英语哲理文章精选合集19篇

An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

[简单的英语作文哲理

The significant inscription found on an old key "If I rest, I rust" would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest taint of idleness. Even the most industrious might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示：如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture --- every department of human endeavor.

有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业：科学，艺术，文学，农业等。

Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer

勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家爱德蒙斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为著名的天文学家。

Labor vanquishes all --- not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor, but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。

In the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期,770-476 BC), in the State of Qi there was a man who always let his imagination run away with him.

春秋战国时期，杞国有个人喜欢胡思乱想。

One day he even worried that the sky would fall on his head. He was so worried that he could neither eat nor sleep.

一天，他竟然担忧天会塌下来，地会陷下去，自己无处存身。这个人越想越害怕，便整天愁眉苦脸，坐立不安，睡不好觉，吃不下饭。

Later, someone persuade him that his fears were groundless.

后来，有个人就去开导他，那个杞国人听后，才放下了心。

This idioms satirizes those who worry unnecessarily.

成语杞人忧天讥笑那些没有必要或毫无根据的忧虑。

once upon a time, the circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching.Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

The lesson of the story was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some says a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to hope, to nourish his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had.

There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.

A great and wise man once called one of his workmen to him saying, "Go into the far country and build for me a house. The decisions of planning and of actual construction will be yours, but remember, I shall come to accept your work for a very special friend of mine."

And so the workman departed with a light heart for his field of labor. Material of all kinds was plentiful here, but the workman had a mind of his own. "Surely," he thought, "I know my business. I can use a bit of inferior materials here and cheat on my workmanship a little there, and still make the finished work look good. Only I will know that what I have built has weaknesses."

And so, at last the work was completed and the workman reported back to the great and wise man. "Very good," he said. "Now remember that I wanted you to use only the finest materials and craftsmanship in this house because I wanted to make present of it——My friend, you are the one I had you build it for. It is all yours."

How much like man. He comes to earth a stranger. He has his free agency. He may build as he likes. But on the morning of his resurrection he will receive what he has built for an eternal home and habitation.

父子二人经过五星级饭店门口，看到一辆十分豪华的进口轿车。

儿子不屑地对他的父亲说：「坐这种车的人，肚子里一定没有学问!」

父亲则轻描淡写地回答：说这种话的人，口袋里一定没有钱

(注：你对事情的看法，是不是也反映出你内心真正的态度?)

After his father five-star hotel door and saw a very luxury imported cars.

Son of disdain for his father, said: "The people who take such a vehicle, necessarily Moyouxuewen stomach!"

Father answered lightly: say such things, certainly no money pocket

(Note: Your view of things, is not it also reflects the real attitude of your heart?)

Let me take it down

An elephant said to a mouse ,"no doubt that you are the smallest znd most useless thing that Ihave e ver seen ."

"Pless ,say it again .Let me take it down ."the mouse said ."I will tell a flea what I know."

为我所用

一头大象对一只小老鼠说：“你无疑是我见过的最小、最没用的东西。”

“请再说一遍，让我把它记下来。”老鼠说。“我要讲给我认识的一只跳蚤听。

Teacher:Why are you late for school every morning?

Tom:Every time I come to the corner,a sign says,"School-Go slow".

老师:为什么你每天早晨都迟到?

汤姆:每当我经过学校的拐角处,僦看见一个牌子仩写着"学校----慢行".

(只为成功找方法，不为失败找理由)

Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away or trying to mask the hurt. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it. When we run away from sadness that’s unfolding in our lives, it gets stronger and more real. We take an emotion that’s fleeting and make it a solid event, instead of something that passes through us.

