英语励志美文带翻译:一种无私的自私
A sort of unselfish selfishness
by WARD GREENE
When a man is ten, he has a boy's faith in almost everthing: even Santa Claus is a belief he is not quite ready to give up so long as there is a chance the old gentleman may really live and deliver. When a man is twenty, he is closer to compete disillusion and stronger conviction than he will probably ever be in his life.
This is the age of atheists and agnostics; it is also the age of martyrs. Jesus Christ must have been a very young man when he died on the cross; Joan of Arc, they say, was only nineteen as the flames consumed her. It is in the later years---oh, anywhere from thirty to fifty---that a man at some time stands with the tatters of his hopes and dreams fallen from him and asks himself:"What, indeed, do i believe?"
He is very apt, then, to cling to the words of other men who have written for him the shadow signposts that come as anything to poiting pathways he found best in the past and roads he will trust on the way ahead. These words may be mere copybook maxims: that honesty is the best policy, or haste makes waste. They may be alone from Shakespeare---
"To thine own self be true"---or from the bible---"All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them"---or from the poets" i myself am Heaven and Hell". They may seem a sort of hodgepodge in a man's mind, yet they can make a pattern not inconsistent and not weak.
So if i believe that i myself am Heaven and Hell, that anything less than honesty to myself and others is a boomerang on them and me; if my translation of the Golden Rule is simple acts of kindness and understanding and compassion, practiced in the hope that they will be shown to me, then i have a way of life that is a sort of unselfish selfishness. The bald statement may sound cynical, but if i can follow that way, i shall not be too unhappy here and i may face death with regret but an untroubled face and a stout heart.
But there are blocks and pitfalls in a way of life, even assuming that a man can adhere to it steadfastly despite his own inclinations to deviate. These obstacles are the work other men who adhere to other ways. Hence kindness and compassion are not enough.
A man, i believe, must have courage and fortitude and a burning sense of justice, too. There are times we should turn the other cheek, but there are likewise times when we must fight the good fight. When? Well, if a fellow can't find the answer on the signposts or in his heart, i guess he has just got to pray.
英语励志美文带翻译:面具让我窒息
A Mask was Stifling Me');
Lucy Freeman
露西?弗里曼
I believe that everyone wants to love and be loved and that happiness stems from a facing and acceptance of self that allows you to give and receive love.
我相信,爱与被爱是每个人的渴望。一个人是否幸福,关键在于他是否拥有爱并能够接受爱。
Some think of love as a passionate, hungry, dramatic feeling, all consuming in intensity and desire. As I see it, this is, rather, immature love: it is a demand on others, not a giving of oneself. Mature love, the love that brings happiness, flows out of an inner fullness, and accepts, understands and is tender toward the other person. It does not ask to be served but only where it may serve.
在有些人看来,爱就是一种充满活力、渴望且极富戏剧性的情感,是占有一切的激情与欲望。而我认为,这种爱是极不成熟的爱:它是向他人的索求,而不是奉献。只有成熟的爱才能带来幸福,它是内心真挚情感的流露,能够接受并理解他人,给予对方温柔与体贴。它不索求服务,而是处处提供服务。
Six years ago I could hardly breathe because of acute sinus. My stomach was always upset and full of queasiness and I had trouble sleeping, even though I felt exhausted all the time. In desperation, after doctors who treated the physical symptoms failed to ease the pain, I tried psychoanalysis. I was lucky to find a wise, compassionate man who showed me what it meant to be able to trust myself and others.
6年前,由于身患急性鼻窦炎,我几乎难以呼吸。胃部也常感不适,易恶心呕吐。失眠问题也一直困扰着我,即使我感到疲惫不堪却依然辗转难眠。可是,医生对我的病症所做的治疗却毫不奏效,我的痛苦丝毫未减。绝望中,我尝试了心理疗法。很幸运的是,我找到了一位博学、热情的医生,他让我懂得了,能够相信自己与他人的意义所在。
The physical ills are gone, but more than that, I have at long last started to acquire a philosophy of living. I had never possessed one. I had lived on dogma and dicta which I had accepted unquestioningly through the years, even though I believed little of it, because I feared to question. But by being unable to live naturally and at peace with myself I was flying in the face of nature. She was punishing me with illness and, at the same time, informing me all was not well just in case I wanted to do something about it.
我身体的疾病得以治愈,而更多的是我最终开始学会一门生活的哲学。我一直是一个循规蹈矩的人,虽然我并不相信那些教条与格言,但多年来,由于不敢质疑,我一直不假思索地将其视为生活的准则。然而我却难以正常而平静地生活,总是坐立不安。最终,我受到了惩罚,病魔缠身,同时也得到了启示:必须对现状做出改变,否则将万事不顺。
In order to change, I needed help in facing myself. For me it was not easy to “know thyself”. All my life I had accepted the lesser of the two evils and run away from self because truth was more dangerous. Once I thought that to survive I had to put on a mask and forget what lay underneath. But masks are false protections and the inner part of me refused to go unheard forever.
为了改变现状,我需要帮助来面对自我。对我来说,“认识自己”并不是件简单的事。一生中,我选择了两个罪恶中较轻的一个:逃避自我,因为真相往往更为危险。曾经我以为,戴上面具,忘记面具下的一切,就能生存下去。
It caught up eventually, and unless it was to master me I had to face such feelings as fear, anger, envy, hatred, jealousy and excessive need for attention. When I realized I could not have done anything else except what I did, I was able to like myself more and be able to like others not for what they could give me but for what I could give to them.
然而,面具是虚假的掩护,我的内心决不肯永远缄默。最终这种情感占了上风,如果它不曾主宰我,我就依然得面对恐惧、愤怒、羡慕、仇恨、嫉妒和极其需要关注的情感。除了顺从自己的内心,我别无选择,当我意识到这一点时,我便更喜欢自己,也更爱他人。这并不是为了他人能给予我什么,而是我能给予他们什么。
The Bible shows the way to easy, happy living in many of its pages. It advises, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Those who expect the most are apt to receive the least. I had expected much and was filled with fury because nothing in the outside world relieved my emptiness and despair. Nothing did, either, until I could face the anger and fury, the emptiness and despair, and slowly start to know such new feelings as compassion, conviction, control, calm. I learned, too, of reason—that judicious combination of thought and feeling that enables me to take more responsibility for myself and others, that allows me to slay the ghosts of the past.
如何能简单幸福地生活,《圣经》中的众多例子都告诉了我们。它建议:“施比受更有福。”那些期望最多的人,往往收获最少。曾经,我期望颇多,内心却充满了愤怒与狂躁,因为外界任何事物都无法填补我内心的空虚与绝望。一切都于事无补,直到我能够面对愤怒、狂躁、空虚与绝望,并慢慢地开始懂得同情、信仰、自制与平静这些新的情感。我也明白了,理智正是思想与情感最明智的结合,它能够让我为自己与他人承担起更多的责任,驱除往昔纠缠我的幽灵。
For me there is much hard work ahead to achieve greater happiness. Yet, the very struggle I have put into achieving a measure of it makes happiness that much more dear.
对我来说,要想更加幸福,还需付出更多艰辛的努力。但是,为获得一定程度的幸福而付出的艰辛努力,才使得幸福弥足珍贵。
英语励志美文带翻译:心脏定律
The Law of the Heart
by J. George Frederick
J.乔治?弗雷德里克
At long last I have come to a rather simple point as to what I believe. I believe in what I choose to call “The Law of the Heart”.
最终,我明白可以将自己的信仰 总结 为一点,即所谓的“心脏定律”。
In the medical world this phrase, The Law of the Heart, means the great discovery by Professor Ernest Henry Starling of the precise method by which the heart accelerates and retards itself through the heart muscle; also the manner in which it accomplishes the vital twoway exchange of fluids between the bloodstream and the body tissues.
这个 短语 是医学界欧内斯特?亨利?斯塔林教授的一项伟大发现,是证明心脏跳动在心肌作用下加快和减弱的精确 方法 ;同时,他还发现,心脏进行的血液和体液相互渗透,对生命的存活而言是极其重要。人与人之间需要有重要的情感双向交流,这是我的人生观。
In my view of life there is also supremely needful a vital twoway exchange of heart qualities between human beings. Without it the human spirit and relationship to other spirits is lifeless and dangerous. Dependence on head qualities is mechanical and empty, just as we have discovered that babies do not thrive, even with technically expert nursing care, without mother love.
如果没有这种交流,那么一个人的灵魂及与他人的关系就会死气沉沉,危机重重。依赖理智会使人变得机械而空虚,正如我们发现的缺乏母爱的婴儿,即使在专业的技术护理下,也无法茁壮成长。
The Law of the Heart, in my belief, then, means that I can achieve greatest physical and mental health, and have the most constructive relations with life and people, if my matured emotional self dominates my motives and actions. When, after due consultation with my head, the true heart speaks, it is the finest and most mellowed judgment that I, human creature, am capable of. Man is indivisible, I believe; he is a whole; mind, spirit, body—but with only one real, fully representative voice—the voice of the heart.
我认为,心脏定律的涵义就是,如果我的感情成熟到可以支配自己的动机和行为,那就能达到身心健康的最佳状态,也就可以在生活中与他人建立最具建设性的关系。在与头脑适当地协商后,我所表达出的真正心声便是我作为人所能做出的最绝妙、最成熟的判断。我坚信,人是一个不可分割的整体,是由心灵、精神、肉体构成的一个整体,但唯有心灵之声才是充分代表人类思想的真实声音。
There is, in my belief, very suggestive symbolism in the means by which the Law of the Heart operates. We know that man needs to give others weaker, less fortunate, a transfusion of his blood as proof of fellowship. We know that hearts and arteries which are hard and unresponsive can bring the retribution of sudden death. We know that hearts which beat in unison with the problems, pains, miseries and needs of others know celestial music which can never be known to those who do not.
在我看来,心脏定律的作用方式充满了启发性与象征性。我们知道,为证明我们对其他虚弱、不幸之人的友善,我们需要给他们输血。我们了解,心脏和动脉僵硬且毫无反应时,就会导致猝死。我们明白,当心脏随着他人的困难、痛苦、不幸与需求而跳动时
We know that hearts capable of quickened pulse at the sight of beauty and nobility, courage and sacrifice, love and tenderness, a child or a sunset, achieve intensities of living—a song in their hearts—unknown to others. We know that those who choke off the heart’s native impulses will likely bring on a coronary thrombosis of obstructed emotion which can cripple.
我们就能领略到无此善心者所无从知晓的天籁之音;面对美丽、高贵、勇敢、奉献、关爱、温暖、孩子或夕阳时,心跳就会加快,并因此获得了生活的激情。那是他们的心灵之歌。是他人所不得而知的事物。我们都知道,人若是抑制心灵本能的冲动,就很可能会因内心情感的压抑,而导致冠心病的突发,甚至造成残废。
The first Law of the Heart, I feel sure, is to pulsate, to love. To fail to pulsate and love is swift and certain spiritual death. There are far, far too many of us who seem obsessed with self, unable or unwilling to love. The second Law of the Heart, I believe, is to give, and forgive, to sacrifice. The heart is the great supplier and giver to every remote atom in the body. The heart muscle is the strongest in the whole body.
我确信,心脏定律的第一条便是心跳,是爱。没有了心跳,不再去爱,精神无疑就会迅速衰竭。我们当中有太多的人总是以自我为中心,不能或不愿意去爱。我坚信,心脏定律的第二条是付出、宽恕和牺牲。心脏是身体每一个微小细胞原的能量供给中心,而整个身体中,最强韧的部分便是心肌。
These things I know and believe, and they provide me with the foundation of what I call my humanistic philosophy of life. It works for me. I feel close to the earth with it. Yet face uplifted. The heart is closer to everlasting reality, although I am fully aware that I must not let raw emotion masquerade as a heart quality, and that the immature heart can make serious errors. The educated, matured heart is, to my belief, not only the noblest thing in man but also the great hope of the world.
我的人道主义生活哲学正是基于这些我所知道并相信的知识。它们为我所用。也正因为有它,我才感觉自己能更接近现实,昂首面对生活。我的心更接近永恒的现实,虽然我完全明白,不能将虚伪的粗俗情感当成心灵的特质,而且心灵不成熟便易于导致严重的错误。我相信,拥有良好的 教育 及成熟的心灵,不仅是人类最为高贵的品质,也是世界的伟大希望。

