英語美文：In Love's Arms

　　以下是小編整理的情感類英語美文欣賞： In Love's Arms，希望對(duì)你有所感觸。

　　“I’m going to marry you one day.” Beth said to herlong time crush Jake. She wore her favorite blueteddy bear shirt. Her four-year-old blue eyes shinedin the sun.

　　“No you’re not, you’re a girl.” Jake said.

　　The California afternoon wind blew his lightbrown hair. Jumping off the monkey bars he laughedback to class.

　　Sitting alone and confused she didn’t knowwhat to do. Beth sat high on the monkey barscrying. How can her future husband just leave like that?

　　She was going to get him, but how? “I will not let him get away! I won’t! I won’t!”

　　15 years later:

　　“I love you, too, Jake.” Hanging up the phone she caught her mom smiling. “What?”

　　“When is he coming in from France? He’s been there for awhile.” She sat down on her blackleather couch. The house was made up of different Indian stuff. On the walls were differentdream catchers. Her mother was a full blood Cherokee Indian. She passed away when Beth waseight.

　　“He has a lot of schooling to do right now. Maybe this Saturday.”

　　Fixing her short overalls she thought of Jake. Who would have thought they were going todate when she turned five?

　　“Is he still living in Colorado?” Her mother Kay wore a white tank top with tan pants. Andlong blonde hair with pretty blue eyes. She was the most beautiful woman on Earth. And Bethis looking like her by the minute.

　　“Yeah, I hate having a long distance relationship.” She plopped on a leather chair.

　　“It’s ok baby, you know he loves you more than anything in this world. Love will keep youtogether.”

　　Beth could not help but smile. Her mother is and will always be her best friend.

　　Jake sat in his hotel the school rented for him. School of law. He loved going overseas foreverything. But he missed being with Beth. That hurt him the most.

　　Spending the lonely nights in the hotel made him think of how much it would hurt to spendthe rest of his life without her in it.

　　Getting up off his bed he went into the bathroom. Watching his reflection in the mirror, allhe could think about was Beth. He would leave Thursday, and get there Friday night.

　　Turning off the light he jumped into the cold bed. On a coffee table near his bed rested aframe with them in it. It was taken at a beach about two years ago. It was the best time oftheir lives.

　　It was Thursday morning and Beth waited for Jake’s morning phone call. He would call ateight — it was ten.

　　Beth got out of bed and got her favorite blue tank top. She took off her shirt andscreamed at the top of her lungs.

　　“What? What?” Her mother came rushing into her room. Staring at her naked daughter shesaw the lump of her breast. “Does it hurt?”

　　Beth could only say “No.” Looking at the lump, she cried in pain.

　　“Let’s get you to the doctor.”

　　“Ok, let me get dressed.”

　　Shutting the door behind her, the room became silent. Shaking she put on her shirt, andran out into the living room.

　　“Mom, where are my blue shorts?”

　　“In the dresser, second drawer.”

　　Finishing getting dressed she hopped into her car. Her red mustang drove like a baby.

　　They waited for the doctor to come in. Beth could not begin to think she had cancer. As hermind drifted off her cell phone rang.

　　“Hello?” Her heart skipped a beat, hoping it was Jake.

　　“Hey, how are you?” He asked out of breath.

　　“Could be better. Why didn’t you call me this morning?”

　　“Sorry, school got ahold of me today.”

　　“Why are you out of breath?” Looking stunned she stared at her mother.

　　“I’m so sorry, he’ll call back.” Her mother gave Beth a hug.

　　The doctor came in, and greeted his self. “Hello. I’m Kevin Baker.” He smiled while examiningher breast.

　　A few minutes went by while they waited for ananswer. “Yeah, it’s cancer, it looks like it’s been therefor a while.”

　　Jake sat in the waiting room, unsure about goingin or not. He just waited, five minutes passed as hewalked towards a CNA. “Hi. My girl friend is seeing adoctor right now, can I have the room number?”

　　She checked her files. “What’s her name?”

　　“Beth Fowley.” Jake looked around the waitingroom.

　　“Jake!” Beth said surprised. She gave him a hug. He held her tightly, never wanting to let goof his angel. “I missed you so very much. I left last night; I could not stand being without youagain.” He kissed her lips.

