優(yōu)秀的英語(yǔ)散文:視野放寬,才能活得快樂(lè)自得
One day a professor entered the classroom and told the students about a surprise test. After hearing that all students were seated and waited for the test to begin. Now, the professor gave the test papers to all students with text facing down at the desk. Once he was done with handing out the test to all students, he asked them to turn the test pages and begin.
一天一位教授走進(jìn)教室,跟學(xué)生說(shuō)要進(jìn)行一次突擊測(cè)試。聽(tīng)到這個(gè)消息,所有學(xué)生都坐好等待測(cè)試開(kāi)始,然后教授把試卷發(fā)給所有學(xué)生,有字的一面朝下放。所有試卷都發(fā)完后,教授讓學(xué)生把試卷翻過(guò)來(lái),開(kāi)始測(cè)試。
Student’s were confused to see that there was not a question but just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor noticed the students' face expression and told them, “I want you to write about what you see there.”
學(xué)生看到卷上沒(méi)有問(wèn)題,在紙中央只有一個(gè)黑點(diǎn),都很困惑。教授注意到了學(xué)生臉上的表情,說(shuō):“我想讓你們把看到的都寫下來(lái)。”
The students were still confused but got started with the test. At the end of the class, the professor took all answer sheets and started reading each answer from each sheet in front of all students. All of them described about the black dot and tried to explain its position etc.. After the professor finished reading the whole class was silent.
學(xué)生們依舊疑惑,但都開(kāi)始了測(cè)試??煜抡n時(shí)教授把所有試卷都收上來(lái),開(kāi)始在全班面前讀每張?jiān)嚲砩系拇鸢?。所有學(xué)生都描述了那個(gè)黑點(diǎn),并努力說(shuō)明它的位置。教授讀完以后全班都沉默了。
Now, professor began to explain, “Don’t worry, I am not going to give you grades for this but I just want you to think about something. Here everyone focused on the black dot wrote about it but no one wrote about the white paper, the same is with our lives. The white paper represents our whole life and the black spot represents problems in our life.
現(xiàn)在教授開(kāi)始解釋:“不用擔(dān)心,這個(gè)測(cè)試我不會(huì)給你們打分,我只是想讓你們思考一件事。這里的每個(gè)人關(guān)注的都是黑點(diǎn),寫的都是這個(gè)黑點(diǎn),卻沒(méi)人描述這張白紙,我們的生活也是如此。白紙代表我們的一生,黑點(diǎn)代表我們生活中的問(wèn)題。
Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate –our friends around us, the job that provides us our livelihood, the miracles we see everyday.
我們的生命是上帝賜予我們的禮物,其中充滿愛(ài)和關(guān)心,我們總是有快樂(lè)的理由——身邊的朋友、為我們提供生計(jì)的工作,還有我們每天看到的不可思議的事。
Still we just focus on day to day problems like health issues, lack of money, problems in relationships etc. but we never see that these problems are very small compared to everything we have in our lives.”
我們?nèi)匀恢皇侨諒?fù)一日地關(guān)注著問(wèn)題,比如健康問(wèn)題、缺錢、人際關(guān)系的問(wèn)題等,我們卻從未看到和我們生活中所擁有的一切相比,這些問(wèn)題簡(jiǎn)直微不足道。”
Moral Lesson: We should try to take eyes off our problems and Enjoy each one of our blessings, Each moment that life gives us. Be happy and Live Life Positively.
道理:我們應(yīng)該努力把注意力從問(wèn)題上移開(kāi),享受你所擁有的一切和生命里的每一刻。要幸??鞓?lè),積極面對(duì)生活。
優(yōu)秀的英語(yǔ)散文:你不了解別人的人生,勿妄斷
A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…
一個(gè)24歲的男孩子望著車窗外,大聲說(shuō)……
-“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”
-“爸爸,看,那些樹在后退!”
Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed…
爸爸笑了。一對(duì)坐在附近的年輕夫婦看著這個(gè)24歲的男孩子,為他的幼稚行為感到可惜。突然,男孩子再次呼喊道……
-“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”
-“爸爸,看,云朵在跟著我們一起跑!”
The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…
那對(duì)夫婦忍不住對(duì)這位老先生說(shuō)……
-“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?” The old man smiled and said…“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today.”
-“您為什么不帶兒子去看醫(yī)生呢?”老先生笑著說(shuō)……“我?guī)催^(guò)醫(yī)生了,我們剛從醫(yī)院回來(lái),我的兒子一出生就失明了,他今天才重獲光明。”
Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.
