急需:介绍一篇2~3分钟的英语美文朗诵,谢谢!~

A man came home form work late, tired and found his 5 years old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy,may I ask you a questIon ?" "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much do you make an hour? " " If you must know, I make $20 an hour."" Oh,"the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10" the father was furious, "If the only reason you asked

that is so you can borrow some money

to buy a silly toy, then you go to bed." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so,the man had calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed

to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the iIttle boy's room

and opened the door."Are you asleep, son?" he asked. "no daddy," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier." said the man, "Here's the $10 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry agaIn. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. "Why do you want more money? Is you already have some ?" the father asked. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "the little boy repiied, "Daddy , I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time ?Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

1.你是卓越的 You Are Awesome
Consider...YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion.
试想一下……你！一个空前绝后的你，不论是以往还是将来都不会有一个跟你一模一样的人。你在历史上和宇宙中都是独一无二的。哇！想想吧，你是万里挑一、亿里挑一、兆里挑一的。
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!
在无穷无尽的宇宙中，你是举世无双的！
You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.
你是了不起的！你是卓越的！没错，就是你。你已经是了不起的，是卓越的，你还可以更卓越更了不起。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇想，而美丽的老人却是艺术的杰作。但你不会因为年龄的渐长就自然而然地变得“美丽”。
Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.
真正的美丽源于生命里的学习、成长和热爱。这就是生命的艺术。你可以只听天由命, 慢慢地学，有时候或许会很痛苦。又或许你可以选择加速自己的成长，故意地挥霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描绘自己未来的艺术家。
Paint a Masterpiece.
画出一幅杰作吧！
God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.
上帝给了鸟儿食物，但他没有将食物扔到它们的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做决定的还是你自己。
unique adj. 独一无二的
awesome adj.了不起的, 精彩的
intentionally adv.有意地; 故意地
be up to sb 由某人决定
2. A Chip on Your Shoulder
肩上的碎屑
Every week at this time we tell the story of words and expressions used in American English. Some of them are old. Some are new. Together, they form the living speech of the American people.

Some popular expressions are a mystery. No one is sure how they developed. One of these is the expression, carry a chip on your shoulder. A person with a chip on his shoulder is a problem for anybody who must deal with him. He seems to be expecting trouble. Sometimes he seems to be saying, "I'm not happy about anything, but what are you going to do about it?"

A chip is a small piece of something, like a chip of wood. How did this chip get on a person's shoulder? Well, experts say the expression appears to have been first used in the United States more than one hundred years ago.

One writer believes that the expression might have come from an old saying. The saying warns against striking too high, or a chip might fall into your eye. That could be good advice. If you strike high up on a tree with an axe, the chip of wood that is cut off will fall into your eye. The saying becomes a warning about the dangers of attacking people who are in more important positions than you are.

Later, in the United States, some people would put a real chip on their shoulder as a test. They wanted to start a fight. They would wait for someone to be brave enough to try to hit it off.

The word chip appears in a number of special American expressions. Another is chip off the old block. This means that a child is exactly like a parent.

This expression goes back at least to the early sixteen hundreds. The British writer of plays, George Colman, wrote these lines in seventeen sixty-two. "You'll find him his father's own son, I believe. A chip off the old block, I promise you!"

The word chip can also be used in a threatening way to someone who is suspected of wrongdoing. An investigator may say, "We're going to let the chips fall where they may." This means the investigation is going to be complete and honest. It is also a warning that no one will be protected from being found guilty.

Chips are often used in card games. They represent money. A poker player may, at any time, decide to leave the game. He will turn in his chips in exchange for money or cash.

This lead to another meaning. A person who finished or died was said to have cashed in his chips. Which is a way of saying it is time for me to finish this program.
3.What will matter?
什么才重要？
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.

无论是否准备好，总有一天它都会走到尽头。 那里没有日出，没有白天，没有小时和分钟。 你收集的所有东西，不管你珍惜或忘记与否，它们都将流入他人手中。

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.