　　“I missed you, too.” Beth answered back.

　　“Let’s go home.” Kay hugged Jake.

　　Once they got home Jake grabbed her by the hand and sat her down.

　　“Beth, I loved you all my life. Ever since I saw you on the monkey bars, saying you weregoing to marry me. I knew I loved you. I can’t spend another lonely night at home without youbeing there. You make my life complete. Will you marry me, Beth?”

　　Tears of pain flooded her blue eyes. “I can’t marry you.” She shook her head, “I just can’t.”

　　Getting up, her mother tried stopping her. But Beth closed the door behind her. The doorthat she hid behind, hoping one day she could wake up, and the cancer could be gone. AndJake can have a wonderful life with her. Forever. How can he love someone that is going to diefrom cancer?

　　A week passed, message after message, Beth would not answer. Her mother would answerthe phone every time he called. Jake had no idea what was going on. He needed to talk to Bethright away, and holding his phone calls was not going to help one bit. It couldn’t help thecanyon deep whole in his heart that was full of pain.

　　He had to see her, whether she liked it or not. He had to tell her he didn’t care whathappened to her, he still wanted to be with her. Getting dressed in his blue jean shorts, and hisfavorite white shirt she loved to see him in. He got into his car.

　　Reaching her door he looked in the driveway, her mother’s car was not there. Now shewould have to face him, and not hide behind her mother. He knocked.

　　“Coming.” Beth answered, she opened the door. She wore a red robe with her name on it.She got from her grandma a few years ago.

　　“Please let me in, we need to talk.”

　　She could not be rude. They needed to talk alright, about how he was going to lose hisonly love to cancer. How was he going to take that? She opened the door wider, and he slowlywalked in.

　　“I hate how you can’t talk to me. I hate that we can’t be together. Don’t you understand Ilove you?” He ran his hand through his brown hair frustrated. “You can tell me anything youneed to. I’m here for you today, tomorrow, and forever. And you know this. Now what iswrong?”

　　He cradled her on the leather couch. All her fears, and pain went away for that moment.Nothing seemed to matter, but him and her, together, forever. A silent tear ran down her rightcheek and landed on Jake’s shoulder.

　　“I love you, that’s why I have to let you go.” She wiped her tear. Jake hated to see her soupset; she was usually a strong willed person. Her coming down like this was not usual, and itfreaked him out.

　　“Let me go? Come on, what’s wrong?” Jake held her tighter, giving her a light kiss on hercheek.

　　“I have breast cancer. I found out a few weeks ago. I don’t want to marry you, and haveyou get hurt…”

　　He stopped her words with the sweetest kiss man could make. All her doubts and fearsslowly drifted away like the wind. Everything fell into place; they found the love they thoughtthey had missed.

　　They will forever be in love’s arms.

　　愛的港灣--總有一天我會(huì)嫁給你

　　貝絲對(duì)她愛慕已久的杰克說：“總有一天我會(huì)嫁給你。”她穿著最喜歡的帶玩具熊的藍(lán)色襯衣。四歲的她，藍(lán)色的眼睛在陽光下閃閃發(fā)亮。

　　杰克說：“不，不行，你還是一個(gè)小女孩呢。”

　　加利福尼亞午后的微風(fēng)吹拂著他淺棕色的頭發(fā)。他從單杠上跳下來，一路笑著跑回了教室。

　　貝絲獨(dú)自坐在那里，滿臉迷惑，不知所措。她坐在高高的單杠上哭起來。她未來的丈夫怎么就這樣走開了呢?

　　她一定要得到他，但該怎么做呢?“我不會(huì)讓他離開我!不會(huì)!絕不會(huì)!”

　　15年后

　　“我也愛你，杰克。”掛斷電話之后，她發(fā)現(xiàn)母親在笑。“怎么了?”

