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。

她的泪水把信纸全弄湿了。后来一天,有人问起她,“盐咖啡味道怎样?”“味道好极了!” 她回答。下面是读文网小编整理的双语美文:盐咖啡,欢迎大家阅读!
He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he was sonormal, nobody paid attention to him.
At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised but due tobeing polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything,she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, “Please, let me go home...”
Suddenly he asked the waiter, “Would you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in mycoffee.” Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in hiscoffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, “Why you have this hobby?” He replied, “When Iwas a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea,just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think ofmy childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents whoare still living there.” While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That’s histrue feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he mustbe a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home... Then she alsostarted to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.
That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. Shefound that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kindhearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to hissalty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to theprince, and then they were living the happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, sheput some salt in the coffee, as she knew that’s the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said, “My dearest, please forgive me,forgive my whole life’s lie. This was the only lie I said to you - the salty coffee. Remember thefirst time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I saidsalt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the startof our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraidto do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything... Now I’m dying, I afraid ofnothing so I tell you the truth, I don’t like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste... But Ihave had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything Ido for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for thesecond time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drinkthe salty coffee again.”
Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her, “What’s the taste of saltycoffee?” She replied, “It’s sweet.”
Pass this to everyone because love is not to forget but to forgive, not to see but understand,not to hear but to listen, not to let go but HOLD ON!!!
在一个舞会上他遇见她,她那么出众,许多男孩追求她。他却这么普通,没人注意他。
舞会结束后,他邀请她去喝咖啡,她有些惊奇,但,出于礼貌,还是答应了他。他们坐在一家典雅的咖啡厅,他非常紧张,她却并不觉得浪漫,一心在想,“ 请让我回家吧……”
突然他对服务员说,“请给我一点盐好吗? 我要把它加在我的咖啡里。” 咖啡厅里每个人都惊奇地看着他。他的脸红了,却很镇静。他把盐放入咖啡中,并喝咖啡。她好奇地问他,“你怎么有这样的嗜好?” 他回答,“ 小时候我住得离大海很近,我喜欢在海里玩,感觉大海的滋味,就象这盐咖啡的味道。现在,每当我喝盐咖啡,我总是想起我的童年,我的故乡,我思念我依然生活在那里的父母。” 他说到这些,眼泪涌了出来。她深深地感动了,
那是发自他心底的真情一个能够说出思乡病的男人,一定是一个爱家,对家有责任感的人……随后,她也开始说起自己遥远的家乡,她的童年,她的家庭。
那真是一次美好的约会,也是他们故事的一个美丽开端。从那以后,他们继续约会。她发现事实上他是一个能满足她要求的男人:他善良,善于忍受,给人以温暖,又心细。他真是一个好人,她有时非常思念起他来! 真要谢谢他的盐咖啡!
后来,正像每一个美丽的爱情故事,这个公主嫁给了这个王子。他们过着幸福的生活……并且,每次为他煮咖啡,她都加上盐,因为他喜欢。
四十年后他去世了,留给她一封信,信中写道,“亲爱的,请原谅我。原谅我这说了一生的谎言。这是我对你唯一撒谎的一次---就是盐咖啡。记得第一次约会吗,那时我太紧张了,其实我想要一些糖,但却说成了盐。当时我觉得难以改口,只好顺其自然,却怎么也没想到那会是我们交往的开始! 在后来有许多次,我都想告诉你事实真相,但是我有点害怕,因为答应过你事事要说真话。现在我快要去了,我不怕了。所以告诉你,我不喜欢盐咖啡,那味道真是差极了……但是我却喝了一生。自从我认识你,为你做的事,我从不后悔。在我一生中,拥有你是我最大的幸福。如果我能活第二回,我仍想与你结识,并和你在一起,即使再让我喝盐咖啡。”
她的泪水把信纸全弄湿了。后来一天,有人问起她,“盐咖啡味道怎样?”“味道好极了!” 她回答。

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。

We all remember our first days of high-school, college, our first job.
这些场景都历历在目吧:高中第一天,大学第一天,上班第一天。
We all remember the feelings of butterflies in our stomachs when we took our first steps into those positions, the feeling that we were unqualified for what we were doing, that we didn’t belong.
我们都记得迈出第一步时,心中的手足无措,担心自己不够格、担心自己不属于这个地方。
What if my coworkers don’t like me?
要是同事们不喜欢我怎么办?
What if I’m terrible at my work?
要是我做出的工作成果很糟糕怎么办?
What if I mess everything up?
要是我把一切搞砸了怎么办?
These are the thoughts that run through your mind during those first few days as you tiptoe your way around the workplace, being careful that you don’t do anything that will get you noticed, with the fear that when they notice you, you will mess up. But eventually you do get noticed, and you don’t mess up, and soon you develop a rhythm.
这些都是工作的头几天里,脑海中会浮现出的想法。你小心翼翼地在公司里走着,恨不得踮起脚尖,生怕自己的一举一动会引起周围人的注意,生怕自己搞砸一切。然而,你终究还是受到了关注,但你并没有搞砸,并且你很快就找到了自己的节奏。
It has only been a week and you have already fallen into a rhythm. You walk into your workplace and say hello to the receptionist who now knows you by name, you get you morning coffee and strike up a conversation with a coworker who you’ve quickly developed a friendship with. Whereas before you looked around chaotically for the sugar and cream, now the location is familiar and your reach for it instinctual. You walk to your desk, take a rejuvenating sip of coffee, and look over your daily schedule that has become all too familiar to you.
仅仅过去了一周,你的节奏愈发自如。走进公司,你会很自然地和前台打招呼,而他们也叫得出你的名字。取咖啡的时候,你会和同事攀谈起来,不知不觉中你们已经建立了友谊。以前你焦头烂额地到处找糖和奶油,如今你可以轻松自如地找到它们。你走到办公桌前,小啜一口咖啡,一天的活力注满了全身。接着,你从容地翻阅着日程表,里面的内容都已太熟悉了。
You notice a new task that you haven’t encountered before, but you no longer feel uncertainty and fear of messing it up. You have survived a week in this place without messing up, people have congratulated you on how good of a job you’ve done, and you belong here. A smirk creases over your face as you look forward to undertaking this new unproven challenge. The day begins and you fall into your rhythm.
即使接到以前从没接触过的任务,你也会胸有成竹,不再担心自己会搞砸了。你已在这个地方度过了一周,没有搞砸任何事,人们甚至为你出色的绩效而喝彩。你属于这里。所以在准备迎接这个未知挑战的时候,你的脸上露出了一丝得意的笑容。新的一天又开始了,你找到了属于自己的节奏。

