Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I'd be twins!" He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don' t get it. You can' t be positive all the time. How do you do it?"
Michael replied, each morning I wake up and say to myself 'Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
"Yeah, right. It isn't that easy." I protested.
"Yes it is, " Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It's your choice how you live life. " I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon thereafter, I left the big enterprise that I had worked in for years to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often though about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower.
After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, l read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me" said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I said. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled", 'Gravity'" Over their laughter, I told them, 'I'm choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
I learned from him that every day we have a choice to live fully. Attitude is everything.

经典英语美文朗诵:The story of life 生命的故事
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away they were meant to be there , to serve some sort of purpose ,teach you a lesson,or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.You never know who these people maybe (possibly your roommate , neighbor , coworker , long lost friend , lover , or even a complete stranger),but when you lock eyes with them,you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way .
有时候,一些人进入你的生命,你马上知道他们是注定要出现的,他们的到来是为了达成某种目的,给你提供教益,帮助你认清自己以及自己想要成为怎样的人,你不会知道这些人是谁(很可能会是你的室友、邻居、同事、失散多年的朋友、爱人,甚至是素未谋面的陌生人),可是当你的目光锁定他们的那一刻,你就知道他们会给你的生命带来深远的影响。
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible , painful. and unfair at first , but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential , strength , willpower , or heart.
有时候,发生在你身上的事情看似可怕、痛苦和不公平,但仔细一想,你就会发现,如果不克服这些障碍,你就不会意识到自己的潜能、力量、意志和决心。
Everything happens for a reason.Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness , injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small test whatever they may be ,life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.The people you meet who affect your life ,and the success and downfalls you experience , help to create who you are and who you become.
任何事的发生都是有原因的。没有事情是偶然出现或运气使然。疾病、伤痛、爱情、与成功失之交臂,以及彻彻底底的糊涂犯错,这些都是你对精神极限的考验。无论这些小小的考验是什么,没有了它们,生命就像是一条不知通往何处的平坦大道,纵然安全舒适,但却了然无趣、毫无意义。你所遇到的影响你生命的人,你所经历的成功与失败,都有助于塑造和成就你的人生。
英语美文朗诵
Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact ,they are probably the most poignant and important ones.If someone hurts you , betrays you ,or breaks your heart,forgive them,for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you ,love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you ,but because in a way , they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
即使是不好的经历,也能从中吸取经验。事实上,这些经验可能是最深刻和最重要的。如果有人伤害了你,背叛了你,或伤了你的心,原谅他们把,因为他们帮助你理解了信任,让你懂得了在敞开心扉时保持精神是很重要的。 如果有人爱你,你要无条件地爱他们,不仅因为他们爱你,还因为他们教会了你去爱,以及如何敞开你的心扉、放开你的目光。
Make every day count.Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen.Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high.Hold your head up because you have every right to.Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself , it will be hard for others to believe in you . You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
让每一天都过的有价值。 珍惜生命中的每一刻,并尽你所能地从中取得收获,因为你不会有从头再来的可能。跟那些你从来没有说过话的人交谈,并注意聆听。让自己去爱,挣脱束缚,让目光高远。要昂起头,因为你有权利这么做。 告诉自己,你是一个伟大的人,并相信自己,因为如果你不相信自己,别人就很难相信你。 你可以做任何想做的事来塑造你的人生。 创造你自己的人生,并无怨无悔地去过这一生吧。
Most impotantly,if you LOVE someone, tell him or her ,for you never know what tomorrow may have in store. And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.
最重要的是,如果你爱某个人,就告诉他/她。因为你不知道明天将会怎样。活着的每一天里都要有所收获。
That`s the story of life.
这就是生命的故事。

The Afters - Life is Beautiful
Lyrics:
Through the window
I see you waiting
You are smiling
Cause I'm coming
Your eyes are a story
An ocean of memories
Pictures of faces and places
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all
All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Living and dying
Laughing or crying
If we have the whole world or have nothing
I know there are long nights
But we'll make it
With every sunrise comes a new light
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all
All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
A father's love
A wedding dance
New Year's dreams
A toast with friends
A soldier coming home from war
The faith the hope of so much more
A brand new life, a mother's prayer
Shooting stars, ocean air
A lover's kiss, and hard goodbyes
Fireworks, Christmas lights
These are things that make us feel alive
These are the times that make us realize
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
These are the times that make us realize

