joy in living comes from,having fine emotions篇一:Joy in living comes from having fine

Joy in living comes from having fine emotions,

trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird

in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed

as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask.

People who have this joy don not need to talk about

it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy

and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other

lives as naturally as bird sings.

We can never get it by working for it directly.

It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming

at something higher. It is a byproduct of great,

simple living. The joy of living comes from what

we put into living, not from what we seek to get

from it. 生活之乐趣来源于良好的情绪,信赖这些情绪,并任由它们如同鸟儿高翔于天空般地自由自在。生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的,也无法用戴上一张面具来伪装。 拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴边,他们自然会焕发出快乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中,也将这样的快乐自然而然地感染着他人,犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。 直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们,它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人们。生活过得高雅、简单便会产生出乐趣。它是我

们对生活的投入,而非所求。

Tucked away in our subconsciousness is an idyllic 我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans 诗般的风光!我们仿佛身处一次横the continent. We are travelling by train. Out the 贯大陆的漫漫旅程之中!乘着火车,windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on 我们领略着窗外流动的景色:附近nearby highways, of children waving on a

当司马迁受以宫刑之后,是自信使他将《史记》这一鸿图大作写了出来。如果没有自信,就不会有一本完整的《史记》留于人世,司马迁也不可能成为一个伟人。

没有自信,刘邦也不可能成就大业,建立汉朝。没有自信,刘邦可能只是一位小小的亭长,而不会是后来的汉高祖。

……

回望昨天,历史因自信而创造了伟人。回首今日,自信依然为我们铸造着新的伟人。

可是,伟人是伟人,我们是我们。

当我们遇到一丁点的学习困难时,我们可曾想过挑战自己吗?当我们遇到挫折时,我们可曾想过历史上的伟人遭受的挫折比我们多?

伟人不一定是我们要达到的目标,可是伟人身上的自信却是我们必须学习的。自信是我们成功的基础。如果失败是成功之母,那么自信就是成功的基石。

我们都拥有美丽的梦想,然而梦想的实现是需要自信作为阶梯的。自信可以使我们实现梦想,而挑战自我更是自信的源泉,如果我们拥有自信,那么成功通过挑战自我是有望得到的。

Once upon a time, the pilgrims took the may flower ship to north america. they started a new life there although a lot of difficulties and hardships they encountered. after a long-time work, they got a big harvest. the pilgrims had a feast in 1621 near plymouth, massachusetts, which is often referred to as the first thanksgiving. people show their sincere gratitude towards the god, the nature, the earth, the river, the indians and themselves. moreover the 1621 feast has become a model for the thanksgiving celebration in the united states. so we can see gratitude is an action to take.

How can we express our gratitude? it’s never a simple question to answer. gratitude is a rare jewel, not a piece of cake, i know. but how can we expect such big events happening now and then? how can we be ready to say thank you ahead of time? how can we always hope to be grateful to everything and everyone for their dignity and generosity? sometimes i may ask to myself. is it moral? is it honest? is it beneficial? is it necessary? or the most

A good companion is better than a fortune, for a fortune cannot purchase those elements of character which make companionship a blessing. The best

companion is one who is wiser and better than ourselves, for we are inspired by his wisdom and virtue to nobler deeds. Greater wisdom and goodness than we possess lifts us higher mentally and morally. “A man is known by the companion he keeps.” It is always true. Companionship of a high order is

powerful to develop character. Character makes character in the associations of life faster than anything else. Purity begets purity, like begets like; and this fact makes the choice of companion in early life more important even than that of teachers and guardians

咸咖啡

He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were after her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised. So as not to appear rude, she went along.

他在一次晚会上遇见了她。她很迷人,有很多男孩子追求,但是却没有任何人注意到他。晚会结束后,他请她出去喝咖啡,这让她很吃惊。出于礼貌,她去了。

As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, "Could you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."

他们坐在一家幽雅的咖啡店里。他紧张得说不出话来,而她也感到很拘束。突然,他叫来服务生,说道:“给我在咖啡里加点盐,好吗?”

