英语经典名篇精选段落阅读

英语优美段落一 I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great 1)artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the 2)medium is the human mind and spirit. I shall speak only of my first teacher because 3)in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, bookwaving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn’t even seem to know it. We could never 4)stick to the subject. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths 5)shielded in our hands like 6)captured 7)fireflies. She was fired and perhaps 8)rightly so, for failing to teach 9)fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she 10)inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I could not do simple 11)arithmetic but through her I sensed that 12)abstract 13)mathematics was very much like music. When she was relieved, a sadness came over us but the light did not go out. She left her 14)signature on us, the literature of the teacher who writes on minds. I suppose that to a large extent I am the unsigned 15)manuscript of the high school teacher. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person. I can tell my son who looks forward with horror to fifteen years of 16)drudgery that somewhere in the 17)dusty dark a magic may happen that will 18)light up the years... if he is very lucky. 良师，乃人生一幸 我相信一名好老师就是一名伟大的艺术家，而且相信好的老师和伟大的 艺术家一样难得。教书也许是一门最伟大的艺术，因为它的媒体是人的大脑 和灵魂。 我特别要说一说我的第一位老师，她教会我们其他知识，也教会我们如 何探求知识。 她让我们大声讨论，挥舞着书本。她的课堂是全校最乱的课堂，而她对 此却好像全然不知。我们从不会拘泥于一个科目上。她培养我们的好奇心， 让我们自己去发现事实和真理，把它们攥在手中，像被捕捉的萤火虫一样。 她因未能教授我们基础知识而被解雇了，或许这理由很正当，因为这些 知识一定要学。但是她给我们留下了对纯粹的可知世界的热情;她燃起我求知 的热情，这种热情前所未有。我虽然不会计算简单的算术题，但是通过她， 我感到抽象的数学与音乐非常地相似。 当她被解聘时，我们都很难过，但是那片光明并没有消失。她给我们留 下她的签名，那是老师写在我们心中的作品。我想在很大程度上，我正是那 位中学老师未经签名的手稿。这样一个人拥有多么永恒的力量啊。 我可以告诉我那恐惧地等待 15 年寒窗之苦的儿子，如果他非常幸运的 话，在一片混沌黑暗中，也许会有神奇的事情发生，使他的学生时代一片光 明。 英语优美段落二 In the winter of 1997, I saw a Spanish film called Abre Los Ojos. I couldn't get it out of my mind. The movie felt like a folk song to me, part fable, part poem, partly a committed conversation that you'd have with someone late at night when big ideas flowed easily. I wanted to be a part of that conversation. As all movies do, Vanilla Sky, a title I thought had a kind of musical quality, acquired a driven 1)adrenalinalized personality all its own. Much of the same crew had worked on Almost Famous. We made the two movies 2)back to back and they couldn't have been more beautifully 3)dissimilar. Visuals mattered a lot on this one, especially the opening sequence where we emptied Times Square on an early November morning. Working with the great John Toll was key. He had been the 4)cinematographer on Almost Famous and while that movie had a free flowing documeturish feel, this one would be even more demanding. Not a shot would go unplanned, not an image wasted. The goal was a movie filled with clues and 5)signposts, kind of like the cover of 6)Sergeant Pepper, every time you look at it, you might see something different. We all 7)pitched in to tell this odd and 8)intoxicating story about dreams and reality. Often after we'd rapped for the evening, many of us still stayed behind and talked about the layers of the movie even while we were making it. Not quite 2 years later, we still do. Vanilla Sky isn't obvious. It's a movie to be watched closely, but it's also a movie you can let wash over you. It's a story, a puzzle, a nightmare, a 9)lucid dream, a 10)psychedelic pop song, a movie to argue over and most of all, a movie that extends an invitation. Wherever you want to meet it, it will meet you there. 梦的序言 ——《香草的天空》 1997 年冬天，我看了一部西班牙电影《睁开你的双眼》。难以磨灭的 印象。电影带给我民谣般的感受，像寓言，又像诗歌，也像朋友间在深夜一 次灵感飞溅的谈话。我很想加入到这样的谈话中。正如所有的电影一样，我 觉得《香草的天空》这个片名富有乐感，蕴含着一种令人躁动的特质。片组 人员基本是制作《近乎成名》的同一班子。我们接连拍出这两部电影，让它 们焕发出迥然不同的美。《香草的天空》非常看重视觉效果，尤其是在片头， 我们清空了十一月一个早晨的时代广场。能和优秀的约翰 •托尔一起合作举托尔一起合作举 足轻重。他是《近乎成名》的摄影师，将那部电影拍出一种挥洒自如的记录 片感觉，《香草的天空》则要求更高。没有哪个镜头不经过周详计划，没有 哪个画面是多余的。 我们的目标做出一部贯穿线索和征兆的影片，就像《佩铂军士》的封面， 每看一次都会有新的收获。我们都很投入地来讲述这个奇特而迷人的故事， 关于梦境和现实的故事。我们常常是在晚上进行交流，之后还有很多人留下 来商讨电影的表现手法，甚至一边拍摄一边讨论。两年后还是依然如此。 《香草的天空》不是部浅显的电影。它既能让你用心细品，也可以点到 即止。它是一个故事，一个谜语，一个梦魇，一个清晰的梦，一首迷幻般的 流行歌，是一部具争议的影片，最重要的是--这电影发出一张邀请函，无论 何地，只要你愿意，就会看到。
