英文美文 1
And what shall I do with this last precious day which remains in my keeping? First, I will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand. I will waste not a moment mourning yesterdays misfortunes, yesterdays defeats, yesterdays aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?
Can sand flow upward in the hour glass? Will the sun rise where it sets and set where it rises? Can I relive the errors of yesterday and right them? Can I call back yesterdays wounds and make them whole? Can I become younger than yesterday? Can I take back the evil that was spoken, the blows that were struck, the pain that was caused? No. Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more.
And what then shall I do? Forgetting yesterday neither will I think of tomorrow. Why should I throw note after maybe? Can tomorrows sand flow through the glass before todays? Will the sun rise twice this morning? Can I perform tomorrows deeds while standing in todays path? Can I place tomorrows gold in todays purse? Can tomorrows child be born today? Can tomorrows death cast its shadow backward and darken todays joy? Should I concern myself over events which l may never witness? Should I torment myself with problems that may never come to pass? No! Tomorrow lies buried with yesterday, and I will think of it no more.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterdays sunrise who are no longer with the living today. I am indeed a fortunate man and todays hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I, have departed? Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? Is this another opportunity for me to become the man I know I can be? Is there a purpose in nature? Is this my day to excel?
I will live this day as if it is my last.
I have but one life and life is naught but a measurement of time. When I waste one I destroy the other. If I waste today I destroy the last page of my life. Therefore, each hour of this day will I cherish for it can never return. It cannot be banked today to be withdrawn on the morrow, for who can trap the wind? Each minute of this day will I grasp with both hands and fondle with love for its value is beyond price. What dying man can purchase another breath though he willingly give all his gold? What price dare I place on the hours ahead? I will make them priceless!
I will live this day as if it is my last.
I will avoid with fury the killers of time. Procrastination I will destroy with action; doubt I will bury under faith; fear I will dismember with confidence. Where there are idle mouths I will listen not; where there are idle hands I will linger not; where there are idle bodies I will visit not. Henceforth I know that to court idleness is to steal food, clothing, and warmth from those I love. I am not a thief. I am a man of love and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
The duties of today I shall fu1fill today. Today I shall fondle my children while they are young; tomorrow they will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses; tomorrow she will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow he will no longer cry for help, nor will I hear his cries. Today I shall give myself in sacrifice and work; tomorrow I will have nothing to give, and there will be none to receive.
I will live this day as if it is my last.
And if it is my last, it will be my greatest monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will make the every hour count and each minute I will trade only for something of value. I will labor harder than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief, and then I will continue. I will make more calls than ever before. I will sell more goods than ever before. I will earn more gold than ever before. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best.
I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. Whats worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.

The Cat and the Bell (貓和鈴）
There were many mice in a house. The man of the house got a cat. The cat killed many of the mice.
Then the oldest mouse said, " All mice must come to my hole tonight, and we will think what we can do about this cat."
All the mice came. Many mice spoke, but none knew what to do. At last a young mouse stood up and said, "We must put a bell on the cat. Then, when the cat comes near, we shall hear the bell and run away and hide. So the cat will not catch any more mice."
Then the old mouse asked, " Who will put the bell on the cat?"
No mouse answered.
He waited, but still no one answered.
At last he said, "It is not hard to say things; but it is harder to do them."
A Woodman came into a forest to ask the Trees to give him a handle for Ax. It seemed so modest a request that the principal tree at once agreed to it, and it was settled among them that the plain, homely Ash should furnish what was wanted.
No sooner had the Woodman fitted the staff to his purpose ,than he began laying about him on all side. felling the whole matter too late, whispered to the Cedar: "the first concession has lost all ;if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor, we might have yet stood for ages ourselves.

