篇二:
人生如诗
Ithinkthat,fromabiologicalstandpoint,humanlifealmostreadslikeapoem.
我以为,从生物学角度看,人的一生恰如诗歌。
Ithasitsownrhythmandbeat,itsinternalcyclesofgrowthanddecay.
人生自有其韵律和节奏,自有内在的生成与衰亡。
Noonecansaythatalifewithchildhood,manhoodandoldageisnotabeautifularrangement;
人生有童年、少年和老年,谁也不能否认这是一种美好的安排,
thedayhasitsmorning,noonandsunset,andtheyearhasitsseasons,anditisgood
一天要有清晨、正午和日落,一年要有四季之分,如此才好。
thatitisso.Thereisnogoodorbadinlife,exceptwhatisgoodaccordingtoitsownseason.
人生本无好坏之分,只是各个季节有各自的好处。
Andifwetakethisbiologicalviewoflifeandtrytoliveaccordingtotheseasons,noonebutaconceitedfooloranimpossibleidealistcandenythathumanlifecanbelivedlikeapoem.
如若我们持此种生物学的观点,并循着季节去生活,除了狂妄自大的傻瓜和无可救药的理想主义者,谁能说人生不能像诗一般度过呢。
——LinYutang
篇三:
人在旅途
Whereveryouare,andwhoeveryoumaybe,thereisonethinginwhichyouandIarejustalikeatthismoment,andinallthemomentsofourexistence.Wearenotatrest;weareonajourney,ourlifeisamovement,atendency,asteady,ceaselessprogresstowardsanunseengoal.Wearegainingsomething,orlosingsomething,everyday.Evenwhenourpositionandourcharacterseemtoremainpreciselythesame,theyarechanging.Forthemereadvanceoftimeisachange.ItisnotthesamethingtohaveabarefieldinJanuaryandinJuly,theseasonmakesthedifference.Thelimitationsthatarechildlikeinthechildarechildishintheman.
无论你在何处,无论你是何人,此刻,而且在我们生命的每时每刻,你与我有一点是类似的。
我们不是在休息,我们在旅途中。
生命是一种运动,一种趋势,一个稳步、持续的通往一个未知目标的过程。
每天,我们都在获得,或失去。
尽管我们的地位和性格看起来好像一点都没变,但是它们在变化。
因为时光的流逝本身是一种变化。
在一月和七月拥有一片贫瘠的土地是不同的,是季节本身带来了变化。
孩童时可爱的缺点到了成人时便成了幼稚。
Everythingthatwedoisastepinonedirectionoranother,eventhefailuretodosomethingisinitselfadeed.Itsetsusforwardorbackward.Theactionofthenegativepoleofamagneticneedleisjustasrealastheactionofthepositivepole.Todeclineistoaccept–theotheralternative.
我们做的每件事都是迈向一个或另外一个方向,甚至“什么都没做”本身也是一种行为,它让我们前进或倒退。
一棵磁针的阴极的作用与阳极是一样的。
拒绝即接受?
?
接受反面。
Areyounearertoyourporttodaythanyouwereyesterday?
Yes,--youmustbealittlenearertosomeportorother;forsinceyourshipwasfirstlunchedupontheseaoflife,youhaveneverbeenstillforasinglemoment;theseaistoodeep,youcouldnotfindananchorageifyouwould.Therecanbenopauseuntilyoucomeintoport.
你今天比昨天更加接近你的目标了吗?
是的,你肯定是离一个或另一个码头或更近一些了。
因为自从你的小船从生命的海洋上启航时,你没有哪一刻是停止的。
大海是这样深,你想抛锚时找不到地方。
在你驶入码头之前,你不可能停留。
篇四:
TheTrueNobilityByErnestHemingway
Inacalmseaeverymanisaallsunshinewithoutshade,allpleasurewithoutpain,isnotlifeatall.Takethelotofthehappiest-itisatangledyarn.Bereavementsandblessings,onefollowinganother,makeussadandblessedbyturns.Evendeathitselfmakeslifemoreloving.Mencomeclosesttotheirtrueselvesinthesobermomentsoflife,undertheshadowsofsorrowandloss.
