Reading is a happy thing. For those who love reading, once they read it, they can't stop, they can't give up reading, they want to read to the ends of the world. Some people say: "the deepest and most peaceful happiness Calm down, open the book, the deposition of ink a little bit over the space, those dusty happiness a little bit open. Reading is really fun.
读书是一件快乐的事情。对于爱读书的人一但读上就让人欲罢不能，无法放弃读书，想让人读到天涯海角。有人说：“人生最深最平和的快乐，就是静观天地与人生，慢慢品味出它的和谐与美。”静下心来，翻开书本，那些沉积的墨香一点点溢满空间，那些尘封的快乐一点点打开。读书真的很快乐。
Goethe once said, "to read a good book is to talk to a noble man." Yes, reading good books is like making good teachers and friends, which benefits me a lot; Reading good books is like bathing in the warm spring breeze, Reading good books is like finding the source of happiness, which makes me understand the true meaning of happiness.
歌德以前说过：“读一本好书，就是和一位高尚的人谈话。”是的，读好书，就像结交了良师益友，使我受益匪浅；读好书，就像沐浴在温暖的春风里，使我心旷神怡；读好书，就像找到了快乐之源，使我领悟到快乐的真谛。

Life is picturesque, there are thick ink splashing, there are light pen light description; Life is like a song, there are light chanting and shallow singing, there are also Huang zhongdalu. You don't see the life of Li Taibai and Du Gongbu. They have created the greatness of life; Pei Duofei, Shelley's life, light pen light description, finally write the true meaning of life.
生命如画，有浓墨泼洒，也有淡笔轻描；生命如歌，有轻吟浅唱，也有黄钟大吕。君不见李太白、杜工部之一生，浓墨泼洒，铸就生命之伟大；裴多菲、雪莱之一生，淡笔轻描终写尽生命之真谛。
You can't see Tao Yuanming's "picking chrysanthemums under the East fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan" and Tan Sitong's "I smile from the horizontal knife to the sky, leaving my liver and gall in Kunlun".
君不见轻音浅唱之陶渊明“采菊东篱下，悠然见南山”，高歌猛进之谭嗣同“我自横刀向天笑，去留肝胆两昆仑”。

Spirit is a monument, a cornerstone, a beacon on the way forward, and a yardstick for a brilliant life. With modesty, rich and talented, Confucius slowly chanted that "if three people walk, there must be a teacher." he was not ashamed to ask questions, and eventually became a generation of Confucian masters.
精神是一座丰碑，是一块基石，是前进道路上的灯塔，是灿烂人生的标尺。有了谦虚，学富五车、才高八斗的孔子缓缓吟出“三人行，必有我师”，不耻下问，终成一代儒学大师。
With tolerance, ambition and high spirited, Duke Huan of Qi abandoned his personal feud, appointed people on the basis of merit, achieved great achievements for thousands of years, and finally never threw away the Han envoys' festival in his hand. He cared for his motherland and eventually became a patriotic model for thousands of years.
有了宽容，雄心勃勃、意气风发的齐桓公摈弃私仇，任人唯贤，成就千秋伟业，终成一代霸主；有了坚贞，寂寞忧愁、孤寂郁愤的苏武始终不扔掉手中的汉使族节，心系祖国，终成千秋爱国楷模；有了奉献，善良质朴、平凡无闻的徐虎才能够十年如一日，情洒百姓，温暖万家，终成当今的“活雷锋”。
Spirit, through the tunnel of history, across the long river of history, will forever support the towering and spectacular building of life.
精神，穿越历史隧道，趟过历史长河，将永久撑起人生巍峨壮观的大厦。

Night, like ink drops on the canvas of the sky, permeates and faints. With a few strokes of the brush, there are stars. With a few strokes, the soft moonlight will shoot into your heart.
夜，如墨般滴在天空的画布上，渗透、晕开，用画笔轻点几下，便有了星辰，再描上几下，柔和的月光将射进你的心房。
The firefly's light is as warm as the stars. The cricket took out his violin and played a beautiful waltz with the breeze.
萤火虫的光足以媲美点点繁星，却要温暖几分。蟋蟀拿出小提琴，与微风合作，演奏出一曲优美的圆舞曲。
The stream is flowing slowly, like the conveyor belt of time, passing by a little bit. Flowers even at night will also send out fragrance, the fish in the pool spit bubbles, bubbles are curtain after curtain of dreams. The sky began to rain, one by one, bright to the extreme, beautiful and sad, as if that is the sky tears.
溪水缓缓地流着，像时间的输送带，一点点流逝。花朵就算在夜晚也会散发芳香，池里的鱼儿吐着泡泡，泡泡里是一帘又一帘的美梦。天边下起了雨，一颗又一颗，明亮至极，秀丽且悲伤，仿佛那就是天空的眼泪。
Gently pull the curtain, is afraid to disturb that quiet; Lie down gently for fear of waking the sleeping stars; Gently cover the quilt, is afraid to break the sweet country autumn dream.
轻轻拉上窗帘，是怕惊扰那份宁静；轻轻地躺下，是怕吵醒那些熟睡的星星；轻轻地盖上被子，是怕打破那甜美的乡下秋梦。

