英语名篇诵读 美是大地的微笑

（单词翻译）

Beauty Is the Smile on the Earth's Face

美是大地的微笑

John Galsworthy(约翰·高尔斯华绥)

A ship in sail, an opening flower, a town at night, the song of the blackbird , a lovely

poem, leaf shadows, a child's grace, the starry¹ skies, apple trees in spring, sheep-bells on a hill,

a rippling² stream, a butterfly, the crescent moon, the thousand sights or sounds or words that

evoke³ in us the thought of beauty — these are the drops of rain that keep the human spirit from

death by drought. They are a stealing and silent refreshment⁴ that we perhaps do not think

about, but which goes on all the time. Beauty is the smile on the earth's face, open to all, and needs

but the eyes to see, the mood to understand.

扬帆的舟楫，绽放的花朵，夜晚的小镇，乌鸫的欢唱，优美的诗篇，婆娑的树影，孩

童的烂漫，熠熠的星空，春天的苹果树，山岗上羊群的铃声叮当，潺潺的溪水，翩跹的蝴

蝶，蛾眉新月，万千风物，天籁之声，佳作华章——无不在我们心中唤起美的遐想，如雨

露甘霖，滋润心田，润物无声，无所不在，无时不有，能否感知，在于自我。美是大地的

微笑，人人皆可享用，但需心灵去感受，慧眼去捕捉。
