Yes this may be surprising, I was only 13 years old that time. But, don't know how or why ithappened to me so early. I fell deeply in love with a guy, who I used to think was annoying 2months ago.
It was 1997, in Chittagong, Bang- ladesh, me and my family have just moved to a newapartment in a new area. So, after few weeks have passed, I started going back to school, sinceit was during Ramadan we moved. Well, I made some new friends in the neighborhood. This girlwho was always hanging out with, her name was Ivy.
One day when I was going to school, I bumped into Ivy on the way out of my building, and shewas standing next to this guy, he lived in the building right beside mine. He said “Hi” to me, andwe just asked each other “how are you” and blah blah, then I had to leave. But I noticed thatguy was looking at me. It was a different kind of look, look with love in his eyes. Few days later,I noticed whenever I go to school and come back from school, he is standing in his balcony, andsmiling at me. If he is not around, and one of his friends see me, they start to yell out hisname. Oh yeah, by the way, his name was Mamun.
So, I was very annoyed by those things. And I even told Ivy to tell Mamun to stop thesefoolishness. After my exams were over, I had a break. So I used to go to the roof and readbooks to spend my time. Mamun used to come to their roof also and both roofs where so closeto each other that you can just jump from one to another.
Once I was reading a book, and I noticed Mamun come to their roof and he looked at me, andsmiled. OH MY GOD! I don't know what happened to me. That sweet smile just took me away. Ismiled back at him, for the first time. I could never forget that moment. We used to smile ateach other whenever we saw each other, but never had a chat. I was sure that he liked me alot, because, anytime he would see me on the roof from his balcony, he came up to the roofright away. I fell in love with him very deeply. I was surprised that I did. The feelings I had wasso beautiful and made me so happy.
Mamun did come to my roof one day to talk to me but I wanted him to go away. I didn't wantany one to see us talking. As you know, in Bangladesh rumors go around so fast. When wetalked, I saw deep love in his eyes. I always smiled at him; I didn't talk to him much. Still, lifewas going on so wonderfully. Mamun never told me he loved me. I thought that was because, Iwas 5/6 years younger than him.
Very soon, I found out that me and my family are leaving Bang- ladesh and coming to Canada. Iwas devas- tated. I cried all night but there was nothing to do. When Mamun found out, heasked me on the roof, if it was true. When I said yes, he asked how long will I be in Canada.The answer was maybe forever, we were going to settle in Canada. He looked depressed, all hesaid was “Oh”, then I told him out flight date.
The next month, it was Ramadan again. Mamun came to say good bye to me on the roof, hewas leaving to spend his Eid with his family. That day, I was so sad, I felt like I lost somethingvery important in my life. We said goodbye to each other, he said he thinks I am such a sweetgirl, he hopes I have a great life in Canada. Oh my god, I couldn't hold myself, I think my eyesbecame watery. I didn't want him to see that I was crying. I said “you too” and tried to smileand left the roof right away.
That was the last day I ever saw my first love. Now 4 years later, here I am in CANADA. I haveguy in my life now, whom I am deeply love with after Mamun. I never lose him.
I am ... over Mamun now. Everytime I remember those days, looking at each other on the roof,talking, I feel really down. I wonder where he is now, if we will even meet again... I can neverforget my first love.
这可能会令人吃惊,因为那时我才13岁。但是,我也不知道怎么那么早就降临到我身上了。我深深地喜欢上了一个男孩,可就在那两个月前我还认为他是个令人讨厌的家伙呢。
1997年在孟加拉国的吉大港,我和家人刚搬到一个新地方,住进新公寓。由于我们是在斋月搬的家,因此过了几个星期,我才开始回到学校上学。我在街坊里交了一些新朋友,总和我一起去玩的那个女孩叫艾维。
有一天,我正要去上学,刚出家门就碰到了艾维。她站在那个男孩旁边,他就住在我们隔壁那栋楼房里。他跟我打了声招呼,之后我们也只是问对方“你好吗”之类的话,然后我就离开了。但我注意到那个家伙在看我,而且是一种别样的眼神,眼里充满爱意。几天后,我发现我每次上学放学的时候,他都会站在阳台上朝我微笑。如果他的朋友看到我,而他又不在旁边,他们就会对我喊他的名字。哦!对了,他叫马蒙。
因此,我对于这些事情也十分恼火。我甚至让艾维转告马蒙停止这些愚蠢的行为。考试结束后我有个短暂的假期,经常会去屋顶看书打发时间。马蒙也经常去他们的屋顶,两个屋顶之间是如此接近,甚至一跳就可以跳到另一个屋顶。
有一次,我正在看书,发现马蒙也来到他们的屋顶看着我笑,哦,天哪,真不知道我怎么了,他甜美的笑容竟然把我迷住了,我不禁也对他笑了,那是第一次对他笑,我永远忘不了那个时刻。以后每次看见对方都互相笑一下,但从来没说过话。我敢肯定他非常喜欢我,因为无论何时他从阳台上看到我在屋顶上,他也马上跑上屋顶。我自己也很惊奇,我竟然深深地喜欢上了他。这种感觉非常美妙,我也很开心。
一天,马蒙来到我家屋顶上跟我说话,但我想让他离开。我不想其他人看见我们说话。你也知道,在孟加拉国流言蜚语传播很快。我们谈话时,我从他眼神里看出他对我的爱恋。我并没有和他说太多话,总是对他微笑。生活照样如此精彩地过着,然而马蒙从来没有告诉过我他喜欢我。我想这可能是因为我比他小五六岁的原因吧。
很快地,我发现我们家就要离开孟加拉国去加拿大了,我彻底绝望了,我哭了整个晚上,可这也无济于事。马蒙知道后,在屋顶上问我那到底是不是真的。我说是的,他问我在加拿大会待多久,我说可能是永远,我们要在加拿大定居。他看起来很沮丧,只说了声“哦”,之后我告诉了他航班的日期。
下个月又到九月斋月了,马蒙来到屋顶上与我道别,他要去和他的家人过开斋节。那天我心里特别难过,我感到我失去了生命里非常重要的东西。我们互相道别后,他说他认为我是一个很讨人喜欢的女孩,并祝愿我在加拿大生活愉快。哦,天哪!我几乎无法克制自己,我想我的眼睛肯定水汪汪的,我不想让他看到我哭了。说完“你也是”,就努力笑了笑,马上离开了屋顶。
那是我最后一天见到我的初恋。现在我已经在加拿大生活四年多了,我的生活中也有了男朋友,他是在马蒙之后我深爱的一个人,我绝不会失去他。
现在,我和马蒙的事已经过去了。每次我回忆起那些日子里,我们在屋顶上互相望着彼此聊天,我还是真的感觉很难受。我不知他现在在哪儿,我们能否再见到彼此……但我永远忘不了我的初恋。

别为结束了而哭泣,要为曾经发生过而微笑。下面是读文网小编为大家带来英语经典美文:金链,希望大家喜欢!
Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman who always dreamed of becoming rich. He wished to become a millionaire, and so did his wife.
很久以前,有个贫穷的渔夫,他总是梦想着能够发大财,希望自己能够成为百万富翁,他妻子也是如此。
He had heard from some old men before, that several ships loaded with diamonds and gold had once sunk in the nearby seashore.
他曾听一些年长者说过,以前有几艘载满金银珠宝的船只沉没在附近的海域。
Because of this, for a long time he kept searching that whole area for this treasure.
因此,长期以来,他一直在这一带的海域里搜寻着金银珠宝。
One day, while he was sitting on the boat daydreaming, he suddenly felt that the fishing rod was being weighed down by a heavy object.
有一天,正当他坐在船上想入非非时,忽然感到钓线被非常沉重的东西拖住了。
He excitedly pulled hard at it, and what he saw made him exclaim,“Wow! A big, shiny gold chain!”
他非常兴奋,使劲地往上拉,当鱼线拖出水面时,他不禁大声尖叫起来:“哇!金光闪闪的长金链!”
He pulled hard at the gold chain to get it into the boat, but there seemed to be no end to it. His boat started to get over-loaded and the sea water filled his boat.
他拼命地把金链子往船上拖,可是似乎没有尽头。他的小船超载了,海水开始灌进船舱。
However, he had begun dreaming of a big house, a big piece of land and buying horses and cows...He kept pulling in the chain though the boat kept sinking.
然而,他却依旧没完没了地做着黄粱美梦:可以买一幢大房子,置一大片稻田,再买下几头牛、几匹马……尽管小船一直往下沉,他却依然拖着金链。
The boat was finally submerged and he struggled to stay afloat. Unfortunately his feet were entangled in the gold chain and he drowned.
最后,小船终于沉下去了,落入水中的他拼命挣扎想游出水面。不幸的是,他的双脚被金链死死缠住,淹死了。
... that might restore his poise and bring him back to his normal self.
……(拒绝参加)一切能使他恢复平静、回到自我的活动。
No longer would his darling's candle be extinguished by his useless tears.
而宝贝女儿的蜡烛再也没有被他那无用的眼泪熄灭过。
His boat started to get over-loaded and the sea water filled his boat.
他的小船超载了,海水开始灌进船舱。

只有推开了石头,植物才能自由地、蓬勃地在阳光下生长。下面是读文网小编为大家带来英语经典励志美文:推开石头,希望大家喜欢!
I enjoy life because I am endlessly interested in people and their growth. My interest leads me to widen my knowledge of people, and this in turn compels me to believe in the common goodness of mankind. I believe that the normal human heart is born good. That is, it’s born sensitive and feeling, eager to be approved and to approve, hungry for simple happiness and the chance to live. It neither wishes to be killed, nor to kill. If through circumstances, it is overcome by evil, it never becomes entirely evil. There remain in it elements of good, however recessive, which continue to hold the possibility ofrestoration.
生活让我感到快乐,因为我对人、对人类的发展有无穷无尽的兴趣。这一兴趣使我不停地了解更多的人,而对人的深入了解则促使我相信人之初,性本善。也就是说人生来就善解人意,有同情心,热望被人认同,也认同他人,渴望单纯的幸福和生存的机会。人不希望被人杀害也不希望去杀害被人。即使邪念因境而生,人也不会完全被邪念所左右。人总有其美好的一面,无论如何退化变质,总有弃恶从善的可能。
I believe in human beings, but my faith is without sentimentality. I know that in environments of uncertainty, fear, and hunger, the human being is dwarfed and shaped without his being aware of it, just as the plant struggling under a stone does not know its own condition. Only when the stone is removed can it spring up freely into the light. But the power to spring up is inherent, and only death puts an end to it. I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in human beings.
