哲理是没有国界的，他们的哲理同样也是实实在在的发生在我们身边的。这次帅气的小编为您整理了英语哲理美文（优秀9篇），在大家参照的同时，也可以分享一下给您最好的朋友。
We're traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of(鳞次栉比) corn ad wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle(七巧板). How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering -- waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
"When we reach the station, that will be it!" we cry. "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!" "When I put our last kid through college." "When I have paid off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion."
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.
幽默的治疗作用
A funny bone could be a lifesaver. Besides, it makes life’s adversities easier to handle.
幽默能成为救生员。同时，它也能使生活中的难题更容易化解。
Cousins, author of Anatomy of an Illness, is a prime example of how a person can cure himself of a terminal illness.
<疾病分析学说>的作者诺曼。库辛博士，是展现人在末期病症中成功进行自我治疗的重要例子。
He had a 1/500 chance of recovery, but Cousins wanted to prove that if there was anything like mind over matter, he’s make it a reality. He figured if negative emotions caused negative chemicals in our body, then the reverse must be true too. Positive emotions, like happiness and laughter, would bring positive chemicals into our system. He moved from the hospital to a hotel and rented humorous movies and literally cured himself by laughing.
库辛博士原来只有五百分之一的康复机会，但他想用自己来证明，在疾病抗争的过程中，心态比一切重要，结果他做到了。他推断，如果消极的情绪会在身体中产生不良化学物质，那么反之亦然。积极的情绪，如快乐与欢笑可以给我们身体带来积极影响。于是他搬离医院，住进酒店，还租了很多幽默片来看最后，他用欢笑治愈了自己。
Of course, medical help is important, but the will to live for the patient is equally if not more important。
当然，医疗也是重要的，但求生意志对于病人来说同样也不可忽视。

Two years ago, the drama about going back to the dynasty was very popular, people liked to see such TV series so much, they thought went to the past made them a hero and they could become the shining star. It seems that back to the past is everyone’s dream, while for me, I’d rather stay in this moment, I don’t want to go back. Comparing with the younger me, I like who I am now, though I am not young anymore, I have wisdom and experience at this moment. Time endows me with matureness, I witness so many things, I am not innocent any more, I am a better person. I am so satisfied with myself now, I cherish what I have and am so thankful to life. Looking forward to the future and opening the new chapter of my life are the main things for me to do.
两年以前，关于回到朝代的戏剧很受欢迎，人们很喜欢看到此类的电视剧，他们觉得回到过去能让他们变成英雄，成为亮眼的明星。似乎回到过去是每个人的梦想，然而对于我来说，我更情愿停留在此刻，我不想要回去。和更加年轻的我相比，我喜欢现在的自己，虽然我不再那么年轻，但是我此刻拥有智慧和阅历。时间赋予了我成熟，我目睹了很多事情，不再那么的天真，我变得更好。我很满意目前的自己，珍惜我所拥有的，对生活也感恩。展望未来，打开生活新篇章是我主要要去做的事情。
What is the purpose of study, most students will tell you that they want to find their own value and survive in the society. Reading books will also help people gain knowledge and fulfill their value, but in my opinion, the value of reading books not only contains what has mentioned above, but also contains the happiness from the mind. When people read the good books, they will be immerged into the books and find themselves being part of the story. They can gain a lot from the books, learning how to face the problems or what kind of person they should be. Good books are like the teachers, they show people how to fulfill their value and lead people to the success. People should choose the good books to read, those books which are worthless should be neglected. The value of books is infinite.
学习的目的是什么，大部分学生会告诉你他们想要找到自己的价值，在这社会上生存。读书也能帮助人们收获知识和实现他们的价值，但是在我看来，读书的价值不仅仅包含了前面提到的，也包含了收获思想上的愉悦。当人们读到好书时，他们会沉浸在书中，发现自己成为书中的一部分。他们也能从书本学到很多，学着如何面对问题，或者他们应该成为怎样的人。好的书就像老师，展示人们如何实现他们的价值，引导人们走向成功。人们选择好的书来读，那些没有价值的书尽量少读。书本的价值是无穷的。
A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…
一个24岁的男孩子望着车窗外，大声说……
-“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”
-“爸爸，看，那些树在后退！”
Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed…
爸爸笑了。一对坐在附近的年轻夫妇看着这个24岁的男孩子，为他的幼稚行为感到可惜。突然，男孩子再次呼喊道……
-“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”
-“爸爸，看，云朵在跟着我们一起跑！”
The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…
那对夫妇忍不住对这位老先生说……
-“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?” The old man smiled and said…“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today.”
