经典英语美文（语感口语版） ——经典励志英语美文荟萃 一、积极看待每一天 If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view. 如果你觉得心有余力不足，觉得缺乏前进的动力，有时候你只需 要改变思维的角度。 By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive(激励、 动力) to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance. 试着训练自己的思想朝好的一面看，这样你就会汲取实现目标的 动力，而不会因为消极沉沦停滞不前。 Your life can be enhanced(提高), and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don't leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations(愿望). Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way. 一旦变换看问的角度，你的生活会豁然开朗，幸福快乐会接踵 而来。别交出掌握命运的主动权，也别指望局面会不可思议的好转。 你必须与内心希望与热情步调一致。建立自信，敢于与困难短兵相接， 而非绕道而行。记住，力量不是驾驭局势的法宝，无坚不摧的能力才 是最重要的。 - 1 - ——经典励志英语美文荟萃 Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your "worry hours" into "productive hours". Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you addopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world. 请坚信，美好的降临并非不可能，失误也许是成功的前奏。将惶 恐化作信任，学会超越担忧和疑虑。让“诚惶诚恐”的时光变得“富 有成效”。不要挥霍浪费精力，将它投到有意义的事情中去。当你下 意识品尝生命的欢愉时，美好就会出现。当你积极地看待生活，并以 此作为你的日常准则时，你就会找到快乐的真谛。 二、About love - 关于爱 1) I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you. 我爱你，不是因为你是一个怎样的人，而是因为我喜欢与你在一 起时的感觉。 2) No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry. 没有人值得你流泪，值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。 3) The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them. 失去某人，最糟糕的莫过于，他近在身旁，却犹如远在天边。 - 2 - ——经典励志英语美文荟萃 4) Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. 纵然伤心，也不要愁眉不展，因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容。 5) To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. 对于世界而言，你是一个人;但是对于某个人，你是他的整个世 界。 6) Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you. 不要为那些不愿在你身上花费时间的人而浪费你的时间。 7) Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. 爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式来爱你，那并不代表他们没 有全心全意地爱你。 8) Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to. 不要着急，最好的总会在最不经意的时候出现。 9) Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful. 在遇到梦中人之前，上天也许会安排我们先遇到别的人;在我们 终于遇见心仪的人时，便应当心存感激。 - 3 - ——经典励志英语美文荟萃 10) Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened. 不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。 三、Relish the Moment-品味现在 Tucked away in our subconsciousness is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are travelling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving on a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. 我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园诗般的风光!我们仿佛身处一次横 贯大陆的漫漫旅程之中!乘着火车,我们领略着窗外流动的景色:附近 高速公路上奔驰的汽车、十字路口处招手的孩童、远山上吃草的牛群、 源源不断地从电厂排放出的烟尘、一片片的玉米和小麦、平原与山谷、 群山与绵延的丘陵、天空映衬下城市的轮廓,以及乡间的庄园宅第! But the uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we reach there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will be fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes loitering, waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. 然而我们心里想得最多的却是最终的目的地!在某一天的某一时 刻,我们将会抵达进站!迎接我们的将是乐队和飘舞的彩旗!一旦到了 那儿,多少美梦将成为现实,我们的生活也将变得完整,如同一块理好 - 4 - ——经典励志英语美文荟萃 了的拼图!可是我们现在在过道里不耐烦地踱来踱去,咒骂火车的拖 拖拉拉!我们期待着,期待着,期待着火车进站的那一刻! "When we reach the station, that will be it", we cry. "When I'm 18", "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz", "When I put my last kid through collage", "When I have paid off the mortgage", "When I get a promotion", "When I reach the age of the retirement, I shall live happily ever after." "当我们到站的时候,一切就都好了!"我们呼喊着!"当我18岁的 时候!""当我有了一辆新450SL奔驰的时候!""当我供最小的孩子念 完大学的时候!""当我偿清贷款的时候!""当我官升高任的时候!""当 我到了退休的时候,就可以从此过上幸福的生活啦!" Sooner or later, we must realize that there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us. 可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站,也没有能够" 一到永逸"的地方!