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。

摘要:对于思维,它们就像五彩缤纷的糖果。如今,新闻对于我们来讲如同20年前的食物一样,人们逐渐意识到,新闻可能也是有害的。
In the past few decades, the fortunate among us have recognised the hazards of living with an overabundance of food (obesity, diabetes) and have started to change our diets. But most of us do not yet understand that news is to the mind what sugar is to the body. News is easy to digest. The media feeds us small bites of trivial matter, tidbits that don't really concern our lives and don't require thinking. That's why we experience almost no saturation. Unlike reading books and long magazine articles (which require thinking), we can swallow limitless quantities of news flashes, which are bright-coloured candies for the mind.Today, we have reached the same point in relation to information that we faced 20 years ago in regard to food. We are beginning to recognise how toxic news can be.
新闻少读竟然更快乐
News misleads. Take the following event (borrowed from Nassim Taleb). A car drives over a bridge, and the bridge collapses. What does the news media focus on? The car. The person in the car. Where he came from. Where he planned to go. How he experienced the crash (if he survived). But that is all irrelevant. What's relevant? The structural stability of the bridge. That's the underlying risk that has been lurking, and could lurk in other bridges. But the car is flashy, it's dramatic, it's a person (non-abstract), and it's news that's cheap to produce.News leads us to walk around with the completely wrong risk map in our heads.So terrorism is over-rated. Chronic stress is under-rated. The collapse of Lehman Brothers is overrated. Fiscal irresponsibility is under-rated. Astronauts are over-rated. Nurses are under-rated.
We are not rational enough to be exposed to the press. Watching an airplane crash on television is going to change your attitude toward that risk, regardless of its real probability. If you think you can compensate with the strength of your own inner contemplation, you are wrong. Bankers and economists – who have powerful incentives to compensate for news-borne hazards – have shown that they cannot. The only solution: cut yourself off from news consumption entirely.
News is irrelevant. Out of the approximately 10,000 news stories you have read in the last 12 months, name one that – because you consumed it – allowed you to make a better decision about a serious matter affecting your life, your career or your business. The point is: the consumption of news is irrelevant to you. But people find it very difficult to recognise what's relevant. It's much easier to recognise what's new. The relevant versus the new is the fundamental battle of the current age. Media organisations want you to believe that news offers you some sort of a competitive advantage. Many fall for that. We get anxious when we're cut off from the flow of news. In reality, news consumption is a competitive disadvantage. The less news you consume, the bigger the advantage you have.
News has no explanatory power. News items are bubbles popping on the surface of a deeper world. Will accumulating facts help you understand the world? Sadly, no. The relationship is inverted. The important stories are non-stories: slow, powerful movements that develop below journalists' radar but have a transforming effect. The more "news factoids" you digest, the less of the big picture you will understand. If more information leads to higher economic success, we'd expect journalists to be at the top of the pyramid. That's not the case.
News is toxic to your body. It constantly triggers the limbic system . Panicky stories spur the release of cascades of glucocorticoid (cortisol). This deregulates your immune system and inhibits the release of growth hormones. In other words, your body finds itself in a state of chronic stress. High glucocorticoid levels cause impaired digestion, lack of growth (cell, hair, bone), nervousness and susceptibility to infections. The other potential side-effects include fear, aggression, tunnel-vision and desensitisation.
News increases cognitive errors. News feeds the mother of all cognitive errors: confirmation bias. In the words of Warren Buffett: "What the human being is best at doing is interpreting all new information so that their prior conclusions remain intact." News exacerbates this flaw. We become prone to overconfidence, take stupid risks and misjudge opportunities. It also exacerbates another cognitive error: the story bias. Our brains crave stories that "make sense" – even if they don't correspond to reality. Any journalist who writes, "The market moved because of X" or "the company went bankrupt because of Y" is an idiot. I am fed up with this cheap way of "explaining" the world.