当生活中出现痛苦的事情时，别再逃跑或隐藏痛苦，试着拥抱它吧;当悲伤来袭时，试着深呼吸，然后直面它。如果我们一味逃避生活中的悲伤，悲伤只会变得更强烈更真实——悲伤原本只是稍纵即逝的情绪，我们却固执地耿耿于怀。

[描写哲理的英语作文

前段时间，单位有位大姐拿着一个英语句子问我语法。我非常好奇，一个已经到了中年的妇女居然还在不断学习英语!她说自己坚持学习有6年了，到现在有一万多的词汇量，刚开始的英语底子就是26个英文字母。在日本留学的儿子告诉她，新概念是非常好的教材，他就开始自学新概念，新概念英语读的朗朗上口。我在她办公室桌上看有本新概念英语四，随手拿起来一看，上面密密麻麻全是注释，音标、词义、语法等等写的非常详细，她把新概念的每一个句子都详细的分析过!她说自己学习英语主要是工作以外的时间，办公室有活儿了就抓紧时间把工作做完，因为没有上网、玩游戏的爱好，工作之外的时间就用学英语来“打发”，办公室里有电脑，所以有时也会跟着录音读。

我问她为什么都到中年了还要坚持学外语呢，她回答的很有意思——以后要是当奶奶了，不想让孙子看到自己的奶奶啥都不懂。

一位中年妇女没有任何英语底子，居然可以不为过级，不为升学，毫无功利心的学习英语，年轻的我们会有何感想?大学的时候诵读《道德经》，老子的无为思想我至今无法理解，后来我想这种精心耕耘，不问收获，毫无功利心的去做一件事儿，是不是就是对道家无为思想的一种解释?年轻的我们又该如何?这或许正是她给予我们年轻人的力量和意义!

A man of the state of Zheng wanted to buy a pair of shoes.

从前，郑国有个人想买双鞋。

He measured his foot and put the measurement on a chair.

他量好了自己脚的尺码，把它放在了椅子上。

When he set out for the market,he forgot to bring it along.

可当他赶往市集时，却忘了带量好的尺码。

It was after he had found the pair he wanted that this occurred to him.

他要买鞋时，才想了起来。

"I forgot the measurement", said he.

他说：“我忘带尺码了。”

He went home to get it. But when he returned, the market had closed and he did not get his shoes after all.

他回家去取量好的尺码。等他赶回来时，市集已经关了，他还是没能买到鞋。

"Why didnt you try on the shoes with your feet?" He was asked.

有人问：“为什么不用你自己的脚去试一试鞋子呢?”

"Id rather trust the measurement than trust myself."

他说：“我宁愿相信尺码也不相信我自己的脚。”

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down.

And if that weren‘t enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"

In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away.

But instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "It sure smells pretty and it‘s beautiful, too. That‘s why I picked it; here, it‘s for you."

The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."

But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, He held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.

I heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one. "You‘re welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, Unaware of the impact he‘d had on my day.

I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged plight? Perhaps from his heart, he‘d been blessed with true sight.

Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that‘s mine.

And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose And smiled as that young boy, another weed in his hand About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

Human growth is a process of experimentation， trial， and error ultimately leading to wisdom。 Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action， you can never quite be certaion how the situation will turn out。 Sometimes you are victorious， and sometimes you become disillusioned。

The failed experiments， however， are no less valuable than the experiments that ultimately prove successful； in fact， you usually learn more from your perceived "failures" than you do from your perceived "success"。

If you have made what you perceive to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own expectations， you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong—doer。 However， perceiving past actions as mistakes implies guilt and blame， and it is not possible to learn anything meaning while you are engaged in blaming。 Therefore， forgiveness is required when you are harshly judging yourself。

Forgiveness is the act of erasing an emotional debt。 There are four kinds of forgiveness。

The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself。

The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another。

The third kind of forgiveness is advanced forgiveness of yourself。 This is for serious transgressions， the ones you carry with deep shame when you do soimething that violates your own values and ethics， you create a chasm between your standards and your actual behavior。 In such a case， you need to work very hard at forgiving youeself for these deeds so that yo call close this chasm and realign with the best part of yourself。

This does not mean that you should rush to forgive yourselfor not feel regret or remorse； but wallowing in these feelings for a protracted period of time is not healthy， and punishing yourself excessively will only creats a bigger gap between you and your ethics。

The last and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another。 At some time of our life， you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems impossible。 However， harboring resentment and revenge fantasies only keeps you trapped in victim hood。 Under such a circumstance， you should force yourself to see the bigger picture， by so doing， you will be able to shift the focus away from the anger and resentment。

