Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion —like stress, anger or frustration1. What was going through your mind? Was your mind crowded with thoughts? Or was it unable to think?

想一下你最近一次感受到的消极情绪,例如压力、愤怒或挫折。当你处于那种消极情绪时你在想些什么?是充满了混乱的思绪?还是无法思考?

The next time you find yourself in a negative emotion, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely absorb yourself in the negative emotion.

下次当你发现自己处于消极情绪中时,停下来。是的,没错,停下来。不管你在做什么,停下来,坐上一分钟。坐着的时候,让自己完全沉浸在那种消极的情绪之中。

Allow that emotion to consume you. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take one minute to feel that emotion. When the minute is over, ask yourself, "Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day? "If not, take a deep breath and let go of2 all that negativity with your breath.

让那消极情绪吞噬你,现在不要欺骗自己,花一分钟的时间去体会那种情绪。当一分钟结束时,问自己:"我是否愿意今天余下的时间里继续保持这种消极情绪?"如果不愿意,那就深吸一口气,让那种情绪随着你的呼吸而飘走。

Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally absorbed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly. If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.

一旦你允许自己完全沉浸在那种情绪当中并真切体会到它,你就会惊奇地发现那种情绪很快就消失了。如果你觉得还需要点时间来保持那种情绪,没关系,再给自己一分钟的时间去体会它。

This exercise seems simple, but it is very effective. Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens.

这种方法似乎很简单,但却非常有效。试一下吧。下次当你被消极情绪笼罩时,给自己一点空间来体会那种情绪并看看会发生什么。

The Creator sells us good things at the price of labor, effort, and persistence. We pay for our high ideals, sometimes, with great loneliness.

造物主以劳动、努力和持之以恒为价给予我们好的东西。为了崇高的理想有时我们付出孤独的代价。

We pay for life itself through efforts to sustain it, and even more to train it into worthwhile channels and to keep it there. We pay for our sorrow and losses and errors sometimes with anger, sometimes with endurance1 and quiet, or best with tender and hopeful resignation.

就是生命本身也是需要付出代价的,我们付出努力使生命延续。甚至,我们付出更多让生命变成实现价值的手段,并尽力保持这一点。我们为悲伤,失落和错误付出代价。有时用愤怒,有时是用忍耐和沉默,或者最好的是用温柔和顺从。

But whatever coin we give we know at least that nothing may be had for nothing. What do we most desire to buy? Are we able and willing to pay the price?

但无论我们付出了什么,至少我们明白没有付出就不会收获。我们最渴望得到的是什么?我们能够并且愿意为它付出代价吗?

If we choose to buy pleasure, ease, and self-indulgence, somehow we must scrape together the purchase price. We may not eat our cake and have it too.

如果我们选择得到快乐,悠闲和放纵,那我们也要付出相应的代价。鱼与熊掌不可兼得。

Haven’t you noticed what a high price those who drift through life, trusting to get the rewards of labor and avoid making payments, pay in the end?

你没发现吗?那些一心期望在生活中不劳而获的人最终付出了巨大的代价。

On one occasion, a lady said to a famous violinist, "I would give half my life to be able to play like you do." "That madam," he replied, "is exactly what I have given to do it."

某次,一位女士对一位著名小提琴家说:"如果我能弹奏得像您一样精彩,我宁愿献出我的半生。""太太,"他答到,"这确实就是我所付出的。"

People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.

人们常常心存疑虑,为什么历史学家要费尽周折地保存数以万计的书籍、文献和记录。

Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars?

我们为什么要有图书馆呢?这些文献和史书有何用处呢? 我们为什么要记载并保存人类的行为、政府官员的谈判和战争中的事件呢?

We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.

我们这么做的原因在于有时候经验之音能促使我们停步、观察和倾听。也因为有时候过去的记载经过正确地诠释,能帮助我们决定何事可为、何事不可为。如果我们想要创造永久的和平,我们就必须从人类的经验以及人类历史的记载中去探索其渊源。

From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.

从体现男性和女性勇敢和奉献精神的故事之中,我们获得了青春的启示。历史记载着人类的一切苦难、克己、忠诚和英勇的事迹。这些记载在我们困惑和渴望和平时能对我们有所帮助。

The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.

历史的主要目的是创造一个更加美好的世界。历史对那些力主战争的人给以警告,给予那些寻求和平的人以启示。

In short, history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep us from repeating yesterday’s mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.

简而言之,历史帮助我们学习。昨日的记载可以使我们避免重蹈覆辙。这些历史学家们创作的像马赛克一样色彩缤纷的历史片断汇聚成了代表人类进步的伟大壁画。

一长一短
Mother Machree 慈母颂
There’s a spot in my heart 在我心中有那么一隅，
which no colleen may own; 任何少女也不能占据。
There’s a depth in my soul 它埋在我灵魂的深处，
never sounded or known; 我从不声张从不表露。
There’s a place in my memory 在我的记忆里，
my life that you fill; 生活充满着你。
No other can take it 别人不能替代，
no one ever will; 永远也无例外。
Every sorrow or care 逝去的欢乐日子里，
in the dear days gone by; 也曾有烦恼和忧伤。
Was made bright by the light 但你眸中微笑的光，
of the smile in your eye; 总可以把一切照亮。
Like a candle that’s set 宛如一支点燃的蜡烛，
in a window at night; 茫茫黑夜中透过窗户。
Your fond love has cheered me 你温柔的爱鼓舞着我，
and guided me right; 指引我走上正确道路。
Sure I love the dear silver 我爱你美丽的头髪，
that shines in your hair; 闪烁着熠熠的银光。
And the brow that’s all furrowed 我爱你额上的皱纹，
and wrinkled with care; 刻满了岁月的沧桑。
I kiss the dear fingers 我吻你优美的双手，
so toil warm for me; 为我辛劳暖我心房。
Oh! God bless you and 愿主保佑与你同在，
keep you, mother machree! 慈母啊，我的亲娘

《Time To Say Goodbye》
Time To Say Goodbye
We talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
As we go on We remember
All the times we Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever We will still be
Friends Forever
If we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
