篇1:海伦凯勒英语故事

全文共 5090 字

+ 加入清单

In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died. She survived but the fever left its mark she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.

1882年,一名女婴因高发烧差点丧命。她虽幸免于难,但发烧给她留下了后遗症 她再也看不见、听不见。因为听不见,她想讲话也变得很困难。

So how did this child, blinded and deafened at 19 months old, grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?

那么这样一个在19个月时就既盲又聋的孩子,是如何成长为享誉世界的作家和演说家的呢?

The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving her of sight and sound. It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cell from which there could be no release.

高烧将她与外界隔开,使她失去了视力和声音。她仿佛置身在黑暗的牢笼中无法摆脱。

Luckily Helen was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She followed her mother wherever she went, hanging onto her skirts, She touched and smelled everything she came across. She copied their actions and was soon able to do certain jobs herself, like milking the cows or kneading dough, She even learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes. She could also tell where she was in the garden by the smell of the different plants and the feel of the ground under her feet.

万幸的是海伦并不是个轻易认输的人。不久她就开始利用其它的感官来探查这个世界了。她跟着母亲,拉着母亲的衣角,形影不离。她去触摸,去嗅各种她碰到的物品。她模仿别人的动作且很快就能自己做一些事情,例如挤牛奶或揉面。她甚至学会*摸别人的脸或衣服来识别对方。她还能*闻不同的植物和触摸地面来辨别自己在花园的位置。

By the age of seven she had invented over 60 different signs by which she could talk to her family, If she wanted bread for example, she would pretend to cut a loaf and butter the slices. If she wanted ice cream she wrapped her arms around herself and pretended to shiver.

七岁的时候她发明了60多种不同的手势,*此得以和家里人交流。比如她若想要面包,就会做出切面包和涂黄油的动作。想要冰淇淋时她会用手裹住自己装出发抖的样子。

Helen was unusual in that she was extremely intelligent and also remarkably sensitive. By her own efforts she had managed to make some sense of an alien and confusing world. But even so she had limitations.

海伦在这方面非比一般,她绝顶的聪明又相当敏感。通过努力她对这个陌生且迷惑的世界有了一些知识。但她仍有一些有足。

At the age of five Helen began to realize she was different from other people. She noticed that her family did not use signs like she did but talked with their mouths. Sometimes she stood between two people and touched their lips. She could not understand what they said and she could not make any meaningful sounds herself. She wanted to talk but no matter how she tried she could not make herself understood. This make her so angry that she used to hurl herself around the room, kicking and screaming in frustration.   海伦五岁时开始意识到她与别人不同。她发现家里的其他人不用象她那样做手势而是用嘴交谈。有时她站在两人中间触摸他们的嘴唇。她不知道他们在说什么,而她自己不能发出带有含义的声音。她想讲话,可无论费多大的劲儿也无法使别人明白自己。这使她异常懊恼以至于常常在屋子里乱跑乱撞,灰心地又踢又喊。

As she got older her frustration grew and her rages became worse and worse. She became wild and unruly . If she didnt get what she wanted she would throw tantrums until her family gave in. Her favourite tricks included grabbing other peoples food from their plates and hurling fragile objects to the floor. Once she even managed to lock her mother into the pantry. Eventually it became clear that something had to be done. So, just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor Anne Sullivan.

随着年龄的增长她的怒气越为越大。她变得狂野不驯。倘若她得不到想要的东西就会大发脾气直到家人顺从。她惯用的手段包括抓别人盘里的食物以及将易碎的东西猛扔在地。有一次她甚至将母亲锁在厨房里。这样一来就得想个办法了。于是,在她快到七岁生日时,家里便雇了一名家庭教师 安尼沙利文。

Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read peoples lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.

安尼悉心地教授海伦,特别是她感兴趣的东西。这样海伦变得温和了而且很快学会了用布莱叶盲文朗读和写作。*用手指接触说话人的嘴唇去感受运动和震动,她又学会了触唇意识。这种方法被称作泰德马,是一种很少有人掌握的技能。她也学会了讲话,这对失聪的人来说是个巨大的成就。

Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honours from Radcliffe College in 1904. She had phenomenal powers of concentration and memory, as well as a dogged determination to succeed. While she was still at college she wrote ‘The Story of My Life. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.

海伦证明了自己是个出色的学者,1904年她以优异的成绩从拉德克利夫学院毕业。她有惊人的注意力和记忆力,同时她还具有不达目的誓不罢休的毅力。上大学时她就写了《我的生命》。这使她取得了巨大的成功从而有能力为自己购买一套住房。

She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Eventually she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honours from foreign universities and monarchs. In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.

她周游全国,不断地举行讲座。她的事迹为许多人著书立说而且还上演了关于她的生平的戏剧和电影。最终她声名显赫,应邀出国并受到外国大学和国王授予的荣誉。1932年,她成为英国皇家国立盲人学院的副校长。

After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.

