Hour in the Sun

John H.Bradley

"…I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days."----- Henry David Thoreau

阳光下的时光

“……我虽然不富甲天下，却拥有无数个艳阳天和夏日。”----亨利大卫梭罗

When Thoreau wrote that line, he was thinking of the Walden Pond he knew as a boy.

写这句话时，梭罗想起孩提时代的瓦尔登湖。

Woodchoppers and the Iron Horse had not yet greatly damaged the beauty of its setting. A boy could go to the pond and lie on his back against the seat of a boat, lazily drifting from shore to shore while the loons dived and the swallows dipped around him. Thoreau loved to recall such sunny hours and summer days "when idleness was the most attractive and productive business."

当时伐木者和火车尚未严重破坏湖畔的美丽景致。小男孩可以走向湖中，仰卧小舟。自一岸缓缓漂向另一岸，周遭有鸟儿戏水，燕子翻飞。梭罗喜欢回忆这样的艳阳天和夏日，“慵懒是最迷人也是最具生产力的事情！”

I too was a boy in love with a pond, rich in sunny hours and summer days. Sun and summer are still what they always were, but the boy and the pond changed. The boy, who is now a man, no longer find much time for idle drifting. The pond has been annexed by a great city.

我也曾经是热爱湖塘的小男孩，拥有无数个艳阳天与夏日。如今阳光、夏日依旧，男孩和湖塘却已改变。那男孩已长大成人，不再有那么多时间泛舟湖上。而湖塘也为大城市所并。

The swamps where herons once hunted are now drained and filled with houses. The bay where water lilies quietly floated is now a harbor for motor boats. In short, everything that the boy loved no longer exists----except in the mans memory of it.

曾有苍鹭觅食的沼泽，如今已枯竭殆尽，上面盖满了房舍。睡莲静静漂浮的湖湾，现在成了汽艇的避风港。总之，男孩所爱的一切已不复存在----只留在人们的回忆中。

Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.

有些人坚持认为只有今日和明日才是重要的，可是如果真的照此生活，我们将是何其可怜！许多今日我们做的事徒劳不足取的，很快就会被忘记。许多我们期待明天将要做的事却从来没有发生过。

The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives.

过去是一所银行。我们将最可贵的财产---记忆珍藏其中。记忆赐予我们生命的意义和深度。

Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days, because days enshrined in memory are never lost.

真正珍惜过去的人，不会悲叹旧日美好时光的逝去。因为藏于记忆中的时光永不流失。

Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quiet hour in the sun.

死亡本身无法止住一个记忆中的声音，或擦除一个记忆中的微笑。对现已长大成人的那个男孩来说，那儿将有一个湖塘不会因时间和潮汐而改变，可以让他继续在阳光下享受安静时光。

[英语作文欣赏：阳光下的时光

卓别林小的时候,有一年圣诞节学校组织合唱团，卓别林却落选了，他很沮丧。一天在班上,卓别林背诵了一段喜剧歌词，博得了大家的喝彩。老师说:“虽然你唱得不好,但表演很有幽默的天分。”

后来,父亲早逝,母亲患上严重的精神病。为了生计,卓别林四处到剧院打听，希望能演上一个角色。一天，伦敦一家剧院要上演一出戏，剧院老板答应让卓别林演一个孩子的角色。演出并不成功，《伦敦热带时报》在批评该剧的同时却说:“幸而有一个角色弥补了该剧的缺点,那就是报童桑米。以前我们不曾听说过这个孩子,但可以预见,在不久的将来定会看到他不凡的成就。”

后来,年轻的卓别林获得了一个去美国演出的机会。不巧的是，这次演出没有引起任何轰动，然而美国的《剧艺报》在谈到卓别林时说:“那个剧团里至少有一个很能逗笑的英国人，他总有一天会让美国人倾倒的。”

多年后,卓别林终于成为享誉世界的艺术家。我想，除了天才与勤奋之外，他的成功与年轻时候宽厚的社会氛围是分不开的。

对于一个人一生的成长来说，欣赏是另一种必要的阳光。这一缕纤细的阳光，能使将要跌入生活暗处的人，及时得到一丝光亮的指引，获得前进的勇气，看到走向成功的希望，从而最终引领他走到明媚的未来。而实际上，做到欣赏又是那么容易，只要在他们最需要的时候，能有一句肯定的话就足够了。

