英語勵志小短文：A New Day 嶄新的一天
The sun has begun to set and I hang up the smile I’ve worn all day, though I will make sure it is the first thing I put back on in the morning just in case it is “that day.” I want her to see me at my very best.
I do the normal routine, eat dinner, clean the house, write—the usual stuff. And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand new sun. But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snicker will turn into a burst of laughter.
太陽將要下山，我(wo)收起掛了一(yi)天(tian)的微笑，不過我(wo)會確保(bao)明天(tian)早上第一(yi)件事就是(shi)將它又(you)掛回去，以(yi)防這天(tian)就是(shi)“那一(yi)天(tian)”。我(wo)希望她看到我(wo)的最佳狀態。
我(wo)(wo)按平時(shi)的規律吃晚餐、打掃屋子(zi)、寫作——做(zuo)著日常事(shi)務。然后我(wo)(wo)躺(tang)下，希望能快點入睡(shui)，新(xin)的一(yi)天就能快點到來——擁(yong)有新(xin)生太陽的嶄新(xin)的一(yi)天。可當我(wo)(wo)躺(tang)在那兒，等(deng)待著世界(jie)的日夜回轉時(shi)，我(wo)(wo)想到了她。有時(shi)我(wo)(wo)會笑(xiao)起來，有時(shi)那微笑(xiao)變成了竊笑(xiao)，然后竊笑(xiao)又(you)常常變成爆笑(xiao)。
And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep me company until my new day arrives.
When I awake it’s with such excitement because I tell myself this could be the day that every other day has led up to and the first day of the rest of my life. I quickly don my smile because I do so want her to see me at my very best. Then I look out the window because, even though I know it’s dawn, I still have to confirm I’ve been given another chance to find her.
也(ye)(ye)有些時(shi)候(hou)，我的喉嚨像是被一塊東(dong)西哽住了(le)，胸口發悶;有時(shi)那(nei)種(zhong)傷感席卷而來，我開始流淚，眼(yan)淚常常越流越多，我再也(ye)(ye)無(wu)力抵抗悲傷，敗下陣來。然后(hou)不知怎(zen)的，我在或喜悅(yue)或悲傷中(zhong)飄蕩，逐漸入(ru)眠(mian)。然后(hou)夢(meng)境開始伴我左右，直至新的一天到來。
醒來時，我(wo)(wo)興奮不已，因為(wei)我(wo)(wo)告訴自己(ji)今(jin)天(tian)(tian)(tian)也許就是(shi)之前其他日子為(wei)之打下基礎的(de)“那(nei)一天(tian)(tian)(tian)”，是(shi)我(wo)(wo)余生的(de)第一天(tian)(tian)(tian)。我(wo)(wo)迅速掛上(shang)微(wei)笑，因為(wei)我(wo)(wo)真的(de)很想讓她(ta)看到我(wo)(wo)的(de)最(zui)佳(jia)狀態。然后我(wo)(wo)朝窗外(wai)看去，因為(wei)即使我(wo)(wo)知(zhi)道現在才剛(gang)剛(gang)破曉，我(wo)(wo)仍得(de)確(que)定自己(ji)可以與她(ta)再次邂逅。
And there it is…the sun, even when it’s cloudy; somehow I still see it. And it smiles at me and I say, “Thank you,” and I smile back.
Then I ask myself, “Is this the day?” And the excitement rushes over me again. And then I ask myself, “Where’s it going to be?”
它(ta)(ta)在(zai)那里……太陽，雖然(ran)還是云霧(wu)重重，但我還是看(kan)到它(ta)(ta)了。它(ta)(ta)朝我微笑，我道了聲“謝謝”，回以一笑。
然(ran)后(hou)我問(wen)自己：“今(jin)天就(jiu)是那一天嗎?”興奮之情(qing)再次充溢全身(shen)。然(ran)后(hou)我問(wen)自己：“它會在哪里(li)呢?”
