热爱生活双语美文欣赏

However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hardnames.It is not so bad as you suppose.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.

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里 也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光 亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。

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.

我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为 他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁 是不体面的。

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.

视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

2.你的生活半径有多大美文 篇二

我们的人生，不仅是幼年、少年、青年、中年、老年这样不可逆转的成长直线，更是一个个半径不断改变的扇形或者圆形辐射区，区域内的一个个地标上，记录着那些时常被回忆的生活经历。

6岁之前，那几个标志性的地点可能是幼儿园、外婆家、门口有旋转木马的商场、最最不愿意去的儿童医院；12岁的时候，是胡同里的学校、学围棋的棋院、有好吃的冰激凌甜品店、好朋友的家、专卖各类小饰品的步行街；18岁之后，是男朋友所在的城市、出差经常住的酒店、父母的家……

我们可能是圆心，也可能是别人生活半径辐射到的一个点，各自的辐射区有的相互覆盖，有的则绝不重叠；有的相互影响，有的则毫不相干。它不一定涵盖所有的生活，却勾画出人生的主要轮廓。只要你了解一个人生活区域的几个关键点，大致就能描绘出其生活的基本面貌。

家，公司，学校，培训班，讲述着一个母亲的日常生活；北京，上海，机场，火车站，给你一对异地恋人的爱情故事；公园，早市，医院，儿女家，展现退休老人的生活常态。

或许，人生半径越大，生活越丰富。显然，家、办公室、学校三点一线的生活，远没有上海、巴黎、西雅图来得浪漫有情调。在每日重复的单调中，太多人渴望大跨度的腾挪转移和穿越。只是，对生活稳定性的追求，决定了那种大幅度的跳跃，不可能是常态。

如果你想要安稳的生活——不管你想不想，大多数人的生活如此，就一定知道三角形比四角形牢固。这只是一个比喻，我其实是想说，在你的人生半径中，相对固定的点越少，生活就越稳定。当然，安稳往往也是枯燥的代名词，固有模式一旦形成，就具有相当的惯性和黏合力，想要打破它，通常不太容易。

而渴望改变的我们，时不时会生出“越轨”的念想，于是，在常规的人生路径之外，会出现一些非常规或者偶然的路径。比如，地点不确定的假日旅游、不定期的郊外野餐、突发奇想的同学聚会……这些并不确定，甚至突如其来的事件，像一个个色彩鲜明的游动粒子，为我们庸常的生活注入不安分的因素，让原先或绿或蓝或紫的日常图谱受到干扰，偏离主色调。

有些碰撞你原先轨迹的“粒子”是可以选择的，比如你的度假计划，或者辞职申请；有些却是无法预知的，让你措手不及，像父母突然生病住院、常驻外地的工作指令。这些可期不可期的“袭击者”，改变了我们习以为常的生活。有些人能让它们的好发挥到极致，淡然应对它们的坏；有些人却只能让自己手忙脚乱，不胜其扰。颠覆故态的想象和应对变故的能力，是完全不同的两个概念，要是你缺少后者，最好审慎调整既定的轨迹。

没错，我们的父母远在千里之外，我们的好友闺蜜更在异国他乡，可他们总会是我们生活半径上的一个点，哪怕光顾的时候少之又少，甚至可能永远是计划中要去的一个点，却时时出现在我们的谈话、讨论和牵挂之中，虽然算不上生活的主调，却也是不可缺少的配色。

3.双语美文欣赏：改善你的生活 篇三

或许我们每个人都有过对陌生人的这种恐惧，实际上，无论何时何地我们遇到的每一个人，都是很有兴趣与我们交流的，只是我们没有勇气交谈罢了。知道怎样轻松愉快地与人交谈，不但可以拓宽交友的范围，还可以丰富我们的生活。

我曾遇到过新奥尔良的一个修女。她举止文雅，似乎与世无争。交谈中我才发现，她的工作竟是帮助那些出狱后的少年犯重新做人。在加拿大的火车上，我也遇到过一位上了年纪、非常古板的女人。她对我说要去北极圈的一个村子旅游。据说在那里可以看到北极熊在街上行走。

同我交谈过的陌生人，无不丰富了我的知识。我在公园遇到了一个园林工，他讲的有关植物生长的知识，比我以往任何时候学到的都要多。埃及王谷的一个出租车司机邀我去他家喝茶，从他家的地板上。我看到了与我们相距很远的一种生活。在挪威首都奥斯陆。一个二次大战期间的挪威反抗组织队员。把我带到一个杂草丛生、海风呼啸的高地，讲述了纳粹为报复反抗组织的胜利，在那里将人质处死的全部经过。

陌生人甚至可以对我们有所启发。因为我很可能会对陌生人谈起我早就想要说的事情。所以，我们可以从陌生的眼睛里了解自己。幸运的是，与陌生人的邂逅也可以发展成终生的友谊。最近我收到了一封信，来自一个同我相识30年的人。我们是在纽约的宾夕法尼亚车站的长椅上认识的。想想看，我们所有的朋友当初不都是陌生人吗？在我去过的一个公园里有块牌子，上面写着：世上没有陌生人，只有期待着与你见面的朋友。