Life is good, really good. Sometimes I feel like thegood karma train picked me up, and simply refusesto let me off.
生活不错,很不错。有时我觉得仿佛坐上了一列善有善报 的列车,想下车都不行。
I have an amazing wife, a teenage son that makesme glow with pride, good health, a wonderful familyand the best friends a guy could ask for. I have a lotto be grateful for.
我有个人人夸好的妻子,有个给我脸 上增光的十几岁的儿子,我们身体健康,家庭美满和睦,还有 一帮世上最棒的朋友。我有好多值得感恩的东西。
For many years now, “thank you” has become my meditation as I start each day.
多年来,“感 谢老天” 经成了我开始每一天的默祷词。
But the truth is, life was not always this good. It wasn’t all that long ago, when the resume’ ofmy life looked radically different.
可是事实上,生活并不总是这么美好。就在不久前,我的 人生简历看上去还是迥然不同。
At one time, my life was filled with nearly everything people try to avoid.
曾经一度,我的生活充满了令 每个人都想躲避的东西。
Experiencing everything from unhappy relationships to financial struggles, poor health,depression, and an endless stream of negative habits was a part of my daily life.
从让人沮丧的婚姻,到困窘的经济状况, 糟糕的健康,抑郁的心情和无穷无尽的坏毛病,都是我每天生 活的一部分。
It seemed that no matter how hard I tried, happiness was constantly eluding me anddisappointment became my shadow.
似乎不管我怎么努力,快乐总是躲着我走,而失 望则如影随形。
It also seemed as if I was paving the way for a future that sadly resembled my father’s…until hetook his own life at the age of 54.
而且似乎我在亦步亦趋地把日子过成父亲那样, 他在54岁的时候自杀了。
This was a defining moment for me. Once the shock of losing my father began to fade, clarityand a new sense of purpose became the dominant force in my life.
那一刻成了我人生的转折点,一度失 去父亲所受的打击开始消退,慈善和生活的目标感开始支配我 的生活。
I remember feeling as if I had “met myself” for the very first time while also becomingconscious of my life’s true purpose.
我觉着好像有生以来第一次发现了自己,认识到了生 命的真正目的。
It was in that moment that I had made a major decision. Not only would I change my own life,but I would also make a difference in the lives of others.
从那一刻起,我便做了一个重大决定。我不仅 要改变自己的生活,而且要令别人的生活改观。
Enlightenment and epiphanies can show up in some pretty strange ways. The Buddha found itunder a Boddhi tree, Nelson Mandela in prison and spiritual guru Ram Dass throughpsychedelic drugs.
令人茅塞顿开的灵光会以相当奇特的方式出现。佛祖在菩 提树下悟道;纳尔逊?曼德拉在狱中觉醒;灵魂大师瑞姆?达; 斯则在致幻剂中获得升华。
Little did I know, mine would arrive in the form of a hard-shelled reptile simply trying to crossthe road -- a turtle.
我从未曾料到,我的启示会以一只 试图穿越马路的硬壳爬行动物的形象出现,它是一只乌龟。
But this wasn’t just any turtle, this was the world’s most optimistic one. He was tenaciouslydetermined to cross twenty feet of tar as cars zoomed by at 55 mph.
但这可不是一只普通的乌龟,这是世上最乐观的一只乌龟。 它不屈不挠地打算穿越一条宽20英尺的柏油马路,路上是川流 不息的以时速55英里行驶的车辆。
But today was his lucky day.
可是今天是它的幸运日。
My wife’s quick reflexes not only ensured that “turtle soup” would not be for dinner that night,but her act of kindness would eventually become the foundation for everything I teachtoday.
我 妻子的快速反应不仅保证了它不会以“乌龟汤”的形式成为今 晚的餐桌一景,而且她接下来的善举还成就了我今天要讲述的 一切的基础。
As unusual as this sounds, the simple act of pulling our car over, removing this little turtlefrom harms way, and placing him back into the wild, caused something extraordinary tohappen inside of me.
这听上去要多玄有多玄,一个简单的将车停到路边, 把这只小乌龟救离险境并将之归还给大自然的举动引发了我内 心深处一场惊天动地的变革。
As I stood there holding this tiny creature in my hands, a wave of pure joy came over me. Itwas that warm, teary-eyed sensation that we feel during life’s greatest moments; like falling inlove or the birth of a child.
当我站在那里,手捧着这个小生命, 一种纯粹的喜悦感席卷了我。那是一种温暖的催人泪下的感觉, 往往发生在人生最伟大的时刻,比如坠入爱河,比如婴儿降生。
I honestly felt as if my heart was completely opening up as everything stood still around me. Inno way would I have described it as “enlightenment”, but there was no doubt about it—helpingthis little turtle just felt so damn good! But why? After all, it’s just a turtle, right?
我真的觉得我的心完完全全地向着我周围静止的万物开启。我 不想把这称之为“启示”,但它又千真万确就是一一帮助这只小 乌龟感觉真是太棒了!可是,为什么会这样?它终究不过是一只乌龟嘛,是吧?
And then it hit me. I finally realized what was happening. At that point, a flood of inspiringthoughts surged through me.
然后事情发生了。我终于明白自己顿悟到了什么。彼时彼刻, 思想的潮水汹涌而至。
I walked back to the car, opened my journal and wrote eight words that would later prove to belife changing for me: “kindness creates happiness” and “live a life of kindness”. It was theanswer I had been looking for. The secret to inner peace and lasting happiness was kindness.
我走回车里,打开笔记本,写下8个字, 事后证明这8个字成为了我的人生转折点:“善生乐”,以及“人 生须行善”。这就是我孜孜以求的答案。内心宁静和永远快乐的 奥秘就是善?
Not “random acts of” or simply being nice, but rather as...a way of life. I had already knownthe benefits of kindness through studying many eastern philosophies, but I had never actuallyconsidered it as a lifestyle.
不是“偶尔为之”或简单发发善心,而是变成一 种生活方式。我已经通过研究许多东方哲学知道了善的妙处, 但从没想过要把它变成一种生活方式。
But, this day was just beginning…
可是,这一天来临了。
Just thirty minutes after my mini-epiphany, my wife and I arrived at our original destination—a country garden show. After walking around for just a few minutes, a gentle faced 60-something looking man waved me over to the front porch of his farmhouse, for no apparentreason.
就在我小小顿悟完毕的30分钟后,我和妻子到了原定的目 的地,那是一个乡村花园展览所。四处走了一小会儿 一个60 岁左右的慈眉善目的男人在他的农舍门前向我挥手,好像没什 么明显的理由。
The entire setting was like a scene out of an old movie -- weathered rocking chairs -- the smellof cookies baking -- and a coon cat that looked as old as the farmhouse itself. “Let her lookaround, come and sit with me” he said.
这一幕完全像是老电影中的场景:老旧的摇椅, 烘烤糕点的气息,一只看上去和农舍一样老的长毛猫。“让她随 意走走,你过来坐坐。”他说,
I had no idea what to expect, but as I sunk into the large wicker chair beside him, I couldn’thelp feeling that he was going to say something profound.
我不知道将要发生什么,但当我坐进他身旁那张宽大的藤 椅里,不由觉得他会对我说些意味深长的话。
After all, if a turtle can change my life, why not a wise old farmer? After a brief hello and apolite introduction, we simply sat in silence and let the sunlight warm our faces.
毕竟,要是一只 乌龟都能改变我的人生,为什么一个睿智的老农不能呢?
After what seemed like an eternity, he finally spoke. “You know” he said, “I’ve often thoughtthat the meaning of life is making things a little bit easier for those around us , what do youthink?”.
简单 寒暄之后,我们都静静地坐着,阳光温暖地照着脸庞。好像过 了—辈子那么久,他终于开□了。“你瞧,”他说,“我常以为, 生命的意义是让周围的人过得好一点,你说呢?”
I was speechless. It felt like I had just been hit on the head again with life’s big karma stick.
我哑口无言。 好像脑袋上又挨了人生的一记闷棍。
He went on to tell me his version of “the secrets to life” and how “true happiness can only befound by loving and serving others”.
他继续跟我说起他理解的“人生奥秘”,和“真正的快乐只能从关爱和服务他人中获得'
Finally he finished with, “oh, and don’t forget…you really gotta’ love the one you’rewith...yourself ”.
最后他说,“喚,别忘了……你必须得爱你与之相伴的那个人, 就是你自己”。
Life was obviously trying to tell me something. In the days and weeks that followed, the worldlooked completely different to me.
显然,生活会让我领悟到些什么。随后的几天和几个星期, 整个世界在我眼中完全变了模样。
The more I studied and tested my “kindness creates happiness” theory, the more I was blownaway by its life-changing power.
我越是研究和验证我的“善生 乐”理论,我越是为它那改变人生的力量所倾倒。
I realized that most of my disappointments in life were simply because I had been unkind toothers and especially to myself.
我发现生活中 绝大多数失望都是源于我对别人的不善,尤其是对自己的不善。
After spending much of my life thinking “what’s in it for me”, my new inner mantra became; “Am I being kind?”. This one simple question changed my life. So, whenever I feel the need todisagree with my wife, lash out at a rude employee in the mall or even before I shove tencookies into my mouth, I go within and ask; “am I being kind?”. These four little words havebecome my source to inner peace.
花了大半辈子琢磨人生的意义,我的新灵魂咒语变成,“我 有没有为善?”这个简单的问题改变了我的生活。当我想和妻子 争论的时候,当我想对粗鲁的商店售货员训斥的时候,甚至当 我想往嘴巴里狂塞饼干的时候,我都会自问,“我有没有为善广 这几个字成为我内心平静的源泉。
It has created many positive changes in me such as recycling and acting more “green” andconsciously respecting all of life. I even stopped setting the mousetraps in the garage. (Mywife is going to kill me when she reads that last one).
它在我内心生出许多好的变 化,比如循环再利用资源,做环保人士,而且有意识地尊重一 切事物。我甚至不再在车库里安置捕鼠器(我妻子要是读到这 最后一句可能会杀了我)。
Another big change in my life was the irresistible urge to perform “spontaneous acts ofkindness”. Things like buying coffee for strangers and giving money to the homeless justseemed natural. Each kind act felt like a blissful surge of energy through my chest.
另一个大变化是我控制不住地要去做 “自然而然的善行”。比如给陌生人买咖啡,把零钱给流浪汉等, 这样的行为做起来是那么自然。每个蕃行都好似一股幸福的能 量在我胸膛里汹涌澎湃。
But what became even more exhilarating were the intense feelings of warmth towardseveryone around me -- especially difficult people. Whether there was someone who acted rudein traffic or an inconsiderate person in line at the grocery store, I no longer felt anxious oroffended -- I simply wished for their happiness. That’s when I realized what it truly meant to beliving kindness.
但最让人愉快的是对我周围每一个人 的强烈的亲切感,尤其是对那些坏脾气的人。不管是粗野无礼 的司机,还是食品店排队加塞的家伙,我不再觉得焦灼不安或 是怒不可遏,我只是希望他们能快乐。那是当我明白了人生须 行蕃的真意之后。
All thanks to an unexpected turtle crossing the street, that one day.
所有这一切,都要归功于那天的一只不期而至穿过马路的乌龟。

