英语阅读是一项基本的技能,为提高同学们英语阅读的能力,培养英语语感,小编给大家推荐了一些英语美文——Silence 安静,一起来分享下吧! Silence 安静 Indeed, for a living being there is no such thing as true silence, for silence itself is a revelation of the mind and the heart, an echo of the soul of a different form. Some people use silence as a disguise of the emptiness of the head. Some use it as a means to depict(描述) their disorientation and melancholy(忧郁,悲哀). And some use it as a way of expressing their angers and sorrows. Silence usually is ephemeral. It reminds one of the bronze bells dangling from a pagoda's eaves; on windless days they are a decoration upon the age-weathered beauty, but with wind they give out wonderful tinkling and jingling metallurgic(冶金学的) sounds, as if echoing age-old stories of long, long ago... Do you not think the same of silent people? They say that "silence is golden", but of what nature is this "gold"? It can include integrity, honesty and kindness; it can stand for indifference to and detachment from fame and fortune; but it can also act as an excuse for hypocrisy, slyness and cowardice... the glittering of gold may not necessarily be the most brilliant lustre in the world. |