威廉.薩姆塞特.毛姆/William Somerset Maugham
That must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of life of life it offers has a homely grace. It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vastly sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness. Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss. I recognized its social value. I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course. There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights. In my heart was desire to live more dangerously. I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous, shoals it I could only have change-change and the excitement of unforeseen.
這一定是世間無數(shù)對夫妻的生活寫照，這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。它使人想起一條平靜的溪流，蜿蜒暢游過綠茵的草場，濃蔭遮蔽，最后注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜，太過沉默，太過不動聲色，你會突然感到莫名的不安。也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法，在那樣的時代，這想法對我影響很深：我覺得這像大多數(shù)人一樣的.生活，似乎欠缺了一點兒什么。我承認(rèn)這種生活有社會價值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的沖動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程．這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活。只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘。

減了又肥的四個原因Four reasons for people cycle
最讓瘦身男女郁悶的莫過于：好容易減下去的體重，一下子又升了上來。費力地走啊走，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)自己轉(zhuǎn)了一個圈，回來了原點。路途中，丟失的是自己的金錢、時間和快樂。
We all know that the vast majority of people who lose weight, regain it. And while we know that nobody who loses that weight actually wants to put it back on, somehow we’ve become really good at it! Some of us have spent a lifetime cycling between the fit and fat versions of us. We even have the small, medium, large and industrial sections in our wardrobe. What a miserable and frustrating cycle that is. And I’m not talking about minor weight fluctuations here, I’m talking about a range of 10-50kgs or more. We get on and off the weight-loss roller coaster for a bunch of reasons but here’s what twenty five years of working with people in this area has taught me. My top four observations anyway.大多數(shù)人減了再肥，肥了再減。誰也不想這樣反反復(fù)復(fù)，不過我們卻出奇擅長做這種事。有些人甚至一輩子都在肥與不肥間循環(huán)往復(fù)，衣柜里的衣服從小號到中號、到大號，到超大號一應(yīng)俱全。這是個多讓人沮喪的循環(huán)吶!而且，這里指的還不是一兩斤上下的小變化，我指的是10-50公斤甚至更多的體重變化。我們在減肥的過山車?yán)锷仙舷孪�，其實是有原因的。我和這些反復(fù)減肥的人打了二十五年的交道，發(fā)現(xiàn)了其中最重要的四條。
為了某件事減肥，卻不為了生活減肥We get in shape for events, but not for life Yep, I’ve said it before, we’re great at losing weight for birthdays, weddings, school reunions, big social events and even summer. And then we’re great at getting fat again. It’s what we do. Don’t get mad at me, just take a look around. If only life was one long birthday, we’d all look amazing 24/7. we change our behavior for a while, but on a b level below our conscious behaviors, we’re simply waiting to go back to normal. Normal being the same behaviors that lead us to obesity in the first place.參加生日聚會、婚禮、同學(xué)會、大型社交活動甚至迎接夏天，都成了我們減肥的理由�；顒右唤Y(jié)束，英語短文我們就開始了增肥的歷程。大家就是這么干的。別以為我說話討厭，不信你看看周圍的人。如果人的一輩子就是一個漫長的生日，我們誰都會苗條無比。為了某個目的我們一時間改變行為習(xí)慣，這就使得我們在潛意識里期盼著回歸正常。所謂的“正�！保瑹o非就是做那些讓我們一步一步走向肥胖的蠢事。
