人生還有很長(zhǎng)，何必哀嘆生命的短暫?我們正在起跑點(diǎn)上，一起看看下面這篇英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志哲理閱讀文章吧。
We Are at the Starting Line
我們正在起跑點(diǎn)
"We are reading the firstverse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite..."
“我們正在閱讀一本頁(yè)數(shù)無(wú)限的書的第—章的第一節(jié)”
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out ofit anything that we can imagine,just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
我不知道這段文字是誰(shuí)寫的，我—直很喜歡它們并用其來(lái)提醒自己，那就是未來(lái)操之在我。我們可以掌握神秘而不可知的未來(lái)，并從中創(chuàng)造出我們所能想象得到的任何東西，一如雕刻家可以將未成形的石頭刻出雕像一樣。
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.
我們每個(gè)人都是農(nóng)夫。我們?nèi)舴N下好種子，就會(huì)有豐收。倘若種子不良且長(zhǎng)滿雜草，我們就會(huì)徒勞無(wú)獲。如果我們什么也不種，就根本不會(huì)有什么收獲。
I want the future to be better than the past. I don't 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 reminder of our lives.
我希望未來(lái)會(huì)比過(guò)去更好。我不希望未來(lái)會(huì)被那些充斥在歷史中的錯(cuò)誤所污染。 我們應(yīng)關(guān)心未來(lái)，因?yàn)橥蟮挠嗌家谖磥?lái)中度過(guò)。
The past is gone and static Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do wiU effect it. Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field ofhuman endeavor.
往昔已逝，靜如止水，任憑我們?cè)趺磁Χ疾荒芨淖冞^(guò)去。而前方的未來(lái)正生機(jī)勃勃，我們的所作所為都會(huì)影響到未來(lái)。只要我們認(rèn)識(shí)到這些，無(wú)論是在家中還是在工作上，每天我們的面前都會(huì)展現(xiàn)出新的天地。我們正處在人類所努力鉆研的每個(gè)領(lǐng)域中進(jìn)步的起點(diǎn)。
