读后感：
这篇散文很简单也很朴实，但是翻译起来就变得有哲理了，我喜欢的是那句不做情绪的奴隶。现在的我以是从教4年的老师了，慢慢越发懂得教师这一职业的不容易和委屈，那事情发生了，我就要各种发脾气或者各种郁闷吗?不行，自己作为老师，作为班主任时常和小同学们说，凡事不能冲动，要理性思考不要做让自己后悔的事情。那如果，我自己也没能做到，学生们怎么会变成你想让他们变成的样子呢。所以，如果自己做好了，能够调节好自己的情绪，相信学生们也会做好，最后会有很融洽夫人师生关系。
以上是我在工作中，结合散文的感悟。在生活中，同样也是这样。现在的我年纪也不小了，但是个人问题却好没解决，那父母一定是很担心的，回家偶尔会问长问短的，但我并没有觉得烦，不会因此而想他们发火，反而很耐心的去安慰他们，结果他们确实也听进去了，也没有时常提起。和家人相处的氛围就是很温馨和快乐。有时，父母间有些小矛盾了。我也会沉淀下来去引导父母把心里话讲出来，并且告诉他们别做情绪的奴隶，讲出或做出伤害至亲的事情。小时候，是爸妈教我怎么做人，走路。现在，我长大了，他们一天天老去，是该我牵着他们走了。

我将明白只有低能者才会江郎才尽，我并非低能者。我必须不断对抗那些企图摧垮我得力量。失望与悲伤一眼就会被识破，而其他许多敌人是不易察觉的，它们往往面带微笑，伸出友谊之手，却随时有可能将我们摧垮。对它们，我们永远不能放松警惕。
And with this new knowledge I will also understand and recognize the moods of him on whom i call， I will make allowances for his anger and irritation of today for he knows not the secret of controlling his mind.i can withstand him arrows and insults for now I know that tomorrow he will change and be a joy to approach.

双语美文集锦
Passage 1 Learn to Live at the Present Moment
To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live at the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are—always.
Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things—all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns dominate our present moments, so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing that “someday” will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that “someday” never actually arrives. John Lennon once said, “Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans.” When we are busy making „other plans‟, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.
Many people live as if life is a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn‟t. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When we put our attention on the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
that might happen in the future—we won‟t have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.
学会活在此刻
我们内心是否平和在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在此刻所决定的。不管昨天或去年发生了什么，不管明天可能发生或不发生什么，现实才是你时时刻刻所在之处。
毫无疑问，我们很多人掌握了一种神经兮兮的艺术，即把生活中的大部分时间花在为种种事情担心忧虑上——而且常常是同时忧虑许多事情。我们听凭过去的麻烦和未来的担心控制我们此时此刻的生活，以致我们整日焦虑不安，萎靡不振，甚至沮丧绝望。而另一方面我们又推迟我们的满足感，推迟我们应优先考虑的事情，推迟我们的幸福感，常常说服自己“有朝一日”会比今天更好。不幸的是，如此告诫我们朝前看的大脑动力只能重复来重复去，以致“有朝一日”不会真的来临。约翰·列侬曾经说过：“生活就是当我们忙于制订别的计划时发生的事。” 当我们忙于制订种种 “别的计划” 时，我们的孩子在忙于长大，我们挚爱的人离去了甚至快去世了，我们的体型变样了，而我们的梦想也在消然溜走。一句话，我们错过了生活。
许多人的生活好像是某个未来日子的彩排。并非如此。事实上，没人能保证他或她明天肯定还活着。现在是我们所拥有的唯一时间，现在也是我们能控制的唯一的时间。当我们将注意力放在此时此刻时，我们就将恐惧置于脑后。恐惧就是我们担忧某些事情会在未来发生——我们不会有足够的钱，我们的孩子会惹上麻烦，我们会变老，会死去，诸如此类。

Passage 2 What will matter?
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won‟t matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived. It won‟t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant. So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured? What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave. What will matter is not your success, but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence, but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you‟re gone. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
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. It‟s not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters.
什么才重要?
无论你是否准备好，总有一天它都会走到尽头。 那里没有日出，没有白天，没有小时和分钟。 你收集的所有东西，不管你珍惜或已忘记，它们都将流入他人手中。
不管是你已得到的或是别人欠你的，你的财富、名誉和权势都会变成和你毫不相干的东西。
你的怨恨、愤慨、沮丧和妒忌最终也将消失。
同样，你的希望、抱负、计划以及行动日程表也将全部结束。当初看得比较重的成功和失败也会消失。
你来自何方，住在穷人区还是富人区也都不重要了。
你昔日的漂亮与辉煌也都不重要了，你的性别、肤色、种族地位也将变得无关紧要。
因此，什么重要呢? 怎么衡量你有生之年的价值呢?
重要的不是你买了什么，而是你创造了什么;不是你得到了什么，而是你给予了什么。
重要的不是你成功了，而是你生命的意义。 重要的不是你学到了什么，而是你传授了什么。
重要的是每个行动之中都充满正直、怜悯、勇气以及奉献精神，并且鼓励他圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
人效仿榜样。
重要的不是你的能力，而是你的性格。
重要的不是你认识多少人，而是在你离开后，多少人会认为是个永远的损失。 重要的不是你想念谁，而是爱你的人想念你。
重要的是别人会记着你多长时间，谁记着你，为什么记着你。 过一种有意义的生活不是一件偶然的事情。 那不是环境的问题，而是选择的问题。 选择有意义的人生吧!
Passage 3 The expectation of grandfather

I hope you have ever mounted a high mountain equipped with a compass and torch. I also hope nobody would send you a brand-new auto before you‟re 20. My cherished grandson, I hope you compute the sending of your allowance and make a timetable or an agenda lest time click away without your consciousness. My dear grandson, I want you to put down your briefcase, leave your urban life with air-condition, internet and vehicles, and take a break at hometown when you are tired , I surely hop you could accompany grandpa to have a haircut or see the dentist or have a chat with your grandma.
爷爷的期望
我们竭尽全力想让我们的儿女们过得更好，而结果却无济于事。对我的孙辈们，我就明智得多了。
我希望你听众神父的建议。闲时读读《圣经》，虽然你自己并没有宗教信仰。 我希望你多向经验丰富的人请教。
我希望你在跟别人起冲突时，勇于为自己辩护，但是，也要有耐心倾听对手的声音，切记武力并不能解决所有问题。
我希望你能学一门手艺，比方说开起重机或修半导体收音机等。一技在身，吃穿不愁。
我希望你知道这个世界上不仅有掌声、勋章和皇冠，也会有失败、挫折和困圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
境;不仅有和平、平等和合作，也会有争论、冲突和矛盾，甚至会有陷阱、残忍和欺骗。
我希望你对伤残人士表现出同情。我希望你能真诚地帮助别人，做些力所能及的小事。比如，帮妈妈用吸尘器清扫房间，帮史密斯先生换汽车轮胎或是在路上让别人搭车等等。
我真的希望你曾带着指南针和手电筒，爬上过高山。我也希望没有人在你20岁之前送你一辆轿车。
我的宝贝孙子，我希望你们学会做计划，不要花光所有的零花钱，不要让时间在不经意间流逝。
我亲爱的孙子，最后希望你，工作累了，就放下公文包，离开那有着网络、空调和车辆的都市生活，回家乡休息一下。我当然也希望你有时间陪爷爷理个发，看看牙医或是陪奶奶聊聊天。
Passage
4The Two Roads
It was Christmas Eve，an aged man was standing on the balcony ，with uneasy，alarmed and pessimistic expression; He sighed for his miserable fate, and raised his sad eyes, gazed at the sparking stars in the deep blue sky. A falling star depicted a curve in the sky and disappeared, which seemed like the symbol of his life.
