六篇精選美文賞析
篇一讓我們微笑吧
The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worthwhile, that costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
那最能賦予生命價(jià)值、代價(jià)最廉而回報(bào)最多的東西,不過(guò)一個(gè)令人心暢的微笑而已。
The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men, will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the Sun again.
由衷地?zé)釔?ài)同胞的微笑,會(huì)驅(qū)走心頭陰郁的烏云,心底收獲一輪夕陽(yáng)。
It's full of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent; It's worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.
它充滿價(jià)值和美好,混合著堅(jiān)毅的仁愛(ài)之心;它價(jià)值連城卻不花一文。
There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile; It always has the same good look; it's never out of style; It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue;
當(dāng)我們看到喜悅的微笑,憂傷就會(huì)一掃而光;它始終面容姣好,永不落伍;失敗令我們沮喪之時(shí),它鼓勵(lì)我們?cè)俅螄L試;
The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you.It pays the highest interest — for it is merely lent;
鼓勵(lì)的笑靨于你我大有裨益。它支付的利息高昂無(wú)比──只因它是種借貸形式;
It's worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.
它價(jià)值連城卻不花一文。
A smile comes very easy — you can wrinkle up with cheer. A hundred times before you can squeeze out a salty tear. It ripples out, moreover, to the heartstrings that will tug, and always leaves an echo that is very like a hug.
來(lái)一個(gè)微笑很容易──嘴角歡快翹起來(lái),你能百次微笑,可難得擠出一滴淚;它的漣漪深深波及心弦,總會(huì)留下反響,宛若擁抱。
So, smile away! Folks understand what by a smile is meant. It’s worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.
繼續(xù)微笑吧!誰(shuí)都懂得它意味著什么。它價(jià)值連城卻不花一文。
篇二:美文賞析:打開(kāi)心門擁抱生活
We often close ourselves off when traumatic events happen in our lives; instead of letting the world soften us, we let it drive us deeper into ourselves. We try to deflect the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn’t exist, but although we can try this all we want, in the end, we can’t hide from ourselves. We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life and let the world soften us.
生活發(fā)生不幸時(shí),我們常常會(huì)關(guān)上心門;世界不僅沒(méi)能慰藉我們,反倒使我們更加消沉。我們假裝一切仿佛都不曾發(fā)生,以此試圖忘卻傷痛,可就算隱藏得再好,最終也還是騙不了自己。既然如此,何不嘗試打開(kāi)心門,擁抱生活中的各種可能,讓世界感化我們呢?
Whenever we start to let our fears and seriousness get the best of us, we should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior. The items listed below are six ways you can open your heart more fully and completely.
當(dāng)恐懼與焦慮來(lái)襲時(shí),我們應(yīng)該退后一步,重新反思自己的言行。下面六個(gè)方法有助于你更完滿透徹地敞開(kāi)心扉。
1. Breathe into pain
直面痛苦
Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away or trying to mask the hurt. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it. When we run away from sadness that’s unfolding in our lives, it gets stronger and more real. We take an emotion that’s fleeting and make it a solid event, instead of something that passes through us.
當(dāng)生活中出現(xiàn)痛苦的事情時(shí),別再逃跑或隱藏痛苦,試著擁抱它吧;當(dāng)悲傷來(lái)襲時(shí),試著深呼吸,然后直面它。如果我們一味逃避生活中的悲傷,悲傷只會(huì)變得更強(qiáng)烈更真實(shí)——悲傷原本只是稍縱即逝的情緒,我們卻固執(zhí)地耿耿于懷。
By utilizing our breath we soften our experiences. If we dam them up, our lives will stagnate, but when we keep them flowing, we allow more newness and greater experiences to blossom.
深呼吸能減緩我們的感受。屏住呼吸,生活停滯;呼出呼吸,更多新奇與經(jīng)歷又將拉開(kāi)序幕。
2. Embrace the uncomfortable
擁抱不安
We all know what that twinge of anxiety feels like. We know how fear feels in our bodies: the tension in our necks, the tightness in our stomachs, etc. We can practice leaning into these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.
我們都經(jīng)歷過(guò)焦灼的煎熬感,也都感受過(guò)恐懼造成的生理反應(yīng):脖子僵硬、胃酸翻騰。其實(shí),我們有能力面對(duì)這些痛苦的感受,從中領(lǐng)悟到出路。
The initial impulse is to run away — to try and suppress these feelings by not acknowledging them. When we do this, we close ourselves off to the parts of our lives that we need to experience most. The next time you have this feeling of being truly uncomfortable, do yourself a favor and lean into the feeling. Act in spite of the fear.