以下是小编整理的情感类英语美文欣赏:The Five Boons of Life, 希望使你的心灵有所触动。
In the morning of life came a good fairy with herbasket,and said:"Here are gifts. Take one, leave theothers,And be wary,choose wisely!For only one ofthem is valuable."
The gifts were five :Fame, Love,Riches,Pleasure,Death.The youth,said,eagerly:"Thereis no need to consider";and he chose Pleasure.
He went out into the world and sought out thepleasures that youth delights in . But each in its turnwas short-liyed and disappointing,vain and empty;and each,departing,mocked him .In the endhe said:"These years i have wasted.If i could but choose again, I would choose wisely."
在生命之初,一位仙女带着篮子走来,对一位年轻人说道:"这里有几份礼物,你可以从中选一份,留下其它的.你要小心,做一个明智的选择;啊,你要明智地进行选择!因为这里面只有一份礼物是珍贵的."
一共有五份礼物:名声,爱情,财富,快乐,还有死亡.年轻人迫不及待地说:"没有必要多想."他选了快乐.
此后他就开始步入世界,追逐年轻人所喜爱的快乐.然而每一种快乐都是如此短暂,令人感到空虚和失望.每当一种快乐弃他而去时,还要把他嘲弄一番.最后,年轻人感叹道"这些年我都浪费了.如果我可以再选一次,我一定会做一个明智的选择."
2
The fairy appeared,and said:"Four of the gifts remain.choose once more:and oh,remember--time is flying,and only one of them is precious."
The man considered long,then chose Love;and did not mark the tears that rose in the fairy'seyes.
After many,many years the man sat by a coffin,in an empty home.And he communed withhimself,saying:"One by one they have gone away and leftme;and now she lies here,the dearestand the last.Desolation after desolation has swept over me;but each hour of happiness thetreacherous trader,Love,sold me i have paid a thousand hours ofo grief!Out of my heart ofhearts i curse him!"
这时仙女又出现了,她说:"这里还有四份礼物.再选一次吧.噢,记住时间飞逝,而其中只有一件是珍贵的."
他思考了很久,最终选择了爱情;他没有注意到仙女眼里泛起的泪光.许多许多年之后,这个人坐在一口棺材旁边,屋子里空荡荡的.他自言自语道:"他们一个一个地走了,只剩下我.现在,她就躺在这儿,我最亲爱的人儿,我最后的亲人.孤独一次又一次把我包围.都是因为爱情这个阴狡诈的商人,他出售给我的每个甜蜜的小时,我现在都要用数千个小时的悲伤来偿还!我从心底里诅咒他!"
3
"Choose again."It was the fairy speaking."The years have you wisdow-surely it must beso.There gifts remain.Only one of them has anyworth-remember it ,and choose warily."
The man reflected long,then chose Fame;and the fairy,sighing,went her way.
Years went by and she came again,and stood behind the man where he sat solitary in thefading day,thinking.And she knew his thought:"My name filled the world,and its praiss were onevery tongue,and it seemed well with me for a littlewhile.How little a while it was!Then cameenvy;then detraction;then hate;then persecution.Then derision,which is the begining of theend.And last of all came pity,which is the funeral of fame.Oh ,the bitterness and misery ofrenown!"
"你在选一次吧."仙女又一次说话了.
"这些年已经教予你智慧--也理当如此.这里还有三份礼物,其中只有一份是有价值的--切记,你好好挑吧."
他想了很久,然而选择了名声.仙女叹了口气,径自离开了.岁月流转,仙女又回来了,站到他的身旁.已迈入迟暮之年的他孑然一身,心情重重.他在想些什么,她都了然于心.
"我的名字传遍世界,每个人都争相赞颂,有一阵子好像让我心满足.可那是多么短暂的一阵子啊!随之而来的是妒忌;然后是诋毁;然后是憎恶;然后是迫害.之后是嘲讽,从些一切开始步入完结.最后便是怜悯,这也是我的名声的葬礼.啊,名声原来是这般苦涩和痛苦!"
4
"Choose yet again."It was the fairy's voice. "Two gifts remain.And do not despair .In thebegining there was but one that was precious,and it is still here.
"Wealth-which is power!How blind i was!"said the man."Now,at last,life will be worth the living.Iwill spend.squander.These mockers and despisers will crawl in the dirt before me,and i will feedmy hungry heart with their envy,I will have all luxuries,all joys,all enchant-times of the spirit Iwill buy,buy,buy!I have lost much time,and chosen badly heretofore,but let that pass;I wasignorant then,and could but take for best what seemed so."
Three short years went by,and a day came when the man sat shivering in a mean garret;and hewas gaunt and wan and hollow-eyed,and clothed in rags;and he was gnawing a dry crust andmumbling:"Curse all the world's gifts for mockeries and gilded lies!And miscalled,every one,Theyare not gifts,but merely lendings.Pleasure.Love,Fame.Riches:they are but temporary disguisesfor lasting realities-Pain,Grief,Shame,Poverty.The fairy said true;in all her store there was butone gift which was precious,only one that was not valueless,How poor and cheap and mean iknow those others now to be,Bring it!I am weary.I would rest."
"不过你还可以重新现挑一次."仙女的声音再度响起.
"还剩下两份礼物.不要灰心丧气,从一开始就只有一份是宝贵的,而现在它还在那里啊."
"财富--财富就是力量!我过去多盲目啊!"他说."现在,终于,我的生命将要变得有意义.我要纵情欢度此生,我要挥霍我的人生.那些对我冷嘲热讽,轻蔑诋毁我的人将要在我面前的泥土里挣扎,而我空乏的心也将因为他们的妒忌而得到满足.我将要享尽荣华富贵,所有欢乐和所有销魂的时光.我要买,买!以前我做错了选择,失去了许多时间,就让它过去吧;当时我很无知,我只能选我觉得最好的东西.
短短的三年又过去了.到了这么一天,这个人蜷缩在一个简陋的小阁楼里,古瘦如柴,苍白无力,双眼深陷,身上裹着碎布衣衫,浑身颤抖不停.他一边啃着一块干面包皮,一边咕哝着:"该死的礼物,都是为了让我受人嘲笑和欺诈!每一样都叫错了!它们都不是礼物,根本只是租借品!快乐,爱情,名声还有财富-都只不过是长久现实的暂时伪装-它们其实是永远的痛苦,悲哀,耻辱和贫穷!那个仙女说的没错啊,她所有的东西里只有一样是珍贵的,只有那么一样不是毫无价值的.我现在才明白,其它礼物是多么低贱与卑劣!把它带来吧-那真正宝贵的礼物!我累了,我想休息了.
5
The fairy came,bringing again four of the gifts,but Death was wanting.She said:"I gave it to amother's pet, a little child.It was ignorant,but trusted me,asking me to choose for it.You didnot ask me to choose."
"Oh,miserable me!What is left for me ?"
"What not even you have deserved:the wantoninsult of Old Age."
仙女出现了,带着以前的那四件礼物,但惟独没有最后那一件-死亡.她说道:"我把它给了一位母亲的宠儿子:一个小孩子.他什么也不懂,但他相信我,让我来帮他挑选.而你并没有这么做."
"啊,我多可悲啊!那还剩下什么给我呢?"
"一件你也不配得到的东西:接受年老体衰的折磨.