Maybe it’ll be at the water fountain, and, unexpectedly, there I’ll find her, and much more than my thirst will be quenched. Maybe it’ll be at the grocery store and there she’ll appear as I’m picking out fruit, and she’ll show me the difference between fresh and spoiled. Then, from that moment, nothing that I eat will ever taste the same because she’ll bring out the simplest beauties in everything I see, taste, smell, hear, or touch.
Or maybe today will be the day when my angel brings an item up to the cash register without its price tag. And as I wait behind this angel with all the frustrated people who are in such a hurry with their busy lives, I will find myself with such blessed extra time. Just enough time to start a conversation with this beautiful vision standing in front of me that I might not otherwise have noticed, but, because of a “price check on register 5,” I was able to find her.
也(ye)許(xu)它會(hui)(hui)藏在(zai)飲水機里(li)，沒想到(dao)我真能在(zai)那(nei)里(li)找到(dao)她(ta)(ta)(ta)，為我生津(jin)止渴，取之不(bu)盡。也(ye)許(xu)它會(hui)(hui)躲在(zai)雜貨店里(li)，我拿起水果(guo)的(de)(de)時候，她(ta)(ta)(ta)就出現了(le)，她(ta)(ta)(ta)會(hui)(hui)給我展示新鮮和變(bian)質(zhi)的(de)(de)不(bu)同。然后(hou)，從那(nei)一刻開始，我所嘗到(dao)的(de)(de)一切味道不(bu)再一樣，因(yin)為但凡我看到(dao)的(de)(de)、嘗到(dao)的(de)(de)、聞到(dao)的(de)(de)、聽到(dao)的(de)(de)或(huo)摸到(dao)的(de)(de)東西，她(ta)(ta)(ta)都帶出了(le)它們(men)最簡單的(de)(de)美麗。
或(huo)許就在今天(tian)，我的天(tian)使把一件沒有價格(ge)標簽的商品拿到收銀(yin)臺。我在天(tian)使身(shen)后排隊，看著身(shen)心疲(pi)憊的人們(men)忙忙碌碌地(di)過日子，慶幸(xing)自己得到了(le)這樣的額外時(shi)間，讓我可以和面前的倩(qian)影閑聊(liao)一會兒(er)，否(fou)則我也許會錯過，但只因為(wei)一句“請到5號收銀(yin)臺付款”，我就能找到她(ta)。
Thank you for the sun, which began my new day. Thank you for granting me the faith when I arose this morning that I would find her in this new day. But most of all, thank you for me not having to ever wait on another sunrise because whenever I want to see it, I will look at her and there it shall always be, in her eyes; she will forever hold it for me.
She is my sunrise, my dawn, my new day.
感謝(xie)太陽(yang)，它(ta)是(shi)新(xin)一(yi)(yi)(yi)天(tian)的開始。感謝(xie)你讓我今早一(yi)(yi)(yi)起(qi)床就滿懷信心，知道自己能在這(zhe)新(xin)的一(yi)(yi)(yi)天(tian)找到(dao)她。但最要感謝(xie)的是(shi)我不(bu)必再(zai)等下(xia)一(yi)(yi)(yi)個(ge)日(ri)出，因為無論我想何(he)時看(kan)到(dao)它(ta)，我都可以(yi)看(kan)向她，它(ta)總會(hui)出現在她的雙眸(mou)里;她永遠為我留著。
她(ta)是我(wo)的(de)日出(chu)，我(wo)的(de)黎明，我(wo)嶄新(xin)的(de)一(yi)天(tian)。
英語勵志小短文：A Better Tomorrow
People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.
Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations of government officials and the events during wars?
We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.
From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.
The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.
In short, history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep us from repeating yesterday’s mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic assembled by historians come the great murals which represent the progress of mankind.
人們常(chang)常(chang)心存疑慮,為什么歷史(shi)學家要費盡周折地保(bao)存數以萬計的書籍、文(wen)獻和(he)記錄(lu)。
我們為什么(me)要(yao)有圖書(shu)館呢?這(zhe)些文獻和史書(shu)有何用處呢? 我們為什么(me)要(yao)記載并保存人類的(de)行為、政府官(guan)員的(de)談(tan)判和戰爭(zheng)中的(de)事(shi)件呢?
