英语短篇美文青春气贯长虹，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。英语短篇美文2Onefineday,anoldcouplearoundtheageof70,walksintoalawyersoffice.Apparently,theyaretheretofileadivorce.Lawyerwasverypuzzled,afterhavingachatwiththem,hegottheirstory.Thiscouplehadbeenquarrelingalltheir40overyearsofmarriagenothingeverseemstogoright.Theyhangonbecauseoftheirchildren,afraidthatitmightaffecttheirup-bringing.Now,alltheirchildrenhavealreadygrownup,havetheirownfamily,theresnothingelsetheoldcouplehavetoworryabout,alltheywantedistoleadtheirownlifefreefromalltheseyearsofunhappinessfromtheirmarriage,sobothagreeonadivorce.Lawyerwashavingahardtimetryingtogetthepapersdone,becausehefeltthatafter40yearsofmarriageattheageof70,hecouldntunderstandwhytheoldcouplewouldstillwantsadivorce.Whiletheyweresigningthepapers,thewifetoldthehusband.Ireallyloveyou,butIreallycantcarryonanymore,Imsorry.ItsOK,Iunderstand.saidthehusband.Lookingatthis,thelawyersuggestedadinnertogether,justthreeofthem,wifethought,whynot,sincetheyarestillgoingbefriends.Atthediningtable,therewasasilenceofawkwardness.Thefirstdishwasroastedchicken,immediately,theoldmantookthedrumstickfortheoldlady.Takethis,itsyourfavorite.Lookingatthis,thelawyerthoughtmaybetheresstillachance,butthewifewasfrowningwhensheanswer.Thisisalwaystheproblem,youalwaysthinksohighlyofyourself,neverthoughtabouthowIfeel,dontyouknowthatIhatedrumsticksLittledidsheknowthat,overtheyears,thehusbandhavebeentryingallwaystopleaseher,littledidsheknowthatdrumstickswasthehusbandsfavorite.Littledidheknowthatsheneverthoughtheunderstandheratall,littledidheknowthatshehatesdrumstickseventhoughallhewantsisthebestforher.Thatnight,bothofthemcouldntsleep,tossandturn,tosssandturn.Afterhours,theoldmancouldnttakeitanymore,heknowsthathestilllovesher,andhecantcarryonlifewithout
