========================================================================

I will persist until I succeed.堅持不懈。直到成功。

The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.
生命的獎賞遠在旅途終點，而非起點附近。我不知道要走多少步才能達到目標。踏上第一千步的時候，仍然可能遭到失敗。但成功就藏在拐角後面，除非拐了彎，我永遠不知道還有多遠。

Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.
再前進一步，如果沒有用，就再向前一步。事實上，每次進步一點點並不太難。

I will persist until I succeed.
堅持不懈，直到成功。

Henceforth, I will consider each day's effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today.
從今往後，我承認每天的奮斗就像對參天大樹的一次砍擊，頭幾刀可能了無痕跡。每一擊者似微不足道，然而，累積起來，巨樹終會倒下。這恰如我今天的努力。

I will be liken to the raindrop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.
就像沖洗高山的雨滴，吞噬猛虎的螞蟻，照亮大地的星辰，建起金字塔的奴隸，我也要一磚一瓦地建造起自己的城堡，因為我深知水滴石穿的道理，只要持之以恆，什麼都可以做到。

I will persist until I succeed.

堅持不懈，直到成功。

I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will enre. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.
我絕不考慮失敗，我的字典里不再有放棄，不可能、辦不到、沒法子、成問題、失敗，行不通、沒希望、退縮…這類愚蠢的字眼。我要盡量避免絕望，一旦受到它的威脅，立即想方設法向它挑戰。我要辛勤耕耘，忍受苦楚。我放眼未來，勇往直前，不再理會腳下的障礙。我堅信，沙漠盡頭必是綠洲。

I will persist until I succeed.

堅持不懈，直到成功。

I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each failure to sell will increase my chance for success at the next attempt. Each nay I hear will bring me closer to the sound of yea. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow's good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once.

我要牢牢記住古老的平衡法則，鼓勵自己堅持下去，因為每一次的失敗都會增加下一次成功的機會。這一次的拒絕就是下一次的贊同，這一次皺起的眉頭就是下一次舒展的笑容。今天的不幸，往往預示著明天的好運。夜幕降臨。回想一天的遭遇。我總是心存感激。我深知，只有失敗多次，才能成功。

I will persist until I succeed.

堅持不懈，直到成功。

I will try, and try, and try again. Each obstacle I will consider as a mere detour to my goal and a challenge to my profession. I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops his, by learning to ride out the wrath of each storm.

我要嘗試，嘗試，再嘗試。障礙是我成功路上的彎路，我迎接這項挑戰。我要像水手一樣，乘風破浪。

I will persist until I succeed.

堅持不懈，直到成功。

Henceforth, I will learn and apply another secret of those who excel in my work. When each day is ended, not regarding whether it has been a success or a failure, I will attempt to achieve one more sale. When my thoughts beckon my tired body homeward I will resist the temptation to depart. I will try again. I will make one more attempt to close with victory, and if that fails I will make another. Never will I allow any day to end with a failure. Thus will I plant the seed of tomorrow's success and gain an insurmountable advantage over those who cease their labor at a prescribed time. When others cease their struggle, the mine will begin, and my harvest will be full.

從今往後，我要借鑒別人成功的秘訣。過去的是非成敗，我全不計較，只抱定信念，明天會更好。當我精疲力歇時，我要抵制回家的誘惑，再試一次。我一試再試。爭取每一天的成功，避免以失敗收場。我要為明天的成功播種，超過那些按部就班的人。在別人停滯不前時，我繼續拼搏，終有一天我會豐收。「

I will persist until I succeed.

堅持不懈，直到成功。

Nor will I allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life.

我不因昨日的成功而滿足，因為這是失敗的先兆。我要忘卻昨日的一切，是好是壞，都讓它隨風而去。我信心百倍，迎接新的太陽，相信「今天是此生最好的一天」。

So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success; if I persist long enough I will win.

只要我一息尚存，就要堅持到底，因為我已深知成功的秘訣。

I will persist. I will win.

堅持不懈，終會成功。
=========================================================================
One of the most important habits in life is to feed your mind with positive mental food. Remember, you are very susceptible to the suggested influences in your environment, whether radio, television, newspapers, magazines, billboards or conversations with other people. Your mind is your most important and precious asset. You must protect it and keep it clean, clear and focused on what you want, rather than allowing it to be polluted by the negative influences around you.