美文欣赏:没有通往幸福的路,幸福本身就是一条路
Too many people think of happiness as the ultimate goal of life. But, if you’re waiting for happiness to arrive then it’s likely that it never will!
有太多人把幸福当作人生的终极目标,但如果你只是等待幸福来敲门,幸福可能永远都不会到来!
You’re always wanting something more, always looking forward to a time when you’ll be “happy”. And, if you fall into this trap, you’ll never reach that goal. Happiness should not be your life’s goal, it should be your life! The only time to be happy is right now! It’s state of mind, not a set of accomplishments or the accumulation of material things. You must accept that life will always have challenges and things will not always go your way.
你总是期待得到更多,总是期待着你变“幸福”的那一刻。然而,如果你陷入这种思维陷阱,那你永远也达不到这个目的。幸福不该是生活的目标,它应该是生活本身!幸福唯一该存在的时刻,就是每时每刻的现在!它是一种心态,而不是一连串的成就,或者物质财富的积累。你必须要接受的是:生活中总会有挑战,事情不会总朝着你期望的方向发展。
Instead of feeling disappointed when things don’t work out the way you’d hoped, feel grateful for the experience. Instead of dreaming of a brighter, happier, richer tomorrow, make today as wonderful as you can.
事情的发展不如你所愿时不要沮丧,你要对拥有这次体验心存感激。不要幻想着明天会更美好、更幸福、更富有,要尽可能精彩地过好今天。
Happiness is a conscious decision and that I can make it right now. Thinking of the future and having aspirations is essential to leading a happy and fulfilled life. The trick is not to let thoughts of the future overshadow your enjoyment of the present and the appreciation of the things and people you have in your life right now!
幸福是我此刻就能做出的有意识的决定。思考未来、胸怀大志是幸福美满生活的基础,关键在于不要让对未来的思考掩盖当下的快乐和对现在生活中人和事的感激!
There is no way to happiness: happiness is the way!
没有通往幸福的路:幸福本身就是一条路!
Stop waiting for happiness to arrive and simply decide to be happy! It’s not some great goal or destination, it’s a journey and a way of life.
不要再等着幸福登门了,你需要做的仅仅是决定幸福地活着!这不是什么伟大的目的目标,只是生命的旅程和道路。
双语美文欣赏:善有善报,恶有恶报
A woman baked chapatti for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill. Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”
一个女人给家人烤薄饼,还留出一个给饥肠辘辘的路人。她总是把留出的那个放在窗台上,每天都有一个驼背的人来拿走薄饼。他没说过一句“谢谢”,反而总是边走边咕哝着:“善有善报,恶有恶报!”
The woman felt irritated. “Not a word of gratitude,” she said to herself… “Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?” One day, she decided to do away with him. She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him!
女人很生气,她自言自语地说:“这个驼背人从没说过谢谢,却每天都重复这句话,是什么意思呀?”一天,她决定弄死他,就在为他准备的薄饼上下了毒。
As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. “What is this I am doing?” she said. Immediately, she threw the chapatti into the fire, prepared another one. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and muttered the words: “The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”
她正要把饼放在窗台上,手就开始颤抖了,她说:“我在做什么?”她马上把饼扔进了火里,重新做了一张。一切照旧,驼背人来了,拿起薄饼,咕哝着:“善有善报,恶有恶报!”
Every day, as the woman placed the chapatti on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune.
每天女人把饼放窗台上时都为去远方赚钱的儿子祈祷。
That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. He was hungry and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, “Mom, it’s a miracle I’m here. While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. He was kind enough to give me a whole chapatti. He said, “Your need is greater than mine!”
那天晚上,有人敲门,她打开门惊讶地发现儿子站在门口,他很饿很虚弱。一看见妈妈他就说:“妈妈,我能回来真是奇迹。离家还有一英里远的时候,我太饿了走不动了。我差点儿就死了,但就在那时一个老驼背人路过,他很善良给了我一整张饼。他说:‘你比我更需要它’。”
She remembered the poisoned chapatti that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son!
她想起了那天早上做的有毒的饼,要不是她把饼烧了,就会被她儿子吃了!
It was then that she realized the significance of the words: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!” Do good and don’t ever stop doing good, even if it is not appreciated at that time.
那时她才意识到这句话的重要性:“善有善报,恶有恶报!”多行善举,即使当时不被人感激也要坚持下去。
双语美文:妈,我可能不听话,但这并非坏事
Mom, I Got My Attitude From You, And That’s Not A Bad Thing!
妈妈,这倔劲儿随你,而这不是一件坏事!
Dear Mom,
亲爱的妈咪,
The big question appalled and surprised parents often ask their child after a confrontational or revelatory moment is, "Where did you get this attitude from?" I know you hate to admit it, but I get much of my determined and strong-willed nature from you.
经过一阵对抗和宣泄之后,震惊的父母通常会问:“你的这种态度是哪里来的?”我知道你不乐意承认这些,但我这坚持不懈的性格,大多都是从你那里学来的。
Mom, I know it’s hard dealing with the teenage angst and the ever-changing moods that come with raising a child. But you should also marvel at the fact that I’ve made it this far, that I’m healthy and happy.
妈妈,我知道对为青春期的孩子担忧的感受不好受,也知道你的心情因为养育孩子而跌宕起伏。但你也应该惊叹于我已经成长到了这一步,而我现在健康又快乐。
When I was small, I would attend barbecues and family events and wander away from my parents. It wouldn’t be long before someone would stop me to ask whether I was my mother’s daughter.
小时候,我会在烧烤派对和家庭活动中离开父母自己到处跑。不久,总会有人拦住我问我是不是我母亲的女儿。
"Your mom is Melissa," they’d say, a warm smile on their faces. "Is that right?" I would nod, I assume, parents feel when their child talks back or defies them, I was appalled at this statement. To me, I acted nothing like you, Mom.
“你妈妈是梅丽莎,”他们会带着温暖的微笑问,“对吧?”我会点头,我想,当孩子顶撞父母的时候,父母在感情上肯定很受伤吧,我当时被这个想法震惊到了。在我看来,我和你一点都不像啊,妈妈。
No one says, "I know you’re Melissa’s daughter because of your eyes and nose" it’s the character traits that seal the deal. Dry wit, intelligence, and yes, maybe a little bit of attitude—these are the things I am grateful I have received from you. There’s nothing wrong with having attitude.
没有人会说:“我知道你是梅利莎的女儿,是因为你的眼睛和鼻子和你妈妈很像”其实,性格特点的相似才是背后的原因。我很高兴我从你那遗传了我的机智、聪明,可能还有一点倔劲儿。这样的性格没有什么不对的。
。
Like for most black individuals, attitude is what defines you and me, and it’s what keeps us from being mentally oppressed and defeated. Attitude is a non-violent form of protection and confrontation -- where would we be in the world without this tool? Surely not where we are.
像对大多数黑人一样,这倔劲儿是我们的标志,它使我们免于在精神上受到压迫和击败。态度是一种非暴力的自保与对抗,如果没有这个工具,我们的生活将是怎样?肯定没有现在这么好。
Mom, when people ask me where I get my attitude from, I tell them: you. And when they ask me where I got my drive, my work ethic, my good hair, and my sense of humor, I say you as well. I will always say this.
妈妈,当人们问我这倔劲儿是从哪来的,我会告诉他们,是从你那来的。当他们问我在哪里获得动力、职业道德、我的好发质和幽默感,我也会说是你。我会永远这样说。
When I’m asked why I am the way I am -- why I refuse to allow others to hurt me with their words or actions, why I think and speak about things openly and without fear—I’ll tell them it's because of you.
当别人问起我为什么会这样处事——我为什么不许别人用言语或者言行伤害我,为什么我可以毫无恐惧的坦然的说出我所想的事——我会告诉他们,是因为你。
I’ll complain to you about the arguments between us that leave me wondering about how God made us so much alike that we hardly even noticed.
我要跟你谈谈我们的那些冲突,它们让我很好奇上帝是如何使我们如此相像,以至于我们几乎没有注意到。
But I’ll tell them about you.
但我会跟别人说,我的优点都来自你。
Love,
爱你的

双语美文:愿得一人心,白首不分离
One warm evening many years ago…
犹记得多年前,那个让人暖心的夜晚
After spending nearly every waking minute with Angel for eight straight days, I knew that I had to tell her just one thing. So late at night, just before she fell asleep, I whispered it in her ear. She smiled – the kind of smile that makes me smile back – and she said, “When I’m seventy-five and I think about my life and what it was like to be young, I hope that I can remember this very moment.
”整整8天除了睡着其余的时间我都陪着安吉尔,酝酿已久,我想我一定要告诉她一件事。于是这天夜里,就在她刚刚睡下,我便在她耳边轻声说起来,说完她就笑了,是那种希望得到我回应的笑,接着说道:“真希望我老到75岁的时候,开始回忆,这一刻须臾会变成永恒。”
A few seconds later she closed her eyes and fell asleep. The room was peaceful – almost silent. All I could hear was the soft purr of her breathing. I stayed awake thinking about the time we’d spent together and all the choices in our lives that made this moment possible. And at some point, I realized that it didn’t matter what we’d done or where we’d gone. Nor did the future hold any significance.
很快她就闭上眼睛睡着了,整个房间祥和安静,甚至有些寂静。耳畔起伏着安吉尔轻柔的呼吸声,我清醒的回忆我们共度的这些美好时光,是冥冥之中的选择成就了我们在一起的时刻。我们做过什么,去过哪里都不重要,甚至未来也不重要。
All that mattered was the serenity of the moment.
眼下最重要的就是此刻的和谐安宁。
Just being with her and breathing with her.
只要能与她同呼吸共命运,便别无所求。
The moral: We must not allow the clock, the calendar, and external pressures to rule our lives and blind us to the fact that each individual moment of our lives is a beautiful mystery and a miracle – especially those moments we spend in the presence of a loved one.
启示:时间、日常事务、以及其他的外部压力都不能左右和束缚我们的生活,因为每个人,尤其是与心爱之人一起度过的美好时光,才是我们生命中最让人心驰神往,美妙动人的追寻。
双语美文:在逆境中学到了人生最重要的一课
Everybody has to face bad days in their life. Some face ailments, some face fears, some face poverty, some face helplessness etc etc. No one can escape from it. It is a rule of life. Two things always combines together like joy and sadness, laugh and cry, health and illness, profit and loss, morning and night, confidence and inferiority complex, victory and failure likewise good days and bad days.
每个人都会有不如意的时候,有人身体欠佳,有人面临恐惧,有人贫困不堪,有人迷惘无助,等等,没有人能够一帆风顺,直至终老。如影随形,此消彼长的事物,比如,高兴与悲伤,欢笑与哭泣,健康与疾病,获得与失去,早晨和晚上,自信与自卑,成功与失败,顺境和逆境也是如此。
You know what is the biggest advantage of bad days? You come to know GOD. What is God? What he can do? He is so friendly, understanding, loving and moreover God is the Superman he can do anything in a second. Yes true he can do anything. He is the only light in darkness. God is so merciful he always forgives and never complaint whether you ignore him many times that is why according to me God is the only best and faithful friend who never cheats.
你知道不顺的日子带给你最大的感悟是什么?就是你开始信奉神明。上帝是谁?他能够帮我做些什么?他是那么的亲切和蔼,善解人意,胸怀广博,不仅如此他就像超人瞬间排除一切障碍。是的上帝无所不能,他是黑暗中的一丝曙光。之所以上帝是人类完美的朋友,是因为他是如此坦诚布公,慈悲为怀,予取予求,不图回报,原谅世人的无数次薄情。
When bad days come a person first of all cannot understand what is going on, why me? But after sometimes he realises his strength and start doing every single thing to come out of it. And he comes out but that journey is though very painful but when you once crossed it you will find your journey very meaningful, you will feel like as your rebirth. You have totally changed your thoughts, your perception, and you can understand life better. You get the meaning of your life. In short you start becoming wise.
当不幸降临,一开始我们总会怨天尤人。但是为了摆脱困境,我们竭尽所能。当一切过去,回头来看,这段经历对你来说非比寻常,如同凤凰涅槃。而且你的思想观念都会发生翻天覆地的变化,对人生也会有更加深刻的领悟,简而言之,你会变得更加睿智。
The biggest lesson of life during bad days according to me is that a person becomes spritual and a giver which he wasn't before. Life means to creat it. First think what you want in your life then start giving the same think. This is one of the most important thing I have learnt in my life. You want love then start spreading it, you want money then start giving to needy, you want happiness then start doing all things which give happiness. Everything is in your hand you only need to give first. If don't have everything then give or share what you have. Still you feel you have nothing to share then give smile. You can't imagine that your smile can do wonder for someone. So start smiling from today onwards.
逆境给我最深的领悟是,变得更加注重精神层面,懂得给予。生命的真谛在于,遵循你的内心先去履行赋予它的意义,这是我的感悟。比如,你想要得到爱你先要懂得如何传播爱,你想要钱,你先要懂得施舍,你想要快乐,那就先做让别人快乐的事情。你想要得到就必须先付出。如果你一无所有,那么你至少可以面对他人,面带微笑。微笑的魔力超乎想象,那让我们从今天开始就坚持面带微笑吧。
The most beautiful lesson I have learnt in my life is that If you are in pain then remember one thing: time is though hard but it would be the best time of your life. You know why we have to face hard days? Did you think about it? No!!!! Ok I will tell you. We always forget two unforgettable things. First is God and second is family. Nowadays money is everything. Money is important, in fact very important but it is not a life so why to spend whole life in earning money. When will we live? What you can do now you can't do it tomorrow so don't let the day pass without enjoying.
逆境中让我感到的最美好的是,体会到上帝和家庭的重要性,这两样东西是我们平常最容易忽略的。每日碌碌只为功名利禄,钱财物质固然重要,但不是生活的唯一,活在当下,感受生活的美好安逸,不要让这些轻易的溜走。
One thing I must share with you is that if you want to grow and learn more than you know, then do whatever you want to do but beyond your comfort zone. Always try to think that I can, then nothing is impossible for you. Difficulty is in the mind not in know one thing when we accept life as it comes or we accept that everything happens for a reason or for our betterment. Believe me you will find your hard days as an adventure but you need to trust God and at the end you will find yourself a winner.
如果你们想要很好的学习成长,那么我倒有条建议,就是在你们的舒适区之外尝试任何你们想做的事情。困难只是心魔,克服它便没有什么可以阻挡你。坦然面对并接受人生的起落,不管是什么原因,亦或是让我们成为很好的自己。我保证当你回忆起这段不顺,你会发现就像经历了一场冒险,但你依然要相信上苍,最后你会发现,你自己也能成为救世主。
I hope you like it. Love you all and God bless you all with healthy wealthy long life and good destiny.
希望你们喜欢这篇鸡汤文。爱你们,上帝保佑你们都长命百岁,平顺喜乐。
美文欣赏:没有颜值又如何?同样能有精彩的活法
When I was seven years old, I would put my school book bag on both my shoulders and had it sit plumb in the middle of my back, as backpacks were made to do.
在我七岁那年,我会用双肩背书包,让它处在我背部的正中央,感觉双肩包就应该这么背。
One morning, when it was so frigid outside you could barely muster getting out of bed, my older brother joined me at the bus stop, and told me I was wearing my backpack wrong. He grabbed it, tossed it over my right shoulder with both straps on the same side and said, “There, that’s better.”
某天早晨,外面寒风萧瑟,冷到你根本不想起床,我的哥哥跟我一同在车站等车,他告诉我我的双肩包背错了。他一把抓过来,将书包和两侧的背带甩至我的右肩,然后说“看,这就好多了。”
Then he said, “You’re not pretty, so you have to try harder. OK?”
然后他说,“你不漂亮,所以你要更加努力,明白吗?”
I stayed smiling because even at a young age, I understood the importance of pretending to not have emotions. In my household, it was a matter of survival. But what he said crushed me.
我的笑容凝固了,因为即便在青少年时期,我也知道假装不露声色的重要性。在我家里,这是一种生存技能。但是他说的让我感到崩塌。
Soon thereafter, I started picking up on the signs one receives when they aren’t attractive. This was made more complicated because I had a lot of friends and people who, for the most part, liked me. I was good at sports. I had various musical talents and up until life completely fell apart at home, I was a good student. I was also a fighter so people didn’t dare make fun of me overtly, at least before growth spurts kicked in and the playing field was still even.
此后,我开始关注人们对于低颜值人的反应。这可是比较浩大的工程,因为我有许多朋友和家人,他们大部分时候还是挺喜欢我的。我擅长体育,具有各式的音乐天赋,而且直到我的家庭生活彻底支离破碎前,我也是个好学生。我同时也很好强,所以人们不太敢公然地开我玩笑。至少,在发育高峰之前,生活还是比较公平的。
Mostly, I paid for not being conventionally attractive by being ignored or not included in “moments” – the many moments attractive people experience.
很多时候,我因为没有高颜值而被人忽略或无法经历“某些时刻”——那些具有高颜值的人所经历的时刻。
Many times, I walked into a room with all of my friends and witnessed them receiving compliments – everyone except me. It’s not that people look at you say, “My god, you’re incredibly ugly. Tell me, how do you not kill yourself?” It’s how you can stand next to an attractive person and the people around you, even the unattractive ones themselves, will say, “Wow, your friend is pretty. Look at her, have you ever seen a girl so pretty?”
不知多少次我和我朋友一起走进教室然后看着她们接受别人的赞美,除了我之外每个人都有。也并非人们看着你说“天哪,你真是丑啊,你为什么还活着呢?”,而是你站在美女或帅哥旁边,人们围着你,甚至毫不起眼的人他们都会说“噢,你的朋友真漂亮。看看她,还有谁能美过她呢?”
It took me being observant and honest to see I didn’t belong. It took studying the aesthetics in photos taken by my friends and knowing something wasn’t quite right. It’s a lack of pride you know would be there if you were just prettier, or sexier. It’s that you simply know that no matter what you do, sans literal plastic surgery, you will never belong to a certain club.
我善于察言观色,而且很诚实,所以我知道我注定不合主流。我仔细研究我朋友照片中的美学,然后发现某些东西并非是真理。如果你仅仅是姿色更上一层或性感尤物,你却缺乏油然而生的自豪感。你明白无论你怎改变,除非整形,你永远不会属于高颜值的团体。
But here is where I throw you a curve ball: my being unattractive hasn’t stopped me from living the other side’s life. Most people never figure out how to navigate this world I live in. I will just tell you I rejected the rules of the beautiful, and learned how to make them work for me.
但是现在我给你一剂药方:我的不出众的相貌并不能阻止我拥有自己的生活。许多人在处于和我一样的境地时都不知道如何掌控他们自己的方向。我想告诉你的是:我打破了颜值定律并让他们变得有利于自己。
I decided I would shoot out of my league. I made friends and dated people I shouldn’t be allowed to date. I stepped over the line. I surrounded myself with individuals who are more educated, prettier or smarter than me, even in the face of people saying, quite literally, “they are out of your league.”
我决定扩展我的圈子,我和以前觉得不能交朋友的人交朋友,和以前觉得不能约的人约会。我越过了那条线,周围全是比我更有学识、更漂亮的人,甚至人们告诉我,非常实事求是的说“他们可不是你圈子里的人啊”。
I may not technically be the smartest or most beautiful person, but I run with those who are. I become by association, even a touch of such, even at a lower rank – beautiful. I buck the system.
我也许不会是最聪明最漂亮的人,但是我和这些人一同奋斗,哪怕仅有一点点提升,哪怕仍然没那么漂亮,我踢爆了这个固有的规则。
To do so, yes, means you may be painfully aware of what you are and will never be. You will be defined by what you have the nerve to aim at being. In doing so, you will challenge and question what smart is. You will not be generic, or predictable. Attractive is only what we define it to be. Don’t pigeonhole yourself so quickly. Live the life you want to live – even if you didn’t win the genetic lottery.
是的,这样做你也许会痛苦的发现自己的真想并再也不可能成为“漂亮”的人。你前进的目标将定义你自己。如此一来,你会挑战和质疑“聪慧”。你将成为个例或非等闲之辈。美丽仅仅是我们给的定义。别那么快的给自己归类,即使你没有天赋,也要活出自己的精彩。

