The Big Beauty of a Little Country 小国家的大美丽

Further north lies another pint-sized country that’s 1)tucked away, not on a hill, but in the mighty Alps.

Two centuries ago there were dozens of independent states in German-speaking

Europe. Today there are only four: Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Nestled between Switzerland and Austria, the Principality of Liechtenstein is

defined by the mighty Alps to the east, the baby Rhine River to the west, and a stout fortress protecting the mouth of its valley to the south. This quirky remnant of

medieval feudal politics is just about 62 square miles. It’s truly land-locked, without a seaport or even an airport.

Liechtensteiners, who number about 35,000, speak German, are mostly Catholic and have a stubborn independent 2)streak.

Women weren’t given the vote until 1984.

The country’s made up of 11 villages. The village of Triesenberg, high above the valley, gathers around its onion-domed church, which recalls the settlers who arrived here centuries ago from the western part of Switzerland.

The town of Vaduz sits on the valley floor. While it has only 5,000 people, it’s the country’s capital. Its 3)pedestrianized main drag is lined with modern art and hotels bordering a district of 4)slick office parks.

Historically, Europe’s tiny countries have offered businesses special tax and

accounting incentives. For a place with such a small population, Liechtenstein has a lot of businesses. Many European companies locate here to take advantage of its low taxes.

And that’s how the Prince of Liechtenstein, whose castle is 5)perched above his 6)domain, likes it. The billionaire prince, who looks down on his 6- by 12-mile country, 7)wields more real political power in his 8)realm than any other European royalty.

The National Museum tells the story of the Prince and his country. Their family 9)crest dates to the Middle Ages, when the Liechtenstein family was close friends with the Hapsburg family, who ruled the 10)Holy Roman Empire. The Liechtenstein family purchased this piece of real estate from the Holy Roman Emperor. In 1719, the domain was granted principality status, answering only to the emperor. The Liechtenstein princes, who lived near Vienna, saw their new country merely as a status symbol and didn’t even bother to visit for decades. In fact, it wasn’t until the 20th century that the first Liechtenstein prince actually lived here.

In 1806, during the Napoleonic age, Liechtenstein’s obligations to the Hapsburg emperor disappeared, and the country was granted true independence. Later, after World War Ⅰ, tough times forced the principality to enter into an economic union with Switzerland.

To this day Liechtenstein enjoys a close working relationship with its Swiss

neighbours, and, like Switzerland, a big part of its modern economy is tourism and sports, hosting visitors enjoying its dramatic natural beauty. 11)Ski lifts, busy both

winter and summer, take nature-lovers to the dizzying 12)ridge that serves as the border with Austria. Even in little, little Liechtenstein the views are big and the hiking possibilities go on and on.

再往北坐落着另一个迷你小国，它不是藏在一座小山上，而是隐匿在雄壮的阿尔卑斯山间。

两个世纪以前，欧洲有许多的独立国家都讲德语。可现在只剩四个：德国、奥地利、瑞士和列支敦士登。

坐落在瑞士和奥地利之间，列支敦士登公国东有阿尔卑斯山，西临莱茵河的一小部分，南边还有一座坚固的堡垒保护着列支敦士登所处峡谷的咽喉地带。这个中世纪封建制度遗留下来的诡异的小国，面积只有62平方英里。列支敦士登也是真正意义上的内陆国家，没有海港，甚至连个飞机场都没有。

列支敦士登有人口三万五千，都说德语，大多数是天主教徒，有着相当顽固的独立主义思想。

直到1984年，女性才拥有选举权。【初中英语150字伤感美文】

整个国家由十一个村组成。特里森贝格村位于峡谷高处，村子的中心是一座洋葱形圆顶教堂，这让几世纪前来到这里的的开拓者仿佛看到了瑞典西部的影子。 瓦杜兹镇坐落在山谷的底部。虽然镇上只有5000人口，但这里是列支敦士登的首都。小镇主要的步行街两边陈列着现代艺术雕像，并分布着旅店，与窗明几净的商务办公区相邻。

由于一些历史原因，欧洲的小国家们为企业提供税收和贸易结算的优惠政策。对于一个人口这么少的国家而言，列支敦士登的贸易往来已经很多了。很多欧洲公司总部都设在这儿，为的就是享受它的低税收政策。

这也是列支敦士登王子喜欢的方式，他的城堡高踞于他的领地上。这个已然是亿万富翁的王子，俯瞰着他长六英里，宽十二英里的国家，他在自己的王国挥

洒着比其他欧洲贵族更多的政治实权。

国立博物馆讲述了王子和他的国家的故事。他们的家族徽章可以追溯到中世纪，当时列支敦士登家族与统治神圣罗马帝国的哈布斯堡家族是很亲密的朋友。列支敦士登家族从神圣罗马帝国皇帝手上买下了这块地产。1719年，这块领土被正式册封为公国，只受罗马皇帝管辖。而住在维也纳附近的列支敦士登的王子们，只不过把自己的新国家当成地位的象征，几十年都懒得去探访一次。实际上，直到20世纪，才有第一位列支敦士登王子真正居住在这里。

