篇一
Eyes can speak-眼睛會說話
Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s stare with you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.
However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel disconcerted. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.
In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.
Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
我們的眼睛能準確地傳達一些資訊,所以人們常說,眼睛會說話。
你有過類似的體驗嗎?在公共汽車上,你可能會看著一個陌生人,但時間不會太長。而且,如果他能感覺到有人盯著他,會覺得渾身不自在。
日常生活中亦如此。如果別人一直盯著你看,你就會不由自主地審視自己,看看是不是有什麼地方弄錯了。如果一切正常,你就會對別人的這種盯梢很氣憤。眼睛確實能說話,不是嗎?
過久的盯著別人看會給人一種粗魯和侵犯的感覺。但異性之間的凝視就不同了。如果一個男人盯著一個女人超過10秒鐘,還不想挪開視線的話,他的意思就十分明顯了,他想引起她的注意,想讓她知道他愛慕她。
正常情況下,兩人交談時,目光接觸能傳達這樣的意思:說者偶爾看看聽者,以此確認聽著是否在認真傾聽。而對於聽者來說,他會一直看著說話的人,以此告訴他,自己正專心致志的聽著。
假如與你說話的那個人直直的盯著你,好像要鎮住你似的,你便會感到惶恐不安。一般地,說謊者往往就是看別人的時間過長,而令人起疑。因為他們以為直視別人的眼睛是誠實溝通的表現,結果恰恰相反。
實際上,長時間的相互凝視僅適合情人之間,他們喜歡溫柔的對視,用目光來傳達言語無法表達的愛意。
顯然,目光交流應該根據雙方的關係和特定場合來進行。
篇二
愛是幸福生活的關鍵所在
As we all know, love is the crux of a happy life.
眾所周知,愛是幸福生活的關鍵所在。
Love helps us stay calm and serene even when things are tough.
愛幫助我們在時事艱難的時候保持沉著,平靜的心態。
It can carry us through the hard times.
它能幫我們度過苦難的時光。
Love looks for ways to be of service.
愛會自己尋找助人的途徑。
Love is enjoying the surprises of life,
愛是享受生命中的諸多驚喜,
and being totally delighted with what life gives you.
愛是完全滿足於生活的給予。
Love is the key to happiness
愛是幸福生活的鑰匙,
and it is a real blessing to others.
愛是對他人真摯的祝福。
People who love make the world a kind and gentle place and other people feel safe around them.
心中有愛的人讓世界充滿仁慈和儒雅之風,讓周圍的人感到安全。
They appreciate differences instead of making them a cause for prejudice or fighting.
他們求同存異,而不是把分歧作為成見或者爭執的理由。
篇三
Relish the Moment-品味現在
Tucked away in our subconsciousness is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are travelling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving on a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.
But the uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we reach there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will be fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes loitering, waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
"When we reach the station, that will be it", we cry. "When I'm 18", "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz", "When I put my last kid through collage", "When I have paid off the mortgage", "When I get a promotion", "When I reach the age of the retirement, I shall live happily ever after."
Sooner or later, we must realize that there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
"Relish the moment" is a good motto, especially when coupled withe the Psalm 118:24:"This is the day which the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tommorrow. Reget and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more icecreams, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.
我們的潛意識裡藏著一派田園詩般的風光!我們彷彿身處一次橫貫大陸的漫漫旅程之中!乘著火車,我們領略著窗外流動的景色:附近高速公路上賓士的汽車、十字路口處招手的孩童、遠山上吃草的牛群、源源不斷地從電廠排放出的煙塵、一片片的玉米和小麥、平原與山谷、群山與綿延的丘陵、天空映襯下城市的輪廓,以及鄉間的莊園宅第!
然而我們心裡想得最多的卻是最終的目的地!在某一天的某一時刻,我們將會抵達進站!迎接我們的將是樂隊和飄舞的彩旗!一旦到了那兒,多少美夢將成為現實,我們的生活也將變得完整,如同一塊理好了的拼圖!可是我們現在在過道里不耐煩地踱來踱去,咒罵火車的拖拖拉拉!我們期待著,期待著,期待著火車進站的那一刻!
"當我們到站的時候,一切就都好了!"我們呼喊著!"當我18歲的時候!""當我有了一輛新450SL賓士的時候!""當我供最小的孩子唸完大學的時候!""當我償清貸款的時候!""當我官升高任的時候!""當我到了退休的時候,就可以從此過上幸福的生活啦!"
可是我們終究會認識到人生的旅途中並沒有車站,也沒有能夠"一到永逸"的地方!生活的真正樂趣在於旅行的過程,而車站不過是個夢,它始終遙遙領先於我們!
真正令人發瘋的不是今日的負擔,而是對昨日的悔恨及對明日的恐懼!悔恨與恐懼是一對孿生竊賊,將今天從你我身邊偷走!
那麼就不要在過道里徘徊吧,別老惦記著你離車站還有多遠!何不換一種活法,將更多的高山攀爬,多吃點兒冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴,經常光著腳板兒溜達,在更多的河流裡暢遊,多看看夕陽西下,多點歡笑哈哈,少讓淚水滴答!生活得一邊過一邊瞧!車站就會很快到達!
