Beautiful passages: excerpts and appreciation of American literature

Reading is a beautiful thing, and reading and extracting beautiful articles is a kind of enjoyment. The following are excerpts and appreciation of the American essays I have compiled. Welcome to consult them.

1, Tianchi

From the first time I saw Tianchi to saying goodbye to her, I was silent. I don't want to break the peace with a little noise. One day in Tianchi, the mood is very quiet, which is my most cherished mood. Mountains and lakes change with the movement of the sun shadow. After lunch, I slept for a while, and a cold air came, just like bathing in iceberg snow water. I got up quietly, unwilling to wake others, and went to the corridor alone to observe Tianchi carefully again: snow peaks and fir forests, white and black set each other off, which was particularly clear, and the white clouds surging behind the snow-capped mountains were as dazzling as silver by strong sunlight.

Appreciation: The beauty of nature is the purest and clearest beauty, and you don't want to destroy it with a little worldly clutter and disturbance. Only when you calm down and appreciate it slowly will you find that everything is so harmonious and beautiful, everything seems to be carefully prepared, but it is so natural and just right, and even the soul is purified.

2. Sunflowers and dandelions

Its color is brilliant golden yellow given by the sun, bright but not enchanting; Its head is to pursue high dignity, noble but not arrogant; Its body is the backbone of faith, supporting heavy fruits with its slender body. It is not shaken by the bright and lofty moon, confused by the bright stars in the vast starry sky, and does not give up because the sun is out of reach. It should know that it will never get the sun, but it will not bow its head, because the sun is its pursuit of faith. Perhaps, this will not bring it fruitful results, but sunshine is the direction of sunflower life.

Appreciation: We live for our own pursuits and beliefs. Maybe we are ordinary, but we can live on our own and move forward firmly and persistently in the direction of life. This is the truest and most beautiful life.

3. Chopin in homesickness

After many years of ups and downs, we suddenly realized that the spiritual posts that once comforted us in life, the firelight that once warmed and illuminated our poor childhood, are drifting away from us inadvertently and becoming blurred? For example, mom, for example, the old house in childhood, and Gillian who is swaying next door? A great sense of emptiness and loneliness, which is hard to drive away, struck, and tears immediately poured in. At this time, we are suffering from a disease that has spread for centuries. Homesickness.

Appreciate:

When we were young, our restless hearts always looked forward to flying to the outside world, away from the shabby old houses and nagging mothers. But after years of wandering outside, our hearts are hard to understand, and our loneliness is hard to heal. Only then do we realize that our hearts have been rooted in our homeland for a long time and cannot be cut off or pulled up. There is nothing like the warmth of my old hometown.

4. "A bone in the sky"

You can ruin my body, but you can't ruin my reward; You can take my life, but you can't break my spirit. I want to write a great book that has never been written in the world, so that this nation can remember Sima Qian and the world can remember Sima Qian! Let you see Liu Che, what is a real scholar and what is the courage of a scholar. Cold congeals bloom, and blood nourishes grass and grows fat. In purgatory, Sima Qian achieved a bone while improving his spirit. What a good bone! Even in the face of a hundred emperors, a thousand tortures and ten thousand tribulations, this bone will never be tender, never tender!

Appreciation: history may bury a person's great achievements, but it will always leave a person's pride and integrity, passed down from generation to generation, indestructible, indestructible! Sima Qian had a hard life, but he didn't care, because death was heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather, and the weight of life could not be measured.

5. The Way of Life

There is a group of porcupines, that is, wild boars with thorns. Everyone gets together for the winter. They have always been confused, that is, they don't know what kind of distance is the best distance for everyone to be together. If it's farther away, it's cold in winter and we can't borrow heat from each other, we'll get together. As a result, once close, each other's thorns stab each other. I started moving out again. However, if we feel cold again and want to use the warmth of others, we will get together again, get hurt when we get together, and then pull away. After many times of running-in, the porcupines finally found the most suitable distance, that is, to keep the group warm without hurting each other.

Appreciation: people are social animals, and everyone will feel lonely and want to find someone to accompany them. But once you get too close and expose all the fragile parts to others, you will inevitably get hurt. The deeper you love, the more you give, and the more you hurt. Keep a little distance, light warmth, and you won't get hurt.