信心成就一切
Nothing succeeds lacks confidence. When you are truly and justifiably confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. It's important to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them. Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from acting with integrity and confidence. It comes from a strong sense of purpose. It comes from a strong commitment to take responsibility, rather than just letting life happen. One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get a record of successful experiences behind you. Confidence is compassionate and understanding. It is not arrogant. Arrogance is born out of fear and insecurity, while confidence comes from strength and integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do that you are capable of accomplishing anything you want,and live your life with confidence. Anything can be achieved through focused, determined effort and self-confidence. If your life is not what you want it to be,you have the power to change it,and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live your priorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment with your priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose, and you will have the life you want.
信心成就一切,当你真正自信时,它就像灿烂的阳光一样从你身上散发出来,就像磁铁一样将成功吸引到你身上。 相信自己非常重要。要相信自己无论在任何情况下都会成功。因为如果你相信你能做到,那么你就真的会做到。这种信念促使你不断的去寻找答案,而不断的探索就意味着你很快就会找到答案。 信心不只是一种态度,它来源于你确切地知道自己要去干什么并且确切地知道怎么去干。它来源于正直和自信地去行动。它来源于强烈的目标感。它来源于强烈地勇于承担责任的许诺,而不是让生命放任自流。 培养自信的一种 方法 是去做你害怕做的事情,并将它做成功。 信心是富有同情心和善解人意的。它一点都不傲慢自大。傲慢是由于害怕和缺乏安全感才产生的,而信心则出于坚强的决心和诚实正直。 信心并不是仅仅认为你可能会成功,而是确信你一定能成功。确信你有能力实现自己的愿望,并充满信心的生活着。 如果你足够专心、坚决和自信,那么任何事都能做成。如果生活不像你预想的那样,你有力量去改变它,并且你必须一步一步的去实现这些改变。铭记你生命中最重要的事情。有目标并且有计划的去生活。为你的目标而奋斗,你就会拥有自己想要的生活。

The Old Farmer
An old farmer had spend all his life on his farm in the countryside, far from the city. One day, he dicided to visit the big city. Everything was new and strange to him, because this was the first time he had traveled to the city. He went into a large hotel and saw an elevator. As he watched, an old lady got into the elevator and closed the door. After a while, the door opened again and a very pretty young girl came out. The old farmer was amazed. “What an incredible little room! ” he said to himself. “It’s magic! It can change an old woman into a young girl. The next time I come here, I’m going to bring my wife along. ”

Reading Makes a Full Man
We see that the real factor by which a “full man” is made is neither education nor experience; it is reading. By reading scientific treatises, we are informed of many facts; by reading geography, we know the earth’s surface, forms, physical features etc.; by reading history, we are told of the growth of nations.
With eyes we can see; with ears we can hear. But at a distance, small objects can hardly be distinguished by naked eyes, and ordinary sounds are not audible to our ears without a transmiter. It is by reading that we can know many things without actually seeing or hearing them. Besides, a fair knowledge of what the world is thinking and doing can only be acquired by reading newspapers and magazines.
Therefore, no matter how advanced our education may be, or how much experience we may have, we cannot become “full man” unless we keep on reading.
我们知道造就一个“完人”的真正因素既不是 教育 也不是 经验 ,而是读书。通过阅读科学论文,我们能知道许多事实;通过阅读地理,我们知道地球的表面、形状和物理特征等。通过阅读历史,我们了解到了国家的发展历程。
我们能用眼睛看,用耳朵听。但在一定距离,靠肉眼就难于辨认小的事物,没有传话筒我们就听不见一般的声音。只有通过读书,我们才能知道许多不是我们耳闻目睹的事。而且,关于世界上正在思考和正在做的事情的很多知识,我们只能通过阅读报纸和杂志来获得。
所以,不管我们所受的教育程度多高,也不管我们有多少经验,我们都不可能因此而成为“完人”。除非我们不断地读书。

Happiness Is Your Own Choice
Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier — a relative, someone we know a lot, or someone we hardly know. As a result, what we do remember is anything that makes the others happy, anything that makes ourselves unhappy, totally forgetting that there is something happy in our own life.
So the best way to destory happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest flaw. It is the smallest flaw that would make us complain. And it is the complain that leads to us becoming unhappy.
If one chooses to be happy, he will be blessed; if he chooses to be unhappy, he will be cursed. Happiness is just what you think will make you happy.
我们大多数人都喜欢跟我们的亲戚、熟识的朋友或不怎么了解的人进行比较,总认为他们比我们快乐。结果呢,我们确确实实记住了令他人快乐的事,扎扎实实记住了使自己不快乐的事,完完全全忘记了我们自己生活中也有快乐的一面。
所以,毁灭快乐的最好方法是眼睛盯着某物并把注意力集中到最微不足道的缺点上。引起我们抱怨的,就是这些微不足道的缺点;而导致我们不快乐的,正是这些抱怨。
如果你选择快乐,你将得到祝福;如果你选择痛苦,你就会受到诅咒。那么,如果你选择快乐,你就快乐。

A Winter Walk冬日漫步
-by Henry David Thoreau亨利·大卫·梭罗
本文节选自梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》,译者为夏济安。一直以来,我都认为冬天是沉闷而萧索的,人也会因为冬天的毫无生机而慵懒。但是梭罗笔下瓦尔登湖边的冬天却是另一番景致。字里行间,感受到的是一个充满活力的冬天。
The wind has gently murmured through the binds,or puffed with feathery softness against the windows, and occasionally sighed like a summer zephyr lifting the leaves along, the livelong night. The meadow mouse has slept in his snug gallery in the sod, the owl has sat in a hollow tree in the depth of the swamp, the rabbit, the squirrel, and the fox have all been housed. The watch-dog has lain quiet on the hearth, and the cattle have stood silent in their earth itself has slept, as it were its first, not its last sleep,save when some street-sign or wood-house door has faintly creaked upon its hinge, cheering forlorn nature at her midnight work, - the only sound awake twixt Venus and Mars, - advertising us of a remote inward warmth, a divine cheer and fellowship, where gods are met together, but where it is very bleak for men to stand. But while the earth has slumbered, all the air has been alive with feathery flakes descending, as if some northern Ceres reigned, showering her silvery grain over all the fields.
风轻轻地低声吹着,吹过百叶窗,吹在窗上,轻软得好像羽毛一般;有时候数声叹息,几乎叫人想起夏季长夜漫漫和风吹动树叶的声音。田鼠已经舒舒服服地在地底下的楼房中睡着了,猫头鹰安坐在沼地深处一棵空心树里面,兔子、松鼠、狐狸都躲在家里安居不动。看家的狗在火炉旁边安静地躺着,牛羊在栏圈里一声不响地站着。大地也睡着了——这不是长眠,这似乎是它辛勤一年以来的第一次安然入睡。时虽半夜,大自然还是不断地忙着,只有街上商店招牌或是木屋的门轴上,偶然轻轻地发出叽格的声音,给寂寥的大自然添一些慰藉。茫茫宇宙,在金星和火星之间,只有这些声音表示天地万物还没有全体入睡——我们想起了远处(就在心里头吧?)还有温暖,还有神圣的欢欣和友朋相聚之乐;可是这种境界是天神们互相往来时才能领略,凡人是不胜其荒凉的。天地现在是睡着了,可是空气中还是充满了生机,鹅毛片片,不断落下,好像有一个北方的五谷女神,正在我们的田亩上撒下无数银色的谷种。
We sleep, and at length awake to the still reality of a winter morning. The snow lies warm as cotton or down upon the window-sill; the broadened sash and frosted panes admit a dim and private light, which enhances the snug cheer within. The stillness of the morning is impressive. The floor creaks under our feet as we move toward the window to look abroad through some clear space over the see the roofs stand under their snow burden. From the eaves and fences hang stalactites of snow, and in the yard stand stalagmites covering some concealed core. The trees and shrubs rear white arms to the sky on every side;and where were walls and fences, we see fantastic forms stretching in frolic gambols. across the dusky landscape, as if Nature had strewn her fresh designs over the fields by night
as models for man's art.
我们也睡着了,一觉醒来,正是冬天的早晨。万籁无声,雪厚厚的堆着,窗槛上像是铺了温暖的棉花;窗格子显得加宽了,玻璃上结了冰纹,光线暗淡而静,更加强了屋内的舒适愉快的感觉。早晨的安静,似乎静在骨子里,我们走到窗口,挑了一处没有冰霜封住的地方,眺望田野的景色;可是我们单是走这几步路,脚下的地板已经在吱吱地响。窗外一幢幢的房子都是白雪盖顶;屋檐下、篱笆上都累累地挂满了雪条;院子里像石笋似站了很多雪柱,雪里藏的是什么东西,我们却看不出来。大树小树四面八方地伸出白色的手臂,指向天空;本来是墙壁篱笆的地方,形状更是奇怪,在昏暗的大地上面,它们向左右延伸,如跳如跃,似乎大自然一夜之间,把田野风景重新设计过,好让人间的画师来临摹。