1806年，在拿破仑统治期间，哈布斯堡王朝对于列支敦士登的统治结束了，而这个国家也获得了真正意义上的独立。再之后，经历了第一次世界大战，困难的境况迫使列支敦士登公国与瑞士形成了经济共同体。

直到今天，列支敦士登还是和自己那些瑞士邻居们有着亲密友好的合作关系。和瑞士一样，旅游和各种运动是列支敦士登的一大部分现代经济来源，它们能让游客们沉浸在那美丽的大自然风景中。空中缆车在冬夏都很流行，可以把大自然爱好者带到那些令人晕眩的的山脊上，那里正好是与奥地利交界处。就算是在很小很小的列支敦士登，风景一样很壮观，而去徒步旅行可供选择的地方也越来越多。

The Secret to Success: Fail a Little

成功秘诀：需要一点儿失败

I want this new school year to be a good one for my students as they learn about everything from calculus to Shakespeare to failure.

That’s right. Failure.

We all need to fail a little. In fact, the secret of success might just be that. Consider the path of Henry David Thoreau.【初中英语150字伤感美文】

By many accounts, Thoreau was a failure. Folks thought he should have been a civic leader. He could have been a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher. He might even have made congressman or governor.

Instead, the Harvard man seemed to spend most of his time 1)loafing in the woods near his hometown over near Walden Pond. Everyone just scratched their heads and wondered why such a promising young fellow wasn’t a “success.”

I’m not suggesting that my students drop classes for the woods, but it’s important to remember that ideas on success vary, even in these 2)enlightened times.

The lessons of failure are an important part of the 3)curriculum of success. We learn from them. They push us to do better; they teach us humility.

As a teacher, I expect students to revise their work, to build on the “failure” of the first draft to achieve clarity and insight in the final draft. That’s a good model for most things in life.

Part of the problem, though, is that we live in a country obsessed by results. In school it is the A student who gets all the perks even though getting an A doesn’t always measure how much a person really knows. A’s are icons of honor. F’s are badges of defeat.

We idealize icons and look up to heroes such as George Washington or 4)John

Glenn. Yet we shouldn’t discount the heroes who labor outside the limelight. Those

are the men and women who quietly go about the business of raising a family and taking care of their neighbors.

The most admirable are ones who invent their own success. They know how to seize the moment and let the chips fall where they may. They know that the best way to measure success is by living each day to the fullest.

True success is giving something back. And you don’t have to have a lot in the wallet to attain it. There are many people, young and old, who give back by serving in literacy campaigns and soup kitchens.

As my father used to say: “Make sure you leave the world a better place than it was when you entered it. At least clean up after yourself.”

The beginning of the school year is a good time to start reorienting ourselves. It’s a good time to see our failures in a new light.

After Thoreau died in 1862, his mentor, Ralph Waldo Emerson, 5)lamented that Henry hadn’t blossomed into a great leader of the nation. His books were little read, his ideas seemed 5)skewed. And yet, less than 100 years later, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. pointed to Thoreau’s essay Civil Disobedience as one of the sparks that ignited the civil rights movement and profoundly shaped American society. Not a bad legacy for a failure.

我希望这个新学年成为对学生有益的一个学年。他们将在新学年里学习很多东西，包括微积分、莎士比亚和失败。

没错，就是失败。

我们都需要有点儿失败的经历。事实上，成功的秘诀也许就在于此。以亨利?大卫?梭罗的人生道路为例吧。

根据多种流传的说法，梭罗的一生是失败的。人们认为他本该成为一名官员，他本来还可以成为医生、律师或教师，他甚至还可能当选众议员或州长。 然而，这位哈佛毕业生似乎把自己的大部分时间都用来在家乡附近瓦尔登湖畔的树林里闲逛。所有人都百思不得其解，不为什么这样一个前途光明的年轻人却没能“成功。”

我并不是建议我的学生逃课去树林里，但重要的是记住，即便是在现在这样开明的时代，对成功的定义也是不同的。

A Strange Present

One day, when I was 14, my uncle sent me a pink T-shirt from ST. Louis, Missouri as my birthday present. On a beautiful Sunday morning, I wore this pink T-shirt and walked gently to the market. On the way, some boys whistled at me. I became very nervous, so I walked faster and more properly with more decorum, but more and more boys whistled at me later. Therefore, I couldn’t help but become more agitated. Suddenly, I turned back and run to my home. I asked my mother, “Why did the boys whistled at me?” My mother looked at my T-shirt with a smile and said nothing. Then I turned to my father. “Why did the boys whistle at me?” My father looked at my beautiful new T-shirt and then laughingly asked, “Are you lonely?” Suddenly, I realized why the boys were whistling at me. The message on my pink T-shirt was“I am lonely”.

