给年轻朋友的一封信Letter to a Young Friend
My dear friend
亲爱的朋友
I know of no Medicine fit to diminish the violent natural inclination you mention; and if I did, I think I should not communicate it to you. Marriage is the proper Remedy. It is the most natural State of man, and therefore the state in which you will find solid Happiness.Your Reason against entering into it at present appears to be not well founded. The Circumstantial Advantages you have in view by Postponing it, are not only uncertain, but they are small in comparison with the Thing itself, the being married and settled. It is the Man and Woman united that makes the complete human Being, Separate she wants his force of Body and Strength of Reason; he her Softness, Sensibility and acute Discernment. Together they are most likely to succeed in the World. A single man has not nearly the value he would have in that State of Union. He is an incomplete Animal.He resembles the odd Half of a Pair of Scissors.
我知道没有药物能够消除你们所提到的那种疯狂的自然倾向;即使我知道,我想我也不该告诉你.婚姻是适当的药物。它是人类最本能的状态, 因此是一种最幸福的生活状态。你拒绝现在进入婚姻殿堂的理由显的不够充分.你认为推迟婚姻可能存在好处,不仅不一定实现,而且,那些利益跟婚姻本身以及婚后的安定相比起来就微不足道了。男人和女人只有联合起来才能组成完整的人.女人缺乏男人的力量和周密的推理,而男人缺乏女人的温柔、感性和敏锐的洞察力。因此当男人和女人联合起来。就能够无往不胜。单身和离婚生活的男男女女不可能具有婚姻生活中的价值,是一种不完善的动物。他简直好比半把剪刀--孤掌难鸣。
If you get a prudent, health wife, your Industry in your Profession, with her good Economy, will be a Fortune sufficient.
如果你拥有一位健康而谨慎的妻子,你的辛勤工作,加上她的勤俭节约,必定会创造充足的财富。
Your Affectionate Friend
您真挚的朋友
坦诚Frankness
You must study to be frank with the world:frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do, on every occasion. If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You would wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.
在世间必须学会以真诚示人:率真乃是诚实与勇敢之子。无论在何种场合,都应该道出自己的真实想法。如果朋友对你有所求,对于合情合理之请,应该欣然同意;不然,应该明明白白地告诉朋友拒绝的理由。任何模棱两可的话语将会让别人误解,也会使自己蒙受冤屈。
Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one. The man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased at a sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with all your classmates. You will find it the policy which wears best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not.
千万不要为了结交朋友或者挽留友情而做错一事。对你有这种要求的人也会付出沉重的代价。与同学真心相对,绝不背叛。你将发现这是最有效用的准则。总之,要以真实面目示人。
If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain. There is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to do one thing before a man's face and another behind his back. We should say and do nothing to the injury of any one. It is not only a matter of principle, but also the path of peace and hornor.
如果发现某人身有瑕疵,直接告诉他你的意见,而不是诉之他人。人前一套,背后又是一套,没有什么比这更加危机四伏。任何有损他人的言语或者事情我们都应该避免。这不仅是一种做人的原则,而且也是通向平和的人际关系、获得他人尊敬之道。
墓园沉思Thoughts in a grave yard
When I look upon the tombs of the great, every emotion of envy dies in me; when I read the epitaphs of the beautiful, even inordinate desire goes out; when I meet with the grief of parents upon a tombstone, my heart melts with compassion; when I see the tomb of the parents of themselves, I consider the vanity of grieving for those who deposed them, when I consider rival wits placed side by side, or the holy men that divided the world with their contests and disputes, I reflect with sorrow and astonishment on the little competitions, factions, and debates of mankind. When I read the several dates of the tombs, of some that died yesterday, and some six hunderd years ago, I consider that great when we shall all of us be contemporaries, and make our appearance together.
