优秀的英语散文:升职加薪一定是好事吗?
Is getting a promotion always a good thing?
职位晋升一定是一件好事吗?
It may not be that simple as you think.
事情可能没有你想的那么简单。
Sometimes if it comes when you are not ready, it can be quite a trouble.
有时候，如果你在没有准备好的时候晋升了，可能会碰上不少麻烦。
But first, if you just got a promotion, Congratulations!
不过首先，如果你最近真的升职了，那恭喜你!
After over-delivering on project after project, and exceed ing all your goals that you set with your manager when you started your job, your employer is finally rewarding you with a change in title and an increase in the compensation.
在一个接一个项目超额交付，并且超额完成了所有你开始工作时与上级制定的目标之后，你的雇主终于奖励你了，给了你职级上的升迁，并提高了你的薪水。
You’re exhilarated, but you’re also a little confused. What do you do now?
你很兴奋，但也有点困惑。接下来你要做什么?
First off, start with figuring out what you will no longer take on.
首先，你要弄清楚今后不再做的事情。
Assuming that your promotion comes with more responsibilities, you will probably need to learn how to master your new tasks, and you won’t be able to do that efficiently if you have to do that on top of your old job.
假设升职后你要承担更多责任，你可能需要学习掌握新任务，如果你同时还必须做完所有的旧工作，那么你将无法有效地完成任务。
This requires trusting other people, which can be difficult if you have controlling tendencies.
你需要信任其他人，如果你有控制倾向，这可能很难做到。
The higher you move up, the more you have to depend on others. So start to learn to let go of your micro-managing tendencies, and trust that you’re not the only one who knows how to do everything.
职级越高，你就越需要依靠别人。因此，趁早开始放弃你的微观管理倾向，要知道，你不是唯一知道如何做所有事情的人。
优秀的英语散文:来自陌生人的温暖
I was on vacation in Hawaii with my family. We were at the beach all day and at some point I took off my ring I got as a gift from my mom for graduation (beautiful, gold, inscribed, full of sentimental value) and placed it in the cup holder of a foldable chair. Beach day continues, and we pack up and go home. Once home, I realize what I've done. I realize my ring isn't on my finger. Panic ensues.
我正和家人在夏威夷度假，我们一整天都待在沙滩上。有那么一会儿我把戒指摘了下来，这枚戒指是妈妈送我的毕业礼物(很漂亮的带有花纹的金戒指，其中蕴含了很多情感价值)，我把它放在了折叠椅的杯架上。沙滩上还未日落时我们收拾好东西回家了。一到家我就想起来了，我发现戒指不在手上就慌了。
We race back to the beach with only 20 minutes to spare before sunset. Get to the beach and locate the general area we were laying out earlier.
还有20分钟就日落了，我们奔回海滩。到了海滩，我们找到了白天休息的大概位置。
About 15 strangers in the area got down on their hands and knees to help my sobbing mess self search for my ring. And they helped me to the end. Eventually in a stroke of luck, I find the ring. I stand up and exclaim to the group of kind strangers "I found it". They all crowd around me so happy and congratulatory as though they had stake in this game. My tears of loss turn into tears of joy and thankfulness for the amazing effort put forth by this group of people.
在那儿有大约15个陌生人，他们都趴在地上帮助哭成泪人的我找戒指。他们一直帮我找到最后。最终机缘巧合我找到了戒指。我站起来朝那群善良的陌生人喊：“我找到了。”他们都很开心地围到我身边大声庆贺，好像他们赌赢了这场比赛。我之前因为丢东西而哭，现在变成了因为高兴和感激这群人所付出的努力而哭。
优秀的英语散文：没有努力的动力，应该怎么办
Realize that you have options. There are places even here in the US where people don't have the option of being out of survival mode enough to ponder these issues.
要明白你还有选择如何生活的权利。在美国，有些地方的人们甚至还陷于如何生存下去的水深火热之中，根本没时间考虑其他问题。
If I were you, this is what I’d do: I’d pack a backpack and start traveling for up to a year.
如果我是你，我会打包行李，开始为期一年的旅行。
The beauty of traveling is that, with little effort, it will take you out of your head - new currencies, new foods, new accents and people so you HAVE to pay more attention to everyday things.
旅行的魅力在于，只需要耗费一点点精力，就会让你跳出现有的生活状态，去认识新的货币，接触新奇的食物，不同的口音和人们，于是你就会更多地去关注日常事物。
Whether abroad or in the US, I’d suggest you do some volunteer work. When you don’t know what to do for yourself, go do something for another person (or for animals, the environment, etc…).
无论你去国外还是在美国，我建议你做一些志愿者工作。当你不知道自己要做什么时，那就去为别人(或动物，环境等…)做一些事情。
Besides traveling and volunteering, something else that’s great for when you don’t give a hoot is to read.
除了旅行和志愿者活动，在你对一切不屑一顾的时候，阅读会有益于你。
Read just for reading sake! Not to make you a better person, to get ahead, to pass the time, to be productive. Just find anything or anyone that interests you and read about it.
为了阅读而阅读!读书不是为了成为一个更好的人，而是为了进步，消磨时间或是提高创新思维。只要找任何你感兴趣的人或物去阅读就可以。
Remember you are not the one feeling this sense of helplessness.
你要知道每个人都会有感到无助的时候。
It's ok to fail. I know how bad you feel now. You worked so hard to get into your dream school and you didn't get admitted in the end. It just didn't make any sense. Just let all these emotions out. Cry it out. And let it go.
失败了没关系。我知道你现在有多难过。你如此努力却最终没有被你梦寐以求的学校录取。但现在说这些都没有意义了。让你的情绪宣泄出来。大声哭出来吧。然后让它随风而去。
You are not alone. There are people around you who cares about you. Your parents, friends, siblings. They were always there. Go talk to them and tell them how you feel.
你并没有孤立无援。你身边还有很多关心你的人。比如你的父母，朋友和兄弟姐妹。他们一直都在。试着与他们谈谈心，告诉他们你的感受。
Life is meaningful. Stop whatever you are doing and think about your life. What is important to you? What makes you happy? Or what makes you particularly sad? These are a few places you can start.
生活是有意义的。不管你在做什么，都要停下手中的事去思考你的生活。对你来说什么才是重要的? 什么会使你快乐?或是什么会让你特别伤心?这些都是你可以重新出发的点。
Life's beautiful. It may seem like life’s unfair because you didn't get you wanted after giving up so much. But these failures and setbacks will renew your perspective in life. You realise you didn't really need whatever you're working so hard for. You start to cherish the people and the things around you. Endure the darkness because it shows you the stars.
生活是美好的。有时候你可能会觉得生活待你不公，因为在你放弃很多东西以后依旧没有得到你想要的。但是这些失败和挫折都会刷新你的人生观。你会意识到你所努力争取的并不是你真正想要的。于是你开始懂得珍惜身边的人和事。忍受了黑暗才能看见漫天的繁星星。