Love is no ordinary thing. It is not voluntary, but when it begins, you will know.
爱不是一件普通的事情。它不是随意的,在爱产生的时候,你会知道。
There are three types of love. Infatuation, love of family, and love of your spouse.
有三种类型的爱:糊涂的爱,家庭的爱,夫妻的爱。
Infatuation, most commonly known as “Puppy Love”, is basically love at first sight.
Infatuation can be the beginning of a future spouse love. Though most often infatuation doesn’t amount to much.
众所周知,糊涂的爱是一种不成熟的少年男女之间的爱慕,基本上属于一见钟情。这种爱可能是将来夫妻之爱的开始。不过,这种爱通常不重要。
Love of family is loving your mother and father, and any siblings you may have. You want to protect them, watch over them, and fill their lives with an unbounding joy. The parents have an innermost feeling for their children, which in my case, they express everyday.
家庭之爱是对你的父母和你的兄弟姐妹的爱。你想要保护他们,照看他们,让他们的生活充满无限的欢乐。父母内心深处对他们的孩子充满了感情,就我来说,这种感情父母每天都会表现出来。
Love of your spouse means loving someone you are married to. Whether husband or wife, you support your spouse with a deep modesty, and you treat them with great respect.
夫妻之爱意味着爱你结婚的人。无论是丈夫或妻子,你发自内心地支持你的配偶,给他们以最大的关心和尊重。
Being possibly the most trivial question of all time, this is one hard question to ask.
爱可能是有史以来最平常的一个问题,也是一个让人很难回答的问题。
Love means to care, to protect, to watch over, to pray for, to make sure the loved person is happy. But to tell you the truth, those are all parts of love. Not love itself.
爱意味着关心、爱护、照顾和祈祷,确保你爱的人快乐。但说实在话,这些都是爱的组成部分,不是爱的本身。
So, I will tell you what I think of love. Love has a meaning, but we will never know. Many philosophers have tried, but all their attempts have failed. Every single one of them!
因此,我告诉你我对爱的看法是什么。爱具有一种含意,但是,我们永远不知道这种含意。许多哲学家试图弄懂它的含意,但他们的各种尝试全都失败了,他们每一个人都失败了!
Love is not a bond, or a relationship, but more of a heart to heart conversation. When the conversation grows, the bond and relationship forms. Therefore, love creates the bond and relationship.
爱不是一种结合,或一种关系,它更多的是一种心灵和心灵的交谈。当这种交谈不断发展时,结合和爱情关系就形成了。因此,爱能导致结合和爱情关系。
Still, that leaves us with the main question, what is love?
尽管如此,还是留给了我们一个重要的问题,什么是爱?
Okay, so I told you the three types of love. But I still haven’t told you what love is. I told you a definition, a heart to heart conversation, but does that tell you much? No. So, I will put it straight.
不错,我告诉了你3种类型的爱。然而,我还没有告诉你爱是什么?我告诉过你一个定义:爱是心灵与心灵的交谈,但是,这个定义告诉你爱的全部意义了吗?没有。因此,我将坦率地谈一谈什么是爱。

