I have visited plenty of self improvement blogs and inspirational blogs these past few months and most of them all tell you that you need to wake up and state positive affirmations. When you wake up, you need to think that something great is going to happen today, and that you are going to have a great day. This positive energy is supposed to attract more positivity throughout your day.
在最近几个月我访问了不少有关自我提升和自我激励的博客。其中大部分都是告诉你要清醒并保持乐观积极的状态。在你醒来的时候,你需要想着美好的事情即将发生,这将会让你拥有非常棒的一天。正能量会在这一天中贯穿累积。
So this morning I woke up and decided to give it a whirl. The sun was shining bright through my bedroom window blinds, and it immediately gave me this warm feeling inside.
所以今天一早我醒来就想着照着博客内容试试吧。从窗帘后面透进来的阳光明媚耀眼,让我即刻感到这中间的暖意。
I thought to myself, "today is going to be a great day. One of the best days ever!".
我想着,今天一定会好,它将会是迄今为止的一天。
I got out of bed, took my morning shower and began to get dressed. I put on a pair of dress pants I have not warn in a while, followed by my dress shirt and that is when it began.
我从床上起来,洗了个澡,然后开始穿衣。我穿上了一条西装裤,没有在意里面有什么,接着穿上了衬衫,发现有点不对劲了。
I reached into my left pocket and pulled out what felt like some paper.
我摸到左边的裤子口袋,拿出了类似纸张的东西。
You know that feeling of finding a $20 bill in your pants and it feels like free money? Because you forgot all about it and assumed you never did?
你了解那种从裤子口袋里面找到20美金的感觉么?因为完全忘了就感觉从来就不是你的。
I pulled out a $100 bill and a $50 bill in the same pocket. Yes, $150 to start off my day that I forgot I had. It was one of the best feelings and I'm sure if someone could have seen the smile on my face they would have understood.
在同一个口袋中我拿出了一张100美金和一张50美金。这种感觉不能更好了,如果你能看到我此刻脸上的笑容你就会了解那种感觉。
I literally yelled in joy, with my poor puppy looking at me like I was crazy!
我忘乎所以的大笑起来,我可怜的小狗就这么看着我的疯样。
Moral of the story, start your morning off thinking you are going to have the best day ever and you just might! I wonder what will happen next :)
这个故事告诉你,暗示自己今天会是最棒的一天,那就会如你所愿。我期待着接着将会发生什么:)
【篇二】有关初中英语口语短文
Mother Teresa of Calcutta was often quoted as saying: "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much." Over the years I have found myself often feeling the same way. I have had a blessed life, but it has never been an easy one.
加尔各答的特蕾莎修女有句经常被引用的话:“我知道上帝不会给我无法完成的事情,我只希望他不要那么信任我。”在过去的几十年中我也有同样的感受,生活虽然蒙福,但却不易。
In my 45 years I have had to deal with sickness, injuries, accidents, and pain. I have had to deal with years of poverty and financial struggles. I have had to deal with my sons' mental handicaps, the death of loved ones, and being separated from those I love. I have had to deal with anger, betrayal, confusion, depression and at times even despair.
在45年的岁月中我经历了疾病、伤害、事故、痛苦。除了连年的贫困和经济上的窘迫,我还要只顾上智力有障碍的儿子,与所爱之人天人永隔、被迫分离。还要面对悲愤、背叛、困惑、压抑甚至还有时不时的绝望。
Like so many before me I have asked the question: Why do bad things happen to good people? It is a question that has been asked throughout the ages. Books have even been written about it.
像许多前人一样,我也不禁要问:“为什么好人要遭受这么多的劫难?”这个问题被追问已久,书上也没有答案。
When I remember all that I have faced and gone through in this life, I realize that God has used all of it to eventually make me better. With pain came empathy. With grief came healing. With frustration came patience.
当我回忆起此生所经历的那些事情,我顿悟到原来上帝这么做是为了最终让我们成为更好的人。痛苦带来同理之心,悲哀带来救助之心,挫折带来静候之心。
With struggles came strength. With sorrow came joy. With anger came love. And with despair came trust in God. Every test, challenge, and tragedy eventually led me to greater goodness, greater love, and greater Oneness with our Heavenly Father.
化悲愤为力量,苦尽甘来,因恨生爱。绝望中相信上帝的救赎。每一关、每一个挑战,每一个悲剧在上帝的指引下让我更仁慈、博爱,成为更好的人。
None of us likes the negative experiences in life. None of us enjoys pain. None of us wants to go through sorrow. May each day here then help you to grow better and more loving.