6. Shuxiang

Usually there is an antique town in the book, with willows and green tiles, or misty rain, or warm wind blowing gently. On the archway by the river, the wine fluttered in the wind. When you walk into this restaurant, you can smell the thick wine. The shopkeeper has a warm smile on his face. At this time, I will unload the burden on my shoulders, and a little sense of happiness will ripple in my heart. Even if there are thousands of grievances and worries at this time, they will disappear in this faint fragrance.

Appreciation: Book fragrance is the lightest, most elegant, cleanest and quietest fragrance. If it is there, it lingers in your heart, gently brushing away the dust from your heart and bringing intoxicating beauty.

7. Liu Hou Temple

As a result, the full economy was pounded by the hoof of the wheel, and the crisp and bright cry filled the generous heart. Only here can the extraordinary splendour of literature and art be extracted from the commemoration of newspapers, re-condensed into a soul and become extensive. They suddenly became awake and lively, confronted temples and argued with historians, leaving a different voice for the empire of the whole world. Generations of literati, thus increasing 10% pride and 3% confidence. Civilization in Washington will not be completely dark. The imperial court never imagined that it was the royal approval sent to the southern wilderness that enlightened the national spirit.

Appreciation: How many talented poets, poets, and people with lofty ideals were exiled to remote and barren places by the imperial court, and their ambitions were hard to be rewarded, but literati were literati. They have singled out the arrogance of Hanzhi and the national spirit of China people carved in their bones through heavy history, which will be admired by people for centuries. It is the literati scattered in a quiet place that lights up history.

8. "Water is flowing"

As you know, it is inappropriate to be honest and clean, and it is even more inappropriate to turn one's inner sadness into a spiritual flame. Thinking over life is your sorrow, and fate over life is not your sorrow. A real person lives in the coldest reality, a cleanest person falls in the dirtiest mud pond, and a person who follows the inner truth most faces all kinds of hypocrisy and cunning. You can't be tolerant of them, even if you are a little hypocritical, you still insist on the absolute purity of your ideal.

Appreciation: Qu Yuan is very sad because he lived in a dynasty that did not belong to him, but no one ever pitied him. Some people only expect and respect him, just because he came out of the mud without contamination, persistently deviated from the dirty and dark world, walked against the wind, and turned his back on his dreams. This is the only lucidity he left in that dark world.

9. Morning Fog and Sunset

Her alienated posture is like a Hua Teng far away from the sky. It's a hazy haze of morning fog. At that time, I looked at the flowers in the fog. You look at the moon from the water as if your dream was dyed black, and the beautiful time of youth is the drifting cloud sleeves in the sunset. Since then, the innocent and romantic smile has been like a day for ten years.

Appreciation: In this hazy and beautiful flower season, we are lost, but we are not empty. Even if time goes by like water, time has carved countless traces on our souls, but that initial innocence will always stay in the softest place in our hearts, which is good.

10, "Laugh and wear clothes without sighing"

Is this just the gap between the rich and the poor? No, among them, only I know the rivers and mountains of Wan Li. Buddha is not far from people, and it is Buddha from the heart. Can give up the pond at home to pursue the winding water, can give up the bean lamp at home to enjoy the starry sky, can walk out of your yard and measure the world with your steps, which is the height that a heart can reach. Maybe you have the whole world, maybe you have nothing. Even if you have nothing, you can still have the world. Because enjoyment has nothing to do with possession.

Appreciation: let your heart gallop, let your heart be free, not disturbed by the fame and fortune of the world of mortals, not left by the secular concept of rich and poor, put running water and starlight into your heart, and you will feel how rich you are.

1 1, walk gently, come gently.

I will always see that small street and see a child standing on the doorstep looking out. The morning sun or sunset dazzled his eyes, and a group of black spots floated. He closed his eyes, a little scared and at a loss. After a long time, he opened his eyes again Ah, well, the world is bright again? Two monks dressed in black are walking quietly under the eaves along the street? Several dragonflies circled smoothly, their wings shining. Dove whistle flickering, soft and long, gradually approaching, flying overhead, gradually drifting away, like confetti flying in the sky?

Appreciation: Sometimes I can't help thinking of distant childhood pictures, even if it's just some messy fragments, it's warm, quiet and gentle. Looking at the world with a little timidity, everything is so beautiful. Now everything is gone, and there are only some clean memories left in the complicated world.

