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。

摘要:实际上,男人在40岁、女人在38岁时感到最快乐,因为此时的他们不仅拥有健康的身体,还拥有更多的朋友。
You'd think the carefree days of childhood would rank as most people's happiest.
But in fact men are happiest at 40 while women are most content at 38 when they are fit and healthy and have good friends.
你可能还一直觉得无忧无虑的童年时代是大多数人的人生中最快乐的光阴。
但实际上,男人在40岁、女人在38岁时感到最快乐,因为此时的他们不仅拥有健康的身体,还拥有更多的朋友。
A survey revealed that the best moments in life are the birth of a first child, your wedding day and the birth of grandchildren.
调查显示人生中最快乐的时刻有:第一个孩子出生的时候、结婚典礼的时候以及孙子或孙女出生的时候。
The findings, from a poll of 1,000 people aged 70 and over by the insurance firm Beagle Street, show that loving relationships are more important than money or material gain.
英国保险公司比格街对1000名70岁以上的老人进行的调查显示,爱情比金钱和物质更重要。
The most common regrets were choosing the wrong career and not pursuing lifelong dreams.
而人生中最令人后悔的事情有:选错行业、未能追求毕生的梦想。
The research involved quizzing 1,000 'life experts' aged 70 or older who have the benefit of life experience and hindsight. They were asked about their happiest moments and their biggest regrets in life.
该项调查对1000名70岁以上、生活经验丰富、人生感悟深刻的老人进行提问,问题包括人生中最快乐的时刻和最后悔的事情。
Other happiest moments to make the top ten included the day you retire, moving into a new home, seeing your child's first steps and meeting the man or woman of your dreams.
十个人生最快乐的时刻还包括:退休那天、搬新家的时候、看到自己孩子迈出第一步的那一刻以及见到自己梦中情人的时候。
The research was carried out by online insurance company Beagle Street to mark the release of a new short film called Happiest Moment, featuring some of the UK's oldest couples passing on advice to the younger generation.
比格街公司进行这项调查是为了配合电影短片《幸福时刻》的上映,该片讲述的是英国一些年迈夫妇给年轻一代的人生建议。
More than half the people questioned said they had no regrets in life, but for those that did the most common regret was choosing the wrong career and not pursuing lifelong dreams.
有一半的受调查老人表示他们的人生中没有遗憾,但另一半老人表示他们最后悔的事情是选错行业和未能追求毕生梦想。
One in ten of those with regrets wished they had worked harder in school and seven per cent regretted not travelling the world more.
人生存在遗憾的老人中有10%表示他们希望在学校学习时能更用功一些,7%的人后悔未能去更多的地方旅游。
The other two to make the top five were getting divorced and getting married too soon.
另外,最让人后悔的事情还包括离婚和闪婚。
The top piece if advice the pensioners could pass on to younger generations was to never take the people you love for granted.
在老人们给年轻人的建议中排第一位的是:不要视爱人为理所当然的。
Other top pearls of wisdom were 'believe in yourself', 'nothing worth having comes easy' and 'don't hold grudges'.
另外一些人生箴言还包括“相信自己”“获得有价值的东西从来都不是易事”“不要心怀妒忌”。
Matthew Gledhill, managing director of Beagle Street, said: 'The overwhelming message from those with the most life experience is that the key to happiness is to worry less and live in the moment with the people you care about most.
比格街的总经理马修·格莱德希尔说:“所有这些生活经验和人生感悟都表明,幸福最关键的在于减少忧虑和担心、同你最爱的人一起活好生命中的每一刻。”
'We commissioned Happiest Moment because we want our customers to be happy as it is scientifically proven that happier people live longer.“
制作短片《幸福时刻》的目的也是希望我们的客户都能够快乐,因为科学研究表明,快乐的人更长寿。”
'As much as people look to the future and try to climb career ladders, the film and our research clearly show that happiness is linked much more heavily to relationships, friends and family than societal or monetary status.'
“虽然很多人都在展望未来且不断地努力攀向事业巅峰,但这部短片以及我们的调查都清晰地表明,比起财富和社会地位,爱情、朋友和家庭更能令人幸福。”
Age 33 is the best year of our lives, a new survey has found.
