美汇入她的举止，美溶进她的眼神； 美在乌黑的发际游弋，美在灿烂的脸上逡巡。 She Walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies； And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes； Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies． By George Gordon 乔治•戈登•拜伦(George Gordon Byron 1...
Prayer for My Mother Dear God， Now that I am no longer young，I have friends whose mothers have passed away．I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them． I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive．I appreciate her more each day．My mother does not change，but I do．As I grow older and w...
Welcome to another brand new day at Faithradio online daily sunshine, Faith英语电台每日阳光絮语。 To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful “magic skills” that human beings are capable of.

You Can Have Entertainment at No Cost Most of us trade money for entertainment. Movies, concerts and shows are enjoyable but expensive. If you think that you cannot have a good time without spending a lot of money, read on. Little resourcefulness and a few minutes of newspaper-scanning should give you some pleasant surprises. People may be the most interesting show in a larg...
Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends. “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo ...
The Paradox of Happiness Do you recall a time—let’s say when you were about 5 years old—what defined happiness back then? Was it getting a puppy for Christmas? Or maybe, you were a child of divorce, and all you wanted was for Mom and Dad to get back together again? Then as you got older, you were hoping that someone would ask you to the prom that would’ve made yo...
生性喜爱孩子的妇女，能够从抚养子女中得到这种满足。艺术家、作家和科学家如果对自己的工作感到满意，也能以同样的方式得到快乐。 If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common. The most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into ...
所以，请不要让别人偷走你的梦想，或者让他们对你说梦想太遥不可及。 “唱你的歌，做你的梦，给你的希望以希望，给你的祈祷以祈祷。” The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman, “How have you done so much in your lifetime?” He replied, “I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought ...
On His Seventieth Birthday Of late years the public have been trying to tackle me in every way they possibly can, and failing to make anything of it they have turned to treating me as a great man. This is a dreadful fate to overtake anybody. There has been a distinct attempt to do it again now, and for that reason I absolutely decline to say anything about the celebration of...

Criteria of Excellency My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat simultaneously. It was hanging on a rack at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass, crammed in with shoddy trench coats and an assortment of sad, woolen overcoats—a rose among thorns. While the other coats drooped, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the dou...
“Magic Mum”at Harvard University President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, proud parents, and, above all, graduates. The first thing I would like to say is thank you. Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honour, but the weeks of fear and nausea I’ve experienced at the thought of giving this commenc...

Nourish disappointments with hope whenever it is neeeded, and always...
只要一个人认同了他的个体性、接受他的恐惧、选择了目标、怀着希望奋勇前进，那么他就真正地战胜生活了。 With age comes experience and with experience comes knowledge and understanding. No one individual is ever completed with his or her growth. For the wisest of all men has death to face. And with death imminent for all, one will still have to face fear till the very end of one&#...
在想象中，你可以以光的速度一路顺风地去世界各地旅行。尽管想象是暂时的，也只是在脑海中，但它会令你远离包袱，远离困难，以及不顺心的环境，体验自由的感觉。 The Power of Imagination Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not perceived through the senses. It is the ability of the mind to built mental scenes, objects or events that do not exist, are n...
How I’ve Been Enriched by Beggars Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman on crutches waited beside the door with her hand outstretched. Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes met. She never failed to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting. On the last day of our visit, I found myself alone on a busy corner across the street f...
Motherly love by its very nature is unconditional. Mother loves the newborn infant because it is her child, not because the child has fulfilled any specific condition, or lived up to any specific expectation. Unconditional love corresponds in one of the deepest longings, not only of the child, but of every human being; on the other hand, to be loved because of one’s merit, b...
Welcome to another brand new day at Faithradio online daily sunshine. 欢迎来到Faith英语电台每日阳光絮语。 Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more.

月色下，我们看不到生活中坚硬的棱角。山坡在月光下如同笼上了一层柔和的银纱；大海在月光下宁静碧蓝；我们在月光下也不再像白日那般心计来往，而是沉醉于自然的情感中。 The Fascinating Moonrise There is a hill near my home that I often climb at night. The noise of the city is a far-off murmur. In the hush of dark I share the cheerfulness of crickets and the confidence of owls. But it ...