Then he cast them below his floor, where a few more desperate people than him were moving towards their inevitable destination-the grave. He had already expended sixty years on the way leading to it, and he had acquired nothing but agony and regret. Now his health was poor, his mind was vacant, his heart was sorrowful, and his life 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
was short of comforts.
The days of his youth appeared like dreams floating in his brain, and he recalled the strategic moment when he stood at the access to two roads- At the end of the first road, it was a peaceful and sunny place. It was covered with delicate flowers, fascinating bamboo forest, bunches of attractive grapes. There lived cute deer, tame lambs, and flying butterflies and echoed with the merry, sweet laughter. There were also winding tracks and honey peach trees dotted the graceful landscape.
At the end of the second road, it was a damp and dull cave, which was an absolute hell of great bulk. It was covered with moist ponds and marshes, nasty, ditches and jungles, chilling and thrilling jails, all around was emitting the stale acid flavor. There lived evil devils, giant monsters, poisonous snakes, and echoed with the horrible barking of wolves. It was full of spiders, bats, frogs, damn rats, offensive bugs and other crawling insects.
He looked up to the sky and shouted aloud,“O youth, return! Return !”
And his youth did return, for all this was only a nightmare which he had on Christmas Eve. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the damp and dull cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which led to the peaceful and sunny land.
Those youngsters, who are still wandering at the entrance of life and hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years have passed and your feet are limping in the dark cave, you will cry bitterly, but in vain; “O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”

两条路
圣诞节前夜，一位老人伫立在阳台上，面带不安、忧虑和悲伤的表情。他哀叹着自己悲惨的命运，抬起黯然失神的双眼凝视着深蓝色的天空中闪烁的星星。一颗陨落的星星划出一道弧线后消失了，那似乎是他生命的象征。
他将目光投向地面，几个比他更加绝望的人正在走向人生必然的终点—坟墓。在通往人生终点的道路上，他已经过了60多个年头，除了痛苦和悔恨，他一无所获。现在，他身体虚弱，精神空虚，心情忧郁，缺少晚年应有的舒适。青春的岁月如梦幻般浮现在他的脑海里，他回想起当他站在人生岔口上的关键时刻。当时，他面前有两条路—
第一条路的尽头，是一个和平、阳光普照的地方。那里有娇嫩的鲜花、迷人的竹林、一串串诱人的葡萄、可爱的小鹿、温顺的羊羔、翩飞的蝴蝶，到处回荡着愉快甜美的笑声，还有弯弯曲曲的小路和小蜜桃树点缀着那里优美的风景。 第二条路的尽头，是一个犹如地狱般潮湿阴暗的巨大山洞。那里遍布着潮湿的池塘和沼泽、肮脏的水沟和丛林、阴冷而恐怖的牢狱，四周散发着陈腐的酸味，那里有恶魔、巨兽和毒蛇，回荡着令人毛骨悚然的狼嚎声。随处可见的是蜘蛛、蝙蝠、青蛙、老鼠、令人讨厌的臭虫和其他昆虫。 他仰望天空，大声地哭喊：“哦，青春，你回来吧!回来吧!”
他的青春真的回来了，因为以上所发生的一切只是他在平安夜做的一场噩梦。他仍旧年轻，虽然的确犯过一些错误，但还未坠入深渊;他仍然可以自由地走上通往和平与光明的道路。
在人生的十字路口徘徊，不知该不该选择光明大道的年轻人啊，你们千万要记住：当你青春已逝，双足在黑暗的山洞举步维艰，跌跌撞撞之时，你才痛疾首地呼唤：“哦，回来吧，青春!哦，把我的美好年华还给我!”这将毫无意义。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Passage 6 Life
You wake up in the morning, feeling groggy and disoriented. You look at yourself in the mirror, fearful to look him straight in the eye.
You back zero tolerance on boredom, stuffing every vacant 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
moment with talks, malls and laptops! You are silent in their eyes, yet the noisiest in yours, for that inner voice you can hardly hear. You hang on the rim of the wheel of fortune, going up and down, tasting highs and lows. Life goes on but it is out of control! Not so soon, nor too late. You open your eyes, stretching your muscles and seeing the whole world beckons to you. You cheat him no more, smile to him , stare at him, knowing he is with you clear up to the end. You celebrate every moment, busy or free; strive not to become a human-doing, be and consider like a human-being! You talk gently, speak forcefully, and argue eloquently, because a mind in peace functions with effortless ease. You break free, make it to the hub, center your life on the bliss. Let it go! Let it flow! Life still is, but you got a big role!
生活
清晨初醒，你只觉昏昏沉沉，糊里糊涂。 对着镜中的他，你已不敢直视那双眼。
你对无聊的零容忍，让你的生活被塞满闲聊，购物，笔记本! 他们眼中安静的你，在你心中却嘈杂不堪，只因心声早已杳不可闻。 你攀上命运之轮的边缘，从此生活跌宕起伏，阴晴不定。 生活依然继续，却已脱离掌控。 光阴不长不短，会有一天：
你睁开双眼，舒展筋骨，世界已然向你呼唤。
不再欺骗镜中的他，朝他微笑，死死盯着他，你明白他将伴你走过一生的旅程 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
不论闲暇忙碌，珍惜每个当下。你不再被生活俘虏忙个不停，思考并实现人之为人!你言辞温婉，演说铿锵，雄辩滔滔，一切运行自如，却宁静而无为。你挣脱轮缘，爬上轮轴中心，专注万物的美好。放开拳头!让幸福在掌心流动! 生活依旧如是，你不作主，孰作主!
Passage 7 The Last Wish in a Winter Night Kent was a manger of a cement agency. His establishment nearly had gone bankrupt because one of his inferiors betrayed him. Just now Kent had made a presentation to the board in the chamber, conceding the failure of his administration. He had temporarily stopped the provision of cement in all projects.
It was a cold winter midnight. In corridor, the thermometer suspended showed the temperature was minus 9 degrees centigrade. The tragedy blurred Kent‟s mind, so he steered to a bar alone. He wanted nothing but to drink liquor tonight.
There were few people in the street. Suddenly, a figure of an old madam exposed within his eyesight. She was standing sideways nearby a platform, dressed in a plain gown, hauling a portable suitcase, and holding with a plastic bag in the other hand. The slight old lady was seemingly more than 80. She was trembling in cutting wind with red nose. Now she kept motioning Kent for a ride. Although Kent was somewhat angry about the old madam‟s disturbing and he wasn‟t induced at all to inquire any occurrence concerning her, he wouldn‟t like to leave her in the cold night. He thought that she presumable needed help. So he braked near her.
The madam said, “Would you please take me a ride? I can offer double fare…” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
Kent interrupted her, “I will charge you nothing! Come on!”
The madam pointed her luggage (baggage) and said, “Could you put them into the car?”
Kent stooped, heaved and put them in the car.
They proceeded to drive. Kent halted at a petroleum station where he wanted to purchase gallons of gasoline. During the interval they waited in a queue, the madam began with her narratives,“ could you please send me to the charity house in suburb; I want to give them the luggage. I had been rendered help as a refugee there 50 years ago.” Kent was confused about the identity and behavior of the madam, so he asked, “Why do you do this at midnight?” The madam replied, “I retired on a pension. They prohibit (forbid) me from coming out during the day. In the case are the surplus jackets, jeans and pants of my nephews and nieces.”
After 2 hours‟ bump, Kent went out the entry of the charity house. They continued.
