關於高考的勵志美文欣賞

　　閱讀作為語言學習的基本技能之一,既是學習和增長語言知識的重要途徑,也是獲得資訊的重要活動。與國內外各級各類英語測試一樣,閱讀測試部分高考英語試題中所佔的比重也是非常之大。下面是小編帶來的，歡迎閱讀!

　　篇一

　　讓將來的你感謝現在努力的自己

　　"Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come." - Unknown

　　“一定要記住，你目前的處境並非你的最終目標，最好的日子終將到來。”——匿名

　　If your life isn't where you want it to be, change it. It's what successful people have done for thousands of years. You may currently be struggling and frustrated with your life but it's not going to stay like this forever, that is, unless you don't do anything to change it.

　　如果現在的生活並非如你所願，那就去改變，數千年來成功人士都是這樣做的。你現在可能正在掙扎，目前的生活使你沮喪，但生活不會一成不變，只要你能行動起來做出改變。

　　The best time of your life may still be ahead of you but it won't just magically show up, you have to create it. It's in your power to create whatever future you want for your life. Even if your best days are truly behind you, you can still have plenty of great days ahead of you if you decide to make it so.

　　最好的生活仍在前方等著你，但它不會無緣無故出現，需要你親手去創造。你擁有那種力量去創造自己未來想要的生活，即使最好的日子已經過去，但只要你下定決心未來仍有很多好日子等著你。

　　Instead of letting circumstances control and defeat you, use them to push you into action so that you can change your present situation. Bad times aren't going to last forever but if you want more great times ahead of you instead of just good times, it's time to start doing things that will make that a reality… it's time to work toward your ideal destination.

　　不要讓生活控制或打敗你，你要把壓力變成動力去改變目前的處境。糟糕的情況不會永遠持續下去，但如果你想要以後的生活更美好，那現在就要行動起來去把願望變成現實，現在就要朝自己夢想的生活努力前行。

　　篇二

　　別讓抑鬱束縛你

　　Depression is like a plague that hits every one of us at some point in life. Everyone copes with it in their own way, but oftentimes it's hard to understand what exactly you feel and why you feel like that. Feeling depressed for a few minutes and hours is a healthy reaction to a hard situation or event. However, when you let this feeling stay with you for longer, you risk losing yourself and ruining your life. Even though you probably need to see your doctor, these depression quotes may help you understand your true and deep feelings to know how to get rid of this plague.

　　抑鬱就像瘟神，每個人一生中都有遇上的時候。每個人有自己對抗抑鬱的方式，但通常別人很難理解那究竟是什麼感覺，也不理解你為什麼會有那樣的感覺。抑鬱幾分鐘或幾小時都是面對糟糕處境和事情的健康反應。然而，你要是讓這種情緒持續更久，你就會有迷失自己、毀掉生活的風險。即使你可能需要去看看醫生，但這些關於抑鬱的引文會有助於你理解自己真實的深切的感受，以便知道如何擺脫掉這個瘟神。

　　1. Mood swings

　　1. 情緒波動

　　“I'll never forget how the depression and loneliness felt good and bad at the same time. Still does.” It's Henry Rollins' quote that often relates to me. One minute I feel the happiest person in the world and the next minute I feel awfully sad. I feel happy because I'm alone, but feel depressed because I'm lonely. It's actually confused feeling.

　　“我永遠不會忘記抑鬱和孤獨是如何使我同時感覺又好又壞的，現在依然如此。”這是亨利•羅林斯的話，我常有這種感受，前一分鐘還感覺自己是世界上最幸福的人，下一分鐘就特別傷心。我快樂是因為我獨自一人，但抑鬱是因為我感覺孤獨，這感覺真令人迷惑。

　　2. Daytime nightmare

　　2. 白天是惡夢

　　“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.” – Ned Vizzini

　　“我不想醒來，睡覺時更開心。多悲哀呀，就像惡夢顛倒了。正如你從惡夢中醒來時感覺很輕鬆一樣，我醒來反而是惡夢的開始。”——內德•威茲尼。

　　If you are prone to depression, this feeling probably sounds familiar to you. Depressed and sad people have a tendency to sleep in but it's not the solution. Exercise is a better option.

　　如果你容易鬱悶，這種感覺，你聽起來可能感覺很熟悉。抑鬱和傷心的人願意睡覺，但睡覺不能解決問題，鍛鍊才是更好的選擇。

　　3. Serious disease

　　3. 重病

　　Chronic depression isn't just bad feeling. It's a sign that you need a professional help. If you see someone feeling depressed all the time, don't ignore them. It's crucial that people start treating depression as a serious disease and consult doctor when they can't find the way out.

　　Barbara Kingsolver said it better than me, “There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, ‘There now, hang on, you'll get over it.’ Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.”

