经典英语散文:I like the subtle 我喜欢这种淡淡的感觉
I like the subtle 我喜欢这种淡淡的感觉
I like the subtle fresh green budding from the branches of the tree--the herald of spring, ushering in the dawn I like the subtle flow of cloud that makes the sky seem even more vast, azure and immense I like the subtle wind.In spring, it steals a kiss on my cheek;in autumn, it caresses my face;in summer, it brings in cool sweet smell;in winter, it carries a crisp chilliness I like the subtle taste of tea that last long after a sip.The subtle bitter is what it is meant to be I like the subtle friendship that does not hold people together.In stead, an occasional greeting spreads our longings far beyond I like the subtle longing for a friend, when I sink deeply in a couch, mind wandering in memories of the past Love should also be subtle, without enslaving the ones fallen into her arms.Not a bit less nor a bit more Subtle friendship is true;subtle greetings are enough;subtle love is tender;subtle longing is deep;subtle wishes come from the bottom of your heart 我喜欢这种淡淡的感觉
我喜欢看树枝上那淡淡的嫩绿,它是春天的使者,它是一天清晨的开始„„ 我喜欢天空中那淡淡的云，它将天空衬的更高更蓝更宽„„
我喜欢淡淡的风。春风轻吻脸颊，秋风抚面温柔，夏天的风送来凉爽，冬天的风带来清凉„„
我喜欢喝淡淡的茶,淡淡之中才品出它余味的清香,淡淡的苦才是它原来的味道„„
英语美文欣赏
我喜欢追求淡淡的友谊。彼此之间不需要天天在一起，偶尔一句：你好吗？思念就像发芽一样蔓延开来„„
我喜欢淡淡地思念一个人,静静地将自己包围在沙发之中，任思绪在回忆里飘荡„„
爱也要淡淡的。爱，不要成为囚，少是愁多也是忧„„
淡淡的一点友谊很真，淡淡的一点问候很醇，淡淡的一点依恋很清，淡淡的一点孤独很美，淡淡的一点思念很深，淡淡的一点祝福最真„„

1.追寻生命的意义，对于豆蔻年华的我们，或许真的过于沉重。但至少此刻我已懂得，生命的意义不在于长短，而在于它的过程是否有价值。既然人无法控制生死轮回，那为何不以一颗落叶般的坦然的心去尊重生命，珍爱生命，品味生命，然后再坦然的告别生命呢？风停了，落叶稳稳的停在地上。在这个从容的叶落时节，酝酿着又一个新的开端。
2.小时候，总是有一双手把我们拉向成功的彼岸，拂亮我们迷茫的双眼，照亮我们美好的前程。可是，你是否想过，温室里的幼苗只能成为一颗薪柴，他不是迎接早晨的第一缕阳光，不能顶起夏天的烈日，不能收获秋天的硕果，更不能面临严冬的摧残，它永远不可能长成一棵粗壮的栋梁，不能拥有一个完整的生命，这甜是暂时的。
3.我们的生命需要升华。聪明的人懂得超脱，懂得破碎，懂得牺牲，更懂得放弃。不管繁华喧闹的大都市如何改变，不管红尘世俗的生活如何变迁，不管个人的选择如何高下，不管手中的事物如何轻重，我们虽逃避也勇敢，虽放弃也欣慰。我们继续向生活的深处慢慢走去。我们逐步放弃，又在逐步拥有。
4．如果说友谊是一颗常青树，那么，浇灌它的必定是出自心田的清泉；如果说友谊是一朵开不败的鲜花，那么，照耀它的必定是从心中升起的太阳。多少笑声都是友谊唤起的，多少眼泪都是友谊揩干的。友谊的港湾温情脉脉，友谊的清风灌满征帆。友谊不是感情的投资，它不需要股息和分红。
5．爱心是一片照射在冬日的阳光，使贫病交迫的人感到人间的温暖；爱心是一泓出现在沙漠里的泉水，使濒临绝境的人重新看到生活的希望；爱心是一首飘荡在夜空的歌谣，使孤苦无依的人获得心灵的慰藉。
6．即使青春是一枝娇艳的花，但我明白，一枝独放永远不是春天，春天该是万紫千红的世界。即使青春是一株大地伟岸的树，但我明白，一株独秀永远不是挺拔，成行成排的林木，才是遮风挡沙的绿色长城。即使青春是一叶大海孤高的帆，但我明白，一叶孤帆很难远航，千帆竞发才是大海的壮观。
7．走进秋天，你不必为秋叶的凋零而疼惜；也不必为秋花的孤放而孤独，更不必为大雁的离去而忧伤……看，天更高了，地更阔了，水更绿了。我躺在秋的怀抱里，看秋的色彩，听秋的密语，感秋的心跳……
