雙語美文：愛要及時說出口【1】
There was once a guy who suffered from cancer, a cancer that can't be cured. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.
曾有一男孩，患了不治之癌。他才18歲，但生命隨時會結束。一直以來，男孩都被困在屋子裡，由他的母親照料。男孩從未出去過，但他厭倦了一直窩在家裡，想出去走一走。男孩因此詢問他的母親，並得到了母親的同意。
He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.
男孩出了門，路過了許多家店。經過一家賣CD的音像店時他看了眼前門。男孩停了下來，並走回去又往店裡看了看。他看見一個漂亮的女孩，年齡大約和他一般大。男孩意識到他一眼就愛上了這女孩。他打開了這家店的門，走了進去，什麼也不看，就只看著她。男孩越走越近，直到來到這女孩坐著的前台。
She looked up and asked, "Can I help you?"
女孩抬起頭來問道：「有什麼需要幫忙的嗎？」
She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there.
女孩笑了笑，男孩認為這是他見過的最美麗的笑容，他甚至想當場就親吻這女孩。
He said, "Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD."
他說道：「呃…是的…嗯…我想買張CD。」
He picked one out and gave her money for it.
男孩隨便挑了一張出來並把錢遞給女孩。
"Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked, smiling her cute smile again.「
需要我幫你把它包起來嗎？」女孩問，臉上又露出可愛的微笑。
He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store.
男孩點了點頭，女孩走到前台的後面。回來的時候女孩拿著包裝好了的CD，交給了男孩。他拿了過來，然後走出了這家店。
He went home and from then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn't. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual. He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn't looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out...
男孩回到了家。從那以後，他每天都會來這家店，買一張CD，然後女孩就給他包裝起來。男孩把CD帶回家，放進他的衣櫥里。他還是很害羞，不敢把她約出來。他真的'很想，但是他做不到。男孩的母親知道了此事後，就告訴他，只管把她約出來就好了。於是第二天，男孩鼓起了全部的勇氣，像往常一樣來到了店裡。像過去那樣，他還是買了一張CD，而女孩也還是走到後面，回來的時候再把包裝好的CD交給他。男孩接了過來，趁女孩不注意，他把他的電話號碼留在了桌子上，然後跑了出去…
RRRRRING!!!
「鈴鈴鈴鈴鈴鈴…」
One day the phone rang, and the mother picked it up and said, "Hello?"
一天，電話響了起來。男孩的母親接起電話說道，「你好？」
It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said, "You don』t know? He passed away yesterday..."
是那個女孩！！！男孩的母親開始哭了起來，說道：「你不知道嗎？他昨天就去世了…」
The line was quiet except for the cries of the boy's mother. Later in the day, the mother went into the boy's room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet.
電話里安靜了下來，只聽到男孩母親啜泣的聲音。之後，男孩的母親來到了他的房間，緬懷她的兒子。男孩的母親想先看一看男孩的衣物。於是她打開了男孩的衣櫃。
She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
在她的面前，是一摞又一摞的CD。看到這么多的CD，男孩的母親感到很驚訝。她隨手拿出一張，坐在了男孩床上。她拆開了包裝，把CD拿了出來。一張紙條掉了出來。男孩的母親撿起了紙條，開始讀起來。上面寫著：你好…我覺得你真的很可愛。你想和我出去約會嗎？愛你的，喬瑟琳。
The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD...
男孩的母親被深深打動了，拆開了另一張CD…
Again there was a piece of paper. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.
又發現了另一張紙條。上面寫著：你好…我覺得你真的很可愛。你想和我出去約會嗎？愛你的，喬瑟琳。
Love is... when you've had a huge fight but then decide to put aside your egos, hold hands and say, "I Love You."
愛就是…當你萬般掙扎過後，把自我放到一邊，握住對方的手，說：「我愛你。」
雙語美文：所謂情商高，就是相互理解【2】
Have you ever found yourself in the place to console anyone?
你有沒有遇到過需要安慰別人的時候？
Every now and then we see people get emotional around us.