我相信人类,但我的信念绝非是滥施情感。我知道,处于饥饿、恐惧、无法预测未来的环境中,人类没有意识到他们的发展遇到了很大的阻力,正如石头下的植物挣扎着生长却不知道自己被石头压住了一样。只有推开了石头,植物才能自由地、蓬勃地在阳光下生长。但是,蓬勃生长的力量是植物固有的,只有死亡才能夺去它们的这种力量。
Life Confucius of old, I am absorbed in the wonder of earth, and the life upon it, and I cannot think of heaven and the angels. I have enough for this life. If there is no other life, than this one has been enough to make it worth being born, myself a human being. With so profound a faith in the human heart and its power to grow toward the light, I find here reason and cause enough for hope and confidence in the future of mankind. The common sense of people will surely prove to them someday that mutual support and cooperation are only sensible for the security and happiness of all. Such faith keeps me continually ready and purposeful with energy to do what one person can towards shaping the environment in which the human being can grow with freedom. This environment, I believe, is based upon the necessity for security and friendship.
如同古代的孔夫子一样,我深深地沉醉于奇妙的大地和美好的尘世生活之中,不可能再去畅想什么天堂和天使。此生我活得充实。如果没有来世,今世也足以值得我为它诞生,不枉为一世人。对人心之善及其向往光明之力的坚定信念使我对人类的未来充满希望和信心。人类的常识一定在未来的某一天向他们证明,互相支持与合作只会对全人类的安全和幸福有实际意义。这种信念使我精力充沛、尽我所能去营造人类能自由发展的环境且乐此不疲。营造这个环境,我相信,是以安全和友谊为必要前提的。
I take heart in a promising fact that the world contains food supplies sufficient for the entire earth population. Our knowledge of medical science is already sufficient to improve the health of the whole human race. Our resources and education, if administered on a world scale, can lift the intelligence of the race. All that remains is to discover how to administer upon a world scale, the benefits which some of us already have. In other words, to return to my simile, the stone must be rolled away. This too can be done, as a sufficient number of human beings come to have faith in themselves and in each other. Not all will have such faith at the same moment, but there is a growing number who have the faith.
我对未来充满信心:世界的食物能供养人类;我们的医学知识足以改善人类的健康状况;我们的教育资源,若在世界范围内统一管理,能提高各种族的智力;我们只需去发现如何在世界范围内管理我们已经拥有的资源。换言之,用我刚提到的明喻来表示,石头必须推开。这也是能做到的。因为我们相当多的人已逐渐树立了对自己的信念,彼此也相互信任。虽然并不是所有的人在同一时刻具备这种信念,但具备这种信念的人数在不断增加。
Half a century ago, no one had thought of world food, world health, world education. Many are thinking today of these things. In the midst of possible world war, of wholesale destruction, I find my only question this: are there enough people now who believe? Is there time enough left for the wise to act? It is a contest between ignorance and death, or wisdom and life. My faith in humanity stands firm.
半个世纪以前,没有人关注世界的食品问题、健康问题和教育问题。今天就有许多人想到这些了。在可能发生的世界战争中,在大规模的毁灭过程中,我发现我唯一的疑问是:有足够多的人树立了信仰吗?有足够的时间让智者采取行动吗?这是无知与死亡之间或是智慧与生命之间的较量。我对人类的这种信念坚定不移。

At the beginning of the World Series of 1947, I experienced a completely new emotion, when the National Anthem was played.This time, I thought, it is being played for me, as much as for anyone else. This is organized major league baseball, and I am standing here with all the others; and everything that takes place includes me.
1947年的世界职业棒球大赛开赛那天,当美国国歌奏响的那一刻,我产生了一种全新的情感。这一次,国歌是为我而奏,就像为其他人奏一样。我终于能和其他人一样,站在职业棒球大联盟球赛的赛场上,成为这一切的一部分。
About a year later, I went to Atlanta, Georgia, to play in an exhibition game. On the field, for the first time in Atlanta, there were Negroes and whites. Other Negroes, besides me. And I thought: What I have always believed has come to be.
大约一年以后,我参加了在乔治亚州首府亚特兰大举办的一次棒球表演赛。这是亚特兰大的赛场上第一次同时出现白人和黑人运动员。除我之外,还有其他黑人选手。那一刻,我一直坚守的信念终于实现了。
And what is it that I have always believed? First, that imperfections are human. But that wherever human beings were given room to breathe and time to think, those imperfections would disappear, no matter how slowly. I do not believe that we have found or even approached perfection. That is not necessarily in the scheme of human events. Handicaps, stumbling blocks, prejudices — all of these are imperfect. Yet, they have to be reckoned with because they are in the scheme of human events.
我一直坚守的信念是什么呢?首先,我知道人类不可避免会有缺陷。但只要人类有一息尚存,只要人类还能思考,这些缺陷一定会逐渐消失,无论过程会多么漫长。我 并不认为我们已经到达或正在接近完美无缺的境界。完美无缺的境界并非人类社会不可或缺的一部分。有些缺陷,例如残疾、障碍和偏见,在人类社会中都存在,也 就需要我们勇敢地去面对。
Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harder. But it would have been impossible for me to fight at all, except that I was sustained by the personal and deep-rooted belief that my fight had a chance. It had a chance because it took place in a free society. Not once was I forced to face and fight an immovable object. Not once was the situation so cast-iron rigid that I had no chance at all. Free minds and human hearts were at work all around me; and so there was the probability of improvement. I look at my children now, and know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices.
