“There is nothing either good or bad,but thinking makes it so.”—William Shakespeare, “Hamlet”
One of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
Without judgment, without wishing for otherwise.
When we see something we don't like, we wish it could be different — we cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it's something that's ingrained in our culture.
The root of the unhappiness isn't necessarily that we want things to be different, however: it's that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place. We've judged it as bad, rather than saying, "It's not bad or good, it just is."
An example: In my recent post, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind, quite a few commenters thought my outlook was negative, pessimistic, or fatalistic … because I said you should expect people to mess up, expect things to go differently than you planned, and that you should embrace that.
It's too negative to expect things to go wrong, they said. However: it's only negative if you see it as negative. If you judge it as bad.
Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works — as the way things actually are. And try to understand why that is, and embrace it. As it is.
This can be applied to whatever you do: whether it be how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they're that way.
It'll save you a lot of grief, because you'll no longer say, "Oh, I wish things didn't suck!"
Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But change things not because you can't accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of change, of learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place? Again, that's assuming that it's a bad place right now. But instead, you could say the world is just what it is — and that's neither good nor bad. You can say that you'll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world — not because you're such a bad person now, or the world sucks, but because that's the path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path.
As you catch yourself judging, and wishing for different — and we all do it — try a different approach: accept, and understand. It might lead to some interesting results.

以下是小编整理的情感类英语美文欣赏:选择快乐所以快乐, 希望使你的心灵有所触动。
Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He wasalways in a good mood and always had somethingpositive to say. When someone would ask him howhe was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, Iwould be twins!"
He was a unique manager because he hadseveral waiters who had followed him around fromrestaurant to restaurant. The reason the waitersfollowed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was anatural motivator. If an employee was having a badday, Jerry was there telling the employee how tolook on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don"t get it! You can"t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, "Jerry, you have two choicestoday. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood." I chooseto be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I canchoose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to mecomplaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life.I choose the positive side of life."
"Yeah, right, it"s not that easy," I protested.
"Yes, it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, everysituation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people willaffect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It"s yourchoice how you live life."
I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start myown business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about lifeinstead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in arestaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint bythree armed robbers. While trying to open the safe(保险柜), his hand, shaking fromnervousness, slipped off (忘记,遗漏)the combination (开启号码锁的号码组合)。 The robberspanicked and shot him.
Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma (创伤,外伤)center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from thehospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, hereplied, "If I were any better, I"d be twins. Wanna see my scars(伤疤)?" I declined to see hiswounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the backdoor," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I couldchoose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live."
"Weren"t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.
Jerry continued, "The paramedics (护理人员)were great. They kept telling me I was goingto be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions onthe faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, "He"s a deadman." "I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a big, burly (魁梧的,结实的)nurse shouting questions at me," saidJerry.
"She asked if I was allergic (过敏的)to anything. "Yes," I replied. The doctors andnurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Bullets!"
Over their laughter, I told them. "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive,not dead."
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. Ilearned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything.

摘要:不要丢失你心中那个小孩。下次你感到沮丧时,去打开你最爱的那首歌吧,随之歌唱起舞,就像没有明天一样。
We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star,singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this inthe privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy ofour homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a songthat I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I ammoving along to the rhythm.Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.
让自己快乐起来
Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming whiledriving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people andothers laugh.Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leadsme to share with you the importance of being silly!
我们每个人,在不同时期,都曾经像一个摇滚歌星那样,伴着我们最爱的那首歌又唱又跳。很多人在小时候,甚至是已长大成人,都曾在我们自己房间和家里这样隐秘空间里这样做过。我呢?我喜欢在开车的时候这样!打开收音机,找一首会唱的歌,很快我就会张开双臂,随着节奏起舞。多数时候,我在上班的路上这么做。
是的,那是真的。我会穿上我漂亮的工作服,在堵车和遇到交通灯时,有人就会用奇怪的眼神看着我,或者笑我。对我个人而言,我喜欢沉浸在一首歌的节奏中,由此我愿和你们分享:为人贵在糊涂。
The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is:stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to lookfoolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!
糊涂一词在字典中的定义是:愚蠢的,傻,荒谬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他们在生活中始终一脸严肃,而这在本质上才是真正的愚笨。
No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don't care howeducated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and soon... No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?
人无完人,我重申一次:没有人是完美的。我不在乎一个人学识多深,身材多好,外表多美,思想多浅薄,生活多俭朴,多富有……人无完人!那么,为什么要伪装成我们实际上本不是那样的呢?
Life is so short…You never know when this beautiful journey will beover, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is aquote by Souza,that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:
人生何其短暂……你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束,那么,为什么要浪费一分一秒,让自己变得棱角分明?这里引用索萨的话,我觉得她一语中的,是人生的一大秘方。
"Dance as though no one is watching you,
跳舞吧,就像没有人欣赏一样,
Love as though you have never been hurt before,
去爱吧,就像没有受到伤害一样,
Sing as though no one can hear you,
唱歌吧,就像没有人倾听一样,
Live as though heaven is on earth."
生活吧,就像今天是最后一天一样。
When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we hadno care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how weappeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.