時不時地，我們身邊總會有人出現些情緒上的問題。
Sometimes they experience tragedy.
有時候是因為他們經歷了慘劇。
Sometimes they just find out that life doesn't go as they planned.
有時候，只是因為他們發現生活並沒有像他們計劃的那樣發展。
Either case, they feel sad and it seems natural for you to console them.
不過不管是哪種，他們心裡都不好受，而你去安慰他們也顯得很自然。
But what would you say?
不過，你會說些什麼呢？
Would you say "I understand you."?
會說：「我理解你。」？
In my experience most people would.
據我的觀察，大部分人都會這么說。
But don't. Someone with high EQ would never say that.
但是別。一個情商高的人是不會這么說的。
Because it doesn't console anyone. It only hurts and makes people angry.
因為這並不能安慰誰。這只會讓人更受傷，而且會激怒別人。
Everyone's life is unique. Everyone's experience is unique. Everyone's feeling is unique.
每個人的生活都是獨特的。每個人的體驗都是獨特的。每個人的感受都是獨特的。
Don't assume that you know anyting about anyone.
別以為你能理解別人的事情。
'Cause you don't.
因為你不能。
Just like nobody really understands you. And you don't want people to tell you that they do.
就像你也知道沒有人真的理解你。而你也不希望有人告訴你他們理解你。
有聲雙語美文：最質朴的情書【3】
Someone once said: "Don't be afraid if you find a crack on your soul, because that'll be where the sunshine comes in."
有人說過：「不要害怕心有裂縫，那是陽光照進來的地方。」
Before I met you, I thought this was nothing but another bunch of useless beautiful words.
在遇到你以前，我覺得這不過又是一句沒用的華麗辭藻。
But after I met you, I realized that this is my life.
而在遇到你之後，我發現，這就是我的人生。
There're too many wonderful things in this world. But life is so short and fragile.
這個世界有太多的美好，而生命卻短暫而脆弱。
It was your appearance that made my life full of these warmth and lights.
是你的出現，讓我的生活變得如此溫暖而光彩奪目。
It was you who wiped away all the fear that dwelled in my heart and made me feel that I could overcome all the challenges that life holds for me.
是你，拂去了我心中的恐懼，讓我覺得人生的挑戰都可以被戰勝。
Now, I can't and do not dare to imagine a life without you.
我已經不敢想像沒有你的日子了。
I don't know what I'm supposed to do in a life like that.
我不知道我在那樣的生命中該做些什麼。
Some people say that love makes one stupid. But to me, it made me brave.
有人說愛情讓人愚蠢，但對我而言，愛情讓我勇敢。
I thank desitny for sending you to my side, my love.
感謝命運將你帶到了我身邊，我的愛。
雙語美文：覺得世界不好？那你夠好嗎？【4】
I was running a few errands in my car the other day. The sun was out, the radio was playing, and I was singing along. The song was a joyful one and even my weak voice sounded good singing it. Then it happened, however. The sweet sound of the music ended and was replaced with the dreaded news break.
前幾天我在自己的車子里處理一些事情，太陽出來了，收音機播放著，我跟著裡面唱起歌來，歌曲的旋律歡快，我五音不全也能唱好。突然優美的音樂停止了，取而代之的是駭人聽聞的一些消息。
I drove on while the announcer droned on. Gas prices were going higher again because of the competitive speculation on Wall Street. The race for the Presidency was getting nastier and nastier, Rioting had broken out when fans of a sports team had gone wild, celebrating their team』s championship.
我邊開著車邊聽著廣播，由於華爾街上的投機競爭導致油價的上漲，總統競選變得越來越手段骯臟，粉絲在慶祝喜愛的運動隊伍取得比賽勝利時候，發生了。
Finally, I could take no more and turned off the radio. Silence seemed preferable to listening to anything else about the crazy, competitive society we live in. I slowed down as I entered a local town and watched the people as I drove by.
