　　篇一

　　You're awesome!

　　令人敬畏的你

　　Consider YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come,there has never been and will never be anyone just like you.

　　誡想一下…你!一個空前絕後的你，不論是以往還是將來都不會有一個跟你一模一樣的人。

　　You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe.

　　你在歷史上和宇宙中都是獨一無二的。

　　Wow !Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion...

　　哇!想想吧，你是萬里挑一、億裡挑一、兆裡挑一的。

　　You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!

　　在無窮無盡的宇宙中，你是舉世無雙的!

　　You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome asyou already are, you can be even more so.

　　你是了不起的!你是卓越的!沒錯，就是你。你已經是了不起的，是卓越的，你還可以更卓越更了不起。

　　Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature,but beautiful old people are true works of art.

　　美麗的年輕人是大自然的奇想，而美麗的老人卻是藝術的傑作。

　　But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.

　　但你不會因為年齡的漸長就自然而然地變得“美麗”。

　　Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life.

　　真正的美麗源於生命裡的學習、成長和熱愛。

　　That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life tohappen to you.

　　這就是生命的芝術。你可以只聽天由命，慢慢地學，有時候或許會很痛苦。

　　Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers.

　　又或許你可以選擇加速自己的成長，故意地揮霍生活及其提供的一切。

　　You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.Paint a Masterpiece.God givesevery bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever youwant to do, it's truly up to you.

　　你就是手握今日之刷描繪自己未來的藝術家。畫出一幅傑作吧!上帝給了鳥兒食物，但他沒有將食物扔到它們的巢裡。不管你想要去哪裡，不管你想要做什麼，真正做決定的還是你自己。

　　篇二

　　Enthusiasm Takes You Further

　　熱情成就未來

　　Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisersurged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take youfurther than any amount of experience."

　　數年前，當我第一次找工作時,不少明智之士強烈向我建議：“巴巴拉，要有熱情!熱情比任何經驗都更有益。”

　　How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra workinto opportunity and strangers into friends.

　　這話多麼正確，熱情的人可以把沉悶的車程變成探險，把加班變成機會，把陌生人變成朋友。

　　"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is thepaste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers,"Ican do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't."

　　“沒有熱情就不會有任何偉大的成就，”拉爾夫沃爾多. 愛默生寫道，當事情進展不順時，熱情是幫助你堅持下去的粘合劑。當別人叫喊“你不行”時，熱情是你內心發出的聲音，“我能行”。

　　It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock,a geneticist who won the 1983Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't let up on her experiments. Workwas such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.

　　1983年諾貝爾醫學獎的獲得者遺傳學家巴巴拉麥克林托克早年的工作直到很多年後才被公眾所承認，但她並沒有放棄實驗工作，對她來說是一種如此巨大的快樂，她從未想過要停止它。

　　We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen aninfant's delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle. It is this childlike wonder that givesenthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.

　　我們都生來好奇，睜大眼睛，滿懷熱情一一每一個看到過嬰兒聽到鑰匙聲或看見亂爬的甲蟲就興奮不己的人都會明白這一點。

　　At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through hisfingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes.

　　正是這種孩子氣的好奇給了熱情的人們***不論年齡大小***一種青春的氣息。大提琴家帕布羅卡薩爾斯在90歲時還堅持以拉巴赫開始他的每一天，音樂從他的指間流出，他彎著的背挺直起來，歡樂再度溢滿。

　　Music, for Casals, was an elixir that made life a never ending adventure. As author and poet SamuelUllman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

　　他的音樂對卡薩爾斯來說，是使人生變成無止境的探索之旅的靈丹妙藥。就像作家兼詩人塞繆爾厄爾曼曾寫過的：“歲月使面板起了皺紋，但如果失去熱情，便會使靈魂起皺紋”。

　　How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer,I believe, lies in the worditself. "Enthusiasm" comes from the Greek and means "God within." And what is God within is butan abiding sense of love - proper love of self ***self-acceptance*** and, from that, love of others.

　　怎樣才能找回孩提時代的熱情呢?我相信答案就在“熱情”這個詞本身。“熱情”一詞源於希臘語，原意是“內在的上帝”這裡所說的“內在的上帝”不是別的，而是一種持久不變的愛一一恰當的自愛***自我接受***，並愛他人。

　　Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot dowhat we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, like the head of state whopaints, the nun who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture.