Life is like a Journey人生如旅程
人生就是一段旅程,人在地上也不过是寄居的,这世上所有的一切都会过去,然而就是在这个旅程中,人们可以去学习很多很多的东西,去寻找那具有永恒价值的意义之所在。
Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
人生好似一个包裹。在这个包裹里藏着快乐与悲伤、成功与失败,希望与绝望。人生也是一个学习的过程。生活中的经历教给了我们全新的课程,使我们成为更好的人。伴随着每一天的过去,我们学会了处理各种各样的问题。
Love爱
Love plays a pivotal role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go haywire and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who showed us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
爱在我们的生活中扮演了一个关键的角色。爱使你感觉到被需要。没有爱,一个人将走向不归路,变得凶暴、残忍。在我们最初的人生道路上,我们的父母给予了我们无条件的关爱,他们教会了我们判断正确与错误、好与坏。然而我们常常把这以为是理所当然的,只有等到我们结了婚并且有了孩子之后,一个人才会懂得并注意别人的感受。孩子让我们变得富有责任心、变得成熟稳重,并且更好地理解人生。
Happiness and Sorrow快乐与悲伤
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
物质上的快乐往往是短暂的,然而,当你给予他人一个微笑的时候,所带来的满足却是无与伦比的。心灵的平静往往是快乐的源泉。没有平和的心态就没有快乐的心情。在伤心的时候,我们往往才能够体会到快乐的真谛。悲伤基本上都来自于所爱之人的去世、失败还有绝望,但是这样的事情都是暂时的,总会过去的。
Failure and Success失败与成功
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
失败是成功之母。它让我们触及蓝天,教会我们如何生存,给予我们一条特殊的路。成功给我们带来了金钱、名誉、骄傲和自尊。这里,保持头脑清醒便显得尤为重要。感谢上帝所赐下的成功的唯一方式便是始终谦卑、柔和、礼貌并且尊重没有我们幸运的人们。
Hope and Despair希望与绝望
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same, we have only one choice -keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
希望是人生动力之源。父母总是希望自己的孩子能够做得很好。希望我们有梦想。希望我们变得有耐心。人生教会我们即使是在最困难的时候都不要绝望,因为黑暗之后终将是黎明。没有什么事情是一成不变的,我们只有一个选择一就是充满希望地继续生活。
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
人生教会我们不要对过去的事情感到后悔,因为过去的终究是过去了并且我们已无法更改。明天是个未知数,因为它可以是光明的同样也可以是无趣的。所以,唯一的选择便是在今天努力工作,这样我们才能去享受更美好的明天。

Breaking Habit打破习惯
-By Walter Pater沃尔特.佩特
习惯是一种顽强的巨大的力量,它可以主宰人生。可见,习惯对于每个人的一生都有着巨大的意义和影响。
To burn always with this hard, gem-like flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life. In a sense it might even be said that our failure is to form habits: for, after all, habit is relative to a stereotyped world, and meantime it is only the roughness of the dye that makes any two persons, things, situations, seem alike, While all melts under our feet, we may well grasp at any exquisite passion, or any contribution to knowledge that seems by a lifted horizon to set the spirit free for a moment, or any stirring of the senses, strange dyes, strange colors, and curious odors, or work of the artist's hands, or the face of one's friend.
闪耀着宝石般的光焰炽烈地燃烧,并且不断保持着这种亢奋的精神状态,乃是生命的胜利。在某种意义上,甚至可以说:一旦形成某种习惯,即意味着自己的失败。因为,归根结底,习惯总附于一个定了型的事态,而在粗疏的眼光下,两个人、两件事、两种情境常常会被看得彼此相似。只有当一切在我们脚下熔化,我们才能看清种种强烈的激情,种种似乎能提高人的眼界、使人精神豁然开朗的知识进步,种种感官的刺激,例如奇色异彩,奇香异味,以及艺术家的匠艺,或者自己某位朋友的面容。
Not to discriminate every moment some passionate attitude in those about us, and in the very brilliancy of their gifts some tragic dividing of forces on their ways, is, on this short day of frost and sun, to sleep before evening. With this sense of the splendor of our experience and of its awful brevity, gathering all we are into one desperate effort to see and touch. we shall hardly have time to make theories about the things we see and touch.
我们与周围的人们相处,在任何时刻,如果一点看不出某种受激情支配的姿态,从人们的光辉才华中竟然看不出某种力量分配方面的悲剧,那么,在我们这既有冰霜、又有阳光的短暂时日中,就意味着不待黄昏来临便昏昏睡去。感到了人生 经验 的五色缤纷及倏忽无常,我们拼出全部力气进行观察和接触,哪里还有时间去为自己观察和接触到的事物制订出一套一套的理论?
What we have to do is to be for ever curiously testing new opinions and courting new impressions, never in a facile acquiesce of orthodoxy Comet, or of Hegel, or of our own . Philosophical theories or ideas, as points of view, instruments of criticism, may help us to gather up what might otherwise pass unrecorded by us. "Philosophy is the microscope of thought".
我们必须做的,是要不断地检验新的意见、博取新的印象,而无论如何不能轻易接受不管是康德、黑格尔或是我们自己的什么泛泛的正统学说。哲学理论、哲学概念,作为立论观点、批评工具,可以帮助我们把那些可能习焉不察、轻轻放过的事物进行搜集、纳入限底。因为,“哲学是思想的显微镜”。

It must be fate to get acquainted in a huge crowd of people...I feel, the love that Osho talks about, maybe is a kind of pure love beyond the mundane world, which is full of divinity and caritas, and overflows with Buddhist allegorical words and gestures, but, it seems that I cannot see through its true meaning forever... 也许,我并不只是"接受";而是,因为那种爱,让我,情不自禁、无法抗拒、不能拒绝……知道吗,是你,点燃了我的生命!而我,固执的相信,这种情感,在我的生命中,只有一次。因为爱,我们,不再孤单;因为思念,品尝,更多的寂寞。 Maybe, I do not just "absorb" your love; but because the love overpowers me and I am unable to dispute and refuse it...Do you know?

The researchers then compared the photos with the life span of each player. 专家们按队员们的笑容进行等级分类,分别是“一点都不笑”,“笑了一点儿”,“微笑时嘴部肌肉有抽动”或是“笑的合不拢嘴”,以及“扬起脸,眼睛都笑出了皱纹”等这几个分类。然后他们把这些照片与队员们的寿命进行了比较。 The results revealed that of the 184 players that had since died, those in the ’no smile’ category had lived an average of years. 结果显示,在184名现已去世的队员中,那些属于在照片中“从不微笑”的人,他们的平均寿命是岁。 The findings support another study which showed that being happy can reduce the risk of heart disease. 这些证据同时也支撑了另一项研究,那就是保持快乐的心态会降低得心脏病的风险。 优美英文散文带翻译:年轻人,应该如何更好的生活?

Learn to delay gratification. 学会推迟享受。 Ability to delay gratification predicts future success. 推迟享受的能力预示着未来的成功。 Those who succumb to pressures and do what’s immediately satisfying miss out on later satisfaction. 那些向压力投降而享受片刻的欢愉的人,错过了享受以后的满足的机会。 Kids in high school who partied every night are bagging groceries at Safeway now, while those who delayed that "fun" for just a few more years get to work at their dream job for the rest of their lives. 那些在高中夜夜聚会的孩子们现在在西夫韦超市整理杂货,而那些推迟了不过几年“享受”的孩子可以在余下的人生里从事着他们梦想的工作。

美文欣赏:没有通往幸福的路,幸福本身就是一条路
Too many people think of happiness as the ultimate goal of life. But, if you’re waiting for happiness to arrive then it’s likely that it never will!
有太多人把幸福当作人生的终极目标,但如果你只是等待幸福来敲门,幸福可能永远都不会到来!
You’re always wanting something more, always looking forward to a time when you’ll be “happy”. And, if you fall into this trap, you’ll never reach that goal. Happiness should not be your life’s goal, it should be your life! The only time to be happy is right now! It’s state of mind, not a set of accomplishments or the accumulation of material things. You must accept that life will always have challenges and things will not always go your way.
你总是期待得到更多,总是期待着你变“幸福”的那一刻。然而,如果你陷入这种思维陷阱,那你永远也达不到这个目的。幸福不该是生活的目标,它应该是生活本身!幸福唯一该存在的时刻,就是每时每刻的现在!它是一种心态,而不是一连串的成就,或者物质财富的积累。你必须要接受的是:生活中总会有挑战,事情不会总朝着你期望的方向发展。
Instead of feeling disappointed when things don’t work out the way you’d hoped, feel grateful for the experience. Instead of dreaming of a brighter, happier, richer tomorrow, make today as wonderful as you can.
事情的发展不如你所愿时不要沮丧,你要对拥有这次体验心存感激。不要幻想着明天会更美好、更幸福、更富有,要尽可能精彩地过好今天。
Happiness is a conscious decision and that I can make it right now. Thinking of the future and having aspirations is essential to leading a happy and fulfilled life. The trick is not to let thoughts of the future overshadow your enjoyment of the present and the appreciation of the things and people you have in your life right now!
幸福是我此刻就能做出的有意识的决定。思考未来、胸怀大志是幸福美满生活的基础,关键在于不要让对未来的思考掩盖当下的快乐和对现在生活中人和事的感激!
There is no way to happiness: happiness is the way!
没有通往幸福的路:幸福本身就是一条路!
Stop waiting for happiness to arrive and simply decide to be happy! It’s not some great goal or destination, it’s a journey and a way of life.
不要再等着幸福登门了,你需要做的仅仅是决定幸福地活着!这不是什么伟大的目的目标,只是生命的旅程和道路。
双语美文欣赏:善有善报,恶有恶报
A woman baked chapatti for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill. Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”
一个女人给家人烤薄饼,还留出一个给饥肠辘辘的路人。她总是把留出的那个放在窗台上,每天都有一个驼背的人来拿走薄饼。他没说过一句“谢谢”,反而总是边走边咕哝着:“善有善报,恶有恶报!”
The woman felt irritated. “Not a word of gratitude,” she said to herself… “Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?” One day, she decided to do away with him. She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him!
女人很生气,她自言自语地说:“这个驼背人从没说过谢谢,却每天都重复这句话,是什么意思呀?”一天,她决定弄死他,就在为他准备的薄饼上下了毒。
As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. “What is this I am doing?” she said. Immediately, she threw the chapatti into the fire, prepared another one. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and muttered the words: “The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”
她正要把饼放在窗台上,手就开始颤抖了,她说:“我在做什么?”她马上把饼扔进了火里,重新做了一张。一切照旧,驼背人来了,拿起薄饼,咕哝着:“善有善报,恶有恶报!”
Every day, as the woman placed the chapatti on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune.
每天女人把饼放窗台上时都为去远方赚钱的儿子祈祷。
That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. He was hungry and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, “Mom, it’s a miracle I’m here. While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. He was kind enough to give me a whole chapatti. He said, “Your need is greater than mine!”
那天晚上,有人敲门,她打开门惊讶地发现儿子站在门口,他很饿很虚弱。一看见妈妈他就说:“妈妈,我能回来真是奇迹。离家还有一英里远的时候,我太饿了走不动了。我差点儿就死了,但就在那时一个老驼背人路过,他很善良给了我一整张饼。他说:‘你比我更需要它’。”
She remembered the poisoned chapatti that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son!
她想起了那天早上做的有毒的饼,要不是她把饼烧了,就会被她儿子吃了!
It was then that she realized the significance of the words: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!” Do good and don’t ever stop doing good, even if it is not appreciated at that time.
那时她才意识到这句话的重要性:“善有善报,恶有恶报!”多行善举,即使当时不被人感激也要坚持下去。
双语美文:妈,我可能不听话,但这并非坏事
Mom, I Got My Attitude From You, And That’s Not A Bad Thing!
妈妈,这倔劲儿随你,而这不是一件坏事!
Dear Mom,
亲爱的妈咪,
The big question appalled and surprised parents often ask their child after a confrontational or revelatory moment is, "Where did you get this attitude from?" I know you hate to admit it, but I get much of my determined and strong-willed nature from you.
经过一阵对抗和宣泄之后,震惊的父母通常会问:“你的这种态度是哪里来的?”我知道你不乐意承认这些,但我这坚持不懈的性格,大多都是从你那里学来的。
Mom, I know it’s hard dealing with the teenage angst and the ever-changing moods that come with raising a child. But you should also marvel at the fact that I’ve made it this far, that I’m healthy and happy.
妈妈,我知道对为青春期的孩子担忧的感受不好受,也知道你的心情因为养育孩子而跌宕起伏。但你也应该惊叹于我已经成长到了这一步,而我现在健康又快乐。
When I was small, I would attend barbecues and family events and wander away from my parents. It wouldn’t be long before someone would stop me to ask whether I was my mother’s daughter.
小时候,我会在烧烤派对和家庭活动中离开父母自己到处跑。不久,总会有人拦住我问我是不是我母亲的女儿。
"Your mom is Melissa," they’d say, a warm smile on their faces. "Is that right?" I would nod, I assume, parents feel when their child talks back or defies them, I was appalled at this statement. To me, I acted nothing like you, Mom.
“你妈妈是梅丽莎,”他们会带着温暖的微笑问,“对吧?”我会点头,我想,当孩子顶撞父母的时候,父母在感情上肯定很受伤吧,我当时被这个想法震惊到了。在我看来,我和你一点都不像啊,妈妈。
No one says, "I know you’re Melissa’s daughter because of your eyes and nose" it’s the character traits that seal the deal. Dry wit, intelligence, and yes, maybe a little bit of attitude—these are the things I am grateful I have received from you. There’s nothing wrong with having attitude.
没有人会说:“我知道你是梅利莎的女儿,是因为你的眼睛和鼻子和你妈妈很像”其实,性格特点的相似才是背后的原因。我很高兴我从你那遗传了我的机智、聪明,可能还有一点倔劲儿。这样的性格没有什么不对的。
。
Like for most black individuals, attitude is what defines you and me, and it’s what keeps us from being mentally oppressed and defeated. Attitude is a non-violent form of protection and confrontation -- where would we be in the world without this tool? Surely not where we are.
像对大多数黑人一样,这倔劲儿是我们的标志,它使我们免于在精神上受到压迫和击败。态度是一种非暴力的自保与对抗,如果没有这个工具,我们的生活将是怎样?肯定没有现在这么好。
Mom, when people ask me where I get my attitude from, I tell them: you. And when they ask me where I got my drive, my work ethic, my good hair, and my sense of humor, I say you as well. I will always say this.
妈妈,当人们问我这倔劲儿是从哪来的,我会告诉他们,是从你那来的。当他们问我在哪里获得动力、职业道德、我的好发质和幽默感,我也会说是你。我会永远这样说。
When I’m asked why I am the way I am -- why I refuse to allow others to hurt me with their words or actions, why I think and speak about things openly and without fear—I’ll tell them it's because of you.
当别人问起我为什么会这样处事——我为什么不许别人用言语或者言行伤害我,为什么我可以毫无恐惧的坦然的说出我所想的事——我会告诉他们,是因为你。
I’ll complain to you about the arguments between us that leave me wondering about how God made us so much alike that we hardly even noticed.
我要跟你谈谈我们的那些冲突,它们让我很好奇上帝是如何使我们如此相像,以至于我们几乎没有注意到。
But I’ll tell them about you.
但我会跟别人说,我的优点都来自你。
Love,
爱你的