最終我不堪忍受這些負面新聞之重而關掉了收音機。此刻的寧靜比聽那些令人糟心揭露社會瘋狂、競爭新聞要好多了，我減速來的鎮上，看經過的人來人往。
A tall muscular man was helping an elderly lady out of a car and helping her position her walker so she could go into a local store.
一個身材高大壯碩的男子正在幫一位行動不便老婦人，從車里出來並幫她安放好助步器，這樣她就可以去當地的商店。
A smiling woman was tossing birdseed into her backyard while a dozen Robins flew down to enjoy the feast being laid out before them.
一位面帶微笑的婦人，在她的後院給一群知更鳥投食，那些鳥兒可以大快朵頤。
A young man was walking along, carrying his two year old daughter safely in his arms. He tickled her gently when she pulled the hat off his head and they both laughed. I laughed too as I looked at all of this kindness. It felt like a glimpse of Heaven. The radio may have been off in my car, but in my heart I was still singing.
一位年輕的父親走來，將他兩歲的女兒摟在臂彎，看起來安全感十足。當女兒試圖去拉他的帽子，他開始撓女兒癢癢，他們都開心的笑了。當看到生命中這些溫暖美好的事情，我也笑了。盡管車里廣播被我關了，但是我的心彷彿隨著之前播放的歌曲，悠揚的唱了起來。
In truth, this world could use a little more kindness and a lot less competition. Kindness makes us all winners in this life. Kindness reminds us that we are all God』s Children. Kindness shows us that we don』t have to beat others in this world.
我所感到生命的真諦是，這個世界可以多一些美好，少一些競爭。帶著善意讓我們每個人都是贏家，讓我們覺得自己是上帝之子，不需要打敗這個世上的任何人。
We just have to love them. May all of your moments here then be full of kindness, love, and joy. And may your only competition be with yourself: to be the best possible you that you can be.
我們只要施與愛。願生命的每一刻都平順喜樂。願我們永遠都以超越自己為目標，成為更好的自己。

『叄』 英語勵志美文精華
想必很多小夥伴會時不時找一些關於英語勵志的美文來看的。下面是我給大家整理的英語勵志美文，供大家參閱!
英語勵志美文：第二次生命的啟示
拉爾夫.里士滿
A New Look from Borrowed Time By Ralph Richmond
Just ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a stethoscope. 「Yes,」 he said, 「there is a lesion in the left, upper lobe. You have a moderately advanced case…」 I listened, stunned, as he continued, 「You』ll have to give up work at once and go to bed. Later on, we』ll see.」 He gave me no assurances.
十年前的一天，我坐在一名手持聽診器的醫生對面。「你的左肺葉上部確實有一處壞損，而且病情正在惡化」——聽到這里，我整個人一下懵了。「你必須停止工作卧床休息，有待觀察。」醫生對我的病情也是不置可否。
Feeling like a man who in mid-career has suddenly been placed under sentence of death with an indefinite reprieve, I left the doctor』s office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a bench, perhaps, as I then told myself, for the last time. I needed to think. In the next three days, I cleared up my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, but the months. two and a half years and many dashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was another year before I made it.
就這樣，事業方面方興未艾的我彷彿突然被人判了死刑，卻說不準何時執刑。我離開醫生的辦公室，來到公園的長椅上坐下。這也許是最後一次來這兒了，我對自己說。我真得好好整理一下思緒。接下來的三天我把手頭的事務全部處理完畢。我回到家，躺到床上，然後把手錶從顯示分鍾改為顯示月份。兩年半的時間過去了，在無數次的失望之後，我終於可以離開病床，艱難地向從前的生活狀態回歸。一年之後，我做到了。
I speak to this experience because these years that past so slowly taught me what to value and what to believe. They said to me: Take time, before time takes you. I realize now that this world I』m living in is not my oyster to be opened but my opportunity to be grasped. Each day, to me, is a precious entity. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to fill.