怎样才能学会与陌生人悠然自得地交谈呢？虽然没有神奇的公式，但能掌握以下几点，陌生人的心灵就会永远为你敞开：

1。诚恳地谈你的感受。

无论怎样的情景。要敢于对第一个似乎乐意听你说话的人说出你的感受。然后你会发现，你的感受定能产生共鸣。总之，即使勉强说出“我很害羞”或“这儿的人都不认识我”之类的话，也比局促不安地离去要礼貌得多。成功的交谈者，是那些说话幽默、有勇气开诚布公的人。假如我们能坦率地谈自己的事，对方自然会说出他的想法。

我曾与一个出过一部好书的心理学家交谈过。我原以为这样的谈话很惬意，使我吃惊的是，我怕得简直不知如何开口，我最后说道：“我听不懂你的话，并且害怕你。”他对我的话感到好奇，随后我们的谈话真正开始了。

2。谈论周围的环境。

记得一次在火车上，坐在我身边的是一个沉默寡言的女人。直到我们分手前的半小时，我们才打破了沉默的状态。当火车通过大海的人口处时，我们都发现了远处岬角上的那间孤零零的小屋，她一直注视着那间屋子直到它消失。她突然说：“小时候我就住在像那间屋子一样冷寂的灯塔里。”并兴致勃勃地讲述了那种荒凉生活的美妙之处。

3。谈关于对方的事。

我曾听到一个女人对一陌生人说：“你的脸真是太好看了。”或许大多数人没有说这种话的勇气，但是可以说些类似的话题：“你一进来我就看见你走过来，我想……”或者说“你在读我最喜爱的书”。

4。提问题。

许多令人难忘的谈话都是以提问开始的。我经常问别人：“你的工作情况如何？”对方通常会作出热烈的回应。

5。倾听对方的回答。

令人愉快的谈话多半是在昕对方的回答，做不到这一点，就没有真正的交谈。所以说，听也是一种艺术。

当你的新伙伴说话时，要专心地望着他，并及时地作出反应。鼓励他继续说下去。所以听就成了主动的，而不是被动。愉快的谈话目的是：即使是闲谈。也在于相互发现和了解。

你能为一次谈话奉献什么呢？请记住：其他人对你感到好奇，正如你对他们感到好奇一样；你可以补充他们的生活，他们也可以补充你的生活。

糟糕的是，很少有人意识到他们要给对方些什么。有人对我说，他们常常害羞、迟钝。“我没有发现什么有意思的东西”，他们总是一错再错，实际上大多数人都很有意思。

在《交谈可以改变你的生活》一书里，多萝西·萨诺夫写道：“每个不尽完美、各式各样的陌生人身上都具有一些美好的东西。”所以说。只要我与你交谈。出现在我面前的就是一个谜：你是怎样一个人？你要讲的是什么故事？

由于自视与人不同，许多人总爱谈自己的希望和烦恼。基于这一点，所有戏剧性的夸夸其谈都是谎言。只有相互敞开胸怀。刻意理解或被理解时，我们才会发现一场令人感动的谈话正在进行。

我们需要陌生人、不喜欢我们的人、曾经对我们是个谜的人的鼓励。而且。一旦与陌生人结识后。只要他能找到你就不会抛弃你。更可贵的是，与陌生人的交谈，完全是感情与智慧的接触，永远属于精神财富的一部分。陌生人乍看上去与我们不同，甚至不相容。实际上他们也是有愿望、经历过痛苦、勇于探索、追求幸福的人——如我们自己一样。

4.微笑双语美文欣赏 篇四

Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other―it doesn’t matter who it is―and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.

经常保持笑容，对你的另一半、你的孩子微笑，甚至对陌生人也不要吝惜你的微笑，因为小小的微笑就能大大增进人与人之间的感情。 ――泰瑞莎修女

1/ Many Americans are familiar with The Little Prince, a wonderful book by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. This is a whimsical and fabulous book and works as a children’s story as well as a thought-provoking adult fable. Far fewer are aware of Saint-Exupery’s other writings, novels and short stories.

法国作家安东尼·圣艾修伯里所写的《小王子》是本很多美国人都很熟悉的极好的书。这本书表面上看来是童话故事，但世故的成人读来也觉寓意深远。很少人知道，除了《小王子》，圣艾修伯里还创作过其他小说和短篇故事。

2/ Saint-Exupery was a fighter pilot who fought against the Nazis and was killed in action. Before World War II, he fought in the Spanish Civil War against the fascists. He wrote a fascinating story based on that experience entitled The Smile. It is this story which I’d like to share with you now. It isn’t clear whether or not he meant this to be autobiographical or fiction. I choose to believe it to be the former.

圣艾修伯里是名飞行员，二次大战对抗纳粹时被击落身亡，之前他也曾参加西班牙内战打击法西斯分子。他根据这次经验写了一篇精彩的故事――《微笑》，现在要提的就是这篇作品。这是真实故事或是虚构事情，没人能下定论，但我宁可相信这是作者的亲身体验。

3/ He said that he was captured by the enemy and thrown into a jail cell. He was sure that from the contemptuous looks and rough treatment he received from his jailers he would be executed the next day. From here, I’ll tell the story as I remember it in my own words.

故事的前段大意是作者被敌军俘虏，关进监牢。看守监狱的人一脸凶相，态度极为恶劣。他心想，明天绝对会被拖出去枪毙。以下是我记忆中的故事原文。

4/ “I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous and distraught. I fumbled in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those.

