勵志經典的英語美文 帶翻譯

　　學習英語可以是一個枯燥的過程，也可以是一個有趣的過程。小編在此獻上經典英語美文，希望對大家喜歡。

　　勵志美文：人生如此精彩，永不輕言放棄

　　Not until you realize that life itself is a beautiful thing will you really start to live. Although living combines tragedy with splendor, life is beautiful and even tragedies reflect something engaging. If you were simply to live, do more than that; live beautifully.

　　只有在你了解了人生的真諦后，才能真正地生活。雖然人生苦憂參半，但依舊美妙，而且即使在悲劇中也藏著迷人之處。如果你只是活著，那就再努力點吧，試著活得精彩。

　　Through the sea of darkness, hope is the light that brings us comfort, faith, and reassurance. It guides our way if we are lost and gives us a foothold on our fears. The moment we lose hope is the moment we surrender our will to live. We live in a world that is disintegrating into a vicious hatred, where hope is needed more than ever but cannot be discerned. Finding that is rare while the world lives in fear, but the belief in something better, something bigger than this, is what keeps life worth living.

　　在潮水般的黑暗之中，希望是光。它帶來舒適、信仰和信心。它在我們迷失時給予指引，在我們恐懼時給予支持。而在我們放棄希望的那一刻，也就放棄了生命。我們生活的世界正瓦解成一個充滿惡意和仇恨的地方，在這里我們就更需要希望，卻又難以尋得。在這充滿恐懼的世界里，找到希望談何容易，但是，對更好、更有意義的人生的信仰才會讓生命有意義。

　　Then you hear a baby speaking her first word, you see seniors holding hands, you feel the first spring rain, or smell the pine tree at Christmas, and remember that no matter how awful it is, there is always hope. No matter how weak we are, we will always survive.

　　然后，你聽到嬰兒說出第一個字、看到老年夫婦挽起對方的手、感受到第一場春雨或是聞到圣誕節(jié)松樹的味道，你要明白，無論現在多么糟糕，希望永在;無論我們多么脆弱，我們終將是人生的幸存者。

　　美文欣賞：獨處≠孤獨：學會自我陪伴 更會與人相處

　　I take myself on dates. I go to the movies alone. I wander museums alone. I eat meals alone (and yes, that means I resist all temptation to scroll through Instagram while waiting for my meal). I sit in coffee shops and journal alone. I take the train and go to new towns and walk around alone.

　　我跟自己去約會：我獨自看電影，獨自在博物館閑逛，獨自吃飯(是的，這是說在等待飯菜上來時，我抵制住所有刷Instagram的誘惑)。我坐在咖啡館里，獨自寫著日志。我一個人乘火車，前往新的城鎮(zhèn)，然后獨自在那里四處走走玩玩。

　　I realize this may sound super dorky. You're probably thinking that I must be pretty weird and very lonely. Interestingly enough, I was way more lonely before I started spending time alone. The feeling like I needed to be around people all the time to take a deep breath -- that was loneliness. The feeling of complete anxiety and fear when a boyfriend broke up with me -- that was loneliness. But this? This is peace. This is fun. This is what self-esteem is built of. Here's how I learned to spend time alone.

　　我意識到也許這聽起來超級蠢。你很可能會想，我肯定十分怪異、非常寂寞。有趣的是，我在開始獨自生活前是更加孤單的。那種就像我需要一直跟別人待在一起才能做深呼吸的感覺，是孤單。男朋友跟我分手，那種極為焦慮恐慌的感受，是寂寞。但現在這種場景呢?這是平靜，是趣味，是構建自信心的基礎。以下是我學會獨處的方法。

　　1. I just did it. And let go of trying to look "cool".

　　1. 我只是一個人獨處，并不去想怎么盡量看起來酷。

　　2. Make a list of your favorite things. And don't wait for anyone.

　　2. 列出你最愛的事物，不要等任何人跟你一起去踐行。

　　3. Schedule It. And don't cancel on yourself.

　　3. 計劃時間，不要取消與自己的約會。

　　For the past year, I've been single by choice. Not by circumstance. Not because no one will ask me out or I can't find anyone eligible. It's hard for some people to believe that I am choosing not to date, and I often get weird looks and confused grunts from my old aunt and college friends alike. Why would someone voluntarily choose to stay single? To spend time alone? Aren't I missing out on life by not going on Tinder dates? What if The One is out there but I don't catch him because I'm too busy staying single?

　　過去一年中，我選擇保持單身。這不是因為環(huán)境因素，不是因為沒人約我出去或是我不能找到合適人選。有些人很難相信我選擇不去約會。大姨和大學同學們老是對我投以怪異的眼神和不解地咕噥。為什么會有人愿意保持單身?愿意獨自一人消磨時光?沒有繼續(xù)在Tinder(網絡交友平臺)上相親的我，難道不是錯過了生活(的樂趣)嗎?要是我命中注定的另一半就在Tinder上，但我因為忙著保持單身而錯過了他，那怎么辦?