我之所以談起這段經歷，是因為那段度日如年的歲月讓我懂得應該珍惜什麼，信仰什麼。那段歲月讓我明白一個道理：牢牢抓住時間，而不是讓時間將你套牢。現在我終於明白，我生活著的這個世界不是等待我去打開的一扇牡蠣，而是需要我去抓住的一個機會。每一天我都視若珍寶，每一輪太陽帶給我的嶄新的二十四小時都鮮活而精彩，我絕不可將其虛度。
I』ve learned to appreciate those little, all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on running water, the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered freshness of childhood. How well, for instance, I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was almost more than I could bear. It was like regaining one』s citizenship in a world one had nearly lost.
從前，我終日忙碌，無暇顧及生活中某些重要的細節，諸如水波上的光影，松林間的風吟——現在，我終於學會去欣賞它們的美好。如今，我彷彿重返童年，又覺得自己所見所聞所感的一切都那麼新鮮。當我卧床數年後重新將雙腳踏在大地上的那一刻，腳下那久違了的松軟土壤讓我激動得情難自抑，彷彿重新擁有我差一點就失去的世界。
Frequently, I sit back and say to myself, Let me make note of this moment I』m living right now, because in it I』m well, happy, hard at work doing what I like best to do. It won』t always be like this, so while it is I』ll make the most of it—and afterwards, I remember—and be grateful. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the sidelines of life. Wiser people come to this awareness without having to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn』t wise enough. I』m wiser now, a little, and happier.
我現在時常舒舒服服地坐著，提醒自己要記住當下的每分每秒，因為現在的我健康、快樂，能努力做自己最愛做的工作。這一切如此美好，卻終將消逝，在如此美好的生活消逝之前，我一定要倍加珍惜。在它逝去之後，我會記得曾經擁有的美好，並心存感激。這一切改變都得益於我在生命邊緣徘徊的那幾年。智者無需被逼到如此境地也能明白這些道理——可惜我從前太愚鈍。現在的我比從前多了幾分睿智，我也因此更加快樂。
「Look thy last on all things lovely, every hour.」 With these words, Walter de la Mare sums up for me my philosophy and my belief. God made this world—in spite of what man now and then tries to do to unmake it—a dwelling place of beauty and wonder, and He filled it with more goodness than most of us suspect. And so I say to myself, Should I not pretty often take time to absorb the beauty and the wonder, to contribute a least a little to the goodness? And should I not then, in my heart, give thanks? Truly, I do. This I believe.
英國詩人沃爾特.德拉.梅爾曾說過：「時刻記住，最後看一眼所有美好的事物!」這句詩正好 總結 了我的人生哲學與信仰。上帝創造的這個世界——這個人類時常試圖毀滅的世界——是個美麗奇妙的家園。這里充滿了上帝所賜予的美好事物，超過我們大多數人的想像。我於是常常自問，難道自己不應該去細細品味這些美麗與奇跡，盡綿薄之力去創造世間的美好嗎?難道我不應心存感激嗎?我確實應該——這就是我的信仰。
英語勵志美文：奉獻是支付租金
李·黑斯廷斯·布里斯托爾
Paying the Rent of Service By Lee Bristol
In a complex society and a complex civilization, the indivial is inevitably confused much of the time. But I believe that the basic solution of all world and group problems must first be solved by the indivial himself. Each one of us, whether we publicly admit it or not, has a deeply spiritual side. Not one of us can conceal it—scratch the surface and it』s always there. So first of all—and underlying all my credo—I believe in God and in an orderly universe.
人類生活在復雜的社會和文明中，總會不可避免地感到困惑。然而，我相信：人類自身才是解決全世界和群體問題的根本，無論是否公開承認，每個人的內心深處都藏著一個精神家園。揭開覆蓋在它表層的東西，它永遠在那裡，沒有人能夠將其隱藏。我相信上帝和有序的宇宙，這是我所有信條中的第一個。
As a mortal, passing through this life for just a limited period of time, I believe that happiness is a truly basic objective—happiness for one』s self and, hopefully, happiness for others. It hasn』t taken too much living on my part to discover that real happiness, which sounds so selfish and so self-centered, is never achieved merely by selfish materialism—it can only have depth and real satisfaction if it is bound up with unselfishness—with a consideration for others. Service is the very essence of it. It has been said that 「service is the rent we pay for our place on earth.」 That kind of service brings the true happiness that we all seek.
