適合朗誦的英語美文薦讀

　　朗誦可提高學生的語文學習興趣在語文教學中,朗誦往往被忽視。即使讀課文,也只是朗讀,而非朗誦。下面是小編帶來的，歡迎閱讀!

　　篇一

　　希拉裡克林頓的演講***節選***Hillary Clinton’s

　　So I want to say to my supporters: when you hear people saying or think to yourself “If only” or “What if”, I say, please, don’t go there. Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward.

　　我要告訴我的支持者：如果你聽到別人說或者你自己曾經這樣想，“如果某件事沒有發生”或者“要是出現了另一種情況”，那麼我會說，請不要這樣。為往事嘆息會阻礙我們前進。

　　Life is too short; time is too precious; and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. duanwenw We have to work together for what still can be. And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama becomes our next president.

　　生命短暫，時間寶貴，沉湎於空想的代價實在太大。面對現實，我們必須團結起來，這就是我全力支援奧巴馬參議員當選下一任總統的原因。

　　When we first started, people everywhere asked the same question: could a woman really serve as commander-in-chief? duanwenw Well, I think we answered that one. As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can launch 50 women into space, we can someday launch a woman into the White House. Although we weren’t able to shatter* that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it’s got about 18 million cracks in it.

　　當選舉剛開始的時候，到處都有人在問：“一個女人真的能夠領導國家嗎?”我想，我們已經對這個問題做出了回答。當我們今天在這裡集會的時候，第五十位女性正在我們的頭頂，繞地球飛行。如果我們能夠將五十位女性送入太空，那麼總有一天，我們也會將一位女性送入白宮。英語演講短文雖然這一次我們無法打破那最高、最堅硬的玻璃天花板，但是由於你們，它出現了1800萬道裂縫。

　　And the light is shining through as never before, filling us all with hope. Indeed, the path will be a little easier next time.

　　光明從未像現在這樣明亮，它讓我們充滿希望。確實，下一次這條道路將變得更容易一些。

　　篇二

　　我的信念This I Believe

　　I believe it is possible for ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things. For me, the difference between an "ordinary" and an "extraordinary" person is not the title that person might have, but what they do to make the world a better place for us all.

　　我相信平凡的人可以做出不平凡的事。在我看來,普通人和偉人的區別並不在於頭銜,而在於他們做了什麼對人類有益的事。

　　I have no idea why people choose to do what they do. duanwenw When I was a kid I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I did know what I didn’t want to do. I didn’t want to grow up. And I certainly didn’t think about being an activist. I didn’t even really know what one was.

　　我不知道人們選擇從事某項工作的理由。當我還是個孩子時我並不知道我長大以後想做什麼,我只知道我不想做什麼。我不想長大,也從未想過做一個激進主義者。我根本不瞭解激進主義者是什麼。

　　My older brother was born deaf. Growing up, I ended up defending him and I often think that is what started me on my path to whatever it is I am today.

　　我哥哥生下來就耳聾。隨著我漸漸長大,最終是我保護他。我想這大概就是促使我走上今天這條道路的原因。

　　If I have any power as an individual, it’s because I work with other individuals in countries all over duanwenw the world. We are ordinary people and we’ve all worked together to bring about extraordinary change.

　　如果我個人擁有某種能力,那是因為我同世界各國的人們一起奮鬥。我們都是平凡的人,但我們通過共同努力帶來了神奇的變化。

　　I believe that words are easy. I believe that truth is told in the actions we take. And I believe that if enough ordinary people supported our desire for a better world with action we could accomplish absolutely extraordinary things.

　　行動勝於言行,真理蘊含在我們的行動裡。我堅信如果有許許多多的普通人拿出行動來支援我們創造一個更加美好的世界的願望,我們一定能夠完成偉大的事業。

　　篇三

　　我們都是地球的乘客***節選***Riders on the Earth Together

　　英語演講短文選自美國第37任總統理查德·尼克松的就職演講

　　Each moment in history is a fleeting1 time, precious and unique.

　　歷史的每一個時刻轉瞬即逝,它既珍貴又獨特。

　　But some stand out as moments of beginning, in which courses are set that shape decades or centuries. This can be such a moment.Forces now are converging that make possible, for the first time, the hope that many of man’s deepest aspirations can at last be realized.

　　可是,其中某些顯然是揭開序幕的時刻,此時,一代先河得以開創,它決定了未來數十年或幾個世紀的航向。現在可能就是這樣一個時刻。現在,各方力量正在匯聚起來,使我們第一次可以期望人類的許多夙願最終能夠實現。

　　As the Apollo astronauts flew over the moon’s gray surface on Christmas Eve, duanwenw they spoke to us of the beauty of earth —and in that voice so clear across the lunar distance, we heard them invoke God’s blessing on its goodness.

　　阿波羅號上的宇航員在聖誕節前夕飛越月球灰色的表面時,向我們說起地球的美麗——從穿過月距而傳來的如此清晰的聲音中,我們聽到他們在祈禱上帝賜福人間。

　　In that moment, their view from the moon moved poet Archibald MacLeish to write:

　　在那一時刻,他們從月球上發出的意願,激勵著詩人阿奇博爾德·麥克利什寫下了這樣的篇章:

　　"To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal3 silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold—brothers who know now they are truly brothers."

　　"在永恆的寧靜中,那渺小、藍色、美麗的地球在浮動。要真正地觀望地球,就得把我們自己都看作是地球的乘客,看作是一群兄弟,他們共處於漫漫的、寒冷的宇宙中。仰賴著光明的摯愛——這群兄弟懂得,而今他們是真正的兄弟。"

　　Our destiny offers, not the cup of despair, duanwenw but the chalice of opportunity. So let us seize it, not in fear, but in gladness —and "riders on the earth together", let us go forward, firm in our faith, steadfast in our purpose, cautious of the dangers, but sustained by our confidence in the will of God and the promise of man.

　　我們的命運所賜予的不是絕望之酒,而是機會之杯。因此,讓我們不是充滿恐懼,而是滿懷喜悅地去抓住這個機會——"地球的乘客們",讓我們以堅定的信念,朝著穩定的目標,在提防著危險中前進吧!我們對上帝的意志和人類的希望充滿了信心,這將使我們持之以恆。