1968年她去世后,一个以她的名字命名的组织建立起来,该组织旨在与发展中国家存在的失明缺陷做斗争。如今这所机构,“国际海伦凯勒”,是海外向盲人提供帮助的最大组织之一。

One day, a colt carried a bag of wheat to the mill.

As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. Water went gurgling on. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Uncle Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" the cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just to his knees.

The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! Youll be drowned! One of my friends was drowned yesterday just in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.

He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, dont always listen to others. Youd better go and try yourself. Then youll know what to do."

Just at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, its too dangerous!" "No, I want to have a try by myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully. On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as as deep as the squirrel told him.

The fable tells us a truth: real knowledge comes from practices.

一天, 老让小马驮着半口袋麦子到磨坊去磨面。

小马驮着口袋朝着磨坊跑去。忽然,一天小河挡住了去路,河水哗哗地流着。小马为难了,怎么办呢?它向四周望了望,看见一头老牛在河边吃草。小马问道:“牛伯伯,请您告诉我,这条河我能趟过去吗?”老牛说:“能。谁很浅,刚没小腿。”

小马听了老牛的话,正准备过河,突然丛树上跳下一只松鼠,拦住它大叫道:“小马,别过河!河水会把你淹死的。昨天,我的一个伙伴就是掉到这条河里淹死的!”小马不知如何是好,决定回家问妈妈。

小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说:“孩子,光听别人说是不行的,你自己亲自去试一试,就知道答案了。”

小马回到河边,刚要下水,松鼠又大叫起来:“小马,你不要命啦?”小马说:“让我试试吧。”它一面回答一面下了河,小心地趟了过去。原来河水既不像老牛说的那样浅也不像松鼠说的那样深。

这则寓言告诉我们:实践出真知。

篇7:英语故事:丑小鸭

全文共 6508 字

乡村真美。此时正值夏季,田里的小麦都呈现金黄色而燕麦依然青绿。干草被堆放在低洼的草地上,广阔的树林围绕着

田野和草地,树林的中央有多处深邃的湖泊,在阳光最充足的地方矗立着一栋老旧的大宅邸。这栋宅邸被一条深长的壕沟所包围,茂盛的

叶子从这栋房子干部上的藤蔓往下长,延伸到河水的边缘。其中有一些叶子很大,小孩子可以拿它们来当雨伞。

在森林的深处有一只母鸭子坐在她的巢中,她的小鸭子们即将孵出来。

终于蛋一个接一个地开始裂了。 “吱,吱!”小鸭们叫着。“呱,呱!”母鸭回道。“这个世界好大啊!”小鸭子异口同声道。

The countryside was lovely. It was summer. The wheat was golden and the oats were still

green. The hay was stacked in the low-lying meadows. There lay great woods around the fields and meadows.

There were deep lakes in the midst of the woods. In the sunniest spot stood an old mansion surrounded by a deep moat.

Great leaves grew from the vines on the walls of the house right down to the waters edge.

Some of the leaves were so big that a child could use them as an umbrella.

In the depths of a forest a duck was sitting in her nest. Her little ducklings were about to be hatched.

At last one egg after another began to crack." Cheep, cheep!" the ducklings said." Quack, quack!" said the duck.

" How big the world is!" said all the young ones.

但最大的蛋依旧在那儿,于是她又再坐回她的巢中。

一只年长的鸭子过来拜访她说:“喂!你近来可好吗?”坐着的母鸭回答说:“这枚蛋花了很长的时间,

壳偏偏还不裂开,不过其他的小鸭都是最完美的鸭子,他们很像他们的爸爸。”

年长的鸭子说:“让我看看那枚不会裂开的蛋,你或许是坐在一枚火鸡的蛋上!我曾经像那样被骗过一次。不错,那是火鸡的蛋!

你最好不要管它,去教其它的小鸭游泳吧。”

“我要再多坐一会儿。”

But the biggest egg was still there. And then she settled herself on the nest again.

"Well, how are you getting on?" said an old duck who came to pay her a visit." This egg is taking such a long time," answered the sitting duck."

The shell will not crack, but the others are the finest ducklings. They are like their father."

"let me look at the egg which wont crack," said the old duck." You may be sitting on a turkeys egg!

I have been cheated like that once. Yes. its a turkeys egg!

You had better leave it alone and teach the other children to swim."

"I will sit on it a little longer."

终于这枚巨蛋裂开了。这小子可真是又大又丑!她说:“那是一只非常巨大的鸭子,其他的小鸭没有一只看起来像他一样。

他会是火鸡的孩子吗?我会尽快查清楚,我将叫他下水去。”

隔天这只母鸭带着她的一家人走到壕沟。

她跳入水中,“呱,呱,”她说,小鸭们一只接一只地跳进河里。

这只又大又丑的鸭子跟着他们一起游来游去,她说:“不是的,那不是火鸡。呱,呱!现在跟我来,我将带你们去参观这个世界,

要一直靠近我并小心猫!”第一天过去了,一切都还顺利。

At last the big egg cracked. How big and ugly the baby was! " That is a very big duckling." she said,

" None of the others look like that. Can he be a turkeys chick?