我們的第一反應(yīng)總是逃避——以為否認(rèn)不安情緒的存在就能萬(wàn)事大吉,可這也恰好妨礙了我們經(jīng)歷最需要的生活體驗(yàn)。下次感到不安時(shí),不管有多害怕,也請(qǐng)?jiān)囍赂颐鎸?duì)吧。
3. Ask your heart what it wants
傾聽(tīng)內(nèi)心
We’re often confused at the next step to take, making pros and cons lists until our eyes bleed and our brains are sore. Instead of always taking this approach, what if we engaged a new part of ourselves that isn’t usually involved in the decision making process?
我們常對(duì)未來(lái)猶疑不定,反復(fù)考慮利弊直到身心俱疲。與其一味顧慮重重,不如從局外人的角度看待決策之事。
I know we’ve all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our “gut” impulses: when asked, we can’t explain the reasons behind doing so — just a deep knowing that it had to get done. This instinct is the part of ourselves we’re approaching for answers.
其實(shí)很多決定或行動(dòng)都是我們一念之間的結(jié)果:要是追問(wèn)原因的話,恐怕我們自己也道不清說(shuō)不明,只是感到直覺(jué)如此罷了。而這種直覺(jué)恰好是我們探索結(jié)果的潛在自我。
To start this process, take few deep breaths then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?”
開(kāi)始前先做幾次深呼吸,問(wèn)自己:“內(nèi)心認(rèn)為該做什么樣的決定呢?覺(jué)得采取哪個(gè)方案最恰當(dāng)?”
See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.
看看自己的內(nèi)心反應(yīng)如何,然后全力以赴、靜待結(jié)果吧。
篇三:美文賞析:生活中你錯(cuò)過(guò)了什么?
In this life, what did you miss?
在生活中,你錯(cuò)過(guò)了什么?
The wife asked the husband when she was 25. Despondently, the husband replied: 'I missed a new job opportunity.'
妻子25歲的時(shí)候這樣問(wèn)丈夫。丈夫沮喪地回答:“我錯(cuò)過(guò)了一個(gè)新的工作機(jī)會(huì)。”
When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus.
35歲時(shí),丈夫生氣地說(shuō)他錯(cuò)過(guò)了公交車。
At 45, the husband sadly said: 'I missed the oppotunity seeing my closed relative before his last breath.'
45歲時(shí),丈夫悲傷地說(shuō):“我錯(cuò)過(guò)了見(jiàn)至親最后一面的機(jī)會(huì)!
At 55, the husband said disappointingly: 'I missed a good chance to retire.'
55歲時(shí),丈夫失望地說(shuō):“我錯(cuò)過(guò)了一個(gè)退休的好機(jī)會(huì)!
At 65, the husband hurriedly replied: 'I missed a dental appointment.'
65歲時(shí),丈夫匆匆地回答:“我錯(cuò)過(guò)了和牙醫(yī)的預(yù)約!
At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore, the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied: 'In this life, I did not miss having you!'
75歲,妻子不再問(wèn)丈夫同樣的問(wèn)題,丈夫跪在病重的妻子面前,想起以前妻子常常問(wèn)起的那個(gè)問(wèn)題,這次他也問(wèn)了妻子同樣的問(wèn)題,妻子笑了笑,一臉平靜地說(shuō):“我這一生,沒(méi)有錯(cuò)過(guò)你!”
The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work and trifles. So much so he had never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly and said: 'Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me.'
丈夫滿眼淚水,他總是認(rèn)為可以和妻子白頭到老,于是總是忙于工作和瑣事,從沒(méi)在意過(guò)妻子。他緊緊地抱住妻子說(shuō):“這50多年來(lái),我怎么能允許自己錯(cuò)過(guò)了你對(duì)我的愛(ài)呢!
In the busy city life, there are many people who are always busy with work. These people revolve their lives around their jobs, these people sacrifice all their times and health to meet the social expectations. They are unwilling to spend times on health care. They miss the opportunity to be with their children in their growing up. They neglect the loved ones who care for them, and also their health.
在繁忙的城市生活中,有人總是忙于工作。他們整天圍著工作轉(zhuǎn),甚至為了達(dá)到社會(huì)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),犧牲了自己的健康。他們不愿花時(shí)間來(lái)關(guān)注自己的健康,在孩子成長(zhǎng)的過(guò)程中錯(cuò)失了與之共享天倫之樂(lè)的機(jī)會(huì)。他們忽視了那些關(guān)心他們的人,以及他們的健康。
Nobody knows what is going to happen one year from now.
