Youth
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 dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing 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, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
青春
青春不是年華,而是心境;青春不是桃麵、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意誌,恢宏的想象,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,衰微隻及肌膚;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,奇跡之誘惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天線,隻要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號,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;然則隻要樹起天線,捕捉樂觀信號,你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。
If I Rest, I Rust
The significant inscription found on an old key---“If I rest, I rust”---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.
Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.
Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.
Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.
如果我休息,我就會生鏽
在一把舊鑰匙上發現了一則意義深遠的銘文——如果我休息,我就會生鏽。對於那些懶散而煩惱的人來說,這將是至理名言。甚至最為勤勉的人也以此作為警示:如果一個人有才能而不用,就像廢棄鑰匙上的鐵一樣,這些才能就會很快生鏽,並最終無法完成安排給自己的工作。
有些人想取得偉人所獲得並保持的成就,他們就必須不斷運用自身才能,以便開啟知識的大門,即那些通往人類努力探求的各個領域的大門,這些領域包括各種職業:科學,藝術,文學,農業等。)
勤奮使開啟成功寶庫的鑰匙保持光亮。如果休?米勒在采石場勞作一天後,晚上的時光用來休息消遣的話,他就不會成為名垂青史的地質學家。著名數學家愛德蒙?斯通如果閑暇時無所事事,就不會出版數學詞典,也不會發現開啟數學之門的鑰匙。如果蘇格蘭青年弗格森在山坡上放羊時,讓他那思維活躍的大腦處於休息狀態,而不是借助一串珠子計算星星的位置,他就不會成為著名的天文學家。
勞動征服一切。這裏所指的勞動不是斷斷續續的,間歇性的或方向偏差的勞動,而是堅定的,不懈的,方向正確的每日勞動。正如要想擁有自由就要時刻保持警惕一樣,要想取得偉大的,持久的成功,就必須堅持不懈地努力。
Ambition
It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: with out demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity. Competition would never enter in. conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.
Ah, how unrelieved boring life would be!
There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events now not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on one’s own. But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity.
We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.
抱負
一個缺乏抱負的世界將會怎樣,這不難想象。或許,這將是一個更為友善的世界:沒有渴求,沒有磨擦,沒有失望。人們將有時間進行反思。他們所從事的工作將不是為了他們自身,而是為了整個集體。競爭永遠不會介入;衝突將被消除。人們的緊張關係將成為過往雲煙。創造的重壓將得以終結。藝術將不再惹人費神,其功能將純粹為了慶典。人的壽命將會更長,因為由激烈拚爭引起的心髒病和中風所導致的死亡將越來越少。焦慮將會消失。時光流逝,抱負卻早已遠離人心。
啊,長此以往人生將變得多麼乏味無聊!
有一種盛行的觀點認為,成功是一種神話,因此抱負亦屬虛幻。這是不是說實際上並不豐在成功?成就本身就是一場空?與諸多運動和事件的力量相比,男男女女的努力顯得微不足?顯然,並非所有的成功都值得景仰,也並非所有的抱負都值得追求。對值得和不值得的選擇,一個人自然而然很快就能學會。但即使是最為憤世嫉俗的人暗地裏也承認,成功確實存在,成就的意義舉足輕重,而把世上男男女女的所作所為說成是徒勞無功才是真正的無稽之談。認為成功不存在的觀點很可能造成混亂。這種觀點的本意是一筆勾銷所有提高能力的動機,求取業績的興趣和對子孫後代的關注。
我們無法選擇出生,無法選擇父母,無法選擇出生的曆史時期與國家,或是成長的周遭環境。我們大多數人都無法選擇死亡,無法選擇死亡的時間或條件。但是在這些無法選擇之中,我們的確可以選擇自己的生活方式:是勇敢無畏還是膽小怯懦,是光明磊落還是厚顏無恥,是目標堅定還是隨波逐流。我們決定生活中哪些至關重要,哪些微不足道。我們決定,用以顯示我們自身重要性的,不是我們做了什麼,就是我們拒絕做些什麼。但是不論世界對我們所做的選擇和決定有多麼漠不關心,這些選擇和決定終究是我們自己做出的。我們決定,我們選擇。而當我們決定和選擇時,我們的生活便得以形成。最終構築我們命運的就是抱負之所在。