It's going to be a chaotic day.
将会是混乱的一天。
How do I know? It's Monday.
你怎么知道?因为是周一。
OK, joking.
好吧,我在开玩笑。
But, I do predict that today will be filled with the normal last-minute tasks,fire drills, and unforeseen events.
但是,我敢预言今天会出现紧急情况,处理紧急情况,以及不能预见的事件。
So, how do you keep yourself from being swept away in the stream of chaos?
因此,你要怎样将你置于混乱潮流之外?
How do you remain calm while others are rushing and panicking?
当别人都在匆忙做事,恐慌时你打算如何保持平静?
There's a Problem… Panic!
这有一个问题…恐慌!
When things don't go as planned, how do you react?
当事情无法按计划进行时,你打算怎么办呢?
Are you the calm one who works to fix things?
你会是那个平静做事的人吗?
Or the one running around like Chicken Little screaming that the sky is falling?
或者是那个小鸡似的尖叫,跑着像天要塌下来一样?
Getting upset or alarmed can seem like natural reactions to a problem.
失望,惊恐似乎是遇到问题时的自然反应。
Here are a few tips to help you remain calm in the face of the storm:
以下几点建议可以帮你在遇到突发情况时保持冷静:
·Don't Panic– You are better able to find a solution if you aren't panicking. If you can keep your head when others are losing theirs, you will be able to make a clear decision in the chaos.
不要惊慌-没有惊慌时最好能找出解决办法。如果在别人不够清醒时,你还能保持头脑清醒,你就能在混乱中做出一个明确的决定。
·There Aren't Many True Emergencies - My time as a Naval Officer taught me about true emergencies. In the military, when there is a problem, people can get hurt or die. This is not usually the case when the office copier or email server goes down. Keep things in perspective. There are very few true emergencies in life.
没有那么多的紧急情况-在我还是海军的时候,海军军官就教我有关的紧急情况。那段时间,有问题发生的时候,要么是受伤,要么是死亡。办公室复印近或邮件服务器出问题的情况也不频繁。事情总在预期范围内。生活中很少有紧急情况发生。
·Less Talking, More Doing - Many people will spend time talking about the problem. Be the one thatdoessomething about it. I have seen executives talkabout problems while their entire company burned down. Stop critiquing the fire and grab a bucket of water.
少说,多做-很多人会花很多时间讨论这些问题。做一个做事的人。我曾看到过,整间公司在遭遇火灾时,高管人员还在高谈阔论。停止高谈阔论,提水灭火。
·Avoid the “Fight or Flight” - When you are stressed, your body will want to go into “fight or flight.” Your body was designed to keep you safe from danger, but its natural reflexes aren't always the best solution against a project gone awry. Keep your emotions in check and ensure that your physical reflexes don't make bad decisions for you.
避免“战斗或者逃跑”-有压力的时候,身体会想要“战斗或是打架”。你的身体生来就是为了保证你的安全的,但是对某件事来说,身体本能的反应并不总是最好的解决办法。整理情绪,确保本能的反应不会做出不好的决定。
·Head Into The Problem– While everyone else is running away, true leaders walk into a problem. Sticking your head in the sand only makes things worse. Instead of trying to ignore the situation, get to the heart of the issue as soon as possible. Only then can you address it.
解决问题-当他人在逃跑的时候,真正的领导者会了解问题。逃避只会让情况越来越糟,与其忽视这些问题,还不如尽可能地解决核心问题,只有这样才能够解决问题。
How Will You React?
When you find yourself ready to lose it, take a step back.
发现自己要失去它的时候,后退一步。
Ask, “Is this truly an emergency?”
问,“这是真的困难?”
Keep your head when others are losing theirs.
当其他人都头脑混乱的时候,请保持头脑清醒。
And you'll find that you are that much closer to a solution.
你会发现你会更接近解决问题的办法。