“一想到自己明天就没命了，不禁陷入极端的惶恐与不安。我翻遍了口袋，终于找到一支没被他们搜走的香烟，但我的手紧张得不停发抖，连将烟送进嘴里都成问题，而我的火柴也在搜身时被拿走了。

5/ “I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. After all, one does not make eye contact with a thing, a corpse. I called out to him ‘Have you got a light?’ He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette.

“我透过铁栏望着外面的警卫，他并没有注意到我在看他，也许对他而言，我只是他看守的一样‘物品’、一具‘尸体’。我叫了他一声：‘能跟你借个火吗?’他转头望着我，耸了耸肩，然后走了过来，点燃我的香烟

6/ “As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

“当他帮我点火时，他的眼光无意中与我的相接触，这时我突然冲着他微笑。我不知道自己为何有这般反应，也许是过于紧张，或者是当你如此靠近另一个人，你很难不对他微笑。不管是何理由，我对他笑了。就在这一刹那，这抹微笑如同火花般，打破了我们心灵间的隔阂。受到了我的感染，他的嘴角不自觉地也现出了笑容，虽然我知道他原无此意。他点完火后并没立刻离开，两眼盯着我瞧，脸上仍带着微笑。

7/ “I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension, too. ‘Do you have kids?’ he asked.

“我也以笑容回应，仿佛他是个朋友，而不是个守着我的警卫。他看着我的眼神也少了当初的那股凶气，‘你有小孩吗?’他开口问道。

8/ “ ‘Yes, here, here.’ I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too.

“‘有，你看。’我拿出了皮夹，手忙脚乱地翻出了我的全家福照片。他也掏出了照片，并且开始讲述他对家人的期望与计划。这时我眼中充满了泪水，我说我害怕再也见不到家人。我害怕没机会看着孩子长大。他听了也流下两行眼泪。

9/ Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

“突然间，他二话不说地打开了牢门，悄悄地带我从后面的小路逃离了监狱，出了小镇，就在小镇的边上，他放了我，之后便转身往回走，不曾留下一句话。

10/ My life was saved by a smile.

“一个微笑居然能救自己一条命。”

11/ Yes, the smile―the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I tell this story in my work because I’d like people to consider that underneath all the layers we construct to protect ourselves, our dignity, our titles, our degrees, our status and our need to be seen in certain ways―underneath all that, remains the authentic, essential self. I’m not afraid to call it the soul. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn’t be enemies. We couldn’t have hate or envy or fear. I sadly conclude that all those other layers, which we so carefully construct through our lives, distance and insulate us from truly contacting others. Saint-Exupery’s story speaks of that magic moment when two souls recognize each other.

是的，微笑是人与人之间最自然真挚的沟通方式，我在我的作品中讲这个故事，因为我希望人们能仔细想想以下的事情：人常常为自己建立层层的保护膜，为了维护尊严、头街、身分、形象等，而必须有所隐藏。我相信在这些掩饰下，每个人都有一个真实、不带虚伪的灵魂。如果我们能用心灵去认识彼此，世间不会有结怨成仇的憾事;恨意、妒嫉、恐惧也会不复存在。可惜的是人小心翼翼为自己所建造的保护膜，却阻隔了自己与他人真诚相对的机会。圣艾修伯里的这则故事，让我们见到了两颗心灵相互交流的神奇时刻。

12/ I’ve had just a few moments like that. Falling in love is one example. And looking at a baby. Why do we smile when we see a baby? Perhaps it’s because we see someone without all the defensive layers, someone whose smile for us we know to be fully genuine and without guile. And that baby-soul inside us smiles wistfully in recognition.

5.最棒的礼物双语美文欣赏 篇五

Relax. He is the same little boy you loved yesterday. I smiled trying to hold back the tears. “No he isn’t. Yesterday I dreamed he would be an astronaut. Today I am hoping he will learn to talk.”放松。他仍是你昨天爱着的那个小男孩。我笑着,试图抑制住眼里的泪水。“不,他不是。昨天我还梦想着他长大后会成为一名宇航员,今天我只希望他能学会说话。”

It was like some sort of cosmic joke. I could still recall the day that determined my fate. It was October in Ottawa and the summer breezes had given way to the autumn rainfall of leaves. The snow would begin soon. The crispness of coming frost was in the air. My casually mentioning Wyatt’s behavior to Dr. Martin aroused his worries. He started asking me questions about Wyatt’s activities, speech pattern and emotions. I still see clearly in my mind the sterility of the room and all its belongings when the doctor turned to me and said, “He almost sounds autistic.”那就像个宇宙般巨大的玩笑。我仍能忆起决定我命运的那个日子。那是在渥太华十月里的一天。秋日的纷飞黄叶取代了夏日的阵阵微风,很快就要开始下雪了,空气里弥漫着霜雪将至的那份清爽。我不经意地向马丁医生提及怀亚特的一些行为,却引起了他的担忧。他开始询问我有关怀亚特的行为、说话方式以及情绪方面的问题。我仍清晰地记得,当他转向我说“他应该是患有自闭症”时,一尘不染的诊室和内里的一切在我眼中是那么的冷酷苍白。

I couldn’t cope with that picture in my mind. I had to run to get away from this all too painful place that was reminding me of what was to be my child’s life-being strange.我无法面对脑中的那个画面。我不得不逃离那个让我感到如此痛苦的地 方——它提醒着我自己的`孩子一生将有别于常人。