8．生命是短暂的，这对于有形的生命而言，无论是彪炳千秋的伟人，还是遗臭万年的奸臣。但生命又是永恒的，这是基于无形的生命而言，不管他是千年前修建阿房宫的匠人，还是芸芸众生中的凡夫俗子。消逝的是有形的生命，永不消逝的是历史文明残留下来的精神力量，它常常昭示者历史的力量，生命的价值。9．孤独就是一种玲珑美,身在其外,感到一种茫然,身在其中,一种享受,一种沉醉.看到茉莉在杯中浮动,身体渐渐舒张,最后绽放开来.这不就是一次新生,一次美的回忆?孤独,细细倾听内心的哭泣,慢慢追忆尘封的往事.英语美文欣赏
10．“感谢伤害你的人，因为他磨练你的意志；感谢绊倒你的人，因为他强健了你的双腿；感谢欺骗你的人，因为他增进了你的智慧；感谢蔑视你的人，因为他觉醒了你的自尊……”遭遇别人的蔑视时，最好的方法就是永不屈服，默默奋斗，用成功回敬他们！
11．“泰山不择细土方能成其大，江河不拒微流才能有其深。”接纳和宽容是让自己强大起来的最好办法，不能容人，就难得挚友，不能宽容就能的真心。伟人之伟，不是因为他个人的力量，而是他的接纳与宽容，把许多人集合起来，宽容的基座上，才放上了他那高高的人生雕塑。
12．宽容是气势雄伟的高山，它既能容纳献花，也能接受荆棘，它可以哺育参天大树，也可以滋养平凡的小草，宽容是胸怀广博的大海，它能容下滔滔江河，也能容下涓涓细流，它里面既可以万舟竟发，百舸争流，也可以轻舻摇曳，一叶扁舟。宽容是一种精神，是“得饶人处且饶人”的豁达大度，宽容是一种境界，一种以德报怨的高尚伟岸。
13．花朵把春天的门打开，绿荫把夏天的门打开，硕果把秋天的门打开，飞雪把冬天的门打开，真诚把友谊的门打开。我们每个人都渴望得到友谊，只懂索取，不懂付出，只懂享受，不懂培育，于是友谊也就离他而去。友谊需要用真诚去播种，需要心，照亮迷途者前进的方向，驱散孤独者心中的阴云，点燃失败者的希望。
14．啊！暴风雨来了。雨携云带电，似一位勇猛的将军，身骑黑云骏马，手持闪电钢刀，在天空中任意驰骋。雨像一根无情的辫子，抽打着地面；风像一头发怒的雄狮，狂吼着天地，把玻璃震得咯吱咯吱响。雨又大了一些。像波涛在澎湃，像野马在平原上奔驰，各种响声连成一片，成了一首很有节奏的钢琴曲。15．青春的花开花谢让我疲倦，四季的雨水雪舞让我心碎。淡淡的云，淡淡的梦，淡淡的晨晨昏昏，淡淡的雨，淡淡的泪，淡淡的年年岁岁，有爱，有伤，有快乐，有痛苦，不明白自己在此刻为何那样感伤，风和叶注入了我泛泛的忧伤，坐落了心中所有的思绪。
16．因为有了春的宽容，生命才会“枯枝发新芽”中延续；因为有了夏的宽容，花园里才会涌动金色郁金香的花潮；因为有了秋的宽容，叶儿才能伴着飒飒秋风在空中舞出优美的曲线；因为有了冬的宽容，才会诞生出一个冰清玉洁的天地。17．梅须逊雪三分白，雪却输梅一段香。“梅花有它的情韵，白雪也有它的风采。杨柳之婀娜，翠竹之秀丽，兰草之清幽，青松之壮美，任何事物都在大自然中展示着自己的个性，不是吗？”鹰击长空，鱼翔浅底，万类霜天竞自由。“万物各有自己的锋芒，泰山雄，华山险，黄山奇，梅花傲骨，兰花素雅，万里北国雪飘，江南草长莺飞，塞外骆驼铃声声，水乡牧笛袅袅，它们各有千秋。
18．我们常用自己的眼睛衡量别人的生活，却不知顽石有顽石的理想，激流有激流的道路，每一朵花都有它盛开的土壤，每一个人都有自己的快乐，即使是最艰难的道路，生命也会有小小的满足和幸福来装饰，简单的心一旦复杂起来，快乐和幸福就会越来越远。
19．湖水蓝蓝的，真静哪！静得让你看不出它流动，轻风一吹层层水浪，犹如起了皱的裙幅，均匀地平铺在湖面上。蓝蓝的湖水映着雪白的云，鼓起的浪花吻着流云的倩影，明极了，亮极了。这云，这水，这天，这浪和着柔柔的微风，好一派优美的景致，使人心旷神怡。
20．月光下，似有低吟浅唱，寻声瞅去，原是一弯清流，闪动着明晃晃的光斑，神秘地流向远处。峰回路转，刚发现的涧溪一眨眼就看不见了，而那泛泛的 英语美文欣赏
水石相击声，仍然清晰地冲击着耳鼓，涧溪啊，孤独的散步者，你从哪里来，又要奔向哪里去呢？

英语优秀短篇美文欣赏
Looking into the sunset I cant help but notice
that despite her beauty,
a sense of struggle and hopeless surround the sky .
Deep inside you realize that this day is gone,
and everything that It had brought is lost forever.
Every thought,every action,every dream,every hope,
every sight,every sound is gone.
There is no chance of every being returned the same,
exactly the same.
For every moment has a limit to what it can capture,
Every memory has a limit to what it had retrieve.
凝望夕阳，我无法抑止地看到，
无论她是如何的美丽动人，
挣扎和绝望依然萦绕天幕，