News inhibits thinking. Thinking requires concentration. Concentration requires uninterrupted time. News pieces are specifically engineered to interrupt you. They are like viruses that steal attention for their own purposes. News makes us shallow thinkers. But it's worse than that. News severely affects memory. There are two types of memory. Long-range memory's capacity is nearly infinite, but working memory is limited to a certain amount of slippery data. The path from short-term to long-term memory is a choke-point in the brain, but anything you want to understand must pass through it. If this passageway is disrupted, nothing gets through. Because news disrupts concentration, it weakens comprehension. Online news has an even worse impact. In a 2001 study two scholars in Canada showed that comprehension declines as the number of hyperlinks in a document increases. Why? Because whenever a link appears, your brain has to at least make the choice not to click, which in itself is distracting. News is an intentional interruption system.
News works like a drug. As stories develop, we want to know how they continue. With hundreds of arbitrary storylines in our heads, this craving is increasingly compelling and hard to ignore. Scientists used to think that the dense connections formed among the 100 billion neurons inside our skulls were largely fixed by the time we reached adulthood. Today we know that this is not the case. Nerve cells routinely break old connections and form new ones. The more news we consume, the more we exercise the neural circuits devoted to skimming and multitasking while ignoring those used for reading deeply and thinking with profound focus. Most news consumers – even if they used to be avid book readers – have lost the ability to absorb lengthy articles or books.After four, five pages they get tired, their concentration vanishes, they become restless. It's not because they got older or their schedules became more onerous.It's because the physical structure of their brains has changed.
News wastes time. If you read the newspaper for 15 minutes each morning, then check the news for 15 minutes during lunch and 15 minutes before you go to bed, then add five minutes here and there when you're at work, then count distraction and refocusing time, you will lose at least half a day every week.Information is no longer a scarce commodity. But attention is. You are not that irresponsible with your money, reputation or health. Why give away your mind?