当我们还是孩子,我们天不怕,地不怕,无忧无虑,所以我们可以不在乎自己在别人眼中的形象去做事情。然而,当我们长大,我们失去了那种天真烂漫。
So don't lose the child that still lives within you. The next time youfeel down,go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there isno tomorrow Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the bestmedicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard thatyour tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feet a whole lot better, and who doesn't want to feel good?
所以,不要丢失你心中那个小孩。下次你感到沮丧时,去打开你最爱的那首歌吧,随之歌唱起舞,就像没有明天一样。或者看点能让你笑的东西。笑声是除去任何烦恼的良方,没有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我,你会好受很多,谁又不想让自己好受呢?

摘要:让我们来谈谈幸福吧。到底怎样才算幸福呢?相信很多人都会赞成——要想幸福,就得积极乐观地面对生活。话虽如此,那到底怎样才算是“乐活”呢?或许,我们可以多去接触美好事物。
So let's talk about happiness, or rather how we can go toward that goal. I think we can all agree that to be happy we should live a positive life. That makes sense. So, how then, can we make sure that we live positively? One way is to surround ourselves with positive things and positive experiences. Read good books, see good movies, have beautiful artwork hanging on our walls. We should eat delicious food, buy ourselves fresh flowers to greet us when we get home and attend all kinds of concerts frequently. . . .
让我们来谈谈幸福吧。到底怎样才算幸福呢?相信很多人都会赞成——要想幸福,就得积极乐观地面对生活。话虽如此,那到底怎样才算是“乐活”呢?或许,我们可以多去接触美好事物,比如,读本好书,看场精彩的电影,或者用不凡的艺术品装饰我们的家居;再比如,我们也可以享用美味大餐,买束鲜花美美地放在家里,抑或多赴几场音乐会……
It is important to remember why we are living on this earth. What are our priorities: our family and friends or getting that extra bonus by working 100 hours a week? Which really and truly makes us happier? We only have one life, so let's treat ourselves well, with massages and bubble baths. Never pass a playground without stopping to swing. Throw away our watches and maybe even try living without a planner for a day.
多想想我们为什么要活在这个世上,而我们的优势又在哪里?是亲朋好友重要呢,还是拼命加班挣点辛苦钱重要?到底哪一个更让我们快乐呢?一辈子有限,何不对自己好点,享受一下按摩和泡泡澡呢?路过操场时就荡下秋千吧!别再争分夺秒赶时间做计划,偶尔试着放松放松吧!
Find the little things, like sunrises and sunsets, or tequila shots and pet rocks, that make a day worth living. And always, always, always have a reason to get out of bed in the morning--whether it's the brownies you baked the night before or the realization that Thursday means "ER" is on at 10:00.
日出日落、一杯美酒、一枚宠物石……去细微观察品味,用心过好每一天吧。而且,一定要有一个激励自己起床的动力:哪怕只是为了吃块昨晚烤的巧克力饼,或者仅仅是因为ER就在每周二10:00更新。
That way of positive living doesn't sound too bad, does it?
这种乐活方式听上去还不错,对吧?
But I'd like to introduce another way of living positively. This previous way is inward-looking. The goal is to bring positive or happy things of the world into our lives. A second manner of positive living is more outward-focused. The goal is to direct our own positivity (if I can take the liberty of inventing a word) on the world. To perhaps even seek out the negative things in this world and work to make them positive.
不过,我要讲的却是另一种乐活方式。前一种方式偏向于“内聚型”,要求人们把外界的美好正能量融入自己的生活中去;而第二种方式更侧重于“外散型”,就是把我们自身的正能量传播给外界,甚至需要我们善于发现负能量,然后努力把它转化为正能量。
This lifestyle might not appear so much fun, at first. We no longer can claim that it is for "positive" reasons that we don't read the bad news in the newspaper. To the contrary, we must open our eyes and ears to what is happening in all corners of this world that is our global community. Sure it does no good to numb ourselves to all the horrors of the world by repeated contact. But we cannot solve problems without knowing they are there.
当然,刚开始这种生活方式可能不那么有趣。我们没必要为了求得正能量而刻意不看报纸上的负面新闻,相反,我们更应该睁大眼睛留意世界各地的情况变化。当然,总这么做我们或许也会变得麻木,但只有知道问题的存在,才有可能去解决问题,对不对?
In this life, maybe instead of going to a concert, you will perform for others. Maybe instead of buying cut flowers, you will plant flowers in a vacant lot for others to enjoy. Maybe you will teach, heal, counsel, or write policy that changes the world. Building a house with Habitat for Humanity may come before that weekend at the spa. But look at what you've made at the end of a day! When you take responsibility for the world, bubble baths sometimes have to wait.
你这一辈子,或许不必去参加别人的音乐会,而选择自己演一场给别人看;或许不必买剪切的鲜花,而是在空地上种一片花海,给别人带去赏心悦目;又或许,你可以教书育人、救死扶伤、咨询顾问,甚或编写改变世界的法规政策。周末在享受SPA之前,或许你可以加入“仁爱之家”,为他人添砖加瓦。等这一天结束后,你会发现生活是那么充实美好!当肩负起整个世界的责任后,你会发现泡泡澡也不是那么重要了。
But once again, I ask you to think about why we are here on earth and what is really important in life. What is the most positive way you can lead your life? As I said before, the key to a positive life is to always, always, and always have a reason to get up in the morning.
