外国文学经典美文摘抄,国外优秀散文随笔

学习英语在于日常积累，而阅读英文名著，对提高阅读能力、增强语感、扩大词汇量绝对有帮助。

学英语除了单词难记外，英语的语法更是繁杂得让人头疼，各种时态、各种语态、种种从句、变化多样的词性等。

而阅读名著，可以让你在潜移默化中形成英语思维习惯，或许你不懂这个词的意思，或许你不懂这个语法，但语感能让你从容地说出口、写下来。

今天，申友雅思整理了一些名著美句，帮助你做一些积累。

Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.

To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world. 对于世界而言，你是一个人；但是对于某人，你是他的整个世界。 ——查尔斯·狄更斯《双城记》

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. It was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity. It was the season of light, it was the season of darkness. It was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. We had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way.

这是最美好的时代，这是最糟糕的时代；这是智慧的年头，这是愚昧的年头；这是信仰的时期，这是怀疑的时期；这是光明的季节，这是黑暗的季节；这是希望之春，这是失望之冬。我们的前途拥有一切，我们的前途一无所有；我们正走向天堂，我们也正直下地狱。——查尔斯·狄更斯《双城记》