优美的英语散文:善良，从来都不是白费的
A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws. A timid little Mouse came upon him unexpectedly , and in her fright and haste to get away, ran across the Lion's nose.

The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But he was generous and finally let the Mouse go.
狮子听了觉得滑稽可笑，想着你这个老鼠怎么可能会帮到我，最后还是没有计较，放它走了。
Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils of a hunter's net. Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring.
几天后，狮子在森林里面寻找猎物的时候。被猎人布下的网困住了。它自己无力挣脱，整个森林充斥着它愤怒地咆哮。
The Mouse knew the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in the net. Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was free.
老鼠认出了狮子的声音，迅速找到了被困的狮子，不停地咬着困住狮子的绳子，直到它松开，狮子终于获得了自由。
"You laughed when I said I would repay you," said the Mouse. "Now you see that even a Mouse can help a Lion."
“我说会报答你的时候，你曾笑话我，现在你看到了吧，哪怕是一只老鼠也是可以帮助一只狮子的。”
A kindness is never wasted.
没有哪个善举是白费的。

There was more clothes, furniture, food, money, and even some books for me to read.

Looking back now I am grateful for all we went through that Summer because it taught me so much about life, love, and people.
现在回忆那个时候，我对我们经历的一切心存感恩，因为它教会了我很多东西，有关人生，有关爱，还有人性。
It showed me that when you have nothing left but love, for the first time you see that love is enough.

"What is the meaning of life?" This is a question that we all ask ourselves at one point or another of our existence here. It is a question that I have asked myself many times over the years.
“生活的意义是什么?”这个问题我们都在某个生命节点问过自己，或者我们为什么存在。这个问题，在过去这些年中，我问过自己无数次。
The best answer that I ever came across was written by the great psychologist , Viktor Frankl who had survived the Nazi Concentration camps in World War II. Frankl wrote that "The meaning of life is to give life meaning.
"我认为最好的答案是来自维克多•弗兰克，他是一个伟大的心理学家，他在二战纳粹集中营里面存活下来。他说，“生命的意义在于赋予它意义。”