但是话说回来,我希望你能用心思考:人为什么要活在世上?生活中最宝贵的又是什么?你的乐活方式又是怎样的呢?就像我在前面说的,乐活的关键就是——早上永远有一个叫醒你的理由!

Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples. As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty.
快乐就像一块为了激起阵阵涟漪而丢进池塘的小石头。正好史蒂文森所说,快乐是一种责任。
There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.
快乐这个词并没有确切的定义,快乐的人快乐的理由多种多样。快乐的关键并不是财富或身体健康,因为我们发现有些乞丐,残疾人和所谓的失败者也都非常快乐。
Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.
快乐是一种意外的收获,但保持快乐却是一种成就,一种灵性的胜利。努力追寻快乐并不自私,实际上,这是我们对自己和他人应尽的责任。
Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you don’t feel happy, pretend to be!
不快乐就像传染病,它使得人们都躲避不快乐的人。不快乐的人很快就会发现自己处于孤独,悲惨,痛苦的境地。然而,有一种简单得看似荒谬的治病良方:如果你不快乐,就假装你很快乐!
It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.
这很有效。不久你就会发现,别人不再躲着你了,相反,你开始吸引别人了。你会发觉,做一块能激起好意涟漪的小石头有多么值得。
Then the make-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others.
然后假装就变成了现实。你拥有了使心灵平静的秘密,会因帮助他人而忘我。
Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.
一旦你认识到快乐是一种责任并使快乐成为习惯,通向不可思议的乐园的大门就会向你敞开,那里满是感激你的朋友。

You can almost hear the law of unintended consequences at work among the flora and fauna ofnorthwestern New Mexico.
你几乎不敢相信新墨西哥州西北动植物研究工作带来意想不到的结果。
Thousands of natural gas wells dot the landscape there, along with the compressors that getthe gaseous fuel ready to travel through pipelines. The compressor rumble is constant, andseems to be attracting black-chinned hummingbirds, according to a new experiment. Thefindings appeared this week in the journalProceedings of the Royal Society B.
成千上万的天然气井点缀在那儿的风景中 通过燃料气体压缩机而穿越管道输送。根据一项新的实验压缩机恒定的隆隆声似乎能吸引一种black-chinned蜂鸟。这些发现刊登在本周的皇家社会研究月刊。
Researchers set up test flower beds and tracked bird landings. They found that thehummingbirds were five times more likely to visit noisy areas. Why? Perhaps because thewestern scrub jay tends to avoid noise. And western scrub jays eat baby hummingbirds. Thesituation is good for wildflowers that are pollinated by the hummingbirds.
研究人员通过建立花圃并跟踪测试鸟类降落次数。他们发现蜂鸟有超过五倍可能性去喧闹的地区这是为什么?或许是因为西方矮树松鸦不喜欢噪音,而西方矮树松鸦喜欢吃蜂鸟幼鸟。这样由蜂鸟授粉的野花在闹市区开的很好。
But the absence of jays seems to be bad for other plants. For example, the pinon pine relies onscrub jaysto spread its seeds. As a result, pine seedlings were four times less abundant atnoisy sites than quiet ones.
但缺乏松鸦似乎对其他植物不利。例如 矮松树依赖松鸦来传播种子。结果 喧闹地点松幼苗清静地儿减少四倍。
Pinon seedlings take decades to become pinon pines, a critical habitat for hundreds of speciesin the western U.S. So the forest of the future may never take root. Darn noisy neighbors.
矮松树苗要花上几十年的时间成为松树 而因为讨厌嘈杂的邻居,在美国西部的森林中作为数百种关键物种栖息地的矮松树苗可能永远不会生根。

When I was a kid, I remember my dad used to sing an old, WWI song, “Pack up your Troubles,” while he was getting dressed for work in the morning. The lyrics from the chorus of the song play in my head often when I’m packing for a trip—“Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile.”
Lately, with TSA regulations seemingly changing daily, packing my kit bag with clothes, toothbrush and Ziploc-baggie of three-ounce bottles seems more like trouble than fun, fun, fun.
For my friend, Vikki, though, what to pack isn't as important as whom to pack. She takes her family and friends everywhere. Vikki took her mother skiing in Mammoth last November and she took my mother-in-law to the ruins of Machu Picchu and Rome. Vikki has taken numerous people to exotic places like the outback in Australia, and the Greek Islands—all posthumously and in her bag.
You see, Vikki collects prayer cards from funerals and memorials of her loved ones and takes them with her wherever she goes. The cards, some with watercolor images of Jesus and others with pictures of a deceased friend and “in loving memory” printed beneath, are bound together with a rubber band and stashed somewhere in Vikki’s carry-on.