在世界经济全球化及中国加入WTO的形势下,社会需要大量能够用英语在国际上进行科技、经贸、法律和 文化 等方面交流的专业人才。下面是我带来的英语 文章 阅读带翻译,欢迎阅读!英语文章阅读带翻译篇一 In the public interest The Scandinavian countries are much admired all over the world for their enlightened social policies. Sweden has evolved an excellent system for protecting the individual citizen from high-handed or incompetent public officers. The system has worked so well, that it has been adopted in other countries like Denmark, Norway, Finland, and New Zealand. Even countries with large populations like Britain and the United States are seriously considering imitating the Swedes. The Swedes were the first to recognize that public officials like civil servants, collectors can make mistakes or act over-zealously in the belief that they are serving the public. As long ago as 1809, the Swedish Parliament introduced a scheme to safeguard the interest of the individual. A parliamentary committee representing all political parties appoints a person who is suitably qualified to investigate private grievances against the State. The official title of the person is 'Justiteombudsman', but the Swedes commonly refer to him as the '.' or 'Ombudsman'. The Ombudsman is not subject to political pressure. He investigates complaints large and small that come to him from all levels of society. As complaints must be made in writing, the Ombudsman receives an average of 1200 letters a year. He has eight lawyer assistants to help him and he examines every single letter in detail. There is nothing secretive about the Ombudsman's work, for his correspondence is open to public inspection. If a citizen's complaint is justified, the Ombudsman will act on his behalf. The action he takes varies according to the nature of the complaint. He may gently reprimand an official or even suggest to parliament that a law be altered. The following case is a typical example of the Ombudsman's work. A foreigner living in a Swedish village wrote to the Ombudsman complaining that he had been ill-treated by the police, simply because he was a foreigner. The Ombudsman immediately wrote to the Chief of Police in the district asking him to send a record of the case. There was nothing in the record to show that the foreigner's complaint was justified and the Chief of Police stoutly denied the accusation. It was impossible for the Ombudsman to take action, but when he received a similar complaint from another foreigner in the same village, he immediately sent one of his lawyers to investigate the matter. The lawyer ascertained that a policeman had indeed dealt roughly with foreigners on several occasions. The fact that the policeman was prejudiced against foreigners could not be recorded in he official files. It was only possible for the Ombudsman to find this out by sending one of his representatives to check the facts. The policeman in question was severely reprimanded and was informed that if any further complaints were lodged against him, he would be prosecuted. The Ombudsman's prompt action at once put an end to an unpleasant practice which might have gone unnoticed. 斯堪的纳维亚半岛各国实行开明的社会政策,受到全世界的推崇。在瑞典,已逐渐形成了一种完善的制度以保护每个公民不受专横的和不称职的政府官员的欺压。由于这种制度行之有效,已被其他国家采纳。 是瑞典人首先认识到政府工作人员如文职人员、警官、卫生稽查员、税务人员等等也会犯错误或者自以为在为公众服务而把事情做过了头。早在1809年,瑞典论会就建立一个保护公民利益的制度。议会内有一个代表各政党利益的委员会,由它委派一位称职的人选专门调查个人对国家的意见。此人官衔为“司法特派员”,但瑞典人一般管他叫“.”,即“司法特派员”。司法特派员不受任何政治压力的制约。他听取社会各阶层的各种大小意见,并进行调查。由于意见均需用书面形式提出,司法特派员每年平均收到1,200封信。他有8位律师作他的助手协助工作,每封信都详细批阅。司法特派员的工作没有什么秘密可言,他的信件是公开的,供公众监督。如果公民的意见正确,司法特派员便为他伸张正义。司法特员采取的行动因意见的性质不同而有所不同。他可以善意地批评某位官员,也可以甚至向议会提议修改某项法律。下述事件是司法特派员工作的一个典型例子。 一个住在瑞典乡村的外国人写信给司法特派员,抱怨说他受到警察的虐待,原因就是因为他是个外国人。司法特派员立即写信给当地警察局长,请他寄送与此事有关的材料。材料中没有任何文字记载证明外国人所说的情况符合事实,警察局长矢口否认这一指控。司法特派员难以处理。但是,当他又收到住在同一村庄的另一个外国人写的一封内容类似的投诉信时,他立即派出一位律师前去调查。律师证实有个警察确实多次粗鲁地对待外国人。警察歧视外国人的事在官方档案中不可能加以记载,司法特派员只有派他的代表去核对事实才能了解真相。当事的警察受到严厉的斥责,并被告知,如果再有人投诉他,他将受到起诉。司法特派员及时采取的行动,迅速制止了这一起不愉快的事件,不然这件事可能因未得到人们注意而不了了之。 英语文章阅读带翻译篇二 Instinct or cleverness? We have been brought up to fear insects. We regard them as unnecessary creatures that do more harm than good. Man continually wages war on item, for they contaminate his food, carry diseases, or devour his crops. They sting or bite without provocation; they fly uninvited into our rooms on summer nights, or beat against our lighted windows. We live in dread not only of unpleasant insects like spiders or wasps, but of quite harmless ones like moths. Reading about them increases our understanding with out dispelling our fears. Knowing that the industrious ant lives in a highly organized society does nothing to prevent us from being filled with revulsion when we find hordes of them crawling over a carefully prepared picnic lunch. No matter how much we like honey, or how much we have read about the uncanny sense of direction which bees possess, we have a horror of being stung. Most of our fears are unreasonable, but they are impossible to erase. At the same time, however, insects are strangely fascinaing. We enjoy reading about them, especially when we find that, like the praying mantis, they lead perfectly horrible lives. We enjoy staring at them entranced as they go about their business, unaware (we hope) of our presence. Who has not stood in awe at the sight of a spider pouncing on a fly, or a column of ants triumphantly bearing home an enormous dead beetle ? Last summer I spent days in the garden watching thousands of ants crawling up the trunk of my prize peach tree. The tree has grown against a warm wall on a sheltered side of the house. I am especially proud of it, not only because it has survived several severe winters, but because it occasionally produces luscious peaches. During the summer, I noticed that the leaves of the tree were beginning to wither. Clusters of tiny insects called aphides were to be found on the underside of the leaves. They were visited by a laop colony of ants which obtained a sort of honey from them. I immediately embarked on an experiment which, even though it failed to get rid of the ants, kept me fascinated for twenty-four hours. I bound the base of the tree with sticky tape , making it impossible for the ants to reach the aphides. The tape was so sticky that they did not dare to cross it. For a long time, I watched them scurrying around the base of the tree in bewilderment. I even went out at midnight with a torch and noted with satisfaction (and surprise) that the ants were still swarming around the sticky tape without being able to do anything about it. I got up early next morning hoping to find that the ants had given up in despair. Instead, I saw that they had discovered a new route. They were climbing up the wall of the house and then on to the leaves of the tree. I realized sadly that I had been completely defeated by their ingenuity. The ants had been quick to find an answer to my thoroughly unscientific methods! 我们自幼就在对昆虫的惧怕中长大。我们把昆虫当作害多益少的无用东西。人类不断同昆虫斗争,因为昆虫弄脏我们的食物,传播疾病,吞噬庄稼。它们无缘无故地又叮又咬;夏天的晚上,它们未经邀请便飞到我们房间里,或者对着露出亮光的窗户乱扑乱撞。我们在日常生活中,不但憎恶如蜘蛛、黄蜂之类令人讨厌的昆虫,而且憎恶并无大害的飞蛾等。阅读有关昆虫的书能增加我们对它们的了解,却不能消除我们的恐惧的心理。即使知道勤奋的蚂蚁生活具有高度组织性的社会里,当看到大群蚂蚁在我们精心准备的午间野餐上爬行时,我们也无法抑制对它们的反感。不管我们多么爱吃蜂蜜,或读过多少关于蜜蜂具有神秘的识别方向的灵感的书,我们仍然十分害怕被蜂蜇。我们的恐惧大部分是没有道理的,但去无法消除。同时,不知为什么昆虫又是迷人的。我们喜欢看有关昆虫的书,尤其是当我们了解螳螂等过着一种令人生畏的生活时,就更加爱读有关昆虫的书了。我们喜欢入迷地看它们做事,它们不知道(但愿如此)我们就在它们身边。当看到蜘蛛扑向一只苍蝇时,一队蚂蚁抬着一只巨大的死甲虫凯旋归时,谁能不感到敬畏呢? 去年夏天,我花了好几天时间站在花园里观察成千只蚂蚁爬上我那棵心爱的桃树的树干。那棵树是靠着房子有遮挡的一面暖墙生长的。我为这棵树感到特别自豪,不仅因为它度过了几个寒冬终于活了下来,而且还因为它有时结出些甘甜的桃子来。到了夏天,我发现树叶开始枯萎,结果在树叶背面找到成串的叫作蚜虫小虫子。蚜虫遭到一窝蚂蚁的攻击,蚂蚁从它们身上可以获得一种蜜。我当即动手作了一项试验,这项试验尽管没有使我摆脱这些蚂蚁,却使我着迷了24小时。我用一条胶带把桃树底部包上,不让蚂蚁接近蚜虫。胶带极粘,蚂蚁不敢从上面爬过。在很长一段时间里,我看见蚂蚁围着大树底部来回转悠,不知所措。半夜,我还拿着电筒来到花园里,满意地(同时惊奇地)发现那些蚂蚁还围着胶带团团转。无能为力。第二天早上,我起床后希望看见蚂蚁已因无望而放弃了尝试,结果却发现它们又找到一条新的路径。它们正在顺着房子的外墙往上爬,然后爬上树叶。我懊丧地感到败在了足智多谋的蚂蚁的手下。蚂蚁已很快找到了相应的对策,来对付我那套完全不科学的办法! 英语文章阅读带翻译篇三 From the earth: greatings Radio astronomy has greatly increased our understanding of the universe. Radio telescopes have one big advantage over conventional telescopes in that they can operate in all weather conditions and can pick up signals coming from very distant stars. These signals are produced by colliding stars or nuclear reactions in outer space. The most powerful signals that have been received have been emitted by what seem to be truly colossal stars which scientists have named 'quasars'. A better understanding of these phenomena may completely alter our conception of the nature of the universe. The radio telescope at Jodrell Bank in England was for many years the largest in the world. A new telescope, over twice the size, was recently built at Sugar Grove in West Virginia. Astronomers no longer regard as fanciful the idea that they may one day pick up signals which have been sent by intelligent beings on other worlds. This possibility gives rise to interesting speculations. Highly advanced civilizations may have existed on other planets long before intelligent forms of life evolved on the earth. Conversely, intelligent being which are just beginning to develop on remote worlds may be ready to pick up our signals in thousands of years' time, or when life on earth has become extinct. Such speculations no longer belong to the realm of science fiction, for astronomers are now exploring the chances of communicating with living creatures (if they exist) on distant planets. This undertaking which has been named Project Ozma was begun in 1960, but it may take a great many years before results are obtained. Aware of the fact that it would be impossible to wait thousands or millions of years to receive an answer from a distant planet, scientists engaged in Project Ozma are concentrating their attention on stars which are relatively close. One of the most likely stars is Tau Ceti which is eleven light years away. If signals from the earth were received by intelligent creatures on a planet circling this star, we would have to wait twenty-two years for an answer. The Green Bank telescope in West Virginia has been specially designed to distinguish between random signals and signals which might be in code. Even if contact were eventually established, astronomers would not be able to rely on language to communicate with other beings. They would use mathematics as this is the only truly universal language. Numbers have the same value anywhere. For this reason, intelligent creatures in any part of the universe would be able to understand a simple arithmetical sequence. They would be able to reply to our signals using similar methods. The next step would be to try to develop means for sending television pictures. A single picture would tell us more than thousands of words. In an age when anything seems to be possible, it would be narrow-minded in the extreme to ridicule these attempts to find out if there is life in other parts of the universe. 天文学方面最新发展使得我们能够在银河系和其他星系发现行星。这是一个重要的成就,因为相对来说,行星很小,而且也不发光。寻找行星证明相当困难,但是要在行星上发现生命会变得无比艰难。第一个需要解答的问题是一颗行星是否有能够维持生命的条件。举例来说,在我们的太阳系里,对于生命来说,金星的温度太高,而火星的温度则太低。只有地球提供理想的条件,而即使在这里,植物和动物的进化也用了40亿年的时间。 一颗行星是否能够维持生命取决于它的恒星——即它的“太阳”——的大小和亮度。设想一下,一颗恒星比我们的太阳还要大,还要亮,还要热20倍,那么一颗行星为了维持生命就要离开的它的恒星非常远。反之,如果恒星很小,维持生命的行星就要在离恒星很近的轨道上运行,而且要有极好的条件才能使生命得以发展,但是,我们如何才能找到这样一颗行星呢?现在,没有一台现存的望远镜可以发现生命的存在。而开发这样一台望远镜将会是21世纪天文学的一个重要的研究课题。 使用放置在地球上的望远镜是无法观察到其他行星的生命的。地球周围温暖的大气层和望远镜散出的热量使得我们根本不可能找到比行星更小的物体。即使是一台放置在围绕地球的轨道上的望远镜——如非常成功的哈勃望远镜——也因为太阳系中的尘埃微粒而无法胜任。望远镜要放置在木星那样遥远的行星上才有可能在外层空间搜寻生命。因为我们越是接近太阳系的边缘,尘埃就越稀薄。一旦我们找到这样一颗行星,我们就要想办法将它的恒星射过来的光线遮暗,这样我们就能彻底“看见”这颗行星,并分析它的大气层。首先我们要寻找植物,而不是那种“小绿人”。行星上最容易生存下来的是细菌。正是细菌生产出我们在地球上呼吸的氧气。在地球上发展的大部分进程中,细菌是地球上唯一的生命形式。作为地球上的居民,我们总存有这样的希望:小绿人来 拜访 我们,而我们可以和他们交流。但是,这种希望总是只在科幻小说中存在。如果我们能够在另一颗行星上找到诸如细菌的那种低等生命,那么这个发现将彻底改变我们对我们自己的看法。正如美国国家航空和宇宙航空局的丹尼尔.戈尔丁指出的“在其他地方发现生命会改变一切。任何人类的努力和想法都会发生变化。”
随着经济全球化发展,英语在全球范围内被广泛使用,成为国际通用语, 具有国际化。但是随着英语在世界各地的使用, 不可避免地受到当地文化的影响,英语又具有本土化。我精心收集了经典英语小短文带翻译,供大家欣赏学习! 经典英语小短文带翻译:良好的生活态度 A Good Life Attitude Life is posed of plex things and emotions, but sometimes a good life attitude can change a lot, showing a different world for everyone. We all know that taking the college entrance examination is one of the most important things for a person’s whole life. Of course, high school students will under great pressure. So, how to treat it properly before and after the exam is very important. My opinions are as following. 生活有各种复杂的事情以及情感构造而成,然而有时候良好的生活态度可以有很大的改变,为我们展示了一个不一样的世界。众所周知参加高考是每个人一生中最重要的事情之一。当然,高中生肯定得承受很大的压力。所以,如何在考前以及考后看待这个考试是很重要的。我的观点如下。 First of all, keeping a good life attitude is helpful for college entrance exam. As everyone regards it as so important and students themselves also put so much effort on it, they are surely stressful when it is ing. Some cannot fall asleep, some cannot think, and some cannot memorize things well because they are too nervous. As a result, they may not perform well in the exam. However, if they can keep a usual mind, they maybe at their best to get a good mark. 首先,保持良好的生活态度有助于高考。因为每个人都把高考看得那么重要,而且学生本身也为此付出了很大努力,当高考即将来临时他们肯定会压力山大。由于过于紧张,有人会失眠,有人会脑子一片空白,还有人会记不住知识。所以,他们在考试中可能会表现失常。但是,如果他们可以保持良好的生活态度,他们就有可能处他们最好的状态,从而取得好成绩。 In addition, after the high school entrance examination, keeping a good lift attitude is very important. Having experienced so stressful study for a long time, some students start to indulge themselves. Some may be very lazy and some may do some crazy things to relax. However, it turns out that their behavior will ruin themselves at last. If they have a good life attitude, they would relax themselves in a proper way not excessive. 而且,高考之后保持良好的心态也是很重要的。在长期经历高压学习后,有些学生会开始堕落。有些可能会很懒,或者做一些疯狂的事来放松自我。然而,他们的这些行为最终有可能会毁了他们。如果他们能保持良好的生活态度,他们就会正确的放松而不是过度。 In a word, keeping a good life attitude is significant and helpful in everyone’s whole life. 总之,保持良好的生活态度在每个人的一生中都是很重要,也是很有帮助的。 经典英语小短文带翻译:旅游景点的保护和拯救 Protection and Rescue of Tourist Attractions Over the past decades, we have seen a conspicuously soaring number of international tourists visiting a diversity of tourist attractions. At the same time, I am despondent to discover that the positions of cultural heritages and natural attractions are jeopardized severely. 在过去的几十年间,我们已经可以看到参观各种各样旅游景点的旅客数目显著地急剧增长。与此同时,我很伤心的看到文化遗产和自然景区正遭受着严重的损害。 According to a recent report conducted by Thames, the well-known vacation resort-- Mediterranean is getting close to a toilet, posing a disastrous hazard of getting infected by bacteria to visitors who swim in the sea. What’s more deleterious, the famous fresco and sculptures in Sistine Cathedral located in Vatican was eroded and rotten by heat emitted from visitors. Apart from that, pared with the number that 14 people went down the Colorado River in USA twenty years ago, the present visitors aggregate to over one thousand, making the river much more congested. 根据泰晤士报最新的资料,妇孺皆知的度假胜地-地中海正在变成像是一个无法冲水的马桶,因为它使得在其中游泳的旅客有被细菌感染的威胁。更加严重的是,梵蒂冈大教堂中著名的壁画和雕塑正在被游客散发出的热量所腐蚀。除此之外,20年前美国的科罗拉多河上每天只有14个人顺流而下,相比之下如今这一资料已经超过了一千,使得科罗拉多河变得极其拥挤。 It is high time that we should place some regulations to protect tourist attractions. The primary proposal came up in my mind is that, local government should carry out more rigid laws banning mi *** ehavior in tourist attractions such as doodling and spitting arbitrarily. In the second place, it is undeniable that restriction on the number of tourists can make a difference. Keeping the flow of visitors under control will undoubtedly exert beneficial influence on cultural heritages such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. 现在真的是我们应当出台保护旅游景点管理条例的时候了。我脑中浮现的第一个解决措施就是让当地的 *** 出台更加严格的法律条例来惩治旅游景点内旅客的品行不端,如随手涂鸦和随地吐痰。第二,可以肯定的说限制旅客数量也会产生重大意义。保持旅客数量在控制范围之内必然会对诸如紫禁城,长城这类文化遗产祈祷好的影响。 Last but not least, the rising awareness of acting morally is also a necessity. Only with more citizens attaching crucial significance to the living condition of tourist attractions can we solve this conundrum from its foundation. 最后但不是最次要的一点是人们增强文明表现的意识也必不可少。只有当更多的公民能重视旅游景点的现状,我们才能真正从根本上解决这一问题。 经典英语小短文带翻译:Preparing For A Perfect Journey 为完美旅程做准备 Beautiful landscapes, exotic cultures and a relaxing time all contribute to the perfect journey. Journey can bring us much happiness, people all think about how wonderful their journey will be, but the preparation is also a fun part of one’s trip. 美丽的风景,异国情调的文化和放松的时间,所有这些都是完美假期所包含的。旅途可以带给人很多乐趣,人们所能想到的就是他们的假期将会有多么的美妙,但是准备也是旅途有趣的一部分。 Liu is a college student, he went to travel to Tibet last week, “thinking about my experiences of travel, it’s the preparation beforehand that helps me a lot, I keep an enduring memory.” Liu says. We know preparation before the journey is very important, it ensures people safety, at the same time, people can have fun. What should people prepare for? 刘是一名大学生,他上周去 *** 旅游,“想到我的旅游经验,提前的准备给我带来了很大的帮助,我留下了难忘的回忆。”刘说。我们知道在旅游前做准备是很重要的,这能确保人们的安全,同时,人们可以享受乐趣。人们应该准备什么呢? People should sketch a detailed route taking into account first. They need to check out their route very clearly, so they won’t lose their way. The second is to book the hotel earlier, make sure there is available room for you when you go to the place, if people don’t do it, sometimes there will be no room left. The third is to check out the weather during your journey, to make sure it fits your journey. 人们首先应该描绘出详细的路线。他们需要检查清楚路线,这样他们就不会迷路。第二要早点订旅馆,确保当你去目的地的时候还有空余的房间,如果不这样做,有时候会没有房间。第三要看看在你旅游期间的天气,确保和你旅游期间的相符。 Preparation before journey is of importance, it decides how much fun you will share, so don’t ignore it. 旅游前的准备很重要,这决定了你快乐的程度,因此不要忽略。