“Please wait a moment, Sit!” the madam said suddenly, fixed her eyesight on an old building. “You know the first house in the uppermost floor was the first home my husband and I leased (rented) where I dialed the up-to-date videophone the first time in my life. The landlord was a good guy.” She burst into tears, “Now they‟ve all gone to the heaven.” Kent realized the madam was recalling a section (segment) of the good missing days. A penetrating feeling overwhelmed him, and he decided to cancel his plan and stay with the old madam.
As the old madam dictated, they went to a golf playground. The region, she said, was a dairy dozens of years ago. Everyday she went to the farm with sleeve covers, 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
cushion, jar, towel and other auxiliary appliances. Her main work was to squeeze, transport and distribute milk. She also bred the cow sometimes.
Then the old madam instructed, “Please send me to the rest home in the town, sir.” Hearing this, Kent pulsed quickly. He knew the rest home was prescribed for the cancer patients who were diagnosed without any remedy.”
“Iwill soon die of liver cancer. I come out to say goodbye to my life. Now I will have no regrets before death . Thanks for your help!” the madam made an explanation with smile, walking into a timber room . Kent was dumb for a while. He was chewing what the madam said, happily thinking of her life without any regrets.
冬夜里的最后心愿
肯特是一位水泥经销部的经理。由于下属的背叛，他的公司已经濒临破产。刚才在会议室里，肯特已经向公司董事会作了报告，承认自己的失误，并且暂时停止了所有工程的水泥供应。
当时正值寒冷冬季的深夜。走廊里的温度计显示为零下9度。想着生意惨败，肯特情绪低落，独自驱车驶往一家酒吧。他打算今晚一醉方休。
大街上空无一人。突然，在车子前方出现了一个老妇人侧身站在站台旁，拖着一个便携式的行李箱，提着一个塑料袋。老人看上去已有80多岁，她穿着长袍，瘦弱的身躯，鼻子通红，站在寒风中瑟瑟发抖。此时，她不停地向肯特的车子招手。尽管肯特有些懊恼，也无心理会老人身上发生了什么 ，但不忍把她丢在这寒夜中。肯特想老人可能需要帮助。于是，他刹车停在了老人的面前。
老人说：“先生，您可不可以载我一程?我给你双倍的车费……”
肯特赶忙打断老人的话，说：“不用车费。快上车吧!”
老人又指了指地上的行李：“你可不可以帮我把它们放到车里?” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
肯特忙弯腰用力提起箱子和塑料袋，放进了车里。
他们上路继续向前行驶。肯特路过一家加油站，在加油站排队等候的时候，老人打开了话匣子，“你可不可以先送我到市郊的济贫院的救济呢!”肯特对老人的身份和行为充满迷惑，说“您为什么要选择半夜送过去呢?”老人缓缓地说：“我现在退休了，白天他们不允许我出来，箱子里是我侄子和侄女们穿剩下的夹克、牛仔裤和裤子。”
两个小时的颠簸后，肯特他们走出了济贫院的大门。他继续按照老人指的路线前进。
“先生，请停一停。”老人突然说。这时，她的视线透过车窗久久地停留在了街边一幢破旧的大楼上。“您知道吗，这幢楼顶层的第一间，那是我和丈夫曾经租住的第一间房啊!房东是个好人。那里是我终生第一次使用可视电话的地方!”这时，老人久久凝视的目光中有泪光闪烁。“但是现在，他们都先后离开了我，去了天堂。”肯特这才明白，老人是在追忆昔日的美好时光。他被震撼了，决定放下一切，陪着老人。
接着，他按照老人的要求到了一个高尔夫球场旁边。老人说这里几十年前曾是一个牛奶场。她每天带着袖套、坐垫、罐子、毛巾和其他辅助用具去牛奶场。她的主要工作是挤牛奶、运送并分发牛奶，有时也去饲养奶牛。
“先生，我有些累了，您还是送我去市区的疗养院吧。”老人说。肯特心头一阵惊悸。他知道市中心疗养院是专门收留无法救治的绝症病人的地方。
“我得了肝癌，我的时间已经不多了。这次，我是偷偷地从疗养院溜出来的。因为，我很想亲自向过去的一切告别。这样，在我人生结束的时候就没有遗憾了。非常感谢你的帮助!”老人微笑着解释，走进木房子里。肯特一时无语，他想着老人的话，感到欣慰，因为老人的内心真的没有遗憾了。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
Passage 8 Ambition
It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: without demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity. Competition would never enter in; conflict would be eliminated. Tension becomes a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of a heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart. Ah, how unrelieved boring life would be! There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events now. Not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon learns enough on one‟s own. But even the most cynical secretly admits that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.
抱
负
一个缺乏抱负的世界将会怎样，这不难想像。或许，这将是一个更为友善的世界：没有渴求，没有磨擦，没有失望。人们将有时间进行反思。他们所从事的工作将不是为了他们自身，而是为了整个集体。竞争将永远不会介入;冲突将被消除。人们的紧张关系将成为过往云烟。创造的重压将得以终结。艺术将不再惹人费神，其功能将纯粹为了庆典。人的寿命将会更长，因为由激烈拼争引起的心脏病和中风所导致的死亡将越来越少。焦虑将会消失。时光流逝，抱负却早已远离人心。
啊，长此以往人生将变得多么乏味无聊!
有一种盛行的观点认为，成功是一种神话，因此抱负亦属虚幻。这是不是说实际上并不存在成功?成就本身就是一场空?与诸多运动和事件的力量相比，男男女女的努力显得微不足道?显然，并非所有的成功都值得景仰，也并圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
非所有的抱负都值得追求。对值得和不值得的选择，一个人自然而然很快就能学会。但即使是最为愤世嫉俗的人暗地里也承认，成功确实存在，成就的意义举足轻重，而把世上男男女女的所作所为说成是徒劳无功才是真正的无稽之谈。认为成功不存在的观点很可能造成混乱。这种观点的本意是一笔勾销所有提高能力的动机，求取业绩的兴趣和对子孙后代的关注。
我们无法选择出生，无法选择父母，无法选择出生的历史时期与国家或是成长的周遭环境。我们大多数人都无法选择死亡，无法选择死亡的时间或条件。但是在这些无法选择之中，我们的确可以选择自己的生活方式：是勇敢无畏还是胆小怯懦，是光明磊落还是厚颜无耻，是目标坚定还是随波逐流。我们决定生活中哪些至关重要，哪些微不足道。我们决定，用以显示我们自身重要性的，不是我们做了什么，就是我们拒绝做些什么。但是不论世界对我们所作的选择和决定有多么漠不关心，这些选择和决定终究是我们自己作出的。我们决定。我们选择。而当我们决定和选择时，我们的生活便得以形成。最终构筑我们命运的就是抱负之所在。
Passage 9 True love, no expectations
I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with a little water and held it before me, and said this: You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes love. As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers around it and try to possess it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds. This is the greatest mistake that people do when 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
they meet love… They try to possess it, they demand, they expect… and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If you have people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don‟t expect. Advise, but don‟t order. Ask, but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring.