Who is setting your standards for you?
是谁来为你制定你的生活标准呢?
A true story has it that one elder man decided to jog around the local high school football field. As he huffed and puffed along, the team was in practice. The players soon started running sprints up and down the field. The man told himself, “I’ll just keep running until they quit.”
有这样一个真实的故事:一位年长者决定到当地中学的足球场去慢跑。当他喘着粗气跑步时,足球队正在训练。很快,那些队员们便开始从操场的一端跑到另一端练习全速冲刺。年长者对自己说:“他们停了我才停。”
So he ran. And they ran. And he ran some more. And they kept running. And he kept running until he could finally run no more. He stopped in exhaustion. One of the players, equally exhausted, approached him and said, “Boy, I’m glad you finally stopped. Coach told us we had to keep running as long as the old guy was jogging!” He was watching them. They were watching him. He was letting them set his standard. They allowed him to set theirs.
于是他不停地跑。他们也不停地跑。他还在跑,他们也继续跑着。他一直到彻底跑不动了才停下来。他精疲力竭地停了下来。其中一个队员,也累得精疲力竭,走过来对他说:“老兄,我很高兴你终于停下来了。教练告诉我们只要那个老家伙还在慢跑,你们就得继续跑下去!”他看着他们,而他们也在看着他。他任由他们设定了自己的标准,而他们却把决定权交予了他。
My question is this: Are you keeping pace with somebody else? Are you allowing other people to set your standards for you? What about your standards, or principles, for moral behavior? Or guidelines for what kind of attitudes you want? Do you keep pace with those around you, or do you decide yourself just how you will live your life? The truth is... only you are qualified todetermine what your standards will be.
我的问题是:你是在跟着别人的节奏吗?你是在让别人来设定你的标准吗?那么你自己在道德水准上的标准和原则呢?你想采取什么样的态度准则来对待生活呢?你是跟着周围的人的节奏呢,还是自己决定你的生活呢?事实是……只有你自己才有资格决定你的标准是什么。
Set your standards too low, and you’ll know only discontent. But set high standards and you can live an immeasurably full and worthwhile life. For only when you reach for the best that is within yourself, will you experience great living.
将你的标准定得太低,你只会感到不满。但将标准定得高一些,你就会过得无比充实和满足。只有当你达到自己内心的最高境界时,你才能过得很好。
Who is setting your standards?
是谁在制定你的标准呢?

老螃蟹觉得不安了,觉得全身太硬了,自己知道要蜕壳了。
An old crab grew restless. Finding himself stiff all over, he knew it was time for him to moult his shell.
他跑来跑去的寻。他想寻一个窟穴,躲了身子,将石子堵了穴口,隐隐的蜕壳。他知道外面蜕壳是危险的。身子还软,要被别的螃蟹吃去的。这并非空害怕,他实在亲眼见过。
He dashed here and there in search of a cave to hide. He was going to block up the mouth of cave so that he could moult in secret. He knew it would be very dangerous to shed his shell in the open because, with his new shell still being soft, he might be eaten up by other crabs. This fear was not groundless for he himself had really seen it happen to other moulting crabs.
他慌‘慌张张的走。
The old crab kept moving about in a hurry.
旁边的螃蟹问他说:“老兄,你何以这般慌?”
A nearby crab asked, "Hey, brother, what's the rush?"
他说:“我要蜕壳了。
"I am going to moult," answered the old crab
“就在这里蜕不是很好么?我还要帮你呢。
. "Wouldn't it be all right to moult right here? I could help you out with it."
“那可太怕人了。
"How horrible that would be!”
“你不怕窟穴里的别的东西,却怕我们同种么?”
"You mean while you'll not scared of other things in the cave you're scared of your own kind?"
“我不是怕同种。
"No, I'm not scared of my own kind."
“那是怕什么呢?”
"Then what are you scared of?"
“就怕你要吃掉我
"Nothing but being eaten up by you."

