1、经典英语散文阅读大全英语散文:The colour of sky 天空的颜色 The colour of sky 天空的颜色 If we look at the sky on a perfectly fine summers day we shall find that the blue colour is the most pure and intense overhead,and when looking high up in a direction opposite to the sun. 晴空万里的夏日,假如我们视察一下天空,且背向太阳,极目仰视,就会发觉头顶上空的蓝色最纯净,最浓郁。
2、 Near the horizon it is always less bright,while in the region immediately around the sun it is more or less yellow. The reason of this is that near the horizon we look through a very great thickness of the lower atmosphere,which is full of the larger dust particles reflecting white light,and this d
3、iluter(稀释剂) the pure blue of the higher atmosphere seen beyond,and in the vicinity(邻近,旁边) of the sun a good deal of the blue light is reflected back into space by the finer dust,thus giving a yellowish tinge to that which reaches us reflected chiefly from the coarse dust of the lower atmosphere. 靠近天
4、涯,色调往往较暗淡,太阳四周的地方则略呈.这是因为我们向天涯望去时,目光要穿过极厚的低空大气层,其中布满颗粒较大的尘埃,反射出白光,这就冲淡了天际高空大气层的纯蓝色。在太阳旁边,大量蓝光则由微小的尘埃反射回太空。这样,主要由低空大气层的粗粒尘埃反射到地面的光线,便带有浅. At sunset and sunrise,however,this last effect is greatly intensified,owing to the great thickness of the strata(岩层) of air through which the light reaches us. The
5、 enormous amount of this dust is well shown by the fact that then only we can look full at the sun,even when the whole sky is free from clouds and there is no apparent mist. 不过,在日出日落时,由于光线到达地面南非要穿过厚厚的大气层,这种反射效果大大增加了。只有在这种时候,我们才可以直视太阳,即使万里长空没有一点云彩,不见一丝雾霭。这就充分显示了低空尘埃的数量之大。 But the sun's rays then
6、reach us after having passed,first,through an enormous thickness of the higher strata of the air,the minute dust of which reflects most of the higher strata of the air,the minute dust of which reflects most of the blue rays away from us,leaving the complementary yellow light to pass on,Then,the some
7、what coarser dust reflects the green rays,leaving a more orange-coloured light to pass on;and finally some of the yellow is reflected,leaving almost pure red. 但是太阳的光线最终到达了地面。它们先是穿过厚度极大的高空大气层,其中的微小尘埃把大部分蓝色的光反射掉了,让补色的黄光接着通行。然后,粗粒尘埃又反射掉绿色的光,让偏橙色的光接着通行。最终,部分.光也反射掉,剩下几乎是纯红色的了。 But owing to the constant p
8、resence of air currents,arranging both the dust and vapor(水蒸气) in strata of varying extent and density,and of high or low clouds which both absorb and reflect the light in varying degrees,we see produced all those wondrous combinations of tints and those gorgeous ever-changing colours which are a co
9、nstant source of admiration and delight to all who have the advantage of an uninterrupted view to the west and who are accustomed to watch for those not infrequent exhibitions of natures kaleidoscopic colour painting. 不过,由于不断出现气流,把法埃与水汽分层排列,广度不均,密度各异,加上凹凸空常有云层,不同程度地汲取并反射阳光,我们这才看到各种奇异的色调斑剥陆离,诸多绚丽的色调改
10、变万千;任何人只要有幸将西方的景致一览 无余,只要有心观看大自然时常呈现的那一幅幅瞬息万变的彩画,都会为之赞叹不已,乐不可支。 With every change in the altitude of the sun the display changes its character;and most of all when it has sunk below the horizon,and owing to the more favourable angles a larger quantity of the coloured light is reflected toward us. Es
11、pecially when there is a certain amount of cloud is this the case. 随着夕阳缓缓西坠,这种景观也不断变化;尤其是在太阳沉入地平线之后,由于角度更加相宜,五彩缤纷的光就都放射到地面上来。遇有些许云雾,更是如此。 These,so long as the sun was above the horizon,intercepted much of the light and colour,but when the great luminary(发光体) has passed away from our direct vision,hi
12、s light shines more directly on the under sides of all the clouds and air strata of different densities;a new and more brilliant light flushes the western sky,and a display of gorgeous ever-changing tints occurs which are at once the delight of the beholder(观看者,旁观者) and the despair of the artist. An
13、d all this unsurpassable glory(壮丽,壮美) we owe to-dust! 原来,只要太阳还位于地平线之上,云雾便截住了不少夕阳和色调;而今太阳从我们的视野消逝,阳关便更为干脆地照耀到密度各异的重重云霭与层层大气的底部;一片崭新的、更加绚丽的阳光染红了西天,一幅景观色调绚丽,改变万千,欣赏者当然赏心悦目,然而自叹莫及。而我们之所以能领会如此无与伦比的美景,全应归功于-尘埃! 英语散文:母爱的真谛-恒久不懊悔 Time is running out for my friend. While we are sitting at lunch she casually
14、mentions she and her husband are thinking of starting a family. We're taking a survey,she says, half-joking. Do you think I should have a baby? It will change your life, I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral. I know,she says, no more sleeping in on weekends, no more spontaneous holidays. But
15、that's not what I mean at all. I look at my friend, trying to decide what to tell her. I want her to know what she will never learn in childbirth classes. I want to tell her that the physical wounds of child bearing will heal, but becoming a mother will leave her with an emotional wound so raw t
16、hat she will be vulnerable forever. I consider warning her that she will never again read a newspaper without thinking: What if that had been MY child? That every plane crash, every house fire will haunt her. That when she sees pictures of starving children, she will wonder if anything could be wors
17、e than watching your child die. I look at her carefully manicured nails and stylish suit and think that no matter how sophisticated she is, becoming a mother will reduce her to the primitive level of a bear protecting her cub. I feel I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested i
18、n her career, she will be professionally derailed by motherhood. She might arrange for child care, but one day she will be going into an important business meeting, and she will think her baby's sweet smell. She will have to use every ounce of discipline to keep from running home, just to make s
19、ure her child is all right. I want my friend to know that every decision will no longer be routine. That a five-year-old boy's desire to go to the men's room rather than the women's at a restaurant will become a major dilemma. The issues of independence and gender identity will be weighe
20、d against the prospect that a child molester may be lurking in the lavatory. However decisive she may be at the office, she will second-guess herself constantly as a mother. Looking at my attractive friend, I want to assure her that eventually she will shed the added weight of pregnancy, but she wil