-“您为什么不带儿子去看医生呢？”老先生笑着说……“我带他看过医生了，我们刚从医院回来，我的儿子一出生就失明了，他今天才重获光明。”
Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.
在这个世界上，每个人都有一个故事。不要在你真正了解别人之前就去评判他们。真相可能会让你大吃一惊。
月亮给我的人生启示
Lesson from the Moon 月亮的启示
By Vicki Baum
When the moon is fullest it begins to wane, When it is darkest it begins to grow.
月亮带给我的启示----「月盈则亏，晦则明」
-Chinese Proverb-中国谚语
THERE is a calm wisdom in this old saying that impressed me when I heard it first form a monk of a Buddhist monastery in China. It has often, helped me to retain a good measure of equanimity under stress and hardship as well as when some unexpected success or good luck might have made me to exuberant. There is hope and consolation in the sure knowledge that even the darkest hours of pains and troubles won’t last: but also a warning against overrating the passing glories of wealth, power and great fortune. A warning and a hope, not only for the individual, but for government, nations and their leaders, a brief summing up of all that history and human experience can tell us. And beyond all that we might hear in it an echo of the law and order that holds our universe in safe balance.
这句中国的古话，最初是由佛教寺院中的一位和尚告诉我的，当时给我的印象很深。这实在是一句至理名词，蕴含着冷静的慧智。从那时起，每当我遭逢坎坷困苦，或者遇到可能使我过于兴奋的成功或好运的时候，这句话都曾帮助我保持镇定，泰然处之。这句话提示我们，不论痛苦和忧患的时刻多么黑暗，也不会长久持续下去，因而使我们感到希望和安慰；同时也警告我们，财富、权力、和鸿运当头的荣耀，都只是过眼烟云，不可过于重视。个人如此，国家和政府领袖亦然，这句话箴言所提供的希望和警告，实在是整个历史和人类经验的结晶。除此之外，我们还可以从这句话里面，聆听到使宇宙保持平衡状态的法律与秩序的回声。
There once were two poor woodsmen who made a living by collecting woods in the mountain. One day, they happened to discover two large bag of cotton in the mountain and felt surprisingly happy. The cotton was light but valuable, so they carried it on their back and went back home.
When they were walking home, one of the woodsmen spotted a large bundle of cloth beside the road. So he discussed with his partner whether to discard the cotton and take the cloth instead. But his partner held a different view that since he had carried the cotton for such a long way, he would not change it with cloth because all his previous effort would turn out to be in vain. Therefore, the other woodsman abandoned the cotton and carried the cloth on his back. After walking for a while, the woodsman who carried the cloth spotted several jars of gold disseminated on the ground not far away. He felt so thrilled that he was going to be a wealthy man. So he gave up the cloth and used his carrying pole to carry two jars of gold, while his partner was still reluctant to abandon the cotton and wondering whether the gold was real or not.
Larry Walters’ boyhood dream was not an unusual one: He wanted to fly. What was unusual, though, was the way he fulfilled it. After finishing school, Larry joined the U.S. Air Force, but was rejected from pilot-training school because of poor eyesight. However, his dream remained.
Larry, aged 33, was not a pilot, but a truck driver in Los Angeles. One day, while sitting outside in his lawn chair, Larry had his eureka moment. As he watched jets fly overhead, an idea came to him to use weather balloons to fly.
A few weeks later, Larry bought 42 one-meter diameter weather balloons. He tied them to a lawn chair and filled them with helium. Then he sat down in the chair with some beer, sandwiches, and a BB gun. Larry’s plan was to float about 10 meters above his backyard, enjoy a few hours in the air, and then pop some balloons with his gun to get back down. But things did not go according to Larry’s plan.
When his friends cut the anchor lines, Larry, lifted by the 42 balloons, shot skyward at an astonishing speed. He finally settled at an altitude of 4,000 meters. Afraid to pop any of the balloons, in case he should upset the balance of his “craft,” Larry sat, cold and frightened, in the sky with his beer and sandwiches for 14 hours.
Airline pilots heading toward Los Angeles’busy international airport radioed in reports of the strange sight. Larry’s presence in the skies caused numerous planes to be rerouted. Eventually, Larry worked up the nerve to shoot a few balloons and slowly descended, landing in power lines. Uninjured, he climbed down to safety and was arrested by waiting police.
When asked by a reporter why he had done it, Larry responded, "a man just cant sit around." Larry fulfilled his dream, and set a record for a gas-filled balloon flight. But it cost him US$1,500.