我一路上遇到的阻碍都促使我更加努力地去抗争、去奋斗。然而,如果不是我内心深处坚信我的奋斗有希望,我就根本无法坚持。我的奋斗有希望,因为这是一个自 由的社会。在这里,我不止一次遇到过无法逾越的障碍,也不止一次经历过令人绝望的境况。但那时,思想与心灵的自由便能起作用,让我摆脱困境。如今我看着自 己的孩子们,我知道我仍需要他们准备面对困难与歧视。
But I can tell them, too, that they will never face some of these prejudices because other people have gone before them. And to myself I can say that, because progress is unalterable, many of today's dogmas will have vanished by the time they grow into adults. I can say to my children: There is a chance for you. No guarantee, but a chance.And this chance has come to be, because there is nothing static with free people. There is no Middle Ages logic so strong that it can stop the human tide from flowing forward. I do not believe that every person, in every walk of life, can succeed in spite of any handicap. That would be perfection. But I do believe — and with every fiber in me — that what I was able to attain came to be because we put behind us (no matter how slowly) the dogmas of the past: to discover the truth of today; and perhaps find the greatness of tomorrow.
然而,我可以告诉他们,正因为前人的努力奋斗,他们今后不必再经受我们现在承受的某些偏见。我也告诉自己,社会进步是必然的,当我的孩子们长大成人时,现 在社会上的许多教条一定会消失。因此,我可以告诉我的孩子们:你们有希望——我不敢保证什么,但肯定有希望。有自由思想的人决不会停滞不前,所以你们有希 望。再也没有中世纪强大荒谬的逻辑能阻挡人类历史的潮流滚滚向前。我并不认为从事任何职业的任何人都能排除一切障碍获得成功——这样的完美不现实。但我的 确有一条坚定不疑的信念——我现在所做到的一切是因为我们能够抛开从前的教条(无论多么缓慢),能探寻当下的真理,也许还能发现未来的美好。
I believe in the human race. I believe in the warm heart. I believe in man's integrity. I believe in the goodness of a free society. And I believe that the society can remain good only as long as we are willing to fight for it — and to fight against whatever imperfections may exist.My fight was against the barriers that kept Negroes out of baseball. This was the area where I found imperfection, and where I was best able to fight. And I fought because I knew it was not doomed to be a losing fight. It couldn't be a losing fight-not when it took place in a free society. And in the largest sense, I believe that what I did was done for me — that it was my faith in God that sustained me in my fight. And that what was done for me must and will be done for others.
我相信人类。我相信热诚的心。我相信人们的正直与诚实。我相信自由社会中的美德。我相信只要我们愿意为之奋斗,愿意与所存在的缺陷抗争到底,这个社会就能永远美好。棒球比赛将黑人拒之门外就是人类社会的一种缺陷。既然我有这个能力,我就要和这种现象抗争到底。我抗争,因为我知道这场战斗并非注定以失败告终。这场战斗不会失败——在一个自由社会中这场战斗不可能失败。大而言之,我所做到的一切都市上苍的眷顾——正是我对上帝的信仰支撑着我,给我抗争的勇气。我相信被眷顾的不仅仅是我一个人,而应是、也将是我们所有人。

A father was worried about his son, who was sixteen years old but had nocourage at all. So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk to train hisboy.
一位父亲为儿子担心。儿子16岁了,却没有一点勇气。于是,父亲决定去拜访一位禅师,请他训练儿子。
The Buddhist monk said to the boy’s father, “You should leave your son alonehere. I’ll make him into a real man within three months. However, you can’tcome to see him during this period. ”
禅师对男孩的父亲说:“你应该让他单独留在这里。不出3个月,我要让他成为一个真正的男子汉。不过,在这段时间,你不能来见他。”
Three months later, the boy’s father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged aboxing match between the boy and an experienced boxer. Each time the fighterstruck the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up; and each time apunch knocked him down, the boy stood up again. Several times later, theBuddhist monk asked, “What do you think of your child?”
3个月后,男孩的父亲又来见禅师。禅师安排这个男孩和一位经验丰富的拳师进行拳击比赛。拳师每次一出手,男孩就倒在地上,但男孩又马上站起来;每次将他击倒,他就又站起来。几个回合后,禅师问道:“你认为自己的孩子怎么样?”
“What a shame!” the boy’s father said. “I never thought he would be soeasily knocked down. I needn’t have him left here any longer.”
“真丢人!”男孩的父亲说,“我绝没想到他这样不堪一击。我不需要他再留在这里了。”
“I’m sorry that that’s all you see. Don’t you see that each time he fallsdown; he stands up again instead of crying? That’s the kind of courage youwanted him to have.”
“很遗憾,你只看到了这一点。难道你没看到他每次倒下后并没有哭泣,而是重新站起来了吗?这才是你想要他拥有的那种勇气。”

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

在全国硕士研究生入学英语考试中,阅读理解试题在整个试卷中占很大比重,其重要程度不言而喻。想要提高英语阅读能力,最好的办法就是多看多练。为了提高大家的阅读水平,下面是读文网小编为大家带来考研英语阅读经典美文,希望大家喜欢!
Learning to play a musical instrument can change your brain, with a US review finding music training can lead to improved speech and foreign language skills.