沒(méi)有人知道一年后會(huì)發(fā)生什么事情。
Life is not permanent, so always live in the now. Express your gratitude to your loved ones in words. Show your care with actions. Treat everyday as the last episode of life. In this way, when you are gone, you loved ones would have nothing to feel sorry about.
生命不是永恒的,所以活在當(dāng)下吧。把你對(duì)愛(ài)人的感謝說(shuō)出來(lái),用行動(dòng)證明你關(guān)心他們。把每一天當(dāng)作人生的最后一個(gè)篇章,只有這樣,當(dāng)你離開(kāi)時(shí),你愛(ài)的人們才會(huì)沒(méi)有遺憾。
篇四:美文賞析:去經(jīng)歷去體驗(yàn) 做最好最真實(shí)的自己
Truly happy and successful people get that way by becoming the best, most genuine version of themselves they can be. Not on the outside--on the inside. It's not about a brand, a reputation, a persona. It's about reality. Who you really are.
真正快樂(lè)成功的人會(huì)長(zhǎng)成最好最真實(shí)的自己——從內(nèi)心而非外表上。重要的不是品牌、名譽(yù)或者外表形象,而是真實(shí)的自我。
Sounds simple, I know. It is a simple concept. The problem is, it's very hard to do, it takes a lot of work, and it can take a lifetime to figure it out.
道理很簡(jiǎn)單,講出來(lái)也很容易。但問(wèn)題是,做起來(lái)就不簡(jiǎn)單了:這需要付諸很多努力,甚或一輩子才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。
Nothing worth doing in life is ever easy. If you want to do great work, it's going to take a lot of hard work to do it. And you're going to have to break out of your comfort zone and take some chances that will scare the crap out of you.
需要窮盡畢生精力的事情必定不容易。成大事者必先苦其心志。因此,你必須走出舒適區(qū),去經(jīng)歷、去體驗(yàn)?zāi)切⿻?huì)讓你害怕的機(jī)會(huì)。
But you know, I can't think of a better way to spend your life. I mean, what's life for if not finding yourself and trying to become the best, most genuine version of you that you can be?
況且,人這一輩子,若到頭來(lái)都認(rèn)不清自己、未能長(zhǎng)成最好最真實(shí)的自己,還有什么意義呢?
That's what Steve Jobs meant when he said this at a Stanford University commencement speech:
正如史蒂夫-喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮上所言:
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
時(shí)間寶貴,不要虛擲光陰過(guò)著他人的生活。不要讓周遭的聒噪言論蒙蔽你內(nèi)心的聲音。
You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
你要相信,生活中的偶然冥冥中也能指引未來(lái)。你要心懷信念——相信你的直覺(jué)、命運(yùn)、生活抑或因緣。這個(gè)方法一直給我力量,促使我過(guò)得卓然不同。
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.
成大事的唯一途徑就是做自己喜歡的事情。若你還沒(méi)找到,那就繼續(xù)追尋吧,不要停下來(lái)。
Now, let's for a moment be realistic about this. Insightful as that advice may be, it sounds a little too amorphous and challenging to resonate with today's quick-fix culture. These days, if you can't tell people exactly what to do and how to do it, it falls on deaf ears.
現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)實(shí)際一點(diǎn):建議或許很深刻,但聽(tīng)完卻讓人無(wú)從著手,難以運(yùn)用到當(dāng)今的快節(jié)奏文化中,F(xiàn)如今,如果一個(gè)建議講不清具體做什么、該怎么做的話,那么說(shuō)了也等于白說(shuō)。
Not only that, but what Jobs was talking about, what I'm talking about, requires focus and discipline, two things that are very hard to come by these days. Why? Because, focus and discipline are hard. It's so much easier to give in to distraction and instant gratification. Easy and addictive.
不僅如此,喬布斯的講話和我要說(shuō)的話都需要集中和自制——這兩個(gè)品質(zhì)在當(dāng)今社會(huì)非常難能可貴。何以見(jiàn)得?因?yàn)榧泻妥灾贫疾蝗菀鬃龅健H藗兒苋菀追稚⒆⒁饬、尋求即時(shí)快感——舒服且容易上癮。
To give you a little incentive to take on the challenge, to embark on the road to self-discovery, here are three huge benefits from working to become the best, most genuine version of yourself.