　　母親坐在黑皮沙發(fā)上說道：“他什么時(shí)候從法國回來啊?他在那里待了有一陣子了。”整棟房子都是印度風(fēng)格的設(shè)計(jì)，墻上掛滿了各種不同的捕夢(mèng)網(wǎng)。母親的母親是純正的切羅基印第安血統(tǒng)。在貝絲八歲時(shí)她就去世了。

　　“他現(xiàn)在學(xué)業(yè)很繁重，可能要到這周六才行。”

　　整理短褲的時(shí)候，她突然想起了杰克。在她還是個(gè)五歲孩子時(shí)，誰會(huì)想到他們會(huì)約會(huì)呢?

　　“他還在科羅拉多嗎?”她母親凱穿著白色的背心和褐色的短褲。她有著長長的金發(fā)和漂亮的藍(lán)眼睛。她是這個(gè)世界上最美麗的女人。貝絲長得越來越像她了。

　　“是的，我真討厭這種天各一方的感覺。”她一屁股坐在皮椅上。

　　“不要擔(dān)心，寶貝，你應(yīng)該明白他愛你勝過世界上的其他任何東西。愛會(huì)使你們?cè)谝黄鸬摹?rdquo;

　　貝絲禁不住笑了起來。母親現(xiàn)在是而且永遠(yuǎn)都會(huì)是她最好的朋友。

　　杰克坐在學(xué)校為他租的旅館里。他讀的是法學(xué)院。他愿意為了任何事情出國。但他又非常想念貝絲。這令他非常痛苦。

　　在旅館度過一個(gè)個(gè)孤單的夜晚，使他體會(huì)到生活中沒有了她將是多么痛苦。

　　他從床上爬起來，走進(jìn)浴室?？粗R子里的自己，腦子里想的卻都是貝絲。他周四就要出發(fā)，周五晚上就能夠到達(dá)。

　　他關(guān)了燈，爬上冰冷的床。在床邊的咖啡桌上有一張他們兩人的照片。那是兩年前他們?cè)诤＿吪牡?。那是他們生命中最美好的一段時(shí)光。

　　周四早上，貝絲正在等杰克的電話。他通常會(huì)在八點(diǎn)打過來，但現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)十點(diǎn)了。

　　貝絲下了床，拿出自己最喜歡的那件藍(lán)色襯衣。她脫下睡衣，突然尖叫起來。

　　她母親沖進(jìn)房間問道：“怎么了?怎么了?”看到女兒裸著身子，她注意到了她胸部的腫塊。“疼嗎?”

　　貝絲只是說“不”，她盯著那個(gè)腫塊，痛哭起來。

　　“走，我們?nèi)タ瘁t(yī)生。”

　　“好吧，我穿上衣服。”

　　她關(guān)上了門，屋內(nèi)一片寂靜。她顫抖著穿上了襯衣，突然跑回了客廳。

　　“媽媽，我的藍(lán)短褲呢?”

　　“在衣柜里，第二個(gè)抽屜。”

　　穿好衣服，她跳進(jìn)汽車。她的紅色野馬脫韁而出。

　　在等待醫(yī)生的時(shí)候，貝絲禁不住懷疑自己得了癌癥。正當(dāng)她的思緒游離的時(shí)候，手機(jī)響了。

　　“你好?”她的心跳加速，希望是杰克的電話。

　　“嘿，你好嗎?”他上氣不接下氣地問道。

　　“還不錯(cuò)。你今天早上怎么沒給我打電話?”

　　“對(duì)不起，今天學(xué)校事情比較多。”

　　“你怎么氣喘吁吁的啊?”她突然感到有點(diǎn)頭暈，看了母親一眼。

　　母親擁抱著貝絲說：“真是可惜，不過他還會(huì)打過來的。”

　　這時(shí)，醫(yī)生進(jìn)來并做了自我介紹：“您好，我是凱文·貝克。”在檢查她胸部的時(shí)候，他一直保持微笑。

　　幾分鐘過去了，她們等到了結(jié)果。“是的，是癌癥。而且好像已經(jīng)有一段時(shí)間了。”

　　杰克坐在候診室，不知道是否該進(jìn)去。他一直在那里等著，五分鐘之后，他走過去問一位助理護(hù)士：“你好，我女朋友在里面做檢查。你能告訴我她的房間號(hào)嗎?”

　　她看了一下記錄，問道：“她叫什么名字?”

