讀書小故事： 1.魯迅嚼辣椒驅寒： 魯迅先生從小認真學習。少年時，在江南水師學堂讀書，第一學期成績優異，學校獎給他一枚金質獎章。他立即拿到南京鼓樓街頭賣掉，然後買了幾本書，又買了一串紅辣椒。每當晚上寒冷時，夜讀難耐，他便摘下一顆辣椒，放在嘴裡嚼著，直辣得額頭冒汗。他就用這種辦法驅寒堅持讀書。由於苦讀書，後來終於成為我國著名的文學家。
2.侃誤把墨汁當小菜： 1915年，著名學者黃侃在北大主講國學。他住在北京白廟胡同大同公寓，終日潛心研究「國學」，有時吃飯也不出門，准備了饅頭和辣椒、醬油等佐料，擺在書桌上，餓了便啃饅頭，邊吃邊看書，吃吃停停，看到妙處就大叫：「妙極了！」有一次，看書入迷，竟把饅頭伸進了硯台、硃砂盒，啃了多時，塗成花臉，也未覺察，一位朋友來訪，捧腹大笑，他還不知笑他什麼定義
指學校（通常指小學）中為營造濃厚的讀書氛圍，讓學生在大量的閱讀實踐中豐富知識，開闊視野而開辦的報紙，一般會以彩色圖文並茂的方式活潑生動地表現出來，甚至可以通過閱讀富有人生哲理和智慧的文章，讓學生暢談自己的讀書感想和收獲，並撰寫自己的讀書心得，在紙上、黑板甚至牆上用硬筆書寫、美化，或者寫一些關於名人的著作，歇後語，成語接龍，故事，古詩，謎語等等。

怎樣寫
寫讀書名言，讀書計劃的注意事項，一個好文章的賞析或體會，可以加上一兩個小笑話，加上一些關於讀書的圖片。
讀書名言
「書籍是屹立在時間的汪洋大海中的燈塔。」——惠普爾
讀書有三到，謂心到，眼到，口到。心不在此，則眼看不仔細，心眼既不專一，卻只漫誦浪讀，決不能記，久也不能久也。三到之中，心到最急，心既到矣，眼口豈不到乎？——朱熹《訓學齋規》
書籍是全世界的營養品.(莎士比亞)
風聲、雨聲、讀書聲，聲聲入耳; 家事、國事、天下事，事事關心。—— 顧憲成 (明代學者)
退筆如山起足珍，讀書萬卷始通神。――蘇軾
讀書計劃注意
讀書計劃
1 找出要讀的書
2 時間安排 （每月幾本書 平均幾個星期看完）
3 每本書的作者的簡介
4 每本書的讀後感
文章賞析
作者好象是以一個西方人的口吻來寫作的，但無論如何還是脫不了自己東方女子的靈氣，最後一段「獨自歸來的路上，瘦影在地。——過去的一百二十分鍾，憧憬在我的心中，如同做了一場好夢」，怎麼看也這不可能是一個美國人的內心獨白。以我看來，作者寫這篇文章的目的概在於以國外人的視角來看一個旅居美國的中國女子的心底世界，但如果真是這樣，不得不說冰心在本文上並沒有獲得十足的成功。
如何正確讀書：博覽精讀是語文學習的根本方法,也是語文學習的優良傳統.在語文教學中,我們首先要教會學生學會選擇.如今的出版物浩如煙海,其中優秀作品不少,但也充斥著不少無聊甚至有害的文章.如果不加以選擇而一概接受,不僅會浪費學生的寶貴時間,還會危害孩子們的身心健康.我們要引導學生選擇那些適合中學生閱讀的書籍,如古今中外大家作品,科普文章,時文選萃等,把好閱讀第一關.
其次,要教給學生朗讀,默讀,精讀,跳讀,速讀,聽讀等多種閱讀方式,口眼耳神並用,高效率地完成閱讀任務.
第三,閱讀過程中,要教給學生培養成勾畫圈塗,不動筆墨不讀書的習慣.這可以幫助我們集中注意力,加深對關鍵語句的理解."書讀百遍,其義自現",只有反復地讀,反復地理解,才能准確地把握作者的創作意圖和文章的主旨.