They stared at him. He turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. Curious, she asked, "Why salt with coffee?" He explained, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea ... I could feel its taste salty, like salty coffee. Now every time I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents, who are still there."

她和服务生都看着他。他脸红了,盐端上来了,他往咖啡里放了一些,喝了起来。她好奇地问:“为什么在咖啡里放盐呢?”他解释说:“小时候,我住在海边,喜欢在那里玩耍……海水是咸的,就像这杯咸咖啡。每次喝咖啡时,我就想起了童年和家乡。我怀念这种味道,想念那里的父母亲。”

She was deeply touched. A man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and care about his family. He must be responsible.

她被深深地感动了。一个有思乡情结的男人一定很爱家,很关心家人。他一定是值得信赖的。

She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start to their love story.

于是,她也谈起了遥远的家乡,她的童年和家人。他们的爱情故事就这样拉开了帷幕。

They continued to date. She found that he met all her requirements. He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. And to think she would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee!

之后,他们常常约会。她发现他宽容、善良、热情而细心,这些正符合她的标准。她想,若不是那杯咸咖啡,她或许就错过了他。

So they married and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.

最后,他们结婚了,幸福地生活在一起。每每给他冲咖啡时,她总会放些盐,因为他喜欢喝咸咖啡。

After 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said: 40年后,他去世了,留了一封信给她,信中的内容是这样的:

My dearest, please forgive my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous I asked for salt instead of sugar.

亲爱的,请原谅我——有一个谎言,我隐瞒了你整整一生。还记得我们的第一次约会吗?我很紧张,原想要糖,却说成了盐。

It was hard for me to ask for a change, so I just went ahead. I never thought that we would hit it off. Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would ruin everything.

再改过来很难,我只好将错就错。我从未想过要喝咸咖啡。许多次,我都想告诉你真相,但又担心说出来一切会化为泡影。

Sweetheart, I don't exactly like salty coffee. But as it mattered so much to you, I've learnt to enjoy it. Having you with me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again, even if it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.

亲爱的,我并不喜欢喝咸咖啡,但你很在乎这个,我已经学着接受它了。与你在一起是我一生最大的幸福。倘若我能重生,我希望还能和你在一起,即使这意味着余生都要喝咸咖啡,我也心甘情愿。

抱怨之前

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, "If I could only see the world, I would marry you."

从前有一个盲姑娘,她非常恨自己双目失明。她恨所有的人,但她亲爱的男朋友除外,因为无论什么时候,他都在她身边。她对男朋友说:“如果我能获得光明,我就嫁给你。”

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

有一天,有人给她捐了一双眼。等绷带解开后,她什么都可以看见了,这也包括了她的男朋友。

He asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to

marry him.

他问:“现在你可以看到这个世界了,你会嫁给我吗?”那个女孩子看着自己的男友,看到他是双目失明的。但他双眼紧闭的样子让她很意外,这是她之前没有料想到的。想到余生都要看着这紧闭的双眼,她拒绝嫁给他。

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: Take good care of my eyes, dear. I'll always love you.

她的男朋友流着眼泪走了。几天后,他给她写了一张纸条:亲爱的,好好珍惜我的双眼。我会永远爱你。

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations. Life is a gift.

当我们的身份变了之后,我们的思想也通常会发生变化。只有很少人会记得以前的生活是什么样子,在最痛苦的时候又是谁陪在他们的身边。生活是一份礼物。

Today before you say an unkind word—Think of someone who can't speak. 今天,在你就要说出不善之语之前——想一下那些无法开口说话的人。

Before you complain about the taste of your food—Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

在你抱怨食物味道不如意之前——想想那些没有东西吃的人。

Today before you complain about life—Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

今天,在你打算因为生活状况而发牢骚的时候——想想那些过早离开了人世的人。

Before whining about the distance you drive—Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

在你为驾驶距离不满的时候——想想那些要用双脚走完同样距离的人。

And when you are tired and complain about your job—Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

在你疲惫不堪,抱怨自己的工作的时候——想想那些失业者、残疾人,还有那些想获得你那份工作的人。

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down—Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.