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cans of beer.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else—the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'
The beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers with a friend.
当你发现生活中的事情似乎总做不完,一天24小时仍不够用的时候,别忘了蛋黄酱罐子和两罐啤酒。上哲学课前,教授站在讲台上,面前放着一些东西。一上课,他不先讲课,而是拿出一个很大的空的蛋黄酱罐子,并往里面放高尔夫球。然后,他问学生:“罐子装满了吗?”学生都说:“满了”。
然后,教授拿起一盒砾石投入罐子里。轻轻地一摇,砾石就滚进高尔夫球间的空隙。然后,他又问学生:“罐子装满了吗?”学生依然回答:“满了”。
接着,教授又拿起一盒沙子倒入罐子里。当然,沙子可以填满其他所有的间隙。他又问:“罐子装满了吗?”学生一致地回答:“满了”。
后来,教授又从桌下拿出两罐啤酒,打开倒进罐子里,更好地填满沙子间的间隙。学生们笑了。
等到笑声落下,教授说:“现在,我要让你们认识到这个罐子象征了你们的生活。高尔夫球代表的是重要的东西-家庭,孩子,健康,朋友和兴趣爱好。即使你失去其他所有的东西,但只要还拥有这些,你的生活仍然丰富多彩。
砾石代表其他重要的东西(除上面提到的外),如工作,房子及汽车。
沙子则代表其他一些次重要的东西。他接着说:“如果你先把沙子倒入罐子里,就没有空间容纳砾石和高尔夫球了。生活也如此。如果你把所有的时间和精力放在小事情上,那么你不可能做那些有重要意义的事了。
请留意那些与你幸福相关的事情:多花时间陪孩子和父母,与祖父母聊天,做健康检查,与爱人共进晚餐,还有做其他有重要意义的事。你总会有时间来打扫房子和改变布置的。把高尔夫球放在首位,也就是把真正重要的事情放在首位。确定了重要的事情,其余的就是“沙子”。
这时,一个学生举手问道:“老师,那啤酒代表什么呢?”
教授笑着回答:“我很高兴听到你提问这个问题。啤酒是告诉你,不管你的生活看起来多么丰富多彩,它仍有容纳朋友的空间。”

My catastrophic car accident had left me unconscious and in critical condition. I awakened to find both legs swathed in casts , the left one in traction to aid the healing of a broken hip and pelvis. While I had other serious injuries, my legs were my prime concern. I couldn’t imagine being confined, let alone an invalid.
灾难性的车祸使我失去知觉,而且情况危急。当醒来时,我发现自己的双腿已打上了石膏二左腿拉着牵引,以帮助髓骨和骨盆愈合。虽说身上还有其他重伤,但我最担心的还是这两条腿。我很难想像自己被困在轮椅上。更不用说变成残废了。
Lying in bed motionless and relying on prayer , I wondered how I could give my ten-year-old son hope that Mom would heal. He'd been cheerful on every visit , but I saw the fear in his eyes. He needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever.
我躺在床上,动弹不得,只有依靠祈祷来支撑,我不知道如何能让10岁的儿子对他母亲的康复抱有希望。他每次来探视我都很愉快,但我从他眼中看到了恐惧。他需要希望的光芒:他的母亲不会一辈子坐在轮椅上的。
Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach what to do when adversity strikes. But I wasn't just being altruistic.It didn't take me long to become impatient with my limited mobility.
我想,我可以用这次亲身经历来告诉人们,当灾难降临时该如何去面对。但我并非无私。很快我便对自己备受限制的活动失去了耐心。
At first, I taught myself to move from the bed to the wheelchair. I made tiny movement for weeks, and I reached a point where my arms were strong enough to swing me into the chair. Once sure I could return myself to the bed from the wheelchair, I began to tackle a walker.
起初。我学会了自己从床上挪到轮椅上,做到这一点花了我数周的时间。一直锻炼到我的手臂有足够力量能将我的身躯撑到轮椅上去。当我肯定能从轮椅回到病床上时,我开始尝试使用助行架。
Every night in my private room , I would maneuver myself from the bed to the floor, holding on to the bed rail for dear life, and slowly putting my weight on my feet. After several weeks of these ever so difficult efforts , my strength and confidence continued to build. So came the ultimate challenge: alternating and moving my feet one inch at a time. I knew one thing for certain: there would come a day when the wheelchair would be gone and I would walk.
每天夜里,在我的单人病房中,我开始慢慢练习,把自己从床上挪到地板上,拼命抓住床的横杆,慢慢地站起来。几周如此艰苦的努力之后,我感到自己的力气和信心都在不断增长。然后便是最后的挑战:两条腿交替着向前挪动,一次挪一英寸。我坚信不移:总有一天,我会甩掉轮椅,自己走路。
It came the time to share my accomplishements with the person important to me. One night, my son arrived for his regular visit, when I heard him greet the nurses at the station, I dragged myself up. As he opened the door , I took a few small steps. Shocked, he could only watch as I turned and started back to bed. All of the pain, the fear, and the struggle faded as I heard the words I had longed to hear, "Mommy, you can walk!"
和我生命中最重要的人分享成就的时刻终于到来了。一天晚上:我儿子照例来探视我。当我听见他和值班护士打招呼时,我奋力站了起来。当他开门时,我向他挪了几小步,他震惊了,竟只能呆呆地看着我转身回到病床。当我听到许久以来一直渴望听到的话:“妈妈,你能走路了!”所有的疼痛、恐惧和挣扎痛苦顿时一扫而光。
I am now able to walk alone, and none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy offered by those four little words spoken by my son.
现在我已能够独立行走。最让我感到满足和喜悦的莫过于从我儿子口中说出的那几个字。

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双语,希望大家喜欢!
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。

When you had fallen to the bottom of your life, every people around you would tell you: Be hard-bitten and be happy!
在你跌入人生谷底的时候,你身旁所有的人都告诉你:要坚强,而且要快乐。
To be hard-bitten would be necessary, but be happy? Even in that serious occation? That would be hard for you, after all, who could keep happy while he were head-broken and bleeding.
坚强是绝对需要的,但是快乐?在这种情形下,恐怕是太为难你了。毕竟,谁能在跌得头破血流的时候还觉得高兴?
But you should at least keep calm, calmly facing and calmly treating.
但是至少可以做到平静。平静地看待这件事,平静地把其他该处理的事处理好。
If you have obtained the calmness, without happy and without unhappy, you then have possessed the power for rebirth.
平静,没有快乐,也没有不快乐。能做到这一点,你就已经有了复元的能量。