真爱，零期待
我曾有个朋友，我们的关系很亲密。有一次我们坐在游泳池边上，她在手掌里盛了点儿水，捧在我面前，说:你仔细看我手上这水了吗?那代表爱。只要你充满关爱地使你的手平展伸开，并允许它保持在那儿，它会永远在那儿。但是，如果你试图把你的手指在它周围合起并试图占有它，它会通过它找到的缝溢出去。这是人们遇到爱时所犯的最大的错误„„他们会试图占有它，他们会要求，他们会期待„„那就会像溢出你的手掌的水一样，爱也会从你身边撤退。 因为爱意味着自由,你不能改变它的本性。
如果你有爱的人，请允许他们自由地存在。要给予而不期待;建议而不命令;请求而不要求。这可能听起来简单，但它需要一辈子去实践。这就是真爱的秘诀。要真正去实践它，你必须对那些你爱的人没有期望，并给予无条件的关爱。
Passage 10 Variety is the source of creativity Variety is the source of creativity. Variety injects the fluid of creativity into the most hollow minds. To ensure a triumphant career, variety combined with flexibility to fit in diverse circumstances is the major truth nowadays. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
No housing can be constructed in one single day. The more one explores, the more different dimensions one will observe which can help to complete a job. It is logical to choose the best way of doing a thing among various available options. Innovation is your own discovering an unusual way to fulfil your aim, which might be an elaborate and perfect scheme, and would yield superb results. Innovation is not something that cannot be realized by us. Belief in yourself and the unique ability of giving concrete shape to your values and ideas are what separate boys from men. It takes a lot of courage to venture into the execution of your ideas. The initial phase is the toughest, for you may not be recognized or comprehended mentally. But survival in tough times is a test of your perseverance, endurance and determination. For undergraduates, they can spice up their lives with variety by focusing on extra activities apart from academic curriculum. It is evident that academics are the golden key to a good career and a secure job, but the books don‟t guide you to become smart in practice. No matter how long you have spent reading on skating, all the reading is useless, unless and until you put it into practice. Extra curricular activities help one to deal with people, and tell one the areas where theoretical theories can‟t be applied in real life and also change the individual‟s perspective and outlook to various problems. Also, time management would become easy by involving one in various activities, because only a busy man can find time.
Variety is the spice of life. Variety could activate the mind to open its creative 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
reserves.
变化是创造力的源泉
变化是创造力的源泉。变化为众多荒芜的心田注入了创造的汁液。变化和适应变化环境的灵活性是当今开创事业成功的必要条件。
罗马并不是一日建成的。你挖掘的越多，就越能够发现完成任务的各种各样的方法和方式。在各种现有的选项中挑选最好的方式才是符合逻辑的。创新是由你自己发现一种可以实现自己目标的独特的做事方式，它可能是事与一套精细完美的方案，并且会产生极好的效果。
创新并不是遥不可及的。相信自己，加上具有将价值观和想法赋予具体形式的独特能力会使我们脱颖而出。实施心中的想法需要很大的勇气去冒险。初期是最艰苦的，你可能会得不到真正的认可和理解。但是在不顺利的时候能否坚持下去，正是对你意志、忍耐力和决心的考验。
大学生可以通过课外活动把生活变得多姿多彩。很明显，学校所学的是通向一个好的职业和稳定工作的金钥匙，但是书本知识并不能让你在实践中变得聪慧。不管花多长时间阅读关于滑冰的书，你若不实践，阅读是毫无用处的。课外活动是帮助人们学习与人打交道的，只了解理论，在生活中的某些领域是行不通的，实践可以改变一个人看待不同问题的视角和观点。同时，通过参与各种不同的也使人更善于管理时间，因为只有忙碌着的人才会努力挤时间。 变化是生活的调味品。变化可以激活思维，开启创造的潜能。
Passage 11 Let Us Smile The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worthwhile, that costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men, will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the sun again. It‟s full of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent. It‟s worth a million dollars, and it doesn‟t cost a cent. There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile. It always has the same good look; it‟s never out of style. It nerves us to try again when failure makes us blue. The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you. It pays the highest interest—for it is merely lent. It‟s worth a million dollars, and it doesn‟t cost a cent. A smile comes very easy—you can wrinkle up with cheer, a hundred times before you can squeeze out a salty tear. It ripples out, moreover, to the heart strings that will tug, and always leaves an echo that is very like a hug. So, smile away! Folks understand what by a smile is meant. It‟s worth a million dollars, and it doesn‟t cost a cent.
让我们微笑吧
那最能赋予生命价值、代价最廉而回报最多的东西，不过是一个令人愉悦的微笑而已。
由衷地热爱同胞的微笑，会驱走心头阴郁的乌云，心底收获一轮夕阳。
它充满价值和美好，混合着坚毅的仁爱之心。它价值连城却不花一文。
当我们看到喜悦的微笑，忧伤就会一扫而光。它始终面容姣好，永不落伍;失败令我们沮丧之时，它鼓励我们再次尝试。 鼓励的笑靥于你我大有裨益。它支付的利息高昂无比——只因它是种借贷形式。它价值连城却不花一文。 来一个微笑很容易——嘴角欢快地翘起来，你能百次微笑，可难得挤出一圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Passage 12 If the Dream is Big Enough I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during recess. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood out from them all. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she said, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship. I like basketball. I decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don‟t count. ” Then she smiled and ran towards the court to recap the routine I had seen over and over again. Well, I had to give up to her—she was determined. I watched her through those junior years and into high school. Every week, she led her varsity team to victory. One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
what was wrong. “Oh, nothing, ” came a soft reply. “I am just too short. ” The coach told her that at 5′5〞she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team— much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship, that nothing could stop her except one thing—her own attitude. He told her again, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don‟t count. ” The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college recruiter. She was indeed offered a scholarship, a full ride, to a Division 1, NCAA women‟s basketball team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.
为了心中的梦想
我以前常常从厨房的窗户看到她穿梭于操场上的一群男孩子中间，她显得那么矮小。学校在我家的街对面，我可以经常看到孩子们在下课时间玩耍。尽管有一大群孩子，但我觉得她跟其他的孩子截然不同。我记得第一天看到她打篮球的情景。看着她在其他孩子旁边兜来转去，我感到十分惊奇。她总是尽力地跳起投篮，球恰好越过那些孩子的头顶飞入篮筐。那些男孩总是拼命地阻止她，但没有人可以做得到。我开始注意到她有时候一个人打球。她一遍遍地练习运球和投篮，有时直到天黑。有一天我问她为什么这么刻苦地练习。她直视着我的眼睛，不假思索地说: “我想上大学。只有获得奖学金我才能上大学。我喜欢打篮球，我想只要我打得好，我就能获得奖学金。我要到大学去打篮球。圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
我想成为最棒的球员。我爸爸告诉我说，心中有目标，风雨不折腰。”说完她笑了笑，跑向篮球场，又开始我之前见过的一遍又一遍的练习。 嘿，我服了她了——她是下定决心了。这些年我看着她从初中升到高中。每个星期，她带领的学校篮球队都能够获胜。
高中那会儿的某一天，我看见她坐在草地上，头埋在臂弯里。我穿过街道，坐到她旁边的清凉的草地上。我轻轻地问出什么事了。“哦，没什么，”她轻声回答，“只是我太矮了。”原来篮球教练告诉她，以五英尺五英寸的身材，她几乎是没有机会到一流球队去打球——更不用说会获得奖学金了——所以她应该放弃上大学的梦想。她很伤心，我也觉得自己的喉咙发紧，因为我感觉到了她的失望。我问她是否与她的爸爸谈过这件事。她从臂弯里抬起头，告诉我，她爸爸说那些教练错了。他们根本不懂得梦想的力量。他告诉她，如果她真的想到一个好的大学去打篮球，如果她真的想获得奖学金，任何东西也不能阻止她，除非她自己不愿意。他又一次跟她说：“心中有目标，风雨不折腰。”第二年，当她和她的球队去参加北加利福尼亚州冠军赛时，她被一位大学的招生人员看中了。她真的获得了奖学金，一个全面资助的奖学金，并且进入美国全国大学体育协会一级联赛的一支女子篮球队。她将接受她曾梦想并为之奋斗多年的大学教育。
Passage 13
Just for today Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a life time.