I'm fascinated by this practice and ask her about it often. I like to keep tabs on the number of cards she carries as it increases. At last count Vikki was toting around forty people. I’ve often thought that when the tally reached fifty-two, I’d propose some kind of card game we could play. My husband, Larry and I sometimes travel with Vikki and her husband, Bill, so we could while away the hours on trains and boats by playing some modified version of war, poker, or go-fish.
Obviously, I’m not as sentimental about Vikki’s collection as she is, but on a trip two years ago, I witnessed the power of those prayer cards.
Larry and I were in Peru with Vikki and Bill. We had just finished dinner at a restaurant in Aguas Calientes, when Vikki slid a small card across the table to Larry and asked, “Would you like to have your mom with you tomorrow when you climb Machu Picchu?” Larry was visibly moved by the gesture and slipped the prayer card from his mother’s funeral into his shirt pocket. When we walked the ancient, Incan ruins the next day, Larry had his mom with him and I could sense the joy he felt in her presence.
It was then I realized the enormous happiness Vikki must feel, having some forty loved ones near her at all times.
With all the rules today about what travelers can’t bring on a flight, maybe we’d all be a little more pleasant if we focused on the things we can bring and make sure they are what make us happy or at least smile, smile, smile.

The first of April is commonly known as April Fools’ Day, and it is customarily on this day to play a trick on a friend. If your friend falls into the trap, then he or she is an April Fool. It isn’t only children that like such jokes. Grownups like such pranks, too.
4月1日是大家都知道的"愚人节"。这一天可以拿朋友开心。如果你的朋友上当了,他或她就是"四月的傻瓜"。
Even the media occasionally try to deceive the public with a clever April Fool story. Some years ago, for example, a famous joke was played on the radio. A scientific correspondent reported that strange geological changes had resulted in weaker gravity in different parts of Britain. He asked listeners to jump up and down and see if they could jump higher than they normally could. Many people did. The hundreds of calls the BBC received proved how successful the hoax was. Not until twelve o’clock did the BBC gently remind its listeners it was April Fools’ Day that day.
不但孩子们喜欢开这种玩笑,大人们也一样喜欢。甚至新闻媒介有时也编造巧妙的故事欺骗公众。例如,几年前电台跟听众开了个大玩笑。一位报导科学新闻的记者说,由于奇怪的地质变化,英国各地区的重力减小了。这位记者让听众上下跳跳,看是不是比平常跳得高一些。许多人都照着做了。当成百上千的电话打到英国广播公司时,证明这场骗局成功了。直到中午12点时,英国广播公司才和蔼地提醒听众那一天是"愚人节"。
Making jokes only lasts until the noon of the day, the rule is rigid and everywhere acknowledged. Anyone who tries to make a fool after midday is a bigger fool than he who has been fooled. The late trickster is instantly rebuffed.as a piece of poem goes:
但愚人节这天开玩笑只能开到中午12点之前。这是约定俗成的严格规矩。过了中午还找乐儿的人是一个比被他取笑的人还大的大傻瓜。过了钟点还开玩笑的人会立刻碰个钉子,自找没趣儿。正如一首诗所述:
April Fools gone and past .
愚人节已过12点,
you're the biggest fool at last.
你这个大傻瓜来得晚。
when April Fool's Day comes again.
待到来年愚人节,
you'll be the biggest fool then.
你将是个最大的傻瓜。

Bindi Irwin, the 8-year-old daughter of the late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, followed in her dad’s footsteps Thursday, using her American television debut to talk about animals.The khaki-clad girl skipped across the stage holding a blue-tongued lizard as she greeted audiences of the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
年仅八岁的宾蒂,欧文是已过世的“鳄鱼猎”史蒂夫·欧文的女儿。她追随着父亲的脚步,于周四初次登上美国电视荧屏与人们谈论动物。这个穿着黄褐色外衣的女孩拿着一只蓝舌头的晰蝎蹦蹦跳跳地跃上舞台,问候了《艾伦·德杰尼勒斯脱口秀》的现场观众。
"This is Spanky. He’s 10 years old," Bindi told DeGeneres as she prodded the lizard to lick her face in an attempt to show its tongue.
“它叫史班基,10岁了”宾蒂边告诉德杰尼勒斯边戳晰蝎,让它舔她的脸,试图向观众们展示晰蝎的舌头。
"I just love animals. My dad really brought it out in me," Bindi said. "He’s the one that made me."
“我只喜欢动物,爸爸真的把它们带入了我的生活。”宾蒂说,“是他造就了我。”
The only footage showing Irwin's death has now been destroyed, Terri Irwin told TV's "Access Hollywood" in an interview airing this week that the tape was destroyed when it was no longer needed for the investigation into his death.
唯一记录着欧文去世的影片镜头已经被毁掉,泰瑞·欧文在本周一次公开访谈中对《走近好莱坞》节目剧组中的工作人员说当已无需再对史蒂夫的死因进行调查的时候,录像带就被毁了。
"There's standard protocols for examining certain evidence and that's no longer necessary, so we're very proud that Steve's last documentary is going to air and that's his last footage with wildlife," she said.
