李陽(yáng)瘋狂英語(yǔ)曾經(jīng)提出了一個(gè)非常好的理念,那就是大聲朗讀,千萬(wàn)別不好意思,也別覺(jué)得自己發(fā)音不好聽(tīng),只要敢于大聲讀出來(lái),就是進(jìn)步的。今天聽(tīng)力課堂分享的英語(yǔ)精美散文,讓我們一起大聲讀出來(lái)吧。

雨中的記憶 Run through the rain
She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth, it has no time to flow down the spout.
她和媽媽剛在沃爾瑪結(jié)束購(gòu)物。這個(gè)天真的小女孩應(yīng)該6歲大了,頭發(fā)是美麗的棕色,臉上有雀斑。外面下著傾盆大雨。雨水溢滿(mǎn)了檐槽,來(lái)不及排走,就迫不及待地涌漲上地面。
We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We all waited, some patiently, others irritated, because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
我們都站在沃爾瑪門(mén)口的遮篷下。大家都在等待,有人很耐心,有人很煩躁,因?yàn)槔咸煸诮o他們本已忙碌的一天添亂。雨天總引起我的遐思。我出神地聽(tīng)著、看著老天沖刷洗滌這世界的污垢和塵埃,孩時(shí)無(wú)憂無(wú)慮地在雨中奔跑玩水的記憶洶涌而至,暫時(shí)緩解了我一天的焦慮。
Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, “Mom, let's run through the rain." she said.
小女孩甜美的聲音打破了這令人昏昏欲睡的氣氛,“媽媽?zhuān)覀冊(cè)谟昀锱馨伞?rdquo;她說(shuō)。
"What?" Mom asked.
“什么?”母親問(wèn)。
"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.
“我們?cè)谟昀锱馨桑?rdquo;她重復(fù)。
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit." Mom replied.
“不,親愛(ài)的,我們等雨小一點(diǎn)再走。”母親回答說(shuō)。

The unseen power of love 無(wú)形的愛(ài)的力量
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
我要用全身心的愛(ài)來(lái)迎接今天。
For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.
因?yàn)?,這是一切成功的最大秘密。強(qiáng)力能夠劈開(kāi)一塊盾牌,甚至毀滅生命,但是只有愛(ài)才具有無(wú)與倫比的力量,使人們敞開(kāi)心扉。在掌握了愛(ài)的藝術(shù)之前,我只算商場(chǎng)上的無(wú)名小卒。我要讓愛(ài)成為我最大的武器,沒(méi)有人能抵擋它的威力。
My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.
我的理論,他們也許反對(duì);我的言談,他們也許懷疑;我的穿著,他們也許不贊成;我的長(zhǎng)相,他們也許不喜歡;甚至我廉價(jià)出售的商品都可能使他們將信將疑,然而我的愛(ài)心一定能溫暖他們,就像太陽(yáng)的光芒能溶化冰冷的凍土。
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
我要用全身心的愛(ài)來(lái)迎接今天。
And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
我該怎樣做呢?從今往后,我對(duì)一切都要滿(mǎn)收愛(ài)心,這樣才能獲得新生。我愛(ài)太陽(yáng),它溫暖我的身體;我愛(ài)雨水。它洗凈我的靈魂;我愛(ài)光明,它為我指引道路;我也愛(ài)黑夜,它讓我看到星辰、我迎接快樂(lè),它使我心胸開(kāi)闊;我忍受悲傷,它升華我的靈魂;我接受報(bào)酬。因?yàn)槲覟榇烁冻龊顾?我不怕困難,因?yàn)樗鼈兘o我挑戰(zhàn)。
有時(shí)候在讀一篇英語(yǔ)精美散文時(shí),你可能會(huì)覺(jué)得不太好理解,畢竟英文和中文從語(yǔ)法和表達(dá)方式上都是有著明顯區(qū)別的,但聽(tīng)力課堂的老師們則建議大家不用過(guò)分糾結(jié)于是否理解,而是應(yīng)該先從感受英文和適應(yīng)英文做起。