在這個(gè)世界上,每個(gè)人都有一個(gè)故事。不要在你真正了解別人之前就去評(píng)判他們。真相可能會(huì)讓你大吃一驚。
優(yōu)秀的英語(yǔ)散文:多些諒解,自己的生活會(huì)更好
"I worked as a bartender/waitress at a bar inside an upscale health-food grocery store (it's a real thing, I promise). Most of our clientele was well-off retirees and 30-something recently divorced men hoping to get a date with someone coming in after a yoga class. Generally a nice group of customers, but definitely rich, uptight people. Forgetting to bring salt to some might be a huge offense, but automatically bringing it causes others to give you a lecture about sodium intake. It was a difficult balancing act.
“我曾在一家高檔健康食品雜貨店里面擔(dān)任酒吧的酒保兼服務(wù)生(真的是健康食品,我保證)。我們的大多數(shù)客戶是富裕的退休人員和30歲剛離婚并希望與一個(gè)剛上完瑜伽課的女人約會(huì)的男人?;旧隙际切┖苡焉频念櫩?,不過(guò)都真的有錢,而且要求比較高。忘記給他們送上鹽可能會(huì)引起他們的強(qiáng)烈反感,但拿了鹽的話他們又會(huì)給你上一門有關(guān)鈉攝入量的課。這個(gè)動(dòng)作的輕重真的很難拿捏。”
"It was St. Patrick's Day. There was also a March Madness game with the local university team playing and we were short-staffed. Needless to say, it was an insane evening with me rushing around serving corned beef and cabbage, pouring Guinness, and making sure no one was becoming belligerent.
“那天是圣帕特里克節(jié),當(dāng)時(shí)正在進(jìn)行“瘋狂三月”的比賽,當(dāng)?shù)卮髮W(xué)的校隊(duì)有參加,我們?nèi)耸植粔?。不用說(shuō),這是一個(gè)瘋狂的夜晚,我不斷奔波著為客戶提供腌牛肉和卷心菜,以及吉尼斯黑啤酒,并確保沒(méi)有人要斗毆。”
"For some reason, the bar supervisor always liked to have food specials on display for people to see. While I get the concept, it generally just caused us to get mean looks when we told people they probably shouldn't eat it, as it wasn't a sample and had been sitting out for hours. Since it was St. Patrick's Day, we had a giant display of the corned beef and cabbage dinner special, complete with gravy, potatoes, and Irish beer bread.
“由于某些原因,酒吧主管總是喜歡把特薦美食陳列出來(lái)給人看。雖然我懂這是為什么,但這對(duì)于我們(服務(wù)人員)來(lái)說(shuō)真的很麻煩,總是讓我們?cè)闳死溲?,因?yàn)槲覀儽仨毟嬖V顧客這些不是試吃品,而且它們已經(jīng)被放在這里幾小時(shí)了。由于當(dāng)時(shí)是圣帕特里克節(jié),我們擺出了大量的腌牛肉配卷心菜特餐,并且還配有肉汁、土豆和愛(ài)爾蘭啤酒面包。
"As the night was beginning to slow down, I had an older couple sit at the only open seats -- adjacent to our food displays. I was clearing tables and leaned over to let them know I'd be right with them, and a plate slid off the mountain of dishes I was carrying, plopping right into the food display. The 12-hour-old gravy and potatoes somehow still had some fluidity to them, and flew up, then dropped… right into the man's lap.
“隨著當(dāng)晚的高峰期開(kāi)始結(jié)束,我讓一對(duì)老夫婦坐在僅剩的空位上----與我們擺出的食物相鄰。當(dāng)時(shí)我正在清理桌子,但身體也向們傾斜好讓他們知道我馬上會(huì)去他們那里,就在這時(shí),手里堆在最上面的一個(gè)盤子滑落了,正好砸向了陳列出的食物。那保存了十二小時(shí)的肉汁和馬鈴薯不知怎么居然還沒(méi)凝固,濺了起來(lái),而后又掉落,不偏不倚落到了男人的膝蓋上。
"I was horrified and apologizing profusely while trying to set down the mountain of dishes. The man looked up at me and said, 'I just have one thing to tell you.' He slowly leaned in -- at which point I was thinking he was about to spit in my face -- and he said, 'I don't have to fart anymore, you scared it out of me.'
“我頓時(shí)感到了驚駭,一邊放下手里堆積如山的盤子一邊不停地道歉。那個(gè)男人抬頭看了我說(shuō)道,‘我只想告訴你一件事。’他慢慢將身體傾斜------當(dāng)我以為他要向我臉上吐唾沫時(shí)------然后他說(shuō),‘我終于不用再放屁了,你已經(jīng)把它嚇出來(lái)了。”
"It was the laugh I needed that night, and he wouldn't even let me give him a free beer as an apology." -- Belinda Farragut
“于是我開(kāi)懷大笑了起來(lái),而這正是我當(dāng)晚需要的,他甚至不要我給他免費(fèi)的啤酒作為道歉。”------Belinda Farragut
