【正文】 ake a deep breath and say “Yes” and hope will reappear6.篇10：英語勵志小短文I believe it is possible for ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things. For me, the difference between an “ordinary” and an “extraordinary” person is not the title that person might have, but what they do to make the world a better place for us all.我相信平凡的人可以做出不平凡的事。在我看來,普通人和偉人的區(qū)別并不在于頭銜,而在于他們做了什么對人類有益的事。I have no idea why people choose to do what they do. When I was a kid I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I did know what I didn’t want to do. I didn’t want to grow up. And I certainly didn’t think about being an activist. I didn’t even really know what one was.。當我還是個孩子時我并不知道我長大以后想做什么,我只知道我不想做什么。我不想長大,也從未想過做一個激進主義者。我根本不了解激進主義者是什么。My older brother was born deaf. Growing up, I ended up defending him and I often think that is what started me on my path to whatever it is I am today.我哥哥生下來就耳聾。隨著我漸漸長大,最終是我保護他。我想這大概就是促使我走上今天這條道路的原因。If I have any power as an individual, it’s because I work with other individuals in countries all over the world. We are ordinary people and we’ve all worked together to bring about extraordinary change.如果我個人擁有某種能力,那是因為我同世界各國的人們一起奮斗。我們都是平凡的人,但我們通過共同努力帶來了神奇的變化。I believe that words are easy. I believe that truth is told in the actions we take. And I believe that if enough ordinary people supported our desire for a better world with action we could acplish absolutely extraordinary things.行動勝于言行,真理蘊含在我們的行動里。我堅信如果有許許多多的普通人拿出行動來支持我們創(chuàng)造一個英語短文更加美好的世界的愿望,我們一定能夠完成偉大的事業(yè)。篇11：英語勵志小短文It was a classic night. The noisy Mexico City gradually calmed down. The main stadium of Olympic track and field petition was enveloped in the darkness.After he finished making the scenes the marathon winners received the trophies and marked the victory, Greenspan, the world famous newsreel producer, found the stadium empty. It was time for him to return to the hotel for a rest. He was about to leave when he suddenly saw a bandaged man with his right leg stained with the blood ran into the stadium. This man ran lamely out of breath, but he didn’t stop. After he ran along the runway for a circle and got to the goal, he collapsed on the ground...Greenspan guessed this was a marathon athlete. Out of curiosity, he went over to ask why the athlete wanted to run to the goal with such a difficulty.The young man called Kowari from Tanzania replied gently, “That my country sent me here from more than 20,000 kilometers is not let me get off the mark in the petition, but makes me plete the game. I want to run to the goal, though I have fallen behind all other runners, but I have a sacred goal like them： I will run to the goal. Though the audience won’t cheer me any more, my motherland is watching me intently from behind...”Tears welled up in Greenspan39。s eyes. Soon, he spread the most touching scene in the history of the Olympic Games to every corner of the world.Life should have a dream of reaching the peak, yet we should understand not everybody has the ability to do most important is not whether we can reach the peak but whether we have made the greatest effortsto reach the goal in the mind is a success.翻譯：我要跑向終點那是一個經(jīng)典的夜晚,喧囂的墨西哥城終于漸漸安靜下來，奧運會田徑比賽的主體育場籠罩在夜色中。享譽國際的紀錄片制作人格林斯潘將當天馬拉松比賽優(yōu)勝者們領(lǐng)取將杯慶祝勝利的鏡頭制作完畢，才發(fā)現(xiàn)體育場內(nèi)已空無一人，自己該回賓館休息了。他剛要離開體育場，突然看到一個右腿沾滿血污，綁著繃帶的人跑進體育場。這個人一瘸一拐地跑著，氣喘吁吁,卻沒有停下來。他順著跑道跑了一圈，抵達終點后，一下癱倒在地……格林斯潘猜想，這是一名馬拉松運動員。在好奇心的驅(qū)使下，他走了過去，詢問這名運動員為什么要這么吃力地跑到終點。這位來自坦桑尼亞名叫?？送呃锏哪贻p人輕聲回答說：“我的國家從兩萬多公里外送我來這里,不是叫我在這場比賽中起跑，而是派我來完成這場比賽的。我要跑向終點，盡管我已經(jīng)落在奔跑隊伍的最后面，但我有著和他們一樣神圣的目標：我要跑到終點，盡管不再有觀眾為我加油，但我身后有祖國的凝望……”格林斯潘淚光盈盈。很快，他就用鏡頭將奧運史上這最動人的一幕傳遞到世界的每個角落。人生應該擁有登臨峰頂?shù)膲粝耄鼞摱貌皇敲總€人都有到達峰頂?shù)哪芰?。最重要的不是能否到達峰頂，而是是否盡到了最大努力——到達心中的目標，便是一種成功。英語勵志小短文：做好自己The Art of Being YouThese are challenging times when we lose faith in the world and even in ourselves. Most of us think that we are in control of our lives or destiny1, but it is not always like that. It is time for us to look inward and find our inner power.這是充滿挑戰(zhàn)的時刻——當我們對世界甚至自己失去信心。我們中的大多數(shù)人認為自己能夠掌握自己的生活或命運,然而事實卻并非總是如此。這時我們應審視內(nèi)心,并尋找自身的內(nèi)在潛能。We truly have everything in our lives to make us happy, but we have trouble recognizing it. Happiness does not e from material things, money or the love of an admirer. Yes, material things can make us happy。 money is something nice to have。 love from another person can bring lots of pleasure, but real happiness es from our own minds. It is the art of being you.我們的確已經(jīng)擁有生活中那些能夠令我們感到幸福的事,只是還未意識到。幸福并非來自物質(zhì)享受、金錢或仰慕者的喜愛。是的,物質(zhì)享受能夠令我們感到開心。擁有金錢是件美事。來自仰慕者的喜愛給我們帶來愉悅,但真正的幸福來自我們內(nèi)心——“做自己”的藝術(shù)。You can’t have everything you want, but you can have happiness by accepting all the good things in your life. The time we have on this earth is limited3, so take time to enjoy and appreciate a hot shower, the smell of a rose, the laughter of children and the feeling of the warm summer sun on your skin.你無法擁有自己想要的一切,但接受生活中所有的美好仍可令你感到幸福。英語短文生命有限,因此請珍惜時間。享受一個熱水澡、玫瑰的芬芳、孩子的笑聲和夏日陽光灑在皮膚上的溫暖感覺,并對這些心存感激。The art of being you is to feel the gratitude4 and peace of being alive. Take a quiet moment to thank everything for allowing you to live on the earth to discover happiness. Once you do this, you will know the great value of the art of being you. What more can you ask for?“做自己”的藝術(shù)在于感受活著的平和并對其心存感激。找一個安靜的時刻感激所有令你能夠活在世上并發(fā)現(xiàn)幸福的事物。一旦做過,你便會知道“做自己”的價值所在。人生如此,夫復何求?
