“Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.” ~Henry David Thoreau
迷失自我，才能发现自我。——亨利·大卫·梭罗（美国作家及自然主义者）
Everything about my future was ambiguously assumed. I would get into debt by going to college, then I would be forced to get a job to pay off that debt, while still getting into more and more debt by buying a house and a car. It seemed like a never-ending cycle that had no place for the possibility of a dream.
我们未来的一切似乎都模糊地设定好了，利用贷款上大学，然后为了还债被迫去找一份工作，还要为了买房买车背负更多的债务……这仿佛是一个无休止的循环，让我们的梦想没有实现的机会。
I want more—but not necessarily in the material sense of personal wealth and success. I want more out of life. I want a passion, a conceptual dream that wouldn’t let me sleep out of pure excitement. I want to spring out of bed in the morning, rain or shine, and have that zest for life that seemed so intrinsic in early childhood.
我们想要的更多——并不是对于个人财富和成功等物质性需求，我们对于生活，想要更多。我想要热忱、有概念的梦想，让我不会空怀纯粹的兴奋入睡。我希望能在早晨一跃起床，无论是阳光普照还是刮风下雨，也能对生活充满热情，就像我们的童年时固有的一样。
We all have a dream. It might be explicitly defined or
just a vague idea, but most of us are so stuck in the muck of insecurity and self-doubt that we just dismiss it as
unrealistic or too difficult to pursue.
我们都有梦想，无论它是明确的目标还是模糊的主意，但我们绝
大部分人都受困于不安全和自我怀疑的泥泞里，我们把梦想看做是不
现实的、难以追求的，最后放弃了。
We become so comfortable with the life that has been planned out for us by our parents, teachers, traditions, and societal norms that we feel that it’s stupid and unsafe to risk losing it for the small hope of achieving something that is more fulfilling.
我们变得满足于父母、老师、传统及社会规条为我们营造的安逸
生活。为了那一点点能够为生活变得更充实的希望去冒险，我们会认
为这是愚蠢和危险的。
“The policy of being too cautious is the greatest risk
of all.” ~Jawaharlal Nehru
过于谨慎才是的危险——贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁（印度开国总理）
Taking a risk is still a risk. We can, and will, fail. Possibly many, many, many times. But that is what makes it exciting for me. That uncertainty can be viewed negatively,
or it can empower us.
冒险始终还是有风险。我们，也有可能失败，还有可能是失败很
多很多次。但这会让我们更加兴奋。不确定因素看起来有不利，但同
时也能激励我们。
Failing is what makes us grow, it makes us stronger and more resilient to the aspects of life we have no control over.
The fear of failure, although, is what makes us stagnant and sad. So even though I couldn’t see the future as clearly as before, I took the plunge in hopes that in the depths of fear and failure, I would come out feeling more alive than ever before.
失败能让我们成长，让我们更强大，让我们更能适合生活中难以
控制的各个方面。对于失败的恐惧，让我们停滞不前，悲伤不已。即
使不能清晰地看见未来，在恐惧和失败的深渊里，我们也要保持希望，那么我们将活得更有生命力。
If you feel lost, just take a deep breath and realize
that being lost can be turning point of finding out who you truly are, and what you truly want to do.
如果你迷失了自我，请深呼吸，迷失或许能成为你人生的转折点，让你发现真正的自己，并让你知道自己想真正成为怎样的人。
小学三年级英语阅读短文带翻译 (*) 病人和船主 The Patient and the Ship Owner This incident occurred one morning outside Albert Sch-weitzer's hospital in the African jungle.A patient had gone fishing in another man's boat.The owner of the boat thought he should be gi*en all the fish that were caught.Dr.Sch-weitzer said to the boat owner： “You are right because the other man ought to ha*e asked permission to use your boat.But you are wrong because you are careless and lazy.You merely twisted the chain of your canoe round a palm tree instead of fastening it with a padlock.Of laziness you are guilty because you were asleep in your hut on this moonlit night instead of making use of the good opportunity for fishing.” He turned to the patient:“But you were in the wrong when you took the boat without asking the owner's permission.You were in the right because you were not so lazy as he was and
英语美文阅读诵读：我相信 I believe in love because my wife taught me how. I believe that a dance with fear leaves you winded, yet wiser. I believe that having children has made me a better man. I believe that the truth tastes like straw- berries — the really big ones. I believe in friends who stand by you. I believe you have to suffer for your passion. I believe that the happiest people are those with the fewest masks. I believe that too many people stay in jobs they hate to get more vacation days, so that they can spend more time away from the jobs they hate. I believe that we give life its meaning. I believe that liars run from the truth like vampires from the sun. I believe that courage works its way from the heart to the hands. I believe that knowing yourself is one of the finest things you can do. I believe in blue kites with orange tails.
