門|季節(jié)益廣

美國詩人朗費羅在他的《人生贊歌》中說，過著有意義生活的人對人類社會做出了貢獻(xiàn)，留下了一些足跡，供后人效仿。每個時代都有代表那個時代的思想，每個民族都有反映自己民族智慧的語言，這種思想和語言的精髓都集中在人民群眾及其代表人物的地理名言上。

人類文明經(jīng)歷了數(shù)千年的歷史。在漫長的歷史中涌現(xiàn)出無數(shù)英雄豪杰和智書人。

他們中的一些人是著名政治家、著名思想家、哲學(xué)家、文學(xué)家、科學(xué)家和各界知名人士。這些名人的名言反映了各自民族優(yōu)秀的文化傳統(tǒng)、高尚的道德情操、深刻的人生哲理和豐富的生活經(jīng)驗。他們就像陽光。照亮了人們的心。像燈塔一樣指引人生的航線。春風(fēng)般吹來的百花盛開。像雨露一樣滋潤萬物的生長。像火一樣可以鍛煉我們的意志。像晴天一樣可以凈化我們的心靈。世世代代受到人們的喜愛和歌頌。

人們從中吸取了豐富的精神營養(yǎng)，獲得了自信、勇氣、智慧和力量。萬物需要雨水和陽光，萬物之靈人類除了一般的物質(zhì)需求外，精神食糧必須是不可缺少的，名門格言是濃縮各種精神營養(yǎng)的寶貴食糧。

數(shù)千年燦爛的人類文化就像浩瀚的大海，無邊無際的蒼穹。精選深刻的意義、格調(diào)、優(yōu)雅的語言和美麗的名言，使其成為我們理想的生活指南，幫助我們理解生活的真諦，掌握自己的命運。(威廉莎士比亞，哈姆雷特，語言)讓它們成為提高我們素質(zhì)修養(yǎng)的指標(biāo)，道伊美化了我們的感情，美化了我們的心，拓寬了我們的視野，啟發(fā)了我們的智慧。同時，將語言學(xué)習(xí)和文學(xué)鑒賞有機地結(jié)合起來。

在這種語言的精髓中，我們不僅可以欣賞色彩燦爛、珠子茂盛的美麗思想，還可以感受到語言所能具有的宏偉氣勢和令人心碎的力量，還可以欣賞其中深邃的哲理、豐富的想象力、精巧的構(gòu)思和新穎的表達(dá)方式。

作為英語學(xué)習(xí)者，當(dāng)你在演講討論中以暫時的語調(diào)焦慮時，當(dāng)你為老師的英語作文撓腮時，掌握一定量的英語名人名言，將有助于你的演講和寫作。值得一提的是，我希望你用批評的眼光閱讀和欣賞這些思想。(約翰f肯尼迪)。
