優(yōu)美經(jīng)典的英語文章 帶翻譯

　　學(xué)習(xí)英語可以是一個(gè)枯燥的過程，也可以是一個(gè)有趣的過程。小編在此獻(xiàn)上經(jīng)典英語美文，希望對大家喜歡。

　　雙語美文：傾聽與責(zé)任，是人生重要一課

　　1. Take accountability for your mistakes. If you find yourself blaming others, look for your part and take ownership.

　　1. 自己犯的錯(cuò)要承擔(dān)責(zé)任。在責(zé)怪別人之前先找找自己的過錯(cuò)，承擔(dān)責(zé)任。

　　2. Sometimes life puts you through circumstances that show you who's really there for you. Focus on the ones who are there and who love and support you, rather than the ones that aren't, or can't be.

　　2. 有時(shí)候生活會告訴你誰才是真正在乎你的人。把目光放在那些在乎你、愛你、支持你的人身上，不要在意那些不關(guān)心你也不會關(guān)心你的人身上。

　　3. Listening is so much more important than talking. You already know what you know when you open your mouth. When you open your ears that’s when true learning takes place.

　　3. 傾聽比說話重要得多。用嘴巴說的時(shí)候你知道的不會增加，用耳朵聽的時(shí)候你就真的是在學(xué)習(xí)。

　　4. Our energy is one of our greatest resources, so it's important to be careful who surrounds us. It's okay to close the door on negativity. You'll soon see how this preserves your positive energy.

　　4. 能量是我們最重要的資源，所以我們要留意身邊的人。把負(fù)能量拒之門外沒有錯(cuò)，你很快就會發(fā)現(xiàn)這會保護(hù)你的正能量。

　　5. Travel makes you richer - even if it's not far from home. Opening your eyes to the world and all the wonders in it will enrich the quality of your life.

　　5. 旅行會使你更富有，就算只是去附近的地方旅行。放眼世界，世界的精彩會讓你的生活變得美好充實(shí)。

　　6. The older we get, the faster time goes: the only way to slow it down is to be grateful for each moment.

　　6. 年齡越大，時(shí)間走得越快。放慢時(shí)間的唯一方法就是感激每一刻。

　　7. Be patient with the world around you, give others the benefit of the doubt, for you are the one who suffers most when you're irritated.

　　7. 耐心對待身邊的人和事，要先假定他人沒有錯(cuò)，因?yàn)槟阋巧鷼?，最難受的還是你自己。

　　8. Comparing yourself to others is the fastest way to put limitations on your potential. Stick with competing with the person you were yesterday.

　　8. 在你拿自己和他人比較的時(shí)候，你就限制了自己的潛力。堅(jiān)持和昨天的自己競爭吧。

　　9. It is inevitable that bad things will happen, to you or to someone equally undeserving of pain. These moments are meant to measure our reactions to the event, and that's where you'll see how strength is truly defined.

　　9. 不管是在你身上還是別人身上，不管應(yīng)不應(yīng)該，不愉快的事情總會發(fā)生。這樣的事情是用來衡量我們的應(yīng)對能力的，從中你會發(fā)現(xiàn)什么是真正的強(qiáng)大。

　　10. Support your friends dreams and encourage them whenever you can. An added benefit is that you'll be happy to be surrounded by people who love their lives.

　　10. 盡你所能支持朋友的夢想，鼓勵(lì)他們。這樣有一個(gè)好處，就是你身邊會充滿熱愛自己生活的人。

　　11. If you want things to change, start by changing yourself.

　　11. 如果你想要讓事情有所改變，先改變自己。

　　12. If you genuinely don't want to do something or go somewhere, be honest. No one wants to spend time with you when you wish you were somewhere else.

　　12. 如果你確實(shí)不想做某件事或者去某個(gè)地方，坦白拒絕吧。如果你的心在別處，沒人會想花時(shí)間和你在一起的。

　　13. Follow your dreams. Don't be afraid of them...or what other people think of them. Give it all you've got and you can never fail.

　　13. 追隨你的夢想，不要懼怕夢想，不要懼怕別人的看法。全力以赴，你就不會失敗。

　　14. Tell people your dreams, as often as they are willing to listen. Goals become more tangible when we say them aloud.

　　14. 把你的夢想告訴別人，只要?jiǎng)e人沒有厭煩，說得越多越好。當(dāng)你把夢想大聲說出來，目標(biāo)就會變得切實(shí)明確。

　　15. Align yourself with like-minded people, people who motivate and inspire you, and those that make you feel genuinely happy when they are around. Treat them with love and respect.