I will soon find out. I will make him go into water."

The next day the mother duck with her family went down to the moat. She said, and one duckling jumped in after another.

The big ugly one swam about with them." No, that is no turkey," she said," Quack, quack! Now come with me

and I will take you into the world. Keep close to me all the time. Be careful of the cat!"

The first day passed, and everything was fine.

之后,事情愈来愈糟。这只可怜的小鸭被所有的小鸭追逐和骚扰,因为他长得很丑。大鸭们咬他,母鸡们啄他,

而喂食他们的女孩把他踢到旁边去。于是他离家出走,不久就来到一片野鸭住的广阔沼泽。

他双疲倦又痛苦,因此他整晚都在那里。

早上这群野鸭们飞来看他们的新朋友。这些野鸭说:“你长得非常丑,但那对我们来说无所谓。”他在那里整整待了两天,

然后有两只野雁飞过来。就在那个时候,他听到“砰!砰!”的声音,那两只野雁摔落在芦苇丛中死了。

对这只可怜的小鸭子来说,那是一项很可怕的冲击。

Afterwards, matters grew worse and worse. The poor duckling was chased and harassed by all the ducklings because he was very ugly.

The ducks bit him, the hens pecked him. and the girl who fed them kicked him aside. Then he ran off and soon came to a great marsh where the wild ducks lived.

He was so tired and miserable that he stayed there the whole night.

In the morning the wild ducks flew up to see their new friend." You are very ugly," said the wild ducks," but that does not matter to us."

He stayed there two whole days . And then two wild geese came.

Just at that moment the sound of "Bang! Bang!" was heard, and both the wild geese fell dead among the reeds.

It was a terrible shock to the poor duckling.

一只巨大的狗出现在他的身边,离他很近。这只狗露出锐利的牙齿,继续往前走,没有碰他。

这只小鸭叹息说:“哦,谢谢老天爷!我是这么丑,因此连狗都不会咬我!”

晚上他来到一间小屋。这间小屋住着一位老婆婆和她的猫及母鸡。她的视力不好,以为这只小鸭是一只肥鸭。

她说:“要是我有了鸭蛋,我就发财了,”因此她留这只小鸭住了3个星期,但他并没有下蛋。

这只猫是这间房子的主人,而这只母鸡是女主人。

A big dog appeared close beside him. He showed his sharp teeth and went on without touching him.

"Oh, thank Heaven! I am so ugly that even the dog wont bite me!"

sighed the duckling.

In the evening he reached a little cottage where an old woman lived with her cat and her hen.

Her eyesight was not good, and she thought the duckling was a fat duck.

"I will be rich if I have duck eggs," she said.

So she took in the duckling for three weeks, but he laid no eggs.The cat was the master of the house

and the hen was the mistress.

母鸡说:“你能不能下蛋呢?”

小鸭回答说:“不能。”

这只猫说:“那么你最好离开到外面广阔的世界去。”就这样这只小鸭离开了。

有一天晚上,太阳刚刚下山,此时有一群漂亮的大鸟从矮树丛飞出来。

小鸭心想:“我从来没有看过这么漂亮的东西。”

"Can you lay eggs?" asked the hen.

"No," answered the duckling.

"Then you had better go out into the wide world," said the cat. So away went the duckling.

One evening the sun was just setting when a flock of beautiful large birds appeared out of the bushes.

The duckling thought," Ive never seen anything so beautiful."

他们有长长的脖子,全身是令人眩目的白色。他们是天鹅,他并不知道这些鸟是什么鸟。

冬天非常地寒冷刺骨,因此这只小鸭在水中游来游去以免冻僵了。

太阳又开始温暖地照耀着,云雀在歌唱,美丽的春天已经来临了。突然这只小鸭举起他的翅膀, 而翅膀拍动的力气要比以前大,

不知不觉中,他发觉自己已置身在一座巨大的花园里,花园里的苹果树开满了花,紫丁香长长的枝桠垂挂在湖岸边。

就在他的面前,他看到三只美丽的白天鹅向他游过来。

They were dazzlingly white with long necks. They were swans.

He did not know what the birds were.

The winter was so bitterly cold that the duckling swam about in the water to keep himself from freezing.

The sun began to shine warmly again. The larks were singing and beautiful spring had come.

Then, all at once, the duckling raised his wings and they flapped with much greater strength than before.

Before he knew it, he found himself in a large garden where the apple trees were in

full blossom and long branches of lilacs overhung the shores of the lake.

Just in front of him he saw three beautiful white swans swimming towards him.