掌握一门乐器能够使大脑发生变化。这是美国的一项最新研究发现,通过音乐训练还能够提高演讲和外语水平。
Although it has been suggested in the past that listening to Mozart or other classical music could make you smarter, there has been little evidence to show that music boosts brain power.
尽管过去就有人提到过听莫扎特或其他古典音乐可以让人变得更聪明,但是并没有足够的证据证明音乐能提高人的智商。
But a data-driven review by Northwestern University has pulled together research that links musical training to learning that spills over into skills including language, speech, memory, attention and even vocal emotion.
如今,美国西北大学的一项研究从数据出发,分析探讨了音乐训练对语言、演讲、记忆力、注意力甚至感情表达等能力的影响。
Researcher Nina Kraus said the data strongly suggested that the neural connections made during musical training also enhanced the brain for other aspects of human communication.
据研究人员妮娜·克劳斯介绍,他们的研究数据充分表明,音乐训练过程中所产生的神经元连接能增强大脑在人际沟通等方面的能力。
“ The effect of music training suggests that, akin to physical exercise and its impact on body fitness, music is a resource that tones the brain for auditory fitness and thus requires society to re-examine the role of music in shaping individual development,”the researchers said in their study.
在研究报告中,这些研究人员这样说道:“与体育锻炼对身体健康的影响一样,音乐能够增强大脑活力,增强听觉的敏锐度。所以我们有必要重视音乐在个人发展中所起的作用。”
Kraus said learning musical sounds could enhance the brain’s ability to adapt and change and also enable the nervous system to provide a scaffolding of patterns that are important to learning.
克劳斯还说,学习声乐能够提高大脑的应变能力,也可以帮助神经系统建立起一个有利于学习的架构。
The study, published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, looked at the explosion of research in recent years focused on the effects of music training on the nervous system which could have strong implications for education.
该成果发表于《神经系统科学自然评论》上,对近几年该领域内的最新研究进行了回顾和分析。这些研究主要关注的是音乐训练对神经系统的影响及其可能会对教育产生的潜在影响。
The study found that playing an instrument primes the brain to choose what is relevant in a complex process that may involve reading or remembering a score, timing issues and coordination with other musicians.
研究发现,演奏乐器能帮助提升大脑从各种复杂的过程中分辨出有价值信息的能力,这一复杂的过程可能包括看谱、记谱,计时或与其他乐师配合等。
“A musician’s brain selectively enhances information-bearing elements in sound,” Kraus said in a statement. “In a beautiful interrelationship between sensory and cognitive processes, the nervous system makes associations between complex sounds and what they mean.”
克劳斯在一项声明中说:“音乐家的大脑能够有选择性地从声音中分辨出载有信息的元素。在感觉和认知的不断交互和融合中,神经系统能把复杂的声音和它们所表达的意思联系起来。”

People who enjoy a dream-filled sleep are significantly better at recalling information and making links between facts when they wake, scientists found.
科学家发现,睡觉爱做梦的人在他们醒着的时候记忆力和关联事物的能力都会显著增强。
But recharging with a shallow nap offers no such mental boost, the research suggests.
该研究同时也声明仅仅是打个小盹就不会产生如此神奇的功效。
The results of the study add to the growing body of evidence that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep is crucial to the brain’s ability to lay down and consolidate memories.
这一研究印证了先前大量证据已经证明了的一个观点,那就是快速眼动睡眠(REM)阶段对大脑巩固记忆的能力至关重要。
An average night’s repose includes four or five spells of REM sleep, but these bursts tend to be lengthier towards the end of the night.
在夜间睡眠过程中,通常会有四到五个周期的REM 阶段。直到天亮之前,REM 间隔周期呈逐渐延长的趋势。
This means that adults who get less than the recommended seven to eight hours a night-and therefore insufficient REM sleep-may be damaging their mind’s ability to form strong memories.
这就意味着,睡眠时间不足7-8 小时标准睡眠时间的成年人无法保障充分的REM 睡眠时间,因此他们形成牢固记忆的能力有可能会受损。
Although REM sleep is not classified as a type of deep sleep, it is only reached after the brain has passed through deep sleep stages.
REM 睡眠并不属于深度睡眠的范畴,只有在经过深度睡眠后,大脑才能进入REM 睡眠阶段。
Scientists have been working on connections between sleep, dreams and brain activity since the REM state was first identified in 1953 by US researchers.
自1953 年美国研究人员首次确认REM 睡眠状态以来,科学家一直致力于研究睡眠、梦境以及大脑活动三者之间的关联。
They found that people woken while their closed eyes made jerking movements recalled much more colorful and elaborate dreams than people woken during other stages of sleep.
他们发现从REM 状态中醒来的人,相对那些从其他睡眠状态中醒来的人来说,更善于记住丰富多彩的梦境的细节。
It is now believed that sleep acts as a sort of mental filing system, enabling the brain to sort relevant information that needs to be retained from useless information which can be discarded.This process may take place as memories are shifted from one part of the brain to others.
现在人们相信,睡眠过程就好比是在大脑内部进行文案整理工作。随着储存的记忆在大脑中进行位置转移,大脑从而对相关信息进行区分——摒弃无用信息,保留有用信息。

The US trade deficit soared in August as surging Chinese imports worsened global economic imbalances and stoked rising American anger with China’s exchange rate policy.