星期日下午，上作文补习课时，李老师神秘地对我们说：“现在世界上有许多伟大的科学家、军事家、画家、作家等等，他们都很忙，今天我给你们带来了他们小时候的照片，就在讲台的小包里了，你们要遵守秩序，一个个地上来看，看过的同学回到坐位上不可以和其他同学交谈。 活动开始了，第一个上台的是李东，他高高兴兴地来到讲台，小心翼翼地打开小包，向里看了一眼，又看了一眼，我发现他的脸上写着一个大大地“问号”。然后回到了座位上，静静地沉思起来。接着同学们陆续地走上讲台，其中李琳非常有意思，她兴冲冲地跑到讲台，在包里找来找去，找了好一会，下面的同学急得站了起来喊：快下来吧，我们还等着上去呢！她对同学们扮了个鬼脸后，才恋恋不舍地跑了回来。最后一个才轮到我，我快步走上讲台，在包里左翻翻、右翻翻、上翻翻、下翻翻也没找到什么名人的照片，只发现了一面小镜子和一些书本。

我失望地回到坐位上心想：老师难道存心捉弄我们不成。这时李老师问：“谁找到照片了？”宋佳说“我找到了，就是那面镜子，我从镜子里看到了自己，那就是照片。”这时同学们恍然大悟，我想宋佳可真聪明啊！李老师说：“我们今天做这个活动，不仅仅是让你们写一次活动的作文，还想让你们从中学到善于观察和思考，并树立远大的理想，长大了成为杰出的人才，我相信只要通过努力，未来的你们都能成为对社会有用的人！” 这次活动不仅很有意思，而且更有意义。让我受益非浅，我相信我们的未来都不是梦！

人生最精彩的不是成功的那一瞬间，而是回头看，那段漆黑看似没有尽头、苦苦摸索的过程。下面小编为您分享英语名人名言警句，欢迎欣赏!

There is no current proof that advancing technology will deteriorate the ability of humans to think. On the contrary, advancements in technology had advanced our vast knowledge in many fields, opening opportunities for further understanding and achievement. For example, the problem of dibilitating illnesses and diseases such as alzheimers disease is slowing being solved by the technological advancements in stem cell research. The future ability of growing new brain cells and the possibility to reverse the onset of alzheimers is now becoming a reality. This shows our initiative as humans to better our health demonstrates greater ability of humans to think.

One aspect where the ability of humans may initially be seen as an example of deteriorating minds is the use of internet and cell phones. In the past humans had to seek out information in many different enviroments and aspects of life. Now humans can sit in a chair and type anything into a computer and get an answer. Our reliance on this type of technology can be detrimental if not regulated and regularily substituted for other information sources such as human interactions and hands on learning. I think if humans understand that we should not have such a reliance on computer technology, that we as a species will advance further by utilizing the opportunity of computer technology as well as the other sources of information outside of a computer. Supplementing our knowledge with internet access is surely a way for technology to solve problems while continually advancing the human race.

华罗庚小时候，他的父亲开小杂货铺，家里穷得很。华罗庚一生下来就被装进一个箩筐里，顶上又盖一只箩筐。老人说这样可避邪消灾，所以给孩子起名为罗庚，很有些吉祥如意的意思。

华罗庚上学期间，并不是一个循规蹈矩的孩子，常常独出心裁，我行我素。而且把作业乱改一通，但这些并不能掩盖他的天资聪慧。华罗庚的数学天才大大超过了他的同学们。他上初中二年级时，教数学课的是法国留学生王维克。有一次王老师在课堂上提出一个有趣的问题：今有物不知其几，三三数之剩二，五五数之剩三，七七数之剩二，问物几何?过了好半天，竟没有一个学生能回答。王老师用眼扫视全班时，大部分学生都低着头，恐怕被老师喊起来回答。只有一个学生在桌上用笔紧张地算着。过了一会儿，这个学生果然举手要求回答了。他大声说：是二十三。王老师问：大家说他回答的对不对?教室里又是一片沉寂，同学们只是惊奇地看着站起来的那个学生，他就是很不起眼的华罗庚。王老师说：他答对了。接着老师告诉大家，这是我国古代算学经典之作的《孙子算经》里的一道名题。

在楚汉之争中，汉王刘邦的大将韩信，还用这个方法点兵呢!西方数家尊称它为孙子定理。王老师一再表扬华罗庚是个好学的孩子，前途不可限量。从此，同学们对华罗庚刮目相看了。其实，这年才刚满14岁的华罗庚，根本没看过《孙子算经》。他完全是靠动脑筋，凭聪明才智计算出来的。王维克发现华罗庚是个数学天才后，不断地鼓励他、帮助他，一步一步把他领入数学王国。经过许多年的勤奋努力，他进了清华大学，又去了英国剑桥大学进修。华罗庚终于成了一名自学成材的大数学家，在国际上也很有影响。

Some people are born with the belief that they are masters of their own lives. Others feel they are at the mercy of fate.New research shows that part of those feelings are in the genes.