為激勵(lì)你迎接挑戰(zhàn)、踏上尋求自我的旅途,我列出了成為最好最真實(shí)自己后的三大益處:
It will make you happy. Getting to know yourself will make you feel more comfortable in your own skin. It will reduce your stress and anxiety. It will make you a better spouse, a better parent, a better friend. It will make you a better person. Those are all pretty good reasons, if you ask me.
你會(huì)感到快樂(lè)。了解自己后會(huì)讓你更愉悅地接受自己,減輕你的壓力和焦慮,使你成為更好的伴侶、父母、朋友,讓你成為一個(gè)更美好的人。這些益處難道不夠說(shuō)服你為之努力嗎?
Besides, you really won't achieve anything significant in life until you know the real you. Not your brand, your LinkedIn profile, how you come across, or what anyone thinks of you. The genuine you. There's one simple reason why you shouldn't try to be something you're not, and it's that you can't. The real you will come out anyway. So forget your personal brand and start spending time on figuring out who you really are and trying to become the best version of that you can be.
而且,只有了解真實(shí)的自己方能成就大事。你需要了解那個(gè)真實(shí)的你,而不是你的品牌、名譽(yù)、LinkedlIn資料、你的過(guò)去抑或他人對(duì)你的看法。為什么你不應(yīng)該過(guò)他人的生活?很簡(jiǎn)單,因?yàn)槭紫饶悴皇恰捌渌恕,你的本性總有一天?huì)現(xiàn)形。所以,請(qǐng)放開(kāi)你的品牌形象,努力發(fā)掘真實(shí)自我、努力把自己經(jīng)營(yíng)成最好的自己吧。
篇五:美文賞析:愛(ài)情不是商品
Love Is Not Like Merchandise
愛(ài)情不是商品
A reader in Florida, apparently bruised by some personal experience, writes in to complain, "If I steal a nickel's worth of merchandise, I am a thief and punished; but if I steal the love of another's wife, I am free."
佛羅里達(dá)州的一位讀者顯然是在個(gè)人經(jīng)歷上受過(guò)創(chuàng)傷, 他寫信來(lái)抱怨道: “如果我偷走了五分錢的商品, 我就是個(gè)賊, 要受到懲罰, 但是如果我偷走了他人妻子的愛(ài)情, 我沒(méi)事兒!
This is a prevalent misconception in many people's minds---that love, like merchandise, can be "stolen". Numerous states, in fact, have enacted laws allowing damages for "alienation of affections".
這是許多人心目中普遍存在的一種錯(cuò)誤觀念——愛(ài)情, 像商品一樣, 可以 “偷走”。實(shí)際上,許多州都頒布法令,允許索取“情感轉(zhuǎn)讓”賠償金。
But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought, sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, a change in the climate of the personality.
但是愛(ài)情并不是商品;真情實(shí)意不可能買到,賣掉,交換,或者偷走。愛(ài)情是志愿的行動(dòng),是感情的轉(zhuǎn)向,是個(gè)性發(fā)揮上的變化。
When a husband or wife is "stolen" by another person, that husband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposed toward a new partner. The "love bandit" was only taking what was waiting to be taken, what wanted to be taken.
當(dāng)丈夫或妻子被另一個(gè)人“偷走”時(shí),那個(gè)丈夫或妻子就已經(jīng)具備了被偷走的條件,事先已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備接受新的伴侶了。這位“愛(ài)匪”不過(guò)是取走等人取走、盼人取走的東西。
We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of the children "belonging" to their parents. But nobody "belongs" to anyone else. Each person belongs to himself, and to God. Children are entrusted to their parents, and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right to remove them from their parents' trusteeship.
我們往往待人如物。我們甚至說(shuō)孩子“屬于”父母。但是誰(shuí)也不“屬于”誰(shuí)。人都屬于自己和上帝。孩子是托付給父母的,如果父母不善待他們,州政府就有權(quán)取消父母對(duì)他們的托管身份。
Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheart being taken from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. At the time, we may have resented this intruder---but as we grew older, we recognized that the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruder that "caused" the break, but the lack of a real relationship.
我們多數(shù)人年輕時(shí)都有過(guò)戀人被某個(gè)更有誘惑力、更有吸引力的人奪去的經(jīng)歷。在當(dāng)時(shí),我們興許怨恨這位不速之客---但是后來(lái)長(zhǎng)大了,也就認(rèn)識(shí)到了心上人本來(lái)就不屬于我們。并不是不速之客“導(dǎo)致了”決裂,而是缺乏真實(shí)的關(guān)系。
On the surface, many marriages seem to break up because of a "third party". This is, however, a psychological illusion. The other woman or the other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving a marriage that had already lost its essential integrity.