我們(men)這么做的(de)(de)原因在于有時(shi)候經驗之音(yin)能促使(shi)我們(men)停步、觀察和傾(qing)聽(ting)。也因為有時(shi)候過(guo)去的(de)(de)記載經過(guo)正(zheng)確(que)地(di)詮釋,能幫助我們(men)決定何事可(ke)為、何事不可(ke)為。如果我們(men)想要創造永久的(de)(de)和平,我們(men)就必須從人類的(de)(de)經驗以及人類歷史的(de)(de)記載中(zhong)去探索其淵源。
從體現男性(xing)和(he)(he)女性(xing)勇敢和(he)(he)奉獻(xian)精神的(de)故事之中,我們獲得了(le)青春的(de)啟(qi)示。歷史記載著人類(lei)的(de)一切苦(ku)難、克己、忠誠和(he)(he)英勇的(de)事跡。這些(xie)記載在我們困惑和(he)(he)渴望(wang)和(he)(he)平時能對(dui)我們有(you)所幫(bang)助。
歷史(shi)的(de)(de)(de)主要目的(de)(de)(de)是創造一個(ge)更(geng)加美(mei)好的(de)(de)(de)`世(shi)界。歷史(shi)對那些力(li)主戰爭的(de)(de)(de)人(ren)給(gei)(gei)以(yi)警(jing)告(gao),給(gei)(gei)予(yu)那些尋求和平的(de)(de)(de)人(ren)以(yi)啟示。
簡而言之,歷史幫(bang)助(zhu)我們(men)學習(xi)。昨日的(de)(de)(de)記載可以使我們(men)避免重蹈覆(fu)轍。這些歷史學家們(men)創作的(de)(de)(de)像馬(ma)賽克一樣色彩繽紛(fen)的(de)(de)(de)歷史片斷匯聚成(cheng)了代表人類進步的(de)(de)(de)偉大(da)壁畫。
英語勵志小短文：English Inspirational Passages
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
無(wu)論(lun)是60歲(sui)還是16歲(sui)，你(ni)需(xu)要保(bao)持永不(bu)衰(shuai)竭的(de)(de)好奇心、永不(bu)熄滅的(de)(de)孩提般(ban)求知的(de)(de)渴望和追求事業成功的(de)(de)歡樂(le)與熱情(qing)。在(zai)你(ni)我的(de)(de)心底，有一(yi)座無(wu)線電(dian)臺(tai)，它能在(zai)多長時間里接收到(dao)人間萬物傳遞來的(de)(de)美好、希(xi)望、歡樂(le)、鼓舞和力量的(de)(de)信息，你(ni)就會年輕多長時間。
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
人(ren)的(de)生命(ming)應當像河(he)流(liu)，開(kai)(kai)始是涓涓細流(liu)，受兩岸的(de)限制而十分狹窄，爾(er)后奔騰咆哮，翻過危巖，飛越瀑(pu)布，河(he)面(mian)漸漸開(kai)(kai)闊，河(he)岸也隨(sui)之(zhi)向兩邊隱(yin)去，最后水流(liu)平緩，森森無(wu)際，匯入(ru)大海(hai)之(zhi)中，個人(ren)就這(zhe)樣毫無(wu)痛苦(ku)地消失了。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春意味著(zhu)戰勝(sheng)懦弱的那股大丈夫(fu)氣概和擯棄安逸(yi)的那種冒險精神(shen)。往(wang)(wang)往(wang)(wang)一(yi)個(ge)60歲(sui)的老者比(bi)一(yi)個(ge)20歲(sui)的青年更多一(yi)點這種勁頭。人老不(bu)僅(jin)僅(jin)是歲(sui)月流逝所致，更主要(yao)的是不(bu)思進取的結(jie)果。
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
光陰(yin)可以在顏面上(shang)留(liu)下(xia)印(yin)記，而熱情之火(huo)的(de)熄滅則在心靈上(shang)刻(ke)下(xia)皺紋。煩(fan)惱、恐懼、缺乏自信會扭曲人的(de)靈魂，并將青春(chun)化為灰燼。