I could not remember how many times I told myself, “This is normal. He is a little boy who is not talking yet,” when my asking questions met with his blank-eyed response in a restaurant; how many times I would brag, “He loves to play on his own for hours at a time and he never gets into trouble,” when Wyatt was playing games that no one else could conceive of, let alone join in while other boys in the park were playing together or in small groups huddled around a sand pail or toy truck. My life was changing direction. So was Wyatt’s.我都记不起来,多少次,在餐馆里孩子对我的提问以空洞的眼神作答时,我告诉自己“这很正常,他是个还不会说话的小孩”;多少次,当公园里的其他孩子正一起玩耍,或是小群小群围着一个沙桶或玩具火车玩时,怀亚特却玩着别人无法想象的游戏,更别说加入其他孩子中时,我会吹嘘道“他每次都喜欢独自玩上几个小时,而且从不惹麻烦。”我的人生方向在改变,怀亚特的也如此。

I started to hide Wyatt from my friends and neighbor especially from a good friend. For eight months a friend and I had been pregnant together. Our boys were six days apart. We used to have long phone talks about our babies to share some fun and loss. It was too painful to let others know about my boy acting strange. It was like a blot in my life that was supposed to be happy and wonderful.我开始不让怀亚特在我的朋友和邻居面前露面,特别是我的一个好友。我和她同在那八个月里怀着宝宝。我们儿子的出生日期只相隔六天。我们过去常常在电话里长谈我们的宝宝,分享乐与失。让他人知道我的儿子行为异常,这对我来说太痛苦了,那就像是我本该幸福美好的人生中的一个污点。

It was a Thursday afternoon and I found one half of a great pair of kitchen scissors was missing. They were unbelievably sharp and could be taken apart so they could be washed or the blades sharpened. I knew Wyatt had taken the missing blade.那是一个周四的下午。我发现厨房里的一把大剪刀少了半边。剪刀很锋利,两边可以拆开来清洗或是磨刀口。我知道那不见了的半边剪刀是怀亚特给拿走了。

“Wyatt,” I began as patiently as I could, “Do you see this” I held up the blade. “Do you know what this is?”“怀亚特,”我尽可能耐心地开始问话,“你看见这个了吗”我拿起那半边剪刀,“你知道这是什么吗?”

Wyatt stuffed a bunch of Fruit Loops in his mouth. No response.怀亚特往嘴里塞了一把“水果圈圈”糖,并没回答。

“Wyatt!” I forced eye contact with him. “Where are the other scissors See these” I showed him the half pair. “These are in this drawer. Where are the other ones?”“怀亚特!”我强迫他和我对视。“另外半边剪刀在哪看见这个了吗”我给他看那半边剪刀。“这半边剪刀放在这个抽屉里。另外半边呢”。

He grinned big. Ate Fruit Loops. Turned the TV on and off. Still no response.他咧开嘴大笑,吃着“水果圈圈”糖,把电视开了又关,还是没回答。

I didn’t know what to do. It was really hard. “Wyatt,” I tried once more, “Mommy wants these scissors. Can you go get them for Mommy It will make Mommy so happy if you bring me the scissors.”我不知道该怎么办。这真的太困难了。“怀亚特,”我又试了一次,“妈咪需要用剪刀。你能拿给妈咪吗如果你把剪刀的那边拿给妈咪,我会很开心的。”

“Watch Spongebob” Wyatt asked as he slid down from his kitchen stool and ran off, leaving me shaking my head and wondering in exactly which way this situation was going to end badly.“看动画片《海绵宝宝》吗”怀亚特边问边从厨房里的那张板凳上滑下来跑开,只留我一个人摇着头,不知道这种状况将会以何种糟糕的方式才能结束。

Five minutes later, I turned my head to see Wyatt coming downstair his favorite doll in one hand, the missing half pair of kitchen scissors in the other. I immediately ran over and took it from him.五分钟后,我转过头看见怀亚特走下楼梯,一手拿着他最喜欢的娃娃,一手拿着厨房那剪刀缺了的那半边。我立刻跑过去,从他手上把半边剪刀夺了过来。

“Wyatt!” I hugged him. “Thank you for bringing me the scissors! Good job! You did it! These scissors need to stay in the kitchen. These are Mommy’s scissors!”“怀亚特!”我抱着他。“谢谢你把剪刀拿给我!干得好!你做到了!这些剪刀要放在厨房里。这些是妈咪的剪刀啊!”

Wyatt laughed, looked me straight in the eye and said, “Mommy so happy!”怀亚特笑了。他直直地盯着我看,说道“妈咪好开心!”