從表面上看,許多婚姻似乎是因?yàn)橛辛恕暗谌摺辈牌屏训。然而這是一種心理上的幻覺(jué)。另外那個(gè)女人,或者另外那個(gè)男人,無(wú)非是作為借口,用來(lái)解除早就不是完好無(wú)損的婚姻罷了。
Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than the bitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has "come between" oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, for people are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents, working out their own destinies for good or for ill.
因失戀而痛苦,因別人“插足”于自己與心上人之間而圖報(bào)復(fù),是最沒(méi)有出息、最自作自受的樂(lè)。這種事總是歪曲了事實(shí)真相,因?yàn)檎l(shuí)都不是給別人當(dāng)俘虜或犧牲品——人都是自由行事的,不論命運(yùn)是好是壞,都由自己來(lái)作主。
But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe that his beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister or magical properties to the interloper. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or a home-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken, the breaking has begun long before any "third party" has appeared on the scene.
但是,遭離棄的情人或配偶無(wú)法相信她的心上人是自由地背離他的`——因而他歸咎于插足者心術(shù)不正或迷人有招。他把他叫做催眠師、竊賊或破壞家庭的人。然而,從大多數(shù)事例看,一個(gè)家的破裂,是早在什么“第三者”出現(xiàn)之前就開(kāi)始了的。
篇六:美文賞析:來(lái)自內(nèi)心的禮物
The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.- Eric Hoffer
世界上最難的算術(shù)題是如何清點(diǎn)我們的祝福。
According to legend, a young man while roaming the desert came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water. The water was so sweet, he filled his leather canteen so he could bring some back to a tribal elder who had been his teacher.
據(jù)傳說(shuō),一個(gè)年輕的男子在漫游沙漠途中看到一泉如水晶般清澈而可口的水。水的味道非常甜美,于是他灌滿了他的皮水壺,這樣就可以帶一些回去,送給曾經(jīng)是他老師的部落長(zhǎng)老。
After a four-day journey he presented the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart.
經(jīng)過(guò)四天的旅程,他把水呈獻(xiàn)給老人。老人深飲一口,和藹地笑了笑,并深切感激學(xué)生贈(zèng)予他甜美的水。年輕人懷著愉快的心情回到了村莊。
Later, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It apparently had become stale because of the old leather container.
后來(lái),老師讓他的另一個(gè)學(xué)生品嘗水。學(xué)生吐了出來(lái),說(shuō)水太難喝了。它顯然已經(jīng)因?yàn)殛惻f的皮革容器而變得不再新鮮。
The student challenged his teacher: "Master, the water was foul. Why did you pretend to like it?"
學(xué)生質(zhì)疑他的老師:“師父,水是臭的,你為什么要假裝喜歡它?”
The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for an act of loving-kindness and nothing could be sweeter."
老師回答說(shuō),“你只品嘗了水的味道,我卻是在品嘗禮物的味道。水僅僅是裝載善與愛(ài)之行為的容器,而沒(méi)有什么東西比善與愛(ài)更甜美了!
I think we understand this lesson best when we receive innocent gifts of love from young children. Whether it's a ceramic tray or a macaroni bracelet, the natural and proper response is appreciation and expressed thankfulness because we love the idea within the gift.
我認(rèn)為當(dāng)我們從天真的孩子們那里收到愛(ài)的禮物時(shí),能夠最透徹地明白這個(gè)道理。無(wú)論它是一個(gè)陶瓷托盤或通心粉手鐲,我們自然而恰當(dāng)?shù)姆磻?yīng)是欣賞,并表示感激,因?yàn)槲覀兿矚g禮物所包含的心意。
Gratitude doesn't always come naturally. Unfortunately, most children and many adults value only the thing given rather than the feeling embodied in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty and purity of feelings and expressions of gratitude. After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.
感恩并不總是自然而來(lái)的。不幸的是,大多數(shù)兒童和成人只看重被贈(zèng)予的東西本身,而不是它體現(xiàn)的情誼。我們應(yīng)該提醒自己,并教導(dǎo)我們的孩子,感情和對(duì)感激之情的表達(dá)是美麗而純潔的。畢竟,發(fā)自內(nèi)心給與的禮物才是真正的禮物。
