生命之坚持
Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.
The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives. Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days, because days enshrined in memory are never lost. Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quiet hour in the sun.
一些人坚持认为只有今日与明日最重要。可要按这条规则来生活的话,我们将会变得更加可怜。今天我们所做之事有多少是琐碎无功的,很快就被人遗忘.又有多少我们明天要为之事将会成为泡影。 过去是一所银行。我们将最可贵的财富——记忆珍藏其中,这些记忆赋予我们生命的意义和厚度。真正珍惜过去之人不会为美好时光逝去而哀叹。那些珍藏于记忆的时光是永远不会消失的。死亡本身也无法止住记忆中的声音,或擦除记忆中的微笑。对于已经长大成人的小男孩来说,那儿将会有一个池塘。它不会因时间和潮汐而改变,可以让他大继续在阳光下享受静谧的时光。
读书之乐
Reading is a pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something; they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you "ought" to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time--and if you become as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't have suffered during the process.
读书是愉悦心智之事。在这一点上它与运动颇为相似:一个优秀的读者必须要有热情、有知识、有速度。读书之乐并非在于作者要告诉你什么,而在于它促使你思考。你跟随作者一起想像,有时你的想象甚至会超越作者的。把自己的体验与作者的相互比较,你会得出相同或者不同的结论。在理解作者想法的同时,也形成了自己的观点。
每一本书都自成体系,就像一家一户的住宅,而图书馆里的藏书好比城市里千家万户的居所。尽管它们都相互独立,但只有相互结合才有意义。家家户户彼此相连,城市与城市彼此相依。相同或相似的思想在不同地方涌现。人类生活中反复的问题也在文学中不断重现,但因时代与作品的差异,答案也各不相同。
如果你希望的话,读书也能充满乐趣。倘若你只读那些别人告诉你该读之书,那么你不太可能有乐趣可言。但如果你放下你不喜欢的书,试着阅读另外一本,直到你找到自己中意的,然后轻轻松松的读下去,差不多一定会乐在其中。而且,当你通过阅读变得更加优秀,更加善良,更加文雅时,阅读便不再是一种折磨。
任教印象
The main impression growing out of twelve years on the faculty of a medical school is that the No.1 health problem in the U.S. today, even more than AIDS or cancer, is that Americans don’t know how to think about health and illness. Our reactions are formed on the terror level.
We fear the worst, expect the worst, thus invite the worst. The result is that we are becoming a nation of weaklings and hypochondriacs, a self-medicating society incapable of
distinguishing between casual, everyday symptoms and those that require professional attention.
Early in life, too, we become seized with the bizarre idea that we are constantly assaulted by invisible monsters called germs, and that we have to be on constant alert to protect ourselves against their fury. Equal emphasis, however, is not given to the presiding fact that our bodies are superbly equipped to deal with the little demons and the best way of forestalling an attack is to maintain a sensible life-style.
在医学院任教十二年来,我获得的主要印象是,当今美国头号健康问题——一个比艾滋病或癌症更为严重的问题——是美国人不知道如何去认识健康与疾病。我们的反应是惊恐万状。我们怕最坏的事,想着最坏的事,而恰恰就召来了最坏的事。结果 ,我们变成了一个孱弱不堪,总疑心自己有病的民族,一个分不清哪些是日常偶发症状,哪些是需要治疗的症状,而自己擅自用药的社会。
我们年轻的时候还染上了一种奇怪的观念:一种肉眼看不见的叫做细菌的小妖怪在不断向我们进攻,我们必须长备不懈地保护自己不受其伤害。然而,对另一个重要事实,我们却未能给予同样的重视,那就是,我们的身体装备精良,足以对付这些小妖怪,而且防止妖怪进攻的最佳途径就是保持合理的生活方式。

一篇优美的英文文章2
滚蛋吧,烦恼!摆脱你的负能量就这么做
Whether you believe in the Law of Attraction, The Secret, the power of positive thinking, or you think positive thinking is a bunch of new age bologna, few can argue with the fact that people simply are happier and feel more optimistic when they have positive thoughts. For those in sales, positive thinking can lead to more creative thinking which can lead to more closed sales.
无论你是否相信吸引力法则,其中的秘诀,积极思考所带来的力量,或你认为积极思考只是新时代的法学思想,但是很少人能否认这个事实:当人们保持积极乐观的态度时,他们就会感到更快乐更积极。对于销售领域的 职场 人来说,保持积极的人生态度能够激发他们产生更有创造力的想法,最终帮助他们签下更多订单。
Knowing how to think positively is as important as wanting to. Here are a few steps to how to be a positive thinker from the business world.
学会如何积极思考与渴望学会积极思考同等重要。想要成为商业场中积思考者,有以下几个步骤:
1.Determine Your Desired Outcome
1. 设定期望结果
The problem with many people is that they really don't know what they want out of life or a particular situation. Take a moment to decide what it really is that you want out of a life event. Clear intentions yield clear results while fuzzy desires yield fuzzy results.
许多人都有这样的问题:并不了解自己在生活中或特定情况下的所需所求。花点时间,想想自己希望从生活事件中获得什么。明确的动机能产生明确的结果,然而模糊不清的欲望只会导致模糊不清的结果。
2.Make A List of Things Your Are Grateful For
2.列举感恩的事情
Tony Robbins, well known life coach and motivational speaker, says that no matter how much money you may have in your accounts, if you are not grateful, you are poor. Gratitude is an amazing emotion in that it is almost impossible to feel negative thoughts when you are focusing on things you are grateful for.
