初中勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)短文篇一
The Power of the Dream
When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.
At every turn we come across its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.
Believe in your faith. Set the vision before your eyes. Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. It may take one season or more, but the result is the same. Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities. The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible. For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.
Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.
Find your treasure within and cherish2 it. Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.
翻譯：夢(mèng)想的力量
別人看你的眼睛時(shí),他應(yīng)當(dāng)體會(huì)到你內(nèi)心的活力。懷揣夢(mèng)想就像是擁有一座引領(lǐng)你前行的燈塔。
每個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)頭,它給我們帶來(lái)奇跡。每個(gè)新的起點(diǎn),我們脫胎換骨,煥然一新。孤獨(dú)中我們挺過(guò)失望的陰霾,發(fā)現(xiàn)我們的信念不曾動(dòng)搖,我們的力量依然強(qiáng)大。
秉持信念,期盼未來(lái)。許下你最真誠(chéng)的夢(mèng)想,一旦機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)臨,就為之拼搏。也許要花一季甚或更多的時(shí)間,但結(jié)局不會(huì)改變。立大志,傾全力,成現(xiàn)實(shí)。前途未卜,唯有一步一個(gè)腳印,夢(mèng)想者的至高希冀才會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)。我們必須珍存夢(mèng)想,給它一季的保護(hù),讓它在內(nèi)心悄然生發(fā)。然而我們還得溫柔呵護(hù)我們內(nèi)心至深的期許,慢慢地夢(mèng)想必將成就新的生命。
夢(mèng)想是實(shí)現(xiàn)信仰的第一步。你的期待熠熠光輝,它會(huì)驅(qū)逐不信的陰影。上帝賦予我們夢(mèng)想的天資,去點(diǎn)亮不曾確信的世界。讓夢(mèng)想的財(cái)富寄于心中,珍愛(ài)它,明天正等著你跨出第一步。
初中勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)短文篇二
Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny,” the maxim goes.
人的品德基本上是又習(xí)慣組成的。 俗語(yǔ)說(shuō);思想決定行動(dòng)，行動(dòng)決定習(xí)慣，習(xí)慣決定品德，品德決定命運(yùn)。
Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
習(xí)慣對(duì)我們的生活有絕大的影響，因?yàn)樗且回灥摹?在不知不覺(jué)中， 經(jīng)年累月影響著我們的品德，暴露出我們的本性，左右著我們的成敗。
As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.
美國(guó)著名教育家曼恩曾說(shuō)：“習(xí)慣就仿佛是一條纜繩，我們每天為他纏上一股新索，不要多久就會(huì)變得牢不可破。”這句話的后半段我不敢茍同，我相信習(xí)慣可以養(yǎng)成，也可以打破，但絕不是一蹴而就，而是需要長(zhǎng)期的努力和無(wú)比的毅力。
Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.
宇航員搭乘阿波羅11號(hào)太空船，首次登陸月球的剎那，的確令人嘆為觀止。但宇航員得先擺脫地球強(qiáng)大的引力，才能飛往月球。由此在剛發(fā)射的幾分鐘，也就是整個(gè)任務(wù)一開(kāi)始的幾英里之內(nèi)，是最艱難的時(shí)刻，所耗的力量往往超越往后的幾十萬(wàn)英里。
Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.
習(xí)慣也是一樣，它具有極大的引力，只是許多人不加注意或不肯承認(rèn)了。想要革除因循茍且，缺乏耐心，吹毛求疵或自私自利等不良習(xí)性，若是缺乏意志力，不能大刀闊斧的改革，便難以實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。“起飛”需要極大的努力，然而一旦脫離重力的牽絆，我們便可享受前所未有的自由。
Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.