“我们有审查确凿证据的合法协议,但没那个必要。因此,我们可以无比自豪地说矛史蒂夫最后的记录影片将被公开播放。这也是最后一个记录他与野生动物在一起的镜头。“她说。

父亲的一言一行都能使我们受益匪浅,惭愧终生。因为在我们心中父亲永远比我们崇高。下面是读文网小编为大家带来有关父亲英语美文,欢迎大家欣赏这些英文阅读!
Many years ago, a baby boy came into this world. But unfortunately, he didn't come with a cry, which was a big problem from the medical point of view. The doctor, tough and quick, turned the baby upside down and slapped his bottom sharply. The baby cried, and he survived. At that moment, the father yelled at the doctor, "Why did you hit my baby?" He did not realize that the doctor had saved the baby's life. The baby cried and cried, and the father smiled and silently cried as well. He held the baby in his arms and did not allow the doctor to touch the baby anymore...
很多年前,一个男婴来到了这个世界。但遗憾的是他没有“呱呱落地”,从医学角度来说,这是一个很大的问题!好在医生现场反应很快,也很强悍,一下子把男婴倒提起来,对着屁股一阵狂打。男婴终于哭了,脱离了生命危险。当时在场的孩子父亲不干了,对着医生吼道,“你为什么打我的孩子啊?”他并没有意识到医生救了这孩子的命。男婴不停地哭,这位父亲面带微笑,高兴地默默流泪。他紧紧地把婴儿抱在怀里,再也没有让医生碰一下这个孩子……
Contest chair, ladies and gentlemen, that baby was me, and that man was my dad. Whenever my mom told people this story, I would always laugh aloud, and my dad would just shake his head and smile quietly.
大会主持人,女士们先生们,那个婴儿就是我,那个男的就是我老爸。每当妈告诉别人这个故事时,我总会放声大笑,而老爸则会一边摇头一边默默地微笑。
Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And of course, he never said "I love you" to me, either. Maybe it's a Chinese cultural thing, or maybe that's the way my dad was. But whenever I felt defeated, sad or lonely, dad was always there. Dad was a man of few words, but I always liked to talk to him, and I could always feel a very special connection to him.
我小的时候爸从来不抱我,从来不亲我,当然他也从来不说“我爱你”这三个字。也许这是中国文化的问题,也许爸就是这种人。但每当我受挫、伤心或孤独无助时,爸总会在默默地关心我。老爸话不多,但我总喜欢有什么话都给他说,同是我也总是能感到和老爸之间那种无法言喻的特殊关系。
As I got older, I had a huge crush on a girl. She was tall and beautiful, with long hair. One day, I walked up to her and blurted out, "you are so beautiful baby. I love you so much. Please be my wife!" She was afraid and ran away with tears in her eyes. She told my teacher, and my teacher was so angry that she made me stay after school, and called my dad to take me home. My first love was over, and that year I was 7 years old.
等我大一些的时候我疯狂爱上了一个女孩子。她又高又漂亮,还有一头长发。终于有一天,我忍不住了,走到她面前,很快地说道,“亲爱的,你太漂亮了!我太爱你了!做我老婆吧!”没想到她吓坏了,抹着眼泪跑掉了,然后就告诉了老师。老师当时非常生气,放学后没让我回家,并给老爸打电话,让他过来领人。我的初恋就这样夭折了,那年我七岁……
On the way home, dad was very quiet. It seemed that nothing had happened. Finally I broke the silence and asked him, "Daddy, did I do something wrong?" Dad paused for a while as he always did and said quietly, "Son, you did nothing wrong, except that it's too early for you to pursue girls." "Daddy, do you think I could marry a tall and beautiful girl with long hair when I grow up?" I asked. Dad gave me one of his rare laughs and said, "Of course you could. You are so handsome! Just like your handsome father." For the first time, I realized that dad had a sense of humor, although he was always quiet.
回家路上老爸非常沉默,好像什么事都没发生。最后我打破了沉默,问道,“爸爸,我做错什么了吗?”和往常一样,老爸沉默了一下,轻轻地说到,“儿子,你没做错什么,只是你这个年龄追女孩子有点早。”“爸爸,你觉得我长大能娶一个又高又漂亮,头发很长的老婆吗?”我又问道。老爸听了很难得地大笑了一下,说道,“当然能了!你那么帅,跟你老爸一样帅!”我第一次感到,老爸虽然话不多,但还是有些幽默感的。
When I was in high school, dad retired and set up a food stand on the street near my school. Dad was very good at making fried noodles, and a lot of people liked his noodles. Every day when I finished school, my classmates and I would pass his food stand. But I really hated talking to dad in front of his food stand, because I did not want my classmates to know that my dad was selling noodles on the street!
等到我上高中的时候老爸退休了,在离我学校不远的街边摆起了面摊儿。老爸很擅长做炒面,当时很多人都很喜欢他做的面。每天放学回家,我和我的同学们都要路过爸的面摊。但那时候我真得很讨厌站在他摊前和他说话,因为我实在不想让我的同学知道我有一个在大街上摆摊的老爸。
One night, I couldn't stand it any more and shouted, "Dad, could you stop selling your stupid noodles? I don't need a father who sells noodles on the street!" At that moment, dad was shocked. He tried to say something but didn't. When he turned his head away, something happened that I had never seen and would never forget for the rest of my life. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I saw dad crying. My mom later told me that dad was selling noodles to save money for my college education. I was such an idiot, and even today I still feel guilty for that night.