当我瞻仰伟人的坟墓,心中所有的嫉妒顿时烟消云散;当我读到伟人的悼文,所有的非分之想顷刻消失殆尽;当我遇见在墓碑旁悲痛欲绝的父母亲,我的心中也满怀同情;当我看到那些父母亲自己的坟墓,我不禁感慨:既然我们很快都要追随逝者的脚步,悲伤又有何用。当我看到国王与那些将他们废黜的人躺在一起,当我想到那些争斗一生的智者,或是那些通过竞争和争执将世界分裂的圣人们被后人并排葬在一起,我对人类的那些微不足道的竞争、内讧和争论感到震惊和悲伤。当我看到一些坟墓上的日期,有的死于昨日,而有的死于六百年前,我不禁想到,有那么一天我们都会在同一个时代同时出现在世人眼前。

There are basically two ways to get work done.
完成工作通常有两种基本方式。
One is to work individually. In this way, people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it. What's more, they will be able to learn how to solve problems on their own and how to think independently.
一种是独立完成,通过这种方法,人们可以自己决定什么时候开始,怎么去做。更主要的是可以学习如何解决问题和如何独立思考。
People may also choose to work in a team, where they can learn from each other and help each other. Besides, they may work out better ways to get work done by discussion. They can truly learn the skills of cooperation and how to get through the ideas to their mates.
大家也可以选择在一个团队里工作,这样大家可以相互学习,相互帮助。并且,他们可以通过讨论找到更好更快的完成工作的方法。他们可以真正的学会和和获大家的思维观点。
Personally, I prefer to work in a team, which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them. As the work can be divided among several people, it can be done efficiently. Teamwork is always important.
我个人而言,比较喜欢在一个团队里工作,这样可以给我提供一个和别人一块相处的机会并且可以互相分享经验。当一个工作需要分给几个人共同完成,肯定做的非常好,团队合作是非常重要的。
Chinese women's volleyball team once achieved great honor in the last century, their spirit of never giving up inspired so many people. But during the last decade, as the old volleyball players retired and the new ones were not stronger enough, the team met difficulty. While winning an important match announced their return.
中国女排曾经在上个世纪取得了极大的荣誉,她们永不放弃的精神激励了很多人。但在过去的十年中,由于老一代排球运动员退役了和新人还不够强,团队遇到了困难。然而在赢得了一场重要的比赛后,女排宣布了她们的回归。
Last night, Chinese women's volleyball team had an very impotant match against Brazil team in the Rio olympic games. The hope to win was very very little, because Brazil team was such strong, they were the champion of last two olympic games and Chinese team only won one match for the last 18 records. What's more, almost all the audiences supported Brazil team.
昨晚, 在里约热内卢奥运会,中国女排有一场很重要的比赛,对阵巴西女排。赢的几率非常小,因为巴西女排很强,她们两届奥运会的冠军,中国队只赢了一场比赛在过去的18场记录中。更重要的是,几乎所有的观众都支持巴西队。
It seemed to win the match was not possible for the Chinese team, but the girls were very strong and insistented to fight for the last mimute. Even they lost the first game, they never gave up. Especially for the last two point, they were so brave and finally won the match.
似乎中国队赢得比赛是不可能的,但是女孩们都非常强大,坚持争取到最后一刻。即使她们输了第一局比赛,但是她们从不放弃。特别是最后两个赛点,她们勇敢,最后赢得了比赛。
This is the spirit of women's volleyball team, we saw these girls fight for the last minute, they are the best team.
这是女排的精神,我们看到这些女孩争取最后到一分钟,她们是最好的团队。

Taobao, EBay and Alibaba, through many courier companies. As we all known, online shopping has many advantages. Firstly, online shopping is more convenient than traditional means. We can find a shop with so many goods that we may favor, while all these just need clicking our mouse and typing-in the key word of what we want to find. And it also saves our a great some of time. Secondly, more choices than real store are another attraction to customers. Online shopping can provide mass
EBay和阿里巴巴,淘宝通过许多快递公司。我们都知道,网上购物有很多好处。首先,网上购物比传统方法更方便。我们可以找到一个商店,里面有很多商品,我们可以支持,而所有这些只需要点击鼠标和输入的关键词我们想要找到的东西。同时也节省了一些时间。其次,更多的选择比真正的商店是另一个吸引顾客。网上购物可以提供质量
information about products which can be suit for customer's needs, tastes, and preferences. Thirdly, as without traditional warehouses and retail shops, online shopping has can make us gain lower costs and prices. However, in spite of its advantages, we can't turn a blind eye to its disadvantages. Obviously, quality problem is its first disadvantage. Customers always buy fake commodities which are not described as online shops. In addition, it's troublesome and annoying for us to make a change when they are not satisfied with what we bought online. The second disadvantage is security issues. When we shop online, we need pay for the commodities by electronic payments, but hackers can invade our computers and steal our information, this is not safe for online shopping.