習(xí)慣的引力就如同自然界所有的力量一般，可以為我們所用，也可能危害我們，關(guān)鍵看我們?nèi)绾芜\(yùn)用。不過(guò)，習(xí)慣或許一時(shí)有礙于達(dá)到目標(biāo)，但也有積極的一面。宇宙萬(wàn)物各循軌道運(yùn)行，彼此保持一定的秩序，畢竟也都有賴于引力的作用。所以只要我們善于運(yùn)用習(xí)慣的龐大引力，就能使生活有重心，有秩序，有效率。
初中勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)短文篇三
It was a classic night. The noisy Mexico City gradually calmed down. The main stadium of Olympic track and field competition was enveloped in the darkness.
After he finished making the scenes the marathon winners received the trophies and marked the victory, Greenspan, the world famous newsreel producer, found the stadium empty. It was time for him to return to the hotel for a rest. He was about to leave when he suddenly saw a bandaged man with his right leg stained with the blood ran into the stadium. This man ran lamely out of breath, but he didn’t stop. After he ran along the runway for a circle and got to the goal, he collapsed on the ground...
Greenspan guessed this was a marathon athlete. Out of curiosity, he went over to ask why the athlete wanted to run to the goal with such a difficulty.
The young man called Kowari from Tanzania replied gently, “That my country sent me here from more than 20,000 kilometers is not let me get off the mark in the competition, but makes me complete the game. I want to run to the goal, though I have fallen behind all other runners, but I have a sacred goal like them： I will run to the goal. Though the audience won’t cheer me any more, my motherland is watching me intently from behind...”
Tears welled up in Greenspan's eyes. Soon, he spread the most touching scene in the history of the Olympic Games to every corner of the world.
Life should have a dream of reaching the peak, yet we should understand not everybody has the ability to do it.The most important is not whether we can reach the peak but whether we have made the greatest efforts-to reach the goal in the mind is a success.
翻譯：
我要跑向終點(diǎn)
那是一個(gè)經(jīng)典的夜晚,喧囂的墨西哥城終于漸漸安靜下來(lái)，奧運(yùn)會(huì)田徑比賽的主體育場(chǎng)籠罩在夜色中。
享譽(yù)國(guó)際的紀(jì)錄片制作人格林斯潘將當(dāng)天馬拉松比賽優(yōu)勝者們領(lǐng)取將杯慶祝勝利的鏡頭制作完畢，才發(fā)現(xiàn)體育場(chǎng)內(nèi)已空無(wú)一人，自己該回賓館休息了。他剛要離開(kāi)體育場(chǎng)，突然看到一個(gè)右腿沾滿血污，綁著繃帶的人跑進(jìn)體育場(chǎng)。這個(gè)人一瘸一拐地跑著，氣喘吁吁,卻沒(méi)有停下來(lái)。他順著跑道跑了一圈，抵達(dá)終點(diǎn)后，一下癱倒在地……
格林斯潘猜想，這是一名馬拉松運(yùn)動(dòng)員。在好奇心的驅(qū)使下，他走了過(guò)去，詢問(wèn)這名運(yùn)動(dòng)員為什么要這么吃力地跑到終點(diǎn)。
這位來(lái)自坦桑尼亞名叫?？送呃锏哪贻p人輕聲回答說(shuō)：“我的國(guó)家從兩萬(wàn)多公里外送我來(lái)這里,不是叫我在這場(chǎng)比賽中起跑，而是派我來(lái)完成這場(chǎng)比賽的。我要跑向終點(diǎn)，盡管我已經(jīng)落在奔跑隊(duì)伍的最后面，但我有著和他們一樣神圣的目標(biāo)：我要跑到終點(diǎn)，盡管不再有觀眾為我加油，但我身后有祖國(guó)的凝望……”
格林斯潘淚光盈盈。很快，他就用鏡頭將奧運(yùn)史上這最動(dòng)人的一幕傳遞到世界的每個(gè)角落。
人生應(yīng)該擁有登臨峰頂?shù)膲?mèng)想，但更應(yīng)該懂得不是每個(gè)人都有到達(dá)峰頂?shù)哪芰?。最重要的不是能否到達(dá)峰頂，而是是否盡到了最大努力——到達(dá)心中的目標(biāo)，便是一種成功。