　　長期抑鬱不僅僅是感覺不好，這表明你需要專業的幫助。如果你看見某個人總是很鬱悶，不要不當回事。人們要開始把抑鬱當成重病來對待，這很重要，自己解決不了時要諮詢醫生。

　　4. A cage without a key

　　芭芭拉•金索佛說得比我好：“把抑鬱當悲傷來對待，就只是跟他說‘沒事，堅持住，你能挺過去的’，這樣沒有任何意義。傷心有點像頭痛，只要有耐心你就能挺過去，而抑鬱卻像癌症。”

　　As Elizabeth Wurtzel profoundly said, “That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key.” The only thing I can add is to stay strong and don't feel ashamed to seek help… Like she said we are strong enough to survive anything, depression is no exception.

　　4. 沒有鑰匙的牢籠

　　5. There’s always hope

　　伊麗莎白•沃澤爾意味深長地說道：“抑鬱就是這樣的：一個人能捱過任何事，只要她能見到曙光。但抑鬱很狡猾，它每天都在加劇，根本看不到盡頭。這團迷霧就像是沒有鑰匙的牢籠。”我唯一需要補充的是要堅強，不要羞於向別人求助……如她所說，我們很堅強能捱過任何事，抑鬱也不例外。

　　Unfortunately, most depressed people refuse to ask for help. Whether they don't recognize their problem or they wish to get rid of it, they believe telling someone about their feelings is a shame. It's not, actually. Many celebrities and ordinary people consult doctors when they feel depressed and they don't feel ashamed. It's life.

　　5. 總會有希望

　　Hopefully, Howie Mandel's quote will inspire you to ask for help: “There isn't anybody out there who doesn't have a mental health issue, whether it's depression, anxiety, or how to cope with relationships. Having OCD is not an embarrassment anymore – for me. Just know that there is help and your life could be better if you go out and seek the help.”

　　不幸的是，很多抑鬱的人不願意尋求幫助。無論是沒意識到自己問題的人，還是希望擺脫抑鬱的人，都認為告訴別人自己的感受很丟臉。其實不然。很多名人和普通人抑鬱時都會諮詢醫生，他們並不覺得丟人。這就是生活。

　　Depression is a harsh feeling. When you recognize all the symptoms and ask for help at once, though, you can feel better in a matter of a week. Love yourself. Don't let anyone hurt you. Surround yourself with positive people. Do what makes you happy. And nourish your positive attitude on a daily basis. These are tiny pieces of advice I can give you.

　　所幸，霍伊•曼德爾的話能鼓勵你去求助：“沒有什麼人沒有精神方面的問題，無論遇到的是抑鬱、焦慮或是如何處理人際關係的問題，對我而言，有強迫症也不再是尷尬的事，你只需知道如果你去求助，就有人會幫你，你的生活也會變得更好。”

　　抑鬱是一種酷刑，你一發現自己有抑鬱的症狀就要馬上尋求幫助，一週左右你就會恢復。要愛你自己，不要讓任何人傷害你。要和積極的人在一起，做能讓自己開心的事，每天培養積極態度。以上就是我能給你的幾條小建議。

　　篇三

　　勇敢跳出舒適區!7種方式挑戰自己

　　There’s this famous quote that can spark an interest to challenge yourself within you:

　　下面這句名言或許能激發你挑戰自我的興趣：

　　“If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you.” Unknown

　　“如果你做的事情毫無挑戰，那麼你也將毫無改變。”——無名氏

　　Of course, since every one of us has room for improvement, this can also mean if you don’t change yourself, then you can’t be responsible for changing your situation in life. You can never see any improvement in your life if you stick to your comfort zone. We all need a healthy dose of normal stress in our lives, after all. We can only see what we’re really capable of if we make the effort to go over our pre-conceived limits. Don’t limit the challenges you encounter in life - challenge the limits that your “lizard brain” crafted instead:

　　當然，每個人都有提高的空間。這也表示，如果不改變自己，你也就無法改變你的生活境況。如果沉溺在舒適區，你永遠也不會看到生活有所改觀。要知道，生活中我們都需要適量的正常壓力。只有努力戰勝預想的極限，我們才能發現自己真正擅長什麼。不要限制生活中遇到的挑戰——而應挑戰大腦設定的各種極限。

　　1. Learn a new language.

　　學一門新語言。

　　Hangul, Nihonggo, French, Filipino, Mandarin, Spanish: these are just some of the languages you can discover as you strive to challenge yourself. Learning a new language isn’t just another way to pad your resume; if you really get into it, you can even use this skill to tutor on the side and earn extra cash.