美国8 月份贸易逆差猛增。美国认为从中国的进口激增加剧了全球经济的失衡,引发美国对中国汇率政策的愤怒。
The data, published on Thursday, come ahead of Friday’s release deadline for the US Treasury’s twice-yearly report on exchange rates, in which it has to decide whether or not formally to name China as a currency manipulator. Despite congressional pressure, the Treasury has so far refrained from using the label, arguing that it makes no practical difference to relations with Beijing.
这一数据是周四发布的。星期五美国财政部就要发表一年两度的汇率报告,在报告中财政部必须决定是否要将中国正式列为汇率操纵国。尽管国会施加了压力,但财政部一直避免使用“贸易操纵国”这一说法,称这么做对美中关系没有实质性的好处。
The figures released by the commerce department showed the deficit in goods and services widening by 8.7 per cent to $46.3bn. That figure was the second highest gap of the year, exceeding economists’ expectations. The rise was driven by US businesses stocking up on consumer goods and cars at the end of summer.
美国商务部发布的数据显示,商品和服务贸易逆差扩大了8.7%,升至463亿美元。这是今年出现的第二大逆差,数额之大超出了经济学家的预想。美国企业在夏末增加了消费品和汽车的库存,这是逆差上升的原因。
Exports ticked up by 0.22 per cent to $153.8bn, the highest level in two years, but were outstripped by imports, which jumped by 2.1 per cent to $200.2bn.
美国的对外出口也有小幅度的增加,上浮0.22 个百分点,至1538 亿美元,创两年来出口额的最高水平。但出口增幅明显不如进口,进口增加2.1%,至2002 亿美元。
“The structural US trade deficit continues to persist on the lack of Chinese demand for US exports,”said Michael Woolfolk, analyst, BNY Mellon Global Markets.
纽约银行梅隆全球市场分析师迈克尔·伍尔福克表示,“如果中国对美国出口缺乏需求,美国的结构性贸易逆差将持续存在。”
In August, imports from China rose by 6.1 per cent to a record $35.3bn. That left a US trade shortfallwith its most politically sensitive trading partner at a record $28bn at a time when the US is intensifying its scrutiny of China for creating trade imbalances by undervaluing the renminbi.
8 月份,美国从中国的进口增加6.1%,达353 亿美元,这是个创纪录的数字,使美国与中国这对政治上最敏感的贸易伙伴的逆差额飙升至史无前例的280 亿美元。美国一直以来都在关注因中国不愿让人民币升值而造成的贸易失衡。
Economists expect imports to the US to cool as the end of the year nears because consumer demand remains tepid. Ian Shepherdson, chief US economist at High Frequency Economics, notes that much of the expansion of the deficit in August was due to rising oil prices and a drop in aircraft orders.
经济学家预测,由于消费者需求萎靡不振,美国的进口额将会在年底降温。高频经济学的首席美国经济学家伊恩·谢泼德森指出,8 月份贸易逆差的扩大很大程度上是由于油价上升和飞机订单下降。
The US deficit with China accounts for about half of its shortfall with the rest of the world. US deficits with the European Union, Canada and Japan also widened in August.
美国对华贸易逆差占美国对全球其他所有国家贸易逆差总额的大约一半。8月份,美国对欧盟、加拿大和日本的贸易逆差也有所扩大。

人生哲理是关于人生的根本的原理和智慧,阅读哲理美文能够在阅读之后,感同身受,感悟人生道理。下面读文网小编为大家带来经典哲理美文双语阅读,欢迎大家阅读!
I was sitting outside my new home yesterday (we just moved last week, and we love the new place), watching the world go by.
昨天,我坐在我的新房子外面(上周我们刚搬家,我们都很喜欢这个新地方),看着眼前这个世界匆匆而过。
There were people in cars, in a hurry to get to their next appointment. There were birds flying by, insects just as busy as the people in cars, plants and weeds thriving in the humid Guam climate.
人们坐在车里,急急忙忙赶赴下一场约会。鸟儿飞过,虫儿也像坐在车里的那些人一样忙碌。在Guam(关岛)潮湿的气候下,花草树木茁壮成长。
Inside the house, my children were also busy, as ever, making a mess of the house (which my wife and I would soon clean up), getting into things, their natural curiosity overpowering our previous pleas for them not to play with lotion or take things apart.
房子里,孩子们也忙得很,和往常一样,屋里被弄得乱七八糟(我和妻子一会儿还要打扫清理),对任何事物都感兴趣,他们天生的好奇心让我和妻子实在没办法,丝毫不顾我们之前的告诫,玩洗涤剂,把东西都拆了玩。
The sky was slightly overcast and there was a cool breeze, quite strong and pleasant actually.
天空有些多云,嗖嗖凉风,风力强劲,但确实令人感到舒适。
It’s not often that most of us just sit quietly, and allow the world to pass us by.
我们大多数人,都很少能静静地坐下来,看着这个世界,与我们擦身而过。
Why not?
为什么不能呢?
What is so important that it can’t wait until later? What email must be answered right this moment? Do we really need to read all those articles online, all those messages from others, all those newspapers and magazines? Do we need to have the television and radio and Internet on all the time?
有什么重要的事不能等会儿再做?什么电子邮件一定要此刻回复?我们真的必须要阅读网上所有的文章,别人发来的所有短信,还有所有的报纸和杂志吗?我们需要一直看电视、听收音机、上网吗?
Is life passing us by as we keep our minds super-busy? Are we missing out on the beautiful world around us as we constantly think about the future — what we need to do, our anxieties about what might happen — and the past — what we did wrong, what someone else did to us, what we said, what should have happened?