“我将朝他们飞去而他们将会把我劈成粉碎,因为我长得非常丑。

不过没有关系,我宁愿被他们杀死也不愿被那些鸭子咬或是被那些母鸡啄。”

因此他飞入水中朝这些天鹅游过去,他们看到他就向他冲过来。

“杀死我吧,噢,杀死我吧!”可怜的小鸭说着朝水中低头,等待死亡的来临。

但他在清澈的水中看到什么样了呢?

"I will fly to them and they will hack me to pieces because I am so ugly.

But it doesnt matter. I would rather be killed by them than be bitten by the ducks or pecked by the hens."

So he flew into the water and swam towards the swans. They saw him and darted towards him.

"Kill me! Oh, kill me!" said the poor duckling,

and he waited for his death bowing his head towards the water.

But what did he see in the clear water? He was no longer a dark gray ugly bird.

他不再是只黑灰丑陋的鸟,他竟然是一只天鹅!

有些小孩手拿玉米和面包来到这个花园,将这些东西投入水中。

个子最小的那个孩子兴高采烈地大叫:“有一只新来的天鹅。”其他的孩子大叫:

“对啊!来了一只新的。”

他对着自己说:“当我是那只丑小鸭的时候,我从来也没梦想过我能够这么快乐!”

He was himself a swan!

Some children came into the garden with corn and pieces of bread, which they threw into the water.

The smallest child shouted with joy," There is a new one."

The other children shouted, "Yes, a new one has come."

He said to himself,

" I never dreamed that I could be so happy when I was the ugly duckling!"

As was the common practice with the gods of Olympus,Zeus and Hermes were visiting the world in disguise.One day they came to a village.At a thousand house sthey knocked,and a thousand times they were refused rest and food and drink.At last they arrived at a humble cottage,where the old couple Baucis and her husband Philemon lived.Poor but at peace with world,they made the best of what life could offer them ,and felt truly grateful to the gods above.When the two travellers entered the hut,the old couple were glad with lively happiness.They offered their guests their best seat,and immediately set about preparing dinner for them.With no small difficulty they made fire,brought in a fresh cabbage,cut a fat piece of their long kept meat and put them over the fire to cook.The one single goose they were ready to kill for the visitors,but it was saved at the last minute by the guests.The dining bench was a makeshift ,poor and patched but the best they had.The table was supported by a brick.The feast was quite modest,eggs and wine and cot tage cheese,and a variety of newly pickedfruit.The old couple humbly waited on the visiting guests withsincere looks and eager goodwill.Moved at the hospitality ofthe house,the gods told their true identity.“We are gods”,saidZeus.“While the neigh bour hood pays the penalty for itswickedness you shall be free from misfortune.Coming along with us”.When they were near the top of the hill,Bancis and Phile mon looked back and saw all the village below covered by amarsh ,and that among the general ruin and destruction their old cottage alone survived,changed into a grand temple.At their request they were made the guardians of the sacred place of Zeus.When their span of worldly life came to an end they were turned into an ash and linden,standing side by side in front of the temple.

Human growth is a process of experimentation, trial, and error ultimately leading to wisdom。 Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action, you can never quite be certaion how the situation will turn out。 Sometimes you are victorious, and sometimes you become disillusioned。

The failed experiments, however, are no less valuable than the experiments that ultimately prove successful; in fact, you usually learn more from your perceived "failures" than you do from your perceived "success"。

If you have made what you perceive to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own expectations, you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong—doer。 However, perceiving past actions as mistakes implies guilt and blame, and it is not possible to learn anything meaning while you are engaged in blaming。 Therefore, forgiveness is required when you are harshly judging yourself。

Forgiveness is the act of erasing an emotional debt。 There are four kinds of forgiveness。

The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself。

The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another。

The third kind of forgiveness is advanced forgiveness of yourself。 This is for serious transgressions, the ones you carry with deep shame when you do soimething that violates your own values and ethics, you create a chasm between your standards and your actual behavior。 In such a case, you need to work very hard at forgiving youeself for these deeds so that yo call close this chasm and realign with the best part of yourself。

This does not mean that you should rush to forgive yourselfor not feel regret or remorse; but wallowing in these feelings for a protracted period of time is not healthy, and punishing yourself excessively will only creats a bigger gap between you and your ethics。

The last and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another。 At some time of our life, you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems impossible。 However, harboring resentment and revenge fantasies only keeps you trapped in victim hood。 Under such a circumstance, you should force yourself to see the bigger picture, by so doing, you will be able to shift the focus away from the anger and resentment。

It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and clean the memory。 when you can finally release the situation, you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth。

The cat learned the physical skills quickly, and the tiger was always behind.    Gradually, the tiger had to learn from the cat, and the cat was patient to teach the tiger.     Day after day, month after month, finally, the tiger could also run, jump, roll, grasp, tear, and strike as well as the cat.   One summer afternoon, the cat was taking a nap as the tiger sitting nearby.   Looking at the cat, the tiger suddenly thought, why should he keep befriending with such a small animal since he had already learnt all the skills from the cat?    The evil tiger decided to kill the sleeping cat as a before dinner snack.