News makes us passive. News stories are overwhelmingly about things you cannot influence. The daily repetition of news about things we can't act upon makes us passive. It grinds us down until we adopt a worldview that is pessimistic, desensitised, sarcastic and fatalistic. The scientific term is "learned helplessness". It's a bit of a stretch, but I would not be surprised if news consumption, at least partially contributes to the widespread disease of depression.
News kills creativity. Finally, things we already know limit our creativity. This is one reason that mathematicians, novelists, composers and entrepreneurs often produce their most creative works at a young age. Their brains enjoy a wide, uninhabited space that emboldens them to come up with and pursue novel ideas. I don't know a single truly creative mind who is a news junkie – not a writer, not a composer, mathematician, physician, scientist, musician, designer, architect or painter. On the other hand, I know a bunch of viciously uncreative minds who consume news like drugs. If you want to come up with old solutions, read news. If you are looking for new solutions, don't.
Society needs journalism – but in a different way. Investigative journalism is always relevant. We need reporting that polices our institutions and uncovers truth. But important findings don't have to arrive in the form of news. Long journal articles and in-depth books are good, too.
I have now gone without news for four years, so I can see, feel and report the effects of this freedom first-hand: less disruption, less anxiety, deeper thinking, more time, more insights. It's not easy, but it's worth it.#p#副标题#e#
过去几十年,我们有幸认识到过量饮食的危害(例如导致肥胖和糖尿病),进而开始改变饮食结构。但是,大多数人并不知道新闻之于思维,如同糖类之于身体。媒体奉上的逸闻趣事、琐碎信息其实与我们的生活无甚关联,但易于理解,读起来并不费脑。因此我们对新闻从未有过饱足感。与阅读书籍和长篇杂志文章(这些都需要边读边思考)相比,无数闪现在眼前的小段新闻更加易于“吞噬”。对于思维,它们就像五彩缤纷的糖果。如今,新闻对于我们来讲如同20年前的食物一样,人们逐渐意识到,新闻可能也是有害的。
新闻产生误导。下面借用纳西姆·塔勒布[1]的一个例子:一辆车驶过一座桥,结果桥塌了。这则新闻的重点是什么呢?是这辆车,是车里的人—他从哪里来,要到哪儿去?(如果他幸免于难)这场事故经过是怎样的?然而,这些都无关紧要。什么才是至关重要的呢?是大桥的结构稳定性。它暗含着重大风险,而同样的风险还可能存在于其他桥梁。但是新闻中却充斥着这辆车如何光鲜亮丽,遭遇如何扣人心弦的信息,甚至把它刻画成一个人物(非抽象的)。如此报道,毫无价值。新闻给大脑一张全然错误的风险地图,让我们偏离了重点。正因如此,恐怖主义、雷曼兄弟破产以及宇航员这类主题被过度渲染,而慢性精神压力、财政失责以及医护人员这类主题却报道不足。
面对媒体,我们尚不够理性。看到电视里报道飞机失事,也不管这种概率实际有多大,人们很容易就改变自己对此类风险的看法。如果你以为能通过内心的深思熟虑抵消这种影响,那么你错了。事实表明,银行家和经济学家纵然利用强大的手段也无法弥补新闻导致的危害。唯一解决之道是:与新闻完全隔绝。
新闻无关紧要。在你最近一年中阅读的上万条资讯中,很难找出这样一条新闻:因为读了它,让你面临人生、职场或事业的重大问题时做出了更好的决定。原因在于,你所读的新闻与你自身毫无关系。人们很难辨别哪些新闻与自己有关系,但是很容易知道哪些是新的。当今时代,关联度和新颖性是一对基本矛盾。媒体想让人们觉得新闻可以为之提供某种竞争优势,而许多人竟信以为真。一旦与新闻隔绝,我们就焦躁不安。而事实上,新闻只会令人在竞争中处于劣势。读的新闻越少,你的优势反而越多。
新闻无法解释世界。新闻不过是浮于表面的水泡,现实世界深藏其下。不断积累事实有助于你了解这个世界吗?很遗憾,不能。恰恰相反,真正重要的事实并没有报道出来。它们不为记者关注,发展缓慢,却拥有改变一切的强大能量。你对杜撰新闻消费得越多,你对现实宏图的了解就越少。如果资讯越多,经济就越繁荣,那我们真该期望记者们稳坐金字塔顶端。但事实绝非如此。
新闻毒害身体。它不断触动大脑边缘系统。令人恐慌的新闻使人体内糖皮质激素(皮质醇)呈级联式分泌,导致免疫系统紊乱,抑制生长荷尔蒙分泌。也就是说,使身体长期处于精神压力之下。高糖皮质激素水平还导致消化功能受损、(细胞、毛发和骨骼)生长缓慢、情绪紧张,让人容易感染疾病。其他潜在副作用还包括:恐惧感、攻击性、视野狭窄和麻木不仁。