有没有想过,当我们的大脑疯狂忙碌的时侯,生活正在我们身边悄然离去?我们不断地思考未来——我们需要做什么,我们担忧可能会发生的事——还有,过去犯下的错误,别人对我们做了什么,我们说了些什么,应该发生些什么——有没有想过,所有的这些,令我们错过了身边美丽的世界?
When was the last time you just sat, and observed? Why not do it today?
上一次你坐下来,静观这个世界是什么时候的事了?为什么不今天就付之行动呢?

Alone, we squander life by rejecting its full potential
and wasting its remaining promises.
Alone, we accept that experiences unshared are barely worthwhile,
that sunsets viewed singly are not as spectacular,
that time spent apart is fallow and pointless.
And so we grow old believing we are nothing by ourselves,
steadfastly shunning the opportunities for self-discovery
and personal growth that solitude could bring us.
We’ve even coined a word for those who prefer to be by themselves:
antisocial, as if they were enemies of society.
They are viewed as friendless, suspect in a world that goes around in twos or more
and is wary of solitary travelers.
People who need people are threatened by people who don’t.
The idea of seeking contentment alone is heretical,
for society steadfastly decrees that our completeness lies in others.
Instead, we cling to each other for solace, comfort,and safety,
believing that we are nothing alone—insignificant, unfulfilled, lost—
accepting solitude in the tiniest, most reluctant of slices, if at all,
which is tragic, for it rejects God?s precious gift of life.
Ironically, most of us crave more intimacy and companionship than we can bear.
We begrudge ourselves,our spouses,
and our partners sufficient physical and emotional breathing room,
and then bemoan the suffocation of our relationships.
To point out these facts is not to suggest we should abandon all our close ties.
Medical surveys show that the majority of elderly people who live alone,
yet maintain frequent contact with relatives and friends,
rate their physical and emotional well-being as “excellent.”
Just as an apple a day kept the doctor away when they were young,
an active social calendar appears to serve the same purpose now.

青春奇妙无穷,充满魅力,充满痛楚.青春年少的时候根本不知青春为何物,直到青春一去不复返了才对青春有了真正的认识.谁都想让青春永驻,不忍青春离去;眼睁睁地看着青春流逝,心中会涌起无穷的忧伤和惋惜;青春的失去是人们永远感到悲哀的事;青春的失去是人们真正觉得悲喜交集的事;即便奇迹出现青春复苏,谁都不会心甘情愿重度青春的岁月.
为什么如此?因为在青春时代,生活充满了奇特而辛酸的不可思议的事.我们在青春年少时带着悲喜交集的心情,十分强烈而不可名状地感受到人生的奇特辛酸/不可思议的经历.其实质是什么呢?其实质是这样的:青春年少的时候,虽然殷实富足,却非常贫穷;虽然力气强大,却一无所有;世间的富贵荣华触目皆是,简直可以呼吸到,闻到嗅到,还可以品尝到,心中的自信按捺不住,深切地感受到整个被陶醉了的生活----人类迄今为止所直到的最幸运/最富有的美好幸福的生活,只要我们决定向前迈步,奋发努力,便立即归我们所有了,并将永远属于我们.然而,我们知道,我们真的永远不能抓到什么,永远不能获得什么,永远不能占有什么.一切匆匆过去,荡然无存.我们一出手它就烟消云散,飘然而去,一去不复返了.于是,心中泛起阵阵隐痛,看到了自己真实的面孔,看到了自己未来生活的必然走向.
青年人非常坚强,狂热自信,但容易迷惘混沌,虽然机缘无数,却把握不住,虽然身强体壮,试图冲破重重虚幻的屏障,却如同一个波浪,最终还是无力地消失在旷远浩淼的大海中央,他伸出手想要抓住斑斓的云烟,他想得到世间的万物,渴望主宰一切,最终却是一无所获.最后,他被自己的力量所毁灭,被自己的饥饿所吞食,被自己的财富弄得贫穷潦倒.他对金钱或财富的积累不以为意漫不经心,然而最终还是被自己的贪欲所吞噬.
青春消逝,蓦然回首,无论是谁,心中都会充满无尽的忧伤,充满无穷的懊悔.曾经才智卓越,却白白浪费了,曾经财富殷实,却一无所有,曾经本事高强,却从未利用.一个认识到自己失落青春的人回忆起来总是充满悲伤和懊悔.

Are you dissatisfied with today’s success? It is the harvest from yesterday’s sowing. Do you dream of a golden morrow? You will reap what you are sowing today. We get out of life just what we put into it.
Nature takes on our moods: she laughs with those who laugh and weeps with those who weep. If we rejoice and are glad, the very birds sing more sweetly, the woods and streams murmur our song. But if we are sad and sorrowful, a sudden gloom falls upon Nature’s face; the sun shines, but not in our hearts; the birds sing, but not to us.
The future will be just what we make it. Our purpose will give it its character. One’s resolution is one’s prophecy. Leave all your discouraging pessimism behind. Do not prophesy evil, but good. Men of hope come to the front.

Have you ever been around someone who immediately put you at ease? Perhaps you may be one of those people who others feel safe around.
有没有遇到过那么个人,只要他/她在你身边,你立即就觉得安心?或许你就是让别人觉得安心的那么一个人。
What is the common thread in people who emanate warmth? Some may think it is related to personality or physical appearance. But this does little to explain why bright beacons of light can be found anywhere. Essence has nothing to do with our exterior.