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love. One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave .
从前有一个岛,所有的情感都住在那里:幸福、悲伤、知识和所有其它的,爱也不例外。一天,所有的情感听说小岛即将沉没,因此建造小船,纷纷离开,除了爱。
Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.
爱是唯一留下来的,因为它希望能坚持到最后一刻。小岛即将沉没了,爱决定请求帮助。
Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, can I come with you on your boat?" Richness answered, "I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
富有驾着一艘大船从爱身边经过,爱说,“富有,你能带上我么?”富有回答说:“不行,我的船上载满金银财宝,没有你的地方。”
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing by in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please!" "I can't help you," Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
虚荣坐在漂亮的小船中从爱身边驶过,爱问:“虚荣,你能帮助我么?”虚荣说:“不行,你全身湿透,会弄脏我的船。”
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you." Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."
悲伤的船靠近了,爱问:“悲伤,请带我走吧。”“哦……爱,我太难过了,想一个人呆着。”
Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, "Happiness, please take me with you." But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him.
幸福经过爱的身边,它太开心了,根本没听见爱在呼唤。
Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed1 and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.
突然,一个声音喊道:“来,爱,我带你走。” 声音来自“年老”。爱太高兴了,甚至忘了问他们即将去何方。当他们来到岸上,年老自己离开了。爱突然意识到“年老”给了它多大的帮助。
Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?" "It was Time,' Knowledge answered. "But why did Time help me when no one else would? "Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.
于是,爱问另一位老者——知识:“谁帮助了我?”知识说:“是时间。”“时间?”爱问:“但是时间为什么帮助我?”知识睿智地微笑道:“因为只有时间了解爱的价值。”

我们的青春并不会一帆风顺,困难和挫折会一直陪伴着我们的成长,因此我们需要阅读励志的美文来鼓舞我们前进。下面读文网小编为大家带来青春励志双语美文阅读,希望大家喜欢!
Man's youth is a wonderful thing: it is so full of anguish and of magic and he never comes to know it as it is, until it has gone from him forever. It is the thing he cannot bear to lose, it is the thing whose passing he watches with infinite sorrow and regret, it is the thing whose loss with a sad and secret joy, the thing he would never willingly relive again, could it be restored to him by any magic.
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。
Why is this? The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so evident as in our youth. And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which we feel so poignant , so unutterable, with such a bitter pain and joy, when we are young? It is this: that being rich, we are so poor; that being mighty, we can yet have nothing; that seeing, breathig, smelling, tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth, feeling with an intolerable certitude that the whole structure of the enchanted life – the most fortunate, wealthy, good, and happy life that any man has ever known – is ours – is ours at once, immediately and forever, the moment that we choose to take a step, or stretch a hand, or say a word- we yet know that we can really keep, hold, take, and possess forever- nothing. All passes; nothing lasts: the moment that we put our hand upon it , it melts away like smoke, is gone forever, and the snake is eating at our heart again; we see then what we are and what our lives must come to.
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----人类迄今为止所知道的最幸运、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。
A young man is so strong, so mad, so certain, and so lost. He has everything and he is able to use nothing. He hurls the great shoulder of his strength forever against phantasmalbarriers, he is a wave whose power explodes in lost mid – oceans under timeless skies, here-aches out to grip a fume of painted smoke, he wants all, feels the thirst and power foreverything, and finally gets nothing. In the end, he is destroyed by his own strength, devoured by his own hunger, impoverished by his own wealth. Thoughtless of money or the accumulation of material possessions, he is none the less defeated in the end by his own greed a greed that makes the avarice of King Midas seem paltry by comparison.
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。
And that is the reason why, when youth is gone, every man will look back upon that period of his life with infinite sorrow and regret. It is the bitter sorrow and regret of a man who knows that once he had a great talent and wasted it , of a man who knows that once he had a great treasure and got nothing from it , of a man who knows that he had strength enough for everything and never used it.
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。

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?

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。”