It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and clean the memory。 when you can finally release the situation， you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth。

[考研英语作文词汇及素材【人生哲理类】

《三个纽约》是一篇叙述不同人对纽约不同看法的随笔。作为闻名世界的国际大都市，纽约在不同人的心目中含有不同的意义。作者以敏锐的目光进行观察，发现三种视觉产生了三个纽约。土生土长的纽约城里人对一切都已习以为常。他们眼里的纽约总是那个老模样。住在郊外而在城里办公的人，每天乘班车上下班，来去匆匆，使纽约显得人潮滚滚，喧闹不定。唯有从其他各个地方纽约来寻求发展的人，纽约就是他们最后的目的地。在他们眼里，纽约是个应有尽有，充满希望，充满创业精神，令人振奋的城市，所以他们对纽约的感情也最为强烈。这篇随笔虽然篇幅短小，但是构思精巧，一气呵成，表现了作者扎实的文笔功底。

The Three New Yorks

Elwin Brooks White

There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter — the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last — the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New Yorks high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness, natives give it solidarity and continuity, but the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum, or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference: each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love, each absorbs New York with the fresh eyes of an adventurer, each generates heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company.

A woman baked chapatti for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill. Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”

一个女人给家人烤薄饼，还留出一个给饥肠辘辘的路人。她总是把留出的那个放在窗台上，每天都有一个驼背的人来拿走薄饼。他没说过一句“谢谢”，反而总是边走边咕哝着：“善有善报，恶有恶报！”

The woman felt irritated. “Not a word of gratitude,” she said to herself… “Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?” One day, she decided to do away with him. She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him!

女人很生气，她自言自语地说：“这个驼背人从没说过谢谢，却每天都重复这句话，是什么意思呀？”一天，她决定弄死他，就在为他准备的薄饼上下了毒。

As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. “What is this I am doing?” she said. Immediately, she threw the chapatti into the fire, prepared another one. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and muttered the words: “The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”

她正要把饼放在窗台上，手就开始颤抖了，她说：“我在做什么？”她马上把饼扔进了火里，重新做了一张。一切照旧，驼背人来了，拿起薄饼，咕哝着：“善有善报，恶有恶报！”

Every day, as the woman placed the chapatti on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune.

每天女人把饼放窗台上时都为去远方赚钱的儿子祈祷。

That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. He was hungry and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, “Mom, it’s a miracle I’m here. While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. He was kind enough to give me a whole chapatti. He said, “Your need is greater than mine!”

那天晚上，有人敲门，她打开门惊讶地发现儿子站在门口，他很饿很虚弱。一看见妈妈他就说：“妈妈，我能回来真是奇迹。离家还有一英里远的时候，我太饿了走不动了。我差点儿就死了，但就在那时一个老驼背人路过，他很善良给了我一整张饼。他说：‘你比我更需要它’。”

She remembered the poisoned chapatti that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son!

她想起了那天早上做的有毒的饼，要不是她把饼烧了，就会被她儿子吃了！

It was then that she realized the significance of the words: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!” Do good and don’t ever stop doing good, even if it is not appreciated at that time.

那时她才意识到这句话的重要性：“善有善报，恶有恶报！”多行善举，即使当时不被人感激也要坚持下去。

River Pollution

A great deal of dead fish can be found floating on the surface of the Huaihe River(淮河), because of serious pollution this summer. In a report, Anhui Daily called on residents (居民) to help protect the river against pollution.

要求：1 必须包括对上述主要内容的感想，可以适当增减细节，使其连贯、完整。

2 词数：100左右

Chinese people are now face to a serious problem--pollution. And this problem is a little bit different from others--the goverment can not solve it by themselves. We need everyone to protect our environment. But we also know that it is very hard to call everyone to join us to protect the environment. But it seems that they have found the way to let everybody know it. In a report, Anhui Daily called on residents to help protect the river against pollution. I am so glad about it. And i believe that somewhere the pollution must stop.