在风平浪静的大海上,每个人都是领航员。
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。
Intheaffairsoflifeorofbusiness,itisnotintellectthattellssomuchascharacter,notbrainssomuchasheart,notgeniussomuchasself-control,patience,anddiscipline,regulatedbyhavealwaysbelievedthatthemanwhohasbeguntolivemoreseriouslywithinbeginstolivemoresimplywithout.Inanageofextravaganceandwaste,IwishIcouldshowtotheworldhowfewtherealwantsofhumanityregretone’serrorstothepointofnotrepeatingthemistruerepentance.Thereisnothingnobleinbeingsuperiortosomeotherman.Thetruenobilityisinbeingsuperiortoyourpreviousself.
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。
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。
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己。
篇五:
感恩生活
OncePresidentRoosevelt’shousewasbrokenintoandlotsofthingswerestolen.Hearingthis,oneofRoosevelt’sfriendswrotetohimandadvisedhimnottotakeittohisheartsomuch.
美国总统罗斯福的家曾经失窃,财物损失严重。
朋友闻此消息,就写信来安慰他,劝他不必把这件事放在心上。
PresidentRooseveltwrotebackimmediately,saying,”Dearfriend,thankyouforyourlettertocomfortme.I’mallrightnow.IthinkIshouldthankGod.Thisisbecauseofthefollowingthreereasons:
firstly,thethiefonlystolethingsfrommebutdidnothurtmeatall;secondly,thethiefhasstolensomeofmythingsinsteadofallmythings;thirdly,mostluckilyforme,itwasthemanratherthanmewhobecameathief…”
罗斯福总统很快回信说:
“亲爱的朋友,谢谢你来信安慰我,我一切都很好。
我想我应该感谢上帝,因为:
第一,我损失的只是财物,而人却毫发未损;第二,我只损失了部分财物,而非所有财产;第三,最幸运的是,做小偷的是那个人,而不是我……”
Itwasquiteunluckyforanyonetobestolenfrom..However,PresidentRoosevelthadsuchthreereasonstobesograteful.Thisstorytellsushowwecanlearntobegratefulinourlife.
对任何人来说,家中失窃绝非幸事。
但是,罗斯福总统却能找到三个感恩的理由。
这个故事告诉我们,生活中,我们应该学会感恩。
BeinggratefulisanimportantphilosophyoflifeandaGREatwisdom..Itisimpossibleforanyonetobeluckyandsuccessfulallthetimesolongashelivesintheworld.smileandsowillitwhenyoucrytoit.”Ifyouaregratefultolife,itwillbringyoushiningsunlight.
感恩是一项重要的处世哲学,是生活的大智慧。
人生在世,不可能事事顺通。
对于各种失败和不幸,我们要豁达大度,勇敢地面对,并想办法解决。
Weshouldlearnhowtofacefailureormisfortunebravelyandgenerouslyandtotrytodealwithit.Ifso,shouldwecomplainaboutourlifeandbecomefrustratedanddisappointedeversincethenorshouldwebegratefulforourlife,riseagainourselvesafterafall?
WilliamThackeray,afamousBritishwriter,said,“Lifeisamirror.Whenyousmileinfrontofit,itwillalso
面对困难,我们是懊恼抱怨、沮丧气馁,陷入绝望,还是对生活满怀感恩之心,跌倒后再爬起来呢?
英国著名作家威廉·萨克雷说过,“生活是一面镜子,你对它笑,它也会对你笑;你对他哭,它也会对你哭。
”
Ifyoualwayscomplainabouteverything,youmayownnothingintheend.Whenwearesuccessful,wecansurelyhavemanyreasonsforbeinggrateful,butwehaveonlyoneexcusetoshowungratefulnessifwefail.
如果对生活感恩,你的生命将充满灿烂的阳光;如果一味怨恨,终将一无所获。
我们成功时,有千万个理由感恩生活,而失败时,只要一个借口就会表现出忘恩负义。