Psychologists have long known that people confident in their ability to control their destinies are more likely to adjust well to growing old than those who feel that they drift on the currents of fate.

Two researchers who questioned hundreds of Swedish twins report that such confidence, or lark of it, is partly genetic and partly drawn from experience.

They also found that the belief in blind luck-a conviction that coincidence plays a big role in life is something learned in life and has nothing to do with heredity.

The research was conducted at the Karolinska Institute-better known as the body that annually awards the Nobel Prize for medicine by Nancy Pedersen of the Institute and Margaret Gatz, a professor of psychology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Their results were recently published in the United States in the Journal of Gerontology.

People who are confident of their ability to control their lives have an "internal locus of control,"and have a better chance of being well adjusted in their old age, said Pedersen.

An "external locus of control," believing that outside forces determine the course of life, has been linked to depression in latter years, she said.

"We are trying to understand what makes people different. What makes some people age gracefully and others have a more difficult time?" she said.

The study showed that while people have an inborn predilection toward independence and self-confidence, about 70 percent of this personality trait is affected by a persons environment and lifetime experiences.

Pedersens studies, with various collaborators, probe the aging process by comparing sets of twins, both identical and fraternal, many of whom were separated at an early age.

The subjects were drawn from a roster first compiled about 30 years ago registering all twins born in Sweden since 1886. The complete list, which was extended in 1971, has 95,000 sets of twins.

Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion---like stress, anger, or frustration.What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?

想下你最近一次感受到的消极情绪，例如压力，愤怒或挫折。当你处于那种消极情绪时你在想些什么?是充满了混乱的思绪?还是陷于麻木，无法思考?

The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.

下次当你发现自己处于非常紧张的状态时，或是你感到气愤或受挫时，停下来。是的，对，停下来。不管你在做什么，停下来坐上一分钟。坐着的时候，让自己完全沉浸在那种消极情绪之中。

Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute---but only one minute---to do nothing else but feel that emotion.

让那种消极情绪吞噬你，给自己一分钟的时间去真切地体会那种情绪，不要欺骗自己。花整整一分钟的时间 – 但只有一分钟 – 去体会那种情绪，别的什么也不要做。

When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I wiling to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”

当一分钟结束时，问自己：“我是否想在今天余下的时间里继续保持这种消极情绪?”

Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really fell it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.

一旦你允许自己完全沉浸在那种情绪当中并真切体会到它，你就会惊奇地发现那种情绪很快就消失了。

If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.

如果你觉得还需要点时间来保持那种情绪，没关系，再给自己一分钟的时间去体会它。

When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.

如果你觉得自己已经充分体会了那种情绪，那就问自己是否愿意在今天余下的时间里继续保持这种消极情绪。如果不愿意，那就深呼吸。呼气的时候，把所有的消极情绪都释放出去。

This exercise seems simple---almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.

这个方法似乎很简单 – 几乎是太过简单了，但却非常有效。通过给自己空间真正体会消极情绪，你是在处理这种情绪，而不是将其压制下去然后尽量不加理会。通过给予消极情绪所需的空间和关注，你实际上是在消解其力量。当你沉浸在那种情绪之中，并且明白它只是一种情绪时，你就摆脱了它的控制。你可以清理头脑并继续做事。

Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens. Keep a piece of paper with you that says the following:

Stop. Immerse for one minute. Do I want to keep this negativity? Breath deep, exhale, release. Move on!

你下次笼罩消极情绪时，试一下这种做法，给自己一点空间来体会那种情绪并看看会发生什么。随身带一张写着如下字句的纸条：

停下来。沉浸一分钟。我想保持这种消极情绪吗?深吸气，呼气，放松。继续做事!

This will remind you of the steps to the process. Remember; take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion. Then, when you feel you’ve felt it enough, release it---really let go of it. You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!

这会提醒你该怎样去做。记住，要花你所需要的时间去真正沉浸于那种情绪之中。然后，当你感到自己已经充分体会到了它。你会惊奇地发现，你很快就能摆脱消极情绪，并开始做你真正想做的事情!