一天晚上我再也忍不住了,朝老爸吼道,“你能不能不再去卖面条?我不需要一个只会在大街上卖面条的父亲!”在那一刻爸惊呆了,他想要说些什么,但最终没有说。当他扭过头的时候,我发现他的眼里含着泪水和哀伤。我从未见过老爸这个样子。妈后来告诉我,老爸摆摊卖面条是在为我上大学攒学费。我太蠢了!即使今天,我仍然为那天晚上的所作所为而感到内疚。
Time really flies. I finished college and then left my home city. For the past ten years, whenever I've visited home, dad was always there meeting me and seeing me off quietly at the railway station. Whenever he saw me off, he never tried to hug me or touch me, although I always expected a father's hug. When I was away from home, dad never wrote or called me, but he always pushed my mom to call me. Whenever mom was calling me, dad would sit beside her with a list of questions. He would instruct mom to talk to me for him. That's the way dad is, and that's how dad shows his love to me.
时间飞逝,我念完了大学,后来又离开了我所在的城市。在过去的十年中,每当我回老家,老爸总会默默地在火车站迎我然后再送我。每当他在车站送我时,他从来不会和拥别,也从来不会碰我一下,虽然我总是期待他能抱我一下。当我远在他乡时,老爸从来不会给我写信,也从来不给我打电话。但他总是会催妈给我打电话。每当妈给我打电话时,老爸就会坐在她身边,准备好一些问题,然后让妈帮他传话。
I was married three years ago. Dad was very happy for me. And now he likes to tell people that his daughter-in-law is tall and beautiful, with long hair...
三年前我结婚了,老爸很为我感到高兴。现在他喜欢告诉别人,他的儿媳妇又高又漂亮,还有一头长发……
Dad is still quiet, but I still feel a connection. Ladies and gentlemen, when a connection is deep and powerful, it lives in a place far beyond words, and it becomes something special—"a silent father's love."
老爸话仍然不多,但我仍然能感到和他之间的那种特殊的密切关系。女士们先生们,当这种关系变得如此深厚和强烈时,它会根植于某处,再也无法用语言表达;它会变成一种特殊的情感:一种无言的父爱。

回忆那些在一起的时光,友情的岁月,是记忆里最美的画面。今天读文网小编在这里为大家分享一些有关友情双语美文,欢迎大家阅读!
Just like a band or gang of superheroes needs members who have different talents and powers, a circle of friends should have exactly the same thing. It's important to have diversity and to be able to look for support from a variety of sources. They also help us to keep broader perspective on life。
就像一个乐队或是一群超级英雄需要具有不同天赋和能力的成员,一个朋友圈也应这样。拥有差异性并且能够从各种来源中寻求支持很重要,他们也可以帮助我们拥有更广阔的视野。
You need different types of friends in the same way that you need food from different food groups. Different types of friends serve different purposes and nourish and enrich our lives in different ways。
你需要不同类型的朋友,就像你需要不同种类的食物一样。不同类型的朋友有不同的作用,他们以不同的方式来丰富我们的生活。
While many of us are lucky to count our real friends on one hand, there are certain types of people it’s good to have around. So, how many do you know?
虽然很多人都很幸运的拥有真正的朋友,但有几种类型的朋友确实值得拥有。那么你知道几种呢?
1. The friend who is cooler than you比你更酷的朋友
The world changes quickly and some people are just that little bit better at keeping up with what's hip than we are. Like those friends who know that NO ONE EVER says "hip" any more, for instance. We like to be around these people, because they're a beacon of cool. Cool things just flock to them.
这个世界瞬息万变,总有一些人比我们更了解什么是流行,就像有些朋友们知道现在没有人再说“hip”这个词。我们喜欢围绕着这些人,因为他们是流行的指向标。潮流朝着他们蜂拥而至。
These are the people who help you to open your eyes, have a flow-on effect for introducing you to other cool people and help to unstick yourself from the rut that's all too easy to get bogged in. These people enrich your life by exposing you to things that may have otherwise have passed you by。
这些人开阔了你的视野,让你认识到更多的潮人,使我们打破常规,突破自我。他们向你展示一些你可能已经错过的东西,从而丰富我们的生活。
2. The friend who is up for anything时刻待命的朋友
People are busy, we get it. But there's nothing more frustrating than having to reschedule your re-re-re-scheduled catch-up. Everyone needs a friend who you can call at the drop of a hat. A friend who says "hell yeah, I'm up for that". That's why it's good to have a mate who you don't need to issue a 28-day notice to just to meet for a frappuccino. It's refreshing (the friend, that is, not necessarily the frappuccino。
我们知道现在每个人都很忙,但最令人沮丧的事就是:你不得不一次次重新安排你的行程。每个人都需要一个随叫随到的朋友,他会对你说:“嗨,我就来。” 我们不需要为了一杯咖啡提前28天预约,这就是拥有这类朋友的好处,这令人感到愉快。(这种朋友不仅可以和你一起喝咖啡的,也可以和你一起经历人生。)
This friend is the flexible, no frills friend who makes your life a breeze. Nothing is ever too hard and they're open to doing new things and changing plans at short notice. Their enthusiasm is contagious and you always have more fun when they are around。
这种朋友是灵活的,不会摆架子来搅乱你的生活。对他们而言,没有什么事情是不可克服的,他们乐于去尝试做一些新鲜而又刺激的事情。他们的热情会感染你,当你待在他们身边时你总能收获更多的欢乐。
3. The friend who you aspire to be 令你渴望成为他那种人的朋友
Oprah Winfrey once said: "Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher". And we all need to live life a little bit closer to Oprah. These people challenge you to be the best version of yourself. The only downside is that sometimes they can be infuriating
and inspiring in equal measure. This friend is only an important role model if they behave in ways that are authentic and genuine. They will see the best in you and give you important feedback on both your strengths and weaknesses.