減肥時，我們沒有思考We don’t keep our head in the game For a range of reasons, somewhere along the way we lose it mentally and emotionally. And when the discipline, the self-control and the can-do attitude go ut the window, so does the new and improved body. Pity. We know that what happens below the shoulders is driven by what happens above them, so for most of us, mastering our mind is the key to mastering our body. Creating life-long change ain’t about carbohydrate, protein shakes, treadmills or pump classed, it’s about what’s happening between our ears. I know that this is message I share regularly but it still seems to be missed and/or overlooked by the masses; fix the head to fix the body. Do whatever you need to do. To maintain focus. Commitment and momentum over the long term. And as for that whole “it takes thirty days t create a new habit” thing… crap. As years of destructive behaviors, habits and thinking in thirty days. As is often the case, the theory and the reality don’t actually merge.
有時候，是心理因素在激勵我們減肥，一旦心里有了信念。我們就能約束自己，并相信自己能夠減肥成功。英語短文可惜我們卻很少這樣做。脖子以下的身體都受了脖子上面的大腦支配，所以，減肥要靠思維控制。要想完成像減肥這樣的終身任務(wù)，靠的'可不是碳水化合物、減肥代餐、踏步機或健身課程這些玩意兒，靠的是我們大腦里有什么樣的意識。這一點我多次強調(diào)但大部分人還是忽略了，要想減肥，請先“健腦”。盡可能地在這項長期任務(wù)中保持你的注意力、你的責(zé)任感、你的原動力。有人說什么“三十天養(yǎng)成新習(xí)慣“在我看來一派胡言。通常，這需要更多的時間。很少人能夠只花三十天的時間就能使得自己三十年的舊習(xí)慣、舊思維土崩瓦解。英語經(jīng)典短文人們的理論總是過分樂觀地估計了現(xiàn)實。
英文美文 7
If parents had job descriptions mine would read: organize bills, playmates, laundry, meals, laundry, carpool1, laundry, snacks, outings and shopping, and laundry.
The only thing on my husbands description would be the word “fun” written in big red letters along the top. Although he is a selfless caregiver and provider, our children think of him more as a combination of a jungle gym2 and bozo3 and clown.
Our parenting styles compliment each other. His style is a nonstop adventure where no one has to worry about washing their hands, eating vegetables, or getting cavities4. My style is similar to Mussolini5. Im too busy worrying to be fun. Besides, every time I try, I am constantly outdone by my husband.
I bought my children bubble gum flavored toothpaste and I taught them how to brush their teeth in tiny circles so they wouldnt get cavities. They thought it was neat until my husband taught them how to rinse6 by spitting out water between their two front teeth like a fountain.
I took the children on a walk in the woods and, after two hours, I managed to corral7 a slow ladybug8 into my sons insect cage. I was “cool” until their father came home, spent two minutes in the backyard, and captured a beetle the size of a Chihuahua9.
I try to tell myself I am a good parent even if my husband does things I cant do. I can make sure my children are safe, warm, and dry. Ill stand in line for five hours so the children can see Santa at the mall ?? or be first in line to see the latest Disney movie. But I cant wire the VCR1 so my children can watch their favorite video.
I can carry my children in my arms when they are tired, tuck them into bed, and kiss them goodnight. But I cant flip them upside down so they can walk on the ceiling or prop them on my shoulders so they can see the moths flying inside of the light fixture2.
I can take them to doctor appointments, scout meetings, or field trips to the aquarium3, but Ill never go into the wilderness, skewer4 a worm on a hook, reel in5 a fish, and cook it over an open flame on a piece of tin foil6.
Ill even sit in the first row of every Little League game and cheer until my throat is sore and my tonsils7 are raw8, but Ill never teach my son how to hit a home run9 or slide into first base10.
As a mother I can do a lot of things for my children, but no matter how hard I try ?? I can never be their father.

