英语美文摘抄篇1

       The gas station nearest my house happens to face a strip club. It is apparently a verysuccessful strip club, as they could afford to install a LCD screen on their roof that might bevisible from the Space Station. It"s certainly visible from the gas station. At some point myeyes will drift up while pumping gas, and there will be a one-story image of a young woman insome stage of near-undress.

　　离我家最近的加油站对面碰巧有一家脱衣舞夜总会。这家夜总的屋顶装了一个巨大的LED屏幕，说不定在太空上都看得见。能够支付这样的费用，看来经营得非常成功。不用说，在加油站也能看见那块屏幕。在加油的时候，我会不经意地往上看，一层楼高的屏幕上显示着一个几乎一丝不挂的少女。

　　As I was getting some gas this morning, I wondered for the first time what a woman pumpinggas thought when she looked at that screen. Though it would depend on the woman, Ithought. A woman who had once been an exotic dancer herself would certainly look at thatimage differently than a Catholic nun.

　　今天早上，我又来到这里加油，脑海中突然有一个问题挥之不去：一个女人来加油的时候看到那块屏幕会有什么想法呢?我觉得那要看她是个怎样的人。曾经当过脱衣舞者的女人和天主教的修女肯定会对那个图像有不同的看法。

　　The image would look different to each of us. And when I say look different, I mean we would beseeing what amounts to a different image. For while the young woman"s pose and attire that Isee are identical to the pose and attire that every other man, woman, and child sees, the storythat image tells me is told uniquely by me, by my own ideas about women and advertising andmaybe even gas stations.

　　那张图像对每个人来说都是不一样的，这个不一样是指我们会产生不一样的想法。虽然那个少女的姿势打扮在每一个男人、女人、小孩眼中都是一样的，但是我在那图像中捕捉到的故事是独一无二的，是由我自身对女人、广告、甚至是加油站的想法创造的。

　　The image is nothing; the story is everything. Good to remember if you"re a writer. Writersdon"t report the facts. The fact that there is a strip club with a giant LCD screen blazing near-nudity for all to see means nothing in reality. All that ever matters is what a person believeswhen they look upon it. What a person believes is the terrain of the storyteller.

　　图像本身什么都不是，故事才是一切。如果你是个作家，你会知道作家并不是描写现实。那儿有一家脱衣舞夜总会，屋顶上有一块巨大的LED屏幕，屏幕上显示着几近裸体的少女，这是现实，没有意义的现实。真正有意义的是人看到这个景象时萌生的想法，人的思想是创作故事的土壤。

　　And by the way, it is the only terrain of the storyteller. Storytellers, whether they areconscious of it or not, wish to alter reality. We are not so interested in changing the imagethat flashes on the great LCD screen of the world. Mostly that"s beyond our control. We couldmarch, or protest, or fill out petitions to get the screen changed, but it"s faster, ultimately, totell ourselves a story about what we see there.

　　而且，思想是创作故事的唯一土壤。讲故事的人会有意无意地想去改变现实。我们不是想把现实中大屏幕上惹眼的图像换掉，大多数情况下我们都是有心无力。我们当然可以游行示威，写信请愿把那屏幕换掉，但说到底，更快捷的办法是给自己讲个跟眼前的事物有关的故事。

　　I sometimes forget I have to power to change that story. My mind drifts as idly from thought tothought as my eyes drift from gas pump to pinup. What occurs in this exchange between theworld I look upon and the story I tell can happen so fast, can be so habitual, that I can losetrack of who is telling the story I am hearing. The moment I remember, the moment I see mymind as a blank page on which to write my life, I am the author once more, and my life is mineagain.

　　有时候我会忘记自己有改变故事的能力。我的视线四处游动，从汽油管飘忽到半裸少女，我的思维也跟着漫不经心地跳跃。把眼前的事实创作成的自己故事，这就像我的习惯一样，一眨眼的功夫，我已经分不清我到底是在创作故事，还是成为了故事的主人公。等我回过神来的时候，等我空白的脑海重新回想起自己生活的时候，我又重新成为故事的作者，重新回到了自己的生活中。

　　Whyisthis?Thereasonisthatthestrangeandbittermiracleoflifeisnowhereelsesoevidentasinouryouth.Andwhatistheessenceofthatstrangeandbittermiracleoflifewhichwefeelsopoignant，sounutterable，withsuchabitterpainandjoy，whenweareyoung?It"sthis：thatbeingrich，wearesopoor；thatbeingmighty，wecanyethavenothing；thatseeing，breathig，smelling，tastingallaroundustheimpossiblewealthandgloryofthisearth，feelingwithanintolerablecertitudethatthewholestructureoftheenchantedlife–themostfortunate，wealthy，good，andhappylifethatanymanhaseverknown–isours–isoursatonce，immediatelyandforever，themomentthatwechoosetotakeastep，orstretchahand，orsayaword——weyetknowthatwecanreallykeep，hold，take，andpossessforever——nothing.Allpasses；nothinglasts：themomentthatweputourhanduponit，itmeltsawaylikesmoke，isgoneforever，andthesnakeiseatingatourheartagain；weseethenwhatweareandwhatourlivesmustcometo.

　　为什么如此？因为在青春时代，生活充满了奇特而辛酸的不可思议的事。我们在青春年少时带着悲喜交集的心情，十分强烈而不可名状地感受到人生的奇特辛酸、不可思议的经历。其实质是什么呢？其实质是这样的：青春年少的时候，虽然殷实富足，却非常贫穷；虽然力气强大，却一无所有；世间的富贵荣华触目皆是，简直可以呼吸到，闻到嗅到，还可以品尝到，心中的自信按捺不住，深切地感受到整个被陶醉了的生活——人类迄今为止所知道的`最幸运、最富有的美好幸福的生活，只要我们决定向前迈步，奋发努力，便立即归我们所有了，并将永远属于我们。然而，我们知道，我们真的永远不能抓到什么，永远不能获得什么，永远不能占有什么。一切匆匆过去，荡然无存。我们一出手它就烟消云散，飘然而去，一去不复返了。于是，心中泛起阵阵隐痛，看到了自己真实的面孔，看到了自己未来生活的必然走向。

　　有时生活既艰难，又难懂，但无论你面对着怎样的障碍，都要记住你有跨越它们的能力。有时候力量源自你的固执和决绝，但更多的时候，吸取以前的教训，聪明地绕过障碍是你潜在的更大力量。要像火一样勇猛无畏，歼灭一切眼前障碍;更要像水一样具有柔中带刚的力量，安静地绕过挫折，获得胜利。