在你情绪低落,一蹶不振的时候——要面带笑容,然后这样想:你活着,还活得好好的。

珍视爱的光彩

I looked at my beautiful Christmas tree and sighed. It was time. The New Year was a week old and my tree still stood in the corner of our room with its collection of memories proudly displayed in a shower of colorful lights. I'd procrastinated long enough.

我望着我的美丽圣诞树叹了口气,是时候该把树收起来了。新年已经过了一个星期,而我的圣诞树依然挺立在我们房间的角落里,在缤纷的彩灯光辉中骄傲地展示着它珍藏其中的种种回忆。(对于收起圣诞树)我已经拖了很长时间了。

I got up, went to the garage and hauled all the boxes into the room. The garland was the first to come down. The tree looked naked already. I took the large ornaments off next. They made a large pile on our bed. An hour later, our bed was covered with Christmas memories. Each pile contained an ornament along with its matching brothers and sisters from sets purchased many years ago.

我起身去了车库,把所有的盒子都拖进了房间。花环首先被摘了下来,圣诞树看上去就显得光秃秃的了,然后我又把大的装饰物拿了下来,它们在我们的床上堆了很大一堆。一小时后,我们的床上堆满了圣诞回忆。每一堆都包含着一件多年前购买的装饰物以及与之相配套的其他装饰品。

I prepared the boxes and carefully placed ornaments in their protective packaging, pausing every few minutes to admir a favorite. "Hey, little Santa!" I held the Santa from my childhood. "Thanks for being my friend for almost fifty years." He was a little ragged but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories. —Until next year, my dear friend." 我准备好盒子并把这些装饰物小心地放进包装袋内,每过几分钟就会停下来欣赏一件我最爱的饰品。“嗨,小圣诞老人!”我拿着自童年起就陪伴我的圣诞老人,“谢谢你和我做了将近50年的朋友。”圣诞老人有一点破旧了,但仍然带给我如潮般的美好回忆,“明年再见啦,我亲爱的朋友。”

joy in living comes from,having fine emotions篇七:英语诗

Love’s Witness

Slight unpremeditated Words are borne

By every common Wind into the Air;

Carelessly utter’d, die as soon as born,

And in one instant give both Hope and Fear:

Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind

According to the Caprice of the Mind.

But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses,

Substantial Records to Eternity;

Just Evidences,who the Truth confess,

On which the Lover safely may rely;

They’re serious Thoughts, digested and resolv’d;

And last, when Words are into Clouds devolv’d.

爱情的见证

不加思索的轻率话语,

被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气;

随便说说,刚出口即消失,

一瞬间给人希望和恐惧:

同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠,

追随心灵无常的遐想。

但情书则是恒常的见证,

直至永恒的实体记录;

公道的证物,它道出真诚,

恋人能在其上安心依附;

它们是严肃的思想,经过深思熟虑;

当话语在云外消失,它们还将延续。

Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy don not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.

We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.

by A.T. Rowe

生活之乐趣来源于良好的情绪,信赖这些情绪,并任由它们如同鸟儿高翔于天空般地自由自在。

生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的,也无法用戴上一张面具来伪装。 拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴边,他们自然会焕发出快乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中,也将这样的快乐自然而然地感染着他人,犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。

直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们,它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人们。生活过得高雅、简单便会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入,而非所求。

by Thom Gunn

The snail pushes through a green

night, for the grass is heavy

with water and meets over

the bright path he makes, where rain

has darkened the earth's dark. He

moves in a wood of desire,

pale antlers barely stirring

as he hunts. I cannot tell

what power is at work, drenched there

with purpose, knowing nothing.

What is a snail's fury? All

I think is that if later

I parted the blades above

the tunnel and saw the thin

trail of broken white across

litter, I would never have

imagined the slow passion

to that deliberate progress.