There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it， life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness， you must pay attention to the following two points.
First， health is the secret of happiness （the key to happiness）. Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.
Secondly， happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.
【中文翻譯】
無疑的快樂是世界上最寶貴的東西.沒有它，人生將是空虛的而且毫無好處的如果你期望明白如何獲得快樂，你須注意下方兩點.
健康是快樂的要訣.唯有身體強壯的人才能享受人生的'樂趣.
快樂在于知足.一個不滿于現(xiàn)狀的人終是處在痛苦之中.

Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛(wèi).梭羅
However mean your life is，meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life，poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant，thrilling，glorious hourss，even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there，and have as cheering thoughts，as in a palace.The town’s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb，like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things，whether clothes or friends，Turn the old，return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不論你生活如何卑賤，你要面對它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有時候，倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點人就是到里也能找到缺點。你要生活，盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院里，你也還有愉快、、光榮時候。夕陽反射在濟貧院窗上，像身在富戶人窗上一樣光亮；在那門前，積同在早春融化。我只看到，一個從容人，在哪里也像在皇宮中一樣，生活得心滿意足而富有愉快思想。城鎮(zhèn)中窮人，我看，倒往往是過著最獨立不羈生活。也許因為他們很偉大，所以受之無愧。大多數(shù)人以為他們是超然，不靠城鎮(zhèn)來支援他們；可是事實上他們是往往利用不正當(dāng)手段來對付生活，他們是毫不超脫，毋寧是不體面。視貧窮如園中之花而像圣人一樣耕植它吧！不要找新花樣，無論是新或新衣服，來麻煩你自己。找舊，回到那里去。萬物不變，是我們在變。你衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你思想。

For Love of Children 給孩子愛
This slender volume opens with the story of Beniah, an infant rescued by sanitation workers from the stack of garbage in which he had been left to die. Without ever losing sight of Beniah and the too many other deserted children, the author, Sharon Emecz, tells the story of the two homes for abandoned children, Happy Life Kasarani and Happy Life Juja Farm, organized in the area of Nairobi, Kenya.
Developed more than a decade ago by two indomitable couples, Sharon and Jim Powell from Delaware in the USA, and Faith and Peter Kamau from Nairobi, the two settings provide the physical and emotional comforts that would otherwise have been denied the 102 abandoned children now living there, as well as having nurtured the many more who have found adoptive homes. More than that even, the two homes have literally saved the lives of all those children.
The book provides detail of the structure and functioning of The Happy Life homes allowing for an appreciation of their organization (as well as a pattern for their replication), and provides as well brief portraits of some of the children saved, of those adults who have opted to share a part of their lives with them whether through work or volunteering, and the adoptive parents who have pledged to share their homes and their love with the children who have become their own. Ms. Emecz gives the reader a real sense of the spiritual journey she has undergone in traveling from London to Nairobi, a journey she and her husband, Steve, now make at least annually.

讓別人依賴你Make people depend on you
It is not he that adorns but he that adores that makes a divinity.是內(nèi)心的崇拜，而非外表的裝飾，才使得神成為神。
The wise person would rather see other needing him rather than thanking him.明智之士，更愿意讓別人需要自己，而不是要別人感謝自己。
To keep them on the threshold of hope is diplomatic, to trust to their gratitude is boorish; hope has a good memory, gratitude a bad one. More is to be got from

When dependence disappears good behavior goes with it, as well as respect.讓他們待在希望的門檻之前，是明智的策略;希求他們的感激之心，不過是鄉(xiāng)愿而已。希望有很好的記性，而感激，其記憶力總是很糟的'。我們從別人的依賴之中，比之于別人的謙恭中，所得更多�？诳手�，飽飲之后而歷井而去;橘子一旦被榨干汁水，就會從金盤中淪落進垃圾簍里。依賴之心一旦不存在，良好舉止和尊重敬畏就隨之化為烏有。

Chinese Women Volleyball Team
It all began in June, 1976, when the new China National Womens Volleyball Team was formed. It wasnt easy, as the world of volleyball was dominated either by the Western teams which were characterized by their power and height, or by the more versatile Eastern teams (e.g. Japan) which are know for their speed and skill.
But the new team had two features that became important for their later success: Hope and a good coach. Yue Wai Man, 37 at that time, was named the head coach of the team. His unique vision made him realize to be one of the best, you have to learn what makes them the best. Therefore, a unique style combining speed, height, power and skill was developed.
Being the best of Asia was only the first step. Our beloved Chinese ladies knew full well what has been waiting for them next.
I really hope our Chinese Women Volleyball Team can win the gold again.

Clear Your Mental Space 保持心靈整潔
Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion---like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.
Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute---but only one minute---to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I wiling to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”
Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really fell it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.
When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
This exercise seems simple---almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.
Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens. Keep a piece of paper with you that says the following:
Stop. Immerse for one minute. Do I want to keep this negativity? Breath deep, exhale, release. Move on!
This will remind you of the steps to the process. Remember; take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion. Then, when you feel you’ve felt it enough, release it---really let go of it. You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!
