编者按： 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 Youth Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips andsuppleknees; 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. You...
引言： 回首那个糟糕的夏天，我很快就明白了，所有后来出现的好事只不过与坏事相互抵消。比一般情况糟糕的境遇不会延宕过久；而太平时光是我应得的，我要尽情享受，它们为我注入活力以应对下一个险情，并确保我可以兴旺发达。 The 50-Percent Theory of Life I believe in the 50-percent theory. Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are worse. I believe life is apend...
编者引言：生命，应如烟花般绚烂夺目，如怒放的鲜花般芬芳… Giving Life Meaning Have you thought about what you want people to say about you after you’re gone? Can you hear the voice saying, “He was a great man.” Or “She really will be missed.” What else do they say? One of the strangest phenomena of life is to engage in a work that will last long after death. Isn’t that a...
编者按： 你认识你的脸孔，因为你经常从镜子里看到它。现在有一面镜子，在其中你可以看到完整的自己，看到自己心里所有的事情，所有的感觉、动机、嗜好、冲动及恐惧。这面镜子就是关系的镜子：你与父母之间的镜子，你与老师之间的镜子，你与河流、树木、地球之间的镜子，你与自己思想之间的镜子。 ——克里希那穆提（印度哲学家） Mirror, Mirror—What do I See? A loving person lives in...
Work and Pleasure To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: “I will take an interest in this or that.” Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any ...
The Goodness of Life Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed. 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, man...
An October Sunrise I was up the next morning before the October sunrise, and away through the wild and the woodland. The rising of the sun was noble in the cold and warmth of it peeping down the spread of light, he raised his shoulder heavily over the edge of grey mountain and wavering length of upland. Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped, and crept to crept to the hollow p...
生命如诗，需要我们用心去感受那或豪迈洒脱、或婉约清丽的诗行… Human Life a Poem I think that, from a biological standpoint, human life almost reads like a poem. It has its own rhythm and beat, its internal cycles of growth and decay. It begins with innocent childhood, followed by awkward adolescence trying awkwardly to adapt itself to mature society, with its young passi...
编者按： 大师们的作品在我们心灵扎根，诗人们的佳句在我们血管中运行。我们年轻时读了书，年老了又把它们记起。 —-赫兹利特 Companionship of Books A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men. A good ...
Do you fear the force of the wind? ——Hamilton Garland Do you fear the force of the wind? Do you fear theslashof the rain? Go face them and fight them. Be savage again. Go hungry and cold like the wolf. Gowadelike the crane: The palms of your hands will thicken. The skin of your cheek will tan. You‘ll growraggedand weary andswarthy. But you’ll walk like a man! 你害怕风吗？ 你...
The Happy door Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples. As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty. There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extre...
编者按： 沉湎过去,就无法与今天同行,明天因而也成了一个遥遥的无期。 沉湎过去，就无法让我们的每天过得精彩，痛苦因而成了一个咒语无法摆脱。 What is Your Recovery Rate? What is your recovery rate? How long does it take you to recover from actions and behaviors that upset you? Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? The longer it takes you to recover, the more influence that incident has on y...
编者按： 毋宁说，倒是我们这些还活着的人，应该在这里把自己奉献于勇士们已经如此崇高地向前推进但尚未完成的事业。倒是我们应该在这里把自己奉献于仍然留在我们面前的伟大任务——我们要从这些光荣的死者身上汲取更多的献身精神，来完成他们已经完全彻底为之献身的事业；我们要在这里下定最大的决心，不让这些死者白白牺牲；我们要使国家在上帝福佑下得到自由的新生，要使这个民有、民治、民享的政府永世长...
Bed in Summer ——Robert Louis Stevenson In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light In summer, quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day. I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people's feet Still going past me in the street. And does it seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should...
编者按： 一个懂得生活的人，必然是一个内心世界丰富充实的人。一个内心世界丰富的人才能在黑暗中看到光明，才能欣赏生长在荆棘丛中艳丽的花朵，才能在纷繁的外部表象中寻到事物的本质。构建强大的内心世界是一生的事业。 Abundance is a Life Style Abundanceis a life style, a way of living your life. It isn’t something you buy now and then or pull down from the cupboard, dust off and use onc...
Be Happy! “The days that make us happy make us wise.”—-John Masefield when I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it. Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here...
编者按： 有时我想，把每天都当作生命中的最后一天来边，也不失为一个极好的生活法则。这种态度会使人格外重视生命的价值。我们每天都应该以优雅的姿态，充沛的精力，抱着感恩之心来生活。 —-海伦.凯勒 Three Days to See(Excerpts)假如给我三天光明（节选） All of us have readthrillingstories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a ...
引言： 禀赋迥异，万物各就其位； 倘若我不能将森林背负，你也无法将坚果打破。 The mountain and thesquirrel ——Ralph Waldo Emerson The Mountain and the Squirrel Had a quarrel; And the Mountain called the Squirrel 'LittlePrig.' Bunreplied, You are doubtless very big; But all sorts of things and weather Must be taken in together, To make up a year And a sphere. And Think it...
引言： 傅雷先生在《约翰·克里斯朵夫》的译者献辞中说过：“真正的光明决不是永远没有黑暗的时候，只是永不被黑暗掩蔽罢了。真正的英雄决不是永远没有卑下的情操，只是永不被卑下的情操屈服罢了。……所以在你要战胜外来的敌人之前，先得战胜你内在的敌人；你不必害怕沉沦堕落，只要你能不断地自拔与更新。” Facing the Enemies Within We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. May...
编者按： 《圣经》中说，“今日乃主所创”，人生中，真正令人不安静的其实是对昨天的悔恨和明天的恐惧。那么，不如静下心来好好的品味现在。 Relish the Moment Tucked awayin our subconsciousness is anidyllicvision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the moment. We are traveling by train.Out the windows, wedrink inthe passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving a...
