Courage
勇气
The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less amagnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must in spite ofpersonal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures and thatis the basis of all human morality.
生活之中的勇气,通常不会像千钧一发时的勇气那样充满戏剧性;但他人不失为是一个胜利与悲剧的壮观组合。一个人将个人得失,障碍、危险还有压力抛在脑后,只是做他必须做的,而这便是人类一切道德的基础。
To be courageous…requires no exceptional qualifications, no magic formula, no special combination of time, place andcircumstance. It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all.Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests of courage. In whatever arena of life, one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may bethe sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience, the loss of his friends,his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men, each man must decidefor himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can definethat ingredient, they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provideinspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must lookinto his own soul.
勇敢,不需要突出的品质,不需要秘诀,不需要天时地利,每个人或早或晚都有机会。政治不过是对勇气进行特别考验的一个竞技场而已,在人生的每一个竞技场上勇气都会前来挑战。如果你跟随你的良心,那么任何东西都可能被牺牲:朋友,财产,满足,甚至是别人对你的尊重。走哪条路只能由自己来决定。前人的故事可以告诉你什么叫勇敢。他们能够教你,能够给你希望和灵感,但不能给你真正的勇气,要得到它你必须要发掘自己的灵魂。

The Gift Of Love
爱的天赋
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
就算我能说万人的方言和天使的话语,但如果没有爱,我不过就如鸣锣一般;就算我有预知未来的能力,就算我精通各种知识和奥秘,就算我有坚定的信念,但如果没有爱,我就什么都算不上;就算我拿所有的财物周济穷人,就算我能做出舍己为人的壮举,但如果没有爱,我仍将一无所有。
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
爱是一种忍耐,爱是一种友善;爱不是嫉妒,不是自大,不是鲁莽,不是固执己见,不是轻易发怒。爱意味着憎恶不义,赞赏真理;爱意味着包容一切,相信一切,对生活充满希望,并能忍受生活中的一切。
Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end. For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end. When I was a child, I thought like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
爱是永无止境的,但又是有尽头的;就像知识一样,必将归于乌有。我们现在搜掌握的知识很有限,当我们掌握了完整的知识时,有限的知识必将归于乌有。当我还是一个孩子的时候,我像孩子一样说话,像孩子一样思考问题,像孩子一样推理;但我一旦成年,就不再像孩子一样了。现阶段,我们很多时候好像是从镜子里观看事物,对很多事物都看不清,但有朝一日我们会直面这些事物。现阶段,我知道的东西很有限,但有朝一日我会懂得一切。如今,常存在人们心中的东西有三样:信念、希望和爱,而其中爱是最重要的!

Ambition
抱负
It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: without demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity. Competition would never enter in, conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. The family would become super fluous as social unit, with all its former power for bringing about neurosis drained away, Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.
一个缺乏抱负的世界将会怎样,这不难想象。或许,这将是一个更为友善的世界:没有渴求,没有磨擦,没有失望。人们将有时间进行反思。他们所从事的工作将不是为了他们自身,而是为了整个集体。竞争永远不会介入;冲突将被消除。人们的紧张关系将成为过往云烟。创造的重压将得以终结。艺术将不再惹人费神,其功能将纯粹为了庆典。作为社会单位的家庭及其所带来精神伤痛也将荡然无存,人的寿命将会更长,因为由激烈拼争引起的心脏病和中风所导致的死亡将越来越少。焦虑将会消失。时光流逝,抱负却早已远离人心。
Ah, how unrelieved boring life would be!
啊,长此以往人生将变得多么乏味无聊!
There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events now not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on one’s own. But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove allmotives for competence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity.
有一种盛行的观点认为,成功是一种神话,因此抱负亦属虚幻。这是不是说实际上并不丰在成功?成就本身就是一场空?与诸多运动和事件的力量相比,男男女 女的努力显得微不足?显然,并非所有的成功都值得景仰,也并非所有的抱负都值得追求。对值得和不值得的选择,一个人自然而然很快就能学会。但即使是最为愤世嫉俗的人暗地里也承认,成功确实存在,成就的意义举足轻重,而把世上男男女 女的所作所为说成是徒劳无功才是真正的无稽之谈。认为成功不存在的观点很可能造成混乱。这种观点的本意是一笔勾销所有提高能力的动机,求取业绩的兴趣和对子孙后代的关注。
We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historicalepoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what istrivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.
我们无法选择出生,无法选择父母,无法选择出生的历史时期与国家,或是成长的周遭环境。我们大多数人都无法选择死亡,无法选择死亡的时间或条件。但是在这些无法选择之中,我们的确可以选择自己的生活方式:是勇敢无畏还是胆小怯懦,是光明磊落还是厚颜无耻,是目标坚定还是随波逐流。我们决定生活中哪些至关重要,哪些微不足道。我们决定,用以显示我们自身重要性的,不是我们做了什么,就是我们拒绝做些什么。但是不论世界对我们所做的选择和决定有多么漠不关心,这些选择和决定终究是我们自己做出的。我们决定,我们选择。而当我们决定和选择时,我们的生活便得以形成。最终构筑我们命运的就是抱负之所在。

