英語美文：珍惜

　　摘錄：珍惜你所擁有的每一個瞬間。昨日已成歷史，而明日仍是個謎。今天則是珍貴的禮物，那是它為何被稱做“禮物”的原因。

　　1.暗黃的燈光，僅僅也只能照射過彼此。你、我肩上共同擔當?shù)呢熑危q如一片灰塵遮掩。怕只怕燈絲的突然熄滅在這無盡的黑夜和數(shù)不盡的孤單之中。

　　Dark light, just light each other. The responsibility that you and my shoulders take together, such as one dust covers up. Only afraid the light suddenly put out in theendless dark night and countless loneliness.

　　2. 我們每個人都像是農(nóng)夫。灑下良種將有豐收，播下劣種或生滿野草便將毀去收成。沒有耕耘則會一無所獲。我希望未來比過去更加美好，希望未來不會沾染歷史的錯誤與過失。我們都應舉目向前，因我們的余生要用未來書寫。

　　We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. I want the future to be better than the past. I do not want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.

　　3. 現(xiàn)在我知道，靈魂倍受煎熬的時刻，也正是生命中最多選擇與機會的時刻。任何事情的成敗取決于我在尋求幫助時是抬起頭還是低下頭。無論何時，當我被可怕的失敗擊倒，在最初的陣痛過去之后，我都要想方設法將苦難變成好事。偉大的機遇就在這一刻閃現(xiàn)——這苦澀的根必將迎來滿園芬芳!

　　Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help.

　　Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment may present——to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.

　　4. 如果這是我的末日，那么它就是不朽的紀念日，我把它當成最美好的日子。我要把每分每秒化為甘露，一口一口，細細品嘗，滿懷感激。我要每一分鐘都有價值。我要加倍努力，直到精疲力竭。即使這樣，我還要繼續(xù)努力。今天的每一分鐘都勝過昨天的每一小時，最后的也是最好的。假如今天是我生命中的最后一天。如果不是的話，我要跪倒在上蒼面前，深深致謝。

　　If it is my last, it will be my greatest moment. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will make the every hour count and each minute I will trade only for something of value.

　　I will labor harder than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief, and then I will continue. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best.I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks to god.

　　5.人生的紛紛擾擾，雜雜亂亂，在一個特定的時間，特定的地點，做腦海中安排了千萬遍的事，一次一個步驟，人生難免精致，卻也死板，永遠沒有激情，沒有意料之外的驚喜。于是，也只有在心里默默地問：下一班幸福，幾點開?

　　Life is full of confusing and disordering particular time, a particular location, do the arranged thing of ten million time in the brain. Step by step , the life is hard to avoid delicacy and stiffness, no enthusiasm forever and no unexpected happening of surprising and pleasing. So, only silently ask myself in mind：next happiness, when will come?

　　6.一扇通往幸福的門關閉了，另一扇幸福之門打開了，可有多少次啊，我們徘徊在那扇關閉的門前，卻忽略了那扇早已為我們開啟的新的幸福之門。不要以貌取人，外貌可能會欺騙你;不要追逐財富，財富會消失的。去尋找那個讓你笑口常開的人吧，一個微笑就可以使暗淡的日子豁然開朗。去追尋那個令你心靈愉悅的人吧!

　　When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smiles.

　　7. 重要的不是你認識多少人，而是在你離開后，別人會認為是個永遠的損失。重要的不是你想念誰，而是愛你的人想念你。重要的是別人會記你多長時間，誰記著你，為什么記著你。過一種有意義的生活不是一件偶然的事情。

　　What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone. What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident.

　　8.珍惜你所擁有的每一個瞬間。昨日已成歷史，而明日仍是個謎。今天則是珍貴的禮物，那是它為何被稱做“禮物”的原因。

　　Treasure every moment that you have! Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called "the present".
