雙語閱讀:今生只有你不可取代
以下是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編整理的哲理類英語美文欣賞:今生只有你不可取代, 希望對(duì)你有所感觸。
As a teenager,I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious1 out-side,but I wantedto be liked inside.
當(dāng)我還是個(gè)10幾歲的少年的時(shí)候,覺得自己總是讓人失望。從外表上看,我似乎很叛逆,但是在內(nèi)心深處,我是如此地渴望被人疼愛。
Once I left home to hitch-hike2 to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn't easy,andthere were many times I didn't feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still bealive. When I returned home,I was different,not so outwardly sure of myself.
有一次我離開了家和我的朋友佩內(nèi)洛普搭便車去了加利福尼亞。這次旅行并不輕松,而且有很多次我感覺不安。有一次的突發(fā)狀況讓我一直慶幸自己還活著。回到家,我發(fā)覺自己變了,看上去不那么自信了。
I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope,who was staying with us,waswearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would bemissed if I weren't there. I told my mom,and she explained that though Penelope was a lovelygirl,no one could replace me. I pointed out,"She is more patient and is neater than I haveever been." My mom said these were wonderful qualities,but I was the only person who couldfill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults-and there were many-I was a lovedmember of the family who couldn't be replaced.
我很高興能回到家,但不久我注意到和我們一起的佩內(nèi)洛普穿著我的衣服,而且我父母看上去更喜歡她,我想知道如果我不在家的話他們是否會(huì)想念我。后來,我把我的想法告訴了母親,她說盡管佩內(nèi)洛普是個(gè)可愛的女孩,但她始終不能取代我,我說:"她比我有耐心而且無論何時(shí)看上去她都比我要整潔大方。"母親說這些都是非常好的優(yōu)點(diǎn),但我卻是惟一個(gè)能扮演好自己角色的人。母親讓我感到盡管我有缺點(diǎn)——似乎還很多——但是,我被家中每一個(gè)人愛著,誰也無法取代。
I became a searcher,wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view ofmyself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist3 pressure to actin ways that I didn't like any more,and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel muchmore sure that no one can ever take my place.
我成了一個(gè)探尋者,想要知道自己到底是誰,又是什么讓我變得獨(dú)一無二。我的人生觀開始改變。我需要一個(gè)堅(jiān)固的基礎(chǔ)來發(fā)展,我忍受住壓力,不再做自己不喜歡做的事。而且我為真實(shí)的我感到高興。漸漸地我越發(fā)肯定自己無可替代。
Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special,no matter what others say orwhat you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can't be.
每個(gè)人在這個(gè)世界上都占有一個(gè)獨(dú)一無二的位置。無論別人說什么,你自己怎么想,你都是特別的。所以,不要擔(dān)心自己會(huì)被取代,因?yàn)槟阌肋h(yuǎn)是惟一的。