七年级英语短文带翻译阅读 这一方面是因为一般的英国人热衷于用自己的双手工作，另一方面是因为他觉得，不管什么原因，有许多家庭工作他必须自己动手去做，而这些工作在几年前都会由雇佣的专业人士帮忙完成。 The for this is a financial one: the high cost of labor has meant that builders' and decorators'costs have reached a level which makes them so high that the house-proud English people ofmodest means hang back. So, if they wish to keep their houses looking bright and smart, theyhave to deal with some of the repairs and decorating themselves. As a result, there has grownup in the post-war years what is sometimes referred to as the "Do-It-Yourself Movement".这种现象的主要原因是经济因素：高成本的劳动力意味着建筑工人和装修工人的费用达到了非常高的水平，使得节俭的、讲究家里摆设的英国人退缩了。 因此，如果他们想让他们的房子保持明亮整洁的话，他们不得不自己去做一些修理和装修工作。 这样，在战后几年里，在英国形成了一种运动，有时被称为“自己动手运动。 The "Do-It-Yourself Movement" began with home decorating but has since spread into a muchwider field. Nowadays there seem to be very few things that cannot be made by the "do-it-yourself" method.“自己动手运动由家庭装修开始，但从那时候起到现在，已经扩展到了更多的领域。

英语阅读短文带翻译：你是独一无二的 Enjoy that uniquenesss1. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else. You do not have to lie to hide the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else. You were meant to be different. Nowhere, in all of history, will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now. If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap2 in history, and something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it! No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort others with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person. No one can be cheerful and light-hearted3 and joyous4 in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being. Share your uniqueness. Let it flow out freely among your family and friends, and the people you meet in the rush and clutter of living, wherever you are. That gift of yourself was given to you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away! See it! Receive it! Let it inform you, move you and inspire you! You are unique!

From the moment that he heard the applause and took his bows, he knew he wanted to be an actor. He “drew” his name as it would look at a theatre. In his mind, he “pr acticed” his acceptance speech to the Academy Awards. “I want to thank my agent…” he imagined himself saying to the crowd. By sixth grade, he was used to starring in school productions. He played Romeo in this year’s Junior Shakespeare Festival. His brother said he was probably the first Romeo in the history of theater to have braces. Steven liked everything about acting –except for his brother’s comments about it. Brad was not interested in acting. Steven dreamed of going to California or New York when he got older. Meanwhile, he read the “trades” at the library –the newspapers and magazines of the acting business. He couldn’t believe it when he saw that there was going to be an open casting call in his own Midwestern city. He begged his parents to take him, but they worked on Saturdays and they couldn’t take the day off. He was forced to ask his older brother, the critic. The part called for a boy who looked about 14. Steven figured he could pass. Unlike Brad, Steven looked older than his age. Brad, on the other hand, at 16 looked more like 14. The boys arrived early at the theater where the try-outs were taking place. There were already over 200 kids there. Steven picked up his application. Brad picked up one, too –“just for fun,” he said. Each of them then studied the short script they’d been handed. Like all the other kids, they mouthed the words over and over. Some kids found quiet spaces to read their lines aloud, with all the right emotion. Steven as ked Brad to listen to his reading. “Okay, but you have to listen to mine, too.” “Deal,” Steven answered. Then he read, and, as usual, he was good. Next, it was Brad’s turn. Steven couldn’t believe what he was seeing and hearing. Why hadn’t Brad ever tried out for a play? Where had he gotten all this talent all of a sudden? He asked his brother, “Why haven’t you tried before?” “I was waiting for something big,” Brad replied. ************************** applause /?'pl??z/ n.