内心深处，你明白今日已逝，
它所带来的一切也永远消失了，
每一脉思想，每一次行动，每一个梦想，每一线希望，
每一幅景象，每一缕声音，都消逝而去，
一切都不可能还复如初，
和原来一模一样，
只因每一个时刻所能捕捉的东西是有限的'，
甚至每一段记忆所能缅怀的一切也是有限的。
And the colours in the sky try to entertain us.
one last act with painted smiles,
for they too know that nothing can be done to save the day.
So futile their attempt to comfort our fear of the night.
our horror as we try to find our way,
like children who wanderinto a forest and never return.
I am ingratiatedby the sunset because of
her sensitivity as she tries to push the darkness
back for just a moment more.
But like so many times before....to no avail!
而天空中的绮丽色彩努力让我们快乐起来，
最后上演的是五彩缤纷的微笑，
因为它们也知晓，做什么都无法留住时日，
它们想安慰我们对夜的恐惧，而又如此徒劳无益，
虽然恐惧，我们依然寻找出路，
宛若在林中的孩心，彷徨不知归路，
我满心欢喜，只因夕阳的敏感，
她竭力将黑暗推回，仅仅为了再多驻留一刻，
可却犹如以往，一切都无济于事....

True Nobility真正的高贵
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.在风平浪静的大海上,每个人都是领航员。
But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.Take the lot of the happiest-it is a tangled yarn.Bereavements and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns.Even death itself makes life more loving.Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.但只有阳光没有阴影,只有快乐没有痛苦,根本不是真正的生活.就拿最幸福的人来说,他的生活也是一团缠结在一起的乱麻。痛苦与幸福交替出现,使得我们一会悲伤一会高兴。甚至死亡本身都使得生命更加可爱。在人生清醒的时刻,在悲伤与失落的阴影之下,人们与真实的自我最为接近。
In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.在生活和事业的种种事务之中，性格比才智更能指导我们，心灵比头脑更能引导我们，而由判断获得的克制、耐心和教养比天分更能让我们受益。
I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without.In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.我一向认为，内心生活开始更为严谨的人，他的外在生活也会变得更为简朴。在物欲横流的年代，但愿我能向世人表明：人类的真正需求少得多么可怜。
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance.There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man.The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.反思自己的过错不至于重蹈覆辙才是真正的悔悟。高人一等并没有什么值得夸耀的。真正的高贵是优于过去的自已。
Write Your Own Life.书写你的生命
Suppose someone gave you a pen — a sealed, solid-colored pen.You couldn’t seehow much ink it had.假设有人给了你一枝笔，一枝密封的、纯色的水笔，里面有多少墨水你看不到。
It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece(or several)that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things.You don’t know before you begin.很可能刚刚试写几字便用干耗尽；也可能足以完成一部或几部杰作，永存于世，使世事为之大变。Under the rules of the game, you really never know.You have to take achance!