生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程,而车站不过是个 梦,它始终遥遥领先于我们! "Relish the moment" is a good motto, especially when coupled withe the Psalm 118:24:"This is the day which the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tommorrow. Reget and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today. 真正令人发疯的不是今日的负担,而是对昨日的悔恨及对明日的 恐惧!悔恨与恐惧是一对孪生窃贼,将今天从你我身边偷走! - 5 - ——经典励志英语美文荟萃 So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more icecreams, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough. 那么就不要在过道里徘徊吧,别老惦记着你离车站还有多远!何 不换一种活法,将更多的高山攀爬,多吃点儿冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴,经常光 着脚板儿溜达,在更多的河流里畅游,多看看夕阳西下,多点欢笑哈哈, 少让泪水滴答!生活得一边过一边瞧!车站就会很快到达! 四、The Joy of Living-生活的乐趣 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. 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。 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. - 6 - ——经典励志英语美文荟萃 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。 五、珍惜眼前 "No difference in the past, non-attachment the future, do not play on the now. Enjoy now, and happy to live the moment", which Buddhist Feeling deep sentence, which fell heart, the mind immediately let me have far-reaching everywhere cool. “不分别过去，不执着未来，不戏论现在。安住当下，乐住 当下”，这禅味很深的句子，落在心上时，即刻让我心意深远，满目 清凉。 The moment, how to attract, how temptation. It is readily available, but fleeting. Where the snow is like a cold wind plum, frozen ice core incense, but also lonely and also gorgeous. Also like the warm touch of spring green where it faces the prospect of Tucui also delicate tender again. 当下，多么吸引，多么诱惑。它垂手可得，却稍纵即逝。好 似凛冽寒风里雪中一枝梅，冻蕊冰香，又寂又艳。还像温暖春日里那 一丝绿，含羞吐翠，又娇又嫩。 And now, and is now, that is not lost treasure in time, before you regret You quietly walked here and now.

A non-dye heart, a little Zen itself, so that the days wonderful, there are cavity tune. Life has been so calm and comfortable, so smooth, noisy and impetuous, I am far away from, I just want a quiet clear in jealously guarding its Rin, in the flat to enjoy a mild taste of the joy of a lonely. 如此，平素里便日日是好日，分分秒秒都惹人怜惜。一颗无 染心，一点自在禅，让日子有滋有味，有腔有调。生活已经如此清平 安逸，顺风顺水，喧嚣和浮躁，离我很远，我只想在宁静中独守一份 清凛，在平淡中享受一片温和，在欢喜中品味一场寂寞。 This world is intricate, and criss-cross, wrapped around wrapped around a bit with little trouble runs through the mind, what little trouble, if not pay attention to it, will gradually disappear, if it has repeatedly missed it, retaining - 8 - ——经典励志英语美文荟萃 possession of it, it will be more and more intractable. Buddhist phrase: "hungry to eat, sleep on sleep." It is simple and it is normal. May ask, how many people dull this world, sleep can not rest . 世间是纷繁的，纵横交错，缠缠绕绕，未免有小小的烦恼横 亘在心头，小小的烦恼又有什么，若不留意它，就会渐渐消失，若一 再想念它，护藏它，它便会愈来愈难缠。佛家语:“饥来吃饭，困来 眠。”实在是简单，又实在是平常。可试问，这世上有多少人食不知 味、睡不安枕呀。 If we do not want to hurt I just want peace of mind to live in quiet air, then we must be clued. Avoidance has been much stronger than a mass of bruises, we are only targeted at serious walking, not artificial, not hypocrites, do not behave themselves, but must not be presumptuous arrogance. We are only targeted optimistic about their own now, it has been exceeded, more exciting. 如果我们不想受伤，只想安心静气地生活，那么就一定要有所避 让。有所避让总比遍体鳞伤强得多，我们只管认真行走，不矫揉造作， 不虚情假意，不循规蹈矩，但也一定不要放肆嚣张。我们只管看好自 己的现在，让它有所超越，更加精彩。 六、青春不是年华而是心境 Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind.

It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life. 青春不是年华，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深 - 9 - ——经典励志英语美文荟萃 沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。青 春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进去压倒苟安，如此锐气，二十后生有 之，六旬男子则更多见。年年有加，并非垂老;理想丢弃，方堕暮年。 Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.nobody grows merely by the number of years; we grow old by deserting our ideas. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。烦忧、惶 恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。 Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’ s next and the joy of the game of living.
