摘录:A man, i believe, must have courage and fortitude and a burning sense of justice, too. There are times we should turn the other cheek, but there are likewise times when we must fight the good fight.
by WARD GREENE
When a man is ten, he has a boy's faith in almost everthing: even Santa Claus is a belief he is not quite ready to give up so long as there is a chance the old gentleman may really live and deliver. When a man is twenty, he is closer to compete disillusion and stronger conviction than he will probably ever be in his life.
This is the age of atheists and agnostics; it is also the age of martyrs. Jesus Christ must have been a very young man when he died on the cross; Joan of Arc, they say, was only nineteen as the flames consumed her. It is in the later years---oh, anywhere from thirty to fifty---that a man at some time stands with the tatters of his hopes and dreams fallen from him and asks himself:"What, indeed, do i believe?"
He is very apt, then, to cling to the words of other men who have written for him the shadow signposts that come as anything to poiting pathways he found best in the past and roads he will trust on the way ahead. These words may be mere copybook maxims: that honesty is the best policy, or haste makes waste. They may be alone from Shakespeare---
"To thine own self be true"---or from the bible---"All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them"---or from the poets" i myself am Heaven and Hell". They may seem a sort of hodgepodge in a man's mind, yet they can make a pattern not inconsistent and not weak.
So if i believe that i myself am Heaven and Hell, that anything less than honesty to myself and others is a boomerang on them and me; if my translation of the Golden Rule is simple acts of kindness and understanding and compassion, practiced in the hope that they will be shown to me, then i have a way of life that is a sort of unselfish selfishness. The bald statement may sound cynical, but if i can follow that way, i shall not be too unhappy here and i may face death with regret but an untroubled face and a stout heart.
But there are blocks and pitfalls in a way of life, even assuming that a man can adhere to it steadfastly despite his own inclinations to deviate. These obstacles are the work other men who adhere to other ways. Hence kindness and compassion are not enough.
A man, i believe, must have courage and fortitude and a burning sense of justice, too. There are times we should turn the other cheek, but there are likewise times when we must fight the good fight. When? Well, if a fellow can't find the answer on the signposts or in his heart, i guess he has just got to pray.

摘录:希望具有魔力,它可以使在绝望边缘的人找到寻找光明的力量。生活经验告诉我们不要对昨天感到惋惜,因为昨天已成为过去,并且是我们无法控制的。明天是未知的,因为它有可能带给你光明,也有可能带个你阴霾。因此,我们所能做地就是今天努力工作,以求更好的明天。
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but it achieved by showing your smiles and transferring them to others can be lasting and get a certain sense of achievement. We,as a human being, should be aware of the importance of gratitude. Gratitude is the source of happiness or in other words, it is irrational to take others’ solicitude and love for granted
唯物主义中所说的快乐是短暂性的,但是当你把微笑传递给他人时,此时快乐就会变的持久,并且你也会有成就感。作为一个人,我们应该要意识到感恩的重要性。拥有一颗感恩的心是快乐的来源,换句话说,当你把别人对你的关心和爱看成是理所当然的时候,此时的你是不理性的。
We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically coming out when something is out of your plate like death of a loved one, failure and despair. However,all these matters are temporary and could pass away with time going by.
当处于痛苦中时,我们就会意识到快乐的重要性。当一些不如意的事情发生的时候,比如所爱的人的离世,人生中的失败和绝望,此时,你会感到痛苦。但是,这些痛苦的记忆都是短暂的,随着时间的过去,这些事情也会消逝。

摘录:设定界线,你就会在爱中成长。爱自己,也爱他人,足以阻止他人打破同情的自然规律。爱他们足以让他们感受到自己的行为产生的后果。这是我们每个人接受教训的唯一的方式。这样一来,你提高了心理素质,也就反映出神圣临在你内心的无条件的爱。
Over the last few years, as I've grown spiritually, I've discovered that letting others hurt me, and excusing them, hurt them as well. My intentions were to make them feel better about themselves. I was trying to reflect the Divinity within me by loving unconditionally. When my friends would snap at me, I'd tell myself they didn't mean it, that they were simply unhappy. Returning anger and hatred with love and compassion, I let my friends treat me like dirt because I knew they were wounded. I wanted them to heal, and thought my loving them unconditionally would initiate the healing. It never did. It just encouraged them to remain wounded and lashing out at me.
In co-dependency terms, this is called “enabling.” Some time back, when I was told that it wasn't my role to be their whipping boy, I countered with “But, we're supposed to turn the other cheek. Give the shirt off our backs. Love unconditionally. Be nonjudgmental.” As time went on, I finally realized that I wasn't helping them by letting them hurt me. I was enabling them to remain the same, and continue treating me with disrespect because they knew they could.
过去几年里,随着心理的逐渐成熟,我发现,如果任由他人伤害自己,还替他们辩解,也会同样伤害他们。我原来是希望他们能够自己醒悟,因而努力以无条件的爱来表现内心尽善尽美的神意。当朋友怒气冲冲地指责我时,我会对自己说他们不是有意的,他们只是不开心。我以爱和同情心回报朋友的愤怒和怨恨,任由朋友们视我如草芥,因为我知道他们的心灵受到了伤害,我希望他们能痊愈。我认为自己赋予他们的无条件的爱能起到疗伤的作用,却从未奏效。他们的伤势依旧,而且因为受到鼓励更加无情地攻击我。
在互相依赖地情况下,这叫“赋能”。过去有段时间,只要有人对我说,做他们的替罪羊不是我的责任,我就反驳道,“可是,我们应该容忍,应该慷慨大方,应该无条件地爱,应该客观地评判。”随着时间的推移,我终于认识到,任由他们伤害自己,不是在帮助他们,而是在赋予他们一如既往,继续无礼地对待我的权力,因为他们知道对我无礼没关系。
I wasn't creating any urgency for them to heal. And sooner or later, they were going to get a cosmic two-by-four up side the head to force them to begin the healing process. The longer they continued their behavior, the worse their eventual crisis would be. I was actually contributing to their woundedness by not setting any limits. I needed to value myself enough to stop them devaluing me. As I began to cherish my well being, and counter their humiliations, my life began to improve overall.