One day, the Queen Mother of the West Eight Immortals birthday celebration back from the clouds over the East China Sea through, I saw choppy sea, Bailangtaotian, it is truly spectacular. Thus, the Eight Immortals decided to go to the sea and play.

Lu Tung-pin, said: "Everyone threw their treasures on the sea, it is crossed by the sea, comparison and who is more supernatural powers, how?"

Tieguaili first welcomed the recommendation, high-spirited mood he said: "Well you look at me!!" Put the crutches toward the sea, crutches like a boat floating in the water, a torrent somersault, turned upright on crutches.

"We see ah! There seat mirage!"

We turned around and saw a gradually rising mountains from the sea, the mountains there are trees, there are buildings, while on the up in the air, the clouds slowly into the horizon, a flash, a cloud that has been scattered by the wind a.

所谓八仙是指八位仙人,他们分别是:铁拐李、汉钟离、蓝采和、张果老、何仙姑、韩湘子、曹国舅和吕洞宾。

有一天,八仙向西王母拜寿回来,腾云驾雾从东海上空经过,只见海上波涛汹涌,白浪滔天,煞是壮观。于是,八仙决定到海面上玩一玩。

吕洞宾说:“大家把自己的宝物扔到海面上,借着它渡过大海,比一比谁更有神通,怎么样?”

铁拐李首先对这一建议表示欢迎,他兴致昂扬地说:“好啊!大家先看我的!”便把拐杖投向海中,拐杖像一条小船漂浮在水面,铁拐李一个筋斗,翻立在拐杖上。

接着汉钟离把他的芭蕉扇丢到海上,跳下去站在上面。

接着,其他几位仙人也各显神通,张果老倒骑着毛驴,吕洞宾踏着雌雄宝剑,韩湘子坐着萧,何仙姑乘着花篮,蓝采和站在拍板上,曹国舅踩着玉版,都在海面上漂浮了起来。

八仙安稳地顺着汹涌的波浪漂去,这与腾云驾雾感觉大不相同,别有一番新的刺激和情调,大家玩得好不快意。

这时,曹国舅突然用手指向右边,并高声喊道:

“大家看啊!那里有座海市蜃楼!”

大家转头一看,只见一座仙山渐渐地从海里升起,山上有树木,有楼房,一会儿就升到半空中,慢慢地变成天边的浮云,一转眼,那浮云又被风吹散了。

韩湘子说:“我们真是眼福不浅!蜃气是海里蛟龙嘘出来的气体 ,百年难得一见啊!”

突然 ,蓝采和从他们当中消失了。大家远近观望,一边找一边喊,可就是不见蓝采和的踪迹,张果老猜说:

“可能是东海龙王作怪,他不欢迎我们在他的海上大显神通,把蓝采和抓到龙宫去了,走 我们一起到龙宫要人去!”

大家来到龙宫,婉言请求龙王放人。龙王蛮不讲理,不但不肯,还派自己的几个儿子带领虾兵蟹将追杀八仙。八仙只得用随身的法宝当武器,抵抗虾兵蟹将,经过一场激烈的战斗之后,龙王的两个太子被八仙杀死了。

龙王一听,自己的两个儿子被八仙杀了,真是悲愤至极,商请南海、西海、北海龙王来帮忙。龙王的不依不饶,把八仙也给惹火了。铁拐李用酒葫芦把海水吸光,其余几位仙人将泰山搬了过来,往东海一扔,东海立刻变成了一座高 。

双方打得天昏地暗,日月无光,把太上老君、如来佛和观世音也惊动了,他们全都赶来调解。调解的结果是,由蓝采和送东海龙王两片玉版,作为杀两位太子的补偿泰山则由观世音负责搬回原处。

因为这一场纠纷,八仙被玉皇大帝降级一等。从此,八仙再也不敢到外面惹是生非了。

人一生,短短数载,不够时间计较,不够时间事事明细,不必在思前想后中耗磨时间,懂得享乐,人生贵在糊涂。

We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song。 Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes。 Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm。 Most of the time, I do this on my way to work。

我们每个人,在不同时期,都曾经像一个摇滚歌星那样,伴着我们最爱的那首歌又唱又跳。很多人在小时候,甚至是已长大成人,都曾在我们自己房间和家里这样的隐秘空间里这样做过。我呢?我喜欢在开车的时候这样!打开收音机,找一首会唱的歌,很快我就会张开双臂,随着节奏起舞。大部分时候,我在上班的路上这么做。

Yes, that is true。 I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light。 I get weird looks from some people and others laugh。 Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!

是的,那是真的。我会穿上我漂亮的工作服,在堵车和遇到交通灯时,有人就会用奇怪的眼神看着我,或者笑我。对我个人而言,我喜欢沉浸在一首歌的节奏中,由此我愿和你们分享:为人糊涂贵在何处。

The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical。 I know many people do not want to look foolish。 So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!