Here is how: As soon as the hostess picks up her napkin, pick yours up and lay it on your lap. Sometimes a roll of bread is wrapped in it; if so, take it out and put it on your plate. The hostess herself usually serves the main course and then asks each guest what he prefers, it is quite proper to state your preference as to lean or fat, dark or light. If you have English and American friends you will notice a few differences in their eating habits. The food is passed around at your left hand so that you can conveniently serve yourself with your right hand. Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right; it is then the turn of your neighbor on the right. It is polite to take some of everything that is passed to you. But if there is something you do not like, you may quietly say: No, thank you. 问题四:“一篇文章”用英语怎么说 an article/essay 问题五:什么软件可以翻译英语整篇课文,或者是英语作文(不要百度翻译,谷歌翻译,没有用) 我一般用必应 问题六:有什么手机软件是可以翻译整篇英语课文的,最好是可以拍照翻译的。 还是Google翻译比较好吧,手机可以直接拍照。准确度高一点 问题七:翻译一篇英语文章 感恩节是美国最真正的美国全国性节日,是最密切的国家的历史最早连接。 1620年,在定居者,或朝圣者,他们乘船到美国的5月花,寻找一个互方,他们可以有宗教信仰自由。经过暴风骤雨般两个月航程,他们在冰冷的11降落,现在所指的普利茅斯,美国马萨诸塞州。 在他们的第一个冬天,超过一半的定居者死亡[1]饥饿或流行。那些幸存下来谁第一个开始春播。 整个夏天,他们等了很紧张地的收成,知道他们的生活和未来的殖民地的存在取决于未来的收获。最后,领域产生的收益,丰富超出了预期。因此,决定一个感恩的主的日子定[2]。年后,美国总统宣布的第四个星期四为感恩节,每年的11月。在感恩节庆祝活动已观察到该日到今天。 感恩节的庆祝方式从来没有改变经过多年。大团圆饭,计划未来数月。在餐桌上,人们会发现苹果,橘子,板栗,核桃和葡萄。将有葡萄干布丁,肉馅饼,食品和酸果蔓汁和壁球等品种。最好的和最有吸引力的,他们中有烤火鸡和南瓜派。他们这些年来一直在感恩节的传统和最喜爱的食物。 大家同意的必须围绕一个敷料塞进面包烤火鸡晚餐建[3]美味果汁吸收,因为它烤肉。不过,烹调随家人的生活的地区之一,是不容易获得共识的[4]为馅精确皇家鸟类种类。 问题八:有没有什么手机英语翻译软件可以拍照上传翻译一整篇文章的? 网易有道

