星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第17篇

The Power of Beauty One of the most successful, influential and beloved women in American history, Eleanor Roosevelt once said that she had one regret: she wished she had been prettier.Who hasn’t felt the same way? We are all too aware of our physical imperfections.To overcome them, we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion, and plastic surgery.Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters.Because beauty is powerful.Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty.No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us.There is simply no escape.Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” It’s not fair, but it’s true.We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others.Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of a homely author.Our sensitivity to physical beauty is not something we can control at will.We are born with it.Experiments conducted by psychologist Judith J.Langlois showed that even small infants prefer to look at attractive faces.Before they have met a single supermodel, before they have watched a single TV show, before they have opened up a single fashion magazine, they are drawn to the same faces which adults have judged to be attractive.There are more important things in life than beauty.But as Etcoff says, “We have to understand beauty, or we will always be enslaved by it.” If you aim to be wise and kind and funny, it doesn’t mean that you can’t also try your best to look beautiful.There’s no reason to feel guilty about being moved by beauty’s power.It moves us all.翻译：

美的力量

身为美国史上最成功、最有影响力且最受人喜爱的女性之一的罗斯福夫人曾说她有一个遗憾：她希望自己长得更漂亮。谁没有过同样的想法呢？我们都强烈感觉到自己身体的缺陷。为了克服缺陷，我们每年都要花费几十亿美元--在化妆品、减肥食品、流行时尚与整容手术上。

我们如此这么在意自己的外貌？因为它很重要。因为美的力量很大。因为即使我们学着基本上去看重仁慈、智能、风趣的人，但我们仍会受到美的感动。无论我们多么用力辩驳，或假装对它免疫，美仍然对我们产生影响。根本无法逃避。

亚里斯多德说：“美是比任何介绍信都要有用的推荐函。”这并不公平，但却是事实。我们就是会对美丽的人比较好。把一位美丽作家的照片贴在作品上，读者就会认为这篇文章较有创意，写得更有智能。完全相同的文章配上相貌平凡的作家照片，评价就会较低。

我们对外在美的敏感，不是可以控制自如的。我们天生就这么敏感。心理学家朱迪丝蓝洛斯的实验显示，就连小婴儿也喜欢看漂亮的脸。他们从来没有见过超级名模、没看过电视节目，也没翻开过时尚杂志，却已经受到大人也认为有魅力的脸庞所吸引。

人生中有比美丽更重要的事，但就如艾特考夫所说：“我们必须了解美，否则我们永远都会是它的奴隶。”如果你的目标是要聪明、仁慈又风趣，这并不代表你就不能尽力让自己变得漂亮。被美的力量感动，并不需要有罪恶感，因为所有的人都受它感动。

The Child’s Guardian Angel

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.One day he asked God: “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”

God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you.She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”

“But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy.”

“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day.And you will feel your angel's love and be happy.”

“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?”

“Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.”

“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”

“Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”

“I've heard that on earth there are bad men.Who will protect me?”

“Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.”

“But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.”

“Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.”

Hat moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard.And the child in a hurry asked softly: “Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.”

“Your angel's name is of no importance, you will call your angel: 'Mommy'.”

孩子的守护天使

有一个婴儿即将出生。一天，这个小孩问上帝，“他们告诉我，你将要把我送到地球，不过为什么我在那儿会那么小和无助呢？”

上帝说，“在所有的天使之中，我已经选中了一个给你。她将会等待你和照顾你。”

“不过”，小孩问了，“请告诉我－－在天堂我除了歌唱和微笑之外什么都不做。这些是我快乐所需要的！”

上帝说，“你的天使每天将会为你歌唱和微笑。你将会感受到你的天使的爱，你会感到快乐。”

“还有”，小孩又问了，“如果我不懂他们说的语言，当人们对我说话的时候我怎样才会理解呢？”

“这很简单，”上帝说，“你的天使将教会你语言中最美丽和最甜蜜的词语，带着最大的耐心和关怀，你的天使将教会你怎样说话。

小孩抬头看着上帝说，“我想和你说话的时候我该怎么做呢？”

上帝微笑着对小孩说，“你的天使会把你的双手放在一起然后教会你怎样祈祷。”

小孩说，“我听说地球上有坏人，谁将会保护我呢？”

上帝把手放在小孩身上，说，“你的天使将会保护你，甚至会冒生命的危险！”

小孩看起来有些悲伤，他说，“我将会一直感到悲伤因为我再也看不到你了。”

上帝拥抱着小孩。“你的天使以后会一直跟你说有关我的事情，还会教你回到我身边的方法，虽说我一直与你同在。”

在这一刻小孩在天堂感到了无比的安详，不过已经可以听到从地球传来的声音小孩有点急促，温柔的问“上帝啊，如果我现在将要离开，请告诉我我的天使的名字！”

上帝回答说，“你的天使的名字并不那么重要，你可以简单的叫她---“妈妈”。

Excuses Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter.People say they'd like to do this or that,but...then they offer all the excuses in the world why they can't do whatever it is.No matter what the excuses are,the only thing usually limiting them is their own self-perception.If I've learned anyhing,I've learned a person--any person--can do just about anything they set their mind to.The only thing they need is a willingness to work for what you want,patience to learn what you need to know,and just a little bit of belief in yourself,but you only need a seed.Your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward.If you self-perception is that you can't accompilsh somthing because you're not smart enough,then take the time to learn what you need to know and your self-perception will change.If your self-perception is that you can't accompilsh something because you never finsh anything you start,then go finsh something and change your self-perception.If your self-perception is that you're too lazy,too bust,too unworthy,too unfocused,too depressed,too dependent on others,the you're right.You are that because you believe that,but you can change that!

