In the 1800's, the family of Ephrussis bankers lit up the Parisienne and Venetian world in similar fashion to the Vanderbilts and Morgans of the Roaring '20s. History students who enjoy a mixture of royal and peasant life stories will want to read this multiple award-winning account.
19世紀(jì)，從事銀行業(yè)的伊弗魯西家族在巴黎和維也納煊赫一時(shí)，就像“咆哮的二十年代”時(shí)期的范德貝爾特家族和摩根家族那樣?；始屹F族的生活和窮苦農(nóng)民的日子交織在一起，喜歡這類主題的歷史學(xué)生會(huì)想讀一讀這本優(yōu)秀的史實(shí)記錄作品。

Hillary:"Our Divided Political Heart," by E.J. Dionne, shows how most everybody has some conservative and liberal impulses, but just as individuals have to reconcile them within ourselves, so does our political system if we expect to function productively.
希拉里：E·J·迪翁的《我們分裂的政治之心》，這本書展現(xiàn)了大多數(shù)人是怎樣同時(shí)懷有保守的想法和自由的沖動(dòng)的。但是正如個(gè)體不得不在內(nèi)心對(duì)二者進(jìn)行平衡，如果我們期望政治系統(tǒng)高效運(yùn)行，也需要一樣的平衡。——摘自《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》采訪