新闻增加认知错误。新闻为“确认偏误”[2]提供养分,而后者正是一切认知错误的源泉。沃伦·巴菲特曾说“人类最擅长将所有新信息都解释一通,以确保先前的结论不受影响。”新闻则是这种缺陷的帮凶,使我们过于自信,盲目冒险,错判时机。此外,新闻还助长了另一种认知错误:新闻偏见。大脑渴望“有意义”的新闻,即便这些新闻与事实不符。弱智记者在稿子中解释“市场因为某某原因而波动”或者“公司因为某某原因而破产”,见解之拙劣,令我不胜其烦。
新闻抑制思考。只有免受打扰才能集中注意力,进而潜心思考。新闻片段却似乎是专为打断思考而设计。它们如同病毒,为了一己之私分散人的注意力,令我们无法深入思考。更糟糕的是,新闻严重损害记忆力。记忆分两种:长期记忆和短期记忆。前者潜力近乎无限,后者却仅限于一定数量的不确切信息。短期记忆转化为长期记忆是大脑的一项瓶颈,但要形成对事物的理解,这一关不可逾越。如果这一过程中断,我们什么都学不会。新闻打断注意力,从而弱化了理解力。网络新闻的负面影响则更为严重。2001年,两位加拿大学者曾做过一项研究。他们发现,文章中链接越多,人们的理解力就下降得越快。原因何在?因为一旦出现链接,大脑就至少得做出是否点击的决定,这本身就是在分散注意力。可见,新闻是专门打断思维的机器。
新闻就像毒品。随着新闻事件发展,我们想知道接下来发生了什么。脑子里那几百种故事情节令好奇心愈发难以抗拒,挥之不去。过去,科学家们认为大脑内上千亿神经元间的紧密联系大部分在我们成年之前就固定下来。而今,我们发现事实并非如此。神经细胞之间不断打破旧联系,形成新联系,如同例行公事一般。接触的新闻越多,大脑就要越发频繁地启动用于略读和多重任务处理的神经回路,忽略用于深度阅读和专注思考的神经回路。多数新闻读者(即使他们曾经热衷读书)已经失去了理解长篇文章或书籍的能力,仅仅阅读四、五页,就无法集中注意力,且心生厌倦,烦躁不已。这并非因为年龄增长或者事务繁重,而是因为大脑生理构造发生了改变。
新闻浪费时间。如果你每天早晨、午餐时和睡觉前各花15分钟读新闻,工作中再不时抽出5分钟来看新闻,不妨计算一下注意力分散和重新找回所耗时间。你会发现每周至少半天时间就这么浪费了。新闻不再是稀缺商品,而注意力却是。你不会不在乎金钱、名誉和健康,可为什么却不把思维当回事呢?
新闻令人消极。绝大多数新闻里讲述的都是我们无法改变的事。每天反复阅读新闻,因无法左右现实而饱受折磨,我们就会变得消极。久而久之,或悲观厌世,或麻木不仁,喜欢冷嘲热讽,凡事听天由命。这一现象在科学上称为“习得性无助”。也许这么说有点言过其实,但是新闻消费至少在一定程度上导致抑郁症流行。对此我并不感到意外。
新闻扼杀创造力。这是我要讲的最后一点。已知信息限制了创造力。这也是为什么数学家、小说家、作曲家和企业家最有创造力的成绩产生于年轻时期。他们脑海中有片广袤无垠、人迹罕至的天地,在这里他们可以大胆追求新奇想法。据我所知,那些有创造力的人,无论是作家、作曲家、数学家、科学家、音乐家、画家,还是医师、设计师或建筑师,没有谁是新闻“瘾君子”。另一方面,大量极度缺乏创造力的人却像吸毒一样对新闻成瘾。想墨守成规?看新闻吧。想别出心裁?还是别看了。
社会需要新闻行业,但不是现在这种局面。调查性新闻报道往往能切中要害,而我们的报道就应该发挥监督各类机构和揭露事实真相的作用。不过,重大发现不一定非得以新闻形式体现。长篇杂志文章以及有深度的书籍也是上佳选择。
近四年,我摆脱新闻的束缚,转而选择去看,去感觉。我的切身体会是:内心不再焦虑彷徨,可以深度思考而不被打断,有了更多时间来洞察世事。虽得之不易,但物有所值。

摘要:没有感情不争吵。不管你有多在乎对方,不管你们有多少共同点,你们肯定会有意见不合的时候。忍让、妥协交流都能让你们停止争吵。
Conflict can be healthy
No relationship will be smooth sailing from start to finish. No matter how much you care about someone, or how much you have in common, there will be times when you disagree. Sacrifice, compromise, and communication will soon take the place of quarreling or arguing.
吵吵更健康
没有感情不争吵。不管你有多在乎对方,不管你们有多少共同点,你们肯定会有意见不合的时候。忍让、妥协交流都能让你们停止争吵。
Your body issues aren’t really issues
初恋教会我的那些事
外貌不是问题
All of us have hang-ups about our appearance, but being with your first love will make you view yourself in a different way. In fact, significant others will often adore the qualities you think are flaws. Most importantly, your first love will surely teach you to see your body in a more positive way, regardless of the road your relationship takes.
我们都很在乎自己的外表,但是你的初恋会让你用不一样的方式看待自己。事实上某些人还会羡慕你自己眼中的缺点。更重要的是,不管你们的感情路如何,初恋会教你用另一种更积极地方式看待你自己。
Selflessness is a virtue
无私是一种美德
If you’re like most of us, the biggest concerns in life are things that affect you. While a self-centered approach is often valuable in career and education endeavors. Learning to share your time and space long-term will be absolutely crucial to a successful love life in the future. First loves challenge our selfishness.