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. ” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my “luck” as it comes. Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don‟t want to do—just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it. Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself. Just for today I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision. Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life. Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
就为今天
就为了今天，我将尽力只度过今天而不立刻去解决终身的问题。对一件令我恐慌而又必须坚持一辈子的事，我能坚持十二个小时。 就为了今天，我会很快乐。亚伯拉罕·林肯说过，“对于大多数人而言，他们认定自己有多幸福，就有多幸福。”这已经被认为是真理。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
就为了今天，我会做自我调整适应事物本来的面目，而不是想方设法使每一件事满足自己的欲望。当“幸运”来临时我会抓住它。 就为了今天，我会尽力心强志坚。我会学习，学一些有用的东西。我不会做一个精神上的流浪汉。我会读一些需要努力、思考和专注的东西。
就为了今天，我会用三种方法来磨炼我的灵魂。我会做对某人有利的事但不能被发现，若有人发现了就不算数。我将会做至少两件我不愿做的事情 ——只为了磨炼。我不会让任何人感到我的感情受到了伤害：它们可能受到了伤害，但今天我不会表现出来。 就为了今天，我会过得很惬意。我会尽力达到最佳状态，穿着得体、讲话谦虚、行为礼貌、一点不吹毛求疵，尽量改进和调节自己而不是别人。 就为了今天，我会制定一个计划，我也许不会严格地遵守它，但我一定要有计划。我会避免两种错误：仓促行事和优柔寡断。 就为了今天，我将会独自静静地呆上半小时放松。在这半小时里，某个时刻，我会对我日后的生活有个更好的看法。 就为了今天，我将不再害怕。尤其我不会再害怕享受美丽的事物，并且相信我给予世界的，世界也会给予我。
Passage 14 Making Sandcastles A little boy is on his knees scooping and packing the sand with plastic shovels into a bright blue bucket. Then he upends the bucket on the surface and lifts it. And, to the delight of the little architect, a castle tower is created. All afternoon he will work，scooping out the moat and packing the walls. Bottle tops will be sentries. Sticks will be bridges. A sandcastle will be 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
built.
Big city, busy streets, rumbling traffic.
A man is in his office. At his desk he puts papers into stacks and assigns tasks. The phone is on his shoulder and he is knocking the keyboard with his fingers. Contracts are signed and much to the delight of the man, a profit is made. All his life he will work，formulating the plans, forecasting the future. Profits will be sentries. Capital gains will be bridges. An empire will be built. Two builders of two castles. They have much in common. They shape little pebbles into grand buildings. They are diligent and determined. And for both the tide will rise and the end will come. Yet that is where the similarities stop. For the boy sees the end while the man ignores it. As the waves near, the wise child jumps to his feet and begins to clap. There is no sorrow. No fear. No regret. He knew this would happen. He is not surprised. And when the great breaker crashes into his castle and his masterpiece is sucked into the sea, he smiles, picks up his tools, takes his father‟s hand, and goes home. The grownup, however, is not so wise. As the wave of years collapses on his castle he is terrified. He tries to protect the sandy monument. He blocks the waves from the walls he has made. Salt-water soaked and shivering he snarls at the incoming tide.
“It‟s my castle, ” he protests.
The ocean need not respond. Both know to whom the sand belongs. . . I don‟t know much about sandcastles. But children do. Watch them and learn. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
Go ahead and build, but build with a child‟s heart. When the sun sets and the tides take——applaud. Salute the process of life and go home.
堆沙堡的小男孩
一个小男孩跪在那儿用塑料铲挖沙子，并把沙子装在一个鲜艳的蓝桶里。然后他把蓝桶倒扣在地上，把它提起。让这小建筑师高兴的是：一座城堡的塔楼就这样诞生了。 他会干一下午：挖护城河，建城墙，用瓶盖做岗哨，用木棍做桥，就这样，一座城堡建成了。
某个大城市，喧嚣的街道，川流不息的交通。
办公室里有一位男士。坐在办公桌前，他把文件堆叠在一起，布置任务。他将电话夹在肩头，手指敲击键盘。合同签字生效，让这位男士高兴的是，一笔利润就这样到手了。 他一生都会工作：构想计划，预测未来。利润就是岗哨，资本收益就是桥梁。一个帝国就这样建成了。 这两座城堡的建筑者有许多共同之处。他们会把细小的沙石变成宏伟的建筑。他们很用心也很有决心，而对于他们两个而言，涨潮都会发生，一切都会结束。然而，共同点到此为止。因为，男孩看得到终点，而这位成年人却忽视它。 巨浪来临时，聪明的男孩欢呼，跳跃。没有痛苦，没有恐惧，没有遗憾。他知道这一切都会发生，他并不感到惊讶。 当这巨大的破坏者击碎他的城堡，将他的杰作卷入大海，男孩笑了，收拾好他的工具，拉着父亲的手，回家。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
然而，这位成年人却并不如此明智，当岁月的巨浪击毁他的城堡，他害怕了，他试图保护这沙质纪念碑。他试图阻止巨浪袭击他建的城墙。咸的海水将他的城堡湮没。他颤抖着怒骂涌入的浪潮。
“这是我的城堡，”他抗议道。
海洋不需要回应。两者都明白沙子的归宿。
我对沙堡所知甚少。
但孩子们知道，他看他们，学习他们。 去建造吧，带着一颗童心。
当太阳落山，潮水占领沙滩——拍手喝彩， 向生命的过程敬礼，回家。
Passage 15 I’m Special
In the entire world there‟s nobody like me. Since the beginning of time, there has never been another person like me. Nobody has my smile. Nobody has my eyes, my nose, my hair, my hands, or my voice. I‟m special.
No one can be found who has my handwriting. Nobody anywhere has my tastes—for food or music or art. No one sees things just as I do. In all of time there‟s been no one who laughs like me, no one who cries like me. And what makes me laugh and cry will never provoke identical laughters and tears from anybody else, never. No one reacts to any situation just as I would react. I‟m special. I‟ m the only one in all of creation who has my set of abilities. Oh, there will always be somebody who is better at one of the things I‟m good at, but no one in the 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
universe can reach the quality of my combination of talents, ideas, abilities and feelings. Like a room full of musical instruments, some may excel alone, but none can match the symphony sound when all are played together. I‟m a symphony. Through all of eternity no one will ever look, talk, walk, think or do like me. I‟m special. I‟m rare. And, in all rarity there is great value. Because of my great rare value, I need not attempt to imitate others. I will accept—yes, indeed, celebrate—my differences. I‟m special. And I‟m beginning to realize it‟s no accident that I‟m special. I‟m beginning to see that I have been made for a very special purpose. There is a job for me that no one else can do as well as I. Out of all the billions of job applicants, only one is qualified, only one has the right combination of what it takes. That one is me. Because. . . I‟m special.

Passage 16 Write Your Own Life Suppose someone gave you a pen—a sealed, solid-colored pen. You couldn‟t see how much ink it had. It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don‟t know before you begin. Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance!
Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused. But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game? Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing? Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Passage 17 Prayer for My Mother Dear God, Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them。 I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen。 How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes her mother really is? How does a grown woman thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying, “I told you so”, when she could have uttered these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself—loving, thoughtful, patient and forgiving? I don‟t know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine。

为母亲祈祷
亲爱的上帝： 如今我已不再年轻，一些朋友的母亲已经去世了。我曾听这些子女们说过，他们从没有向母亲充分表达过他们的感激之情，而待到要告诉时为时已晚了。 幸运的是，我亲爱的母亲依然健在。我对她的感激与日俱增。母亲没有变，而我却变了。随着年岁的增长，我越来越懂事了，我认识到她是个非常了不起的人。这些话在她面前我难以启齿，但在笔下却可以轻易地写出来，这令我感到多么难过。 一个女儿该怎样开口感谢她的母亲所给予的生命?感谢她在抚养孩子时所付出的爱、耐心以及平凡的无私的辛劳?感谢她跟在蹒跚学步的孩子身后奔跑，对情绪不定的少女的理解，以及对一个自以为是的大学生的宽容?感谢她等待女儿认识到她真是一位好母亲的这一天? 一个成年女子该怎样感谢母亲依然如故的角色?感谢(在被问到时)她会及时提供良言，而在不需要时她会保持沉默?感谢她没有说：“我告诉过你”，而她本来可以说上许多次?感谢她始终不变的爱心、体贴周到、耐心与宽容厚道? 我不知道该怎样来表达，亲爱的上帝，除了请求你好好地保佑她——那是她该得到的——并帮助我朝她做出的榜样看齐。我祈愿在我的孩子们的眼里我会如同母亲在我眼里一般好。

when your talents are set free by your imagination, you can achieve any goal. If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it gratefully. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
You can learn much from those who have gone before you. But never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and head off in your own direction if your heart tells you that it‟s the right way for you. Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and determination. You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.
设立更高远的目标
总是设立比你认为力所能及的更高远的目标。通常，你会发现，当想像力放飞了你的才能时，你就能实现任何目标。 在你的人生历程中，如果有人给予你帮助或传授你智慧，你要心怀感激地接受。你可以从前辈那里学到很多宝贵的东西。但是，当你的内心已经明确知道怎样的路才是真正适合你的时候，要敢于脱离既定的轨道去追求你自己的方向，不要害怕或迟疑。 永远相信：无论你做什么，你终究会成功，并且不要忘记坚持、自律和决心的价值。你注定会成为你梦想要成为的那个人。
Passage 19 Would Rather Complain, Or Be Happy? If we really want to be happy, why do we act like such babies? We can claim to be proactive in our life by settings goals and going after what we want. But if we‟re always whining and complaining all the time, are we really living effectively? If you don‟t believe me, count how many times you complain about something or others in one day. Whether it is being stuck in traffic, being bothered by the weather, 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
not enough mustard on your sandwich, or whatever it is, there are endless instances where you can find a reason to complain. But it‟s not just outside circumstances that we complain about. We complain about ourselves too. We complain that we don‟t have enough time, that we don‟t have enough money (this one is huge because it‟s often “true”), that we‟re not smart enough, cool enough, or just enough.
I know I‟ve experienced plenty of unpleasantness due to complaining about things I can‟t control. I never really thought about it much until I found this website about “living in a complain-free world. ” Imagine how much happier you would be if you simply stopped complaining. Much of what you complain about is outside of your control anyway. What‟s the point of brooding about something you have no power to change? Not very intelligent, if you ask me. Simply becoming conscious of how much you complain is the first step to stopping. When you recognize that you‟re complaining, stop and take notice of it. Ask yourself if you would rather complain, or be happy.
要抱怨，还是要快乐?
如果我们真得想要高兴，为什么要像小孩子那样呢?
我们可以积极主动地在我们生活中设定目标，然后向着目标进发。但是如果我们整天牢骚满腹，怨天尤人的话，我们还能有效地生活吗? 如果你不相信我，仔细想想你一天要抱怨几次。不管是因为被糟糕的交通困住，被天气所困扰，还是三明治上芥末放得不够，总之生活中有无数的烦心事可以让你抱怨。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
不仅仅外部的环境让我们抱怨，我们还不断地抱怨我们自己。比如时间不够多啊，钱不够花啊(这个最多，因为它往往更“真实”)，不够聪明不够冷静啊，反正什么看上去都不够好。 我知道，因为抱怨自己不能控制的事情，我已经历了许多的不开心。我没有仔细思考过这个问题，直到有一天我发现这个叫“活在没有抱怨的世界中”的网站。 想想吧，如果你停止抱怨的话你会变得多么快乐。反正那些事情又无力改变，整天想着那些你无力改变的事情又有什么意义呢?如果你来问我，我会说那样很愚蠢。 停止抱怨要做的第一步就是想清楚你有多能抱怨。当你意识到自己在抱怨的时候，停下来，问问自己是要变得快乐还是继续这样抱怨下去。
Passage 20 Life Is Like a Cup of Coffee A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some exquisite—telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said,
“If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. ” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
“Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. ” “What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you unconsciously went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each other‟s cup.”
“Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups! Don‟t let the cups drive you . . . enjoy the coffee instead. ”
生命如同一杯咖啡
一群毕业生，相约一起去看望他们年老的大学教授。
谈话一会儿就变成了各自对工作和生活压力的抱怨。在用咖啡招待这些客人时，教授去厨房端来一大壶咖啡，并拿出各式各样的咖啡杯——陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有看上去普通的、有价值不菲的、有做工精细的——让他们自己倒咖啡喝。
当所有学生手中都端了一杯咖啡后，教授发话了：
“如果你们注意一下，就会发现所有好看的昂贵的杯子都被挑走了，剩下的只是那些普通的和便宜的。当然，每个人都只想拥有最好的，这很正常，但这也是你们的问题和压力的根源所在。” “可以肯定的是，杯子本身与咖啡质量毫无关系。在很多时候，杯子让咖啡更昂贵，某些时候，甚至让我们看不清我们要喝的是什么。” “其实你们真正想要的是咖啡，而不是杯子，但你们却又都下意识去挑选最好的杯子，并观察别人拿到的杯子。” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
“现在设想一下：如果生活是杯中的咖啡，工作、财富和社会地位就是那些杯子。它们只是维持生活的工具而已，并不能界定或是改变生活的质量。有时候，我们在过于关注杯子的同时却忘记了去品味上帝赐予的咖啡。请仔细品味咖啡，而不是那些杯子。所以，不要成为杯子的奴隶„„好好品味杯中的咖啡。”
Passage 21 Life Is Like a Cafeteria A friend‟s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After settling down at Ellis Island,
he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan to get something to eat.
He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did.
Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him how a cafeteria worked. “Start out at that end, ” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they‟ll tell you how much you have to pay. ” “I soon learned that‟s how everything works in America, ” the grandfather told a friend.
“Life‟s like a cafeteria here.
You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success,
but you‟ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself. ”
生活就像自助餐
一个朋友的祖父从东欧来到美国。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
在埃利斯岛安顿下来后，
他去曼哈顿下城的一家自助餐厅吃饭。
他在一张空桌子边坐下，等待侍者拿来菜单。
当然没有人来招呼他。
最后，一位女士拿着满满一托盘食物走过来坐在他对面。并告诉他自助餐厅是怎样进餐的。 她说：“从那头开始，依次去要你想要的东西，在餐厅的另外一端会有人告诉你该付多少钱。”
他对一个朋友说：“接着我很快了解到这就是美国人的生活方式。”
“生活就像自助餐，
你可以去要你想要的任何东西，只要你能付得起他们的价格。
你也可以想要成功，但是如果你什么都不做就等着别人把它送到你身边的话是永远都不可能得到的。 你必须勤劳，必须自己去追求它。”
Passage 22 Growth When we plant a rose seed in the earth, we notice it is small, but we do not criticize it as “rootless and stemless. ” We treat it as a seed, giving it the water and nourishment required of a seed. When it first shoots up out of the earth, we don‟t condemn it as immature and underdeveloped, nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear. We stand in wonder at the process taking place, and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development.
The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.
A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is the same thing—a flower in the process of expressing its potential.