【翻译】

中国人现在面临着一个严重的问题污染。这个问题有点不同，政府不能自己解决。我们需要每个人来保护我们的环境。但我们也知道，很难叫大家加入我们保护环境。但似乎他们已经找到了让每个人都知道的方法。在一份报告中，安徽日报呼吁居民帮助保护河流免受污染。我很高兴。我相信某处的污染必须停止。

The Moon Festival or Mid -autumn Festival is one of the three major traditional festivals celebrated by Chinese people. Like harvest time in other countries, the Mid-autumn Festival actually began as a

[难忘的中秋英语作文

人一生，短短数载，不够时间计较，不够时间事事明细，不必在思前想后中耗磨时间，懂得享乐，人生贵在糊涂。

We all， at one time or another， have pretended to be a rock star， singing and dancing along to our favorite song。 Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults， in the privacy of our homes。 Me？ I love to do that when I drive！ I turn on the radio， find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm。 Most of the time， I do this on my way to work。

我们每个人，在不同时期，都曾经像一个摇滚歌星那样，伴着我们最爱的那首歌又唱又跳。很多人在小时候，甚至是已长大成人，都曾在我们自己房间和家里这样的隐秘空间里这样做过。我呢？我喜欢在开车的时候这样！打开收音机，找一首会唱的歌，很快我就会张开双臂，随着节奏起舞。大部分时候，我在上班的路上这么做。

Yes， that is true。 I will be in my nice work clothes， jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light。 I get weird looks from some people and others laugh。 Personally， I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly！

是的，那是真的。我会穿上我漂亮的工作服，在堵车和遇到交通灯时，有人就会用奇怪的眼神看着我，或者笑我。对我个人而言，我喜欢沉浸在一首歌的节奏中，由此我愿和你们分享：为人糊涂贵在何处。

The definition for the word silly， according to the dictionary is： stupid， foolish and nonsensical。 I know many people do not want to look foolish。 So they walk around all serious， which in all honesty， is foolish！

糊涂一词在字典中的定义是：愚蠢的，傻，荒谬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他们在生活中始终一脸严肃，而这在本质上才是真正的愚笨。

No one is perfect， I repeat： no one is perfect。 I dont care how educated， how thin， how beautiful， how simple， how frugal， how rich， and so on… No one is perfect！ So why pretend to be something you are not？

人无完人，我重申一次：没有人是完美的。我不在乎一个人学识多深，身材多好，外表多美，思想多浅薄，生活多俭朴，多富有，等等……人无完人！那么，为什么要伪装成我们实际上本不是的呢？

Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over， so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity？ Here is a quote by Souza， that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life：

人生何其短暂……你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束，那么，为什么要浪费一分一秒，让自己变得棱角分明？这里引用索萨的话，我觉得她一语中的，是人生的一大秘方。

“Dance as though no one is watching you，

Love as though you have never been hurt before，

Sing as though no one can hear you，

Live as though heaven is on earth。“

跳舞吧，就像没有人欣赏一样，

去爱吧，就像没有受到伤害一样，

唱歌吧，就像没有人倾听一样，

生活吧，就像今天是最后一天一样。

When we were kids， we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others。 However， as we grew up， we lost that childlike innocence。

当我们还是孩子，我们天不怕，地不怕，无忧无虑，所以我们可以不在乎自己再别人眼中的形象去做事情。然而，当我们长大，我们失去了那种天真烂漫。

So dont lose the child that still lives within you。 The next time you feel down， go turn on your favorite song， and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow。 Or watch something that makes you laugh。 Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts。 Trust me， you will feel a whole lot better， and who doesnt want to feel good？

所以，不要丢失你心中那个小孩。下次你感到沮丧时，去打开你最爱的那首歌吧，随之歌唱起舞，就像没有明天一样。或者看点能让你笑的东西。笑声是除去任何烦恼良方，没有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我，你会好受很多，谁又不想让自己好受呢？

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in Kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school.

These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Dont hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Dont take things that arent yours. Say youre sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day.

Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we.

And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK . Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation, ecology and politics and sane living.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about 3 oclock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