名人讀書
◎魯迅嚼辣椒驅寒
魯迅先生從小認真學習。少年時,在江南水師學堂讀書,第一學期成績優異,學校獎一枚金質獎章.他立即拿到南京鼓樓街頭賣掉,然後買了幾本書,又買了一串紅辣椒。每當晚上寒冷時,夜讀難耐,他便摘下一顆辣椒,放在嘴裡嚼著,直辣得額頭冒汗。他就用這種辦法驅寒堅持讀書。由於苦讀書,後來終於成為我國著名的文學家。
◎王亞南苦讀成才
王亞南睡三腳床王亞南小時候胸有大志，酷愛讀書。他在讀中學時，為了爭取更多的時間讀書，特意把自己睡的木板床的一條腳鋸短半尺，成為三腳床。每天讀到深夜，疲勞時上床去睡一覺後迷糊中一翻身，床向短腳方向傾斜過去，他一下子被驚醒過來，便立刻下床，伏案夜讀。天天如此，從未間斷。結果他年年都取得優異的成績，被譽為班內的三傑之一。他由於少年時勤奮刻苦讀書，後來，終於成為我國傑出的經濟學家。
◎唐宋八大家之一的蘇東坡，年輕時自認為已無書不讀，便大書一聯：「識遍天下字；讀盡人間書。」後經一老翁指點，遂改成：「發奮識遍天下字；立志讀盡人間書。」
◎郭沫若曾寫過一副讀書聯：「讀不在三更五鼓，功只怕一曝十寒。」意思是說，讀書要靠平時下功夫，不能一心血來潮就加班加點搞突出。要想獲得成功，必須鍥而不舍，持之以恆，決不能時而勤奮時而懈怠，三天打魚兩天曬網。
◎華羅庚把讀書過程歸結為「由厚到薄」、「由薄到厚」兩個階段。當你對書的內容真正有了透徹的了解，抓住了全書的要點，掌握了全書的精神實質後，讀書就由厚變薄了，愈是懂得透徹，就愈有薄的感覺。如果在讀書過程中，你對各章節又作深入的探討，在每頁上加添註解，補充參考資料，那麼，書又會愈讀愈厚。因此，讀書就是由厚到薄，又由薄到厚的雙向過程。
侯寶林抄書
相聲語言大師侯寶林只上過三年小學，由於他勤奮好學，使他的藝術水平達到了爐火純青的程度，成為有名的語言專家。有一次，他為了買到自己想買的一部明代笑話書《謔浪》，跑遍了北京城所有的舊書攤也未能如願。後來，他得知北京圖書館有這部書，就決定把書抄回來。適值冬日，他頂著狂風，冒著大雪，一連十八天都跑到圖書館里去抄書，一部十多萬字的書，終於被他抄錄到手。
張廣厚吃書
數學家張廣厚有一次看到了一篇關於虧值的論文，覺得對自己的研究工作有用處，就一遍又一遍地反復閱讀。這篇論文共20多頁，他反反復復地念了半年多。因為經常的反復翻摸，潔白的書頁上，留下一條明顯的黑印。他的妻子對他開玩笑說，這哪叫念書啊，簡直是吃書。
高爾基救書
世界文豪高爾基對書感情獨深，愛書如命。有一次，他的房間失火了，他首先抱起的是書籍，其它的任何東西他都不考慮。為了搶救書籍，他險些被燒死。他說：「書籍一面啟示著我的智慧和心靈，一面幫助我在一片爛泥塘里站起來，如果不是書籍的話，我就沉沒在這片泥塘里，我就要被愚蠢和下流淹死。」
鑿壁借光
漢朝時，少年時的匡衡，非常勤奮好學。
由於家裡很窮，所以他白天必須干許多活，掙錢糊口。只有晚上，他才能坐下來安心讀書。不過，他又買不起蠟燭，天一黑，就無法看書了。匡衡心痛這浪費的時間，內心非常痛苦。
他的鄰居家裡很富有，一到晚上好幾間屋子都點起蠟燭，把屋子照得通亮。匡衡有一天鼓起勇氣，對鄰居說：「我晚上想讀書，可買不起蠟燭，能否借用你們家的一寸之地呢？」鄰居一向瞧不起比他們家窮的人，就惡毒地挖苦說：「既然窮得買不起蠟燭，還讀什麼書呢!」匡衡聽後非常氣憤，不過他更下定決心，一定要把書讀好。
匡衡回到家中，悄悄地在牆上鑿了個小洞，鄰居家的燭光就從這洞中透過來了。他借著這微弱的光線，如飢似渴地讀起書來，漸漸地把家中的書全都讀完了。
匡衡讀完這些書，深感自己所掌握的知識是遠遠不夠的，他想繼續看多一些書的願望更加迫切了。
附近有個大戶人家，有很多藏書。一天，匡衡卷著鋪蓋出現在大戶人家門前。他對主人說：「請您收留我，我給您家裡白幹活不報酬。只是讓我閱讀您家的全部書籍就可以了。」主人被他的精神所感動，答應了他借書的要求。
匡衡就是這樣勤奮學習的，後來他做了漢元帝的丞相，成為西漢時期有名的學者。
巴金的讀書方法
著名作家巴金的讀書方法十分奇特，因為他是在沒有書本的情況下進行的。讀書而無書的確算得天下一奇了，這到底是怎麼回事呢?巴金說：「我第二次住院治療，每天午睡不到一小時，就下床坐在小沙發上，等候護士同志兩點鍾來量體溫。我坐著，一動也不動，但並沒有打瞌睡。我的腦子不肯休息。它在回憶我過去讀過的一些書，一些作品，好像它想在我的記憶力完全衰退之前，保留下一點美好的東西。」