I was on the verge of tears. A realization dawned on me that he was the best gift I had ever gotten even though he was not as normal as other children. And why did I hide him from others as if he were some dark and terrible secret No! He was my pride. It was a long, hard battle to get him to this point, expressing his wants and needs without resorting to violence in frustration. In fact, each new day brings out a new set of challenges and we have learned a lot about fighting this thing called autism. With love and patience I have found the beautiful, happy boy who would teach me more about life.我的泪水快掉下来了。我忽然意识到,他是我得到的最棒的礼物,尽管他不像其他孩子那般正常。而我为什么要把他藏起来不让别人看见,仿佛他是个见不得人的可怕的秘密不!他是我的骄傲。他走到今天,能表达出自己所需而非沮丧地诉诸暴力,这是经过了一场漫长而艰辛的战役的。事实上,每一个崭新的日子都给我们带来了一连串新挑战,而在与这被称为“自闭症”的事物抗争的过程中,我们学到了很多。带着爱和耐心,我发现这个漂亮而快乐的男孩将教会我更多生活的东西。

6.双语诗歌欣赏 篇六

如果人生可以重来

人生短短几十载，睡眠又占了三分之一。所剩无几的时光，白驹过隙。如果我们还在为他人犯的错而生气，为鸡毛蒜皮的事而烦恼，更是要悔到肠子都青了。珍惜我们所拥有的，守护我们所珍爱的，活在当下……

If I had my life to live over,

I’d dare to make more mistakes next time.

I’d relax, I would 1)limber up.

I would be sillier than I have been in this trip.

I would take fewer things seriously.

I would take more chances.

I would take more trips.

如果我的人生可以重来,

下回我会敢于多犯些错误。

我会放轻松点,更懂灵活变通。

我会过得比这趟旅程更糊涂傻气。

严肃看待的事情会更少一些。

我会多作些尝试。

我会多安排几趟旅行。

I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers.

I would eat more ice cream and less beans.

I would perhaps have more actual troubles,

but I’d have fewer imaginary ones.

我会爬更多的山,游更多的河。

我会多吃一点冰淇淋,少吃一点豆子。

我也许会有多一些实际的困难,

但会少一点想象中的烦恼。

You see, I’m one of those people who live

sensibly and sanely hour after hour,

day after day.

你知道,我是那种辰复一辰,

日复一日,

过着明智而清醒的.生活的人。

Oh, I’ve had my moments,

And if I had it to do over again,

I’d have more of them.

In fact, I’d try to have nothing else.

Just moments, one after another,

instead of living so many years ahead of each day.

喔,过去我曾有过一些得意之时,

而如果我可以重头再来,

我会拥有更多美好时光。

事实上,我会试着不去祈求其他事物。

只求美好光阴,一刻接一刻,

而不是每一天都在面对好几年后的日子。

I’ve been one of those people who never go anywhere

without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat and a 2)parachute.

If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter next time.

我曾经是那种

没有温度计,没有热水瓶,没有雨衣和降落伞的话,就哪儿也去不了的人。

如果我要再来一遍,下一趟的旅程会更轻便些。

If I had my life to live over,

I would start barefoot earlier in the spring

and stay that way later in the fall.

I would go to more dances.

I would ride more merry-go-rounds.

I would pick more daisies.

如果我的人生可以重来,

春天到来时候,我要尽早开始打起赤脚,

然后一直持续到深秋。

我要跳更多的舞。

我要多玩几次旋转木马。

7.双语美文关于老 篇七

The realization that you are getting older can come in waves.

关于你在衰老的提醒会纷至沓来。

You watch movies and point to the actors, saying: “She’s dead. Oh, he’s dead, too.”

看电影时，你指着里面的演员，说：“她已经死了。噢，他也死了。”

Your parents move to a retirement community they call God’s waiting room.

你的父母搬进了一个养老社区，他们称之为上帝的候车室。

You hear more snap, crackle and pop in your joints than in your breakfast cereal.

浑身上下的关节咔哒啪啦作响，比咀嚼早餐麦片还热闹。

In society, youthfulness is glorified and getting older is cast as something to avoid, but as your age increases, your quality of life does not necessarily have to decrease, experts said.

在社会中，青春是一种荣耀，变老是需要避免的事，但是专家说，年龄会增长，你的生活质量却不一定要随之下降。

Here’s what you should know:

以下是一些需要知道的东西：

What is ‘old’?

什么是“老”?

Most people wouldn’t say that a 38-year-old qualifies, but once you pass the median age of 37.8, you may statistically be considered “old,” said Tom Ludwig, emeritus professor of psychology at Hope College in Holland, Mich.

多数人不会认为一个38岁的人“老”，但密西根州霍兰的霍普学院(Hope College)的心理学荣休教授汤姆.路德维格(Tom Ludwig)说，一旦越过37.8这个年龄中值，你在统计学意义上就属于“老人”了。

Studies show that people start feeling old in their 60s, and a Pew Research Center survey found that nearly 3,000 respondents said 68 was the average age at which old age begins.

研究显示人们是在过了60岁以后开始觉得老的，皮尤研究中心(Pew Research Center)的一项调查发现，将近3000名受访者认为68岁是进入老年阶段的平均年龄。

Daniel B. Kaplan, an assistant professor of social work at Adelphi University in Garden City, N.Y., said in an email that living to an advanced age was a relatively recent achievement.

纽约州加登城的阿德尔菲大学(Adelphi University)的社会福利工作助理教授丹尼尔.B.凯普兰(Daniel B. Kaplan)通过一封电邮表示，活到高龄相对来说是人类近期才取得的成就。

“The average human life span gained more years during the 20th century than in all prior millennia combined,” he wrote, adding that the average life expectancy in the United States is 79.1.