像我们大多数人一样,生活中最大的问题就是影响到自己的问题。然而以自我为中心最大的好处就体现在职场和教育中。学着与人分享你的时间和空间对于未来完美的感情生活是很重要的。初恋往往挑战着你的自私。
You’re too hard on yourself
对自己太严厉
Many of us hold what we think are high standards for ourselves, but they are in fact impossible standards. if you would be soft on a friend in the same situation, there’s no need to be hard on yourself. If your relationship’s a healthy one, your first love will undoubtedly challenge this habit.
我们许多人都给自己定了高要求,但实际上都做不到。如果同样的情况下你能对朋友做到轻松相待,那你也没必要对自己严厉,如果你们感情很好,那么毫无疑问你的初恋也会挑战你的这一习惯。
Relationships need love too
感情也需要爱的经营
Maintaining a relationship is much different than casually dating or starting a relationship. To truly care for someone else takes effort and longevity. Learning how to care for someone over time, and how to make the right decisions for your situation, is a critical lesson we take from our first love.
维持一段感情不同于平常的约会,和你们刚恋爱的时候也不一样要真正花时间和精力去照顾对方。学着如何关心别人,怎样做出最正确的决定等都是我们从第一段感情那里学到的最重要的一堂课。
还记得那纯纯的初恋吗?还记得那种不知不觉爱一个人就像呼吸的感觉吗?也许有时候就连你自己都不知道你为什么会爱上那个ta,那种感觉虽无以言表,却美妙至极!
I'm not sure when I first fell in love with you...
I guess it could have been as early as that first time we held each other, or the first time I realized that you liked me, too...
I'm not sure; I just remember thinking of you more and more and getting less and less done in the process!
I just remember wanting you to stay so badly - and being so thrilled at the thought!
I still remember praying that it was you whenever the phone would ring, but at the same time hoping it wasn't; because I didn't know how in the world I was going to sound romantic and impressive when what I felt was anxious and even tongue-tied...
Sometimes it still amazes me - how I get so anxious and thrilled and thoughtful about you; I guess maybe it's because I just keep falling wonderfully in love with you... over and over again.
当我第一次与你热恋时,我并不那么确定...
我想可能是在与你第一次执子之手,或是我第一次意识到你也像我喜欢你一样喜欢我...
我不确定;只记得在这期间,我是越来越思念你,也越来越一无所成!
我只记得如此痛苦的思念你留下来,记得心灵如此悸动!
仍然记得,在那时,无论电话是否响起,我都期望来电的人是你!可又希望不是你。因为当时我并不知道在我紧张甚至舌头都在打结的情况下,要怎样才能让自己听起来浪漫、有魅力!
有时,那种感觉让我惊喜不已
我是如此焦虑
如此的欣喜若狂
如此的关心你...
我想,或许是因为我已毫无保留的爱上了你...
并一次又一次的陷入其中!
初恋是美好的、单纯的,是每个人值得一生收藏的!也许两个人最后会由于很多很多原因而分开,可是那种人生第一次“视对方为唯一”的勇往直前是会永远铭记于心的!感谢生命中的初恋,感谢有你!

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

It was from a little book by Susan Polis Schutz called Don't Be Afraid to Love.

I put the original on the message board on my door."

"Now that this crisis is over,
"既然这个非常事件过去了,
you have to buckle down and work harder Maura."
你就应该埋头苦干好好读文网,莫娜。"
on and on I went, playing the taskmaster,the preacher--
我重复了一遍又一遍,扮演着导师,牧师的角色,
at no loss at all for words in those roles.
不失时机地重复这些话语。
The following Saturday,there was a letter to me from Maura.What now?
随后的星期六,我收到了莫娜的一封信。这为什么呢?
She never wrote letters.Maybe I was too tough on her.