Good morning, class. Before we begin today, I would like to address an issue that one of you reminded me of after the last lecture. As you may recall, last time I mentioned that Robert E. Pierre was the first person to reach the North Pole. What I neglected to mention was the controversy around Pierres pioneering accomplishment. In 1910, a committee of the national geographical society examined Comeydore Pierres claim to have reached the North Pole on April 6th 1909 and found no reason to doubt him. This judgment was actually confirmed by a committee of the US congress in 1911. Nevertheless, Pierres claim was surrounded by controversy. This was largely due to the competing claim of Doctor Frederic Cook who told the world he had reached the Pole a four-year earlier. Over the decades Pierre was given the benefit of the doubt, but critics persisted in raising questions about his navigation and the distances he claimed to have covered. So the Navigation Foundation spent an additional 12 months of exhaustive examination of documents relating to Pierres polar expedition. The documents supported Pierres claims about the distances he covered. After also conducting an extensive computer analysis of photos taken by Pierre at the pole, they concluded that Pierre and his companions did in fact reach the near vicinity of the North Pole on April 6th, 1909. OK, today were going to talk about exploration of the opposite end of the world. I assume you all read chapter 3 in our text and are now familiar with the names: Emerson and Scott.

[英语作文欣赏： Emerson and Scott.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:"We hold these truths to be self-evident:that all men are created equal."

Mr.Kings dream of all men created equal is mine too.When I hear his speech,I come to know thatI have the same dream that people should work together and live together like brothers.Nobody will take advantage of others,with less work but more income.But no,Mr Kings dream remains as a dream even after so many decades since he left us.Look,people who have more houses want to keep them all for themselves,although there are so many people who do not even have a room to stay in.On the other hand,many people ,who have nothing,do not want to work harder to earn something on their own.They just complain that all men are not created equal.

So,if we look close at human beings,we will realize that Mr.Kings dream will be a dream for a long,long time.Still,I admire him because at least he has a great dream,which is leading many people to treat others better.

莫言的名人故事

这家伙从出生起，就吃不饱，赶上大多数中国人饿得半死的年代。每逢开饭，他匆匆把自己那份吃完，就盯着别人的碗号啕大哭，一边哭，一边公然地抢夺堂姐碗中的那份食物，抢得双泪长流。 那是1960年的春天，能吃的东西似乎都吃光了。草根、树皮、房檐上的草。有这家伙从出生起，就吃不饱，赶上大多数中国人饿得半死的年代。每逢开饭，他匆匆把自己那份吃完，就盯着别人的碗号啕大哭，一边哭，一边公然地抢夺堂姐碗中的那份食物，抢得双泪长流。

那是1960年的春天，能吃的东西似乎都吃光了。草根、树皮、房檐上的草。有一次学校拖来了一车好煤，他拿起一块就放在嘴里嚼，同学们也跟着一起嚼，都说越嚼越香。一上课，老师在黑板上写，他们就在下边嚼煤，咯咯嘣嘣一片响，全都一嘴乌黑。

1976年，他当了兵，从此和饥饿道了别。从新兵连分到新单位时，精粉的小馒头，他一次就吃了8个，肚子里还有空，但不好意思再吃了。炊事员对食堂管理员说：坏了，来了大肚汉了。

后来，日子好过了，一上宴席，他却仍是迫不及待地，生怕捞不到似地吃。好多朋友攻击他，说他吃起饭来奋不顾身，埋头苦干，好像狼一样。

他一次一次牢牢记着，少吃，慢吃，吃时嘴巴不响，眼光不恶，夹菜时只夹一根菜或一根豆芽，像小鸟一样。他也想痛改前非，但一见到好吃的，立刻便恢复原样。每当他从电视上看到鳄鱼一边吞食一边流泪的可恶样子，马上就联想到自己。

当然，仅仅有饥饿的体验，并不一定就能成为作家，他能成为一个作家，是因为有个右派大学生说他认识一个作家，写了一本书，得了成千上万的稿费。听说作家每天吃三顿饺子，而且还是肥肉馅儿的，咬一口，那些肥油就地往外冒。

他不相信天下竟有富贵到每天都可以吃三顿饺子的人，但大学生用蔑视的口吻对他说：人家是作家！懂不懂？作家！

从此，他就知道了，只要当了作家，就可以每天吃三次饺子，而且是肥肉馅儿。那时，他就下定了决心，长大后一定要当一个作家。

他，就是著名作家莫言。