　　杰克環(huán)顧了一下候診室，答道：“貝絲·福爾利。”

　　“杰克!”貝絲吃驚地喊道。她跑過去抱住他。他將她緊緊地?fù)碓趹牙?，好像永遠(yuǎn)不想讓他的天使飛走。“我太想你了，我昨天晚上就出發(fā)了。我再也無法忍受沒有你的日子了。”他親吻了她的雙唇。

　　貝絲回答道：“我也想你。”

　　凱擁抱了一下杰克說：“我們回家吧。”

　　他們一回到家，杰克就抓著她的手，讓她坐下來。

　　“貝絲，我愛你，一輩子。自從我在單杠上看到你的那天，你對(duì)我說要嫁給我開始，我就知道我愛上了你。沒有你在我身邊，我無法忍受獨(dú)自度過哪怕一個(gè)夜晚。你使我的生命變得完整。貝絲，嫁給我，好嗎?”

　　痛苦的眼淚涌出她藍(lán)色的眼睛，她搖著頭說：“我不能嫁給你，不能。”

　　母親從床上起來，想去阻止她。但是貝絲關(guān)上了門。她躲在門后，希望有一天當(dāng)她醒來后，癌癥能夠消失。她能和杰克共同享受幸福的生活，直到永遠(yuǎn)。但是，他怎么可能愛一個(gè)即將死于癌癥的人呢?

　　一周過去了，一條條的信息，貝絲都沒有回復(fù)。每次杰克打來電話都是母親去接。杰克不知道怎么回事。他需要馬上和貝絲談?wù)?，打電話已?jīng)解決不了任何問題。這無法填平他內(nèi)心身處痛苦的峽谷。

　　他必須親自見她，不論她喜歡與否。他要告訴她自己不在乎發(fā)生在她身上的任何事情。他仍然希望能與她在一起。他穿上了藍(lán)色牛仔短褲，還有那件他最愛的白襯衣，她最喜歡看他穿這件衣服。然后，他上了車。

　　來到她的家門，他看了一下車道。她母親的車不在。這次她必須要面對(duì)他，沒法躲在母親身后了。他敲了敲門。

　　“來啦，”貝絲說著，打開了門。她穿著一件紅色的睡袍，上面繡著自己的名字。那是幾年前，她祖母送給她的。

　　“請(qǐng)讓我進(jìn)去，我們需要談?wù)劇?rdquo;

　　她不能粗魯無禮。他們確實(shí)需要好好談?wù)劊務(wù)勊麑⑷绾慰粗约何┮坏膼廴吮话┌Y奪走。讓他如何接受?她把門開大些，他慢慢走了進(jìn)來。

　　“我不知道你為什么不和我談。我不知道為什么我們不能在一起。難道你不知道我有多愛你嗎?”他失落地把手插進(jìn)棕色的頭發(fā)里，繼續(xù)說道：“你可以告訴我任何你要說的事情。我今天在這里，明天，永遠(yuǎn)都在這里。你是知道的。但是，現(xiàn)在出了什么問題?”

　　他輕輕地抱著她坐在沙發(fā)上。那一刻，她所有的恐懼、痛苦都消失了。世界上任何事情都無所謂，只要他們能夠永遠(yuǎn)在一起。一行眼淚悄悄地從她的右臉頰上滴落，落在杰克的肩上。

　　她擦干淚水，說道：“我愛你，但這正是我讓你離開我的原因。”杰克不愿意看到她如此消沉。她是一個(gè)意志堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的人。她從未像現(xiàn)在這樣失落，這使他產(chǎn)生了一種不祥的感覺。

　　“讓我離開?天哪，到底為什么?”杰克更緊地?fù)碇?，在她的臉頰上輕輕地吻了一下。

　　“我得了乳癌，我也是在幾周前才知道。我不想嫁給你，因?yàn)槲也幌胱屇阃纯?hellip;…”

　　他用男人最甜蜜的熱吻打斷了她的話。她所有的疑慮和恐懼像風(fēng)一樣慢慢散去。所有的一切都恢復(fù)了正常，他們又找回了曾經(jīng)以為已經(jīng)失去的愛情。

　　他們將永遠(yuǎn)生活在愛的港灣。