原來他的讀書法就是靜坐在那裡回憶曾經讀過的書。這樣有許多好處：
(1)不受條件限制，可以充分利用時間。巴金列舉了兩個例子：一個是蘇聯衛國戰爭期間，列寧格勒長期被德軍包圍的時候，有一位少女在日記中寫著「某某型，《安娜·卡列尼娜》」一類的句子。當時沒有電，也沒有蠟燭，整個城市實行燈火管制，她不能讀書，而是在黑暗中靜坐回憶書中的情節。托爾斯泰的小說幫助她度過了那些恐怖的黑夜。另一個例子是他自己在十年內亂中的親身經歷。他說：「『文革』期間要是造反派允許我寫日記，允許我照自己的意思寫日記，我的日記中一定寫滿了書名。人們會奇怪：我的書房給貼了封條，加上鎖，封閉了十年，我從哪裡找到那些書來閱讀?他們忘了人的腦子里有一個大倉庫，裡面儲存著別人拿不走的東西。」這兩個事例說明，在一切不具備正常讀書條件的情況下都可以「讀書」。
(2)溫故而知新。通過回憶，將過去讀過的書拿出來一點點地咀嚼，就象牛反芻一樣，能進一步消化吸收。每回憶一次都會有新的理解，新的認識，新的收獲。
(3)能夠不斷地從已讀過的書中吸取精神力量。巴金說：「我現在跟疾病作斗爭，也從各種各樣的作品中得到鼓勵……即使在病中我沒有精神閱讀新的作品，過去精神財富的積累也夠我這有限餘生消耗的。一直到死，人都需要光和熱。」
顧炎武自督讀書
「天下興亡，匹夫有責。」這個家喻戶曉的名言，是由明末清初的愛國主義思想家、著名學者顧炎武最先提出的。
顧炎武自幼勤學。他6歲啟蒙，10歲開始讀史書、文學名著。11歲那年，他的祖父蠡源公要求他讀完《資治通鑒》，並告誡說：「現在有的人圖省事，只瀏覽一下《綱目》之類的書便以為萬事皆了了，我認為這是不足取的。」這番話使顧炎武領悟到，讀書做學問是件老老實實的事，必須認真忠實地對待它。顧炎武勤奮治學，他採取了「自督讀書」的措施：首先，他給自己規定每天必須讀完的卷數；其次，他限定自己每天讀完後把所讀的書抄寫一遍。他讀完《資治通鑒》後，一部書就變成了兩部書；再次，要求自己每讀一本書都要做筆記，寫下心得體會。他的一部分讀書筆記，後來匯成了著名的《日知錄》一書；最後，他在每年春秋兩季，都要溫習前半年讀過的書籍，邊默誦，邊請人朗讀，發現差異，立刻查對。他規定每天這樣溫課200頁，溫習不完，決不休息。
毛主席怎樣讀書？
特殊愛好
幾十年來，毛主席一直很忙，可他總是擠出時間，哪怕是分分秒秒，也要用來看書學習。他的中南海故居，簡直是書天書地，卧室的書架上，辦公桌、飯桌、茶幾上，到處都是書，床上除一個人躺卧的位置外，也全都被書佔領了。
為了讀書，毛主席把一切可以利用的時間都用上了。在游泳下水之前活動身體的幾分鍾里，有時還要看上幾句名人的詩詞。游泳上來後，顧不上休息，就又捧起了書本。連上廁所的幾分鍾時間，他也從不白白地浪費掉。一部重刻宋代淳熙本《昭明文選》和其他一些書刊，就是利用這時間，今天看一點，明天看一點，斷斷續續看完的。
毛主席外出開會或視察工作，常常一帶向箱子書。途中列車震盪顛簸，他全然不顧，總是一手拿著放大鏡，一手按著書頁，閱讀不輟。到了外地，同在北京一樣，床上、辦公桌上、茶幾上、飯桌上都擺放著書，一有空閑就看起來。
毛主席晚年雖重病在身，仍不廢閱讀。他重讀了解放前出版的從延安帶到北京的一套精裝《魯迅全集》及其他許多書刊。
有一次，毛主席發燒到39度多，醫生不準他看書。他難過地說，我一輩子愛讀書，現在你們不讓我看書，叫我躺在這里，整天就是吃飯、睡覺，你們知道我是多麼地難受啊!工作人員不得已，只好把拿走的書又放在他身邊，他這才高興地笑了。
認真地學，反復地讀
毛主席從來反對那種只圖書、毛主席從來反對那種只圖快、不講效果的讀書方法。他在讀韓昌黎詩文全集時，除少數篇章外，都一篇篇仔細琢磨，認真鑽研，從詞彙、句讀、章節到全文意義，哪一方面也不放過。通過反復誦讀和吟詠，韓集的大部分詩文他都能流利地背誦。《西遊記》、《紅樓夢》、《水滸傳》、《三國演義》等小說，他從小學的時候就看過，到了六十年代又重新看過。他看過的《紅樓夢》的不同版本差不多有十種以上。一部《昭明文選》，他上學時訊，五真正十代讀，六十年代讀，到了七十年代還讀過好幾次。他批註的版本，現存的就有三種。
一些馬列、哲學方面的書籍，他反復讀的遍數就更多了。《聯共黨史》及李達的《社會學大綱》，他各讀了十遍。《共產黨宣言》、《資本論》、《列寧選集》等等，他都反復研讀過。許多章節和段落還作了批註和勾劃。
不動筆墨不看書