职场如战场,需要我们时刻保持警惕才能不被社会淘汰,下面读文网小编为大家带来职场双语美文阅读,欢迎大家阅读!
Whether you are in a career you hate or happily forging on with the dream job, you’ll have to put up with politics and personalities, so you might as well change careers and enjoy the things you do, right?
无论你正处于厌恶的职位中,还是在奋勇地追求梦想职业,你都得忍受各种办公室政治和人际关系的破事,所以不妨改变当前的职业,做些自己喜欢的事情,对吗?
No matter how much you love the field you are in, some BS is going to come your way – some BS that will prevent you from doing passionate, productive work you were born to do. However, if you truly love what you do, weathering those storms will be far easier than if you are sitting in.
无论你多么喜爱自己所在的行业领域,在职业的旅途你总会遇到一些流言蜚语,其中有一些会消耗你的热情,阻碍你去完成天赋所在的工作。然而,如果你真的非常热爱自己的工作,那么经历这些狂风暴雨就会比你投入工作容易得多了。
But, let’s look on the bright side: the wonderful emotional advantages age and experience that can help you navigate that new career with ease and efficiency.
不过,不妨考虑一下光明的前途:你的优势年龄与经验,都有助你在新的行业里得心应手。
1.You see the big picture.
1.你能观全局。
Whereas at 25 you’d steam, fume and gnaw your teeth because your boss is now telling you “we should do X” – the very X you were trying to convince him to do months ago, because a coworker speaks over you in meetings and aggressively tries to take over your area of expertise…now you just don’t care. Or perhaps you care a bit, but you let it go.
虽然在25岁的时候,你可能会因为这些事情感到生气,愤怒,咬牙切齿:老板告诉你“我们应该做XX事”(而这件XX事在几个月前你已经向他请求过了),或者同事在会议上带有挑衅的意味地声称取代你的工作。不过时至如今,你已经早已毫不在乎了。也许你有点在意,但你已经让它过去了。
Your boss gives you a great career opportunity, that thieving coworker is, after all, a friend and a future reference. These are people who will in the end consciously or unconsciously admire you more for staying mature in the face of their blatant IP theft. So, you let people have little things, and you focus on the grand things to come.
你之所以能让事情过去,是因为你能通观全局:只有老板才是给你职业机会的人,而那个带有剽窃倾向同事,不管怎么说都只是一个朋友或将来的参照物。这些人到最后会有意无意欣赏你处理这种公然窃取知识产权事情的成熟。所以,你能正视别人的小动作,并且专注在更重要的事情上。
2.You are emotionally mature.
2. 你心理成熟。
By now, people’s petty hangups, insecurities, and gossip don’t irritate you anymore. If you are not a negative person or don’t want to be a part of the gossip circle, you know how to elegantly rebuff requests to join in. Perhaps more importantly, you know that your career and life don’t depend on it.
就目前看来,人们的琐碎烦恼,不安全感,以及闲言碎语都不会让你忿忿不平了。如果你是一个积极阳光的人,或者你不想加入八卦的行列,你就懂得如何优雅地拒绝请求。也许更重要的是,你很清楚你的事业与生活完全不需要赌注在这些琐事上。
You also know that most people are a bit insecure, and that their coping mechanisms are going to be all over the place. The professional world is one big kindergarten. You smile, stay nice, and go back to doing a great job.
你也知道大多数人都有点缺乏安全感,并且不管何种场合他们的应对机制都会显示出来。专业领域就像一所规模庞大的幼儿园。你微笑,待人友好,然后回归本职出色地完成工作任务。
3.You know how to say no.
3. 你懂得如何拒绝他人。
When I was younger, I had a boss who worked so hard that her lips would turn blue from cold in the room (it was so late that the heating got turned off), and who would not eat for 7 or 8 hours because she ate two meals a day. Subconsciously, regardless of the fact that I was paid far less, and an hourly employee at that, she expected the same kind of “devotion” from me. And I was dumb enough to follow, which left me exhausted and with no life outside of work.
在笔者更年轻的时候,我遇到一位非常卖力工作的老板,甚至还能看到她的嘴唇冷得发紫(因为到了晚上,中央加热系统就会关闭),她不像平常人一样每隔7到8小时就会进食一次,她每天只吃两顿。我隐隐感觉到,虽然我的薪水远远不如她,作为一名时薪制的员工,她所期待我的“付出”应与她一样。而我当时也很单纯,就按照老板的吩咐,这使我筋疲力尽,生活除了工作还是工作。
Nowadays, I say it when I need a break, even if it is, God forbid, twice a day. I am able to demand a work style that makes me most efficient, and won’t break me in the long run. I also know that I am likely not going to get fired over this. The worst that can happen: some tension and a few passive-aggressive jokes. Or getting fired. Which is better than being blurry eyed, inefficient, and, ultimately, unhappy at your job.
时至今天,我会在需要休息的时候跟老板说,尽管客观条件不允许,我也争取一天两次小憩。我有能力调整工作模式让自己更有效率,也免于在长期的工作中损害自己。我也很清楚我不会因此而逃过被解雇命运。最坏的结果就是:压力和带有负面色彩的玩笑话。或被解雇。不过这总比视力模糊,工作效率低下,以及最终讨厌这份工作好多了。
4.You know your worth.
4. 你清楚自己的价值。
The first months/year(s) in the new career are hard. You know you are smart and talented, but many won’t get it (it takes smart people to know smart people, and many people you’ll encounter are not that smart). That’s OK. You have your ego in check, and you march on, slowly introducing your ideas in a friendly manner, making alliances with the right people, and letting your ability naturally shine through. This versus the dissatisfaction of the yesteryear, when all that injustice felt personal, disheartening and insurmountable.
刚刚转行加入新公司的前几个月(或前几年)确实是困难的。你知道自己很能干有才,但很多人并不买账(因为能干的人惺惺相识,但很多你遇到的人并没有那么能干。)这也没有关系,你重新检视自己,勇往直前,以友好的姿态从容地介绍你的想法,与对的人结交朋友,你的能力就自然而然散发光芒。这样你会感到相比前一年那些让你感到针对个人的不公平,打击与压制都截然不同了。
5. You know how to manage people.
5. 你懂得处理人际关系。
It’s just how it is: people around you are not always going to be professional or mature. There’ll be those who yell. There’ll be those who want a constant companion, not a colleague. There’ll be those who respond well to an open conversation and removing tensions in a mature way, and there’ll be those who’d rather flex the boss muscle or constantly poke at you with borderline unprofessional comments. You in your 20s? Exasparated and frustrated. You now? You choose your battles – mentally file your nails during yelling, introduce boundaries to wannabe-best-friend, and even put people in their place as needed. Gently. It’s kindergarten, after all.
情况是这样的:身边的同事并不都是专业或成熟的。他们都有可能成为大嘴巴的人。他们可能成为你的长期伙伴,但不是同事。他们可能会就开放性的问题给你一个很好的回应,并以成熟的方式缓解你的压力,也有可能拍老板的马屁或常常用不专业的言论攻击你。如果是20岁的你会怎样?怒火冲天或伤心沮丧。如今的你呢?你懂得选择战役——对待这些不实言论心里有数,向他人表明你的底线是成为好友,甚至让那些人回归自己的位置上。优雅地。毕竟,只是个幼儿园嘛。
Now, I am not saying that any of the situations above are going to be easy. Some days it will all be harder than others, and some days you will, yet again, curse the fate that put you in your dream career later in life. But that’s all temporary – after all, you have also learned to breathe, exercise, confide in the right allies, and move forward with your chosen career.
It is, after all, “The War of Art”:
最后,我的意思并不是说以上所有的这些情况都很容易处理。有时候还会更困难,不过有一天你会印证自己必须改变职业的命运。不过那些都只是暂时性的,毕竟,你还得学会如何透气,锻炼,与对的盟友并肩作战,以及在自己所选的事业向前进。
这就是,“艺术的战争”
“The professional endures adversity…He reminds himself it’s better to be in the arena, getting stomped by the bull, then to be up in the stands, or out in the parking lot”.
”专业的人能忍耐变故,因为他能常常提醒自己,宁可身处竞技台,被凶猛的公牛践踏,也总比站在高台或停车场上置身事外来得有意义。”