12, Friendship on the Road of Youth

The sadness of wind chimes is permeated with the fragrance of friendship. The rain at night knocks on the window and dances with the lost figure. When the spring breeze blows, the stars wink and smile at you on drunken nights. Friendship travels in the rainy season, full of melancholy. Miss embellished in tears, shrink a lifetime, just for friendship forever.

Appreciation: At that time, Ling Ran was independent with a slight cold wind. You held my hand and led me through the shadows, laughing and crying together. Because of you, the road to youth has become so beautiful.

13, the memory of flowers

Those cut down trees are just stumps, hidden in weeds. Those once beautiful memories, as if cut off by the waist, lost the foundation of survival, withered, withered, broken and drowned in the river of memory, deeply buried in the soil, faded the original fresh color, flashed at a certain moment, and inadvertently embedded the most sensitive nerves. Memory is pain, touch is hurt. Just like now. In the twilight, Sophora japonica is in full bloom, but it can't float into the nostrils that I try to smell in the distance, leaving only a tree full of flowers, swaying slightly in the wind and gradually blurring.

Appreciation: The word "memory" itself is melancholy. Even the best things have changed. Even if you try hard to pursue your initial feeling, it will be like a faded old photo, but you still feel old.

14, "Father's? Wild? children

Not only that, my father doesn't even allow me to wear tight shoes. Sometimes the shoes I wear are a little tight, so I limp in front of my father on purpose, and my father complains about my mother. You gave her shoes again! ? Mom was angry, too, so she pushed scissors and paper-cut shoes to dad and said? If you can do it, do it for her. I don't care if you grow a pair of king kong feet in the future! ? Father really picked up scissors and paper and was about to hinge a shoe sample, but mother took the scissors away with a smile.

Appreciation: Is Father right? Me? To love so deeply seems to be to spoil, but it is not. He got used to it seriously? Me? Wild, is used to be serious? Me? Free personality and growth, like an excellent gardener, guard the precious seedlings he has cultivated all his life. They will not be tied up and shaped into templates, but will grow sturdily.

15, curtain

Naked naked, of course, means naive and simple. Why are these all hypocritical, secretive and dishonest! However, everyone can only say three words, can't they fall in love at first sight and treat each other sincerely? It's easy to say your voice. There are also smart people, naive and simple, who made the material and color of the curtains. A pure curtain, piled with transparent soft yarn, floated in the wind. This simplicity is more attractive than colorful ones. Seriously, you should be naked, not fake, unless you have a perfect body like a Greek idol and a pure soul like an angel.

Appreciation: communication between people is separated by a veil, because absolute heart-to-heart communication hurts. A friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and it is most comfortable and safest to keep a shallow distance.

16, the wisdom of bowing your head

Lao Tzu said that the world is the softest and the strongest. If you walk in front, you won't be folded. Bow your head in time so that you won't get hurt. After Fan Li helped Gou Jian destroy Wu, he chose to row a boat on the West Lake. In his view, lakes and mountains are far better than fame and fortune. After the liberation of South America, Bolivar still refused to be king. For him, liberator? This title is the greatest honor. An example of how they bowed their heads. From this perspective, bowing is not only a kind of wisdom, but also a kind of philosophy and a realm. On the journey of life, don't always stare at the front, but also look down at your feet to see if you are walking steadily. Appreciation: Flexibility is the foundation of our life. They are wise to bow their heads instead of fighting for fame and gain, and choose to retire after success. Their bows made Tao Zhugong a famous great liberator in history. Sometimes, sharp edges can bring disaster. You know, the wood in the forest is beautiful and the wind will destroy it.

17, the farthest place to look.

Sitting under the mysterious peach tree, stuffed with peaches, alone in a daze. Quiet moonlight hung over his cheeks, faintly reflecting a touch of sadness. Nobody likes him because he shouldn't? Dragon warrior? Because he ruined the master's plan, because he didn't know kung fu at all, but he didn't want to give up. He just pouted and remained silent, and the moonlight gently baptized him. Gradually, ripples appeared in the loneliness in his eyes, reflecting the water and the sky and turning them into dazzling light. At that moment, I saw a power in his eyes.

Appreciation: Some people can never seem to hide in the crowd, because they are not good enough, applause and applause will not stop for them. But there is a stubbornness in their hearts that they don't bow their heads. Even if they are lonely and sad, they will believe in themselves, the wonderful live high.