The positive aftermath of the 2007 financial crisis, or credit crunch, was to show the fragility andinterconnected threads binding global governments and businesses together. This book explains complex and world-affecting financial trends such as Quantitative Easing without requiring its readers to become professors of economics or history.
2007年金融危機(jī)后的巨大余波，或者“信貸緊縮”，展現(xiàn)了將全球政府與商業(yè)捆綁在一起的絲線是何等脆弱而又錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜。這本書解釋了很多像“量化寬松”這樣復(fù)雜且能影響全世界的金融趨勢(shì)，卻不要求讀者變成經(jīng)濟(jì)或歷史方面的教授。
8. "The Color Purple" By Alice Walker
艾麗斯·沃克著《紫顏色》
"Alice Walker tackles some of society's most vexing issues—race, gender and violence—through amemorable protagonist named Celie. The story of her growing up as a victim of abuse, and her ongoing journey of self-discovery, is a brutally honest assessment of human nature at its best and worst."- Hillary Clinton for The Oprah Magazine
“艾麗斯·沃克觸及到了一些社會(huì)上最惱人的問(wèn)題——種族、性別和暴力，而這一切是通過(guò)令人難忘的主角茜莉的視角寫出來(lái)的。作為一位受虐者，她的成長(zhǎng)故事以及不斷進(jìn)行的自我探索之旅，赤裸裸地展現(xiàn)了人性最好的一面和最惡的一面。”——摘自《奧普拉雜志》中希拉里·克林頓的話
For a book titled after a royal color, there seems to be no hint of greatness or glamor about Celie's life. Celie and Nettie’s struggle to live as worthwhile human beings in a world that tries to reject them, andforge a future, is inspirational.
雖然該書以一種尊貴的顏色命名，書中茜莉的生活卻沒(méi)有一絲偉大或榮耀之處。茜莉和南蒂在一個(gè)企圖拒絕她們的世界中奮力掙扎，努力活成有價(jià)值的人，并開創(chuàng)美好的未來(lái)，這是非常鼓舞人心的。
9. "Little Women" By Louisa May Alcott
路易莎·梅·奧爾科特著《小婦人》
"Like many women of my generation who read this novel growing up, I felt like I lived in Jo's family. This book was one of the first literary explorations of how women balance the demands of their daily lives, from raising families to pursuing outside goals. The book was written more than a century ago, but its message resonates today."- Hillary Clinton for The Oprah Magazine
“正如我們這一代許多讀著這本小說(shuō)長(zhǎng)大的女孩一樣，我感覺(jué)自己就像生活在喬的家中。這也是最早用文學(xué)解釋女人該如何平衡日常生活各種工作的一本書，從養(yǎng)家糊口到追求外在目標(biāo)。這本書寫于100多年前，但書中傳達(dá)的信息依然在今天回響。”——摘自《奧普拉雜志》中希拉里·克林頓的話
The adventures of Meg, Amy, and Beth were inspired by Alcott's real-life sisters; one married a fellow play-actor, one died of scarlet fever, and one showed her paintings at the Paris Salon. The result of their literary sister’s efforts has been made into countless plays and films, and even a ballet.
麥格、艾米和貝思的故事靈感來(lái)自?shī)W爾科特姐妹的真實(shí)生活;一位嫁給了戲劇演員同伴，一位死于猩紅熱，一位在巴黎沙龍開畫展。這群文學(xué)姐妹的努力生活已被改編成數(shù)不清的戲劇、電影，甚至還有一部芭蕾劇。
10. "The Clan of the Cave Bear" By Jean M. Auel
瓊·M·奧爾著《洞熊家族》
"This novel about life in prehistoric times is a rich blend of imagination and information about everything from plants that were used for medicine to the rituals and taboos of Neanderthal man. It is also about Ayla, a little girl who is orphaned when her parents are killed in an earthquake. Maybebecause I'm a mother, I was very moved by the story of her survival and growing up."- Hillary Clinton for The Oprah Magazine
“這部描寫史前生活的小說(shuō)既蘊(yùn)含了豐富的想象，又提供了各種信息，從藥用植物到尼安德特人的儀式和禁忌。主人公小女孩艾拉是一位在地震中失去雙親的孤兒，也許因?yàn)槲沂悄赣H的緣故，艾拉的生存和成長(zhǎng)故事深深地打動(dòng)了我。”——摘自《奧普拉雜志》中希拉里·克林頓的話
This novel could be termed 'Ayla and the Ice Age', since these are the primary protagonists of the story of disaster and survival. This is the first novel in a five-part Earth Children series.
這部小說(shuō)也可以被稱為“艾拉與冰河時(shí)代”，因?yàn)樗v述的是原始人與災(zāi)難抗?fàn)幰郧蟮蒙娴墓适?。這是“地球之子五部曲”中的第一部小說(shuō)。
11. "West with the Night" By Beryl Markham
柏瑞爾 ·馬卡姆著《夜航西飛》
"I can't get over the amount of daring, courage, self-confidence and determination it took to accomplish what Beryl Markham did in 1936, when she became the first person to fly solo, east to west across the Atlantic Ocean. This is a beautifully written life story of one of the greatest woman adventurers of all time, from her growing up in sub-Saharan Africa to her exploits as a pilot."- Hillary Clinton for The Oprah Magazine
“我深深地沉迷于柏瑞爾·馬卡姆身上表現(xiàn)出的大膽、勇氣、自信與決心，1936年，她憑借這些成為獨(dú)自自東向西飛躍大西洋的第一人。這是一本文筆優(yōu)美的書，主人公是有史以來(lái)最偉大的女探險(xiǎn)家之一，從她在黑非洲的成長(zhǎng)經(jīng)歷一直寫到她成為飛行員后取得的成績(jī)。”——摘自《奧普拉雜志》中希拉里·克林頓的話
First written in 1942, the 2010 reprint has captured the timeless appeal of man versus nature…only in this case, the plane-flying daredevil is female. Though Markham eventually spent her years as a horse trainer in Kenya, in her younger years, she became famous as the first female to fly nonstop across the Atlantic. Her courage would do credit to Ernest Hemingway's determination to face internal fears; she met him on safari.
這本書最早作于1942年， 2010年重印版本中捕捉到了不會(huì)因時(shí)間流逝而褪色的人與自然對(duì)抗的無(wú)窮魅力……只是這一回，無(wú)畏的飛行員是一位女性。盡管馬卡姆最終在肯尼亞作了數(shù)年馴馬師，但在她年輕的時(shí)候，她還是因成為第一位不間斷飛越大西洋的女性而聞名于世。她的勇氣要?dú)w功于厄內(nèi)斯特·海明威面對(duì)內(nèi)心恐懼的決心;她曾在非洲游獵中遇到他。

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(shí)，但過(guò)久地陷于其中只能讓我們覺(jué)得被困在迷茫無(wú)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(duì)于正陷于困惑中的人，這些建議可能暫時(shí)不奏效，不過(guò)請(qǐng)堅(jiān)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(lè)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(gè)信號(hào)，說(shuō)明你需要獲得更多的信息來(lái)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(jiān)定地說(shuō)：“我知道該怎么做，這是對(duì)的。”當(dāng)你堅(jiān)定地講出你的不確定，便能走出迷茫。你越是關(guān)注你所確信的東西，也就對(duì)自己的處境感到越平和。
3. Focus on what you know.
3、關(guān)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(dāng)你困惑時(shí)，很容易陷入持續(xù)反復(fù)、沒(méi)頭沒(méi)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(hào)，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(wú)法擁有所有的答案。接受萬(wàn)物本來(lái)的樣子，相信當(dāng)你做決定時(shí)，靈感自然會(huì)浮現(xiàn)。
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(méi)有對(duì)錯(cuò)。
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(duì)人生抉擇有過(guò)多壓力，請(qǐng)相信任何一條路都能帶你走向心之所屬。