而这一切你在动笔之前却是一无所知。根据游戏的规则，你确实永远也不会知道，只能冒一下险。Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything.Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.而事实上，也没有规则说你就一定要做些什么。你大可以把笔搁在架子上、放在抽屉里，弃置不用，任墨水蒸发干净。
But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?
然而，如果你真的决定使用，你会做什么？怎么来做这个游戏？
Wouldyou plan and plan before you ever wrote a word?
你会左计划、右计划，然后才慢慢下笔吗？
Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?
计划会不会太泛太多，根本就达不到写作这一步？
Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you?
会不会提笔在手迫不及待地投入其中，任由手中的笔、笔下的字带着你在词海中上下翻腾、左突右冲？Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe(or pretend to believe)that the pen will write forever and proceed accord gly?会不会下笔谨小慎微，似乎墨水随时都将干涸？会不会假装或相信、或假装相信笔中墨水永不会枯竭，任你挥洒？
And of what would you write: Of love? Hate? Fun?Misery?Life?Death?Nothing Everything?
你会写些什么？爱情？仇恨？乐趣？痛苦？生命？死亡？虚无空空抑或世事万种？
Would you write to please just yourself? Or others?Or yourself by writing for others?
是会用来自娱？还是取悦他人？还是为人写作而愉悦自身？
Would your strokes be tremblingly timid or brilliantly bold? Fancy with a flourish or plain?
你的一笔一划会颤抖怯懦还是亮丽大胆？花里胡哨还是朴实无华？
Would you even write? Once you have the pen, no rule says you have to write.Would you sketch? Scribble? Doodle or draw?
你确实会去写吗？你一旦有了这枝笔，却也没有规则说你一定就要去写。你会粗粗写来？潦潦草草？信手涂鸦？还是认真描画？
Would you stay in or on the lines, or see no lines at all, even if they were there? Or are they? There’s a lot to think about here, isn’t there?
你会写在线里还是写在线上，或者对纸上的线格根本就视而不见？真的有什么线格吗？此时此刻，有很多东西值得思考，不是吗？
Now, suppose someone gave you a life...那么，假设有人给了你一次生命……
cherish now no longer missed 珍惜现在不再错过
John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique zither and played it in the crowded subway station.The music emanating from the zither was delicately streaming throughout the whole station.However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music.A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around.John only got 52 U.S.dollar for his work that day.音乐家约翰带着一把价值不菲的古董名琴，悄悄来到人潮不断的地铁站演奏。弦音曼妙，在空旷处流淌。将近一小时的演奏中，真正驻足聆听者只有六七人。最捧场的是一位三岁小童，听得入神。约翰当天得到52美元赏金。
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price.Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast.平日，约翰的演奏会举行时，一张票超过100美元，且一票难求。后来，不少当时就在地铁站的观众扼腕自己眼拙，错过了一场免费或者廉价的音乐盛宴。
I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that hiswife came down with acute illness.He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day.Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three
months.After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife.But now, it is impossible to make up for it.有位忙碌的朋友得知老婆罹患重症，彻头彻尾变了一个人：亲自下厨，陪太太散步……可是妻子敌不过病魔摧残，三个月后就撒手人寰。他很伤感地说，太忙了，错过与妻子营造最美好的人生时光，想弥补却弥补不回来。
A doctor’s son jumped from the 19th floor of a building and left a posthumous letter which expressed his strong desire for staying more with his father, going to see a movie with his father, etc.Not until his son committed suicide had the doctor realized that the most precious thing is not career achievement, but the tight and intact family bonds.医生的儿子从19楼一跃而下，留下一封遗书，信中留言：最想爸爸陪他，最想看电影，最希望快快乐乐……儿子自杀之后，爸爸才明白，人生中最珍贵的不是成就，而是亲情。
It is no use crying over spilt milk.We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.可惜千金难买早知道，很多美好的事，往往简简单单就被轻易错过了。