關於英語美文閱讀和欣賞的一千論文
畢業論文的撰寫及答辯考核是順利畢業的重要環節之一,也是衡量畢業生是否達到要求重要依據之一。但是,由於許多應考者缺少係統的課堂授課和平時訓練,往往對畢業論文的獨立寫作感到壓力很大,心中無數,難以下筆。因此,就畢業論文的撰寫進行必要指導,具有重要的意義。
(一)、畢業論文是應考者的總結性獨立作業,目的在於總結學習專業的成果,培養綜合運用所學知識解決實際問題的能力。從文體而言,它也是對某一專業領域的現實問題或理論問題進行科學研究探索的具有一定意義的論說文。完成畢業論文的撰寫可以分兩個步驟,即選擇課題和研究課題。
(二)、選好課題後,接下來的工作就是研究課題,研究課題一般程序是:搜集資料、研究資料,明確論點和選定材料,最後是執筆撰寫、修改定稿。

A Lifelong Career【學習:一生的事業】
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally 戶oung, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
學習之於心靈,就像食物之於身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養食物,我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發達。同樣地,我們應該日複一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力,並擴充我們的智力容量。不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料,來驅使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續的學習是......餘下全文>>

英語美文欣賞的作用論文
按議論的性質不同可以把畢業論文分為立論文和駁論文。立論性的畢業論文是指從正麵闡述論證自己的觀點和主張。一篇論文側重於以立論為主,就屬於立論性論文。立論文要求論點鮮明,論據充分,論證嚴密,以理和事實服人。駁論性畢業論文是指通過反駁別人的論點來樹立自己的論點和主張。如果畢業論文側重於以駁論為主,批駁某些錯誤的觀點、見解、理論,就屬於駁論性畢業論文。駁論文除按立論文對論點、論據、論證的要求以外,還要求針鋒相對,據理力爭。
按研究問題的大小不同可以把畢業論文分為宏觀論文和微觀論文。凡屆國家全局性、帶有普遍性並對局部工作有一定指導意義的論文,稱為宏觀論文。它研究的麵比較寬廣,具有較大範圍的影響。反之,研究局部性、具體問題的論文,是微觀論文。它對具體工作有指導意義,影響的麵窄一些。

你好,你看可以不??
生命中的美好
盡管有很多事讓人憂慮,但相比而言,值得感激的事要多得多。盡管生命的美好有時被蒙上陰影,但它卻永遠不會被埋沒。
For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, kindness and compassion. For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.
相對於每一個無謂的破壞行為而言,都有更多數以千計更為微小的,包含著愛,友善和同情的舉動靜靜地上演著。相對於每一個試圖傷害他人的人而言,都有更多的人致力於幫助他人,治愈他人的創傷。
There is goodness to life that cannot be denied.
In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details, look closely, for that goodness always comes shining through.
生命的美好不能否認。
在最為壯觀的前景和最為瑣碎的細節中,請仔細觀察,因為美好的事物總是散發著耀眼的光芒閃亮登場。
There is no limit to the goodness of life. It grows more abundant with each new encounter. The more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.
生命的美好沒有界限。每一次相遇都會使這美好變得越發豐富。你經曆得越多,越能欣賞生命的美好,生命中的美好就會變得越多。
Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be covered in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives on. Open your eyes, open your heart, and you will see that goodness is everywhere.
即使當寒風襲來,整個世界似乎被霧氣掩蓋之時,生命的美好仍會存在。睜開雙眼,打開心扉,你就會發現這美好無處不在。
Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks, it always endures. For in the darkest moment it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure. And so the goodness of life is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.
盡管生命的美好有時似乎遭受挫折,但它總會挺過來。因為,在最黑暗的時刻,有一點變得格外清楚,那就是,生命是無價的財富。因此,下正是與生命的美好相對立的事物使其越發強大。

英語美文摘抄10篇日記
這個不太容易,不是背與不背的問題。這裏麵存在這一定的文化差異性和邏輯思維上麵的差異性。所以想寫出美妙的英語文章,首先要有相當強硬的英語文章,其次就是對英美文學和語言學以及西方人的邏輯思維有著不錯的了解才行。否則你靠光背一些好聽的英文句子或者用法,那麼按照中國人的邏輯思維看來他是好的,但是站在標準英文文學的角度,他不一定是好的!因為你所謂的好是給中國人看的,換個角度講是個說非英語的看的,而真正你評價你的人是說英語的人。再換個角度理解,你再看原版英文世界名著的時候能讀出你看紅樓夢時的美感嗎?如果不能,證明你離寫出美好的英語文章還差很遠!