I know I'm not alone in the struggle between loving others unconditionally and loving myself. Many of the people I meet, and my clients, struggle with this, too. How can we balance our spirituality with insisting someone treat us with honor? With God as a loving Presence, God accepts all that we do without judgement. As we try to emulate that aspect of God, we forget that God doesn't protect us from the consequences of our actions.
我没有让他们意识到需要和解的急迫性。而他们迟早会分清是非,迫使自己开始设法和解。他们的这种行为持续的时间越长,最终的结果越危险。我没有阻止他们,实际上就是伤害了他们。我应该充分地尊重自己,以阻止他们继续贬低自己。于是,我开始珍惜自己的幸福,而且驳回他们的羞辱,从此我的生活得到了全面改善。
我知道,不只我自己在无条件地爱别人和爱自己之间举棋不定。我遇到的很多人,包括我的顾客,也为此而与自己的良心做着斗争。我们坚持让别人尊重自己,又如何平衡自己的心灵呢?上帝是爱的典范,他不加评判地接受我们所做的一切,而当我们努力效仿上帝的高姿态时,却忘了上帝对我们行动的后果并不负责任。
If we step on a rake, we get to experience the rake hitting us in the face. We learn from that to be careful around rakes. God doesn't stop the rake from hitting us, but if we ask for help in healing our bruised face, God is there to heal us. That is why there is cause and effect. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is to help us learn from our mistakes.
The core of this is, God doesn't enable. The Universe is constantly growing and expanding. Unless we do the same, we get prodded along. Cosmic two-by-fours whack us. When you allow people to put you down, humiliate you, belittle you, then you are contributing to making their inevitable consequences harder for them. Universal laws will eventually pull them up short, and the more they've run roughshod over peoples' lives, the harder their lesson is going to be.
如果我们踩上一把耙子,就会得到耙子打在脸上的教训,由此懂得看到耙子要小心。上帝并不能阻止耙子打击我们,不过,如果我们在治疗受伤的脸时请求帮助,上帝会帮助我们。这就是有因有果的原因。对于任何行动,都会有相同或对立的反应,使我们得以从错误中吸取教训。
其精髓在于,上帝不允许。宇宙在不断地成长壮大。除非我们也随之成长壮大,不然就会受到激励。违背直觉就会受到沉重的打击。如果你允许人们奚落你,羞辱你,贬低你,那么,你就是在协助他们让不可避免的恶果带给他们更冷酷的打击。自然规律最终会令他们突然停下来,他们越无情地对待别人,自己得到的教训就越严重。
By setting boundaries, you are growing in love. Love of self, and loving the other person enough to put a stop to their breaking Universal Laws of compassion. Love them enough to allow them to experience the consequences of their actions. That's the only way any of us learn. In that way, you are emulating high spiritual qualities and reflecting the unconditionally loving Divine Presence within you.
设定界线,你就会在爱中成长。爱自己,也爱他人,足以阻止他人打破同情的自然规律。爱他们足以让他们感受到自己的行为产生的后果。这是我们每个人接受教训的唯一的方式。这样一来,你提高了心理素质,也就反映出神圣临在你内心的无条件的爱。

Life is like a box of chocolate, you never konw what you are gonna get.
生活就像是你面前的一盒巧克力,结果往往出人意料。
It includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learningprocess. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With eachpassing day, we learn to handle various situations.
生活中有快乐难过,有成功失败,也会经历充满希望和绝望的时候。它就像是一个学习的过程。在生活中所积累的经验,给了我们新的认知,从而完善自己。随着一天一天的过去,我们学会了处理生活中出现的各式各样。
Happiness and Sorrow
快乐与痛苦
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but it achieved by showing your smiles and transferringthem to others can be lasting and get a certain sense of achievement. We,as a human being,should be aware of the importance of gratitude. Gratitude is the source of happiness or inother words, it is irrational to take others’ solicitude and love for granted
唯物主义中所说的快乐是短暂性的,但是当你把微笑传递给他人时,此时快乐就会变的持久,并且你也会有成就感。作为一个人,我们应该要意识到感恩的重要性。拥有一颗感恩的心是快乐的来源,换句话说,当你把别人对你的关心和爱看成是理所当然的时候,此时的你是不理性的。

当处于痛苦中时,我们就会意识到快乐的重要性。当一些不如意的事情发生的时候,比如所爱的人的离世,人生中的失败和绝望,此时,你会感到痛苦。但是,这些痛苦的记忆都是短暂的,随着时间的过去,这些事情也会消逝。
Failure and Success
成功和失败
there is a motto:” failure is the mother of success.” Failure is untwined with success.It helps usto touch the sky, teach us to survive and show us a specific way to handle the complicatedmatters we are in face with in the daily basis.Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on shoulder.
有一句名言:“失败是成功之母”,失败和成功是紧密联系的。它帮助我们体验生活,教我们如何生存,并且在处理日常生活中遇到的复杂事情时,给予了明确的解决方法。随之成功而来的是金钱,名誉,自豪,和尊重。此时,保持头脑清醒时非常重要的。
Hope and Despair
希望和绝望
Hope is magic that pulls people out of the edge of despair and gives them the energy to go fora bright future.Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyondour control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the onlyalternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
希望具有魔力,它可以使在绝望边缘的人找到寻找光明的力量。生活经验告诉我们不要对昨天感到惋惜,因为昨天已成为过去,并且是我们无法控制的。明天是未知的,因为它有可能带给你光明,也有可能带个你阴霾。因此,我们所能做地就是今天努力工作,以求更好的明天。

以下是读文网小编整理的哲理类英语美文欣赏:你可以选定一种解释, 希望对你有所感触。
Two trains are traveling side by side and at the same speed along parallel tracks. We areseated in one of the trains, and with us we have a special speedometer that measures theirrelative speed. Since the trains are traveling at the same speed, their relative speed is zero; thespeedometer therefore reads "0."