她是从不写信的。也许我对她太苛刻了吧,
Is something so bad that she's afraid to tell me on the phone?
还是有什么难言之隐不便在电话里说呢?
The note was short:

"Dear Mom: In case you were wondering,
亲爱的妈妈:您毋须一天到晚担惊受怕,
'I am always here to understand you.' Love,Maura.
'我一直陪伴左右,与您心心相印。'爱您的莫娜。

在大学学习英语,坚持阅读英语美文是最好的学习方法,下面读文网小编为大家带来大学英语美文,欢迎大家阅读!
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives.
当我还在上高一时,有一天,我看到我们班的一个孩子正步行回家。他叫凯尔。他似乎背着所有的书。我心想:“为什么有人在周五就把所有的书都带回家呢?他肯定是个书呆子。”我的周末计划得非常详细(先是派对,在第二天下午和我的朋友踢足球)。因此我耸了耸肩,走开了。正走着,我看到一帮孩子朝他跑去。他们追上他,把他所有的书都从怀里扔到地上并把他绊倒,结果他摔在污泥里,眼镜也被打飞了,我看到它落在离他10英尺远的草地上。他抬起头时,我看到他眼里极度悲伤的表情。因此,我慢步向他跑过去。在他爬着寻找眼镜时,我看到了他眼中的泪水。 我把眼镜递给他,说道:“那些家伙都是些蠢蛋,他们真该遭到报应。”
He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now.
他看了看我,说:“嗨,谢谢了!”笑容在他脸上展现。正是这样的笑显示出了真正的感激。我帮他捡起书,问他住在哪里。原来他住得离我很近。于是我就问他,怎么以前我从没有见过他呢,他说在来这所学校以前他上的是私立学校。
We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. The more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him.Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Dim boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books.
我们一路聊着回家,我帮他拿着书。他原来竟是一位非常讨人喜欢的孩子,我问他是否周六想跟我及我的朋友一起踢足球。他答应了。对凯尔了解得越多,我越是喜欢他。我的朋友也都这么认为。到了周一早晨,凯尔又要背上那个巨大的书包了。我制止他,说:“傻孩子,你每天背这么一大堆书,想练就一身强壮的肌肉呀!”他只是笑,并把一半书都递给了我。
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.
接下来的四年里,凯尔和我成为最好的朋友。到了高年级后,我们开始考虑上大学的事。凯尔决定去乔治敦,而我要去杜克。我知道我们永远都是朋友,距离决不会成为问题。
Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.
凯尔是我们班致告别词的学生代表。 我总是取笑他是一个书呆子。他必须为毕业准备一个演讲。我很庆幸不是我要站在那儿演讲。
Graduation day, I saw Kyle.. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him! Boy, sometimes I was jealous.
毕业日来临了——我看到了凯尔,他看起来帅极了。他是那些在高中真正把握住自己的人之一。他的约会比我还要多,几乎所有的女孩都喜欢他。 天哪,有时候我都有些嫉妒。
Today was one of those days. I can see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled."Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach.... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give him or her. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
今天就是这样。我能看出他对于演讲有些紧张。因此,我拍了拍他的后背,说:“嗨,大小伙子,你会很出色的!”他看了看我,带着那样的表情(真正出于感激的那种),笑了。“谢谢,”他说。开始演讲时,他清了清喉咙,开始说:“毕业的时候,你应该感谢那些帮助你度过最困难时期的人。你的父母、老师、兄弟姐妹、也许还有教练……但主要是你的朋友。我在这儿要告诉你们,做别人的朋友是你能给予他们的最好礼物。我要给你们讲一个故事。”我不敢置信地望着我的朋友,他讲的就是我们第一天相遇的故事。他本来打算要在那个周末自杀,他谈到自己如何把课桌收拾干净,把他所有的东西都带回家,这样就不用妈妈以后再收拾了。他直直地看着我,给了我一个笑容。“谢天谢地,我获救了。我的朋友阻止了我去做那不堪设想的事情。”
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.