信息产品可以满足客户的需求,品味,和偏好。第三,没有传统仓库和零售商店,网上购物可以让我们获得更低的成本和价格。然而,尽管它的优点,我们不能视而不见缺点。显然,质量问题是第一个劣势。客户总是买假冒伪劣商品不描述为在线商店。此外,我们的麻烦和讨厌的改变当他们不满意我们网上购买。第二个缺点是安全问题。当我们网上购物的时候,我们需要支付商品的电子支付,但黑客入侵我们的电脑和窃取我们的信息,这是对网上购物不安全。

第二篇Companionship of Books 以书为伴(节选) A man may usually be known by the books he reads aswell as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as wellas of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be ofbooks or of men. A good book may be among the best of friends. It isthe same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the mostpatient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in timesof adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusingand instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age. Men often discover their affinity to each other by themutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover afriend by the admirationwhich both entertain for athird. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there ismore wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higherbond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other throughtheir favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them. A good book is often the best urn of a life enshriningthe best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for themost part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries ofgood words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become ourconstant companions and comforters. Books possess an essence of immortality. They are byfar the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, butbooks survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as freshtoday as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. Whatwas then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from theprinted page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products;for nothing in literature can long survive e but what is really good. Books introduce us into the best society; they bringus into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear whatthey said and did; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize withthem, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and wefeel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which theydescribe.The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed (铭记于心)in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. Itis an intellect to which on still listens.通常看一个读些什么书就可知道他的为人,就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一样,因为有人以人为伴,也有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友,我们都应该以最好的为伴。好书就像是你最好的朋友。它始终不渝,过去如此,现在如此,将来也永远不变。它是最有耐心,最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们穷愁潦倒,临危遭难时,它也不会抛弃我们,对我们总是一如既往地亲切。在我们年轻时,好书陶冶我们的性情,增长我们的知识;到我们年老时,它又给我们以慰藉和勉励。人们常常因为喜欢同一本书而结为知已,就像有时两个人因为敬慕同一个人而成为朋友一样。有句古谚说道:“爱屋及屋。”其实“爱我及书”这句话蕴涵更多的哲理。书是更为真诚而高尚的情谊纽带。人们可以通过共同喜爱的作家沟通思想,交流感情,彼此息息相通,并与自己喜欢的作家思想相通,情感相融。好书常如最精美的宝器,珍藏着人生的思想的精华,因为人生的境界主要就在于其思想的境界。因此,最好的书是金玉良言和崇高思想的宝库,这些良言和思想若铭记于心并多加珍视,就会成为我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰藉。书籍具有不朽的本质,是为人类努力创造的最为持久的成果。寺庙会倒坍,神像会朽烂,而书却经久长存。对于伟大的思想来说,时间是无关紧要的。多年前初次闪现于作者脑海的伟大思想今日依然清新如故。时间惟一的作用是淘汰不好的作品,因为只有真正的佳作才能经世长存。书籍介绍我们与最优秀的人为伍,使我们置身于历代伟人巨匠之间,如闻其声,如观其行,如见其人,同他们情感交融,悲喜与共,感同身受。我们觉得自己仿佛在作者所描绘的舞台上和他们一起粉墨登场。即使在人世间,伟大杰出的人物也永生不来。他们的精神被载入书册,传于四海。书是人生至今仍在聆听的智慧之声,永远充满着活力。 ·第四篇:If I Rest,I Rust 如果我休息,我就会生锈If I Rest, I Rust The significant inscription found on an old key---“IfI rest, I rust”---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted withthe slightest(半点) bit of idleness. Even themost industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminderthat, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key,they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work requiredof them. Those who would attain the heights reached and kept bygreat men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they mayunlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to theprofessions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department ofhuman endeavor. Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasuryof achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry(采石场矿产),had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become afamous geologist. The celebrated(著名的) mathematician, Edmund Stone,would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the keyto science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, hadthe little Scotch lad(小伙子), Ferguson, allowed the busybrain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead ofcalculating the position of the stars by a string of beads(珠子),he would never have become a famous astronomer. Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, orill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward awell-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of nobleand enduring success.·第四篇:如果我休息,我就会生锈在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息,我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说,这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示:如果一个人有才能而不用,就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样,这些才能就会很快生锈,并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就,他们就必须不断运用自身才能,以便开启知识的大门,即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门,这些领域包括各种职业:科学,艺术,文学,农业等。勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休·米勒在采石场劳作一天后,晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话,他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家爱德蒙·斯通如果闲暇时无所事事,就不会出版数学词典,也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时,让他那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态,而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置,他就不会成为著名的天文学家。劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的,间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动,而是坚定的,不懈的,方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样,要想取得伟大的,持久的成功,就必须坚持不懈地努力。·第五篇:Ambition 抱负Ambition It is not difficult to imagine a world short ofambition. It would probably be a kinder world: with out demands, withoutabrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Suchwork as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity.Competition would never enter in. conflict would be eliminated, tension becomea thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would nolonger be troubling, but purely celebratory欢乐的in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die ofheart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct.Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart. Ah, how unrelieved未减轻的boring life would be! There is a strong view that holds that success is amyth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does notreally exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men andwomen are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events nownot all success, obviously, is worth esteeming(尊重),nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is somethingone soon enough learns on one’s own. But even the most cynical secretly admitthat success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that thetrue myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believeotherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging.(打乱)It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, interest inattainment, and regard for posterity(子孙). We do not choose to be born. We do not choose ourparents. We do not choose our historical epoch新纪元,the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. Wedo not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions ofour death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how weshall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purposeor in drift. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decidethat what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do.But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions,these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as wedecide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destinyis what ambition is about.我们来决定什么使我们有意义,通过我们做什么或者我们拒绝做什么,但是不管这个世界对我们的选择与决定多么漠视,这些选择与决定的掌握权始终在我们手里。一个缺乏抱负的世界将会怎样,这不难想象。或许,这将是一个更为友善的世界:没有渴求,没有磨擦,没有失望。人们将有时间进行反思。他们所从事的工作将不是为了他们自身,而是为了整个集体。竞争永远不会介入;冲突将被消除。人们的紧张关系将成为过往云烟。创造的重压将得以终结。艺术将不再惹人费神,其功能将纯粹为了庆典。人的寿命将会更长,因为由激烈拼争引起的心脏病和中风所导致的死亡将越来越少。焦虑将会消失。时光流逝,抱负却早已远离人心。 啊,长此以往人生将变得多么乏味无聊! 有一种盛行的观点认为,成功是一种神话,因此抱负亦属虚幻。这是不是说实际上并不丰在成功?成就本身就是一场空?与诸多运动和事件的力量相比,男男女女的努力显得微不足?显然,并非所有的成功都值得景仰,也并非所有的抱负都值得追求。对值得和不值得的选择,一个人自然而然很快就能学会。但即使是最为愤世嫉俗的人暗地里也承认,成功确实存在,成就的意义举足轻重,而把世上男男女女的所作所为说成是徒劳无功才是真正的无稽之谈。认为成功不存在的观点很可能造成混乱。这种观点的本意是一笔勾销所有提高能力的动机,求取业绩的兴趣和对子孙后代的关注。 我们无法选择出生,无法选择父母,无法选择出生的历史时期与国家,或是成长的周遭环境。我们大多数人都无法选择死亡,无法选择死亡的时间或条件。但是在这些无法选择之中,我们的确可以选择自己的生活方式:是勇敢无畏还是胆小怯懦,是光明磊落还是厚颜无耻,是目标坚定还是随波逐流。我们决定生活中哪些至关重要,哪些微不足道。我们决定,用以显示我们自身重要性的,不是我们做了什么,就是我们拒绝做些什么。但是不论世界对我们所做的选择和决定有多么漠不关心,这些选择和决定终究是我们自己做出的。我们决定,我们选择。而当我们决定和选择时,我们的生活便得以形成。最终构筑我们命运的就是抱负之所在。