经典优美英文文章1
Have You Seen the Tree
你见过那棵树吗
My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it."Have you seen the tree?" she asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the October twilight.
关于那棵树,最初是我的邻居加根太太告诉我的。“你见过那棵树吗?”她问道,当时我正坐在后院欣赏十月的暮色。
"The one down at the corner," she explained. "It's a beautiful tree-all kinds of are stopping to look. You ought to see it."
“就是下去拐角处的那棵”她解释说,“漂亮极了—五颜六色的。好多车路过都停下来看,你该去看看。”
I told her I would, but I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street, my mind swimming with petty worries, when a splash of bright orange caught my eye. For an instant, I thought someone's house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.
我对她说我会去看的,可转眼就忘记了关于树的事。三天后,我顺着街道慢跑,脑子里充斥着恼人的小事,忽然,一片耀眼的橘红色映入眼帘,有一会儿,我还以为是谁家的房子着火了呢,但我马上想到了那棵树。
As I approached it, I slowed to a walk. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree. a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its the messy whirl of an artist's palette, the tree blazed a bright crimson on its lower branches, burned with vivid yellows and oranges in its center. and simmered to deep red at its top. Through these fiery colors cascaded thin rivulets of pale-green leaves and blotches of deep-green leaves, as yet untouched by autumn.
我慢慢走近它.就像朝圣者缓缓步向神殿,我发现靠近树梢的地方有几根光秃秃的枝丫,上面黑乎乎的小枝像鹰爪一般伸向天空。枯枝上落下的叶子一片猩红,像地毯似的铺在树干周围。
Edging closer-like a pilgrim approaching a shrine-I noticed several bare branches near the top, their black twigs scratching the air like leaves they had shed lay like a scarlet carpet around the trunk.
当我靠近树时,禁不住放慢了脚步。树的形状并没有什么非凡之处,是一棵中等大小的枫树。但加根太太说得不错,它的色彩确实奇特,像画家调色板中斑斓的颇料,令人眼花缭乱。树底部的枝丫好似一片鲜红的火海,树的中部燃烧着明快的黄色和橘色,顶部的树梢又爆发着深红色。在这火一样的色彩中,流淌着浅绿的叶子汇成的小溪,深绿的叶子斑驳点缀其间,似乎至今末曾受到过秋天的侵袭。
With its varied nations of color, this tree seemed to become a globe, embracing in its broad branches all seasons and continents: the spring and summer of the Southern hemisphere in the light and dark greens, the autumn and winter of the Northern in the blazing yellows and bare branches.
这棵枫树集各种颇色于一体。如果一种颜色就是一个国家,枫树俨然成了一个缤纷的地球,它张开宽大的枝条,历数着四季轮回,容纳着五湖四海。深浅错落的绿叶,昭示着南半球的春夏,耀眼的黄叶和光秃秃的枝丫勾勒出北半球的秋冬。整个星球就围绕这一时空的交集点和谐运转。
As I marveled at this all-encompassing beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson's comments about the stars. If the constellations appeared only once in a thousand years, he observed in Nature, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they're up there every night, we barely give them a look.
我为这棵树无所不包的美而惊叹不已。这时,我想起了著名作家拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生有关星星的评论。他在《自然》一书中写道:倘若星座一千年才出现一次,那么,星座的出现是一桩多么激动人心的事;可正因为星座每夜都挂在天上,人们才很少去看上一眼。
I felt the same way about the tree. Because its majesty will last only a week, it should be especially precious to us. And I had almost missed it.
对于眼前这棵树,我也有同感。它此时的华美只能维持一个星期,所以它对于我们就相当珍贵。可我竟差一点错过了。
Once when Emily Dickenson's father noticed a brilliant display of northern lights in the sky over Massachusetts, he tolled a church bell to alert townspeople. That's what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to become a Paul Revere of autumn, awakening the countryside to its wonder.
有一次,当埃米莉·迪金森的父亲偶然看见马萨诸塞州上空一道炫目的北极光时,他立刻跑到教堂鸣钟告知所有市民。现在,我也产生了同样的想法,我要向世人宣扬这棵树。我愿成为秋天的信使。让田园乡村每一个角落的人们都了解它的神奇。
I didn't have a church bell or a horse, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple but momentous question Mrs. Gargan had asked me: "Have you seen the tree?"
可我没有教堂的大钟,也没有快马,但当我走在回家的路上,我会问遇见的每一位邻居加根太太曾问过我的那个极其简单又极其重要的问题:“你见过那棵树吗?”

欲爱人,先自爱
I want to fall in love in 2016.
在2016年我渴望坠入爱河。
I want to fall head over heels this year. By the very end of it, I want to be bursting at the seams of all my scars with a love burning happily in my heart.
这一年我希望自己爱得死心塌地。待到年末之际,我希望冲破所有创伤,让爱的火焰在心中快乐地燃烧。
I want the authentic feeling that surpasses dreaming -- a love that is true and never fleeting. I want this for myself as well as for you. I'd like it for the world, if possible.
我渴望那种超越梦境的真实感觉——那种真正的、永不流逝的爱。我希望你我皆有这种感觉。如果可能的话,全世界都能享受这种感觉。
I want to be every fear I've ever held in the darkest parts of my heart transformed into the purest desire for truth. I want to feel the magic of love singing my soul to sleep.
我希望我内心最阴暗处曾拥有的每一份恐惧都转化为对真爱最热切的渴望。我期望感受到那种魔力,那种爱情唱着歌让灵魂入眠的魔力。
I want to fall in love before I fall for you.
在爱上你之前,我想先坠入爱河。
So I would like to fall in love many times this year, so that I may know how extraordinary you are when you appear.
所以今年我想坠入爱河很多次,次数多到你一出现我就知道你是多么的与众不同。
I must fall in love this year so I can understand the magnitude of what you will be -- of what you will mean to me, and I to you.
我今年一定要坠入爱河,这样我才能知道你的出现是多么的重要——关于你对我、我对你意味着什么。
That's how I want to fall in love in 2016. I want to know love before I know you. I want to feel its essence and understand its woes. I want to fall in love this way so that I am full of so much love to hand to you, and I am waiting patiently for the day when I can give it all to you.
这些就是2016年我想去爱的方式。我想在认识你之前先懂得爱,我想感受到爱情的本质并懂得它的悲哀。我想如此去爱,这样我就会有足够的爱来传递给你,我会耐心地等待着那一天的到来,在那天我将把所有爱都传递给你。

经典英文励志文章:你该如何度过大学生涯
Dear Daughter:
亲爱的女儿:
As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.
当我们开车驶出哥伦比亚大学的时候,我想写一封信给你,告诉你盘旋在我脑中的想法。
First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament of what a great well-rounded student you are. Your academic, artistic, and social skills have truly blossomed in the last few years. Whether it is getting the highest grade in Calculus, completing your elegant fashion design, successfully selling your painted running shoes, or becoming one of the top orators in Model United Nations, you have become a talented and accomplished young woman. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.
首先,我想告诉你我们为你感到特别骄傲。进入哥伦比亚大学证明你是一个全面发展的优秀学生,你的学业、艺术和社交技能最近都有卓越的表现,无论是你在微积分上得了最高分,完成自己典雅的时尚的设计,成功卖出绘制的跑鞋,还是在“模拟联合国”演说中成为表现最突出的人之一,你毫无疑问已经是一个多才多艺的女孩。你的父母为你感到骄傲,你也应该像我们一样为自己感到自豪。
I will always remember the first moment I held you in my arms. I felt a tingling sensation that directly touched my heart. It was an intoxicating feeling I will always have. It must be that "father-daughter connection" which will bind us for life. I will always remember singing you lullaby while I rocked you to sleep. When I put you down, it was always with both relief (she finally fell asleep!) and regret (wishing I could hold you longer). And I will always remember taking you to the playground, and watching you having so much fun. You were so cute and adorable, and that is why everybody loved you so.
我会永远记得第一次将你抱在臂弯的那一刻,一种新鲜激动的感觉瞬间触动了我的心,那是一种永远让我陶醉的感觉,就是那种将我们的一生都联结在一起的“父女情结”。我也常常想起我唱着催眠曲轻摇你入睡,当我把你放下的时候,常常觉得既解脱又惋惜,一方面我想,她终于睡着了!另一方面,我又多么希望自己可以多抱你一会儿。我还记得带你到运动场,看着你玩得那么开心,你是那样可爱,所有人都非常爱你。
You have been a great kid ever since you were born, always quiet, empathetic, attentive, and well-mannered. You were three when we built our house. I remember you quietly followed us every weekend for more than ten hours a day to get building supplies. You put up with that boring period without a fuss, happily ate hamburgers every meal in the car, sang with Barney until you fell asleep. When you went to Sunday Chinese school, you studied hard even though it was no fun for you. I cannot believe how lucky we are as parents to have a daughter like you.
你不但长得可爱,而且是个特别乖巧的孩子。你从不吵闹、为人着想,既听话又有礼貌。当你三岁我们建房子的时候,每个周末十多个小时你都静静地跟着我们去运建筑材料,三餐在车上吃着汉堡,唱着儿歌,唱累了就睡觉,一点都不娇气不抱怨。你去上周日的中文学习班时,尽管一点也不觉得有趣,却依然很努力。我们做父母的能有像你这样的女儿真的感到非常幸运。
You have been an excellent elder sister. Even though you two had your share of fights, the last few years you have become best friends. Your sister loves you so much, and she loves to make you laugh. She looks up to you, and sees you as her role model. As you saw when we departed, she misses you so much. And I know that you miss her just as much. There is nothing like family, and other than your parents, your sister is the one person who you can trust and confide in. She will be the one to take care of you, and the one you must take care of. There is nothing we wish more than that your sisterhood will continue to bond as you grow older, and that you will take care of each other throughout your lives. For the next four years, do have a short video chat with her every few days, and do email her when you have a chance.
你也是个很好的姐姐。虽然你们姐妹以前也会打架,但是长大后,你们真的成为了好朋友。妹妹很爱你,很喜欢逗你笑,她把你当成她的榜样看待。我们开车离开哥大后,她非常想你,我知道你也很想她。世界上最宝贵的就是家人。和父母一样,妹妹就是你最可以信任的人。随着年龄的增长,你们姐妹之间的情谊不变,你们互相照应,彼此关心,这就是我最希望见到的事情了。在你的大学四年,有空时你一定要常常跟妹妹视频聊聊天,写写电子邮件。
College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. You often question "what good is this course". I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about – this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever.
大学将是你人生最重要的时光,在大学里你会发现学习的真谛。你以前经常会问到 “这个课程有什么用”,这是个好问题,但是我希望你理解:“教育的真谛就是当你忘记一切所学到的东西之后所剩下的东西。”我的意思是,最重要的不是你学到的具体的知识,而是你学习新事物和解决新问题的能力。这才是大学学习的真正意义——这将是你从被动学习转向自主学习的阶段,之后你会变成一个很好的自学者。所以,即便你所学的不是生活里所急需的,也要认真看待大学里的每一门功课,就算学习的技能你会忘记,学习的能力是你将受用终身的。
Do not fall into the trap of dogma. There is no single simple answer to any question. Remember during your high school debate class, I always asked you to take on the side that you don't believe in? I did that for a reason -- things rarely "black and white", and there are always many ways to look at a problem. You will become a better problem solver if you recognized that. This is called "critical thinking", and it is the most important thinking skill you need for your life. This also means you need to become tolerant and supportive of others. I will always remember when I went to my . advisor and proposed a new thesis topic. He said "I don't agree with you, but I'll support you." After the years, I have learned this isn't just flexibility, it is encouragement of critical thinking, and an empowering style of leadership, and it has become a part of me. I hope it will become a part of you too.
不要被教条所束缚,任何问题都没有一个唯一的简单的答案。还记得当我帮助你高中的辩论课程时,我总是让你站在你不认可的那一方来辩论吗?我这么做的理由就是希望你能够理解:看待一个问题不应该非黑即白,而是有很多方法和角度。当你意识到这点的时候,你就会成为一个很好的解决问题者。这就是“批判的思维”——你的'一生都会需要的最重要的思考方式,这也意味着你还需要包容和支持不同于你的其他观点。我永远记得我去找我的博士导师提出了一个新论题,他告诉我:“我不同意你,但我支持你。”多年后,我认识到这不仅仅是包容,而是一种批判式思考,更是令人折服的领导风格,现在这也变成了我的一部分。我希望这也能成为你的一部分。
Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped in what others think or say. Steve Jobs says when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them. In his great speech given at Stanford commencement, he gave the great example where he took calligraphy, and a decade later, it became the basis of the beautiful Macintosh fonts, which later ignited desktop publishing, and brought wonderful tools like Microsoft Word to our lives. His expedition into calligraphy was a dot, and the Macintosh became the connecting line. So don't worry too much about what job you will have, and don't be too utilitarian, and if you like Japanese or Korean, go for it, even if your dad thinks "it's not useful" : ) Enjoy picking your dots, and be assured one day you will find your calling, and connect a beautiful curve through the dots.
在大学里你要追随自己的激情和兴趣,选你感兴趣的课程,不要困扰于别人怎么说或怎么想。史蒂夫乔布斯曾经说过,在大学里你的热情会创造出很多点,在你随后的生命中你会把这些点串联起来。在他著名的斯坦福毕业典礼演讲中,他举了一个很好的例子:他在大学里修了看似毫无用处的书法,而十年后,这成了苹果Macintosh里漂亮字库的基础,而因为Macintosh有这么好的字库,才带来了桌面出版和今天的办公软件(例如微软Office)。他对书法的探索就是一个点,而苹果Macintosh把多个点联结成了一条线。所以不要太担心将来你要做什么样的工作,也不要太急功近利。假如你喜欢日语或韩语,就去学吧,即使你爸爸曾认为那没什么用:)尽兴地选择你的点吧,要有信念有一天机缘来临时,你会找到自己的人生使命,画出一条美丽的曲线。
Do your best in classes, but don't let pressure get to you. Your mother and I have no expectations for your grades. If you graduate and learn something in your four years, we would feel happy. Your Columbia degree will take you far, even if you don't graduate with honors. So please don't give yourself pressure. During your last few months in high school, you were so happy because there was little pressure and college applications are finished. But in the past few weeks, we saw you are beginning to worry (did you know you bite your nails when you are nervous?). Please don't be worried. The only thing that matters is that you learned. The only metric you should use is that you tried. Grades are just silly letters that give the vain people something to brag, and the lazy people something to fear. You are too good to be either.
在功课上要尽力,但不要给自己太多压力。你妈妈和我在成绩上对你没什么要求,只要你能顺利毕业并在这四年里学到了些东西,我们就会很高兴了。即便你毕业时没有获得优异的成绩,你的哥伦比亚学位也将带你走得很远。所以别给自己压力。在你高中生活的最后几个月,因为压力比较小,大学申请也结束了,你过得很开心,但是在最近的几个星期,你好像开始紧张起来。(你注意到你紧张时会咬指甲吗?)千万别担心,最重要的是你在学习,你需要的唯一衡量是你的努力程度。成绩只不过是虚荣的人用以吹嘘和慵懒的人所恐惧的无聊数字而已,而你既不虚荣也不慵懒。
Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life, because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family. Also, going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding experience. Pick a few friends and become really close to them – pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. Don't worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities. You have developed some real friendships in high school in your last two years, so trust your instinct, and make new friends. You are a genuine and sincere person – anyone would enjoy being your friend, so be confident, outgoing, and pro-active. If you think you like someone, tell her. You have very little to lose. Give people the benefit of the doubt; don't stereotype and be forgiving. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success – that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they do something to lose my trust). Some people tell me that occasionally I would be taken advantage of. They are right, but I can tell you that that loss is nothing compared to what I gained. In my last 18 years leading people, I have realized that only one thing matters – to gain the trust and respect of others, and to do so, you need to trust and respect others first. Whether it is for management, work, or friendship, this is something you should ponder.
最重要的是在大学里你要交一些朋友,快乐生活。大学的朋友往往是生命中最好的朋友,因为在大学里你和朋友能够近距离交往。另外,在一块儿成长,一起独立,很自然地你们就会紧紧地系在一起,成为密友。你应该挑选一些真诚诚恳的朋友,跟他们亲近,别在乎他们的爱好、成绩、外表甚至性格。你在高中的最后两年已经交到了一些真正的朋友,所以尽可以相信自己的直觉,再交一些新朋友吧。你是一个真诚的人,任何人都会喜欢跟你做朋友的,所以要自信、外向、主动一点,如果你喜欢某人,就告诉她,就算她拒绝了,你也没有损失什么。以最大的善意去对人,不要有成见,要宽容。人无完人,只要他们很真诚,就信任他们,对他们友善。他们将给你相同的回报,这是我成功的秘密——我以诚待人,信任他人(除非他们做了失信于我的事)。有人告诉这样有时我会被占便宜,他们是对的,但是我可以告诉你:以诚待人让我得到的远远超过我失去的。在我做管理的18年里,我学到一件很重要的事——要想得到他人的信任和尊重,只有先去信任和尊重他人。无论是管理、工作、交友,这点都值得你参考。
Do keep your high school friends, and stay connected to them, but do not use them as substitutes for college friendship, and do not spend too much time with them, because that would eat into your time to make new friends.
要和你高中时代的朋友保持联系,但是不要用他们来取代大学的友谊,也不要把全部的时间都花在老朋友身上,因为那样你就会失去交新朋友的机会了。
Start planning for your summers early – what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? What have you learned in college that might change your mind? I think your plan of studying fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get into the right courses. We of course hope you come back to Beijing, but you should go where you think is best for you.
你还要早点开始规划你的暑假——你想做什么?你想呆在哪儿?你想学点什么?你在大学里学习是否会让你有新的打算?我觉得你学习艺术设计的计划很不错,你应该想好你该去哪儿学习相应的课程。我们当然希望你回到北京,但是最终的决定是你的。
Whether it is summer-planning, or coursework planning, or picking a major, or managing your time, you should take control of your life. In the past, I have helped you quite a bit, whether it is in college application, designing your extracurricular activities, or picking the initial coursework. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver's seat – this is your life, and you need to be in control. I will always remember the exhilarating feeling in my life – that I got to decide to skip kindergarten, that I got to decide to change to computer science major, that I got to decide to leave academia for Apple, that I got to decide to go to China, that I got to decide to go to Google, and most recently, that I got to decide to start my own business. Being able to decide means you get to live the life that you want to. Life is too short to live the life others do or others want you. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you'll love it!
不管是暑假计划,功课规划,抑或是选专业,管理时间,你都应该负责你的人生。过去不管是申请学校、设计课外活动或者选择最初的课程,我都从旁帮助了你不少。以后,我仍然会一直站你身旁,但是现在是你自己掌舵的时候了。我常常记起我生命中那些令人振奋的时刻——在幼儿园决定跳级,决定转到计算机科学专业,决定离开学术界选择Apple,决定回中国,决定选择Google,乃至最近选择创办我的新公司。有能力进行选择意味着你会过上自己想要的生活。生命太短暂了,你不能过别人想要你过的生活。掌控自己的生命是很棒的感觉,试试吧,你会爱上它的!
I told your mom I'm writing this letter, and asked what she wanted me to say. She thought and said: "just ask her to take care of herself." Simple but deeply caring – that is how your mother is, and that is why you love her so much. In this simple sentence is her hope that you will become independent in the way you take care of yourself – that you will remember to take your medicine, that you will get enough sleep, that you will have a balanced diet, that you will get some exercise, and that you will go see a doctor whenever you don't feel good. An ancient Chinese proverb says that the most important thing to be nice to your parents is to take care of yourself. This is because your parents love you so much, and that if you are well, they will have comfort. You will understand this one day when you become a mother. But in the meantime, please listen to your mother and take care of yourself.
我告诉你妈妈我在写这封信,问她有什么想对你说的,她想了想,说“让她好好照顾自己”,很简单却饱含着真切的关心——这一向是你深爱的妈妈的特点。这短短的一句话,是她想提醒你很多事情,比如要记得自己按时吃药,好好睡觉,保持健康的饮食,适量运动,不舒服的时候要去看医生等等。中国有句古语,说“身体发肤,受之父母,不敢毁伤,孝之始也”。这句话的意思用比较新的方法诠释就是说:父母最爱的就是你,所以照顾好自己就是孝顺最好的方法。当你成为母亲的那天,你就会理解这些。在那天之前,听妈妈的,你一定要好好照顾自己。
College is the four years where you have:
the greatest amount of free time
大学是你自由时间最多的四年。
the first chance to be independent
大学是你第一次学会独立的四年。
the most flexibility to change
大学是可塑性最强的四年。
the lowest risk for making mistakes
大学是犯错代价最低的四年。