当这位帅气的、受欢迎的男孩告诉我们有关他的最脆弱的时刻时,我听到人群中都深吸了一口气。我看到他的爸爸妈妈都看着我,带着同样感激的微笑。直到那时我才意识到它的深刻。
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse.
决不要低估你的行动的力量,一个简单的举止也许会改变人的一生,无论是好是坏。

My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it."Have you seen the tree?" she asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the October twilight.
关于那棵树,最初是我的邻居加根太太告诉我的。“你见过那棵树吗?”她问道,当时我正坐在后院欣赏十月的暮色。
"The one down at the corner," she explained. "It's a beautiful tree-all kinds of colors.Cars are stopping to look. You ought to see it."
“就是下去拐角处的那棵”她解释说,“漂亮极了—五颜六色的。好多车路过都停下来看,你该去看看。”
I told her I would, but I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street, my mind swimming with petty worries, when a splash of bright orange caught my eye. For an instant, I thought someone's house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.
我对她说我会去看的,可转眼就忘记了关于树的事。三天后,我顺着街道慢跑,脑子里充斥着恼人的小事,忽然,一片耀眼的橘红色映入眼帘,有一会儿,我还以为是谁家的房子着火了呢,但我马上想到了那棵树。
As I approached it, I slowed to a walk. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree. a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its colors.Like the messy whirl of an artist's palette, the tree blazed a bright crimson on its lower branches, burned with vivid yellows and oranges in its center. and simmered to deep red at its top. Through these fiery colors cascaded thin rivulets of pale-green leaves and blotches of deep-green leaves, as yet untouched by autumn.
我慢慢走近它.就像朝圣者缓缓步向神殿,我发现靠近树梢的地方有几根光秃秃的枝丫,上面黑乎乎的小枝像鹰爪一般伸向天空。枯枝上落下的叶子一片猩红,像地毯似的铺在树干周围。
Edging closer-like a pilgrim approaching a shrine-I noticed several bare branches near the top, their black twigs scratching the air like claws.The leaves they had shed lay like a scarlet carpet around the trunk.
当我靠近树时,禁不住放慢了脚步。树的形状并没有什么非凡之处,是一棵中等大小的枫树。但加根太太说得不错,它的色彩确实奇特,像画家调色板中斑斓的颇料,令人眼花缭乱。树底部的枝丫好似一片鲜红的火海,树的中部燃烧着明快的黄色和橘色,顶部的树梢又爆发着深红色。在这火一样的色彩中,流淌着浅绿的叶子汇成的小溪,深绿的叶子斑驳点缀其间,似乎至今末曾受到过秋天的侵袭。
With its varied nations of color, this tree seemed to become a globe, embracing in its broad branches all seasons and continents: the spring and summer of the Southern hemisphere in the light and dark greens, the autumn and winter of the Northern in the blazing yellows and bare branches.
这棵枫树集各种颇色于一体。如果一种颜色就是一个国家,枫树俨然成了一个缤纷的地球,它张开宽大的枝条,历数着四季轮回,容纳着五湖四海。深浅错落的绿叶,昭示着南半球的春夏,耀眼的黄叶和光秃秃的枝丫勾勒出北半球的秋冬。整个星球就围绕这一时空的交集点和谐运转。
As I marveled at this all-encompassing beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson's comments about the stars. If the constellations appeared only once in a thousand years, he observed in Nature, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they're up there every night, we barely give them a look.
我为这棵树无所不包的美而惊叹不已。这时,我想起了著名作家拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生有关星星的评论。他在《自然》一书中写道:倘若星座一千年才出现一次,那么,星座的出现是一桩多么激动人心的事;可正因为星座每夜都挂在天上,人们才很少去看上一眼。
I felt the same way about the tree. Because its majesty will last only a week, it should be especially precious to us. And I had almost missed it.
对于眼前这棵树,我也有同感。它此时的华美只能维持一个星期,所以它对于我们就相当珍贵。可我竟差一点错过了。
Once when Emily Dickenson's father noticed a brilliant display of northern lights in the sky over Massachusetts, he tolled a church bell to alert townspeople. That's what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to become a Paul Revere of autumn, awakening the countryside to its wonder.