生活中最重要的習慣之一就是要經常為自己補充積極的精神食糧。要記住，你對周圍的環境非常敏感，無論是收音機、報紙、電視、雜志、廣告或與他人的對話，都會對你產生很大影響。你的心靈是你最重要和珍貴的資產，你必須盡力保護，維持其純凈清明。同時要專注於自己嚮往的事物，不受消極因素的影響。

Refuse to watch terror or trash on television. Refuse to read about all the murders, robberies, rapes and tragedies in the newspapers. Refuse to listen to endless hours of mindless radio commentary on all the problems in the modern world. Refuse to engage in endless conversations with people about all the political and social problems in your nation or community. Keep your mind clean, clear, positive and free.

拒絕收看電視渲染的暴力和色情，拒絕閱讀報紙上有關謀殺、搶劫、強奸的報道，拒絕收音機里滔滔不絕的無意義時事評論，拒絕參與對於政治和社會的無休止辯論。保持你的心靈純凈、清明、積極且自由自在。

Not only do you become what you think about, but also you become what you feed into your mind on a regular basis. If you want to be positive, optimistic and happy, continually feed your mind with positive books and articles, positive audio learning programs, positive input and information from other experts in your field, and positive conversations with other optimistic goal-oriented people who are going somewhere with their lives.

你是自己思想的產物，也是心靈食糧的產物。如果你希望自己積極、樂觀、快樂，必須為自己補充「心靈維他命」，這包括積極的書籍和文章、積極的語音課程節目、專家的專業知識分享，或是經常與樂觀的人溝通對話。

2. 短小的英語經典美文

多少詞算短呀？
Youth

Samuel Ullman

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to st.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being』s heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appetite for what』s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long as you are young.

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

青春

塞繆爾·厄爾曼

人生匆匆，青春不是易逝的一段。青春應是一種永恆的心態。滿臉紅光，嘴唇紅潤，腿腳靈活，這些都不是青春的全部。真正的青春啊，它是一種堅強的意志，是一種想像力的高品位，是感情充沛飽滿，是生命之泉的清澈常新。

青春意味著勇敢戰勝怯懦，青春意味著進取戰勝安逸，年月的輪回就一定導致衰老嗎？要知道呵，老態龍鍾是因為放棄了對真理的追求。

無情歲月的流逝，留下了深深的皺紋，而熱忱的喪失，會在深處打下烙印。焦慮、恐懼、自卑，終會使心情沮喪，意志消亡。

60也罷，16也罷，每個人的心田都應保持著不泯的意志，去探索新鮮的事物，去追求人生樂趣。我們的心中都應有座無線電台，只要不斷地接受來自人類和上帝的美感、希望、勇氣和力量，我們就會永葆青春。倘若你收起天線，使自己的心靈蒙上玩世不恭的霜雪和悲觀厭世的冰凌，即使你年方20，你已垂垂老矣；倘若你已經80高齡，臨於辭世，若豎起天線去收聽樂觀進取的電波，你仍會青春煥發。

Holding the hands of time
牽著時光的手

Blow-off vision of the rain, so that you are left with a brilliant rainbow.Shuttle time in my fingers, without any regrets, open stemmed bloom ripples. Blunt rolling thick liquid eternal, but you and I, were dispersed in which period of Acacia leaves.
吹斷目光的雨，讓虹的光輝帶你離去。時光穿梭在我指間，無悔地綻放開朵朵漣漪。鈍厚的流質綿延永恆，而你我，被沖散在其中，相思無絕期。

Inexplicable always feel like the time within the next few precious memories will be stripped from me, more than once dreamed that his standing in a dark empty space, only one track at the foot stretch into thedistance, such as the long past your time and ultimately disappear In myfield of vision at the end.

總是會莫名地感到時間在抽絲剝繭般的將寶貴的回憶從我身上剝離，不止一次夢見自己站在一片空曠黑暗的空間里，腳下只有一條鐵軌伸向遠方，冗長如過往的光陰，最終消失在我的視野盡頭。

I am afraid to lose, I fear this time, and I love it but memories. I could not forget the sweat on the pitch with the sway of the brothers, forget accompany me cry close friend, and forget the bright Star of that everynight, and those words have touched me deeply.