下面是读文网小编整理的英语美文:Five Balls Of Life ,欢迎大家阅读!
This was written by the CEO of Coca-Cola Brian G. Dyson.It was used as Georgia Tech'sCommencement Address:
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work,family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soonunderstand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.But the other fourballs family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will beirrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are differentthat each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best foryou.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be yourlife, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living yourlife one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment youstop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us toeach together.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receivelove is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keeplove is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where youare going.
Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that's why we call it 'ThePresent'.

下面是读文网小编整理的英语美文:Don't Miss Out on Life,欢迎大家阅读!
It takes only a minute to get crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to lovesomeone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go forsomeone who makes you smile. Because it only takes a smile to make a dark day seem bright.Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Maybe we meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meetthe right person. We will know how to be grateful for that gift.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don'tknow what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love will not provide assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expectlove in return; Just wait for it to grow in their hearts. But if it doesn't, be content. It grew inyours.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick themfrom your dreams and hug them for real!
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enoughsorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most ofeverything that comes along their way.
Happiness are for those who cry, those who have searched, and those who have tried becauseonly they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Be good to everyone who becomes attached to us; cherish every friend who is by our side;
善待,每一个和我们结缘的人;珍惜,我们身边的每一个朋友;
love everyone who walks into our life.
爱,生命中,每一个和我们结缘的人。
It must be fate to get acquainted in a huge crowd of people…
茫茫的人海中,相识,其实,就是缘分……
I feel, the love that Osho talks about, maybe is a kind of pure love beyond the mundane world, which is full of divinity and caritas, and overflows with Buddhist allegorical words and gestures,
感觉,奥修所说的,也许是一种纯净、超越世俗和男女,充满神性和佛性的博爱,弥发,一种禅性和机锋,
but, it seems that I cannot see through its true meaning forever…
而我,却好像永远,都,无法参透……
Maybe, I do not just “absorb” your love; but because the love overpowers me and I am unable to
dispute and refuse it…
也许,我并不只是”接受”;而是,因为那种爱,让我,情不自禁、无法抗拒、不能拒绝……
Do you know? It’s you who light up my life! And I stubbornly believe that such love can only be experienced once in my life.
知道吗?是你,点燃了我的生命!而我,固执的相信,这种情感,在我的生命中,只有一次。
Because of love, we won’t be lonely anymore; because of yearning, we taste more loneliness.
因为爱,我们,不再孤单;因为思念,品尝,更多的寂寞。