A British website, Friends Reunited, says that 70% of people over 40 picked that age as their happiest. Just 6% said they were content during their college years, the site reported. And only 16% pined for theirchildhood years. One in three surveyed found their happiness in having children, while only one in five linked their sense of joy to their job.
一项最新的研究发现,33岁是人生最快乐的时候。
英国社交网站“朋友重聚”调查研究发现,在40岁以上的人群中,有七成的人认为33岁是他们最快乐的年龄。只有6%的人觉得大学时期是最幸福的,而16%的人选择了童年时期。有三分之一的人觉得有了孩子之后很快乐,而只有五分之一的人把他们的快乐和工作联系起来。
“The age of 33 is enough time to have shaken off childhood naivete and the wild scheming of teenaged years without losing the energy and enthusiasm of youth. By this age innocence has been lost, but our sense of reality is mixed with a strong sense of hope. We have yet to develop the cynicism and world-weariness that comes with later years.” psychologist Donna Dawson said.
心理学家多娜-道森表示“33岁的时候,人们已经不再有年轻时候的天真和小心眼,但仍然保持着年轻人所拥有的活力与热情。人到了33岁,以前的天真幼稚不复存在,转而变得更加现实,而在现实中又仍然充满希望。在这之后的岁月里,我们将变得愤世嫉俗,对什么事都提不起兴趣。”

摘要:不再等待某事的发生,走出去,让事情发生。倾听自己内心,有冲动的时候就去做出改变。如果你想要改善自己和母亲之间的关系,那就去创造你想要生活发生的改变。如果你更想要一种情感上的联系,领路奠定基调吧。在自己想要的地方制造改变,那么在你接近目标的每一步,快乐都会自然渗透。
You receive a promotion and are extremely proud. As the day goes by, you share your great news with your loved ones and find yourself feeling increasingly happy. Fast forward a week later, and although you are still feeling proud, the happiness you initially felt is dwindling, and your success has become just another check on your list.
You are not sure why, but know this is a cycle you find yourself in often -- a cycle where your happiness seems to be temporary and your success is short lived.
你得到升职,别提有多自豪了。在这一天,你和自己爱的人分享好消息,感觉越发快乐。一星期后,尽管你仍觉得自豪,最初的快乐却在消逝,而你的成功,只成了你在自己清单上打勾的一项。
你不明白为什么,但知道这是一个你常常经历的循环——在这个循环里,你的快乐看似短暂,你的成功转瞬即逝。
This form of happiness is not true happiness, which is why it did not last. True happiness exists within and does not waver regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in. It does not come from a promotion or a vacation, it comes from moving forward as life does. Everyone is born with happiness, but as you experience life, it becomes tainted by situations or people. Getting to a point where you are again tapping into your true happiness can be very challenging, particularly for people who are sensitive, intuitive, or empathic, but here you will find seven steps to help make the process easier for yourself.
这种快乐,不是真正的快乐。真正的快乐来自内心,不随你所处环境改变。它不因升值或者假期而来,而是随着生活向前走。每个人天生快乐,但随着生活经历,这种快乐被各种情况或者人污染。到了这个时候,想要找回真正的快乐,会是很挑战的事情,尤其对敏感的、直觉型的,或者有恻隐之心的人而言。但以下七个步骤,会让你重找快乐的过程容易一些。
Step 1: Let the past go
你不是真正的快乐
步骤1:放开过去
Holding on to the past keeps you in place of unforgivingness, resentment, pain, longing, and regret as opposed to the opposite. It also keeps you stuck, which often creates an unfulfilling present. Start forgiving today and unravel all those years of pain. Let go of resentment and forgive those who have hurt you or who you have hurt, overcome mistakes made, and forget regrets. Allow yourself to move forward and let go at the end of each day.