　　熱情的人們同樣熱愛他們所做的事，而不是考慮金錢地位。如果我們不能把熱愛的事作為正式職業，我們也可把它當作業餘消遣：比如有國家元首喜歡畫畫的，有修女參加馬拉松長跑的，有行政官員製作手工傢俱的。

　　Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended bouts ofdepression that had plagued her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic tosay,”I am tempted to call Layton a genius." Elizabeth has rediscovered her enthusiasm.

　　堪薩斯州，韋爾斯維爾市的伊麗莎白萊頓到68歲才開始畫畫。這一愛好消除了曾糾纏她至少達30年之久的憂鬱症。而她的作品水準之高使得一個評論家說：“我忍不住要稱萊頓為天才”伊麗莎白又找回了她的熱情。

　　We can't afford to waste tears on "might-have-been." We need to turn the tears into sweat as wego after "what-can-be."

　　我們不應該把眼淚浪費在“早該”之類的後悔上。我們需要把眼淚化為汗水，去追求“可能”之物。

　　We need to live each moment whole heartedly, with all our senses - finding pleasure in thefragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty ofa rainbow.

　　找們需要以全副身心去度過生命中的每一分鐘一一在後花園的芬芳中，在6歲小孩的蠟筆畫中，在彩虹醉人的美中，找到快樂正是這種對生活的熱愛.

　　It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes,a lilt in our steps and smooth thewrinkles from our souls.

　　讓我們雙目有神，讓我們步履矯健，讓我們靈魂的皺紋展平。

　　篇三

　　Five Balls of Life

　　生命中的五個球

　　In a university commencement address several years ago, BrianDyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation ofwork to one’s other commitments:

　　幾年前，在一所大學的畢業典禮中,可口可樂的執行長布賴恩戴森講到工作與其他義務的關係：

　　Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work,family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understandthat work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

　　想象生命是一場不停丟擲五個球於空中的遊戲。這五個球分別為工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心靈，而且你很努力地擲著這五個球，不讓它們落地。很快地你會了解工作是一個橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它，它還是會彈回來。

　　But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these,they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never bethe same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?

　　但是家庭、健康、朋友和心靈這四個球是用玻璃做成的。一旦你失手落下，它們可能會少了一角，留下無法挽回的記號、刻痕、損壞甚至碎落一地。它們將永遠不會跟以前一樣。你必須瞭解這個道理，並且為平衡你的生命而努力。但要怎麼才做得到呢?

　　Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different thateach of us is special.

　　別拿自己和他人比較，這隻會降低了你原有的價值。因為我們都是獨一無二的，因為我們每一個人都很特別。

　　Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

　　別人認為重要的事不一定是你的目標。只有你才知道什麼最適合你。

　　Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life,for without them, life is meaningless.

　　不要將貼近你的心的人、事物視為理所當然的存在。你必須將他們視為你的生命一般好好地抓牢他們。沒有他們，生命將失去意義。

　　Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your lifeone day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

　　別讓你的生命總在依戀過去種種或是寄望未來中逝去。如果你活在每個當下，你就活出了生命中的每一天。

　　Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment youstop trying.

　　當你還能給予的時候別輕言放棄。只要你不放棄，就有無限延伸的可能。

　　Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to eachtogether.

　　別害怕承認你並非完美。正因如此，我們才得以藉由這脆弱的細絲緊密地串綁在一起。

　　Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

　　別害怕遇到危險。正因如此，我們才得以藉由這些機會學習勇敢。

　　Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love isto give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is togive it wings.

　　別以愛太難找到作為藉口而緊閉你的心扉。最迅速找到愛的方法就是給予你的愛;最快速失去愛的方法就是緊緊地守著你的愛不放;維持愛的最好方式就是給愛一雙翅膀。

　　Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you aregoing.

　　莫要匆忙地度過你的一生，那匆忙讓你忘了曾經到過哪裡，也讓你忘了你要去哪裡。

　　Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

　　莫忘記，人類情感上最大的需要是感恩。

　　Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

　　莫害怕學習。知識沒有重量，它是可以隨意攜帶的珍寶。

　　Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.

　　莫漫不經心地蹉跎光陰或口無遮攔。時間與言詞兩者都是一放便收不回來。

　　Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

　　生命不是一場賽跑, 而是一步一個腳印的旅程。

　　Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that’s why we call it ‘The Present’.