If I had my life to live over……I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life. I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day. I would never have bought anything just because it was practical,would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time. There would have been more“I love you”……more“I‘m sorry”……but mostly,given another shots at life,I would seize every minute……look at it and really see it……live it……and never give it back.
美文翻译:
假如生活从头再来假如我能重新生活,我会说得更少,听得更多。我会邀请朋友来吃饭,即使地毯变脏,沙发褪色。我会花时间听我的祖父漫谈他的年轻时光。我再也不会坚持在某个夏天的某一天车窗一定要打开,而我的头发刚刚被喷胶并被做好。我会点燃雕得像朵玫瑰一样的粉红的蜡烛,在它被在存储中融化之前。我会与我的孩子一起坐在草坪上,不用担心草地上的污渍。我会在看电视时哭得更少,笑得更少,而更多的是观察生活。当我生病时,我会上床睡觉,而不是假装如果我不在一天,地球就会停止不动。我再也不会购买任何据说是实用的,牢固的,保证可用一生的东西。我会说更多的“我爱你.”……更多的“对不起.”……可是,我被生活再次击倒,我会抓住每一分钟……看看它,实实在在地看它……好好生活……决不让它重头再来。

当生活中出现痛苦的事情时,别再逃跑或隐藏痛苦,试着拥抱它吧!下面是读文网小编为大家整理的双语美文欣赏:Embrace Life,希望大家喜欢!
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.
生活发生不幸时,我们常常会关上心门;世界不仅没能慰藉我们,反倒使我们更加消沉。我们假装一切仿佛都不曾发生,以此试图忘却伤痛,可就算隐藏得再好,最终也还是骗不了自己。既然如此,何不尝试打开心门,拥抱生活中的各种可能,让世界感化我们呢?
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.
当恐惧与焦虑来袭时,我们应该退后一步,重新反思自己的言行。下面三个方法有助于你更完满透彻地敞开心。
1. Breathinto 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.
当生活中出现痛苦的事情时,别再逃跑或隐藏痛苦,试着拥抱它吧;当悲伤来袭时,试着深呼吸,然后直面它。如果我们一味逃避生活中的悲伤,悲伤只会变得更强烈更真实——悲伤原本只是稍纵即逝的情绪,我们却固执地耿耿于怀。
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.
深呼吸能减缓我们的感受。屏住呼吸,生活停滞;呼出呼吸,更多新奇与经历又将拉开序幕。
倾听内心
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?
我们常对未来犹疑不定,反复考虑利弊直到身心俱疲。与其一味顾虑重重,不如从局外人的角度看待决策之事。
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.
其实很多决定或行动都是我们一念之间的结果:要是追问原因的话,恐怕我们自己也道不清说不明,只是感到直觉如此罢了。而这种直觉恰好是我们探索结果的潜在自我。
To start this process, take few deep breaths then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?”
开始前先做几次深呼吸,问自己:“内心认为该做什么样的决定呢?觉得采取哪个方案最恰当?”
See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.
看看自己的内心反应如何,然后全力以赴、静待结果吧。