BOOKS 书籍
As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things.They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character.In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends.This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books.It is true that we can derive benefits from good books.However, bad books will do us more harm than good.
如众所周知,书籍教我们学习人生,真理,科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识,扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说,它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。
读书是一好事,但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错,我们能从好书中获得益处。然而,坏书却对我们有害无益。

Learn to Live in the Present
学会活在当下
To a large degree, the measure of our peaceof mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment.Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may nothappen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are -- always!
在很大程度上,我们内心的平和取决于我们在多大程度上享受眼前的生活。不管昨天或去年发生了什么,也不管明天将会发生什么或不会发生什么,现实才是你所在之处——生活就是这样。
Without question, many of us have masteredthe neurotic art of spending much our lives worrying about a variety of things-- all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate ourpresent moments, so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, andhopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our statedpriorities, and our happiness, often convincing ourselves future will be betterthan today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look towardthe future will only repeat themselves so that "someday" neveractually arrives. John Lennon once said, "Life is what’s happening whilewe’re busy making other plans." When we’re busy making "otherplans", our children are busy growing up, the people we love are movingaway and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams areslipping away. In short, we miss out on life.
毫无疑问,在我们的生活中,许多人总是这样的神经兮兮,他们担心各种各样的事情,而且会突然之间担心许多事情。我们让过去与未来的问题支配我们现有的时间,以致于整日焦躁不安、委靡不振、精神沮丧甚至感到绝望。另一方面,我们又永远不让自己满足、享有优先权和幸福感,而且还经常说服自己将来会比今天好。不幸的是是,同样的告诉我们去展望未来的精神动力,它只是不断重复自己,以致于“某一天”永远不能到来。约翰·列侬曾说:“生活就是我们忙于制订其他计划时所发生的事。”当我们忙于制订“其他计划”时,我们的孩子忙于成长,我们所爱之人远离、并撒手尘寰,我们体型走样了,我们的梦想消失了。总之,我们错过了人生的大好光阴。
Many people live as if life were a dressrehearsal for some later date. It isn’t. In fact, no one has a guarantee thathe or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the onlytime that we have any control over. When our attention is in the presentmoment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that mighthappen in the future -- we won’t have enough money, our children will get intotrouble, we will get old and die, whatever.
许多人活着,他们的生活就像未来日子的一次时装彩排。然而,并非如此。事实上,没有人能确保他或她明天还在。现在是我们拥有的惟一时间,是惟一能够把握的时间。当我们的注意力集中于现在时,我们便能消除恐惧。恐惧是我们对未来事情的担心,比如我们没有足够的钱,我们的孩子会惹上麻烦,我们会变老,会离开人世,如此等等,不胜枚举。