Human life is a chain. There will always be children younger than you and old people older than you. Each of us has his own position. It is a financial report that no one can take away.
人的生命是一根链条，永久有比你年轻的孩子和比你年迈的老人。我们每个人都有自己的位置，它是一宗谁也掠不去的财报。
Don't worry about when you are young or old. As long as we live a day, the wealth of youth glitters. There is only one dark night that can cover its light, that is, you think you are old.
不要计较，何时年轻，何时年老。只要我们生存一天，青春的财富就闪闪发光。能够遮蔽它的光芒的暗夜只有一种，那就是你自以为已经衰老。

英语美文 信念的力量 信心之所以有着不可思议的强大力量,因为它们对我们的生命就像方向舵对轮船一样,控制着我们的方向和命运。我们并不总是像自己表白的那样去生活,而是一直都生活在我们的信念里。简单地说,如果我相信我是一个失败者,我就注定会是一个失败者。如果我相信我会成功,我就会成功。Born in 1758, Horatio nelson, the son of a pastor, was a small, frail1 child who loved sailing. As a young teenager he joined the British Navy and, while journeying to the East Indies, caught a fever that seriously damaged his health. But he never allowed this to hold him back. At age 18, he was appointed a lieutenant2 in the Royal Navy and by the year 1802 was made commander-in-chief. Two years later, at the battle of Trafalgar, Nelson defeated the combined3 French and Spanish fleets4. This was the greatest naval victory in British history and left British in control of the seas for the rest of the 1800's. Unfortunately, Nelson was mortally injured but lived long enough to know that his fleet had won the battle. His last words were, "Thank God I have done my duty."Nelson was a man of fearless courage and devotion. He believed in his country, in his cause, and in himself. He once said, "I am of the opinion5 that the boldest measures are the safest." Nelson was a man greatly admired by others who said about him, "His frail body housed6 a great spirit." One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who only have interest. Beliefs are remarkably powerful in that they are to our lives what a rudder7 is to a ship. That is, they control the direction and destiny of our lives. While we don't always live the life we profess8, we always live the life we believe. Simply put, if I believe I am a failure, I will set myself up to fail. If I believe I am a successful person, I will succeed, and so on. One very successful woman, a well-known entertainer, didn't have much going for her. She would never win a beauty contest and at age 38 was living on welfare. After reading Claude Briston's The Magic of Believing and beginning to believe in herself, her life took a dramatic turn. One gift she had was the ability to make people laugh. Once she believed this, she didn't allow what she didn't have to stop her using what she did have. Jimmie Durante was another entertainer who wouldn't have made a fortune with his looks. But he capitalized on9 his weakness and turned it into one of his great strengths -- what he did have -- and put these to good use because he believed he could. 英语短故事 Lovely become so lost 让失去变得可爱An old man in a high－speed trains， accidentally bought the new shoes out from a window， surrounded by people who feel sorry But the elderly immediately second shoe from the window go away． This move is even more surprised． Explained that the elderly： "This shoe， no matter how expensive， for me has been useless， if there is who can pick up a pair of shoes， maybe he can wear it！"一个老人在高速行驶的火车上，不小心把刚买的新鞋从窗口掉了一只，周围的人倍感惋惜，不料老人立即把第二只鞋也从窗口扔了下去。这举动更让人大吃一惊。老人解释说：“这一只鞋无论多么昂贵，对我而言已经没有用了，如果有谁能捡到一双鞋子，说不定他还能穿呢！”英语美文欣赏：沙子与石头The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.话说两个好朋友正在穿越一个沙漠。途中他们忽然争吵了起来，其中一个一巴掌扇在另外一个人的脸上。The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face."被扇的那个人受了伤害，但他一句话也没有说，只是在沙子上写道：“今天我最要好的朋友打了我一个耳光。”They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.他们继续走下去，后来发现了一片绿洲，他们于是决定洗个澡。先前被打的那个人这时不小心陷入了一个泥潭里面，差点被淹死了，幸运的是他的朋友把他给救了出来。After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "Today my best friend saved my life."他苏醒过来后，立刻在一块石头上写道：“今天我最要好的朋友救了我一命。”The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?"扇过他耳光又救过他性命的朋友于是问他说：“我打了你之后你在沙子上写字，而现在你却在石头上写，为什么呢？”The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in the sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in a stone where no wind can ever erase it."写字的那个人回答说：“当我们被别人伤害了之后，我们应该把它写在沙子上，那样，宽容的风就很快就会将其抹去，但当我们受到别人的帮助之后，我们必须将它刻在石头上，那样，风就不会轻易把它磨灭。”Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in the stone.学会将你所受到的伤害写在沙子上，把别人给你的帮助记在石头上。They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.人们常说发掘一个特别的人需要一分钟，欣赏一个人需要一个小时，爱上一个人需要一整天，但忘记一个人却需要你一生的时间。Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget.