Life is change,and the past doesn't equal the future.Your today is the result of your past beliefs and actions.Change your beliefs and action and you change your future.If you think you can or you can't,you're right.You are what you think.Think about that the next time you need an excuse.翻译：

借口

有些人站在“借口”这一柜台后虚度一生。有人说，自己想做这个，想做那个，但是······于是便给出他们所能找到的各种借口，来解释自己为什么不能去做这些事。无论借口是什么，大概唯一能限制他们行动的只是他们的自我意识。

如果说我学到了什么，那就是我意识到一个人——任何人——都可以做他决定想做的一切。你唯一需要的是：为理想而努力的意志，学习所需知识的耐心和一点点自信。其实最需要的只是自信的一粒小小的种籽。自信会随着你的进步而增强。如果你自以为不够聪明而无法成功，那就花时间去学习你所需要的知识，这样你的自我感觉就会改变。

如果你认为自己太懒惰，太忙碌，太无足轻重，太不专心，太消沉，太依赖别人，太这样太那样而不能成大器，那么你是对的。你相信如此，便会如此。但你能改变一切。

生活无时无刻不在变化，过去不等于将来。你的现在是你过去的信念与行动的结果。改变信念和行动就会改变你的未来。你认为自己能或不能，你都是对的。你就是你所认为的样子。

下次需要找借口时，请好好想想

Conside...you.In all time before now and in all time to come,there has never been and will never be anyone just like you.You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe.Wow!Stop and think about that.You're better than one in a million,or a billion,or a 1 gazillion.You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!

You're amazing!You're awesome!And by the way,TAG,you're it.As amazing and awesome as you already are,you can be even more so.Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature,but beautiful old people are true works of art.But you don't become “beautiful” just by virtue of the aging process.Real beauty comes from learning,growing,and loving in the ways of life.That is the Art of life.Youcan leam slowly,and sometimes painfully,by just waiting for life to happen to you.Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers.You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.Paint a Masterpiece.God gives every bird its food,but he doesn't throw it into its nest.Wherever you want to go,whatever you want to do,it's truly up to you..翻译:

关于...你。

在过去和将来的所有时间内，从来也再不会有任何一个人像你一。.你在历史和宇宙的未来中是唯一的。哇，停下来想一想，你是百万分之，亿万分之一，无数万分之一。

你是无尽的海洋中的唯一一个。

你令人感叹！你令人敬畏！顺便说，TAG，你就是。你已经如此令人感叹，令人敬畏，你还可以更加如此。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇想，美丽的老人是艺术的杰作。但是你不能只靠时间的流逝变得美丽。

真正的美丽来自于学习，成长，和对生活的热爱。那是生活的艺术。如果你坐等生活，你会学得慢，学的痛苦。而你可以加速你的成长，有目的的献身于生活提供给你的挑战。你是一个艺术家，用今天的画笔绘出你的将来。

绘出一幅杰作。

上帝给每个鸟食物，但没有放进它们的鸟窝。你想去何方，你想做何事,真正取决于你自己。

What is Life About ?

What is life about? We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition.We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love to do.One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition.Life is definitely not about work!Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.Life is a balance of work and play, family and personal time.You have to decide how you want to balance your life.Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts.Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life,the whole aim of human existence.So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature.Life is fragile.Life is short.Do not take life for granted.Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life!

生活的意义

生活是关于什么的呢?我们每天努力地去赚更多的钱，去得到权力和认可。我们忽视了我们的健康，忽视了与家人在一起的时间，忽视了欣赏周围的美丽，忽视了自己的爱好。某一天当我们往回看的时候，我们会发现自己其实真正需要的并不是太多，但是时光不能倒转，我们也找不回失去的东西。

生活不是赚钱，不是去追求权利和别人的认可。生活绝对不只是工作!工作只是帮助我们去生存，以便于我们享受生活中的荚丽和快乐。

生活是一种工作时间和玩乐时间，家庭时间和个人时间的平衡。你必须自己去决定怎么去平衡你的生活。确定你自己最先做什么，明白什么是可以迟些做的，但是总体来说，让你的一些决定跟着你的本能走。快乐是生活的意义和目的，是人类存在的整个目标。所以，放松点，去做那些你想做的事情，重视自然。生活是脆弱的，短暂的。不要把生活想得理所当然，过一种平衡的生活方式，去享受生活吧。