两列火车以相同的车速并排地沿着两条平行的轨道往前行驰。我们坐在其中的一列火车上带着特制的速度测量仪,可以测出两列火车之间的相对速度。因为这两列火车是以相同的车速前进的,所以二者的相对速度是零;因此,测速仪上的读数为“0”。
Suddenly the other train seems to start pulling ahead of ours. The speedometer shows areading of 10 miles per hour. The other train has apparently increased its speed. But can we beabsolutely certain of this increase?
突然间另一列火车使我们觉得好像是开始赶到我们所乘坐的火车前头去了。这时测速仪上显示出来的读数是每小时10英里。很显然,另一列火车已经加快了速度。但是,我们能不能肯定是另外那辆火车加快了速度呢?
If your answer is yes, you are wrong. You are wrong because all that we know is that therelative speed between the two trains changed from 0 mph to 10 mph. Nothing more. Thischange could have been brought about in one of two ways:
如果你回答说是的,那你就错了。你之所以是错了,我们所知道的仅仅是这两辆火车之间的相对速度由每小时0英里增加到了每小时10英里。仅此而已,这车速的变化很可能是由于下列两种原因中的任何一个原因所造成的:
The other train increased its speed.
另一列火车增加了车速。
Our train decreased its speed.
我们的火车降低了车速。
There are thus two possible explanations to account for the change in speed, but we don'tknow which one is right. Furthermore, regardless of which explanation we choose, the endresult will be the same: the other train will arrive at the station first. So it makes no differencewhether we say that the other train increased its speed or that our train decreased its speed.
因而对于车速的改变就可能有两种不同的解释,但是我们不知道哪一种解释是对的。进一步来说,不管我们选定了上述两种解释中的哪一种,反正最终的结果是同样的:另一列火车将首先抵达终点站。所以,不论我们说另一列火车加快了车速,还是说我们所乘的火车减慢了车速,实际上这两种说法没有什么区别。
Since both explanations lead to the same result, you can choose either one. Whenever twothings are relative, you can choose either one of them. The converse is also true: wheneveryou have a choice between two things that are equally possible, then the things are relative.
既然上述两种解释会导致同样的结果,那么你选定任何一种解释都可以。不论任何时候,只要两件事物两种情况是相对的,那你就可以选定其中一种解释。逆真理亦真,每当你从有同样可能的两件事物中选定其中之一时,那么这两种事物之间就是相对的。
There is no reason, except convenience, for choosing one explanation over the other. Therelative speed between the trains remains the same, 10 mph; and the end result will be thesame.
除为了方便这个理由而外,我们选定了一种解释而不选另一种解释根本就没有其他别的原因。如果两列火车之间的相对速度依然相同,都是每小时10英里,那么最终的结果也会是相同的。
Now let's suppose that both trains are at the railroad station loading and unloading passengersand baggage. A half-hour passes. As we look at the other train through our window, we seethat our train seems to start moving, smoothly and slowly. For a minute or so, our train seemsto travel at a uniform speed. Our special speedometer shows that the relative speed betweenthe two trains is 20 mph. But as we look out our window, we suddenly see the last coach ofthe other train disappear from sight and notice the motionless station behind it. So we are notmoving after all. The other train has been moving!
现在我们假设两列火车都在火车站上在上下乘客或装卸行李。过了半小时以后,当我们透过车窗看另一列火车时,我们看到我们所乘的火车好像是在缓慢地平稳地开始开动了。约有一分钟左右,我们所乘的火车似乎是在以均匀的速度向前运行。我们特制的测速仪显示这两列火车的相对速度是每小时20英里。但当我们往窗外一看,这才突然看见另一列火车的最后一节车厢从我们的视野中正在消失,于是我们看到那一列火车后面留下的是不动的火车站。所以,我们所乘的火车根本就没有开动。原来是另外一辆火车在开动!
This peculiar and often frustrating experience is an effect of relative motion. At the train stationwe cannot tell whether it was our train that changed its speed from 0 mph to 20 mph orwhether it was the other train that changed its speed from 0 mph to 20 mph. Only after theother train pulled out of the station could we see that it, and not our train, was moving.
这种奇特的而又经常使人沮丧的经历就是相对运动所产生的效应。在火车站上我们辨别不出是不是我们所乘坐的那一列火车把车速从每小时0英里改变成每小时20英里。只有当另一列火车驶出火车站之后,这我们才能明白原来是它在开动,而不是我们所乘坐的这列火车在开动。
Now let us again raise the question that was raised at the beginning of this article: can we beabsolutely certain that the other train did indeed increase its speed, and in this case pull outof the station?
现在让我们再次提出本文开头所提出过的那个问题:我们能否绝对肯定确实是另一列火车加快了车速,在此情此景驶出了火车站呢?
If your answer is yes, then you are wrong again. All we can be certain of is that the relativespeed between the two trains changed.
如果你回答说是的,那么你就又错了。我们所能够完全肯定的一点只是这两列火车之间的相对速度变了。
These examples illustrate an important principle in the special theory of relativity. If A appearsto be moving at a steady speed relative to B, we cannot know for sure if it is A that is reallymoving. Perhaps A is standing still, and B is moving. Or perhaps both are moving. According torelativity, there is no experiment that can be devised to solve the problem. As there is no wayof deciding which of the two objects is moving, we can choose either one as the moving object.The reason is that their motion is relative, and relativity, as we have seen, means that we havea choice.
这些例子阐明了特殊的相对论中的一个重要的原理。假如我们觉得A似乎是在用相对于B的一种很均匀的速度在移动,我们就不能肯定地确切知道是否就是A在真的移动。也许A仍在原地不动而是B在移动。或者,AB两者都在移动。根据相对论的说法,根本就不能构想出任何一个实验去解答这个问题。因为根本没有办法来确定这两个物体中哪一个物体在移动,所以我们可以把两个物体中的任何一个物体认定是在移动着的物体。理由就是他们的运动是相对的。正如我们所理解的那样,相对论就意味着我们可以选用一种解释了。
This principle - that if two objects are in uniform motion relative to each other, it isimpossible to decide which one is moving and which one is at rest - applies to all objectsmoving uniformly in a straight line through the universe.
