高中生哲理英語美文篇1

What is off limits to criticize women about?

Some work friends and I were recently discussing things that men can not criticize their girlfriends about. It was astounding令人震驚的 how incorrect us guys were when trying to lay out展示，安排 our "rights" in terms of constructive criticism. The women in the office were appalled at被……嚇壞 what we thought we were allowed to talk about. If I could figure out what I am allowed to criticize and what I should stay away from躲避, I'd avoid arguments and do a better job of hitting on偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)，突然想到 girls.

I'm guilty of saying things to women that only their best girlfriends, gay male friends, and moms/sisters are allowed to say. I put together a list below:

Weight

There is no friendly way for a guy to tell a girl that she's put on weight. Even if there was a friendly way, most of the women I've talked to about it said they would not want to hear it from a guy. It seems obvious, but not all guys know this. We polled some of the guys in our office, and the prevailing一般的，普遍的 male opinion was as long as she's your girlfriend, or you've known each other for a while, then you can make weight loss suggestions. I think the best policy is silence. If I'm desperate to make a suggestion, maybe I tell one of her girlfriends to do it on my behalf.

Outfit

I think I'm only allowed to say someone generally looks nice, or I like her shirt or whatever. Getting too detailed or negative gets me in trouble. In fact, I attempted to "add on" to a compliment恭維 I gave a girl once. I told her she looked great, because she had a new outfit裝備，用具 on. Now, remembering those times I saw my sisters or friends bark back "thanks, and just $30 from Target," I tried to double up on my compliment: "and it looks like you didn't pay much money either." She ended up crying. I've been told by women that they dress more to impress other women anyway, and not guys. Basically, I need to stick to "you look great" and leave it there. And I should probably avoid saying I don't like something a girl is wearing. That can only lead to no good.

Friends/Family

We've all dated people with annoying friends. But, people consider their friends as extensions of themselves so if you criticize friends, you're criticizing your significant other indirectly. My older sister has a good system of putting the word "that" in front of any of her husband's friends that annoy her. "Oh you're going with that Mike to the concert?" It's not an aggressive attack, just a little poke戳，刺. Family is the same rule, but you probably get in even more trouble if you criticize the family of a significant other.

Driving

Every guy thinks he's a better driver than his girlfriend. I can learn a lot from my little sister's boyfriend. One day, my sister was driving the two of us to Baltimore for a weekend. My sister is a really bad driver. She doesn't brake when she sees brake lights ahead until she absolutely has to. This leads to passenger whiplash鞭繩 and nausea惡心，暈船. During this trip I said: "you know, you can brake earlier- that way you're not slamming砰得關(guān)上 on the brakes at the last minute and making us all sick." She said: "do I do that?" I turned around to her boyfriend for confirmation and he simply said: "no comment". My sister's boyfriend loves me because I am allowed to verbalize累贅，嘮叨 all the criticisms that he's thinking.

I like the "no comment" policy. But I can't stand not to give my opinion to women, even when it's bad. I want to learn the things I should hold off from criticizing about women. Do you agree with the items above? What do you hate being criticized about by guys?

A moving letter to my wife

When Christian Spragg’s wife Joanne gave birth they were full of excitement… until she died just hours later. In a moving letter, Christian tells why he'll make sure their daughter Ilaria knows all about her mum.

My darling Joanne,

I still remember the conversation we had just a month before our baby daughter Ilaria was born.

Out of the blue突然地，意外地 you asked me how I'd look after her if anything happened to you. I remember telling you not to be silly but you were serious. "I'd just want you to tell her often how much her mummy loved her," you said.

"And to tell her what sort of person I was. And make sure she's clean and tidy and eats her vegetables!" Now I'm so glad we had that conversation. And I hope I've done things as you wanted.

I just wish with all my heart that you were here to enjoy all the special moments we've shared since you were taken from us.

The memories of our time together are so treasured for me now.

You used to laugh when I said I fell in love with you the moment we met but I did. I saw you in a nightclub and finally gathered the courage to ask if you'd like a drink. I couldn't believe my luck when you said yes.

I asked you to be my wife in Venice.

We splashed out大手大腳地花錢 on a gondola兩頭尖的平底船 ride, giggling傻笑 to ourselves. I remember you tilted your head up to the sun and told me that this was one of the best days of your life. And when you walked down the aisle通道，走道 I knew I'd married my soulmate, "the one".

When we found out you were pregnant we were ecstatic狂喜的 and soon we discovered it was a girl and spent the months running up to the birth getting the nursery ready.

Every time our baby kicked you'd grab my hand, put it on your tummy胃，肚子 and say, "Can you feel her Christian? She's so lively!"

You wanted to call our daughter Ilaria after a family friend you'd met in Venice. You found out that in Latin it meant "always happy."

We saw Ilaria before she was born. We had a 3D scan where you can see your baby's face – she was beautiful.

I am so thankful we did that now. When you went two weeks past your due date the hospital near our home in Bolton wanted to induce you. It's hard for me to think straight about what happened next.

When Ilaria was ready to come the midwife助產(chǎn)士 told you to push but Ilaria's heartbeat dropped – she was in distress遇難，在困境中.

You looked at me in terror as we were surrounded by doctors trying to get Ilaria out. When she was born she was blue and nurses rushed her to the special care baby unit. You screamed, "Is she OK?" and all I could say was, "Yes, she's beautiful, just like you."