抓住过去不放,让你停留在埋怨、怨恨、痛苦、渴望和后悔之中,而你本该有这些的反面。放不开过去也让你受困,这常常制造出一种对当下的不满。今天开始原谅和解开过去这些年的痛苦。丢掉怨恨,原谅那些伤害过你的和你伤害过的人们,战胜曾犯过的错,忘记后悔的事。在每天的结束的时候,让自己向前走,放开过去的事。
Step 2: Accept yourself and others
步骤2:接受自己和他人
Comparing yourself to others will keep you in a place of not being good enough or them not being good enough; either way coming to a point of "not enough." If there is a feeling or thought of not enough, no matter what you or others accomplish and receive in life, it will not be enough. Accepting that everyone is unique and has their own life to live will make it easier to accept them and yourself.
将自己和他人比较,你总会觉得自己或者他人不够好;无论哪种都会归结到“不够好”的一点。如果有不够好的感觉或想法,无论你或其他人在生活中完成什么,收到什么,它总是不够好。每个人都是独特的,有他们自己的生活,认识到这点会让你更容易接受他人和自己。
Step 3: Connect to your source
步骤3:连接自己的本源
Connecting to your source means connecting to who you are, what your beliefs are, and what spirituality means to you. It means having a clear understanding of these and matching your actions as you give yourself permission to live as who you are.
连接自己的本源,意味着去联系到你是谁,你的信仰是什么,精神生活对你而言意味着什么。它意味着对这些问题有清晰的理解,同时对应地匹配你的行为,因为你允许自己以真我生活。
Step 4: Trust in yourself
步骤4:信赖自己
Trusting in yourself means trusting your inner truth, even when it does not match that of others, and living and speaking it. It means being confident with choices and decisions you make and trusting the path you are on. It means trusting that you want the best for yourself and will not allow anyone or anything to hurt you. This also helps you see the best in everything and everyone, making you feel safe.
信赖自己意味着相信你内心的真理,即使在它和其他人的想法不符的时候,同时去实践它,讲出来。这意味着对自己的选择和决定感到自信,相信你在走的这条路。这意味着相信你想要对自己而言最好的,不会允许任何人或事物伤害你。这也帮助你看到每个事物和每个人最好的地方,给你安全感。
Step 5: Take responsibility
步骤5:负起责任
Taking responsibility is more challenging than it sounds, but understanding that everything happens for a reason and that you do have choice when something does not play out the way you thought it would will help with the process. You have a choice on how you are going to let it affect your life. Even if life brings you what you did not have in mind, embrace it. Take responsibility of yourself and choose to see the blessing in everything.
负责任比听起来更具挑战。但是每件事发生都有其原因,而当事情不如你所想的方向发展时,你是有选择权的。懂得这点,会对你负起责任的过程有所帮助。你可以选择它将怎样影响你的生活。即使生活给你没想过的,接受它。对自己负起责任,同时选择去看到每个事物的闪光点。
Step 6: Adapt an attitude of gratitude
步骤6:心存感恩
Your attitude paves the way of your path, and any sort of negativity will create an ungrateful experience. Adapting an attitude of gratitude and appreciating everything, specially the small stuff, will make life more enjoyable for you. It will also help you become more optimistic and positive. Practice waking up and being grateful for simply being alive that day and see the ripple effect it creates.
你的态度铺就了你所走的路,而任何形式的负面能量会制造一种负心的经历。培养感恩的心态,欣赏每件事物,特别是细小之处,会让你的生活更享受。这也会帮你变得更加乐观和积极。练习醒来的时候仅仅为自己那天还活着心存感恩,看看这样做带来的连锁反应吧。
Step 7: Create change
步骤7:创造改变
Instead of waiting for something to happen, go out and make things happen. Listen to yourself and make changes wherever you feel compelled. If you want to improve the relationship between you and your mother, then go and create the change you want to take place in your life. If you are wanting more of an emotional connection, lead the way and set the tone. Create change where you want it, and happiness will naturally seep out of you with each step you take in the direction of your goal.
不再等待某事的发生,走出去,让事情发生。倾听自己内心,有冲动的时候就去做出改变。如果你想要改善自己和母亲之间的关系,那就去创造你想要生活发生的改变。如果你更想要一种情感上的联系,领路奠定基调吧。在自己想要的地方制造改变,那么在你接近目标的每一步,快乐都会自然渗透。

摘要:最近的研究发现,无聊可以激发人们的创造力,从而在一定程度上逃离可怕的,令人沮丧的,无意义的无聊感。
Being bored can spur people’s creativity — partly to escape the horrible, frustrated, and meaningless feeling of boredom — recent studies find.