糊涂一词在字典中的定义是:愚蠢的,傻,荒谬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他们在生活中始终一脸严肃,而这在本质上才是真正的愚笨。

No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect。 I dont care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on… No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?

人无完人,我重申一次:没有人是完美的。我不在乎一个人学识多深,身材多好,外表多美,思想多浅薄,生活多俭朴,多富有,等等……人无完人!那么,为什么要伪装成我们实际上本不是的呢?

Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:

人生何其短暂……你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束,那么,为什么要浪费一分一秒,让自己变得棱角分明?这里引用索萨的话,我觉得她一语中的,是人生的一大秘方。

“Dance as though no one is watching you,

Love as though you have never been hurt before,

Sing as though no one can hear you,

Live as though heaven is on earth。“

跳舞吧,就像没有人欣赏一样,

去爱吧,就像没有受到伤害一样,

唱歌吧,就像没有人倾听一样,

生活吧,就像今天是最后一天一样。

When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others。 However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence。

当我们还是孩子,我们天不怕,地不怕,无忧无虑,所以我们可以不在乎自己再别人眼中的形象去做事情。然而,当我们长大,我们失去了那种天真烂漫。

So dont lose the child that still lives within you。 The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow。 Or watch something that makes you laugh。 Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts。 Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesnt want to feel good?

所以,不要丢失你心中那个小孩。下次你感到沮丧时,去打开你最爱的那首歌吧,随之歌唱起舞,就像没有明天一样。或者看点能让你笑的东西。笑声是除去任何烦恼良方,没有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我,你会好受很多,谁又不想让自己好受呢?

有两个贫苦的樵夫靠上山捡柴糊口,有一天,他们在山里发现两大包棉花,两人喜出望外。棉花轻且贵,当下俩人各背了一包棉花赶路回家。

There once were two poor woodsmen who made a living by collecting woods in the mountain。 One day, they happened to discover two large bag of cotton in the mountain and felt surprisingly happy。 The cotton was light but valuable, so they carried it on their back and went back home。

走着走着,其中一名樵夫眼尖,看到山路上扔着一大捆布,他就和同伴商量。扔下棉花,背布回家。他的同伴却有不同的看法,认为自己背着棉花已走了一大段,到了这里丢下棉花,岂不枉费了先前的辛苦,坚持不愿换布。发现布的樵夫则尽其所能背起布走。又走了一段路,背布的樵夫望见不远处的地上散落着数坛黄金。心想这下真的发财了,赶忙用挑柴的扁担挑黄金。他的同伴仍是不愿丢下棉花,并怀疑黄金不是真的。发现黄金的樵夫只好自己挑了两坛黄金,和背棉花的伙伴赶紧回家。

When they were walking home, one of the woodsmen spotted a large bundle of cloth beside the road。 So he discussed with his partner whether to discard the cotton and take the cloth instead。 But his partner held a different view that since he had carried the cotton for such a long way, he would not change it with cloth because all his previous effort would turn out to be in vain。 Therefore, the other woodsman abandoned the cotton and carried the cloth on his back。 After walking for a while, the woodsman who carried the cloth spotted several jars of gold disseminated on the ground not far away。 He felt so thrilled that he was going to be a wealthy man。 So he gave up the cloth and used his carrying pole to carry two jars of gold, while his partner was still reluctant to abandon the cotton and wondering whether the gold was real or not。

谁知道刚走到山下。天竟下起雨来,俩人在空旷处被淋了个透。更为不幸的是,背棉花的樵夫背上的棉花,吸饱了雨水。重得背不动,实在不得已,只能丢下一路辛苦舍不得放弃的棉花,空着手和挑金子的同伴回家去了。

However, when they just went down to the foot of the mountain, it began to rain all of a sudden。 Both of them were wet from head to toes。 More unfortunately, the woodsman who carried the cotton found that his cotton had absorbed tons of water and became so heavy that he could no longer go on carrying it。 Desperately, he had to abandon the cotton and went back home empty—handed with his partner carrying gold。

在人生的每个关键时刻,谨慎地运用智慧,做最正确的选择,同时别忘了及时审视选择的角度,适时调整。要学会从各个不同的角度全面研究问题,放掉无谓的固执。冷静地用开放的心胸做正确抉择。每次正确无误的抉择将指引你走在通往成功的坦途上。

This story implies that we should deliberately utilize our wisdom and intelligence to make the right choice in face of every critical point in our life。 Meantime, we should not forget to review all the choices we have carefully and adjust our goal accordingly。 We should learn to view a certain issue from different angles and avoid being stubborn。 By opening your mind to the right choice, you will be guided to a smoother way to success。

真的小猛士:美国9岁男孩徒手斗鳄鱼

A brave 9-year-old is recovering in hospital after he wrestled a 9-foot, 400lb alligator off him with his bare hands - and he now plans to make a necklace from a tooth doctors found embedded in a wound on his back.