“人类平均寿命在20世纪的增幅，比之前的几千年加起来还要大，”他写道，此外他说美国人的平均预期寿命为79.1岁。

“For many people, old age creeps up slowly and sometimes without fanfare or acknowledgment,” he wrote. “While most people enjoy relative continuity over the decades, being able to adapt to the changing context of our lives is the key to success throughout life.”

“对许多人来说，衰老是慢慢到来的，有时候并不会大张旗鼓，往往令你猝不及防，”他说。“虽然大多数人的生活都会在几十年内保持相对的连贯性，但是纵观人的一生，适应不断变化的生活环境乃是成功的关键。”

8.热爱生命(双语美文) 篇八

杰克·伦敦的《热爱生命》讲述的是这样一个故事：一个美国西部的淘金者在返回的途中被朋友抛弃了，独自跋涉在广袤的荒原上。冬天逼近了，寒风夹着雪花向他袭来„„

That day he decreased the distance between him and the ship by three miles;the next day by two－for he was crawling now as Bill had crawled;and the end of the day found the ship still seven miles away and him unable to make even a mile a day.Still the Indian summer held on, and he continued to crawl and faint, turn and turn about;and ever the sick wolf coughed and wheezed at his heels.His knees had become raw meat like his feet, and though he paddled them with the shirt from his back it was a red track he left behind him on the moss and stones.Once , glancing back, he saw the wolf licking hungrily his bleeding trail, and he saw sharply what his own end might be－unless－unless he could get the wolf.Then began as grim a tragedy of existence as was ever played－a sick man that crawled, a sick wolf that limped, two creatures dragging their dying carcasses across the desolation and hunting each other’s lives.这一天，他和那条船之间的距离又缩短了三英里，到了第二天，他又继续缩短了两英里－因为他现在就和比尔先生先前一样在地上匍匐前进，到了第五天晚上的时候，他发现那条船依然离他还有七英里的距离，而他每天的进程还不到一英里。幸好深秋的天气依然晴朗，他继续爬，一次又一次地晕死过去，可是醒来他又继续地往前爬，不停地回头张望着；而那头病狼也在不停地咳嗽着，发出艰难的喘息声，可依然紧紧尾随其后。他的膝盖－就和他的双脚一样－早给磨得血肉模糊，其实他一早就脱下了身上的衬衣裹住了膝盖，可都没有用，他一路爬下来，他身后的苔藓和岩石上也就留下了一道触目惊心的血渍。有一次他回头的时候，他看见那头饿狼正贪婪地舔着他的血渍，一时间他清楚地意识到自己的结局－除非－除非他把那头狼解决掉。就这样，一幕从来没有上演的求生悲剧开始了－病人在前面爬，瘸腿的病狼尾随其后，两个生灵就这样在荒漠里拖着垂死的躯壳，随时准备猎取对方的生命。Had it been a well wolf, it would not have mattered so much to the man;but the thought of going to feed the maw of that loathsome and all but dead thing was repugnant to him.He was finicky.His mind had begun to wander again, and to be perplexed by hallucinations, while his lucid intervals grew rarer and shorter.如果这是头健康的狼，他也觉得没什么；可是一想到自己要葬身狼腹，尤其是眼前这头令人作恶、病怏怏的饿狼，他就觉得非常厌恶。要知道他可是一个非常讲究的人。他又开始胡思乱想起来，人也因幻觉影响而变得迷糊。他神智清醒的时间越来越少，越来越短。

He was awaken once from a faint by a wheeze close in his ear.The wolf leaped lamely back, losing its footing and falling in its weakness.It was ludicrous, but he was not amused.Nor was he even afraid.He was too far gone for that.But his mind was for the moment clear, and he lay and considered.有一次他从昏迷中被耳边传来的喘息声惊醒；那只狼很快一跛一跛地跳开，由于身体虚弱，那头狼还失足摔了一跤，那样子可笑极了，可是他却笑不出来。倒不是因为他害怕，事情到了这田地他早就不害怕了。不过，在这瞬间他的脑子很清醒，他躺在地上仔细地思考起来。

The ship was more than four miles away.He could see it quite distinctly when he rubbed the mists out of his eyes.But he could never crawl those four miles.He knew that, and was very calm in the knowledge.He knew that he could not crawl half a mile.And yet he wanted to live.It was unreasonable that he should die after all he had undergone.Fate asked too much of him.And, dying, he declined to die.It was stark madness, perhaps, but in the very grip of Death he defied Death and refused to die.那艘船就在离他还不到四英里的地方。他使劲揉了揉眼睛，那艘船清晰的出现在他眼前。可是，他再也爬不完这四英里的路程了，这点他很清楚，因为就算是半英里的路程他也爬不了。可同时他也非常镇静，因为他想活下去。他已经经历了千辛万苦，他不想就这样死掉。命运对他实在太苛刻了，可他就是不愿俯身受死。这是一种近乎疯狂的想法，可就算他无法逃脱死神的魔掌，他仍然要抗争下去，要让自己活下去。

He closed his eyes and composed himself with infinite precaution.He steeled himself to keep above the suffocating languor that lapped like a rising tide through all the wells of his being.It was very like a sea, this deadly languor, that rose and rose and drowned his consciousness bit by bit.Sometimes he was all but submerged, swimming through oblivion with a faltering stroke;and again, by some strange alchemy of soul, he would find another shred of will and strike out more strongly.他闭上眼睛，设法使自己平静下来，不敢有丝毫的松懈。令人窒息的疲倦像涨潮一样，从他的身体各处涌来，他还是顽强地打醒精神，不让自己被疲倦淹没。这种要命的疲倦，就像大海一样，一浪又一浪地涨过来，一点一点地吞噬着他的意识。有时候，他被完全淹没其中，就这样默默地漂游；而有时候，凭借一种奇异的心灵作用，他又找回了些许精神力量，更加坚毅地前进。

