8、 came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing the little food they had the couple let the angles sleep in their bed where they could have a good nights rest.

9、only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.

12、 find the courage to let that person know how you feel. 只有付出的爱是痛苦的，但比这更痛苦是爱一个人却没有勇气让那人知道你的感情。 A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you，only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go. 生命中令人悲伤的一件事是你遇到了一个对你来说很重要的人，但却最终发现你们有缘无份，因此你不得不放手。

13、The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with，never say a word，and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation youve ever had. 最好的朋友就是那种能和你促膝而坐，彼此不说只字片语，分别时却感到 It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone，an hour to like someone，and a day to love someone- but

14、 it takes a lifetime to forget someone. 迷上某人只需一分钟，喜欢上某人需要一小时，爱上某人则要一天，然而，忘记某人却是一辈子的事情。 Dont go for looks；they can deceive. Dont go for wealth；even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. 别倾心于容貌，因为它具有欺骗性，也别倾心于财富，它也会消散，倾心于那个能带给你

15、笑容的人吧，因为一个笑容能使漫漫长夜如白昼般明亮。 Dream what you want to dream；go where you want to go；be what you want to be，because you have only one life and one chance to do all the thingsyou want to do. 做你想做的梦吧，去你想去的地方吧，成为你想成为的人吧，因为你只有一次生命，一个机会去做所有那些你想做的事。 Always put yourself in the others shoes.

17、the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. 幸福之人并非拥有一切，只是尽力享受生活的赐予。 Love begins with a smile，grows with a kiss，ends with a tear. When you were born，you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die，youre the one smil

18、ing and everyone around you is crying. 爱情以笑开始，以吻转浓，以泪结束。当你哭着降临人世时，身边的每个人都在为此欢笑，好好生活吧，这样你就能含笑离开人世， 而身边的每个人都在为此哭泣。篇三：英语哲理短文 英语哲理短文 第一篇：A Grain of Sand 一粒沙子 William Blake/威廉.布莱克 To see a world in a grain of sand， And a heaven in a wild fllower， Hold infinity in the palm of your hand， And eternity in an

19、 hour. 从一粒沙子看到一个世界， 从一朵野花看到一个天堂， 把握在你手心里的就是无限， 永恒也就消融于一个时辰。 第二篇：love Your life 热爱生活 Hey David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗 However mean your life is，meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in p

23、 keep your thoughts. 不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手

24、段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。 第三篇： The pure.the bright，the beautiful， 一切纯洁的，辉煌的，美丽的， That stirred our hearts in youth， 强烈地震撼着我们年轻的心灵的， The impulses to wordless prayer， 推动着我们做无言的祷告的， The dreams of love and truth; 让我们梦想着爱