幾十年來，毛主席每閱讀一本書，一篇文章，都在重要的地方劃上圈、杠、點等各種符號，在書眉和空白的地方寫上許多批語。

"But, dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!"

The visitor smiled, put the cheese into his mouth and then said: "You must have better eyes than your mother, sonny. Where did you find the cheese?" "In the rat-trap, sir," replied the boy.
好客
由於客人在吃蘋果餡餅時，家裡沒有乳酪了，於是女主人向大家表示歉意。這家的小男孩悄悄地離開了屋子。過了一會兒，他拿著一片乳酪回到房間，把乳酪放在客人的盤子里。 客人微笑著把乳酪放進嘴裡說：「孩子，你的眼睛就是比你媽媽的好。你在哪裡找到的乳酪？」 「在捕鼠夾上，先生。」那小男孩說。

給你些資料：
1。關於拜年習俗的由來，傳說遠古時代有一種怪獸，頭頂長獨角，口似血盆，人們叫它做「年」。每逢臘月三十晚上,它便竄出山林，掠食噬人。人們只好備些肉食放在門外，然後把大門關上,躲在家裡，直到初一早晨,「年」飽餐後揚長而去，人們才開門相見，作揖道喜，互相祝賀
The Chinese New Year is traditional festival that China is rich with most the special features.It symbolizes the lunar calendar for old year to end.
New year has already start.The people will take leave cold monotonous of winter, greet the organic full of life spring.
A" New Year's Day" of Chinese New Year, a 杜 set 卿 says in 《 five candle treasure 典s 》 :" In order to carry the month, January it is a dollar on first day, as well cloud just dynasty, as well a 朔 of cloud."" Dollar" of original meaning is" head", lead the 申 behind in order to" start", because is a year of first day this day, the first day of the spring, the first day of the January, so be called" three dollars";Because is still a year old this day toward, month toward, day toward, so call" three dynasties" again;Again it is the first day of 朔 , so call" a 朔 " again.Wu of Sung explains in 《 the dream beam record 》 from the herding:" The January 朔 day, the New Year's Day that call".《 Say the text solution word 》 medium to" 旦 " word of hermeneutic for" see from the day an up, a, ground also." Meant the sun to just rise from the horizon rising, is a matutinal meaning.Because it means a year of the first morning respectively, the first morning of the January, so call" New Year's Day" and" positive 旦 "s.