我害怕失去，我對時間如此的恐懼，而我卻又那麼的熱愛回憶。我忘不了球場上一起揮灑汗水的兄弟，忘不了陪我一起哭泣的知己，忘不了那一夜夜璀璨的星空，和那些令我感動至今的話語。

Those people, those things, such as bursts of light rain in the lake left ring Watermark four dispersed to each other to melt each other's impact; if the horizon is still experiencing Qianwanyinian quiet shining star, notvery bright, but clearly made . - They do not know how much to spend withme ring the day bright and silent night.

那些人，那些事，如細雨在湖面留下的陣陣環型水紋四散開來彼此消融，彼此撞擊;如經歷千萬億年仍在天邊寂靜閃光的星，不甚明亮，卻又清晰無比。——它們陪我度過不知多少明媚的白天與沉默的夜。

In my memory, the third year is not gray, because I remember thoseblessings are not what love is bearing fruit, I still remember holding alot of my friends and I hope to see sunrise and sunset, finally it isyellow everywhere.

在我的記憶中，高三不是灰色的，因為我記得那些不被祝福的愛情是怎樣的開花結果，還記得我與朋友抱著一大堆的希望看日出日落，最後卻是黃花遍地。

Youth is the eye lotus spring, third year is that this eye expansion of bubbling spring season. I, however, a strong smell in the bubble years of the Problem taste. I do not exclude these, but too much pressure to do away much fun. Unfortunately, after the college entrance examination, even the pressure would become the memories, be my third year living memory of the dead evidence. In the time before we are so powerless, the only left on just the eye springs, and we have no regrets of the oath, I hope day after day, year after year, when I re-turn to this page , people still.

青春是眼忘憂泉，高三是這眼泉水膨脹冒泡的季節。而我卻在泡泡里嗅到了濃厚的習題的味道。我並不是排斥這些，但過大的壓力確實帶走了不多的樂趣。只可惜，高考過後，連壓力也會成為回憶，成為我緬懷逝去的高三生活的證據。在時間面前我們是如此的無力，唯一能留下的，就只是那眼泉水和我們曾經無悔的誓言，但願日復一日，年復一年，當我重新翻到這一頁時，人心依舊。

I have seen one another chilling words: Some people say that once you start like the memories of those people will get old. I only admit mature, do not believe they have been growing old. My friends are growing up day by day, and was young and the mature, how can I not had time to grow on the outline of the first to hoary?

曾經看過一句另我毛骨悚然的話：有人說，一旦開始喜歡回憶，那人便老去了。我只承認自己的成熟，不相信自己已經老去。我的朋友們正在一天天地長大，成熟並且風華正茂著，我怎麼可以沒來得及成長就率先蒼老了輪廓?

"Heaven Rain in green and so on, and I am waiting for you, the moonlight was recovered, the faint opened the outcome." Jay melancholy voice has been completely different from the business for the time Sentimental, Bard will be the years the pace of a camel inscribed into the blue and white porcelain in that respect.

「天青色等煙雨，而我在等你，月色被打撈起，暈開了結局。」傑倫憂郁的嗓音已經完全不同與剛出道時的青澀，吟遊詩人般地將歲月的腳步鐫刻進那一尊青花瓷器。

Our future? Friends ah, I will time the other end, waiting for you.

我們的未來呢?朋友啊，我會在時間的另一頭，等你。

the life i desired

我所追求的生活

that must be the story of innumerable couples,and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace.it reminds you of a placid rivulet,meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees,till at last it falls into the vasty sea;but the sea is so calm,so silent,so infifferent,that you are troubled suddently 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 v alue.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 exicitement of unforeseen.

這一定是世間無數對夫妻的生活寫照，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，最後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：我覺得這像大多數人一樣的生活，似乎欠缺了一點兒什麼。我承認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，我願意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘

1、If not to the sun for smiling, warm is still in the sun there, but wewill laugh more confident calm; if turned to found his own shadow, appropriate escape, the sun will be through the heart,warm each place behind the corner; if an outstretched palm cannot fall butterfly, then clenched waving arms, given power; if I can't have bright smile, it will face to the sunshine, and sunshine smile together, in full bloom.

譯文：如果不向太陽索取微笑,溫暖仍在太陽那裡,但我們會笑得更加自信從容；如果轉過身去發現了自己的影子,適當的躲讓,陽光便可穿越心靈,溫暖每一處身後的角落；如果攤開的掌心不能點落蝴蝶,那就緊握成拳揮動臂膀,給予力量；如果我不能夠微笑得燦爛,那就將臉投向燦爛的陽光,與陽光一起微笑,爛漫。

2、When you love who you are,you become a conit of light.Just drop into your heart space,and live life from this view.For all of this doingis not who you are.Listen to your heart』s soft whisper,this voice will show you the way.Live life from your essenceis what she will say.See the light in yourself,and your world will be bright.There is no need to worry,you are exactly as you should be;remember to love who you are,and love you will see.