　　I'm not the slightest bit embarrassed to say out loud that I've been dating myself and it's been the most nurturing, sustainable, and non-anxiety inducing relationship I've ever had. There's no waiting to be texted back (or obsessing about if my text is too flirty, too needy, too wordy), and there's no feeling like another person just doesn't understand me.

　　大聲說出我正和自己相約，一點也不讓我尷尬，而且它是我所有的關系中最滋養(yǎng)人、最持久也最不會引發(fā)焦慮的。我不需要等待他人的回復(或是費神考慮我的短信是否太過輕浮、有求于人或是冗長啰嗦)，另外我也不會再有那種就是有人無法明白我的感覺了。

　　That doesn't mean I don't plan on dating other people in future -- I definitely do. But I know now that the relationship I've built with myself is a model for the relationship I want to be in. I'm kind and patient and gentle and loving and forgiving of myself. I laugh at my mistakes and I let go of my errors. I am strong and courageous. That's the kind of person I want to be with and the type of relationship I hope to be in.

　　這不意味著我將來不打算談戀愛(我當然會談啦)。可我如今明白，與自己建立的這種關系是我想要與另一半相處的模式。我友善、耐心、溫柔、友愛又寬容。我對自己犯的錯誤一笑了之。我強大而勇敢。這便是我想要的對象，也是我希望同他建立起的戀愛關系。

　　I know now that I'm not going into the relationship as a half, I'm going in as a whole. So whether it works out or doesn't work out, deep down, I haven't lost anything. I'm still me. I'm still complete. I still have the friendship I've built with the me that I've grown to know and love over the past 23 years. That's the greatest relief I've ever known.

　　我現在知道了，我不會在戀愛關系中有所保留，而將會是全身心投入。因此無論這段關系是否有好的結果，在內心深處我都沒有任何損失。我仍然是我自己，我仍然完好無損，我同自己建立起的友誼依舊存在，那是我在過去23年中漸漸了解并愛上的。這便是我所知的最大欣慰。

　　勵志美文：4種方法讓迷失彷徨的你找到方向

　　We all get confused at times, but prolonged periods of confusion can cause us to feel that we are stuck in a never-ending, foggy web of uncertainty.

　　人人都有迷失之時，但過久地陷于其中只能讓我們覺得被困在迷茫無盡的不確定中。

　　To those who are currently caught up in the web of confusion, this may not make sense just yet, but stick with me.

　　對于正陷于困惑中的人，這些建議可能暫時不奏效，不過請堅持下去。

　　Here is what you can do to overcome your confusion and find the joy:

　　以下就是攻克迷茫、找到快樂的方法：

　　1. Accept where you are.

　　1、接受自己

　　Accept the fog, accept the confusion and accept the feelings of "stuckness." This is usually a sign that more information needs to be delivered before you can move forward.

　　接受迷茫、困惑，接受這種陷于其中的狀態(tài)。這通常是一個信號，說明你需要獲得更多的信息來走出去。

　　2. Take a deep breath.

　　2、深呼吸

　　Center yourself, and firmly state, "I don't know what to do, and that is okay." When you firmly state your uncertainty, you move out of the fog. The more you focus on your certainty, the more at peace you will feel with where you are at.

　　集中精神，堅定地說：“我知道該怎么做，這是對的。”當你堅定地講出你的不確定，便能走出迷茫。你越是關注你所確信的東西，也就對自己的處境感到越平和。

　　3. Focus on what you know.

　　3、關注你所了解的

　　When you are confused it can be easy to get stuck in a web of consistent, repetitive thoughts that appear to have no end and no beginning. To clear this, start focusing on what you know and what you feel sure about. When you do this, it will automatically help to weaken the cloud of confusion over your life.

　　當你困惑時，很容易陷入持續(xù)反復、沒頭沒尾的想法中去。要清除這些想法，就要專注于你所了解的、確信的東西。這有助于逐漸消散你生活中的困惑。

　　4. Be patient.

　　4、要有耐心

　　Being confused is a sign of change and you may need to let the journey unfold a little bit more before you make a decision. Be at peace with that, and be at peace with the fact that you don’t have all the answers. Just accept the way things are and trust that inspiration will reach you when the time comes to make a decision.

　　困惑也是一種改變信號，也許你需要把眼前的道路看得更清楚一些，才能作出決定。用平常心看待它，也要接受你無法擁有所有的答案。接受萬物本來的樣子，相信當你做決定時，靈感自然會浮現。

　　The beauty about being stuck and confused in life is that there really is no wrong turn or wrong path.

　　人生陷于困惑的美妙之處，就在于沒有對錯。

　　Every road traveled is a blessing in some way, so take the stress out of life's decisions and trust that all roads really do lead home.

　　你走的任何一條路都是一種恩賜，所以不要對人生抉擇有過多壓力，請相信任何一條路都能帶你走向心之所屬。
