你四周的声音，
始终喊出，
其各种糟糕的建议
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
虽然整个房子，
起先颤抖，
你亦感到那条旧绳索，
绊住了你的脚踝。
“修补我的人生!”
每个声音都在哭喊。
但你并没停止。
你知道什么是你必需得做的，
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundation
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
虽然风用它僵硬的手指，
直往根基，
撬捣，
虽然它们的愁闷，
着实可怕。
天色，
已经很晚，这是个疯狂的夜晚，
路上满是倒下的，
断枝和石头。
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of cloud
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do--
determined to save
the only life you could save.
但慢慢地，
当你将它们的声音抛在身后，
星星起先穿透云层，
散发光辉，
一个新的声音出现了，
你渐渐，
意识到，那是你自己的声音，
它伴随着你，
伴你步步，
深化世途，
决心去做，
你唯一能做的事
确定去挽救，
你唯一能挽救的生命。
二、《生命中的五个球》
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.
想象生命是一场不停丢掷五个球于空中的嬉戏。
You name them-work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air.
这五个球分别是工作、家庭、健康、挚友和心灵，你很努力地掷着这五个球，不让它们落地。
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.
很快你就会了解工作是一个橡皮球，
If you drop it, it will bounce back.
假如你不幸失手落下它，它还会弹回来的。
But the other four balls-family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass.
但是家庭、健康、挚友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。
If you drop one of these,
一旦你失手落下，
they will be irrevocably scuffed,
它们将无法再像以前那样。
marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.
它们可能会少了一角，留下无法挽回的记号、刻痕、损坏甚至碎落一地。
They will never be the same.
它们将无法再像以前那样。
You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
你必需了解这个道理，并且为了平衡你的生命而努力。
How? Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
别拿自己和他人比较，这只会降低你的价值。
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
因为我们都是独一无二的，因为我们每一个人都很特殊。
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.
别人认为重要的事不肯定是你的目标。
Only you know what is best for you.
只有你自己知道什么是最适合你的。
Don't take for granted the things that are closest to your heart.
不要将贴近你的心的人、事物视为天经地义。
Cling to them as they would be your life,
你必需将他们视为生命一般，
for without them, life is meaningless.
仔细对待。因为没有他们，生命将失去意义。
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.
。
By living your life one day at a time,
假如你活在每个当下，
you live ALL the days of your life.
那就活好你生命中的每一天。
Don't give up when you still have something to give.
当你还能赐予的时候就别轻言放弃。
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
只要你不放弃，就有无限延长的可能。
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
别胆怯 承认你并不完备。
It is this fragile thread that binds us each together.
正因如此，我们才得以藉由这犹丝脆弱紧密地绑在一起。
Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
遇到危急时别胆怯 。
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
正因如此，我们才得以藉由这些机会学习英勇。
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.
另以爱太难找寻作为借口而紧闭你的心扉。
The quickest way to receive love is to give it;
最快速找到爱的方法就是赐予你的爱;
the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
最快速失去爱的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱。
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
维持爱的最快好方式就是给爱一双翅膀。
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been,but also where you are going.
不要匆忙地度过你的一生，那匆忙让你忘了曾经到过哪里，也让你忘了你要去哪里。
Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
别遗忘，人类情感上最大的须要是感恩。
Don't be afraid to learn.
不要胆怯 学习。
Knowledge is weightless,
学问没有重量，
a treasure you can always carry easily.
它是可以随身携带的珍宝。
Don't use time or words carelessly.
别漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或口无遮拦。
Neither can be retrieved.
时间与言词两者都是一放就收不回来的。
Life is not a race,
生命不是一场赛跑，
but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
而是一步一个脚印的旅程。
Yesterday is history.
昨天已成历史。
Tomorrow is a mystery.
明天还是未知。
Today is a gift:
而今日则是上天的赏赐
That's why we call it The Present.
因此，我们才称今日为“现在”。