It could even be true at work.
最近的研究发现,无聊可以激发人们的创造力,从而在一定程度上逃离可怕的,令人沮丧的,无意义的无聊感。
工作中甚至也是如此。
Psychologists at the University of Central Lancashire had participants copy numbers out of the telephone book for 15 minutes, while others went straight into a standard creativity task (Mann & Cadman, 2013).
无聊感可以激发人的创造力
中央兰开夏大学的心理学家们让参与者连续15分钟抄写电话本中的号码,而其他人直接进入标准的创造力测试。(曼恩 & 卡德曼, 2013)
Both groups were asked to come up with as many different uses as they could for a polystyrene cup. The group that were more bored came up with the most uses.
两组参与者都被要求尽可能多地想出塑料杯的不同用法,而更无聊的那一组想出的办法更多。
Dr Sandi Mann, one of the study’s authors said:
此篇研究文章的作者之一,桑迪-曼恩博士说:
“Boredom at work has always been seen as something to be eliminated, but perhaps we should be embracing it in order to enhance our creativity. What we want to do next is to see what the practical implications of this finding are. Do people who are bored at work become more creative in other areas of their work — or do they go home and write novels?”
“工作中的无聊情绪经常是被看做不可取的,但为了提高创造力,或许我们应该接受它。接下来我们要做的是看看这次发现会产生什么实际影响。在工作中感到无聊的人会在其他领域更具有创造性吗?---或者说他们会回家写小说吗?”
In a subsequent study they found that creativity was reduced when people were still bored but didn’t have the chance to daydream.
在接下来的研究中他们发现,当人们一直感到无聊而没有机会做白日梦的时候,他们的创造力会下降。
The purpose of boredom
无聊感的用途
While we tend to think of boredom as something that inevitably leads to trouble — drinking, gambling, antisocial behaviour — this research suggests different possibilities.
虽然无聊感容易被我们当成导致酗酒,赌博以及反社会行为等问题的罪魁祸首,但这个调查向我们展示了它的其他可能性。
More than anything, the feeling of boredom is a strong signal that we are stuck in some kind of rut and we need to seek out new goals.
作为一个信号,无聊感比其他任何事情都更能提醒我们,现在我们陷入了一成不变的生活中,需要寻求新的目标。
In the study above, this search led participants to new ideas.
在上面的研究中,这种尝试帮助参与者们产生了新的想法。
Usually people will do anything to avoid being bored, as it’s such an aversive experience. But creative people, like writers, sometimes talk about seeking out boredom.
通常人们会做各种事情去避免无聊,因为这是一种非常糟糕的体验。但是有创造力的人们,比如作家,有时候会说起想要寻求无聊感。
Here is the comedy writer Graham Linehan talking about boredom to The Guardian:
喜剧作家格雷厄姆-莱恩汉在对卫报谈起无聊时这样说道:
“I have to use all these programs that cut off the internet, force me to be bored, because being bored is an essential part of writing, and the internet has made it very hard to be bored.The creative process requires a period of boredom, of being stuck. That’s actually a very uncomfortable period that a lot of people mistake for writer’s block, but it’s actually just part one of a long process.”
“我会尝试各种办法远离网络,强迫自己感到无聊,因为无聊感是写作很重要的一部分,而网络使人很难感到无聊。创作的过程中会有一段时间感到无聊并停滞不前,事实上这是一段很不舒服的时期,因为人们往往会误解认为作家遇到了瓶颈,但它其实只是漫长的创作过程中很平常的一部分。”
So, when you start to feel bored, instead of glancing at your smartphone, try being bored for a bit.
所以,当你开始感到无聊,停止浏览你的智能手机,尝试着让这种无聊保持一段时间。
Who knows what creative thought might come of it?
谁知道会有怎样的奇思妙想喷薄而出呢?