不管是你得到的或是你欠别人的，可你的财产、名誉和权势也都会变成和你毫不相干的东西。

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.

你的怨恨、愤慨、挫折和妒忌最终也将消失。
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire.

The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

因此，你的希望、抱负、计划以及行动日程表也将全部结束。 当初看得比较重的成功得失也会消失。

It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived.

你来自何方，住在穷人区还是富人区也都不重要了。

It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant.

你昔日的漂亮与辉煌也都不重要了，你的性别、肤色、种族地位也将消失。

So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?

因此，什么重要呢？ 怎么衡量你有生之年的价值呢？

What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.

重要的不是你买了什么，而是你创造了什么； 不是你得到了什么，而是你给予了什么。

What will matter is not your success, but your significance.

重要的不是你成功了，而是你生命的意义。

What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.

重要的不是你学到了什么，而是你传授了什么。

What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.

重要的是每个行动之中都有正直和勇气的气概，伟大的同情心和牺牲精神，并且鼓励他人遵从榜样。

What will matter is not your competence, but your character.

重要的不是你的能力，而是你的性格。

What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you re gone.

重要的不是你认识多少人，而是在你离开后，别人会认为是个永远的损失。

What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you.

重要的不是你想念谁，而是爱你的人想念你。

What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

重要的是别人会记你多长时间，谁记着你，为什么记着你。

Living a life that matters doesn’ t happen by accident.

过一种有意义的生活不是一件偶然的事情。

It s not a matter of circumstance but of choice.

那不是环境的问题，而是选择的问题。

Choose to live a life that matters.

选择有意义的人生吧！

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,

Sometimes in life,
You find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convince you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.
This is Forever Friendship.
有时候在生活中，
你会找到一个特别的朋友；
他只是你生活中的一部分内容，却能改变你整个的生活。
他会把你逗得开怀大笑；
他会让你相信人间有真情。
他会让你确信，真的有一扇不加锁的门，在等待着你去开启。
这就是永远的友谊。
When you're down,
and the world seems dark and empty,
Your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.
Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times.
If you turn and walk away,
Your forever friend follows.
当你失意，
当世界变得黯淡与空虚，
你真正的朋友会让你振作起来，原本黯淡、空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实。
你真正的朋友会与你一同度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。
你转身走开时，
真正的朋友会紧紧相随。
If you lose your way,
Your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.
Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.
你迷失方向时，
真正的朋友会引导你，鼓励你。
真正的朋友会握着你的手，告诉你一切都会好起来的。
And if you find such a friend,
You feel happy and complete,
Because you need not worry.
You have a forever friend for life,
And forever has no end.
如果你找到了这样的朋友，
你会快乐，觉得人生完整，
因为你无需要再忧虑。
你拥有了一个真正的朋友，
永永远远，永无止境

though the voices around you
kept shout
their bad advice--
有一天，你终于知道，
什么是你必须得做，并开始去做，
虽然你周围的声音，
一直喊出，
其各种糟糕的建议——
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankle.
“mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
虽然整个房子，
开始颤抖，
你亦感到那条旧绳索，
绊住了你的脚踝。
“修补我的人生！”
每个声音都在哭喊。
但你并没停止。
你知道什么是你必须得做的，
though the wind pry
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundation
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branch and stones.
虽然风用它僵硬的手指，
直往根基，
撬捣，
虽然它们的忧郁，
着实可怕。
天色，
已经很晚，这是个疯狂的夜晚，
路上满是倒下的，
断枝和石头。
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determine to do
the only thing you could do--
determined to save
the only life you could save.
但渐渐地，
当你将它们的声音抛在身后，
星星开始穿透云层，
散发光辉，
一个新的声音出现了，
你慢慢，
意识到，那是你自己的声音，
它伴随着你，
伴你步步，
深入世途，
决心去做，
你唯一能做的事——
决定去拯救，
你唯一能拯救的生命。

只要多读多练读两三遍就会背了

我这里有，可是我要怎么给你呢？你最好给我一个邮箱吧。