如果两个物体在以相互间相对的同等的运动速度在运动,若想判定哪一个物体在动,哪一个物体原地不动,这是不可能的。这一原理适用于整个宇宙中凡是作直线等速运动的一切物体。
In relativity you'll find that whenever you have a choice among things that are equally possible,you are dealing with relative things. For example, time, which is measured with clocks andwatches, is relative because it can be shown that there is more than one system of time. Allsystems of time are equally possible and you can choose any system you with.
按着相对论的说法你就会发现,每当你在众多同样可能的事物中需要选定一种解释时,你就是在跟相对的事物打交道。例如,时间,虽然能用钟表加以测量,也是相对的,因为有不止一种时间体系可以来表示时间。所有的时间体系都同样有可能表示时间,所以你可以选用你所喜欢的时间体系来表示时间。

Inside the Russian Embassy in London a KGB colonelpuffed a cigarette as he read the handwritten notefor the third time. There was no need for the writerto express regret, he though. Correcting thisproblem would be easy. He would do that in amoment. The thought of it caused a grim smile toappear and joy to his heart. But he pushed awaythose thoughts and turned his attention to a framedphotograph on his desk. His wife was beautiful, hetold himself as he remembered the day they weremarried. That was forty-three years ago, and it hadbeen the proudest and happiest day of his life.
在伦敦的俄国使馆,一位克格勃上校一边吞云吐雾,一边读着一张手写的字条,这已是他第三次在读这张字条了。便条的作者不必表示遗憾了,上校这样想着。纠正这个错误其实很容易。他只要一会儿工夫便会做到。想到这里,他的脸上不禁浮现出一种可怕的笑容,他内心深处既伤感而又快活。上校从沉思中游离出来,将注意力集中到桌子上的一个像框上,他的妻子是位美丽的女人,当想起他们成婚的那一天时他不禁自语道。那已是43年前的事情了,可却是他一生中最自豪最幸福的日子。
What had happened to all that time? Why had it passed so quickly, and why hadn't hespent more of it with her? Why hadn't he held her close and told her more often that he lovedher? He cursed himself as a tear came from the corner of his eye, ran down his cheek, thendropped onto the note. He stiffened and wiped his face with the back of his hand. There was noneed for remorse or regret, he told himself. In a few moments he would join her and at thattime would express his undying love and devotion.
那些时候都发生了什么?为什么时光流逝得如此之快?为什么他没能将更多的时光用来陪伴她?为什么他没能将她搂紧,更多次地告诉她他爱她?他于是开始诅咒起自己,泪水也忍不住夺眶而出,流过面颊,最后滴落在字条上。这时,他板起了面孔,用手背揩去了眼泪。已经没有必要来自责与悔恨了,他对自己说道。很快他不就会与她团聚了吗?到那时,他将再向她表达他永恒的爱与忠心。
After setting the note ablaze he dropped it into an ashtray and watched it burn. For a timethe names cast moving shadows on the walls of the darkened room, then they nickered anddied out. The colonel dropped the cigarette to the floor and ground it out with his heel, thenclutched the photograph to his breast, removed a pistol from his pocket, placed the barrel inhis mouth and pulled the trigger.

Some say the name “Long John” traces back to a boxing ring.
有人说“秋裤”这个名字是跟随拳击服饰命名的。
John L. Sullivan was an American heavyweight champion who began his career in the late 19th century, during the bare-knuckle boxing era. Famous not only for his fighting style, Sullivan was known to sport a one-piece union suit (a long sleeve garment that buttoned up in the front with a convenient hatch in the back.) As the story goes, this attire became his trademark and the union suit became known as the “Long John.”
约翰·L·沙利文是一位美国重量级拳击手冠军,他在19世纪末——不戴拳击手套的打拳年代里就开始了他的职业生涯。他出名不仅仅是因为他的打法,众所周知,他参加比赛时都会穿连体服(连同前面全身包裹的长袖衣服,背部有个方便的开口)。随着消息流传,这种打扮变成了他的标志,而且连衫服也进化成了“秋裤”。
Chances are you won’t catch modern day boxers, or any athlete for that matter, practicing in long underwear but that doesn’t mean that today’s performance base layers—like our Men’s ClimateSmart collection—didn’t take their cue from the union suit.
有可能你不再关注今天的拳击手,或者其他运动员的这种穿连衫裤的打扮,但是这也意味着今天的基础服——比如男人的ClimateSmart牌子——有从他们的连衫服里获得灵感。
Long Johns were a soldier essential during World War II.
秋裤在二战时期是士兵的必备。
A staple of the American soldier’s uniform, Long Johns kept our boys on the front lines warm during harsh weather conditions. However, being designed in wool, they did pose problematic. At times, the garments kept the soldiers almost too warm, causing them to sweat excessively.
作为美国士兵必备的战服,秋裤让我们前线的男孩们在恶劣的天气里得以保暖。不过,羊绒的设计让他们行动不便。有时,秋裤让士兵们太暖和了,会让他们热到出汗。
The fabric also made for itchy skin, adding to the discomfort. As the use of these garments increased among the public at home, these issues became more of a challenge and the long road to finding the right fabrication began, with manufacturers testing fibers from luxurious silk to lasting buckskin.
这种面料也会引起皮肤瘙痒,穿着更不舒服。随着这种服装在平民家里也渐渐多了起来,这些个不便变得更加麻烦,而寻找真正合适面料的漫漫长路开始了,制造商们测试了从奢侈的丝绸,到传统的鹿皮等各种纤维。
Today, layers are often designed with moisture wicking fibers for added comfort and warmth. Cuddl Duds not only feature wicking fabrication in some of their collections but also design details like moisture wicking waistbands, breathable mesh panels, and odor control for both men and women; to keep you dry, cool, and cozy.