美国佛罗里达州一名9岁的小男孩,在湖中游泳时,遭到一条长9英尺(约2.7米长)、重400磅(约180多公斤)的短吻鳄袭击,赤手与其搏斗之后,小男孩身上多处受伤,目前正在医院治疗中。医生从他背部的伤口里取出一颗短吻鳄的牙齿,小男孩表示想把它做成项链。

James Barney Jr, spoke calmly and eloquently about his ordeal from hospital, where he was tucked up in bed with a teddy bear by his side. He was covered in some 30 teeth marks, doctors said.

小男孩名叫小詹姆斯·巴尼,他在医院里平静、生动地讲述了自己与短吻鳄搏斗的经历,在他床边还放有一只泰迪熊。医生说,小詹姆斯全身有30多处牙印。

The little boy described how it was a hot day so he had parked his bike and jumped into Lake Tohopekaliga - a lake that people are forbidden to swim in - when he felt something brush against his leg.

小詹姆斯说那天特别热,于是他就把自行车停在一旁自己跳进了托霍普卡莱加湖,这个湖是禁止人们在里面游泳的,刚一进去他就感觉有东西擦到他的腿了。

It really amazed me what happened. At first, I thought someone was just playing with me, and I didnt know what happened, he told ABC.

“我潜入水中抓住了它,摸到了它的下巴,摸到了它的牙齿,可不知道该怎么做,不过我立刻就反应过来了赶紧猛打了它几下,并使劲撑开了它的嘴巴。”小詹姆斯把它的嘴巴撑得足够大后赶紧退后并向岸边游去。

Witnesses say the boy surfaced, screaming that hed been bitten by an alligator. They immediately called 911.

目击者称小男孩浮出水面后尖叫着说自己被一只短吻鳄咬到了。于是他们立刻拨打911报警。

可能导致马航飞机坠毁的原因是什么?

Traditionally regarded as one of the safest planes in the skies, the Boeing 777’s reputation will have been damaged by the second fatal crash in less than a year.

There are around 1,000 Boeing 777s in service, and the plane is a long haul workhorse, plying some of the longest routes.

It entered service in 1995 and the National Transportation Safety Board, which is responsible for monitoring US-made aircraft, has logged fewer than 60 incidents.

But the recent record has been more patchy with two major incidents - a crash at San Francisco airport last July, which claimed three lives, and the crash-landing of a British Airways 777 at Heathrow in January 2008.

But the Malaysian disaster is very different from both the BA incident and the crash involving a Asiana Airlines flight at San Francisco International Airport in July.

Both the BA and Asiana accidents occurred shortly before landing, while the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar during the early stages of the trip.

The accident at San Francisco in July was attributed to pilot error which led to the engines being set to idle because he believed the computer would maintain sufficient speed to keep the plane up in the air.

But initial reports suggest that Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the 53-year-old Malaysian airlines pilot, was hugely experienced - having joined the carrier in 1981 and with 18,365 hours in the cockpit under his belt.

The BA crash landing, which did not result in any fatalities, was finally found to have been caused by a blockage in the fuel line feeding the engine.

Simply put the aircraft had the aviation equivalent of a cardiac arrest because some of the fuel failed to melt and blocked the supply line at the end of a long flight from Beijing to London, during which the plane travelled through unusually cold airspace over Siberia.

This crash has echoes of the disaster in which 288 people on board an Air France Airbus 330. That plane, another long-haul workhorse, crashed into the Atlantic en-route from Rio de Janeiro in June 2009 killing 228 people.

A variety of explanations have been given for the Air France crash, with investigators finding that the plane’s speed sensors were giving an incorrect reading.

But with this crash involving a different aircraft, it will take several months before investigators can ascertain the cause.

据英国《每日电讯报》报道,波音777飞机一直被认为是最安全机型之一,但不到一年时间里发生第二起致命坠毁必然会使其名声受损。

波音777飞机在1995年投入使用,现在运行中的波音777飞机大约有1000架,而且它们通常承担最远距离的飞行,是长途运输的主力。负责监控美国制造飞机的美国国家运输安全委员会记录的意外事件不到60件。

但是,最近的记录却因为两次重大事件显得很突出——一件为去年7月旧金山机场的坠机事件,导致三人死亡,另一件为2008年1月在希思罗机场一架英国航空公司的波音777迫降事件。

然而,本次马航事件与英国航空公司事件以及在旧金山国际机场发生的韩亚飞机坠毁事件不同。上两次事件发生在降落前的很短时间内,而马航飞机在航程开始不久就从雷达信号中消失了。

7月的旧金山机场事件归因于飞行员的错误操作,飞行员认为电脑能保持足够的速度使飞机保持空中高度,因此使发动机处于闲置状态。但是,初步报告表明53岁的马航飞行员沙阿飞行经验丰富——1981年进入马航,飞行时间已达1.8365万个小时。