In addition to above-mentioned title, the Chinese New Year still call" open the year"," begin a new year"," year old of 芳 "," year old of 華 " etc., in many titles with call" New Year's Day" the most widespread, time is most long-last.
Because of the previous dynasties style dissimilarity, the season of the New Year's Day place is also different.The style of the Chinese ancient times is a yin and yang to match the 歷 , need at the same time in consideration of the position of the sun and moon, past certain New Year's Day, need certain first it is in a certain season, then make selection with this season the close by month of 朔 is the New Year's Day.Because a years old proceeds together with 12 lunar calendar not equal, differ about 11 days, so separate 3 years to need to establish an intercalary month each
2.Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.
Preparations for the New Year begin the last few days of the last moon, when houses are thoroughly cleaned, debts repaid, hair cut and new clothes purchased. Houses are festooned with paper scrolls bearing auspicious antithetical couplet (as show on both side of the page) and in many homes, people burn incense at home and in the temples to pay respects to ancestors and ask the gods for good health in the coming months.
"Guo Nian," meaning "passing the year," is the common term among the Chinese people for celebrating the Spring Festival. It actually means greeting the new year. At midnight at the turn of the old and new year, people used to let off fire-crackers which serve to drive away the evil spirits and to greet the arrival of the new year. In an instant the whole city would be engulfed in the deafening noise of the firecrackers.
On New Year's Eve, all the members of families come together to feast. Jiaozi, a steamed mpling as pictured below, is popular in the north, while southerners favor a sticky sweet glutinous rice pudding called nian gao.

Overcast
The night before the examination
The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked gloomily before me at a huge pile of that disgusting stuff they call「books」.
I was going to have my examination the next day. 「When can I go to bed?」 I asked myself. I did not answer. In fact I dared not.
The clock struck 12.「Oh, dear!」I cried. 「Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!」We students are the most wretched creatures in the world.

A sunny day
I got up early today to watch the sunrise. While I waited for the sun to rise, I sat beside my window and thought of my future. Soon I will be a grown man and I won't be a baby anymore. Maybe I'll be going to college if I pass the college entrance examination. I didn't want to think of not passing this important examination, for my parents are counting on me to do so.
Anyway, if I don't pass this one I should try again next year. I thought about my parents too. They have worked so hard to give us children a good life. Now, they are getting older little by little. There are more grey hairs now in Mother's hair. As for my father, he's beginning to have a hard time reading the newspaper. He uses a pair of glasses now. All these thoughts touch me and tell me that time is indeed swiftly passing.
The sun was coming out of the horizon. First it was just a ray of light. But little by little the whole circle started coming into view. The sky was a bright orange with a blue haze surrounding the emptiness. Soon I could feel the warmth of the sun as its rays passed through my window pane. The view was really beautiful, more beautiful than any picture I had ever seen. In a few minutes everyone was awake and everyone went on their own way with their lives. Another day started and it was another beginning for all of us.

F. 英語手抄報用的..文章..
你好，先用鉛筆輕輕地在版面上畫上橫線和豎線，橫線和豎線的距離都是一個字的距離，這樣就會有一個個小格子，每個格子是一個字，這樣寫之前就知道這個版能寫多少字了，要先把字數定好。寫完以後再把鉛筆線擦掉。
出手抄報是非要打格子的，不但是為了控制字數，避免你說的那種抄到後面紙還剩很多或者抄到後面不夠了的情況，還可以使得版面整齊，如果不打格子，字就會歪歪扭扭，不在一行上，會很難看的。
另外我們以前出手抄報的時候，一般都用水彩顏料調成很淡的顏色（一般是淺藍色或者淺綠色），在紙上畫上抽象的圖案做背景，這樣出出來的手抄報，比光用鋼筆寫的美觀許多。

英語短文
A School-report
The father was reading the school-report which had just been handed to him by his hopeful son. His brow was wrathful as he read: "English, poor, French, weak, mathematics, mathematics, Fair," and he gave a glance of disgust at the quaking lad. "Wall, Dad." Said the son, "it is not as good as it might be, but have you seen that?" And he pointed to the next line, which read: "Health excellent."
學期總結
父親正在讀兒子剛剛交給他的學期總結，他的兒子滿懷希望的看著他，而他則生氣的讀著學期總結："英語,差;法語,中;數學,良."然後,他厭惡地看著那個正在抖動著身子的小子."恩,老爸."兒子說:"那沒有達到本來應該達到的優秀水平，不過你沒看到那兒？"他指著下一行，讀到："健康狀況，優秀。"

追隨你的夢想
Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart. Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.
