　　勵志英語美文：我看見的不是死衚衕

　　My professional training was in science and engineering. That is a training in the search for truth, and its application to the use of mankind. With a gloss of science we have a continuous contention from a tribe of atheistic~~ philosophers. That there is an implacable comment between science and religion, in which religion will be vanquished. I do not believe it.

　　I believe not only that religious faith will be victorious, but that it is vital to mankind that it shall be. We made differ in form and particular in our religious faith. Those are matters which are secret to each of our inner sanctuaries, but it is our ~ to the cline to arguer about it.

　　Their real demonstration is the life that we live. But there is one foundation common to all religious faith. Our discoveries in science have pulled that all the way from the galaxies in the heavens to the constitution of the atom. The universe is controlled by an inflexible law. Somewhere a supreme part created these laws. At some period, man was differentiated from the beasts and was endowed with a spirit from which bring his/ conscience, idealism and spiritual yearnings.

　　It is impossible to believe that there is not here a divine touch and the purpose from the creator of the universe. I believe we can express these things only in religious faith. From their religious faith, the founding fathers annunciated the most fundamental law of human progress since the sermon on the mount when they stated that man receive from the creator certain inalienable rights and that these rights should be protected from ~ of others by law and justice.

　　The ~ and atheistic philosophers have thought to declaim progress in terms of materialism alone. But from once came the morals, the spiritual yearnings, the faith, the aspirations to justice and freedom of mind, which have been the roots our progress always growing societies record their faith in God. Decaying societies lack faith and deny God. But America is not a decaying society, it remains strong. It’s faith is in compassion and in God's intelligent mercy.

　　勵志英語美文：出租司機也是人

　　I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts there is. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity and forthrightness. But it doesn’t make any difference what they call it; it’s still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by it.

　　我相信誠實是一件最棒的禮物。我知道如今他們給它取了許多好聽的名字，像正直和直率。但是怎麼稱呼並不重要，關鍵還在於怎樣才算一個好公民。這就是我的準則，我努力按這一準則生活。

　　I’ve been in the taxicab business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxicab drivers have to be rough and tumble fellows to be able to take it in New York. You’ve got to be tough to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day, these days.

　　我入計程車這一行已經三十五個年頭，知道這一行有很多不好的地方。的士司機得凶狠粗暴才能在紐約幹這一行。這年頭你得有副好身板兒才頂得住紐約一天八小時的交通戰。

　　Because taxi drivers are tough, people get the wrong impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will shake down as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week where a taxi driver turns in money or jewels or bonds, stuff like that, that people leave in their cabs.

　　由於態度粗暴，人們誤認為出租司機不是好人，其實，他們和其他人就沒啥區別。他們大多誠實，與人和睦相處。你幾乎每個星期都可以從報紙上知道某的士司機歸還了乘客掉在車裡的錢或珠寶或票據之類的東西。

　　If they weren’t honest, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers.One time in Brooklyn, I found an emerald ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of bundles that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her off. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn’t get as much as “thank you.” Still, I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.

　　要不是他們誠實，你沒法在報紙上讀到那些新聞。一次在布魯克林，我發現車裡有一枚祖母綠鑽戒，我記得那天幫一位女士拉了很多捆行李，所以我開回到她下車的地方，幾乎花了兩天時間才找到她，把戒指還給了她。我連個謝字也沒得到，還是感到很高興，因為我做了件好事。我想我比她更高興。

　　I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to this country in 1913 where I held several jobs to earn a few dollars before enlisting in World War Number I. After being discharged, I bought my own cab and have owned one ever since. It hasn’t been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day.

　　我生長在愛爾蘭，在那兒呆到十九歲。1913年來到這個國家，為了掙幾個錢幹了不少工作，一戰時當了兵，退伍之後自己買了輛出租，從此有了自己的車。有時日子不太容易，可我老婆精打細算，我們還存了些錢，以防有個什麼難處。

　　When I first started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer’s Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days.

　　剛開始開出租的時候，有錢人呆的派克大街幾乎全是一片煤場，胡弗啤酒廠正靠近現在的沃爾多夫·阿斯托里亞。就是在那些年頭我幹得也挺不錯。

　　In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks. Even if they get a little headstrong once in a while, I just agree with them and then they behave themselves.

　　開出租的這些年，我從沒和乘客有過糾紛，連給醉鬼開車也沒出過麻煩。就是他們偶爾有點轉不過彎，我也不和他們爭執，他們接下來就規規矩矩了。

　　People ask me about tips. As far as I know, practically everyone will give you something. Come to think of it, most Americans are pretty generous. I always try to be nice to everyone, whether they tip or not.I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish. I try to act toward others like I think God wants me to act. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try, the easier it gets.

　　有人問我小費的事。據我所知，實際上每個人都會給一點。想想吧，大多數美國人是很大方的。不管給不給小費，我都盡力好好為每位乘客服務。我信仰上帝，努力成為教區的好教民。我想上帝希望我怎麼對待別人，我就儘量怎麼對待別人。我堅持這樣做很長時間了，時間越久，這樣做就越容易。