英国航空公司的飞机迫降事件,没有造成人员死亡,失事原因最终确定为连接引擎的燃油管线堵塞。

假设把这次飞机失事的原因比作心脏骤停,原因是在北京到伦敦飞行的最后,经过了西伯利亚不同寻常的寒冷上空,一部分燃料没有融化堵住了供应管道。

本次马航事件让人联想到当年载有288名乘客的法航空客330坠毁事件。这架长途飞行的客机在2009年6月从里约热内卢起飞后在途中坠入大西洋,造成228人死亡。

对于法航飞机坠毁事件的原因,有多个解释,但调查发现飞机的速度传感器给出了错误的读数。但是本次马航事件的飞机与前面所述飞机不同,可能需要几个月的调查才能确定其原因。

云南鲁甸6.5级地震 2500余名官兵赶赴救援

China has deployed 2,500 soldiers to the south-western province of Yunnan to help search for survivors after an earthquake killed at least 398 people.

中国西南省份云南日前发生地震,目前已造成至少398人死亡,政府已出动2500名官兵赶往灾区协助搜救工作。

More than 1,800 people were injured when the magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck on Sunday.

云南周日发生6.1级地震,导致1800余人受伤。

Attempts to reach the epicentre have been hampered by heavy rain, with some rescuers forced to travel on foot.

救援队因暴雨受阻,只能徒步前往震中。

State broadcaster CCTV said the earthquake was the strongest to hit the mountainous province in 14 years.

中国国家电视台CCTV称,云南多山,此次地震是14年来云南省内最强的一次地震。

President Xi Jinping called for "all-out efforts" to find survivors as he dispatched soldiers to the area.

国家主席习近平在向灾区派兵的同时还作出指示,要将救人放在第一位。

They joined more than 300 police and firefighters from Zhaotong and about 400 emergency workers and sniffer dogs from across Yunnan province in the rescue operation.

参与救援行动的还有300余名昭通的武警公安和消防官兵,以及云南省派出的400名救灾人员和搜救犬。

But rescuers trying to deliver the much-needed supplies are struggling to reach the area, reports the BBCs Celia Hatton in Beijing.

但据BBC驻北京记者西莉亚·哈顿报道,搜救人员无法很快将应急物资送往震中。

Unrelenting rain and continuing landslides have left many roads in the region too damaged to use, she adds.

她补充说道,持续的暴雨和山体滑坡导致前往灾区的多个路段受阻。

Premier Li Keqiang has travelled to the area to oversee the rescue operation. And he had to walk for "over three miles" (5km) to reach the worst-hit village in Yunnan on Monday.

周一,中国国务院总理李克强赴云南视察灾情时需徒步“3英里多”(5千米)才能走到受灾最严重的村镇。

A spokesman for UN chief Ban Ki-moon said the secretary-general was "saddened by the loss of life".

联合国秘书长潘基文的发言人称,秘书长对云南地震造成人员伤亡表示悲痛。

South-west China lies in an area that is prone to earthquakes.

中国西南地区处于地震多发带。

An earthquake in Sichuan in 2008 killed tens of thousands of people while a magnitude 7.7 quake in Yunnan in 1970 killed at least 15,000.

2008年四川地震导致几万人遇难,1970年云南7.7级地震遇难人数超过1.5万人。

在我们死后,我们的挚爱可以获得我们的网络账户密码吗?

Should Your Family Get Access To Your Online Accounts When You Die?

Its a question that will eventually—hopefully not soon!—confront you, me, and every other person reading this: Should our loved ones gain access to our digital lives, from email to Instagram to financial accounts, after we die? A cadre of state-appointed lawyers are creating a bill that would allow for just that.

This is one of the more important legal dilemmas of recent years, and only a few states have clear laws on whether, say, a parent should gain access to their childs Facebook if the child dies, or whether a wife should get access to financial information locked in her deceased husbands email account. This week at its annual meeting, the Uniform Law Commission—a Chicago-based group of lawyers who are appointed to write clear and stable language for new legislation—will finalize its recommended language for a law that would give loved ones access to all of your digital accounts after you die. Unless you specify otherwise.

As the AP reports today, the bill would create a legal process for gaining access, which can be incredibly difficult today:

Most people assume they can decide what happens by sharing certain passwords with a trusted family member, or even making those passwords part of their will. But in addition to potentially exposing passwords when a will becomes public record, anti-hacking laws and most companys "terms of service" agreements prohibit anyone from accessing an account that isnt theirs. That means loved ones technically become criminals if they log on to a dead persons account.

And thats assuming they even have the password. Going up against giants like Google makes the process even more difficult. And for a grieving family, it can be all but impossible.

The bill would give access—but not control—to loved ones unless they specifically wrote in their will that they wouldnt allow it.