蜗牛感怀

蜗牛用触角推进墨绿色的

夜晚,因为草叶上湿漉漉

沾满水珠,耷拉着交织在

它推出的明亮小径,雨在上面

使大地的昏暗更加昏暗。它

在欲望之林中缓缓蠕动。

它捕食时,苍白的触角

几乎不动。我无法说出

什么力量起作用,在那里

浸透于百思不解的思绪中。

蜗牛的愤懑何在?我仅仅

这样遐想:即使稍后一些时候

我拨开蜗牛爬过的路上的叶片,

但见它留下的细细痕迹

粘着破碎的白色微粒,穿过

垃圾碎屑,那我也难以想像

伴随它从容前进的

徐迟缓慢的激情。

On His Being Arrived to the Age of Twenty-Three

by John Milton

How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth,

Stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!

My hasting days fly on with full career,

But my late spring no bud or blossom shew'th.

Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth

That I to manhood am arrived so near;

And inward ripeness doth much less appear,

That some more timely-happy spirits endu'th.

Yet, be it less or more, or soon or slow,

It shall be still in strictest measure even

To that same lot, however mean or high,

Toward which Time leads me, and the will of Heaven;

All is, if I have grace to use it so,

As ever in my great Task-Master's eye.

满二十三周岁

时间啊,这窃取青春的巧贼,竟这样

迅速地用双翅运走了我的二十三岁,

我的逝水年华匆匆地过去,

但我的暮春却不曾开花结蕾;

我的面貌也许还不够苍老,

但是我确已接近成人的年岁,

我的内心更显得不够成熟,

远不如那些早立业的同辈;

但不管我成熟迟早,或快或慢,

这和我既定的命运——那时间与天意

要领我达到的命运无论是(贵贱)——

仍然会严格符合,不爽毫厘。

只要我好自为之,一切都还是

在我的严厉主人监督的眼里。

注:这首十四行诗可能是弥尔顿在1631年12月9日周岁生日当天或在1632年早些时候写的。他在1632年7月获剑桥大学硕士学位前夕就准备放弃他原先打算进入教会的初衷,因此他的一位朋友试图对他进行规劝。弥尔顿给他的朋友写了一封信作为回答,并在信中附上这首十四行诗。

MOTHER, let us imagine we are travelling, and passing through a strange and dangerous country.

妈妈,让我们想象我们正在旅行,经过一个陌生而危险的国土。

You are riding in a palanquin and I am trotting by you on a red horse.

你坐在一顶轿子里,我骑着一匹红马,在你旁边跑着。

It is evening and the sun goes down. The waste of Joradighi lies wan and grey before us. The land is desolate and barren. 是黄昏的时候,太阳已经下山了。约拉地希的荒地疲乏而灰暗地展开在我们面前,大地是凄凉而荒芜的。

You are frightened and thinking--"I know not where we have come to."

你害怕了,想道——“我不知道我们到了什么地方了。”

I say to you, "Mother, do not be afraid."

我对你说道:“妈妈,不要害怕。”

The meadow is prickly with spiky grass, and through it runs a narrow broken path.

草地上刺蓬蓬地长着针尖似的草,一条狭而崎岖的小道通过这块草地。

There are no cattle to be seen in the wide field; they have gone to their village stalls.

在这片广大的地面上看不见一只牛;它们已经回到它们村里的牛棚去了。

It grows dark and dim on the land and sky, and we cannot tell where we are going.

天色黑了下来,大地和天空都显得朦朦胧胧的,而我们不能说出我们正走向什么所在。

Suddenly you call me and ask me in a whisper, "What light is that near the bank?"

突然间,你叫我,悄悄地问我道:“靠近河岸的是什么火光呀?”

Just then there bursts out a fearful yell, and figures come running towards us.

正在那个时候,一阵可怕的呐喊声爆发了,好些人影子向我们跑过来。

You sit crouched in your palanquin and repeat the names of the gods in prayer.

你蹲坐在你的轿子里,嘴里反复地祷念着神的名字。

The bearers, shaking in terror, hide themselves in the thorny bush.

轿夫们,怕得发抖,躲藏在荆棘丛中。

I shout to you, "Don't be afraid, mother. I am here."

我向你喊道:“不要害怕,妈妈,有我在这里。”

With long sticks in their hands and hair all wild about their heads, they come nearer and nearer.

他们手里执着长棒,头发披散着,越走越近了。

I shout, "Have a care! you villains! One step more and you are dead men."