摘要:我儿时看到的那个尘土飞扬、危险重重并且毅然决然的印度要有趣得多。她指的是她在恰尔肯德邦的童年时光。她说,那时的印度给她的印象是村落、村庄政治、贫穷、许多欢声笑语以及非常牢固的社会关系。
The Problem With Delhi's Rich Kids
A woman I went to college with in New Delhi, now 29, lives in her family home on Prithviraj Road, one of the toniest parts of the capital. She has a shiny new convertible BMW 3 series, bought by her father. She doesn't have a job.
我在新德里读大学时的一位同窗现在和家人住在Prithviraj Road,这是新德里最时髦的地区之一。她今年29岁,有一辆崭新的宝马三系敞篷车,是她爸爸买给她的。她没有工作。
印度富二代为何不快乐
She called me recently and we met for lunch. She looked dull and withdrawn. She told me she was extremely depressed and felt that her life wasn't worth living. She isn't the only Delhi rich kid to feel this way.
最近她给我打电话,我们一起吃了一顿午饭。她看起来无精打采,还略显孤独。她告诉我,她感到极度沮丧,并且感觉她的生活毫无价值。她并不是德里唯一一个有这种感觉的富家子女。
Sanjay Chugh, a Delhi-based psychiatrist, says he treats three or four young, wealthy, unhappy patients a day. 'Such children are often brought up being told that they have nothing to worry about and that money can take care of everything,' he said.
德里精神病医生丘格(Sanjay Chugh)说,他每天都会治疗三、四个年轻、有钱,但是不快乐的患者。他说,这些孩子在成长过程中经常被告知他们无需担忧任何事,钱能解决一切问题。
Often, newly wealthy parents don't want their children to go through the hardships they experienced growing up, Mr. Chugh says. But they fail to teach them there is more to life than fancy drinks, new toys and branded clothes.
丘格说,通常刚当上父母的有钱人不希望他们的孩子经历他们成长过程中的艰辛。但他们没有告诉孩子生活中有更多比花俏的饮品、新玩具和名牌服装更重要的事情。
On a recent evening at a posh lounge in Delhi, I saw Prada and Gucci-clad teenagers arrive in Lamborghinis, Jaguars and Porsches. They air kissed and went to the bar. 'Hedonism is back,' a note on bar's website says.
最近一个晚上在一家时髦的酒吧,我看到一群身穿普拉达(Prada)和古奇(Gucci)的青少年分别开着兰博基尼(Lamborghinis)、捷豹(Jaguars)和保时捷(Porsches)来到这里。他们打了飞吻,然后进入这家酒吧。这家酒吧的网站上说:享乐主义回来了。
After an hour or so of drinking, a chubby guy in the group got the bill. 'Oh, just 60? Not bad,' he said loudly. It was 60,000 rupees ($1,000.)
在对饮大约一个小时后,他们当中一个较胖的男孩拿到账单。他大声说,才60?真不错。他指的是60个1000卢比,也就是6万卢比(合1,000美元)。
An acquaintance in Delhi says she spends most afternoons in her apartment, sitting on the couch drinking beer and smoking marijuana.
一位在德里的现年30岁的熟人说,她下午大部分时间都呆在公寓里,坐在沙发上喝啤酒和吸大麻。
'I always got what I wanted, and that's just how it works and always will,' the 30-year-old said. When she was 13, she asked her parents for a top of the range laptop, and she got it. 'Apart from this, you are not getting anything this year, except that holiday in Cairo,' she quotes her parents as saying.
她说:我总是能得到我想要的,我的生活就是这样,并且永远都会这样。当她13岁时,她曾要求父母给她买一个高端笔记本电脑,然后她就如愿以偿了。她引述她父母当时的话说,除了这个,今年你不能要其他任何东西,去开罗度假除外。
Mr. Chugh says many young patients are in denial of their depression.
丘格说,许多年轻患者不愿承认他们患有抑郁症。
He says situations and symptoms often include a need for instant gratification, an abundance of money, feelings of emptiness and lack of purpose, minimal parental supervision, and alcohol and drug addiction.
他说,他们的处境和症状通常包括需要即时满足感、金钱富足、有空虚感、缺失目标、很少受到父母监督以及烟酒成瘾。
'They never learnt how to be responsible for themselves and those around them, and they keep moving from one thing, place, or person to another in pursuit of happiness,' he said.