没有人喜欢负面经历,也没有人喜欢痛苦,跟没有人喜欢历经悲伤。愿每天你都能成为更好的自己,更懂得爱。

When Spring cleaning season arrived this year I decided that it was time to get rid of more than just a Winter's worth of dust and dirt. I decided that it was the time to get rid of years worth of accumulated stuff as well. This stuff was lining my walls, filling my shelves, and crowding my closets.
又到了今年的春日清洁季,我想着需要清洁的不止是一个冬天的污垢尘霾,还有多年累积的杂物。这些杂物有的靠着墙,有的在架子上,还有的在我拥挤的衣橱。
This stuff was cluttering my home and my mind and not bringing me one bit of happiness. I couldn't even remember how I got some of it, but I knew I wanted it gone.
家里的东西乱成一团,想到这我一点都高兴不起来。我都想不起来是什么时候有的,现在我只想让它们快点消失。
It turned out to be an even bigger job than I thought. Twenty year old bills and receipts were tossed in the trash. File cabinets were cleaned of papers that were no longer necessary or needed.
清理它们比我想象的要工程浩大。二十年内的帐单发票、文件夹中用不上的废纸,统统丢进垃圾箱。
Broken bowls, dented pans, and cracked knickknacks were finally thrown away. Unworn clothes were hauled out of the closet and bagged up to be given away to the local Goodwill.
破掉的碗、变形的平底锅、有裂缝的小摆件都扔掉了。从衣柜整理出不穿的衣物,打包捐给当地的慈善机构。
Old books were boxed up to be passed on for others to read and enjoy. It took several days to get it all done,but in the end I was able to walk through a home that seemed a little less cluttered. My heart was a lot lighter too. It felt so good to be able to get rid of all the junk and to just focus on the essential stuff in life again.
旧书入箱传递给别人悦读。我花了好几天的时候才把这些事情都办妥。当我在家中巡视感觉没那么乱了,心情也较之前释然不少,丢弃无用之物,把心思放在重要的事情上,让人怡然自得。
What is the essential stuff? What is the stuff that brings meaning to our days? A loving heart is essential. A joyful spirit is essential. A soul full of goodness and God is essential.
什么是重要的事情?这些事情对我们要度过的每一天有什么意义?有一颗仁爱之心非常重要。有一个积极向上的灵魂非常重要。心存善念和上帝非常重要。
And a lifefull of sharing all of these things is absolutely essential. The essential stuff can't be bought, sold, or stored. It can only be chosen, created, and given away. The essential stuff is the stuff we all really want. It is the stuff we all really need.
懂得施予也有其重要。真正重要的事情不可以买卖或者存储。它们只可以被选择、被创造、被放弃。真正重要的东西是我们想要且需要的。

口语是语言存在的基本形式,是在日常交际的情况下所使用的语言。随着中国外贸的迅速发展,当今国际贸易活动日益频繁,对英语尤其是英语口语的要求越来越高。我整理了英语口语文章短文,欢迎阅读!
As we slowly drove down the street on that cold December evening we spotted the porch light. "This must be the house." I told our "Positive Teens In Action" group. We pulled up in front of an older home with the porch light glowing. We gathered up our song books, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door. We heard a faint voice from inside say, “Come on in. The door is open." We opened the door.
在那个寒冷的12月份的夜晚我们开车在路上慢慢行驶时看到了门廊的灯光,我跟我们这个“积极行动的青年小队”说:“一定就是这家了。”我们把车停在一栋旧房子前,门廊灯光很亮。我们拿出歌集,走上台阶敲了敲门,听到里面传来一个虚弱的声音:“进来吧,门开着呢”,我们推开了门。
There in a rocking chair sat an elderly woman with a big smile on her face. "I've been expecting you." she said weakly. Ruth was one of our Meals On Wheels stops I had arranged; along with the usual church members who enjoyed carolers. We handed Ruth the basket of goodies the teens had assembled earlier that evening. Then I asked Ruth what carols she would like to hear. Ruth's face was beaming as she joined in singing each song.
摇椅上坐着一位老太太,脸上带着灿烂的笑容,她虚弱地说:“我一直盼着你们来。”Ruth的家是我安排的上门送餐服务的一站,和我们一起来的还有喜欢唱圣歌的常去教堂的人。我们递给Ruth一篮子美味的食物,都是我们这些年轻人那天晚上提前装好的。然后我问Ruth她想听什么圣诞颂歌,她跟着唱每首歌时脸上都洋溢着笑容。
As we hugged Ruth good-bye she said to me with tears glistening in her eyes, “The day you called I was still in bed. I had just finished praying. I asked God if it would be possible to have some Christmas Carolers come to my home and sing this year. Thank you for being the answer to my Christmas prayer."