譯文：當你愛自己的時候，你會成為一道光。只需觸及心房，並遵循本心來生活。做這一切無關你是誰。聆聽內心輕柔的呢喃，她會告訴你方法。遵循本性來生活她會這樣告訴你。欣賞自身的光芒，你的世界都會變得明亮。沒必要擔心，你正是自己本來的模樣；記得愛自己，愛自己欣賞的一切。

4、So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.

譯文：想像一下你就是這個木匠，想像你正在建造這座房子，你每天釘進一顆釘子、安裝一塊板子或者築起一面牆。請用心對待吧，這是唯一一個你為自己打造的生活。即使你只在裡面住上一天，這一天也要活得有光彩、有尊嚴。正如格言所說，「生活是一個只有靠自己才能完成的項目。」

In this round the world, all can learn to use a normal heart to treat all around, is also a kind of realm!

譯文：歲月就象一條河,左岸是無法忘卻的回憶,右岸是值得把握的青春年華,中間飛快流淌的,是年輕隱隱的傷感.世間有許多美好的東西,但真正屬於自己的卻並不多.看庭前花開花落,榮辱不驚,望天上雲卷雲舒,去留無意.在這個紛繞的世界裡,能夠學會用一顆平常的心去對待周圍的一切,也是一種境界!

6、People always confuse about the meaning of happiness, they don』t know how to define it. Some people think that when one has the successful career or does something that makes contribution to the society is the happiness. It is common that great acts are admired by the public and people are easy to feel the happiness. While in my opinion, happiness is very easy to achieve. When I stay with my family, we have the nice talk and I feel very happy. When I eat the delicious food that is cooked by my mother, I feel moved and happy. Happiness is around everywhere, we can feel it if we treat it right.

譯文：人們總是混淆幸福的含義，他們不知道如何定義幸福。有些人認為，當一個人有了成功的事業或做了對社會有所貢獻的事情時，那就是幸福。人們很欣賞偉大的行為，人們很容易感到幸福。在我看來，幸福是很容易實現的。當我和家人在一起時，我們的談話很愉快，我感到非常高興。當我吃媽媽做的美味的食物時，我感到很開心。幸福無處不在，只要我們善待它，我們就能感受到幸福。

7、When I am making mistakes, my parents will never be angry with me. I am so thankful to them for they are so tolerant with me. I learn many things from my parents, they show me how to be a tolerant person. They will not blame me for the small mistake that I make, instead, they will ecate me in the gentle way. Unlike some parents who are strict to their kids, they will be very angry and said the hurting words, making the children feel sad. Being tolerant to other people』s mistakes is the best way to solve the problem. People will appreciate the kind act and make things goes on the easy way.

譯文：當我犯錯誤的時候，我的父母永遠不會生我的氣。我非常感謝他們，因為他們對我很寬容。我從父母那裡學到很多東西，他們教我如何成為一個寬容的人。他們不會因為我犯的一個小錯誤而責備我，相反，他們會以溫和的方式教育我。不像一些對孩子要求嚴格的父母，他們會很生氣，說那些傷人的話，讓孩子們感到悲傷。寬容別人的錯誤是解決問題的最好辦法。人們會欣賞這種善舉，讓事情變得簡單。

8、Sometimes you dream to be a kind of happiness, sometimes the dream is also a kind of happiness; sometimes is a kind of happiness, sometimes the loss is also a kind of happiness;sometimes success is a kind of happiness, sometimes failure is also a kind of happiness. Sometimes the rich is a kind of happiness, sometimes poverty is also a kind of happiness. "Not happy" today, now can not be "happy", while it may be tomorrow or later become "happiness"!

譯文：有時你的夢想達到是一種幸福,有時夢想破滅也是一種幸福；有時得到是一種幸福,有時失去也是一種幸福；有時成功是一種幸福,有時失敗也是一種幸福.有時富有是一種幸福,有時貧窮也是一種幸福.「不幸福」今天或者現在不能成為「幸福」,而明天或者以後卻可能變成「幸福」!