成长
一粒微小的玫瑰花子被植入土壤中时，我们并不因它“无根无茎”而加以批评。我们把它当作一粒种子来对待，施予它所需的水分和养料。 当它刚刚破土而出时，我们不因它幼稚、发育不良而诋毁它;当出现花蕾时，我们也不因它们不绽放而责备它。我们会惊喜地目睹整个过程。在它成长的不同阶段，给予它所需的照顾。 玫瑰，从一粒种子开始，到凋零，直至死亡，始终是玫瑰。在它生命的每时每刻，体内都蕴藏着巨大的潜能。它似乎总在不断地变化，但是在任何阶段，任何时刻，都是最真实、最完美的。 一朵花，在每一阶段都是相同的，无论是尽情绽放的花朵还是含苞欲放的花蕾，都是这朵花——一朵时刻展现自己潜能的花。
Passage 23 Chances Exist In the Daily Details John and Bobby joined a wholesale company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to the position of manager while John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it any more. He tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him. The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought for a 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
moment and said, “Thank you for your criticism, but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your mind and take back your resignation. ” John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelon. The boss asked how much per kg. John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to inform the boss $1. 2 per kg. Boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelon in the market. Bobby went, returned and said, “Boss, only one person selling watermelon. $1. 2 per kg, $10 for 10kg. He has inventory of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons; every melon weights about 2 kg, bought from the South two days ago. They are fresh and red, good quality.” John was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided not to resign but to learn from Bobby. My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, thinks more and explores in depth. Chances exist in the daily details. For the same matter, a more successful person sees more and further so that he can find out an opportunity and catch it to realize his aim. If a person sees one year ahead, while another sees only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times. How could you win?
机遇在于生活的细节
约翰和博比同年大学毕业后，被同一家批发公司录用。他们二人工作都很圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
努力。然而，几年后，老板提拔博比为部门经理，而约翰还是一名普通员工。约翰再也无法忍受，冲动之下向老板递交了辞呈，并抱怨老板不会用人，不重用那些敬业的员工，只提拔那些奉承他的人。 老板知道这几年约翰工作确实很努力。他想了一会儿说：“谢谢你对我的批评。但是我有一个请求，我希望在你离开之前再为公司做一件事情。或许到时你会改变决定，收回辞呈。” 约翰答应了。 老板让他去市场找到一个卖西瓜的人。约翰去了并很快回来。他说他找到了一个卖西瓜的人。老板问他每公斤多少钱。约翰摇摇头，回到市场去问，然后又回来告诉老板每公斤1. 2美元。 老板让约翰等一会儿，这时他把博比叫到办公室。他让博比去市场找到一个卖西瓜的人。博比去了，回来之后说：“老板，只有一个卖西瓜的人，每公斤 1. 2美元，每10公斤卖10美元。这个人一共有340个西瓜，其中58个放在货架上，每个西瓜重约2公斤，都是两天前从南方买来的，新鲜，红瓤，质量好。” 约翰受到很大的触动，他意识到自己与博比之间的差距。他决定收回辞呈并向博比学习。
亲爱的朋友们，成功的人更善于观察，勤于思考和孜孜探求。机遇就存在于生活的细节中。同样的一件事，一个成功的人会看得更多更远，所以他能抓住机遇，实现梦想。如果有人看到一年后的情景，而你只看到明天。一年与一天的差距是365倍，你怎么能赢呢?
Passage 24 With One Glass of Milk One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods from door to door found that he had only one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don‟t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later, the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to a big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room. Dressed in his doctor‟s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to her case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words， “Paid in full with one glass of milk.” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently, “Thank You, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands. ”
一杯牛奶的温暖
一天，一个可怜的小男孩儿为凑足学费正挨家挨户地推销商品。他发现身上只剩一角钱了，此时他很饿，因此决定从下一家要点儿吃的。
然而，当一位年轻貌美的女子打开门时，他却紧张得不知所措。他没有要吃的，只是要了口水喝。女子看到小男孩儿饥饿的样子，顿生怜悯之心，便倒了一大杯牛奶递给他。他慢慢地喝光了牛奶，问道：“我需要付您多少钱呢?”
“你不必付钱给我，”女子答道，“妈妈教育我说，爱心善举，不求回报。”男孩说：“那么我就发自内心地向您说声谢谢!”当霍华德· 凯利走出这户人家时，他不仅觉得浑身充满了力量，也对上帝和整个人类充满了信心。原本，他就要放弃。
若干年后，那位女子得了重病，当地医生都束手无策。最后，她转院到大城市，接受专家会诊。著名的霍华德·凯利医生也参与了医疗方案的制定。当他得知这位病人来自那个城镇时，一个奇怪的念头闪过，他立即起身直奔她的病房。
身着白大褂的凯利医生走进了病房，一眼便认出了那个女子，她正是他的恩人。回到诊室，他下定决心要竭尽全力医治她。从那天起，他就对她给予了特殊的照顾。
经过艰苦卓绝的努力，手术终获成功。凯利医生要求把医药费结算单送到他那儿。他看了一下，便在旁边写了一些东西。当结算单送到女子的病房时，她甚至不敢打开来看，因为她知道这笔医药费一定极其昂贵，或许她要用整个圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
余生去偿还。最后，她还是鼓足勇气打开了看，她注意到单子旁边的一行小字，上面写着：
“医药费已由一杯牛奶付清。” (署名)霍华德·凯利医生
喜悦的泪水夺眶而出，她不禁默默祈祷：“感谢您，上帝!您的爱已经通过人类的心灵和双手传递开来。”
Passage 25 Sow an Action, Reap a Habit Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny, ” the maxim goes.
Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken. ” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn‟t a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.
Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to the earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull—more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply embedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.
Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.
卓越仅仅是个习惯
人的性格基本上是由习惯组成的。正如一句格言：思想决定行动，行动决定习惯，习惯决定性格，性格决定命运。 习惯对我们的生活有很大的影响，因为它是一贯的。 在不知不觉中， 经年累月地影响着我们的性格，左右着我们的成败。 美国著名教育家霍拉斯·曼曾说：“习惯就仿佛是一条缆绳，我们每天为它缠上一股新索，不用多久就会变得牢不可破。”这句话的后半段我不敢苟同，我相信习惯可以养成，也可以打破，但绝不是一蹴而就，而是需要长期的努力和无比的毅力。 宇航员搭乘阿波罗11号太空船，首次登陆月球的刹那的确令人叹为观止。但宇航员得先摆脱地球强大的引力，才能飞往月球。因此在刚起飞的几分钟，圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌
也就是整个任务一开始的几英里之内，是最艰难的时刻，所耗的力量往往超越往后的几十万英里。 习惯也是一样，它也具有极大的引力，只是许多人不加注意或不肯承认罢了。想要革除诸如因循苟且，缺乏耐心，吹毛求疵或自私自利等违背人类效率基本原则的不良习性，若是缺乏意志力，不能大刀阔斧地改革，便难以实现目标。“起飞”需要极大的努力，然而一旦脱离重力的牵绊，我们便可享受前所未有的自由。 习惯的引力就如同自然界所有的力量一般，可能危害我们，也可以为我们所用，关键看我们如何运用。习惯或许一时有碍于达到目标，但也有积极的一面。宇宙万物各循轨道运行，彼此保持一定的秩序，毕竟也都有赖于引力的作用。所以只要我们善于运用习惯的庞大引力，就能使生活有重心，有秩序，有效率。
Passage 26 Love Is a Two-way Street A father sat at his desk poring over his monthly bills when his young son rushed in and announced, “Dad, because this is your birthday and you‟re 55 years old, I‟m going to give you 55 kisses, one for each year! ” When the boy started making good on his word, the father exclaimed, “Oh, Andrew, don‟t do it now; I‟m too busy! ”
The youngster immediately fell silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes. Apologically the father said, “You can finish later.”