我喊道:“要当心!你们这些坏蛋!再向前走一步,你们就要送命了。”

They give another terrible yell and rush forward.

他们又发出一阵可怕的呐喊声,向前冲过来。

You clutch my hand and say, "Dear boy, for heaven's sake, keep away from them."

你抓住我的手,说道:“好孩子,看在上天面上,躲开他们罢。”

I say, "Mother, just you watch me."

我说道:“妈妈,你瞧我的。”

Then I spur my horse for a wild gallop, and my sword and buckler clash against each other.

于是我刺策着我的马匹,猛奔过去,我的剑和盾彼此碰着作响。

The fight becomes so fearful, mother, that it would give you a cold shudder could you see it from your palanquin. 这一场战斗是那么激烈,妈妈,如果你从轿子里看得见的话,你一定会发冷战的。

Many of them fly, and a great number are cut to pieces.

他们之中,许多人逃走了,还有好些人被砍杀了。

I know you are thinking, sitting all by yourself, that your boy must be dead by this time.

我知道你那时独自坐在那里,心里正在想着,你的孩子这时候一定已经死了。

But I come to you all stained with blood, and say, "Mother, the fight is over now."

但是我跑到你的跟前,浑身溅满了鲜血,说道:“妈妈,现在战争已经结束了。”

You come out and kiss me, pressing me to your heart, and you say to yourself,

你从轿子里走出来,吻着我,把我搂在你的心头,你自言自语地说道:

"I don't know what I should do if I hadn't my boy to escort me."

“如果我没有我的孩子护送我,我简直不知道怎么办才好。”

A thousand useless things happen day after day, and why couldn't such a thing come true by chance? 一千件无聊的事天天在发生,为什么这样一件事不能够偶然实现呢?

It would be like a story in a book.

这很像一本书里的一个故事。

My brother would say, "Is it possible? I always thought he was so delicate!"

我的哥哥要说道:“这是可能的事么?我老是在想,他是那么嫩弱呢!”

Our village people would all say in amazement, "Was it not lucky that the boy was with his mother?"

我们村里的人们都要惊讶地说道:“这孩子正和他妈妈在一起,这不是很幸运么?”

人生是什么

莱斯特 E 加勒特

吕志鲁译

人生是什么?

细细品岁月:

春有雨丝阵阵,

夏有阳光热烈,

秋有绚丽色彩,

冬有飘飘飞雪。

人生是什么?

放眼看世界:

老幼笑声爽朗,

希望之火不灭;

祝愿充满寰宇,

福佑遍布原野。

人生是什么?

自身找感觉:

是欢乐,是领悟,

是灵魂深处的音乐。

The Music Within

Lester E.Garrett

Life...What is it?

See it in the colors of autumn,

A gentle snowfall in winter,

A sudden shower in spring,

The radiance of a summer day.

Behold it in the laughter Of the young and the old.

Know of it in a surge of hope,

The blessings that are bountiful.

What is life?

It is joy,awareness,

And the music within.

joy in living comes from,having fine emotions篇九:英文美文

三、Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy don not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.

We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher.

It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.

七、Now is the Best Time to be Happy

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are grown up.

After that, we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act toghther, when we get a nicer car, and are able to go on a nice vacation. Or when we retire.

The truth is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with him, and remember that time waits for no one. So, stop waiting.

There is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

So, work like you don’t need money; love like you’ve never been hurt; and dance like no one’s watching. 我们安慰自己,生活会随着结婚,有了一两个孩子而更加美满。然而,孩子尚小时,他们会把我们弄得焦头烂额,只有当我们长大后我们才能感到心满意足。

之后,我们又会对十几岁孩子的问题感到束手无策。只有当他们走过这一时期,我们才会确实幸福愉快。我们告诉自己,当爱人始终如一地给予我们支持,当我们获得了漂亮的汽车,能够进行一次愉快的旅行,或者当我们退休后,那时的生活才称得上完美。

事实上,没有比“现在“更令人幸福的时光。如果不是“现在”,又会是何时呢?最好接受人生充满挑战这一事实,并决定无论怎样都要让自己快乐。

幸福是一段旅程。因此,要珍爱你拥有的每刻,更要珍视那些与你分享时光的特别之人,谨记,岁月不待人。

所以,切勿等待。

人生中没有比现在更快乐的时光。

幸福是一段旅程,而非目的地。

因此,投入地去工作,让人觉得你并不需要钱财;倾心地去爱,让人觉得你不曾被伤害过;旁若无人地尽情去舞吧!

