短篇励志英语美文篇1
找寻自己find yourself
who are we? that is the first question. it’s a question that’s almost impossible to answer.
我们到底是谁?这是我们要解答的第一个问题，是一个几乎回答不了的问题
but we all agree that one’s busy or daily self is not quite one’s real self. we’re quite sure that we’ve lost something in the course of just making our living.。
但是我们都同意这一点，那个每天在日常生活中奔忙的自己，并不是我们真实的自己。我们都很清楚，我们在为生计奔波的过程中失去了某些东西。
a crowd is watching a person running about looking for something in a field, and a wise man asks, “what has that person lost?” someone may guess a watch, another a diamond ring. when everyone has guessed, the wise man who like everyone else there has no idea, says, “i’ll tell you one thing for sure. he’s lost some breath.”
当一群人看着一个人在田野中奔跑着寻找某个东西时，智者向他们出了一个谜题：“那个人到底丢失了什么?”有个人认为是一块手表，另一个人认为是一枚钻石戒指。其他人也有不同的答案，智者也不知道那个人丢失了什么，但他却说：“我可以明确地告诉你们一件事，他丢失了一些生命力。”
and no one can deny that he’s right. the point is that we often forget our true selves in pursuit of things that are external1 to us, like a bird forgetting its own danger in pursuit of a mantis, which in turn forgets its own danger in pursuit of some other prey.
没有人认为智者所言是错的。其实我们经常在为生计奔波时忘记了我们自己，就像一只鸟在捕捉螳螂时忘记了自己的安危，相应地，螳螂在捕捉它的猎物时也忘记了自己的安危。
英文美文是：
别以为你很重要，没了你我照样活，活的更精彩。
Don't think you're very important. I'll still live without you. It's more wonderful.
越是忧愁则越忧愁，越是烦恼则越烦恼。
The more you worry, the more you worry. The more you worry, the more you worry.
I believe there is a person who brings sunshine into your life. That person may have enough to spread around. But if you really have to wait for someone to bring you the sun and give you a good feeling, then you may have to wait a long time.
【翻译】
相信会有一个人把阳光带进你的生活中是可以的。那个人也许会有足够的东西去四处传播。但是,如果你真的要等别人带给你阳光,带给你美好的感受,那你也许要等上很长的时间。
Nothing is to be got without pain but poverty，世上唯有贫穷可以不劳而获。或者是God helps those who help themselves，自助者天助.
我们身披撒满阳光的羽翼 置身于青春的驿站 以一腔彭湃的热血 用迎接太阳的双手推开光明与希望之门 为了找寻青春岁月的光芒 我们无数次背负着理想伴着子夜的钟声出洋溢澎湃的激情前行 追寻属于我们青春的辉煌 也许青春之路很漫长 前进的道路上会充满坎坷与荆棘 但我们能以理想为经 以行动为纬 朝着远方的目标不懈地跋涉在时光的隧道里 用犀利的目光将天空钻出蔚蓝 让激动的心似利箭般射穿无尽的苍穹射向高高远远的宇宙 坚守到生命最后的时刻 希望的钟声敲响着黎明时空相信每个早晨的阳光会使天空更加灿烂相信理想的烈焰正旺 相信青春的灯火正亮 定会照亮有志青年不懈的追求之路
As you slowly open your eyes, look around, notice where the light comes into your room; listen carefully, see if there are new sounds you can recognize; feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air.
Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day! And most importantly, it’s a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new decisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented(空前的) level.
In your mind’s eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire（励志） to reach.
You can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream. You can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes. You can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being!
You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate and committed!(效忠的) And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed!
You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways, approaching new people, and asking new questions.
You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You will never succumb(屈服,屈从) to challenges of hardships.
You will never waver(动摇) in your pursuit of excellence. After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best!
As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part. You must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan; you must never quit and you must never fear. I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed! Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out:
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!
I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!

师生恩，父母情
“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖”，父亲的严辞责备中承戴着无限的希冀，母亲的温柔呵护里蕴含着无限的关爱，是他们用勤劳的双臂支撑起一座遮风撑雨的家，是他们用成热的心护爱着嫩幼的儿女，浓情化不开的爱啊！让孩子们一辈子也走不出您那双饱含深情的眼睛。我虽不能做出惊天动地的举动，但也不志在母亲节送一个束康乃馨，在父亲节挂上一个电话，深情地说一声：爸妈辛苦了！