如今,灯芯材料的水性好的纤维被用于秋裤的生产,从而增加舒适度和保暖度,Cuddl Duds不仅仅在他们的产品里加了灯芯材料,还为男女款设计了像吸水性能好的灯芯腰带,透气网孔还有气味控制;会让你保持干燥,凉爽,舒适。
However antiquated the idea of Long Johns might seem, most of us are a wearing a design evolution of them when we layer up or down throughout the year. So, the next time someone pokes fun at long underwear, join the conversation and impress them with your newfound knowledge.
然而,陈旧的秋裤创意也许过时了,这些年我们中的大部分人都穿着新潮设计的秋衣裤。所以,下一次有人拿秋裤取笑你,加入这场对话,并用你新学的知识震震他们。

摘要:一位作家在六年前为了改善她的油腻枯软的发质,决定不用洗发水洗头发,日前她透露了这样做的原因。一起来看一下为什么把。
A writer has revealed why she stopped washing her hair six years ago after embarking on a quest to try and control her greasy, limp locks - by avoiding shampoo.
一位作家在六年前为了改善她的油腻枯软的发质,决定不用洗发水洗头发,日前她透露了这样做的原因。
New Yorker Sarah Theeboom was inspired to give up using products on her hair after she ran into an old friend whose once dry, frizzy locks were smooth and shiny. When Sarah asked for her secret, her friend explained that she had simply stopped shampooing, opting to partake in the apparently-popular 'no poo' movement, which Sarah had never heard of until that moment.
纽约作家莎拉之所以放弃使用洗发水,是因为有一次她偶遇一位老朋友,发现朋友原来干燥卷曲的头发变得非常顺滑光亮。萨莎向朋友讨教秘诀时,朋友说她只不过加入了“对洗发水说不”的活动没有再使用洗发水而已,那时候莎拉对这个活动还一无所知。
'I wasn’t in love with it, and I just didn’t really know what to do,' she told Seventeen. 'I wanted to try my friend’s trick and stop shampooing.'
她说,“起初我并不喜欢这么做,我只是不知道还有其他什么更好的方法可以改善发质,所以我想要试一下朋友说的那种方法。”
Although her friend warned her that her scalp and hair would go through a nasty adjustment period, Sarah wasn't prepared for the dandruff and excessive amounts of grease that she first experienced after she first started shunning shampoo during a three-week vacation to Thailand.
虽然朋友提醒过莎拉不用洗发水的初期,头皮和头发肯定得经历一段难熬的适应期,但莎拉还是对大量的头皮屑和油脂不知所措,而那会儿她正在泰国进行为期三周的旅行。
Sarah recalled that during those first few weeks her hair was the 'greasiest' it had ever been.
莎拉回忆起刚开始不用洗发水的几个星期里,她的头发简直油腻到了极点。
'I was so embarrassed that I didn’t want to show my head to anyone,' she explained.
“那时候我觉得尴尬,不想让任何人看到我的头发。”
Despite the fact that she 'almost cracked' and went back to shampoo, she forged on with her mission.
虽然莎拉差点崩溃到想重新用洗发水洗头发,但最终她还是坚持下来了。
After vacation she started wrapping her hair with headbands every day. When she showered she would wet her hair and scrub her scalp with her fingers. And even though her boyfriend was critical of the idea, Sarah explained that, by this point, she 'felt committed' to her cause.
旅行结束之后,莎拉每天用头巾裹住头发出门见人。每回洗澡她只是把头发弄湿然后用手指抓一下头皮,她男朋友对此无法理解,莎拉就慢慢解释给他听,这个时候她已经觉得自己快要完成自己的头发事业了。
It took six weeks for her hair to feel somewhat normal again and then another six weeks of her hair looking 'so-so' before the 'magic happened'.
六周之后她觉得自己的头发又恢复到了正常状态,又过了六周她的头发宛若新生。
'I started to see what my natural hair was like when I wasn’t constantly doing stuff to manipulate it,' Sarah explained. 'It was silky and wavier and totally frizz-free.'
莎拉说:“我开始仔细观察我的头发在自然状态下是什么样子的,它们如丝般顺滑,一点也不毛躁。”
The 'no poo' movement has gained popularity over recent years because of celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Shailene Woodley, Adele and Jessica Simpson who have revealed that that they avoid washing their hair for days - and sometimes months - on end.
“对洗发水说不”的活动近年来越来越流行,因为如金·卡戴珊,谢琳·伍德蕾,阿黛尔和杰西卡·辛普森等很多明星都透露他们会好几天甚至好几个月才洗头发。
Because it is no longer considered a ludicrous concept, Sarah said that she typically doesn't have a problem sharing her hair secret, but she did note that sometimes she will come across someone who just doesn't get it.
因为不用洗发水已经不再被认为是什么荒.唐的观念,所以莎拉说她在分享自己的护法秘密时也不没有出现什么问题,但是有时候还是会遇到一些人不理解这种做法。
'I don’t think shampoo is evil or bad for your hair...' she said. 'I still have good hair days and bad hair days, but overall, my hair looks and feels so much healthier.'
莎拉说:“我并不认为洗发水没有一点好处或是会对我的头发会造成伤害,现在我不用洗发水发质也依然是时好时坏,但总体来说,我觉得头发比以前健康多了。”

摘要:和食物有关的习惯可以反映出一个人性格脾气和行为趋势。看看你是属于哪种吃饭类型,从而解读自己的个性特征吧!
The Slow Eater
After everyone else has finished their meal, you'll find this person plodding along, eating one little bite at a time. When sitting down at the table, the slow eater takes his or her sweet time -- and is always the last person to finish the meal.
慢食者
大家都吃完饭了,你会发觉这人还在慢吞吞地进食,每次就吃一小口。慢食者坐下吃饭时,尽享美好时光——也总是最后一个吃完的人。
Slow eaters are usually people who like to be in control and know how to appreciate life. They also tend to be confident and even-keeled. There are some real health perks to being a slow eater. Slow eating has been shown to be associated with decreased energy intake, increased satiety, and higher pleasantness ratings of meals.