他说,他们从未学过如何对他们自己和周围的人负责,他们对东西、地方或者人的兴趣总是在变,以追求快乐。
Samir Modi, managing director of Modi Enterprises and father of two teenage girls, believes there are two different approaches to raising children. 'You either spoil them or you make them realize the value of money,' he said.
Modi Enterprises的董事总经理莫迪(Samir Modi)是两个十几岁女孩的父亲。他认为抚养孩子的方式无外乎两种。他说,你要么溺爱他们,要么让他们意识到金钱的价值。
His daughters have some luxuries, he said, but they get a set allowance each month. 'They have to manage within it, no matter what,' he said. If you give children all the money they want, they won't have a reason to work for it in the future, he added.
他说,他的女儿有一些奢侈品,但他们每月有固定的零用钱,他们只能在这个额度内满足自己的开销,无论发生什么。他补充说,如果子女想要多少钱你都满足他们,他们以后就没有理由为赚钱而去工作。
'It is our job as parents to lead by example and set clear objectives and boundaries for our children,' he said.
他说,以身作则并为孩子设定清楚的目标和界限,这是我们作为父母的职责。
Radhika Borde, a social scientist who spent her formative years in New Delhi, comes from a privileged background and her grandmother left her a handsome inheritance when she died.
社会学家博尔德(Radhika Borde)曾在新德里度过了她的性格形成时期,她来自特权阶层,她的祖母在离世后给她留下了一大笔遗产。
'I lived in Delhi during the period of my undergraduate education and had the typically glamorous lifestyle of people my age,' she said in a recent interview. 'Very soon however, I started to find it quite boring.'
她最近在接受采访时表示:我在读大学本科时住在德里,过着同龄人那种典型的纸醉金迷的生活,但是不久我就开始发现这种生活非常无聊。
'The India of dirt, danger and determination that I saw as a child was far more interesting,' she said, referring to her childhood in Jharkhand. 'This was the India of villages, village politics, poverty, many smiles, laughter and strong social ties,' she said.
她说:我儿时看到的那个尘土飞扬、危险重重并且毅然决然的印度要有趣得多。她指的是她在恰尔肯德邦的童年时光。她说,那时的印度给她的印象是村落、村庄政治、贫穷、许多欢声笑语以及非常牢固的社会关系。

'Unfortunately, this problem is increasing day by day and it will be more serious in the future,' said G. Satyanarayana, a sociology professor at Osmania University in Hyderabad. '[Parents] have no time to spend with children and inculcate essential values needed for a rooted, balanced and healthy life.'
海得拉巴奥斯马尼亚大学(Osmania University)社会学教授萨蒂亚纳拉亚纳(G. Satyanarayana)说,不幸的是,这个问题正在日益加剧,未来将会更加严重。(父母们)没有时间与他们的孩子共处,教给他们根基牢固、平衡并且健康的生活需要的基本价值观。
'Modern society is rational and rigid, whereas postmodern society is irrational and flexible by definition. Delhi transformed into a postmodern society about two decades ago. Naturally the behavior of kids born in the postmodern era reflects the postmodern culture,' he added.
他说,现代社会是理性的和刻板的,而后现代社会根据定义是不理性的和灵活的。德里在大概20年前转变为后现代社会,在这个时期出生的孩子的行为自然就反映出后现代文化特征。
I met my college friend at her mansion again. She sipped her tea, munched on cookies and stared blankly at a huge rock on her finger. She said she had just got engaged to an investment banker and will have a beautiful house on Baker Street in London. Apart from that, she barely spoke to me.
我与那位大学同窗在她的豪宅又见过一次面。她当时一边小口抿茶,一边吃着饼干,茫然的盯着她手指上带的那块巨大的宝石。她说,她刚刚与一位投资银行家订婚,她将在伦敦贝克大街拥有一栋漂亮的住房。除此之外,她几乎没怎么和我说话。

购物是一件很开心的事情,购物[Shopping]意指:购买物品。简单来说就是人们购买各种各样物品的行为或方式,物品包括实物和虚拟物品。对很多人来说,购物是一种休闲活动,可以逛不同的商店选购产品。下面读文网小编为大家带来购物英语阅读,欢迎大家阅读!
