  2021年6月英语六级背诵范文:Two Views of the River

  Now when I had mastered the language of this water,

  and had come to know every trifling feature that bordered the great river

  as familiarly as I knew the letters of the alphabet,

  I had made a valuable acquisition.

  But I had lost something, too.

  I had lost something which could never be restored to me while I lived.

  All the grace, the beauty, the poetry, had gone out of the majestic river!

  I still kept in mind a certain wonderful sunset which I witnessed

  when steamboating was new to me.

  A broad expanse of the river was turned to blood;

  in the middle distance the red hue brightened into gold,

  through which a solitary log came floating, black and conspicuous;

  in one place, a long slanting mark lay sparkling upon the water;

  in another the surface was broken by boiling, tumbling rings,

  that were as many-tinted as an opal;

  where the ruddy flush was faintest,

  was a smooth spot that was covered with graceful circles and radiating lines,

  ever so delicately traced;

  the shore on our left was densely wooded,

  and the somber shadow that fell from this forest

  was broken in one place by a long, ruffled trail that shone like silver;

  and high above the forest wall a clean-stemmed dead tree waved a single leafy bough

  that glowed like a flame in the unobstructed splendor that was flowing from the sun.

  There were graceful curves,reflected images, woody heights,soft distances;

  and over the whole scene, far and near, the dissolving lights drifted steadily,

  enriching it every passing moment with new marvels of coloring.