慢食者通常喜欢把控,也知道如何感激生活。他们通常自信满满、四平八稳。当个慢食者真真切切有益健康。据悉,慢食者能量摄入少、更容易满足,对菜肴评价也更高。
The Fast Eater
快食者
There's a good chance you or someone else in your family fits the description of the fast eater -- and if you grew up with a fast eater, you probably developed a habit of fighting for seconds. This person tends to barrel through meals, cleaning the plate before the rest of the table has finished even half of their meal.
很有可能在你家,你自己或者其他人就符合快食者的形象描述——而且,要是你和一个快食者一起长大,你估计已经养成了吃饭争分夺秒的习惯。这个人通常就餐时囫囵吞枣、匆匆下饭,同桌人饮食饭菜一半还没吃完,他就已经净盘了。
Away from the table, fast eaters tend to be ambitious, goal-oriented and open to new experiences, but they may also have a tendency to be impatient.
餐桌之外,快食者更有可能雄心勃勃,目标明确,乐于经历新事物,但他们也通常容易急不可耐。
The Adventurer
冒险者
The adventurous eater is always looking for the next gastronomic adventure. When it comes to food -- and probably other areas of life -- this person is a thrill-seeker and a risk-taker.
冒险型食客总是在寻求下一场美食历险。论及食物,或者生活中其他领域,这样的人寻求刺激、承担风险。
Being an adventurous eater shows one's openness to trying new things outside of one's comfort zone.
当个冒险食客,显示出一个人乐于尝试新事物,敢于迈出自己的舒适地带。
The Picky Eater
挑食者
This person may never have grown out of their childhood likes and dislikes, or the tendency to turn up his or her nose at an unfamiliar cuisine. This eater can often be found asking a waiter if the dish can be served without sauce or with dressing on the side.
这类人或许从来就没有走出孩童时代的喜好,容易对不熟悉的菜肴嗤之以鼻。常常会看见这样的食客问服务员这菜可不可以不加酱料就端上来,或者把调味料加在一边。
Research on 'food neophobia' -- the reluctance to try new foods -- shows that it is related to certain personality traits, including sensation seeking, anxiety, and neuroticism. Those high in food neophobia appear to associate many avoided foods with a sense of disgust.
“新食物恐惧症”——即不乐意尝试新食物是研究发现:这和特定的性格特征有关,如寻求感官刺激、易焦虑和神经过敏等。新食物恐惧症高发人群易于把规避的食物和嫌恶联系在一起。
The Isolationist
孤立主义食客
The isolationist, one of the more unusual eating types, approaches the plate methodically, eating one food item in its entirety before moving on to the next.
孤立主义者是更为鲜见的饮食类型,有条不紊地进食,完全吃完一种食物才接着吃下一种。
This behavior conveys a task-oriented personality versus a multi-tasking individual. Also, it conveys a disciplined and border-line stubborn tendency to complete one task before moving on to another.
这种行为习惯体现了任务为导向的性格,而非多任务作业的个体性格。此外,这体现出纪律严明、界限分明、执拗固执的行为趋向,得完成了一项任务后才能继续下一项任务。

摘要:两列火车以相同的车速并排地沿着两条平行的轨道往前行驰。我们坐在其中的一列火车上带着特制的速度测量仪,可以测出两列火车之间的相对速度。因为这两列火车是以相同的车速前进的,所以二者的相对速度是零;因此,测速仪上的读数为“0”。突然间另一列火车使我们觉得好像是开始赶到我们所乘坐的火车前头去了。这时测速仪上显示出来的读数是每小时10英里。很显然,另一列火车已经加快了速度。但是,我们能不能肯定是另外那辆火车加快了速度呢?
Two trains are traveling side by side and at the same speed along parallel tracks. We areseated in one of the trains, and with us we have a special speedometer that measures theirrelative speed. Since the trains are traveling at the same speed, their relative speed is zero; thespeedometer therefore reads "0."
Suddenly the other train seems to start pulling ahead of ours. The speedometer shows areading of 10 miles per hour. The other train has apparently increased its speed. But can we beabsolutely certain of this increase?
两列火车以相同的车速并排地沿着两条平行的轨道往前行驰。我们坐在其中的一列火车上带着特制的速度测量仪,可以测出两列火车之间的相对速度。因为这两列火车是以相同的车速前进的,所以二者的相对速度是零;因此,测速仪上的读数为“0”。
突然间另一列火车使我们觉得好像是开始赶到我们所乘坐的火车前头去了。这时测速仪上显示出来的读数是每小时10英里。很显然,另一列火车已经加快了速度。但是,我们能不能肯定是另外那辆火车加快了速度呢?
If your answer is yes, you are wrong. You are wrong because all that we know is that therelative speed between the two trains changed from 0 mph to 10 mph. Nothing more. Thischange could have been brought about in one of two ways:
如果你回答说是的,那你就错了。你之所以是错了,我们所知道的仅仅是这两辆火车之间的相对速度由每小时0英里增加到了每小时10英里。仅此而已,这车速的变化很可能是由于下列两种原因中的任何一个原因所造成的:
The other train increased its speed.
另一列火车增加了车速。
Our train decreased its speed.
我们的火车降低了车速。
There are thus two possible explanations to account for the change in speed, but we don'tknow which one is right. Furthermore, regardless of which explanation we choose, the endresult will be the same: the other train will arrive at the station first. So it makes no differencewhether we say that the other train increased its speed or that our train decreased its speed.
因而对于车速的改变就可能有两种不同的解释,但是我们不知道哪一种解释是对的。进一步来说,不管我们选定了上述两种解释中的哪一种,反正最终的结果是同样的:另一列火车将首先抵达终点站。所以,不论我们说另一列火车加快了车速,还是说我们所乘的火车减慢了车速,实际上这两种说法没有什么区别。
Since both explanations lead to the same result, you can choose either one. Whenever twothings are relative, you can choose either one of them. The converse is also true: wheneveryou have a choice between two things that are equally possible, then the things are relative.