八、A Young Flower In The Desert

There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking... It was growing by itself... enjoying every day... and saying to the sun "When shall I be grown up?" And the sun would say "Be patient - Each time I touch you, you grow a little..." She was so pleased. Because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand... And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world.

遍地干旱、满目悲凉的沙漠中有朵小花,她独自生长在那里,享受着每一天„„她问太阳公公“我什么时候才能长大?”太阳公公总是说“要有耐心-- 我每次抚摸你,你都会长大一点„„”小花好开心啊,因为她也有机会为沙漠的一隅增添美丽了„„这是她毕生的心愿-- 为这个世界增添一丝美丽。

One day the hunter came by - and stepped on her. - She was going to die - and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying - but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.

一天,一位猎人经过--正好踩在她身上―― 她快要死了-- 她感到如此悲伤。并不是因为她即将死去,而是因为再没有机会为沙漠增添一丝美丽了。

The great spirit saw her, and was listening. - Indeed, he said... She should be living... And he reached down and touched her - and gave her life.

伟大的精神看到了她,并且听到了她的心里话。„„事实上,他在说„„她应该活着„„他俯下身,抚摸着她-- 给了她生命。

And she grew up to be a beautiful flower... and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her. 她长成一朵美丽的花„„由于她的存在,这沙漠的一隅变得如此美丽。

十、Go Easy and Enjoy Yourself in Harmony

To go on a journey is often worrisome, but so long as one lives he proceeds on his life's journey. Different people go along differently.

行路难,然人生在世难免走一遭。唯行迹各异也。

Some take hasty steps inanxiety. Obsessed with reaching the next goal in time, they spare no time for sight-seeing along the way, nor do they have a clear view where their long roads end.

有赶路者,心急功利,步履匆匆,一心只顾向前,忽略周遭美景,焉知路迢迢何处是终途。

Others travel leisurely like tourists. They would take time off now and then for a look at blooming flowers or fallen petals. They would stop to admire clouds gathering and dispersing.

有如游客者,闲情逸致,悠然自得,时走时停,观花开花落,赏云卷云舒。

Even when they go against the wind or are caught in the rain, they never get annoyed, for worries slip off their minds as if from an open net.

虽屡遭风雨,开怀依旧,心若丝网,滤尽烦忧。

Cramped is one's workplace. Narrow is one's residence and small is the social circle one moves about—such limitedness in space entail lack of variety which is the source of some people' s complaint.

蜗居陋室,门庭冷落,无人问津,沉如止水,斯忧思之源也。

But a person is always able to find peace and comfort if he takes things as they are.

然顺其自然,随遇而安,总能聊以慰藉,怡然自得。

Compared with the vastness of the universe, it is only a tiny spot one occupies on earth.

比环宇之浩渺,人诚若沧海一粟。

However, though larger than the ocean is the sky, even larger is the human mind, for in it imagination would come and go on the wing without limitations.

然纵使苍穹阔于汪洋,尤为博大者人之心胸也。盖人之思绪驰骋万里而无疆也。

One may eventually win what he has set his mind to, only to find that he has lost quite a lot. Perhaps what he loses is even better than what he gains.

人或费尽周章而得其所欲,然所失者众,至得不偿失矣。

On one's journey of life some people hurry on with a heavy heart in pursuit of fameand wealth while others go easy and enjoy themselves in harmony with nature.

人生在世,苦心孤诣,机关算尽为名利者有之;回归自然,飘逸而行,返璞归真者有之。

joy in living comes from,having fine emotions篇十:英语美文

The Joy of Living

Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy do not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.

直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们,它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人们。生活

过得高雅、简单便会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入,而非所求。

The Road to Success

It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.

Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is “aim high”. I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, “My place is at the top.” Be king in your dreams.