有一次,当埃米莉·迪金森的父亲偶然看见马萨诸塞州上空一道炫目的北极光时,他立刻跑到教堂鸣钟告知所有市民。现在,我也产生了同样的想法,我要向世人宣扬这棵树。我愿成为秋天的信使。让田园乡村每一个角落的人们都了解它的神奇。
I didn't have a church bell or a horse, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple but momentous question Mrs. Gargan had asked me: "Have you seen the tree?"
可我没有教堂的大钟,也没有快马,但当我走在回家的路上,我会问遇见的每一位邻居加根太太曾问过我的那个极其简单又极其重要的问题:“你见过那棵树吗?”

阅读英语美文,是我们提高英语阅读水平的很好方法。下面读文网小编为大家带来哲理英语阅读美文,欢迎大家阅读欣赏!
Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents, was about to be lost forever,
by the U.S. education system. Remarkably, he could read, yet, in spite of his reading
skills, Steve was failing. He had been failing since first grade, as he was passed on
from grade to grade. Steve was a big boy, looking more like a teenager than a twelve
year old, yet, Steve went unnoticed... until Miss White.
Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead, and Steve was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he
failed. He never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. His
heart would break under her sharp words, and when he was punished for failing to turn in his homework, he felt just miserable! Still, he did not study.
In the middle of the first semester of school, the entire seventh grade was tested
for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other things, as the day wore on. His heart was not in school, but in the woods, where he
often escaped alone, trying to shut out the sights, sounds and smells of his alcoholic
home. No one checked on him to see if he was safe. No one knew he was gone, because no one was sober enough to care. Oddly, Steve never missed a day of school.
One day, Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams.
“Steve!!” Startled, he turned to look at her.
“Pay attention!”
Steve locked his gaze on Miss White with adolescent adoration, as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.
“You all did pretty well,” she told the class, “except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but...” She hesitated, pinning Steve to his seat with a sharp stare, her eyes searching his face.
“...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”
She just stared at Steve, as the class spun around for a good look. Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his fingertips.
After that, it was war!! Steve still wouldn’t do his homework. Even as the
punishments became more severe, he remained stubborn.
“Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.
“You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing fazed him.
“Give yourself a chance! Don’t give up on your life!” Nothing.
“Steve! Please! I care about you!”
Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it!! Someone cared about him? Someone, totally unattainable and perfect, CARED ABOUT HIM??!!
Steve went home from school, thoughtful, that afternoon. Walking into the house, he took one look around. Both parents were passed out, in various stages of undress, and the stench was overpowering! He, quickly, gathered up his camping gear, a jar of peanut butter, a loaf of bread, a bottle of water, and this time...his schoolbooks. Grim faced
and determined, he headed for the woods.
The following Monday he arrived at school on time, and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in, all sparkle and smiles! God, she was beautiful! He yearned for her smile to turn on him. It did not.
Miss White, immediately, gave a quiz on the weekend homework. Steve hurried through the test, and was the first to hand in his paper. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his paper. Obviously puzzled, she began to look it over. Steve walked back to his desk, his heart pounding within his chest. As he sat down, he couldn’t resist another
look at the lovely woman.
Miss White’s face was in total shock! She glanced up at Steve, then down, then up.
Suddenly, her face broke into a radiant smile. The smartest boy in the seventh grade had just passed his first test!
From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it!
He discovered that he could understand and retain knowledge, and that he could translate the things he learned into his own life. Steve began to excel! And he continued this course throughout his school life.
After high-school Steve enlisted in the Navy, and he had a successful military
career. During that time, he met the love of his life, he raised a family, and he
graduated from college Magna Cum Laude. During his Naval career, he inspired many young people, who without him, might not have believed in themselves. Steve began a second career after the Navy, and he continues to inspire others, as an adjunct professor in a nearby college
Miss White left a great legacy. She saved one boy who has changed many lives. I
know, because I am the love of his life.
You see, it’s simple, really. A change took place within the heart of one boy, all
because of one teacher, who cared.

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