既然上述两种解释会导致同样的结果,那么你选定任何一种解释都可以。不论任何时候,只要两件事物两种情况是相对的,那你就可以选定其中一种解释。逆真理亦真,每当你从有同样可能的两件事物中选定其中之一时,那么这两种事物之间就是相对的。
There is no reason, except convenience, for choosing one explanation over the other. Therelative speed between the trains remains the same, 10 mph; and the end result will be thesame.
除为了方便这个理由而外,我们选定了一种解释而不选另一种解释根本就没有其他别的原因。如果两列火车之间的相对速度依然相同,都是每小时10英里,那么最终的结果也会是相同的。
Now let's suppose that both trains are at the railroad station loading and unloading passengersand baggage. A half-hour passes. As we look at the other train through our window, we seethat our train seems to start moving, smoothly and slowly. For a minute or so, our train seemsto travel at a uniform speed. Our special speedometer shows that the relative speed betweenthe two trains is 20 mph. But as we look out our window, we suddenly see the last coach ofthe other train disappear from sight and notice the motionless station behind it. So we are notmoving after all. The other train has been moving!
现在我们假设两列火车都在火车站上在上下乘客或装卸行李。过了半小时以后,当我们透过车窗看另一列火车时,我们看到我们所乘的火车好像是在缓慢地平稳地开始开动了。约有一分钟左右,我们所乘的火车似乎是在以均匀的速度向前运行。我们特制的测速仪显示这两列火车的相对速度是每小时20英里。但当我们往窗外一看,这才突然看见另一列火车的最后一节车厢从我们的视野中正在消失,于是我们看到那一列火车后面留下的是不动的火车站。所以,我们所乘的火车根本就没有开动。原来是另外一辆火车在开动!
This peculiar and often frustrating experience is an effect of relative motion. At the train stationwe cannot tell whether it was our train that changed its speed from 0 mph to 20 mph orwhether it was the other train that changed its speed from 0 mph to 20 mph. Only after theother train pulled out of the station could we see that it, and not our train, was moving.
这种奇特的而又经常使人沮丧的经历就是相对运动所产生的效应。在火车站上我们辨别不出是不是我们所乘坐的那一列火车把车速从每小时0英里改变成每小时20英里。只有当另一列火车驶出火车站之后,这我们才能明白原来是它在开动,而不是我们所乘坐的这列火车在开动。
Now let us again raise the question that was raised at the beginning of this article: can we beabsolutely certain that the other train did indeed increase its speed, and in this case pull outof the station?
现在让我们再次提出本文开头所提出过的那个问题:我们能否绝对肯定确实是另一列火车加快了车速,在此情此景驶出了火车站呢?
If your answer is yes, then you are wrong again. All we can be certain of is that the relativespeed between the two trains changed.
如果你回答说是的,那么你就又错了。我们所能够完全肯定的一点只是这两列火车之间的相对速度变了。
These examples illustrate an important principle in the special theory of relativity. If A appearsto be moving at a steady speed relative to B, we cannot know for sure if it is A that is reallymoving. Perhaps A is standing still, and B is moving. Or perhaps both are moving. According torelativity, there is no experiment that can be devised to solve the problem. As there is no wayof deciding which of the two objects is moving, we can choose either one as the moving object.The reason is that their motion is relative, and relativity, as we have seen, means that we havea choice.
这些例子阐明了特殊的相对论中的一个重要的原理。假如我们觉得A似乎是在用相对于B的一种很均匀的速度在移动,我们就不能肯定地确切知道是否就是A在真的移动。也许A仍在原地不动而是B在移动。或者,AB两者都在移动。根据相对论的说法,根本就不能构想出任何一个实验去解答这个问题。因为根本没有办法来确定这两个物体中哪一个物体在移动,所以我们可以把两个物体中的任何一个物体认定是在移动着的物体。理由就是他们的运动是相对的。正如我们所理解的那样,相对论就意味着我们可以选用一种解释了。
This principle - that if two objects are in uniform motion relative to each other, it isimpossible to decide which one is moving and which one is at rest - applies to all objectsmoving uniformly in a straight line through the universe.
如果两个物体在以相互间相对的同等的运动速度在运动,若想判定哪一个物体在动,哪一个物体原地不动,这是不可能的。这一原理适用于整个宇宙中凡是作直线等速运动的一切物体。
In relativity you'll find that whenever you have a choice among things that are equally possible,you are dealing with relative things. For example, time, which is measured with clocks andwatches, is relative because it can be shown that there is more than one system of time. Allsystems of time are equally possible and you can choose any system you with.
按着相对论的说法你就会发现,每当你在众多同样可能的事物中需要选定一种解释时,你就是在跟相对的事物打交道。例如,时间,虽然能用钟表加以测量,也是相对的,因为有不止一种时间体系可以来表示时间。所有的时间体系都同样有可能表示时间,所以你可以选用你所喜欢的时间体系来表示时间。

The 92-year-old,petite,well-poised and proud lady,who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock,with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied,even though she was legally blind,moved to a nursing home today.
这位92岁高龄、个子小巧、自信而又骄傲的老太太,每天早晨8点就穿戴整齐了。她的头发时髦的护在帽子里,妆也化得恰倒好处,即使她今天合情合理地失明、要搬进一家养老院也不例外。
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away,making the move necessary.
一同走过70个岁月的丈夫新近去世,搬到养老院是必然之举。
After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home,she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.As she maneuvered her walker to elevator I provided a visual description of her tiny room.
在养老院的走廊上等了半天之后,她被告之房间已准备就绪,她亲切地笑了。当她推起助步车进入电梯时,我对她的小房间进行了一番视觉描述。
“I love it,”she started with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
“我真喜欢这房间,”她热情洋溢的说,好象一个8岁的孩子刚刚得到了一只小狗一样。
“Mrs.Jones, you haven’t seen the room…just wait.”