And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.

The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere. “Don‟t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong. I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.

To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm‟s interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says, “no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves.”

成功之道

年轻人创业之初,应该从最底层干起,这是件好事。匹兹保有很多商业巨头,在他们创业之初,都肩负过“重任”:他们以扫帚相伴,以打扫办公室的方式度过了他们商业生涯中最初的时光。我注意到我们现在办公室里都有工友,于是年轻人就不幸错过了商业教育中这个有益的环节。如果碰巧哪天上午专职扫地的工友没有来,某个具有未来合伙人气质的年轻人会毫不犹豫地试着拿起扫帚。在必要时新来的员工扫扫地也无妨,不会因为而有什么损失。我自己就曾经扫过地。

假如你已经被录用,并且有了一个良好的开端,我对你的建议是:要志存高远。一个年轻人,如果不把自己想象成一家大公司未来的老板或者是合伙人,那我会对他不屑一顾。不论职位有多高,你的内心都不要满足于做一个总管,领班或者总经理。要对自己说:我要迈向顶尖!要做就做你梦想中的国王!

成功的首要条件和最大秘诀就是:把你的精力,思想和资本全都集中在你正从事的事业上。一旦开始从事某种职业,就要下定决心在那一领域闯出一片天地来;做这一行的领导人物,采纳每一点改进之心,采用最优良的设备,对专业知识熟稔于心。

一些公司的失败就在于他们分散了资金,因为这就意味着分散了他们的精力。他们向这方面投资,又向那方面投资;在这里投资,在那里投资,到处都投资。“不要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里”的说法大错特错。我要对你说:“把所有的鸡蛋都放在一个篮子里,然后小心地看好那个篮子。”看看你周围,你会注意到:这么做的人其实很少失败。看管和携带一个篮子并不太难。人们总是试图提很多篮子,所以才打破这个国家的大部分鸡蛋。提三个篮子的人,必须把一个顶在头上,而这个篮子很可能倒下来,把他自己绊倒。美国商人的一个缺点就是不够专注。

把我的话归纳一下:要志存高远;不要出入酒吧;要滴酒不沾,或要喝也只在用餐时喝少许;不要做投机买卖;不要寅吃卯粮;要把公司的利益当作自己的利益;取消订货的目的永远是为了挽救货主;要专注;要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里,然后小心地看好它;要量入为出;最后,要有耐心,正如爱默生所言,“谁都无法阻止你最终成功,除非你自己承认自己失败。”

What I have Lived for 我为何而生 Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at last---I have found.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.

Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always it brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.

This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

我为何而生 我的一生被三种简单却又无比强烈的激情所控制:对爱的渴望,对知识的探索和对人类苦难难以抑制的屿。这些激情像狂风,把我恣情吹向四方,掠过苦痛的大海,迫使我濒临绝望的边缘。

我寻求爱,首先因为它使我心为之着迷,这种难以名状的美妙迷醉使我愿意用所有的余生去换取哪怕几个小时这样的幸福。我寻求爱,还因为它能缓解我心理上的孤独中,我感觉心灵的战栗,仿如站在世界的边缘而面前是冰冷,无底的死亡深渊。我寻求爱,因为在我所目睹的结合中,我仿佛看到了圣贤与诗人们所向往的天堂之景。这就是我所寻找的,虽然对人的一生而言似乎有些遥不可及,但至少是我用尽一生所领悟到的。

我用同样的激情去寻求知识。我希望能理解人类的心灵,希望能够知道群星闪烁的缘由。我试图领悟毕达哥拉斯所景仰的“数即万物”的思想。我已经悟出了其中的一点点道理,尽管并不是很多。

爱和知识,用它们的力量把人引向天堂。但是同情却总把人又拽回到尘世中来。痛苦的呼喊声回荡在我的内心。饥饿的孩子,受压迫的难民,贫穷和痛苦的世界,都是对人类所憧憬的美好生活的无情嘲弄。我渴望能够减少邪恶,但是我无能为力,我也难逃其折磨。 这就是我的一生。我已经找到它的价值。而且如果有机会,我很愿意能再活它一次。