"奥普拉·温弗瑞曾说:“和那些可以让你提升自己的人在一起。” 我们都需要像奥普拉那样生活。这些人可以激励你变得更优秀,唯一的不足就是,有时在他们激励你的时候又会使你恼羞成怒。如果他们的行为是真诚的,那么他们就是你很重要的行为榜样。他们会看见你最好的一面,也会指出你的优劣。
4. The friend who doesn't know any of your other friends与你其他朋友不相干的朋友
We like integration. We like killing two birds with one stone by catching up with several groups of friends at once. But there are times when you need to make an S.O.S call to a friend who is completely uninvolved and removed from a situation who can offer objective advice so it a bonus that your friendship exists without orbiting around your other ones.
我们喜欢结伴而行,我们喜欢同时交好多朋友以达到一箭多雕的目的。但是有时我们需要一个可以发出“急救信号”的朋友,他与这件事毫不相干但是可以提供客观的建议。你们的友谊在这个朋友圈之外也可以存在,这是一件令人高兴的事。
There is a level of privacy to this friendship that doesn't exist in friendship circles. It will be easier to share some of your hopes and dreams, fears and concerns knowing that they are not going to be discussed when you're not around。
这种朋友圈之外的友谊拥有一定程度的隐私。你可以很轻松的倾诉你的希望、梦想、恐惧和担忧,而不用担心你不在场时被别人议论。
5. The friend who is painfully honest犀利却诚实的朋友
An honest friend will not always tell you what you want to hear, but they'll certainly tell you what you need to know like if he/she is really that into you. When you've got a crisis on your hands or need to make a quick decision they are your go-to. They're also there to keep you away from mixing paisleys and stripes.
一个诚实的朋友不会总讲那些你想听的话,但如果他/她是真的关心你,他们会不时的讲一些你想知道的事。在紧要关头或面临进退两难的境地时,他们就是你的首选。他们会让你远离那些麻烦事。
This type of friend has the strength of feedback and is a pearl who will tell it to you straight when others won't or will sugarcoat things at the very least. This friend is someone who does it with good intentions and for your own benefit。
这种朋友有很强的反馈力,他会直言不讳的告诉你别人不愿说或掩饰的事实。这种朋友这样做是出于好意,是真心为你着想的。
6. The friend you've known than you've known yourself了解你更胜于你了解自己的朋友
History. Sometimes it works to your advantage, other times it doesn't. This is that friend who sees you out of the context of your job, your relationship, your other friends and your life as it is now. This is the friend who knew you when you had pimples and a bowl cut.
历史有时候会对我们产生有利的影响,有时候则相反。这些是能看到你的工作背景、人际关系、恋爱关系和现有生活之外的朋友。他们知道你什么时候有过粉刺,什么时候剪过西瓜头发型,他们非常了解你。
There is something special about this person because they feel like home. It's nice and comforting to be around someone who has known you forever. This is a friend you never have to put on a brave face for. They know you better than you know yourself and accept you unconditionally.
在他们身上有一些特别的东西,让你感觉像家人一样亲切。和了解你的人待在一起,会让你感觉很舒服。你不必在他们面前故作坚强,他们比你更了解你自己,而且毫无条件的接受你。

Freda Bright says, "Only in opera do people die of love." It's true. You really can't love somebody to death. I've known people to die from no love, but I've never known anyone to be loved to death. We just can't love one another enough.
弗里达-布赖特说过:“只有在歌剧中,人们才会为爱而死。” 这是千真万确的。的确,你不会因为爱一个人而死。我知道有人因为缺乏爱而死,可我从来没有听说过谁因被爱而死。我们恰好是相互之间爱也爱不够。
A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise.
有一个感人的故事,讲的是有个女人终于决定去向老板提出加薪的要求。她一整天都焦虑不安。下午晚些时候,她鼓起勇气向老板提议。让她感到高兴的是,老板同意给她加薪。
The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or... did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down?