那些气场中自带温暖的人有哪些共性呢?一些人也许认为这与性格或外貌有关。但这基本解释不了为什么明亮的灯塔之光四处可见。本质与我们的外在无关。
I like to believe the common thread is a universal trait we are all able to tap into. When we see the truth of who we are and wholeheartedly love every part of that truth, we automatically shine. When we embrace our essence and live in congruence with who we are, we radiate peace.
我愿意相信这个共性是我们都能够触及的、普遍存在的品质。当我们欣赏自己的本质并全心全意热爱着这一切的时候,我们自然而然就会出类拔萃。当我们欣然接受自己的本质并遵循本心来生活的时候,我们会自带平和的光环。
Every day we can choose to wake up and see the gift of getting to be who we are. When we decide to live from this way of "being," it becomes easy to see this same light and gift in everyone — even those who may not yet see it in themselves.
每一天,我们都可以选择一醒来就欣赏做自己这一项天赋。当我们决定以“本性”来生活的时候,在每个人身上,甚至是那些可能还没有开始欣赏自身本性的人身上,我们变得很容易就能看到同样的光芒和天赋了。
The benefits of self-love are many. What I know to be true without a doubt in my heart, is that we are all capable of giving this gift to ourselves.
自爱的益处有很多。我所知道的真相就是,我们都能赋予自己这项天赋,这一点我深信不疑。
These words help me remember why embracing my essence is always the best thing to do. Perhaps this may resonate with where you are.
这些话让我想起欣然接受自己的本质始终是上策的原因。或许这也会与你产生共鸣。
When you love who you are,
当你爱自己的时候,
you become a conduit of light.
你会成为一道光。
Just drop into your heart space,
只需触及心房,
and live life from this view.
并遵循本心来生活。
For all of this doing
做这一切
is not who you are.
无关你是谁。
Listen to your heart’s soft whisper,
聆听内心轻柔的呢喃,
this voice will show you the way.
她会告诉你方法。
Live life from your essence
遵循本性来生活
is what she will say.
她会这样告诉你。
See the light in yourself,
欣赏自身的光芒,
and your world will be bright.
你的世界都会变得明亮。
There is no need to worry,
没必要担心,
you are exactly as you should be;
你正是自己本来的模样;
remember to love who you are,
记得爱自己,
and love you will see.
爱自己欣赏的一切。

Through the cold winter wasteland a man trudged, leaning into the harsh wind which spitefully tried to force him back. He was covered from head to toe in layers of thick clothing, layers of protection against the harsh environment. On he fought, searching, searching. He was working so hard. This must be the way.
在寒冷的冬季,以为男子在荒地中的前行举步维艰,狂风肆虐几乎要将他吹倒。他从头到脚包裹着厚厚的衣物,用来抵御这恶劣的环境。他不遗余力的寻找着,寻找着,一定有办法。
In the distance he saw what looked like steam rising out of the ground. It rose a few feet and then was quickly whipped away by the biting wind. He altered his course and turned towards the steam, gaining some blessed relief as he turned his chapped face out of the gale.
远远地他看见有蒸汽从地下往上冒,只有短短几英尺。接着狂风拖曳着他往回,他改变了方向超蒸汽那里出发,感谢上天他开裂的脸蛋不再曝露在狂风之中。
As he got closer, he thought he could make out voices. Their tone was unfamiliar to him - musical, relaxed and warm - their melody enticed him closer. Finally he got close enough to peer through the mist.
他渐渐走近,发现自己可以说话了。对方的声音听起来很陌生,但是如同音乐一般让人感觉到放松,温暖。他们的旋律吸引着他不断靠近。最后,在迷雾中他靠近了他们。
There before him was a remarkable sight. In the midst of the frozen wasteland, cut into the ground was a large pool. Several people were in the pool, they seemed to be floating easily without any effort. As they saw him approach, a woman called out to him.
在旅人面前呈现出一个奇妙的场景。在刺骨寒冷的湿地中,地面上有这么大一个池塘。有不少人在其中,毫不费力地在池中飘来飘去。在旅人靠近之时,一位女士叫住了他。
"Come in here. It is lovely and warm. You can just lie back and relax," said the woman.
“进来吧,这里温暖舒适。你可以躺下放松。”女士说道。
"I can't. There are no steps." The man replied.
“我不能,这里都没有台阶。”旅人答道。
"Just jump in. It really is lovely in here. Come on. Theoure's plenty of room for another." Another of the floaters joined in the persuasion.
“只要跳进来就好了,这里很棒,快点,还有不少位子呢。”池中其他人也附和说道。
"But what if I don't like it, how will I get out? The sides are too high to reach up to."
“但是如果我不喜欢这里了,怎么出来?边缘太高很难出来。”
"Believe me, you won't want to get out. Come on. It is so good in here."
“相信我,你不会想要出来的,快点进来,这里真的很好。”
But he decided not to jump in. And that was a wise decision.
但他没有往下跳。而这是个明治的选择。
There're many things and people in life like this pool. They promise you life can be easy.
生活中有很多人和事像这个水池一样,他们像你承诺无忧无虑。
But in fact, they are traps that you can't come back from.
但实际上,他们都是能让你万劫不复的陷阱。
Life is hard. Stay wise. And fight.
生活是艰难的,请保持睿智,并战斗下去。