Without movement he lay on his back, and he could hear, slowly drawing near and nearer, the wheezing intake and output of the sick wolves breathe.It drew closer, ever closer, through infinitude if time, and did not move.It was his ear.The harsh dry tongue grated like sandpaper against his cheek.His hands shot out －or at least he willed them to shoot out.The fingers were curved like talons, but they closed on empty air.Swiftness and certitude require strength, and the man had not this strength.他一动不动的躺着，耳边传来病狼一呼一吸的喘气声，并且这声音正慢慢地向他逼近。狼愈走愈近，好像过了很久一样，但是他始终躺着没有动。这时狼已经到了他的耳边，那条粗糙的狼舌头就像砂纸一样蹭着他的两腮。他的双手一下子就抓了过去——或者说是他的意志力迫使他的双手抓过去。他的手指弯曲得就像鹰爪一样，可是他却抓了一个空，敏捷和准确是需要力气的，而他偏偏就没有力气。The patience of the wolf was terrible.The man’s patience was no less terrible.那头狼的耐心真是令人可怕，而他的耐心同样令人可怕。

For half a day he lay motionless, fighting off unconsciousness and waiting for the thing that was to feed upon him and upon which he wished to feed.Sometimes the languid sea rose over him and he dreamed longs dreams;but ever through it all, waking and dreaming, he waited for the wheezing breath and the harsh caress of the tongue.这一天，有一大半的时间他就这样静静地躺着，努力不让自己昏迷过去，静静地等着那只想一口吃掉他，他也想一口一口吃掉的动物。有时候当疲倦袭来，他会昏昏沉沉地做起长长的梦。然而，不管他是醒着还是做着梦，他一直在等待着那阵喘息的声音，还有舔过来的粗糙舌头。

He did not hear the breath, and he slipped slowly from some dream to the feel of the tongue along his hand.He waited.The fangs pressed softly;the pressure increased;the wolf was exerting its last strength in an effort to sink teeth in the food for which it had waited so long.But the man had waited too long, and the lacerated hand closed on the jaw.Slowly, while the wolf struggled feebly and the hand clutched feebly, the other hand crept across to a grip.Five minutes later the whole weight of the man was on top of the wolf.The hands hand not sufficient strength to choke the wolf, but the face of the man was pressed close to the throat of the wolf and the mouth of the man was full of hair.At the end of half an hour the man was aware of a warm trickle in his throat.It was not pleasant.It was like molten lead being forced into his stomach, and it was forced by his will alone.Later the man rolled over on his back and slept.他并没有听见那阵喘息声，当他从梦中慢慢苏醒过来的时候，他感觉那头狼正在舔着他的一只手。他依然静静地等着。狼牙已经轻轻地扣在他的手上，压力感渐渐加强，那头狼正在尽最后一点力量把牙齿咬进它等待很久的猎物上。可是他也同样等了很久，那只撕裂的手扳住了狼的下颚。就这样，狼在微弱地挣扎着，那只手也无力地扳着，慢慢地，另一只手也腾了过来掐了过去。在争斗了五分钟后，那人已经把狼死死地按在下面。他双手的力量不足以掐死那头狼，可是他的脸已经紧紧地贴在了狼的咽喉上，一堆狼毛也紧紧扎进了他的嘴里。半个小时后，他感到了一股暖和的液体某某某地流进了他的喉咙，那感觉可真难受，就好像铅液被灌进了他的胃里一样，完全是靠他的意志给硬灌下去的。后来，他翻了个身，仰面睡着了。

There were some members of a scientific expedition on the whale－ship Bedford.From the deck they remarked a strange object on the shore.It was moving down the beach toward the water.They were unable to classify it, and, being scientific men, they climbed into the whale－boat alongside and went ashore to see.And they saw some thing that was alive but which could hardlu be called a man.It was blind, unconscious.It squirmed along the ground like some monstrous worm.Most of its efforts were ineffectual, but it was persistent, and writhed and twisted and went ahead perhaps a score of feet an hour.“贝德富号”捕鲸船有几个科学考察队的队员，他们从甲板上望见岸上有一个奇怪的物体。他正在沙滩朝着海面挪动。他们没有分清到底属于哪类动物，可是他们都是研究科学的人，因此就划了个捕鲸船到岸上察看。接着，他们就发现了一个活着的动物，可是很难把他称之为人。因为他已经瞎了，并且丧失了神智，可是就是这样，他就像一条大虫子一样在地上不断地蠕动。他用的力气大半都不起作用，但是他却始终没有放弃，只见他不停地扭动着身子，蜿蜒前行，或许一个小时下来，他就能爬个二十英尺的距离。

9.获得成功中英双语美文 篇九

On Achieving Success

We cannot travel every path. Success must be won along one line. We must make our business the one life purpose to which every other must be subordinate.

I hate a thing done by halves. If it be right, do it boldly. If it be wrong, leave it undone.