It breaks my heart you never even saw your daughter, let alone更不必說 held her. Then your heart rate started going up and your blood pressure started going down. Doctors said they had to get you into theatre straight away.

As they wheeled you out I grabbed your foot and said "I love you". It was the last time I saw you alive.

Minutes later a doctor took me aside and told me Ilaria was showing signs of major brain damage and they didn't expect her to live. I didn't know which of you to turn to first.

I went to see Ilaria in her incubator早產(chǎn)兒保育器. Half an hour later doctors told me the news that would change my life forever. There had been massive bleeding and as they tried to operate you'd had a cardiac arrest心搏停止.

My world fell apart. I remember shouting, "Why?"

You were just 27, healthy as can be, and now you were gone. An aneurysm動脈瘤 had caused the bleeding.

No-one could have foreseen it, the doctors did all they could. In the chapel of rest you looked like you were sleeping peacefully. I kissed your face and stroked your hair as I sobbed.

I felt totally lost. Then a nurse came to find me and said something amazing had happened and led me to Ilaria. She'd pulled all the tubes out of her chest and nose and was breathing on her own. The nurses said it was a miracle.

It seemed our Ilaria was determined to stay alive. A nurse laid her in my arms and she began to cry. "Don't worry, Daddy's here," I told her, and she immediately stopped crying.

Our daughter was going to live.

It was as if you'd said, "God, you can have me, but you're not having my daughter."

Suddenly, from feeling I had nothing left to live for, I had Ilaria. I changed her first nappy尿布, gave her her first bottle – I thought about how you'd have done it and tried to do it the same way.

But then it was back to the terrible reality – your funeral.

Four hundred people attended as the vicar教區(qū)牧師 who'd married us buried you just three years later.

Waiting for the Breeze

Lying in bed, by an open window, and listen.....

窗邊靜躺，細(xì)心聆聽······

"No air-conditioning, how can you sleep?" my fiend asks, horrified. I've just revealed that my family had decided to shut the air-conditioner off and trim our electric bill.

“不開空調(diào)?能睡得著嗎?”聽說家人要為了節(jié)省電費而把家里的空調(diào)關(guān)掉時，我的朋友一臉驚愕。

On its first night of our cost-cutting adventure, it's only eighty-five degrees. We're not going to suffer, but the three kids grumble anyway.

在大膽嘗試節(jié)電的第一天晚上，氣溫不過華氏85°而已，我們并不覺得難受，但三個孩子卻怨聲連天。

"It's too hot to sleep." my thirteen-year-old daught moans. "I'm about to die from this heat!" her brother hollers down the hall. "Just try it tonight." I tell them. In truth, I'm too tired to argue for long. My face is sweaty, but I lie quietly, listening to the criket choirs outside. That remind me of childhood.

“太熱了!怎么睡啊!”我十三歲的女兒不停嘀咕著?！盁崴牢依?”他弟弟的牢騷聲也從客廳的另一頭傳來。我只好說：“今晚就試著忍一忍，好嗎?”其實我根本沒有余力多做解釋。臉上也出汗了。我靜靜地躺著，聆聽著窗外蟋蟀的合奏曲，思緒被牽回到了童年時光。

I think about my grandma, who lived to ninety-two and still supervised my mom's garden until just few weeks before she died. And then I'm back there in her house in the summer heat of my child hood. I moved my pillow to the foot of grandma's bed and angled my face toward the open window. I flipped the pillow, hunting for the cooller side.

這是我禁不住想起了外婆，她活到了92歲，直到去世前的幾個禮拜，她一直都幫助媽媽照料著花園?；氐酵暄谉岬南奶?，回到了外婆的小屋，我把枕頭移到外婆的床位，臉朝著窗。之后我又把枕頭翻了過來，讓比較涼爽的一頭朝上。

Grandma sees me thrashing, "if you just watch for the breeze," she says, "you'll cool off and fall asleep." She cranks up the Vanetian Blinds. I stare at the filmy white curtain, willing it to flutter. Lying still and waiting, I suddenly notice that life outside the window, the bug chorus. Neighbours, porch-sitting late, speaking in hazy words with sanded edges that soothe me.

看到我翻來翻去地睡不著，外婆說：“只要用心去感受和祈盼，風(fēng)會來的，這樣你就可以一身清涼地入夢鄉(xiāng)了?！彼寻偃~窗拉了起來，于是我就一直注視著朦朧的白窗簾，等待它的飄動。靜靜地躺著，祈盼著，這是我忽然找到，窗外世界的生命。小蟲的清唱;門廊外閑聊著的鄰居，他們模糊不清的喋喋細(xì)語開始催我入眠······

"Mom, did you heat that?" my seven-year-old blurts, "I think it was an owl family."

“媽媽，您聽到了嗎?”我7歲的孩子囔道，“我覺得那是一頭貓頭鷹一家子在叫?！?/p>

"Probably." I tell him, "Just keep listening!"

“很有可能!”我跟他說，“再仔細(xì)聽!”

Without the droning air-conditioner, the house is oddly peaceful, and the unfiltered noise seems close enough to touch. I hope I'm awake tonight that the first breeze sneaks in.

沒有了空調(diào)機的嗡嗡聲，房間飄逸著一種奇異的祥和氣氛，還有未經(jīng)過濾的、親近的伸手就可觸及的夜聲。真的希望，當(dāng)?shù)谝豢|清風(fēng)悄然而至的時候，我依然能夠迎接她的到來。