假设有人给了你一枝笔,你会做什么?下面是读文网小编为大家整理的双语美文欣赏:Write Your Own Life,希望大家喜欢!
Suppose someone gave you a pen — a sealed, solid-colored pen.You couldn’t see how much ink it had.
假设有人给了你一枝笔,一枝密封的、纯色的水笔,里面有多少墨水你看不到。
It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things.You don’t know before you begin.
很可能刚刚试写几字便用干耗尽;也可能足以完成一部或几部杰作,永存于世,使世事为之大变。
Under the rules of the game, you really never know.You have to take a chance!
而这一切你在动笔之前却是一无所知。根据游戏的规则,你确实永远也不会知道,只能冒一下险。
Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.
而事实上,也没有规则说你就一定要做些什么。你大可以把笔搁在架子上、放在抽屉里,弃置不用,任墨水蒸发干净。
But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?
然而,如果你真的决定使用,你会做什么?怎么来做这个游戏?
Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word?
你会左计划、右计划,然后才慢慢下笔吗?
Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?
计划会不会太泛太多,根本就达不到写作这一步?
Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you?
会不会提笔在手,迫不及待地投入其中,任由手中的笔、笔下的字带着你在词海中上下翻腾、左突右冲?
Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe (or pretend to believe) that the pen will write forever and proceed accord gly?
会不会下笔谨小慎微,似乎墨水随时都将干涸?会不会假装或相信、或假装相信笔中墨水永不会枯竭,任你挥洒?
And of what would you write: Of love? Hate? Fun? Misery? Life? Death? Nothing Everything?
你会写些什么?爱情?仇恨?乐趣?痛苦?生命?死亡?虚无空空抑或世事万种?
Would you write to please just yourself? Or others? Or yourself by writing for others?
是会用来自娱?还是取悦他人?还是为人写作而愉悦自身?
Would your strokes be tremblingly timid or brilliantly bold? Fancy with a flourish or plain?
你的一笔一划会颤抖怯懦还是亮丽大胆?花里胡哨还是朴实无华?
Would you even write? Once you have the pen, no rule says you have to write. Would you sketch? Scribble? Doodle or draw?
你确实会去写吗?你一旦有了这枝笔,却也没有规则说你一定就要去写。你会粗粗写来?潦潦草草?信手涂鸦?还是认真描画?
Would you stay in or on the lines, or see no lines at all, even if they were there? Or are they? There’s a lot to think about here, isn’t there?
你会写在线里还是写在线上,或者对纸上的线格根本就视而不见?真的有什么线格吗?此时此刻,有很多东西值得思考,不是吗?
Now, suppose someone gave you a life...
那么,假设有人给了你一次生命……

不管什么时候,你要热爱你的生活,这样你才能生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。下面是读文网小编为大家整理的双语美文欣赏:Love Your Life,希望大家喜欢!
However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not as bad as you are.
不论你的生活如何卑贱,你要面对它生活,不要躲避它,更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。
It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.
你最富有的时候,倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。
You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.
你要爱你的生活,尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里,你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上,像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前,积雪同在早春融化。我只看到,一个从容的人,在哪里也像在皇宫中一样,生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。
The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any. Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means, which should be more disreputable.
城镇中的穷人,我看,倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大,所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的,不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活,他们是毫不超脱的,毋宁是不体面的。
Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old, return to them.
视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样,无论是新的朋友或新的衣服,来麻烦你自己。找旧的,回到那里去。
Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
万物不变,是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉,但要保留你的思想。

你要总是告诉自己没有什么事不能克服的。带着这样的决心,成功必然在道路的尽头等着你。下面是读文网小编为大家带来英语经典美文:Success in Life,希望大家喜欢!
Success means different things for different people. Some may equate it with fame, some with wealth and still some with accomplishments. For me, it means fulfilling one's dreams. Whatever your dreams are, you have a goal there and then focus all your attention on it. Dreams bring you hope and happiness. In the process of struggling for it, you cry, sweat, complain or even curse, but the joy of harvesting makes you forget all the pains and troubles you have gone through. So an old proverb says that the sweetest fruit is one that has undergone the bitterest ordeal.
成功对不同的人意味着不同的事情。对有些人来说,成功可能等同于名气;对有些人来说,成功意味着财富;对有些人来说,成功意味着有所成就。对我来说,成功意味着实现自己的梦想。无论你的梦想是什么,你至少有一个目标,然后把所有的精力都集中在上面。梦想会给你带来希望和幸福。在为梦想奋斗过程中,会有泪水,汗水,抱怨,甚至诅咒,但收获的喜悦让你忘掉所有的痛苦以及你所经历的困难。因此,一个古老的谚语说:所以一句老话说最甜蜜的果实是在最艰苦的奋斗后得来的。
There are several keys to success. First, your goal must be practical and practicable. If you set your goal too high, chances are that you will never attain it. Next, you have to make a plan of doing it. You can take some steps to realize it. Since the process is quite tough, you need to be diligent, patient and persevering. Even if you meet with some difficulties or frustrations, just take them in your stride. You can always tell yourself that there is nothing insurmountable. With this will and determination, success is sure to wait for you at the end of the tunnel!
这里有一些成功的秘诀。首先,你的目标必须现实可行。如果你制定的目标太高,你也许会永远无法达到。再者,又必须为之制定计划。你可以分步骤地实现他。因为过程将是艰苦的,你必须勤奋,耐心,坚持不懈。即使你遇见了困难与挫折,也要将之克服。你要总是告诉自己没有什么事不能克服的。带着这样的决心,成功必然在道路的尽头等着你。

But now we Call long distance at home. And once my parents listened to the radio for news and other information. But now we get the news by watching TV. Another big change is in my living conditions. When they got married about twenty years ago, my parents lived in a small room crowded with fiirniture. But now we have moved into a big new three-room apartment.