　　15. 和志趣相投的人做朋友，和會激勵(lì)你、啟發(fā)你的人做朋友，和在你身邊會讓你感到高興的人做朋友。要用愛和敬意對待他們。

　　16. Be a role model: let your actions and your words be unified. Be someone you'd look up to.

　　16. 成為楷模，言行一致，成為一個(gè)自己敬仰的人。

　　雙語美文：智慧無處不在，能否發(fā)現(xiàn)就看你了

　　# Among three of them one master was a thief.

　　這三個(gè)人中有一個(gè)是小偷。

　　Once while wandering around in a desert I got lost and till I found a way and reached the village it was too late. Everything was closed and there was no one outside. At last I found a man who was trying to make hole in a wall. I asked him if I could find a place to stay. He replied that it will be difficult to find a place to stay at this time of night but you can stay with me, if it’s ok with you to stay with a thief. I stayed with him for a month.

　　曾經(jīng)有一次我在沙漠中迷路了，后來我找到一條路，走到村子時(shí)已經(jīng)很晚了。所有店門都關(guān)了，外面一個(gè)人都沒有。最后我發(fā)現(xiàn)有一個(gè)人正在墻上挖洞，我問他我能否找到一個(gè)歇腳的地方，他說這么晚了很難找到待的地方，但如果我愿意和小偷待在一起的話我可以和他一起。然后我和他一起待了一個(gè)月。

　　Each night he would say to me that, “I am going to work. You can rest and pray.” When he came back I would ask him, “Did you get anything today?” He would reply, “No not tonight but tomorrow I will try again. God Willing.” Even after daily disappointment he never lost hope and he was always happy.

　　每天晚上他都跟我說：“我要去工作了，你可以休息祈禱。”他回來時(shí)我會問他：“你今天有收獲嗎?”他回答說：“今晚沒有收獲，但明天我會再試試，上天保佑。”甚至在每天都很失望的時(shí)候，他也從未失去希望，總是很開心。

　　When I was meditating for years and still nothing changed, many moments came when I would get so desperate and hopeless that I thought of leaving all this and then suddenly I would remember words of that thief that, “God willing, Tomorrow it is going to happen. ”

　　我冥想好多年仍沒進(jìn)展時(shí)，有好多次我都很絕望，看不到一絲希望，我想過要放棄所有，但我會突然想起那個(gè)小偷的話：“上天保佑，明天夢想就能實(shí)現(xiàn)。”

　　# Second master was a dog

　　第二位老師是一只狗

　　Once I was going along side of a river, there I saw a dog who was very thirsty. I saw that as dog looked into river to drink water, it saw his own image and got afraid. Seeing his own reflection dog barked and ran away. But because dog was too thirsty he would come back. This happened many time but finally despite his fear, dog jumped into water.

　　有一次我沿著河邊走，看見一只狗很渴。每次這只狗看向水里想要喝水時(shí)，它都會看見自己的倒影，很害怕?？粗约旱牡褂肮肪徒兄荛_。但它實(shí)在太渴了，還得回來。這樣重復(fù)了好多次，但最終雖然仍然恐懼，但它跳進(jìn)了河里。

　　Seeing this I knew that it was a message from God. It means that one has to go forward despite all of his fears.

　　看到這些，我知道了這是上帝的暗示，意思是一個(gè)人要戰(zhàn)勝所有恐懼勇往直前。

I asked him, “Have you lit this candle yourself? ” He replied, “Yes sir.” I said, “There was time when candle was not lit and when it was lit but can you show me the source from which light came?” Boy laughed and blew out the candle and said ,”You have seen light go? Can you tell me where it had gone?? ”

　　我走進(jìn)一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)時(shí)看到一個(gè)小孩兒手里拿著一支點(diǎn)燃的蠟燭。我問他：“這支蠟燭是你自己點(diǎn)的嗎?”他說：“是的，先生。”我說：“有時(shí)蠟燭不亮，有時(shí)卻亮，你能告訴我光亮是從哪里來的嗎?”小男孩笑著把蠟燭吹滅了，說：“你看見光亮消失了吧?你能告訴我它去哪兒了嗎?”

　　Boy continued, “Ok, I will tell you it had returned to the source.” This shattered my ego and at that moment I felt how stupid I was. And since then I just dropped all my Knowledge-ability.

　　小男孩繼續(xù)說道：“好吧，我告訴你它回到了來的地方。”我的自負(fù)蕩然無存，那時(shí)我想自己多愚蠢啊。從那時(shí)起，我放下了自己所有的小聰明。

　　I had no master but this doesn’t means that I was not a disciple. I accepted this whole universe, whole existence as my master.

　　我沒有老師，但這不代表我沒有在學(xué)習(xí)。我把整個(gè)宇宙、所有存在都視為自己的老師。