The men of history were not perpetually looking into the mirror to make sure of their own size. Absorbed in their work they did it. They did it so well that the wondering world sees them to be great, and labeled them accordingly.

To live with a high ideal is a successful life. It is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that makes a man strong.“Eternal vigilance,” it has been said,“is the price of liberty.” With equal truth it may be said,“Unceasing effort is the price of success.” If we do not work with our might, others will; and they will outstrip us in the race, and pluck the prize from our grasp. Success grows less and less dependent on luck and chance. Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures. The great and indispensable help to success is character. Character is a crystallized habit, the result of training and conviction. Every character is influenced by heredity, environment and education. But these apart, if every man were not to be a great extent the architect of his own character, he would be a fatalist, and irresponsible creature of circumstances. Instead of saying that man is a creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance. From the same materials one man builds palaces, another hovel. Bricks and mortar are mortar and bricks, until the architect can make them something else. The true way to gain much is never to desire to gain too much. Wise men don’t care for what they can’t have.

关于获得成功

欧内斯特.海明威

我们不可能把每条路都走一遍。必须执着于一条道路才能获得成功。我们必须有一个终生追求的目标，其他的则从属于这个目标。

我痛恨做事半途而废。如果这件事是对的，就大胆勇敢地去做;如果这件事不对，就不要去做。

历史长河中的伟人并不是靠终日瞻观镜中的自己来衡量自身的形象的。他们的形象来自对事业全身心的投入与追求。他们是如此的卓越超凡，于是芸芸众生觉得他们很伟大，并因此称他们为伟人。

为崇高的.理想而活着是一种成功的生活。使人变强大的，不是这个人做了什么，而是他努力尝试去做什么。有人说过，“恒久的警惕是自由的代价”，那同样也可以说，“不懈的努力是成功的代价。”

倘若我们不尽全力工作，别人会尽全力，随后他们将在竞争中超越我们，从我们手中夺取胜利的果实。

成功越来越不依赖于运气和巧合。丧失自信是我们失败的主要原因。

性格是取得成功不可或缺的重要助力。性格是一种固化成形的习惯，是不断培养并坚信于此的结果。每个人的性格都会受到遗传因素、环境和教育的影响。但除此之外，如果人在很大程度上不能成为自己性格的构筑者，那么他就会沦为宿命论者，从而成为环境的失败造物。

与其说人是环境的造物，不如说人是环境的建筑师更贴切些。同样的材料，有人能用其建造出宫殿，而有人只能建成简陋的小屋。在建筑师将其变成他物之前，砖泥依然是砖泥。

想得到的多就永远不要奢望太多。

10.美文欣赏读书的乐趣双语 篇十

读书的乐趣

All the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books—but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how to get the most of it.

人类历来的聪明才智，世世代代所喜欢的故事，人人皆可从书本里获得，既方便又经济——但我们必须懂得如何利用这些宝藏，懂得如何才能从中获益最多

I am most interested in people, in meeting them and finding out about them. Some of the most remarkable people I’ve met existed only in a writer’s imagination, then on the pages of his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I’ve found in books new friends, new societies, new worlds.

我对人特感兴趣，喜欢与人交往，了解人。我所认识的最了不起的人中，有些起先只存在于作者的想像之中，继而出现在他的书中，最后又活跃在我的想象之中。我从书中找到了新的朋友，新的社交圈子，新的世界。

If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in who as in how. Who in the books includes everybody from science-fiction superman two hundred centuries in the future all the way back to the first figures in history how covers everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes1 to the discoveries of science and ways of teaching manners to children.

如果说我感兴趣的是人，别人感兴趣的与其说是人不如说是事。书中的人，从史书上记载的第一批伟人，到街头科幻小说中描写的两万年后的超人，形形色色无所不包。书中的事，从福尔摩斯的神妙剖析，到科学的种.种发现，到如何教育儿童懂得礼貌，五花八门无所不有。

Reading is a pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.

阅读是心智的乐事，颇有点像运动：心情热切、知识丰富、思维敏捷才能造就一个好的读者。读书之所以有趣，不是由于作者告诉了你什么，而是由于读书促使你思考。你的想象与作者的想象一道展开，甚至超过作者的想象。你的经验与作者的经验相比较，使你得出与作者相同的或不同的结论，而你在了解作者思想的同时便形成了自己的思想。

Every book stands by itself, like a one-family louse, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something; they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times.

单独一本书犹如一个独家小院，但汇集到图书馆则好似城市中的千家万户。虽然仍是各自独立，结合起来可就非同寻常了。家家户户彼此相依，还与其他城市相连。相同的思想或相关的思想在不同的地方出现;人生中反复出现的问题在文学中也反复出现，但不同的时代、不同的作品会提出不同的解决办法。

Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you “ought” to read, you probably won’t have fun .But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time—and if you become as a result of reading, better, wiser, or more gentle, you won’t have suffered during the process.

读书之所以能成为乐趣，只在于你有这样的期待。你若是只读别人说的是你“应该”读的书，那可能就不会有什么乐趣可言。但你若是把自己不喜欢的书放下另换别的，直至找到一本你觉得有意思的书，然后轻松地读下去，那你几乎肯定会乐在其中——假如你能因此而变得更高尚、更聪明、更温雅，那阅读本身就不是一种苦差事了。
