  經典英語美文閱讀:生命在於完整

Once a circle missed a circle wanted to be whole,so it went around looking for its missing because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly,it admired the flowers along the chatted with enjoyed the found lots of different pieces,but none of them it left them all by the side of the road and kept on one day the circle found a piece that fit was so it could be whole,with nothing incorporated the missingpiece into itself and began to that it was a perfect circle,it could roll very fast,too fast tonotice the flowers or talking to the it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly,it stopped,left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

The lesson of the story,I suggested,was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are man who has everything is in some ways a poor will never know what it feels like to yearn,to hope,to nourish his soul with the dream of something will never know the experience ofhaving someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had.

There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations,who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing e is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive,who can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.

Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for is not a spelling bee,where no matter how many words you've gotten right,you're disqualified if you make one ismore like a baseball season,where even the best team loses one-third of its games and even the worst team has its days of goal is to win more games than we lose.

When we accept that imperfection is part of being human,and when we can continue rolling through life andappreciate it,we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only aspire ,I believe,is what God asks of us not "Be perfect",not "Don't even make a mistake",but "Be whole."

If we are brave enough to love,strong enough to forgive,generous enough to rejoice in another's happiness,and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all,then we can achieve a fulfillmentthat no other living creature will ever know.

從前有一隻圓圈缺了一塊楔子。圓圈想保持完整,便四處尋找失去的那塊楔子。由於它不完整,所以只能滾動很慢。一路上,它對花兒露出羨慕之色。它與蠕蟲談天侃地。它還欣賞到了陽光之美。圓圈找到了許許多多不同的配件,但是沒有一件能完美地與它相配。所以,它將它們統統棄置路旁,繼續尋覓。終於有一天,它找到了一個完美的配件。圓圈是那樣地高興,現在它可以說是完美無缺了。它裝好配件,然後滾動起來。既然它已成了一個完整的圓圈,所以滾動得非常快,快得以至於無暇觀賞花兒,也無暇與蠕蟲傾訴心聲。圓圈快奔急騁,發現眼中的世界變得如此不同,於是,它不禁停了下來,將找到的那個配件留在路旁,又開始了慢慢地滾動。

我覺得這個故事告訴我們,從某種奇妙意義上講,當我們失去了一些東西時反而感到更加完整。一個擁有一切的人其實在某些方面是個窮人。他永遠也體會不到什麼是渴望、期待以及對美好夢想的感悟。他也永遠不會有這樣一種體驗:一個愛他的人送給他某種他夢寐以求的或者從未擁有過的東西意味什麼。

人生的完整性在於一個人知道如何面對他的缺陷,如何勇敢地摒棄那些不現實的幻想而又不以此為缺憾。人生的完整性還在於一個男人或女人懂得這樣一個道理:他(她)發現自己能勇敢面對人生悲劇而繼續生存,能夠在失去親人後依然表現出一個完整的人的'風範。

人生不是上帝為譴責我們的缺陷而給我們佈下的陷阱。人生也不是一場拼字遊戲比賽。不管你拼出多少單詞,一旦出現了一個錯誤,你便前功盡棄。人生更像是一個棒球賽季。即使最好的球隊比賽也會輸掉1/3,而最差的球隊也有春風得意的日子。我們的目標就是多贏球,少輸球。

我們接受了不完整性是人類本性的一部分,我們不斷地進行人生滾動並能意識到其價值,我們就會完成完整人生的過程。而對於別人來講,這隻能是一個夢想。我相信這就是上帝對我們的要求:不求"完美",也不求"永不犯錯誤",而是求得人生的"完整".

如果我們勇敢得能夠去愛,堅強得能夠去寬容,大度得能夠去分享他人的幸福,明智得能夠理解身邊充滿愛,那麼我們就能取得別的生物所不能取得的成就。

  經典英語美文閱讀:Home

What makes a home? Love and sympathy andconfidence.

It is a place where kindly affections exist among allthe members of the family. The parents take goodcare of their children, and the children are interestedin the activities of their parents. Thus all of them arebound together by affection, and they find their home to be the cheeriest place in the world.

A home without love is no more a home than a body without a soul is a man. Every civilizedperson is a social one should live alone. A man may lead a successful and prosperouslife,but prosperity alone can by no means insure happiness.

Many great personages in the world history had deep affections for their homes. Your homemay be poor and humble, but your duty lies there. You should try to make it cheerful andcomfortable. The greater the difficulties, the richer will be your reward. A home is more than afamily dwelling. It is a school in which people are trained for citizenship. A man will not rendergood service to his country if he can do nothing good for his home; for in proportion as heloves his home, will he love his country. The home is the birthplace of true patriotism. It is thesecret of social welfare and national greatness. It is the basis and origin of civilization.

什麼組成了家庭?是愛、同情和信心。

在家裡,所有的家庭成員都充滿了愛意。父母細心照顧自己的孩子,同時,孩子也全身心地投入到與父母的活動當中。所有的家庭成員因為愛而連線在了一起,他們把家當做是世界上最溫馨的地方。

就像沒有靈魂的身體,沒有愛的家不再稱之為家。每一名有文化的人都是社會的一份子。沒有人會獨自生活。人們或許會擁有成功、富裕的人生,但是隻有財富卻不能夠保證幸福。

世界上的許多名人都對家庭有著深切的感情。你的家可能會很貧窮,但是你卻肩負重任。你應該嘗試著讓它變得更加愉悅,變得更加舒適。困難越大,你的收穫也將越多。家庭遠遠不只是家人棲息的場所。家庭就像是一所學校,在裡面的人們接受培訓併成為公民。如果一個人不能給家庭帶來好處,那麼他也將不會盡心盡力地的國家效力,如果他深愛他的家庭,那麼他也將深愛他的國家。家庭是愛國主義的誕生地。家庭是社會福利和國家強盛的祕訣。家庭也是文化的源泉。

  經典英語美文閱讀:Youth

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it isnot a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips andsuppleknees; it is a matter of the will, a quality ofthe imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is thefreshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a tempera-mental predominance ofcourage over timidity, of the appetite foradventure over thelove of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of dy 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 spring back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailingchildlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heartand 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 are you young.

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

青春

青春不是年華,而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹脣、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,恢巨集的想象,炙熱的戀情;青春是生命的深泉在湧流。

青春氣貫長虹,勇銳蓋過怯弱,進取壓倒苟安。如此銳氣,二十後生而有之,六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加,並非垂老,理想丟棄,方墮暮年。

歲月悠悠,衰微只及肌膚;熱忱拋卻,頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩,惶恐,喪失自信,定使心靈扭曲,意氣如灰。

無論年屆花甲,擬或二八芳齡,心中皆有生命之歡樂,奇蹟之誘惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺天線,只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的訊號,你就青春永駐,風華常存。

一旦天線下降,銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋,玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生,即使年方二十,實已垂垂老矣;然則只要樹起天線,捕捉樂觀訊號,你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。