Tonny Robbins是一位有名的人生导师和励志演说家,他认为无论你的银行账户有多少存款,如果你不懂感恩,你就是贫穷的人。感恩的心是一种神奇的情感,因为当你专注于你所感恩的事情时,你几乎不可能有负面的情绪。
If you make a list of 10 things that you are grateful for everyday, you will put yourself in a very positive mind set that will last your entire day.
如果每天你都能列举十件感恩的事情,你就能保持积极的心理状态,并且能一整天都感到精神满满。
3.Learn to Count to 5
3. 学会数到5
Most of us spend our lives reacting to events. How we react is usually governed by how we either learned to react or have reacted to similar events in our past. But simply reacting does not allow any room for creative and targeted thinking.
大多数人用其一生纠结于对事物的反应上。我们的反应通常受到这些因素支配:要么是我们学得的如何给出反应,要么是对过往同类事件所做出的反应。不过仅仅作出反应无法让我们具有创造性和针对性的思考。
Next time you find yourself in a situation that presents a challenge to your decision to be more positive, hold your reaction and count to 5. This brief break will give you the opportunity to decide how you want to respond, instead of simply reacting.
下次当你发现自己正拘泥是否该往积极方面思考的情况时,请先别急着做反应,而应先数5秒钟。这个短暂的停顿能让你决定你所希望的反应方式,而不仅仅是草率反应。
4.Cut Back on the Nightly News
4.减少观看夜间新闻的次数
Whichever nightly news program you prefer, you probably are aware of how much negative news is reported. Expose yourself to an abundance of negativity and, like it or not, you will begin to be more negative.
无论你喜欢何种夜间新闻节目,但你应该都能意识到负面新闻的影响。如果你常常观看大量的负面新闻,不管你喜不喜欢,你都会变得越来越消极。
负面影响就像毒药。你接触的负面影响和消极的人越多,你就会吸收越多负面能量。
Negativity is like a drug. The more you expose yourself to negativity and negative people, the more you adopt negativity into your life.
相反,多去接触积极向上的人和正面影响的事物。如果你真的很想了解世界正在发生的事情,那就浏览网络信息流的标题,而且单单浏览这些 故事 标题还确实能达到你的需求。
Instead, try to surround yourself with positive people and positive exposures. If you absolutely must know what's going on in the world, read the headlines on an Internet news stream and only read those stories that really effect your world.
5.照顾好自己
5.Take Care of Yourself
早已有文献证明了运动的益处,健康饮食和充足睡眠的好处。不过只知道这些好习惯的益处对你来说仍毫无用处,除非你真的行动起来了。
The benefits of exercise, a healthy diet and getting enough sleep have been well documented. But just knowing about all the benefits does nothing for you unless you actually take action.
6.每日行动
6.Daily action
能运动但不运动的人不比不会运动的人有优势。每天的运动,配以健康饮食和充足的休息能让你的人生观产生惊人的变化。当你自我感觉良好,负面的情绪就那么容易影响你了。
Someone who can exercise but who chooses not to is no better off than someone who cannot exercise. Daily exercise, when coupled with a healthy diet and enough rest can do wonders for your outlook. When you feel good, it really takes effort to make yourself feel bad.
7.记录成长的轨迹
7.Track Your Progress
正如任何目标,你努力希望变成目标的那个人,比你完成这个目标本身重要得多。当你变得越来越积极乐观,你就会预测到你拥有“积极专注”的日子与“负面思考”的日子是一样的。除非你能密切关注自己的进步轨迹,甚至你还没有发现随着时间的推移,你将远离负面走向积极。
As with any goal, the person who you become as you progress towards your goal is more important than accomplishing the goal itself. As you move towards being a positive thinker, expect that you will have as many "negative thinking" days as you do "positive focused" days. But unless you keep track of your progress, you may not even realize that the numbers of days are shifting more towards the positive and away from the negative.
你所需要的是:
What You Need:
目标计划表
A list of your goals
一本 日记 本
A journal
希望以更积极的态度生活的决心。
A committment to living a more positive-thought based life.
一篇优美的英文文章3
聪明的人更喜欢独处
Smart people may be far happier with their own company than meeting friends.
对聪明人来说,独处可能比会见朋友更快乐。
A new study has found that for intelligent people, the more frequently they socialise with friends, the less satisfied they are with life.
一项新研究表明,对聪明人来说,他们越是频繁地交朋友,他们对生活会越不满。
Using data from a long-term study, researchers found people living in more densely populated areas reported lower levels of life satisfaction. But, more frequent socialisation with friends had a more positive association with levels of life satisfaction for people with average intelligence.
研究者从长期研究所得的数据中发现:生活在人口稠密区的人有着较低的生活满意度。然而,对智力一般的人来说,更频繁地交朋友与生活满意度水平有着更明确的联系。
The researchers explained that 'among the extremely intelligent' more frequent social interaction is actually linked with reduced satisfaction.
研究者解释道:对“那些特别聪明的人”来说,更频繁的社会互动实际上与减少的满意度有关。
Social interaction would have been crucial to survival, in terms of co-operation and finding a mate, but the space was equally important.
从合作和寻找伴侣的角度来讲,社会互动对生存至关重要,但是空间也同样重要。
The researchers believe smarter individuals may be able to better adapt to the challenges of modern life, and may find it easier to leave ancestral social roots behind in order to forge ahead.
研究者相信聪明人也许能更好地适应现代生活的挑战,也许会发现为了向前发展更容易摒弃祖先的社会根源。
For the most intelligent among us, it may be that there is conflict between aspiring to greater goals and being tied to our evolutionary past.
对我们中最聪明的那些人来说,追求更高的目标与依赖逐步发展的过去之间可能会有冲突。
