　　以下是小编整理的哲理类英语美文欣赏：秋天——收获的季节, 希望对你有所感触。

　　Autumn-the Harvest Season

　　The autumn, with its ripening fruits, and wavingharvest, is now with us. We see on every hand theresults of the farmer’s toil and forecast in thespringtime. Then it was that he broke up the soil,sowed the seed, pruned his trees, and guarded thetender plants. Now we see the ripening crops. Thetrees are bending with golden fruit, and abundancerewards farmer’s toil.

　　But suppose in spring the farmer had left the soilunturned, the seed unsown, the trees untrimmed, and everything neglected, what would nowbe the result? We should see nothing but barren fields, overrun with weeds and biers; and thefarmer would feel that a winter of want and distress is before him.

　　And let us remember that the autumn of life will come on apace; and that what we nowsow, we shall then reap. If we would reap an abundant harvest, and gather precious fruit,and secure an autumn of plenty prosperity, we must now, in the springtime of life, be diligentand careful in the cultivation of our hearts. We must form only those habits which willproduce good fruits. Our acts must be noble, our thoughts and our words must be pure, andour feelings must be kind. As we now sow, we shall then reap. If we “sow to the wind, we shallreap the whirlwind”.

　　伴着成熟的果实和翻腾的谷浪，秋天来到了我们身旁。从每一位农民的手上，我们看到了辛勤劳作的成果和春天期望的实现。在春天，是他们耕耘土地，拨下种籽，修剪果树，照看嫩苗。现在我们看到了成熟的庄稼。金黄的果实压弯了果树枝头，丰厚地回报农民的劳作。

　　但是，假定农民们在春天土地不耕，种籽不播，果实不修剪，什么都不干，那么现在会是什么结果呢?我们只会看到贫瘠的土地，野草疯长，荆棘丛生。这个时候农民们就会感觉到，一个匮乏而忧伤的冬季就在他们面前。

　　让我们记住，人生的秋天很快就会来临;我们现在播种什么，到那时就会收获什么。如果我们要获取丰硕的收成，摘取珍贵的果实，确保充裕旺盛的秋天，现在，在这个人生的春天，我们就必须勤勤恳恳、小心翼翼地培育我们的心灵。我们必须养成只会产生好的结果的习惯。我们的行为必须高尚，我们的思想和言语必须纯洁，我们的情操必须善良。我们现在播种，到时候定有收获。如果我们“风中播种，将来必然收获旋风”(“现在做坏事，将来必收恶果”)。