生命是有限的，我相信，人類應該為自己追求幸福，同時也為他人帶去幸福，這才是人類真正要追求的最基本的生活目標。回顧自己豐富的生活閱歷，我明白了，真正的幸福似乎是自私和以自我為中心。但是，那些牟取私利、滿足個人物質需要的人永遠不會擁有真正的幸福。只有當幸福與無私、體諒他人聯系在一起時，這種幸福才會是有深度、真正令人滿意的幸福。幸福的本質是奉獻，這種奉獻帶來了我們所有人所追求的真正幸福。曾經有人說過這樣的話：「幸福是我們為在地球上占據的空間而支付的租金。」
The antithesis of all this is selfishness, which is outstandingly the greatest world-wide vice. It seems though all the world had the 「gimmies,」 selfishly grasping for power, and more and more, at national levels, with indivials selfishly struggling for material things at their own level.
自私自利是世界上最令人憎惡的惡行，它是一切幸福的對立面。世界的每一個角落似乎都存在著這種惡行，國家之間對於權利的貪婪追求，人與人之間為了物質財富而進行的斗爭。
Each one of us needs a sense of humor with its balancing factor of a sense of proportion. I believe a sense of humor brings poise and a start towards understanding.
每個人都需要一種幽默感和分寸感，我相信幽默感是理解的開端，能夠使人類沉著、冷靜。
My credo embraces a joyous approach for me toward my fellow man and for collective groups towards each other. I want none of that grim hellfire-and-brimstone stuff that flourished in the early days of our country—a religion of frightening fear of the hereafter. Why, even their old church pews were as uncomfortable as straitjackets! A joyous approach towards living even cheers you yourself—to say nothing of its warmth that eases the burdens of others.
我的信條是：同胞之間、群體之間應該快樂地相處。我反對我國早期曾盛行的宣揚殘酷的地獄之火及戰火這樣的謬論，這讓人類對來世的信仰產生了巨大恐懼。為什麼連教堂里靠背椅的椅背都像件瘦小的外套，令人很不舒服!快樂地面對生活不但使自己感到高興，還能溫暖他人，減輕他人的生活負擔。
I believe that brotherhood can grow from this to help destroy forever the seeds of friction and injustice that stem from group minority prejudices.
我相信，幸福能夠產生兄弟情誼，有助於消除小群體偏見產生的沖突和不公平的苗頭。
If only each one of us can develop a sound philosophy and work out a course of conct as indivials, then I believe we can solve our world problems at the international level. Thomas Mann once gave this challenging definition: 「War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.」 With faith and good will in our hearts and with peace in our souls and minds, surely we can leave this world the better for our having lived in it.
只要每個人都能確立一個正確的哲學觀，制定出一套個人行為規范，我相信我們能夠解決國際問題。托馬斯·曼曾經提出了這樣一條富有挑戰性的定義：「戰爭只是對和平解決問題方式的逃避。」只要心中有信仰，有良好的願望，只要思想和靈魂追求和平，我們就一定能夠在有生之年讓世界變得更加美好。
英語勵志美文：人像一棵果樹
埃爾默.霍姆斯.博布斯特
Man Is Like a Fruit Tree by Elmer H. Bobst
Once, while taking my boat down the inland waterway to Florida, I decided to tie up at Georgetown, South Carolina, for the night and visit with an old friend. As we approached the Esso dock, I saw him through my binoculars standing there awaiting us. Tall and straight as an arrow he stood, facing a cold, penetrating wind - truly a picture of a sturdy man, even though in his eighties. Yes, the man was our elder statesman, Bernard Baruch.