“琼斯夫人,你还没有看到你的房间呢……还是不慌下结论。”
“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,”she replied.“Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged…it’s how I arrange my mind.I already decided to love it,It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.I have a choice;I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work or get out of bed be thankful for the ones that do.Each day is a gift,and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away…just for this time in my life.”
“那和我喜不喜欢这房间没关系,”她回答说。“幸福是你事先就决定了的。我喜不喜欢房子并不取决于家具怎么摆放……而是取决于我怎么想。我已决定要喜欢它……就像每天早晨一睁开眼所作的某个决定一样。我可以作出选择:躺在床上,抱怨身体不便带来的困难可以打发一天;或者翻身起床感激某些部位还能活动自如,也可以度过一天。每一天都是一件礼物,只要睁开眼,我就会全神贯注于崭新的一天和收藏多年的幸福记忆……这一切仅为了今生此刻.”

下面是读文网小编为大家带来英语经典美文:一种无私的自私,希望大家喜欢!
When a man is ten, he has a boy's faith in almost everthing: even Santa Claus is a belief he is not quite ready to give up so long as there is a chance the old gentleman may really live and deliver. When a man is twenty, he is closer to compete disillusion and stronger conviction than he will probably ever be in his life.
This is the age of atheists and agnostics; it is also the age of martyrs. Jesus Christ must have been a very young man when he died on the cross; Joan of Arc, they say, was only nineteen as the flames consumed her. It is in the later years---oh, anywhere from thirty to fifty---that a man at some time stands with the tatters of his hopes and dreams fallen from him and asks himself:"What, indeed, do i believe?"
He is very apt, then, to cling to the words of other men who have written for him the shadow signposts that come as anything to poiting pathways he found best in the past and roads he will trust on the way ahead. These words may be mere copybook maxims: that honesty is the best policy, or haste makes waste. They may be alone from Shakespeare---
"To thine own self be true"---or from the bible---"All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them"---or from the poets" i myself am Heaven and Hell". They may seem a sort of hodgepodge in a man's mind, yet they can make a pattern not inconsistent and not weak.
So if i believe that i myself am Heaven and Hell, that anything less than honesty to myself and others is a boomerang on them and me; if my translation of the Golden Rule is simple acts of kindness and understanding and compassion, practiced in the hope that they will be shown to me, then i have a way of life that is a sort of unselfish selfishness. The bald statement may sound cynical, but if i can follow that way, i shall not be too unhappy here and i may face death with regret but an untroubled face and a stout heart.
But there are blocks and pitfalls in a way of life, even assuming that a man can adhere to it steadfastly despite his own inclinations to deviate. These obstacles are the work other men who adhere to other ways. Hence kindness and compassion are not enough.
A man, i believe, must have courage and fortitude and a burning sense of justice, too. There are times we should turn the other cheek, but there are likewise times when we must fight the good fight. When? Well, if a fellow can't find the answer on the signposts or in his heart, i guess he has just got to pray.

必须认识到历史上有许许多多的亊例都讲述了克服重重困难之后才成为卓越不凡之人。而他们曾面对的困难如此之大,以至于足以轻易粉碎他们的意志,并让他们流落于尘俗之中。下面是读文网小编为大家带来英语经典美文:成功是一种选择,希望大家喜欢!
All of us ought to be able to brace ourselves for thepredictable challenges and setbacks that crop upeveryday. If we expect that life won’t be perfect, we’llbe able to avoid that impulse to quit. But even ifyouare strong enough to persist the obstacle course of lifeand work, sometimes you will encounter an adverseevent that will completely knock you on your back.
Whether it’s a financial loss, the loss of respect of your peers or loved ones, or some othertraumatic event in your life these major setbacks leave you doubting yourself and wondering if thingscan ever changefor the better again.
Adversity happens to all of us, and it happens all the time. Some form of major adversity is eithergoing to be there or it’s lying in wait just around the corner. To ignore adversity is to succumb tothe ultimate self-delusion.
But you must recognize that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved greatnessdespite facing hurdles so steep that easily could have crashed their spirit and left them lying in thedust. Moses was a stutterer, yet he was called on to be the voice of God. Abraham Lincoln overcomesa difficult childhood, depression, the death of two sons, and constant ridicule during the Civil Warto become arguably our greatest president ever. Helen Keller made an impact on the world despitebeing deaf, dumb, and blind from an early age. Franklin Roosevelt had polio.
There are endless examples. These were people who not only looked adversity in the face butlearned valuable lessons about overcoming difficult circumstances and were able to move ahead.
我们每个人都应该让自己做好准备,迎接每天可以预见的挑战和突如其来的挫折。假如我们相信生活并非十全十美,我们就能够避免因一时冲动而放弃追求。但是即使你足够坚强并能够在生活和工作的障碍重重的道路上挺进,有时候你也会遭遇逆境,它将会在背后给你狠狠一击。
不管是出现经济损失,或是失去同辈及亲人的尊敬,或是遭受其他的生活重创,这些巨大的挫折都会使你对自己产生怀疑,并且想知道情况是否能够好转。
我们每个人都可能遭遇困境,而且它时常发生,有些灾祸不是即刻发生就是藏于角落以待时机。而忽视逆塊则无异于彻头彻尾的自我欺骗。
但是你必须认识到历史上有许许多多的亊例都讲述了克服重重困难之后才成为卓越不凡之人。而他们曾面对的困难如此之大,以至于足以轻易粉碎他们的意志,并让他们流落于尘俗之中。摩西曾有口吃,但他后来却成为传播上帝福音的使者。亚伯拉罕·林肯战胜了童年的艰难困苦、绝望沮丧、丧失两子之痛以及内战中纷至奋来的嘲弄,最终成为典国历史上无可擊辩的最伟大的总统。海伦·凯勒从小就双目失明,双耳失聪,又是个哑巴,但她还是对世界产生了深刻彩响。而富兰克林·罗斯福则患有小儿麻痹症。
类似的例子不胜枚举。这些人不仅大胆地直面逆境,而且从中学到了征服困境的宝贵经验,然后能够男往直前。