Actually, I also missed something precious before.The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.事实上，我也错过一些事。错过的理由很简单：以为还有明天。
Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable.There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and regretting.The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it.We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc.However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer do realize our wish any more, because we have lost it by then.事实上，明天是不可靠的。要不，日休禅师怎么会说，很多人的一生中，只做了“等待”与“后悔”两件事，合起来就叫“来不及”。我们老爱说：长大再说，有钱再说，老了再说……可是到了那时候，却什么都不必说了。
Love Is Just a Thread.爱只是一根线
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV.In their opinion, ―I love you‖ is too luxurious for them to say.Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question.Finally my father has a bad temper.When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.有时候，我真的怀疑父母之间是否有真爱。他们天天忙于赚钱，为我和弟弟支付学费
。他们从未像我在书中读到，或在电视中看到的那样互诉衷肠。他们认为”我爱你”太奢
侈，很难说出口。更不用说在情人节送花这样的事了。我父亲的脾气非常坏。经过一天的劳累之后，他经常会发脾气。
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt.I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.一天，母亲正在缝被子，我静静地坐在她旁边看着她。
“Mom, I have a question to ask you,‖ I said after a while.过了一会，我说：”妈妈，我想问你一个问题。”
“What?‖ she replied, still doing her work.“什么问题?”她一边继续缝着，一边回答道。
“Is there love between you and Dad?‖ I asked her in a very low voice.我低声地问道：”你和爸爸之间有没有爱情啊?”
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes.She didn’t answer immediately.Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.母亲突然停下了手中的活，满眼诧异地抬起头。她没有立即作答。然后低下头，继续缝被子。
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her.I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do.But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
我担心伤害了她。我非常尴尬，不知道该怎么办。不过，后来我听见母亲说：
“Susan,‖ she said thoughtfully, ―Look at this thread.Sometimes it appears, but most of it
disappears in the quilt.The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable.If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there.Love is inside.‖
“苏珊，看看这些线。有时候，你能看得见，但是大多数都隐藏在被子里。这些线使被子 坚固耐用。如果生活就像一床被子，那么爱就是其中的线。你不可能随时随地看到它，但 是它却实实在在地存在着。爱是内在的。
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring.At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously.My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale.It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.我仔细地听着，却无法明白她的话，直到来年的春天。那时候，我父亲得了重病。母亲在医院里待了一个月。当他们从医院回来的时候，都显得非常苍白。就像他们都得了一场重病一样。After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.My father had never been so gentle.It seemed they were the most harmonious couple.Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees.The sun gently glistened through the leaves.All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.他们回来之后，每天的清晨或黄昏，母亲都会搀扶着父亲在乡村的小路上漫步。父亲从未 如此温和过。他们就像是天作之合。在小路旁边，有许多美丽的野花、绿草和树木。阳光 穿过树叶的缝隙，温柔地照射在地面上。这一切形成了一幅世间最美好的画面。
The doctor had said my father would recover in two months.But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself.All of us were worried about him.医生说父亲将在两个月后康复。但是两个月之后，他仍然无法独立行走。我们都很为他担心 “Dad, how are you feeling now?‖ I asked him one day.有一天，我问他：“爸爸，你感觉怎么样?”