有一次，我沿著內河獨自駕船前往佛羅里達州。到達南卡洛來納的喬治敦時，我決定靠岸過夜，順便去 拜訪 一位老朋友。船一進埃松港，我就從望遠鏡中看到他站在那裡等我們。朋友高而挺拔的身影像一支箭一樣，站立在刺骨的寒風中，簡直一幅健壯男子漢的畫面，雖然畫面中人已年過八旬。沒錯，他就是我們的老一輩政治家，伯納德.巴魯克。
He loaded us into his station wagon and we were off to his famous Hobcaw Barony for dinner. We sat and talked in the great living room where many notables and statesmen, including Roosevelt and Churchill, have sat and taken their cues. In his eighty-second year, still a human dynamo, Mr. Baruch talked not of the past but of present problems and the future, deploring our ignorance of history, economics and psychology. His only reference to the past was to tell me, with the wonderful sparkle in his eyes, that he was only able to get eight quail out of the ten shots the day before. What is the secret of this great man's value to the world? The answer is his insatiable desire to keep being proctive.
伯納德.巴魯克的旅行轎車載著我們，徑直駛向他那著名的霍布考大庄園用餐。我們就座談話的大客廳，曾有包括羅斯福和丘吉爾在內的許多貴客與政治家光臨，與他交談，傾聽他的意見。如今，巴魯克先生雖已82歲，卻依然活力充沛。他對過去緘口不提，只談論現在與將來的問題，並為我們對歷史學、經濟學和心理學知識的匱乏而深表遺憾。他告訴我，昨天他只用10發子彈就射中了8隻鵪鶉，這也是他提到的唯一一件「往事」。說話時，他的雙眼閃爍著令人愉快的光芒。這位偉大的人物對世界充滿價值的奧秘何在?答案就是他對成就一如既往的追求。
Another friend of mine, the head of one of our largest corporations, a great steel company, is approaching his middle seventies, and he is still a great leader. He, too, never talks of the past. Instead, he tackles the problems of each day in his stride, brims with plans for the future and, incidentally, shoots in the low seventies on any golf course. He is a happy man because he is proctive.
我的另一位朋友領導著一家最大的公司——一個大鋼鐵公司。年近75歲的他，依然是位優秀的領導者。他也從不談及往昔，而是游刃有餘地處理著每天的問題，頭腦中想的滿是對未來的計劃。並且值得一提的是，70多歲的他，還會不時打打 高爾夫球 。他是個幸福的人，因為他有所成就。
Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently, I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables, talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief requisites for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their proctivity had ceased. When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.
人生在世最難完成的兩件事就是：用誠實的努力獲得財富，以及擁有財富後，學會如何正確地運用。最近，在一個相當知名的高爾夫俱樂部，我打完一輪球後走進衣帽間。當時已近黃昏，多數俱樂部成員都已經回家。然而，六七位年過中旬的人依然坐在桌邊，漫無目的地閑聊著，喝得爛醉如泥。他們每天都是如此。令我無比驚奇的是，他們個個都曾是家財萬貫，事業成功，在圈內備受尊敬的人。如果幸福的首要因素是物質財富，那麼他們每個人都應該很幸福。+但是，我想，對他們來說，某種非常重要的東西已經失去了，不然他們又怎會逃避現實，每天用蘇打水和蘇格蘭威士忌將自己灌得爛醉如泥?他們明白，自己已經無法突破現有的成就。一棵果樹若不再結果便會枯死，人也如此。
What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eyes while I was thumbing through my Bible. The words were few but they became indelibly impressed on my mind: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread."
如何才能幸福長壽地生活在世上呢?我想，很早之前在翻閱《聖經》時，我就找到了答案。《創世紀》中有一段話引起了我的注意，它雖然簡短，卻在我腦海中留下了深刻的印象：「要想糊口，必要汗流滿面。」
To me that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections. In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight - have finished the course - I have kept the faith.
對我而言，它是最初的記憶，也是始終的挑戰。實際上，對每個人來說，人生之役，生存之役，都是一種挑戰。聖.保羅不朽的教誨，也一直並將永遠鼓舞著我。但願，在到達生命之途的終點時，我能夠認為自己打了漂亮的一仗，不僅走完了人生的旅程，而且一如既往地堅持著自己的信仰。