据哈佛医学院和美国老年研究会的研究人员介绍,红葡萄酒中所含的一种天然物质可以抵消有害健康的高脂肪饮食的负面影响,能起到延年益寿的作用。
研究人员在红葡萄酒中发现了一种名叫多元酚的物质,这种物质不仅使试验小白鼠的寿命得以延长,而且还减少了它们患心脏病、糖尿病和由肥胖引发的其它疾病的几率。
研究人员给其中一组小白鼠喂食饱和脂肪,相当于每顿吃一个奶油蛋糕,结果发现,这些小白鼠变成了“肥胖鼠”,而且还患上了肝病、心脏病等疾病,它们的寿命比饮食正常的白鼠要短得多。
而另一组小白鼠在被喂以高脂肪食物的同时,还摄入了从红葡萄中提取的多元酚。结果发现,这组小白鼠虽然也变得肥胖,但它们的健康状况和寿命与正常白鼠几乎差不多。
此外,研究发现,多元酚是造成所谓的“法国异常”现象的主要原因。虽然法国人爱食肉类、奶酪和面包等脂肪含量较高的食物,但他们患心脏病的几率较低。
红葡萄酒中所含的多元酚对于昆虫、果蝇和酵母具有同样功效。
哈佛医学院研究小组成员约瑟夫·鲍尔说:“我们希望得出的结论是,多元酚能够起到与热量限制相同的作用,但目前还无法确定。”
哈佛医学院在发表的一份声明中提到,此项“白鼠实验”首次表明,多元酚能使哺乳动物的寿命延长。

气球种类有很多,可以作为装饰,开业庆典做的拱门,可以装饰舞会等等,那么你知道气球用英语怎么说吗?现在跟读文网小编一起学习气球的英语知识吧。
In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments:
几年前,在一所大学的开幕典礼中,可口可乐的首席执行官布赖恩•戴森讲到工作与其他义务的关系:
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
想象生命是一场不停丢掷五个球于空中的游戏。这五个球分别为工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵,而且你很努力地掷着这五个球,不让它们落地。很快地你会了解工作是一个橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它,它还是会弹回来。
But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
但是家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。一旦你失手落下,它们可能会少了一角,留下无法挽回的记号、刻痕、损坏甚至碎落一地。它们将永远不会跟以前一样。你必须了解这个道理,并且为平衡你的生命而努力。但要怎么才做得到呢?
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
别拿自己和他人比较,这只会降低了你原有的价值。因为我们都是独一无二的,因为我们每一个人都很特别。
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
别人认为重要的事不一定是你的目标。只有你才知道什么最适合你。
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
不要将贴近你的心的人、事物视为理所当然的存在。你必须将他们视为你的生命一般好好地抓牢他们。没有他们,生命将失去意义。
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
别让你的生命总在依恋过去种种或是寄望未来中逝去。如果你活在每个当下,你就活出了生命中的每一天。
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
当你还能给予的时候别轻言放弃。只要你不放弃,就有无限延伸的可能。
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
别害怕承认你并非完美。正因如此,我们才得以藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地串绑在一起。
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
别害怕遇到危险。正因如此,我们才得以藉由这些机会学习勇敢。
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
别以爱太难找到作为借口而紧闭你的心扉。最迅速找到爱的方法就是给予你的爱;最快速失去爱的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱不放;维持爱的最好方式就是给爱一双翅膀。
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
莫要匆忙地度过你的一生,那匆忙让你忘了曾经到过哪里,也让你忘了你要去哪里。
Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
莫忘记,人类情感上最大的需要是感恩。
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
莫害怕学习。知识没有重量,它是可以随意携带的珍宝。
Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
莫漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或口无遮拦。时间与言词两者都是一放便收不回来。
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
生命不是一场赛跑, 而是一步一个脚印的旅程。
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that’s why we call it ‘The Present’.
过去已成历史,未来充满未知。今天是份礼物:那就是我们称之为“现在”的原因。