“Susan, don’t worry about me.‖ he said gently.―To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.I like this kind of life.‖ Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.他温和地说：“苏珊，不用为我担心。跟你说吧，我喜欢与你妈妈一块散步的感觉。我喜 欢这种生活。”从他的眼神里，我看得出他对母亲的爱之深刻。
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses.But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life.Love is inside, making life strong and warm..我曾经认为爱情就是鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的亲吻。但是从那一刻起，我明白了，爱情就像是 生活中被子里的一根线。爱情就在里面，使生活变得坚固而温暖。

双语美文：夕阳
I believe in leaving work at five o’clock.In a nation that operates on a staunch Protestant work ethic, this belief could be considered radical.Working only 40 hours a week? I just don’t know many people who punch out at five o’clock anymore.It seems downright quaint, like pocket watches and shoe shines.My father tried to teach me the importance of hard work, long hours and dedication to a career.But then there are the things he taught me unintentionally, like when he arrived home from work for the last time and crawled up the stairs.My father, a self-employed sales trainer, was that sick, that tired.His body was wracked with liver cancer, and he suffered the effects of a diabetic ulcer.Still, he insisted on traveling to honor his commitment to give a seminar.He probably earned a lot of money that day, and he paid the price: He returned to the hospital soon after and was dead within three months, at age 58.我的信念是在五点结束每天的工作。在这个奉行新教徒那套“工作至上”理念的国度,我的这一信念可算是激进。每周只工作40小时?我认识的人中很少是下午五点打卡下班的。那看起来就跟怀表、鞋油这类东西一样,简直是过时而怪异。我父亲尽力教导我勤奋工作、超时工作以及献身事业这几点的重要性。但后来,他也无意中教了我一些东西,比如那次当他最后一次下班回家爬上楼梯的时候。我父亲是一名自雇的销售培训师。那天,他已经病得很厉害,疲惫不堪。肝癌拖垮了他的身体,他还饱受糖尿病溃疡的折磨。然而,他为履行承诺仍坚持到外地主持一个研讨会。他那天可能赚了不少钱,但他也付出了代价——不久之后又住进了医院,而且三个月后就去世了,终年58岁。
It’s been 10 years since I saw my father come home that night and since then, I’ve thought a lot about work.I’ve decided something: I will never crawl up the stairs.As much as I love my job as a newspaper reporter, I will never work myself into the ground, literally or figuratively.The idea of leaving work at work didn’t come easily to me.After all, I am my father’s daughter.In college, I wasn’t going to keg parties in a frat basement;I was the girl who lingered on the library steps each morning, waiting for the doors to open.I even dreamt about schoolwork.那晚看到父亲回家已是十年前的事了,自那以后,我对工作作了多番思考。我决定:我决不要爬着楼梯回家。作为一名报社记者,尽管我非常热爱我的工作,但我决不会因为拼命工作而把自己送进“坟墓”里,无论是字面义还是比喻义。只在工作时间内工作的想法于我并非易事,毕竟,有其父必有其女。读大学时,我不去大学生联谊会在地下室里举办的啤酒狂欢派对,而是每天一早就在图书馆的阶梯上徘徊,等着图书馆开门。我甚至做梦都会梦到功课作业。
My dad once told me he was unable to just gaze at a sunset;he had to be doing something as he looked at it—writing, reading, playing chess.You could say he was a success: He was a published author, an accomplished musician, fluent in German and the American Sign Language.That’s an impressive list, but here’s the thing: I want to gaze at sunsets.I don’t want to meet a deadline during them or be writing a column at the same time, or glance at them over the top of a book.This
raises the question: If I leave work at five o’ clock to watch the sunset, what are the consequences? Do I risk not reaching the top of my profession? Maybe, because honestly, knocking off after eight hours probably won’t earn me the corner office or the lucrative promotion.But hey, leaving work at five o’ clock means I eat dinner with my family.I get to hop on my bike and pedal through the streets of my hometown as the shadows lengthen and the traffic thins.And I get to take in a lot of sunsets.That’s got to be worth something.我父亲曾经告诉我,他就是没法凝视夕阳。看着夕阳的同时他还得做些别的事——写作、阅读、下象棋。你可以称他是成功人士:他是一名发表过作品的作家,一位有造诣的音乐家,能说流利的德语,能熟练运用美国手语。这一连串成就看起来挺厉害的。但问题是:我想凝视夕阳。我不想边看夕阳边赶在最后期限前完成工作,也不想边看边给专栏赶稿,又或者是看着书,偶尔才朝那一抹夕阳瞥上一眼。这引发了一个问题:如果我五点就下班去看夕阳,会有什么后果?我是否就无法爬到职场最高位?也许是,因为说实话,工作八小时就下班,想搬进角落的高层办公室或升职加薪是不太可能的。不过,嘿,五点就下班意味着我能和家人共进晚餐。我跳上单车,穿梭在家乡的大小街道上,一切在夕阳的余晖中被拉长了影子,路上车少人稀。从此,我看了不少夕阳美景。这肯定有其价值所在。