当晚,女人回家后,发现漂亮的餐桌上已经摆满了丰盛的菜肴,烛光在轻轻地摇曳着。丈夫提早回家准备了一顿庆祝宴。她心想,会不会是办公室里有人向他通风报信了呢?或者……他不知怎么竟知道她不会被拒绝?
She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read, "Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you."
她在厨房找到了他,告诉了他这个好消息。他们拥抱亲吻,然后坐下来共享美餐。在她的盘子旁边,女人看到了一张字迹优美的便条。上面写着:“祝贺你,亲爱的!我就知道你会加薪的。我为你做的这一切会告诉你,我有多么爱你。”
Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read, "Don't worry about not getting the raise! You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you."
晚餐后,丈夫到厨房洗碗。她注意到又有张卡片从他口袋里掉了出来。她把卡片从地板上拣起来,念道:“不要因为没有加薪而烦恼!不管怎样,是该给你加薪了!我为你做的这一切会告诉你,我有多么爱你。”
Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his spouse is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and soothes her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction.
有人曾经说过,爱的限度就是无限度地去爱。不管妻子成功还是失败,这个男人都给予她完全的包容和爱。他的爱庆祝她的胜利,也抚平她的创伤。不管生活的道路上遇到什么,他们始终同舟共济。
Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said, "What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family." And love your friends. Love them without measure.
特蕾莎修女在接受诺贝尔和平奖时说道:“你能为促进世界和平做些什么呢?回家爱你的家人吧。” 还要爱你的朋友。爱他们无止境

母爱是伟大的,是世间上最伟大的力量,我们要感谢母亲为我们所作出的一切付出,回报母亲的爱。下面读文网小编为大家带来有关母爱的双语美文,欢迎大家阅读!
Dear God,
亲爱的上帝:
Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
如今我已不再年轻,一些朋友的母亲已经去世了。我曾听这些子女们说过,他们从没有向母亲充分表示过他们的感激之情,而待到要告诉时为时已晚了。
I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.
幸运的是,我亲爱的母亲依然健在。我对她的感情与日俱增。母亲没有变,而我却变了。随着年岁的增长,我越来越懂事了,我认识到她是个非常了不起的人。这些话在她面前我难以启齿,但在笔下却可以轻易地写出来,这令我感到多么难过。
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes her mother really is?
一个女儿该怎样开口感谢她的母亲所给予的生命?感谢她在抚养孩子时所付出的爱、耐心以及无私的辛勤劳动?感谢她跟在蹒跚学步的孩子身后奔跑,对情绪不定的少女的理解,以及对一个自以为是的大学生的宽容? 感谢她等待女儿认识到她真是一位好母亲的这一天?
How does a grown woman thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying: "I told you so", when she could have uttered these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself--loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?
一个成年女子该怎样感谢母亲依然如故的角色?感谢在被问到时她会及时提供良言,而在不需要时她会保持沉默?感谢她没有说:"我告诉过你,"而她本来可以说上许多次?感谢她始终不变的爱心、体贴周到、耐心与宽容厚道?
I don't know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.
我不知道该怎样来表达,亲爱的上帝,除了请求你好好地保佑她--那是她该得到的--并帮助我朝她做出的榜样看齐。我祈愿在孩子的眼里我会如同母亲在我眼里一般好。
A daughter
一个女儿

父爱如山,和母爱一样是这个世界上最为伟大的爱!下面读文网小编为大家带来有关父爱的英语作文美文,希望大家喜欢!
There is always a brilliant image living in my heart. That is my dear father. Seen through the eyes of many other people, father seems to be a very ordinary person. But he is quite extraordinary in my eyes, I have never lost my wonder at his good-personalities such as diligence, devotion, care, optimism ever since my childhood.
Being a farmer, father works very hard in the fields all the year round. He works from dawn till dusk every day and even till midnight when it is the harvest season. He seldom enjoys leisure with other farmers even if the farm work is not much. He chooses to live a busy life with reluctance to stop for a while.
Father devotes all himself to our family. As we are poor, he always tries his best to support our family and afford the tuitions for my brother and me. For the whole family, for brother and me, he never stops working laboriously in the fields throughout the year. Now he has got a wrinkled face and white hair because of excessive hard work, looking much older and weaker than any other person of his age. In spite of all this, father never complains to us. It is his full devotion that we're living a better life now. It is his full devotion that both my brother and I are able to study at college.
Father shows much care to us children and my mother as well. Whenever there is any delicious food on the table, he just leaves it to us while he takes the simple one himself. If my brother and I fall ill, he will not hesitate a moment to get some medicine for us or take us to see the doctor. My mother suffers a bad disease. Father looks after her very carefully. He never lets mother do any heavy work both at home and in the field. Mother appreciates him m much that she often praises him as a model husband before others.
Father is a person full of optimism. He never complains about our poor life. He is never frustrated by trouble. He often tells us that everything will be all right if we have enough confidence in life. Due to his optimism, we are all confident to face our life and work.
We all think that father is not in the least an ordinary man. He plays an extraordinary role in my family. We can't have anything without him. Now I'm pursuing further studies at college far away from father. I miss him very much. And I often see him in my dreams. His great image is deeply carved in my mind.
