　　英語勵志文章——方向標

　　One windy spring day， I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites。 Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds darting and dancing。 As the strong winds gusted against the kites， a string kept them in check。

　　Instead of blowing away with the wind， they arose against it to achieve great heights。 They shook and pulled， but the restraining string and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow， facing upward and against the wind。 As the kites struggled and trembled against the string， they seemed to say， “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string。 Finally， one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose。 “Free at last，” it seemed to say。 “Free to fly with the wind。”

　　Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic breeze。 It fluttered ungracefully to the ground and landed in a tangled mass of weeds and string against a dead bush。 “Free at last” free to lie powerless in the dirt， to be blown helplessly along the ground， and to lodge lifeless against the first obstruction。

　　How much like kites we sometimes are。 The Heaven gives us adversity and restrictions， rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength。 Restraint is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition。 Some of us tug at the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained。 We keep part of the mandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground。

　　Let us each rise to the great heights， recognizing that some of the restraints that we may chafe under are actually the steadying force that helps us ascend and achieve。

　　在一個有風的春日，我看到一群年輕人正在迎風放風箏玩樂，各種顏色、各種形狀和大小的風箏就好像美麗的鳥兒在空中飛舞。當強風把風箏吹起，牽引線就能夠控制它們。

　　風箏迎風飄向更高的地方，而不是隨風而去。它們搖擺著、拉扯著，但牽引線以及笨重的尾巴使它們處于控制之中，并且迎風而上。它們掙扎著、抖動著想要掙脫線的束縛，仿佛在說:“放開我!放開我!我想要自由!”即使與牽引線奮爭著，它們依然在美麗地飛翔。最后，一只風箏成功掙脫了。“最后自由了，”它好像在說，“最后能夠隨風自由飛翔了!”

　　然而，脫離束縛的自由使它完全處于無情微風的擺布下。它毫無風度地震顫著向地面墜落，落在一堆亂草之中，線纏繞在一顆死灌木上。“最后自由”使它自由到無力地躺在塵土中，無助地任風沿著地面將其吹走，碰到第一個障礙物便毫無生命地滯留在那里了。

　　有時我們真像這風箏啊!上蒼賦予我們困境和約束，賦予我們成長和增強實力所要遵從的規(guī)則。約束是逆風的必要匹配物。我們中有些人是如此強硬地抵制規(guī)則，以至我們從來無法飛到本來能夠到達的高度。我們只遵從部分戒律，因此永遠不會飛得足夠高，使尾巴遠離地面。

　　讓我們每個人都飛到高處吧，并且認識到這一點:有些可能會令我們生氣的約束，實際上是幫忙我們攀升和實現(xiàn)愿望的平衡力。

　　英語勵志文章——點亮心靈的蠟燭

　　I have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining room. They’re meant for romantic dinners and special occasions, but since the arrival of our three children they have lain unnoticed among the napkins and other things. They are waiting to be taken out and lit to share their glow with anyone who will take the time to bask in their brilliance.

　　在我餐廳的抽屜里放著幾根蠟燭。它們會用于浪漫的晚餐和一些特殊的場合，但是自從我的三個孩子出生之后，它們便被遺忘在餐巾紙和其他雜物之間了。它們一直在等待著被拿出抽屜，被點亮，以和任何一個愿意花費時間去感受它們溫暖的人分享那些光亮。

　　Are not our souls like those candles, patiently waiting for someone to come and let us be ourselves? We are all waiting for our own moments to shine; we each have a special light, unmatched by any other.

　　我們的靈魂不也像蠟燭么?耐心地等待有人來發(fā)掘我們，讓我們發(fā)光發(fā)亮。我們一直等待著發(fā)光發(fā)亮的一刻;我們都有自己獨特的光亮，是別人所不能匹及的。

　　Candles are made up of wax and a wick; we have bodies, but our essence lies in our minds and souls. Candles are unique in their colors, shapes and designs. Our life histories and experiences are the backdrops of who we are, but our minds are like candle wicks, and make our passions flame. Unlike the candles in my drawer, who get used or not used depending on my whims, we control our own thoughts, and how brightly we will burn or dimly we will shine.

　　蠟燭由蠟狀物和蠟燭心組合而成;人類有肉體，而我們的本質卻存在于精神和靈魂中。蠟燭有它們獨一無二的顏色、形狀和圖案。我們生命的歷史和經歷是決定我們是誰的大背景，但是只有我們的心靈才是蠟燭心，使熱情形成火焰。與在抽屜里等著別人一時的興致來決定是否被點燃的蠟燭不同，我們可以決定自己的思想，決定自己能夠發(fā)光發(fā)亮還是黯淡無光。

　　Is your soul candle dimmed by circumstance or lack of passion and direction? Is it hidden in a drawer of stress, worry or resentment? Make a choice to let yourself shine the way you were meant to shine.

　　你心中的那支蠟燭是否因環(huán)境或者缺少激情，沒有方向感而黯淡無光?它是否藏匿于壓力、擔憂和怨恨的抽屜里?做出選擇吧，以自己注定的方式去發(fā)光。
