有什么值得背诵的英文名篇
林肯的哥迪斯堡演讲。全文很短，但很有历史意义，人人皆知。
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
如果这个太深的话，可以从儿歌开始。比如“Humpty Dumpty”：
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses
And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!
你喜欢音乐的话，听英文流行音乐是很好的习惯以及提高的方法，美国billboard单曲榜，每周更新，挺好的。
还有看英文电影，找有英文字幕的。有些经典电影最好把台词背下来，比如阿甘正传forest gump,肖申克的救赎shawshank redemption等。
还有美剧，比如friends，prison break，desperate housewife,house, grey's anatomy, 都很好
还有，关注新闻的话，常去CNN和BBC上听在线新闻，能使你的听力口语暴涨。
就是有机会的话多和外国人说话。这个不是人人都有的条件，你自己看吧
我有一个习惯我自己觉得挺好的，呵呵不要见笑哈。每天读一篇文章，要有朗读音频的。比如有些英语学习的杂志会送光盘，或者在网上能下载的。一边听人家读，一边跟读，能把发音和语速练得不错
还有，去cnn上评论别人的文章，同时看看别人的评论是怎么写的，能学到好多很地道的表达发。然后用到你的口语里，有很好的效果
最后就是不忙的时候报个新东方班去上上，真挺好的，又不枯燥，老师课讲的很好很好。报那种口语班
再说点别的
你要想写文章地道背新概念2，3（4里全是名篇文学作品，等水平高点了再背吧）这个很经典。而且有很多相关的故事，最著名的一个说，一位仁兄从小背新概念，后来去国外上大学，写了篇论文交上去，教授给了0分，问为什么，教授说你肯定是抄的，老朽从没见过一个外国人能写出如此优秀的论文的。此仁兄觉得委屈，说，这是真是俺写的！！俺从小背新概念，不信俺给你背，你随便挑。由于这个兄弟背的太流利了，教授折服了，流下了悔恨的眼泪。哈哈，新概念真的很不错，我背过，尤其是你想学英音。
喜欢哈利波特的话，看原版书也很好。J K Rolling为什么那么有名，就是因为她的语言，用此太精辟了，意思恰到好处。你整个看完的话，就会变得很牛。其他很多原版作品也很好，大有裨益。我同学跟我说他同学考托福116分，就扣了四分。这哥们就是爱看英文小说，考托福都不带准备的。。。

就是说我们这个民有，民享，民治的政府将永存与世上！全文仅10个句子，简练而又深刻。实乃演讲之精品！

YOUTH
Samuel Ullman
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
青春
塞缪尔·厄尔曼
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
英文名篇-假如给我三天时间
iousness of
the conflicts which life develops.
And I should like to look into the loyal, trusting eyes of my dogs - the grave, canny little Scottie, Darkie, and the stalwart, understanding Great Dane, Helga, whose warm, tender
, and playful friendships are so comforting to me.
On that busy first day I should also view the small simple things of my home. I want to see the warm colors in the rugs under my feet, the pictures on the walls, the intimate
trifles that transform a house into home. My eyes would rest respectfully on the books in raised type which I have read, but they would be more eagerly interested in the printed
books which seeing people can read, for during the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me have built themselves into a great shining
lighthouse, revealing to me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit.
In the afternoon of that first seeing day. I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately to absorb in a
few hours the vast splendor which is constantly unfolding itself to those who can see. On the way home from my woodland jaunt my path would lie near a farm so that I might see the
patient horses ploughing in the field 9perhaps I should see only a tractor!) and the serene content of men living close to the soil. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful
sunset.
When dusk had fallen, I should experience the double delight of being able to see by artificial light which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when
Nature decrees darkness.