我们跟Ruth拥抱说再见时,她眼睛里闪着泪光对我说:“你打电话那天我还躺在床上,刚刚做完祷告,我问上帝今年能否让唱圣诞颂歌的人来我家唱颂歌。感谢你使我梦想成真。”
Wow, what an awesome experience to have the opportunity to be the answer to someone's Christmas prayer.
哇哦,能使别人的祷告得以实现是多棒的一次经历呀。
Change is considerably easier when you have a full complement of supporting partners and unlimited resources. But, since very often it is the shock of a death, divorce or some other life tragedy that unceremoniously tosses us out of our comfort zone to fend for ourselves, it can mean being forced to strike out alone which for many of us is the scariest part of all.
当你有很多合作伙伴和无尽的资源时,改变就更容易发生了。但是,由于这种变化往往是来自于身边的人去世的打击、离婚或是其他的一些人生悲剧,而且这些变化又毫无征兆地将我们赶出了自己的舒适圈,使我们不得不自己照顾自己,所以这样的变化也意味着我们要被迫独自面对很多事情,这也是很多人最害怕的事情。
Probably the most difficult thing about pursuing significant change is doing it when you don’t have the knowledge, financial or emotional tools available to make the process go smoothly.
也许,在进行显著改变时遇到的最困难的事情,就是即便对相关知识一无所知,也缺少财务支持或情感工具,却还是要顺利完成。
However, as difficult as it can be, sometimes reaching our full potential means working without a net. Or, as Tony Robbins says, "If you want to take the island, burn the f’ing boats!"
然而,不管有多难,有时想要达到我们潜能的极限,其实只需在工作时摆脱网络的束缚。换言之,正如托尼• 罗宾斯所说,“如果你想去岛上,就烧了这些该死的船!”
For those truly dedicated to their mission, having fewer resources and no backup or fallback plan can be a surprising blessing as it forces you to get creative and forge new paths.
而对于那些真正致力于完成自己使命的人来说,缺少资源、备份或应急计划都会被看作是一个意外之礼,因为这促使你变得更具创造力,懂得另辟蹊径。
I don’t know if it’s possible to leave this world with zero regrets. Because of the natural life cycles and the fact that sometimes it’s the tragedy that causes our awakenings we often have our epiphanies too late to avoid certain painful outcomes.
我不知道是否有可能在离开这个世界时不留任何遗憾。因为自然生命周期有限,也只有悲剧结局,才能让我们清醒,这使我们时常顿悟得太晚,以致于无法避免那些令人痛苦的结局。
However, it is indefensible to can claim ignorance to the possible ramifications of continued inaction. The choice belongs to each and every one of us. We all have the power to change both our thoughts and behavior thereby giving more intentional direction to the remainder of our lives.
然而,把持续的无作为所导致的后果归因为无知是站不住脚的。选择权在我们每一个人手中。我们都可以改变自己的思想和行为,去为之后的生活确立更明确的方向。
I Paid For A Young Woman's Groceries
我为一个女孩买了杂货
I was in line at Trader Joe's and the young woman in front of me had her card declined, she embarrassedly handed the cashier another card, which was also declined and then a final card that was approved for just $.
我在乔氏超市连锁店排着队,排在我前面女孩的银行卡因为余额不足被退回了,于是她不好意思地递给收银员另一张卡,但还是因为同样的理由被退回了,最后她又拿出了一张卡,但余额显示只有美元。
She asked the cashier to cancel the transaction. The cashier motions for manager. I smile and offer to pay the balance, which was $20 something dollars.
无奈之下,她只能让收银员取消交易。收银员示意了经理。我微笑了一下,然后帮女孩付了余款。
The woman was very thankful, the cashier was happy.
女孩很感激,收银员看到这一幕感到非常欣喜。
On my way out the manager handed me a bouquet of mixed flowers. He didn't say anything, just held the flowers out to me.
就在我走出超市时,经理递给了我一束花。但他什么也没说,只是把花递给了我。
I saw he was overcomed with emotion. I suspected that if he opened his mouth he would start to cry. I accepted the flowers with thanks and walked out feeling that, for just a few moments, the world had become a better place.
我看得出他是在克制情绪。我甚至怀疑他一旦张开嘴巴就会开始哭起来。我收下了花,并向他道谢。在我走出超市的那一刻,感觉世界都美好了起来。