追隨能夠改變你命運的那顆星，那顆永遠在你心中閃爍的明星。當它在你面前閃耀時，抓住這寶貴的機會。請謹記，只要你堅持不懈，最終的目標總能實現。
Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you've made, have faith in your judgment, catch the star that twinkles in your heart, and it will lead you to your destiny's path. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.
盡管實現夢想的途中有時會遇到障礙，要知道這是命運對你的挑戰。不是每個人都會贊成你的選擇，接受這個現實，並相信自我的判斷，追隨那顆在你心中閃爍的明星，它會引領你踏上命運的征途。堅持不懈，你就能享受那些幸福時刻。
Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination.
每前進一步，你都應引以為豪，因為它們是你實現夢想的階梯。要知道在這個過程中你也許會犯錯誤，但不要氣餒。珍視自我的潛能，因為它們使你獨一無二。生命中最珍貴的禮物不是花錢買來的，而是通過努力和決心而獲取的。
Find the star that twinkles in your heart for you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true. Give your hopes everything you've got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.
尋找心中那顆閃耀的明星，因為只有你自己才能夠讓美好的夢想變成現實。滿懷希望並全力以赴，你就能摘下改變命運的那顆星。
歲月是一把無情的刻刀，改變了我們的模樣，然而記憶中的那片湖水卻依然清澈如初，不曾改變。我們不能活在回憶里，卻不能忘記回憶，因為它是屬於我們每個人的財富。就讓回憶變成一本書，偶爾翻閱，還能感受到那份酸澀和純真。
Hour in the Sun
John H.Bradley
"…I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days."----- Henry David Thoreau
陽光下的時光
約翰•布萊德利
「……我雖然不富甲天下，卻擁有無數個艷陽天和夏日。」----亨利•大衛•梭羅
When Thoreau wrote that line, he was thinking of the Walden Pond he knew as a boy.
寫這句話時，梭羅想起孩提時代的瓦爾登湖。
Woodchoppers and the Iron Horse had not yet greatly damaged the beauty of its setting. A boy could go to the pond and lie on his back against the seat of a boat, lazily drifting from shore to shore while the loons dived and the swallows dipped around him. Thoreau loved to recall such sunny hours and summer days "when idleness was the most attractive and proctive business."
當時伐木者和火車尚未嚴重破壞湖畔的美麗景緻。小男孩可以走向湖中，仰卧小舟。自一岸緩緩漂向另一岸，周遭有鳥兒戲水，燕子翻飛。梭羅喜歡回憶這樣的艷陽天和夏日，「慵懶是最迷人也是最具生產力的事情！」
I too was a boy in love with a pond, rich in sunny hours and summer days. Sun and summer are still what they always were, but the boy and the pond changed. The boy, who is now a man, no longer find much time for idle drifting. The pond has been annexed by a great city.
我也曾經是熱愛湖塘的小男孩，擁有無數個艷陽天與夏日。如今陽光、夏日依舊，男孩和湖塘卻已改變。那男孩已長大成人，不再有那麼多時間泛舟湖上。而湖塘也為大城市所並。
The swamps where herons once hunted are now drained and filled with houses. The bay where water lilies quietly floated is now a harbor for motor boats. In short, everything that the boy loved no longer exists----except in the man's memory of it.
曾有蒼鷺覓食的沼澤，如今已枯竭殆盡，上面蓋滿了房舍。睡蓮靜靜漂浮的湖灣，現在成了汽艇的避風港。總之，男孩所愛的一切已不復存在----只留在人們的回憶中。
Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.
有些人堅持認為只有今日和明日才是重要的，可是如果真的照此生活，我們將是何其可憐！許多今日我們做的事徒勞不足取的，很快就會被忘記。許多我們期待明天將要做的事卻從來沒有發生過。
The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives.
過去是一所銀行。我們將最可貴的財產---記憶珍藏其中。記憶賜予我們生命的意義和深度。
Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days, because days enshrined in memory are never lost.
真正珍惜過去的人，不會悲嘆舊日美好時光的逝去。因為藏於記憶中的時光永不流失。
Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quite hour in the sun.
死亡本身無法止住一個記憶中的聲音，或擦除一個記憶中的微笑。對現已長大成人的那個男孩來說，那兒將有一個湖塘不會因時間和潮汐而改變，可以讓他繼續在陽光下享受安靜時光。