美文欣赏：我决定从此过上幸福的生活
It was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: "And they lived happily ever after." As I looked over to her with her wavy, brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. It dawned on me then that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to "live happily ever after."
很多年前我还是个年轻的爸爸，坐在沙发上给小女儿讲童话故事。她坐在我身边，头枕在我胳膊上听我讲故事。故事的最后我用那句经典的话作结束语：“从此他们过上了幸福的生活。”我看着她，她有着卷曲的棕色头发和大大的、天真的眼睛，我能从她的脸上看到微笑，我希望能永远这样看着她。那时我明白了故事的结尾也是我对她的期望，我希望她“从此过上幸福的生活。”
Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.
然而内心深处我知道现实并非总能如我所愿。我知道有时她会伤心;我知道有时她会伤心地哭泣，而我却不能给她安慰;我知道有时她只会感到恐惧、伤心、懊悔和绝望。我抚摸着她的头发，对她微笑，我希望那些时刻都能很快过去，希望她的生活中更多的是快乐，然而，从此过上幸福生活似乎是不可能的。
It took me a lot of years to realize that it IS possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it "one day at a time." Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something dependent on what life hands you. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.
很多年以后我才意识到从此过上幸福生活是可以实现的。你只需要“认真过好每一天”。你看到的幸福并非你人生旅程最终的奖励，幸福不是取决于生活赐予你什么，而是你日复一日通过一个个选择在生活中创造出来的。
The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to "live happily ever after, one day at a time."
事实是幸福就是付出爱时的体验，爱是上帝恩赐的礼物。只有爱才能修复受伤的心灵;只有爱才能抚平伤痛;只有爱才能给我们带来快乐。选择“从此过上幸福的生活，过好每一天。”
美文欣赏：想逃离现在的生活追寻自由
Have you ever gone on vacation and said to yourself, “I could live here?” On a trip to Jamaica, Kalisa Martin entertained that idea —and actually went through with it.
你是否曾经旅行过并告诉你自己：“我能住在这里”?在去牙买加的一次旅途中，卡丽萨·马汀思考了这个想法——也事实上将它完成了。
It was during a lingering and nasty New York City winter in March 2014. Martin and her boyfriend Jeff Belizaire decided to escape the snow by taking a last-minute getaway to Jamaica.
那是在2014年三月纽约市一个漫长而恶劣的冬季期间。马汀和她的男朋友杰夫·贝利泽尔突发奇想决定马上跑去牙买加躲避雪天。
At the time, Martin had a dream job in the New York culinary world: brand director at Tasting Table, a digital destination for culinary enthusiasts. She also appeared on national television shows like Good Morning America.
在那时，马汀在纽约的烹饪界有着一份理想的工作：Tasting Table的品牌主理人，这是一家美食热爱者的线上聚集地。她同时也在国家电视节目如《早安美国》中出现过。
But there was something about that trip that spoke to Martin — profoundly.
但是，有关那趟旅程的什么东西深深地印在了马汀的内心。
“That long weekend, the idea of the B&B concept came up and we thought, ‘Why not?’It could happen, and it could happen right here in Jamaica,”said 30-year-old Martin. “That was the first time we seriously considered the idea.”
“在那个漫长的周末里，“床加早餐”理念(一种旅店形式)的想法蹦了出来，我们想着‘为什么不呢?’那是有可能发生的，而且有可能就发生在这儿，在牙买加，”30岁的马汀说道。“那是我们第一次认真考虑这个想法。”
Within four months Martin had quit her job and was on her way to Jamaica with Belizaire to create The Runaway, a bed-and-breakfast that has grown into a lifestyle travel brand.
在四个月里，马汀辞了职，并和贝利泽尔踏上了去牙买加创造The Runaway的道路，一个有着“床加早餐”理念的想法开始成为一个生活方式旅游品牌。
“We ran away from the cold and the typical 9-5 to follow our dreams and create this new life,”says Martin.
“我们从寒冷与典型的朝九晚五中逃离出来追寻我们的梦，并创造了这个全新的生活，”马汀说。
And this isn’t your average bed-and-breakfast. The Runaway Jamaica is the first successfully funded B&B on Kickstarter. Backers donated almost $47,000 to help bring the property to life.
这也并非只是典型的“床加早餐”。The Runaway Jamaica是第一家成功在Kickstarter上得到资助的“床加早餐”理念的品牌。支持者们捐献了将近47000美元来帮助它成为现实。
美文欣赏：这就是信仰的力量
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。
Bible Text: When you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you. Matthew 6:6
《圣经》原文：祈祷时要去房间里，关上门向无形的上帝祈祷，上帝看见你在秘密祈祷，就会回报给你。马太福音6:6