　　韓語、日語、法語、菲律賓語、漢語、西班牙語：當你準備挑戰自己時，可以嘗試學習這些語言。學一門新語言並不只是為了豐富簡歷;如果你全心投入，或許還能靠這個技能做家教掙點小錢。

　　2. Figure out what you’re scared of – and do it for one week consistently.

　　弄清自己害怕什麼，然後堅持嘗試一週。

　　If you’re in sales, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, then you have a problem. You can’t just relate with your clients online, can you? Now, instead of crippling in fear and automatically thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call to a prospect. Yes, it’s scary. Yes, you may embarrass yourself. And yes, someone may hang up on you. But don’t stop on the first try just yet! You’ll get the hang of it eventually. After a while, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I’m not scared!”

　　如果你從事銷售工作，卻很害怕跟人當面或電話交談，那可就有問題了。你不能只通過網路聯絡客戶，對吧?現在，不要再畏縮害怕，不要再不自覺地認為會做不好，每天至少花5分鐘拿起電話聯絡某個潛在客戶吧。沒錯，這讓你感到害怕。沒錯，你可能會出糗。而且，也會有人結束通話你的電話。但是，千萬不要剛嘗試就放棄!因為最後你肯定能做到的。不久，你就能直面恐懼並告訴自己：“來吧，我不怕!”

　　3. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to pursue.

　　報培訓班學習一直想發展的愛好。

　　Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and de-stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and graphic designing online.

　　確定這個愛好跟工作無關;在從事這項愛好時，你必須能夠解壓放鬆。類似愛好可以是烹飪、縫紉、繪畫或網路平面設計。

　　Aside from helping you challenge yourself now, taking a class for your hobby can also give you extra income if you learn how to monetize it. ***You get plus points if you take the class with a loved one. This way, you combine bonding, boosting your income and challenging yourself.***

　　如果你懂一點生財之道的話，參加愛好培訓班除了能幫你挑戰自我，還可以為你帶來額外收入。***如果你是和心愛的人一起參加，你不僅能挑戰自我、賺外快，還可以增進彼此感情。***

　　4. Attend one career-related seminar a month.

　　每月參加一場職場類研討會。

　　Don’t settle for your current job position. Aim high in your career. Of course, with that aim, include in your action, too. Book conferences that are relevant to the industry of your profession. There, absorb the lesson. Ask sensible questions. And don’t forget to connect with the attendees and the keynote speakers. Sometimes, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know,” may be a reality.

　　不要滿足於當下的職位。將職業目標定高一些。當然，除了目標，還要拿出行動來。預定和自己職業行業有關的會議，然後在會上多加學習，多提合理問題，並且，別忘了和其他與會者以及重要發言人保持聯絡。有時候，現實就是“重點不在於你知道什麼知識，而在於你認識什麼人”。

　　5. Make a realistic budget and find out how you can cut back on something so you can invest more.

　　制定合理預算，想辦法削減某些部分，以便加大對其他方面的投資。

　　Challenge yourself to step out of your current budget and develop a better budget for yourself. Money management is not about what you make – it’s what you do with what you make.

　　挑戰自己拋開現在的預算，然後制定一個更好的。財務管理不在於你能掙多少錢，而在於你能用掙到的錢幹什麼。

　　- So, produce a budget on paper, or in an Microsoft Excel file.

　　所以，在紙上制定一個預算吧，用Excel也可以。

　　- Identify the item you’ve been spending so much money on.

　　找出自己開銷比較大的方面。

　　- Cut back on that item so you have more money to put in your emergency fund or in your investment fund.

　　然後削減在那方面的開銷，這樣你就有更多錢用來投資到應急基金或投資基金裡了。

　　6. Dedicate at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.

　　每天至少花9分鐘鍛鍊身體。

　　You don’t need to go to the gym, you know. A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood or an intense dance routine done in your living-room can do wonders for yourself. Aside from the obvious reason that exercise can help you maintain your regular weight or shed those unnecessary pounds, it can also aid in making you feel better about yourself by releasing endorphins.

　　要知道，你不一定非去健身館不可。繞著小區跑步9分鐘或者在臥室集中跳一段熱舞，其實也能幫你維持正常體重或甩掉贅肉，而且還可以通過釋放內啡肽讓你感覺良好。

　　7. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.

　　旅行——敞開心胸認識新朋友。

　　We’re not talking about the expensive kind of travelling here. Something cost-effective like going to your local museum or visiting the resort in the next city can all count as travelling! Here, don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers – try to connect with the service staff, like the lifeguard, or the receptionist, or the tour guide. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. Start now and learn to challenge yourself from time to time. We all need a little push once in a while.

　　這裡說的不是那種要花大把銀子的旅行。像參觀本地博物館或鄰市旅遊景點這種花錢少的方式，也可以稱為旅行!請不要只去認識同行的人——試試搭訕一下救生員、接待員或導遊等服務人員吧。你永遠不知道自己將會認識什麼樣的人呢。到外面或在網上報班學習吧。現在就開始學習時不時地挑戰自己。我們都需要時不時地推一把。
