2、hysical life.Fi_ upon it in one of its more e_quisite intervals，the moment，for instance，of delicious recoil from the flood of water in summer heat.What is the whole physical life in that moment but a bination of natural elements to which science gives their names?But these elements，phosphorus and li

3、me and delicate fibers，are present not in the human body alone：we detect them in places most remote from it.Our physical life is a perpetual motion of them-the passage of the blood，the wasting and repairing of the lenses of the eye，the modification of the tissues of the brain under every ray of ligh

4、t and sound-processes which science reduces to simpler and more elementary forces.Like the elements of which we are posed，the action of these forces e_tends beyond us：it rusts iron and ripens corn.Far out on every side of us those elements are broadcast，driven in many currents;and birth and gesture

5、and death and the springing of violets from the grave are but a few out of ten thousand resultant binations.That clear，perpetual outline of face and limb is but an image of ours，under which we group them a design in a web，the actual threads of which pass out beyond it.This at least of flame-like our

6、 life has，that it is but the concurrence，renewed from moment to moment，of forces parting sooner or later on their ways.生命美于变化将所有事物和事物的原那么统统归结为经常变化着的形态或风气，这已日益成为近代思想界的一个趋势。我们可以从我们的生理活动等外表的事情说起。举个例子来说，选定在酷暑中猛然浸入滔滔清流的一刹那和感觉极其愉快的这么一个微妙的时刻。在那一瞬间的所有生理活动，难道不可以说是具有科学名称的各种元素的一种化合作用吗?但是，像磷、石灰、微细的纤维质等这些元素，不仅存在

7、于人体之中，而且在与人体没有丝毫关系的地方也能检查出它们的存在。血液的流通，眼睛中水晶体的消耗和恢复，每一道光波、每一次声浪对于脑组织所引起的变异-都不外是这些元素永久的运动。但是科学把这些运动过程复原为更为简单和根本力量的作用。正如我们身体所赖以构成的元素所形成的我们的生理活动的力量，这些力量在我们身体以外也同样发挥着作用-它可以使铁生锈，使谷物成熟。这些元素，在种种气流吹送之下，从我们身外向四面八方传播：人的诞生，人的姿态，人的死亡，以及在人的坟头上生长出紫罗兰-这不过是成千上万化合结果的点滴例子而已。人类那轮廓清楚、长久不变的面颜和肢体，不过是一种表象，在它那框架之内，我们好把种种化合的

8、元素凝聚一团-这好似是蛛网的纹样，那织网的细丝从网中穿出，又引向他方。在这一点上，我们的生命有些像那火焰-它也是种种力量集合的结果，这集合虽不断延续，那些力量却早晚要各自飘散。经典英语好文章摘抄篇二The Date Father Didnt Keep (父亲践约)It happened in one of those picturesque Danish taverns that cater to tourists and where English is spoken.I was with my father on a business-and-pleasure trip，and in ou

20、 his arm around my shoulders，looked at me with a heart-warming smile，and said，“I was doubly lucky，young fellow，for otherwise I wouldn‘t have met you，either!”经典英语好文章摘抄篇三改变一生的邂逅Isn‘t it amazing how one person，sharing one idea，at the right time and place can change the course of you

21、r lifes history?This is certainly what happened in my life.When I was 14，I was hitchhiking from Houston，Te_as，through El Paso on my way to California.I was following my dream，journeying with the sun.I was a high school dropout with learning disabilities and was set on surfing the biggest waves in th

22、e world，first in California and then in Hawaii，where I would later live.Upon reaching downtown El Paso，I met an old man，a bum，on the street corner.He saw me walking，stopped me and questioned me as I passed by.He asked me if I was running away from home，I suppose because I looked so young.I told him，

23、“Not e_actly，sir，”since my father had given me a ride to the freeway in Houston and given me his blessings while saying，“It is important to follow your dream and what is in your heart.Son.”The bum then asked me if he could buy me a cup of coffee.I told him，“No，sir，but a soda would be great.”We walke