In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s othercommitments: 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 arubberball.If you drop it, it willbounceback.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 thisfragilethread 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。

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。
There is no bigger cliché in business psychology than the idea that high self-confidence is key to career success.It is time to debunk this myth.In fact, low self-confidence is more likely to make you successful.Sure, extremely low confidence is not helpful: it inhibits performance by inducing fear, worry, and stress, which may drive people to give up sooner or later.But just-low-enough confidence can help you recalibrate your goals so they are more realistic and attainable.在商业心理学中，高度的自信是事业成功的关键，这是老生常谈的问题了。是时候打破这个神话了。事实上，缺乏自信似乎更容易让你取得成功。当然，极度缺乏自信也是不行的：因为恐惧、担忧和压力会限制你的表现，最终，驱使人们放弃。但是，适当的缺乏自信会帮助你重新确定自己的目标，使其更加现实，更容易完成。
If your confidence is low, rather than extremely low, you stand a better chance of succeeding than if you have high self-confidence.There are three main reasons for this: 如果你缺乏自信，而不是极度缺乏自信，那么，比起那些自信满满的人，你将拥有更多取得成功的机会。下面就是支持这一论点的三个主要的原因：
1.Lower self-confidence makes you pay attention to negative feedback and be self-critical:Most people get trapped in their optimistic biases, so they tend to listen to positive feedback and ignore negative feedback.Although this may help them come across as confidence to others, in any area of competence(e.g., education, business, sports or performing arts)achievement is 10% performance and 90% preparation.Thus, the more aware you are of your soft spots and weaknesses, the better prepared you will be.Indeed, success is the best medicine for your insecurities.1.缺乏自信会让你注意到负面的反馈，进行自我批评。大多数人深陷自我积极态度的偏见之中，因此，他们更愿意听到积极的反馈从而忽略了负面的回应。虽然在所有的竞争领域，例如，教育、商业、运动或者表演行业，相较他人，高度的自信会帮助他们取得成功，但是成功是10%的表现加上90%的准备。因此，更好地了解自己的弱点和不足，准备也会越充分。没错，成功是治愈安全感匮乏的一剂良药。
2.Lower self-confidence can motivate you to work harder and prepare more:If you are serious about your goals, you will have more incentive to work hard when you lack confidence in your abilities.In fact, low confidence is only demotivating when you are not serious about your goals.If you really want what you say you want, then, your low confidence will only make you work harder to achieve it — because it will indicate a discrepancy between your desired goal and your current state.2.缺乏自信会督促你更加努力地工作，做更多的准备。如果你对自己的目标很认真，在你对自己能力缺乏自信的情况下，你往往会更有动力去努力工作。事实上，只有你对自己的目标不认真的时候，缺乏自信才会产生消极的作用。如果真的想得到你说你想得到的东西，那么，你的不自信反而会让你更加努力地工作去得到它——因为不自信会让你意识到你渴望的目标和你现在的状态之间的差距。3.Lower self-confidence reduces the chances of coming across as arrogant or being deluded: Indeed, people with low self-confidence are more likely to admit their mistakes — instead of blaming others — and rarely take credit for others' accomplishments.This is the most important benefit of low self-confidence because it points to the fact that low self-confidence can bring success, not just to individuals but also to organizations and society.3.缺乏自信降低了自大和失望的可能性。确实，缺乏自信的人更容易承认错误，而不是抱怨他人，而且他们很少把别人的赞扬太当回事儿。这是缺乏自信最大的好处了，因为它告诉了我们一个事实：缺乏自信会带来成功，不仅仅是对个人而言，对于公司和社会也同样适用。
In brief, if you are serious about your goals, low self-confidence can be your biggest ally to accomplish them.总之一句话，如果你对自己的目标很认真，缺乏自信会成为你实现目标的最有力的盟友
1.保持态度：
What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters to what lies within us.相较于我们目前的状况,那些在我们之前或之后发生的状况真是小巫见大巫了。（Ralph Waldo Emerson)
2.永不放弃：
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.当世界上最重要的事情根本没有希望的时候，不断尝试的人却完成了。(Dale Carnegie)
3.克服失败：
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.我们最大的荣耀不在于永不跌倒，而在于每次跌倒后都能重新爬起来。(Confucius)
4.自身力量：
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.对一个人的终极衡量，不在于他所曾拥有的片刻安逸，而在于他处于挑战与争议的时代。(Martin Luther King, Jr.)
5.当然是勇气：
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.答应我你会永远记住：你要比你认为的更勇敢，比你看上去更强大，比你想的更聪明。Christopher Robin to Pooh – A.A.Milne)
下次你处于困境时，你比你想象的自己要好很多 — 用单词给你力量。