whistle: a small wind instrument for making whistling sounds by means of the breath 口哨 properly: characterized by appropriateness or suitability; fitting 恰当的 decorum: the conventions of polite behavior 礼貌

Vacations in Space

Want a ride in a spaceship? It will cost you about 20 million US dollars. At least that’s what Dennis Tito recently paid for a trip to the

International Space Station. What if you aren’t rich, but still want to travel in space? Don’t worry. Research supported by NASA might make your dream come true. Scientists are refining a process that, if successful, will enable rockets to take off from the back of an airplane. If people do end up taking vacations in space, don’t worry about finding somewhere to stay. Businessmen like British Richard Branson are already thinking about building hotels out there.

end up: 结束；告终

Keeping Pleasant

In these grim times, weighed down with tension and pressure from the

realities of life, many people have lost their sense of humor. They tend to keep a straight face all day long and fail to keep life in perspective. They forget how to smile and finally become physical and mental wrecks. They regard life as a burden, and tend to look on the dark side of things. Well goes a saying, “Laugh, and grow fat.” Laughter releases tension, and smiling helps create a pleasant social atmosphere. And, thus, in a way,

a sense of humor is an elixir that helps cure mental diseases. Some patients even improve their physical and mental health by reading

humorous stories or watching funny movies. This proves that a sense of humor helps us look at the world in a true and healthy light and makes our life worth living.

[注释]：

grim: rigid 无情的，严酷的

tension: uneasy suspense 紧张(状态)，不安

perspective: subjective evaluation of relative significance; a point of view 观点，评价； in dim bimbo 又笨又坏的女人

The Man I Respect Most

My father is the man I respect most. Stern as he may be, he never fails to【初中英语150字伤感美文】

show his care and consideration. Once I broke a neighbor’s window. Seeing nobody around, I ran away immediately. When Dad came home, he noticed my uneasiness and asked me what had happened. I could only tell him the truth. Rather than scold me, he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize to our neighbor. I learned from this episode that not only does Dad take care of our health but he also teaches us how to be good citizens. How lucky I am to have such a good father!

[注释]：

stern : severe, strict 严厉的

consideration : careful thought; deliberation 体谅，考虑

uneasiness : 不安

episode : an incident or event that is part of a progression or a larger sequence 插

My Time of Happiness Each Day As a student, most of my time is spent on school work and other

school-related activities. Consequently, my time of happiness each day is

very limited.

However, this is not to say that I am not happy every day. In fact, I really enjoy coming home from school each evening and having dinner with my family. After dinner, I read or watch some TV with my family. This is a happy time for me every day.

But my happiest time of a day is just before I fall asleep. Lying in

bed, I think about all I achieved that day, and it makes me happy to know that the day was full.

[注释]：

consequently : therefore 从而，因此

achieve : to perform or carry out with success; accomplish 完成，达到

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

《风雪夜 林边停》是一首著名的诗歌。写的是雪夜美景？写的是守诺如一？写的是

Don't judge a life by one difficult season

不要用一段艰难的时光来判定人生。

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, and the youngest son in the fall. 从前有一个人,他有四个儿子。他希望儿子们能学会不急于对事物下结论,于是依次派四个儿子出去,让他们去远方看一棵梨树。就这样,大儿子冬天前往,二儿子春天启程,三儿子夏天出发,而小儿子则是在秋天动身的。

人生如树,也有春、夏、秋、冬四季之分。树之四季皆有不同,更何况人之四季呢?所以凡事不要急于定论。

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. 等儿子们都去过回来之后,这位父亲把他们叫到一起,让他们描述各自的所见。The second son said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise二儿子却说并非如此--梨树绿芽初发,生机勃勃。. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, and it was the most graceful thing he had

ever seen. 三儿子不同意他们的看法,他说那颗梨树花苞满树、芬芳扑鼻、赏心悦目,是他见过的最美丽的事物。The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe3) and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

大儿子说梨树很难看,被压得很弯,枝干扭曲。小儿子的意见跟他们都不一样,他说那棵树果实累累,成熟在望,充满了生机和收获。

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree's life. 这位父亲说他们答得都对,因为他们都只看到了梨树生命中的一个季节。

He told them that they cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are - and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life - can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. 他告诉他们:不应仅凭一个季节来判断一棵树,一段时间来看一个人;最后,到所有的季节都已终结时,才能衡量一个人的本质--以及他生命中的快乐、喜悦和爱。

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

如果你在寒冬时放弃,你将失去春之希望,夏之灿烂,秋之收获。所以,不要让一时的痛苦毁弃你所有其他的快乐。