英文经典文章摘抄1
The Faculty of Delight
喜悦的能力
Among the mind's powers is one that comes of itself to many children and artists. It need not be lost, to the end of his days, by any one who has ever had it. This is the power of taking delight in a thing, or rather in anything, everything, not as a means to some other end, but just because it is what it is, as the lover dotes on whatever may be the traits of the beloved object. A child in the full health of his mind wifi put his hand flat on the summer turf, feel it, and give a little shiver of private glee at the elastic firmness of the globe. He is not thinking how well it will do for some game or to feed sheep upon. That would be the way of the wooer whose mind runs on his mistress's money. The child's is sheer affection, the true ecstatic sense of the thing's inherent characteristics. No matter what the things may be, no matter what they are good or no good for, there they are, each with a thrilling unique look and feel of its own, like a face; the iron astringently coop under its paint, the painted wood familiarly warmer, the clod crumbling enchantingly down in the hands, with its little dry smell of the sun and of hot nettles ; each common thing a personality marked by delicious differences.
在心智的各种能力中,有一种能力对于许多 儿童 和艺术家来说是与生倶来的,而且一旦获得它,就终身不会失去。这种能力就是对一件事物、甚至对每件事物都感到喜悦的能力。之所以感到喜悦,并不是因为那件事物是达到其他目的的手段,只是因为这件事情本身,正如一个情人觉得他所喜爱的对象是十全十美一样。一个心智健康的儿童也许会把他的手放在夏天的草地上,抚摸着它,他觉得坚实的大地也有点弹性,因而打心眼里感到欣喜。他并不会考虑这草地对于人们玩游戏或用来放羊会有多大好处。如果这样的话,那就是一心贪图钱财的追求者的恶劣行径了。但这孩子内心的喜悦却是至真至纯的,是对这件事物的内在特性感到真正的心醉神迷。不管这些事物是什么,也不管它们对什么有用或者没用,它们自然地存在着,有着自己动人的外观与感觉,就像一张面孔那样;油漆下面冰凉的钢铁,温暖可亲的彩色木料,拿在手中一揉就碎的令人着迷的土块,微微含着日晒与荨麻的干燥气味;各种普通的事物都有着可爱的差别,因而都突显了其独特的性格。
The joy of an Adam new to the garden and just looking round is brought by the normal child to the things that he does as well as those that he sees. To be suffered to do some plain work with the real spade used by mankind can give him a mystical exaltation : to come home with his legs, as the French say, reentering his body from the fatigue of helping the gardener to weed beds sends him to sleep in the glow of a beatitude that is an end in itself…
初到伊甸园的亚当左右张望,充满喜悦,这正是一个正常的儿童在做什么或看什么时所感到的欣喜之情。如果让他拿起人们使用的真正的铲子去做点普通的劳动,那他肯定会感到一种神秘的喜悦。当他经过一番辛劳,帮助园丁把花园里的杂草除掉,两只脚像缩进身体里似的走了回来(像法国人说的那样),他会在一片纯粹的喜悦之光的照耀下安然睡去……
英文经典文章摘抄2
Serenity
平静
Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in selfcontrol, Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.
心灵的平静是智慧的宝藏,它来自于长期、耐心的自我控制。内心的安宁是经历成熟的表现,也是对思想活动规律的更深入的了解。
A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene.
一个人能否心境平和,取决于他对自己的了解程度,因为如果他想了解别人,就必须先了解自己;当他对人对己有了更深入的了解,并越来越清晰地洞察到事物内部息息相关的因果关系时,他就不会再惊讶、愤怒、焦虑或忧愁,而是以从容、镇定、平和的态度去对待一切。
The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others; and they, in turn, reverence his spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of him and rely upon him. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Even the ordinary trader will find his business prosperity increase as he develops a greater selfcontrol and equanimity, for people will always prefer to deal with a man whose demeanor is strongly equable.
镇静的人知道怎样控制自己,也知道如何去适应与他人相处;反之,别人也会对他的人格魅力表示尊重,并会以他为榜样,认为他是个可靠的人。一个人越是处变不惊,他的成就、影响力和号召力就越大。即使是一个普通商人,如果他遇事能够很好地自我控制并镇定自若,那么他会发现自己的生意蒸蒸日上;因为人们总是更愿意与一个举止从容、沉着冷静的人打交道。
The strong, calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shadegiving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. "Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweettempered, balanced life?" It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character, which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold — yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money seeking looks in comparison with a serene life, a life that dwells in the ocean of truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the eternal calm!
坚强、冷静的人总是会赢得人们的好感和敬意;他就像烈日下一棵浓荫遮地的大树,或是暴风雨中能够遮风挡雨的巨岩。“谁不爱一颗安静的心,一个温和、平实的生命呢?”无论是狂风暴雨,还是红曰当空,无论是天翻地覆,还是命运逆转,一切都等闲视之,因为这样的人永远都是谦和、冷静、沉着。那种我们称之为泰然自若的平静性格,是修养的最后一课,也是灵魂之花的硕果。它像智慧一样宝贵,价值胜过黄金一是的,胜过足赤真金。与宁静的生活相比,追逐名利的行为多么不值一提,那是一种在真理的海洋中的生活,在惊涛骇浪之下,远离暴风雨的侵扰,永远存在于宁静之中。
"How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood! It is a question whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives and mar their happiness by lack of selfcontrol. How few people we meet in life who are well balanced, who have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!"
“我们认识的许多人都把自己的生活搞得一片狼藉,他们的怒火破坏了所有美好的事物,同时也摧毁了自己安静的生活,并遗祸后代!现在的问题是,大多数人是否因为缺乏自我控制能力而破坏了自己的生活,损毁了原有的幸福呢?在生活中,我们很少遇到能够做到沉着冷静、拥有成熟的性格所特有的那种平静的人。”
Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt. Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.
是的,人性因为无法控制的激情而躁动不安,因为放任无度的悲伤而起伏波动,因为焦虑和猜疑而备受打击。只有睿智的人,只有控制并净化了思想的人,才能在心灵的世界里呼风唤雨。
Tempesttossed souls, wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live, know this in the o cean of life the isles of blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding master; he does but sleep; wake him. Selfcontrol is strength; right thought is mastery; calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!"
经历过暴风雨洗礼的人们,无论你们身在何方,无论你们处境如何,你们都要知道,在生活的海洋中,幸福的岛屿在对你微笑;照耀你理想的阳光就在前方。要牢牢握住思想之舵。在你的灵魂深处,有一个指引你方向的主宰者,他可能还在沉睡,唤醒他吧。自我控制是力量,正确的思想是优势,沉着冷静是能量。要时常对你的心灵说:“平和,安静!”
