美文赏析:别人是你的一面镜子，请把握好人生中的每一面镜子

　　每天照照镜子，我们都会发现自己不满意的地方，重新把自己打扮得漂漂亮亮的；而人呢？是否也懂得其实每一个人都是一面镜子。看着自己不喜欢的人，要懂得自己要如何更好的完善自己，别让自己也成为大家不喜欢的对象。请把握好人生中的每一面镜子。

　　别人是你的一面镜子

　　The first time you meet someone, in the first moment you form an impression inyour mind of that person. Your reactions to other people, however, are reallyjust barometers for how you perceive yourself. Your reactions to others saymore about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate aboutyourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend todislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate more clearlyyour own feelings of self-worth. Conversely, you can view the people you judgenegatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.

　　To coexist peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A bigchallenge is to shift your perspective radically from judgment of other to alifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions,judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how youcan heal yourself and become whole.

　　I recently has a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable tablemanners. My first reaction was to judge him as offensive and his table mannersas disgusting. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and askedmyself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with

　　someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I wasastonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in therestaurant perceived me.

　　Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shieldagainst you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as offensive does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In thesame way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.

　　When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest grievances as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors,guiding your to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.

英语美文：孤独人生

　　Solitude --Ella Wheeler Wilcox

　　孤独

　　Laugh, and the world laughs with you;

　　Weep, and you weep alone.

　　For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,

　　But has trouble enough of its own.

　　Sing, and the hills will answer;

　　Sigh, it is lost on the air.

　　The echoes bound to a joyful sound,

　　But shrink from voicing care.

　　笑则天下笑，

　　泣则独自泣。

　　因悲哀的旧世界须借贷欢笑，

　　而它自身的麻烦不少。

　　唱则群山应，

　　叹则空散尽。

　　回声反射成欢欣，

　　倾诉忧虑无回音。

　　Rejoice, and men will seek you;

　　Grieve, and they turn and go.

　　They want full measure of all your pleasure,

　　But they do not need your woe.

　　Be glad, and your friends are many;

　　Be sad, and you lose them all.

　　There are none to decline your nectared wine,

　　But alone you must drink life's gall.

　　喜则人寻你，

　　悲则众人离。

　　他们要度量你的欢快，

　　但他们不要你的悲哀。

　　你高兴，朋友会多起来，

　　你悲伤，他们转身走开。

　　无人会拒绝你的佳酿，

　　但你要独自把生活的苦酒品尝。

　　Feast, and your halls are crowded;

　　Fast, and the world goes by.

　　Succeed and give, and it helps you live,

　　But no man can help you die.

　　There is room in the halls of pleasure

　　For a long and lordly train,

　　But one by one we must all file on

　　Through the narrow aisles of pain.

　　设宴，高朋满盈，

　　斋戒，无人问津。

　　成功和慷慨能助你生，

　　但是他人救不了你死。

　　娱乐大厅里有一间房，

　　长长豪华列车停中央，

　　但我们都必须鱼贯上，

　　通过狭长痛苦的走廊。

美文欣赏:Life comes in a package 有种旅行叫作人生

　　人生是一个过程，更像一场旅行。旅行路上，有时风和日丽，有时狂风骤雨；不必畏惧，珍惜沿途的点点滴滴，克服面临的种种困难，用心感受，用心经营，让我们的人生旅程过得更加有意义。

　　Life comes in a package

　　有种旅行叫作人生

　　Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.

　　人生好似一个包裹，这个包裹里藏着快乐与悲伤、成功与失败，希望与绝望。人生也是一个学习的过程。那些经历给我们上了全新的课，让我们变得更好。随着每一天的过去，我们学会了处理各种各样的.问题。

　　Love

　　Love plays a pivotal role on out life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

　　爱

　　爱在生活之外扮演了一个关键的角色。爱使你想要得到些什么。没有爱，一个人将走向不归路，变得凶暴、残忍。在我们最初的人生道路上，我们的父母给予了我们无条件的关爱，他们教会我们判断正确与错误、好与坏。然而我们常常把这想当然了，只有等到我们结了婚并且有了孩子之后，一个人才会懂得并注意别人的感受。孩子让我们变得富有责任心、变得成熟稳重，并且更好的理解人生。

　　Happiness and Sorrow

　　Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.

　　快乐与悲伤

　　物质上的快乐往往是短暂的，然而，当你给予他人一个微笑的时候，那种满足却是无与伦比的。心灵的平静往往是快乐的源泉。没有平和的心态就没有快乐的心情。在伤心的时候，我们往往能够体会到快乐的真谛。悲伤基本都来自于一个爱人的去世、失败还有绝望，但是这样的事情都是暂时的，总会过去的。

　　Failure and Success

　　Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.

　　失败与成功

　　失败是成功之母。它让我们触及蓝天，它教会我们如何生存，它给予我们一条特殊的路。成功给予我们金钱、名誉、骄傲和自尊。这里，保持头脑清醒便显得尤为重要。唯一能让我们感激上帝给予的成功便是始终卑微、谦虚、礼貌并且尊重没有我们幸运的人们。

　　Hope and Despair

　　Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

　　希望与绝望

　　希望是人生动力之源。父母总是希望自己的孩子能够做得很好。希望使我们有梦想。希望使我们变得有耐心。人生教会我们即使是在最困难的时候都不要绝望，因为黑暗之后终将是黎明。没有什么事一成不变的，我们惟有充满希望地继续生活。

　　Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better

　　tomorrow.

　　人生教会我们不要对过去的事感到后悔，因为过去的终究是过去了并且我们已无法控制。没人知道明天会是怎样，因为它可以是光明的同样也可以是无趣的。所以，唯一的选择便是在今天努力工作，这样才能让我们去享受更美好的明天。