双语美文范文第4篇
双语教学是指通过采用两种语言作为教学媒介, 帮助学生在有意和无意之间学会两种语言的使用技巧。而不是在学校里开设两门独立的语言课程。
目前对双语教学有一种误解, 认为双语教学就是全部使用英语授课。在笔者进行的学科双语教学课堂观察中, 经常会出现这样的情况:教师为了追求全英语授课, 教学中过分回避使用汉语, 但由于教师或学生英语水平的局限, 师生又难以自如地完全用英语进行教与学的活动, 学生学习中思维的主动性、流畅性和创造性受到一定的限制, 这样就会影响学科教学目标的达成, 造成学科损伤、本末倒置的后果。
在教学的过程中, 我们认真研究总结了双语教学中出现的问题, 坚持进行双语教学, 实践表明, 双语教学取得了较好的教学效果, 学生反映良好。
本文从实际出发, 详细的对《结构力学》这门课双语课程在教学过程进行了总结。那就是:排除一个障碍, 解决好三个关系。
1 排除学生的认识障碍
在试点前的准备工作中, 我们设想了许多可能出现的困难和障碍。首先想到的是英语阅读的障碍, 针对这个问题, 我们进行了专门调查。其方法是:在原版教材中选取一段约2000词的内容, 在教师讲解了专业技术语汇之后, 有58%的学生不用字典在20分钟内能顺利的翻译出来, 42%的学生借助字典在30分钟内翻译出来了。此调查结果说明:在普通本科中开展双语教学是可行的。这一结论坚定了我们搞好双语教学试点的信心。
但同时, 我们也思考了另一个问题, 就是双语学科教学中多大比例地使用英语, 要根据学生已有的英语语言基础和学习能力而定, 总得来说应该由少到多、由简到繁、日积月累, 循序渐进。起始阶段, 可以采取用英语组织教学、用双语呈现一些术语、专用词, 鼓励而不是强迫学生用双语表述概念、定义或解题, 先输入、再输出, 随着逐渐的积累, 学生用来思维的英语语言材料越来越多, 他们的双语思维活动就会越来越流畅、越来越主动、越来越活跃。
在此基础上, 我们组织几次学生座谈会, 要求学生发表看法。
在座谈会上, 学生谈了许多认识问题, 归纳出来大致以下两个方面:一是英语影响专业技术内容的学习。二是有些同学认为不准备出国, 学那么多的英语有什么用途?还不如多学点专业技术, 毕业后好找工作。
看来双语教学的主要障碍不是英语, 而是认识问题。
针对这一问题, 我们组织学生学习教育部《关于加强高等学校本科教学工作提高教学质量的若干意见》等文章, 请搞过科研的老师谈自己搞科研的经历和体会。通过学习使学生认识到:我们的人才培养面临经济全球化, 信息交流国际化的大背景, 而英语是一种国际化的语言。我们的教育要与国际接轨, 办许多事情要按照国际统一的规则进行。如果国际化水平低, 在国际市场上就要受到影响。
也有学生说:当今世界最通用的语言是英语, 科技交流更是英语。学会了本专业的科技英语, 能使我们更好的检索、利用最新、最先进的科学文献, 因为从20世记中后期以后高水平的科技文献绝大多学都是英文的, 发表论文和专著、国际会议一般使用的也是英文。用英语撑握科学与技术能使我们自信地走向世界, 更为有效的了解世界和参与国际交流。
通过座谈, 排除了学生的认识障碍, 使绝大多数学生感到双语教学不仅有意义, 而且势在必行。
2 处理好三个关系
在认识提高的基础上, 我们认为, 处理好英文教材与中文教材这间, 学技术与学英语之间, 讲课、作业与考试之间的这三个关系, 对保证双语教学的顺利进行并取得好的教学效果是非常重要的。
2.1 处理好中文教材与英文教材的关系
要针对本课程需要选择好教材, 在双语教学中, 最好有外国原版教材, 国外教材突出的特点是系统性、理论性和实用性强, 语言地道。国外教材中还大量配有各种案例, 通过对案例的分析, 能提高学生分析问题、解决问题的能力, 使学生能把学到的东西应用到实际工作中去。
有的院校大力提倡双语教学, 然而所使用教材还是中文教材, 结果这种教学只能停留在提倡号召上, 而不能真正地落实到课堂上去。这就要求双语教师能够根据我国课程标准的要求, 选择原版教材的有关内容进行整合。因为对教师和学生双方来说, 用中文教材可比用英文教材容易得多。我们认为, 要搞好双语教学训必须下大决心, 读英文原版教材, 讲英文原版教材。能过教研室的几个老师的商议和研究, 我们参考原版英文教材, 开始着手编写适合我们自己使用的英语教材。并将它投入了使用, 这本教材行文流畅, 深度广度适中, 简单易学, 受到了同行的好评。
在英文教材使用中, 我们紧紧把握教学大纲控制教学的深度和教学的难度, 经常来参照中文教材掌握教学内容的准确度。例如说, 有些内容在中文教材和英文教材的侧重点是不同的, 对于这样一些由于中外思维方式的差异而导致的教学内容的差别, 我们在教学过程中采取了既吸收英文教材简练实用的特点, 又兼顾中文教材逻辑性强、思维缜密的优点的方法, 使同学们在比较式的学习中既开阔了眼界, 又掌握了知识。在课堂上, 重要的内容让学生阅读英文教材, 让学生翻译出来, 使学生的英语阅读能力和对专业技术的理解能力得到了大大的提高。
2.2 工科理科学技术与学英语间的关系
从双语教学的字面意思来看, 专业技术和英语水平都要有所长进。然而, 如果没有主次, 平均用兵的话, 是违反辩证法的, 肯定达不到预期的效果。在处理这个关系的时候, 我们把学好专业技术作为双语教学的最终目的, 而把英语作为获取专业技术知识的工具。在制定教学大纲的时候, 我们将双语教学的大纲在教学时数上高出10%, 在内容上不低于中文大纲的要求。在实施中, 我们要求教师提前给学生列好生词表, 学生提前做好课前预习。在讲课时, 我们要求教师做好英文板书, 用汉语讲解。对于专业技术词汇, 在写英文板书的时候用括号标出其汉语称谓, 防止学生学了英文教材而看不懂汉语教材。
尽管是双语教学, 然而我们在《结构力学》的汉语教学中有许多优秀的教学经验和先进的教学方法, 我们不能割断历史, 而应继承下来并把它应用在双语教学上。
总之, 双语教学为学生学习专业技术提供了两个工具, 哪个好使用哪个, 为提高学生的能力提供了两条途径, 哪个简捷走哪个。
2.3 处理好讲课、作业与考试间的关系
我们认为, 双语教学是个系统工程, 从讲课到作业直至考试, 都应该用双语教学来统帅。其中任何一个环节出了问题, 都会使双语教学的成果落空。为此, 我们从布置作业、做作业到批改作业, 全程都贯彻着这个主题。为了使同学们更好地适应双语教学, 提高学习兴趣, 我们采取了分两阶段学习法:在学期前半阶段, 我们教学时以中文讲授为主, 布置作业时要求学生把英文题目抄下来并翻译成中文, 答题时可以采用中英文混合答题;在后半阶段, 我们教学过程中尽量多穿插一些英文, 答题要求全部用英文。当然, 对学生如何理解题意, 还要进行训练, 尤其是类型题。特别值得一提的是, 考试是教学的指挥棒, 开课之初就应该明确告诉学生, 用英语试卷进行考试, 使学生学习目标更明确。
另外, 在教学方法上, 我也冥思苦想, 总结经验, 简单的说就是要使用简明扼要、语速适中、便于理解的教学语言。现代化教学手段的有效使用都是成功的双语课堂教学的必要条件, 它们会有效地促进学生对课程内容的理解和掌握, 促进学科教学目标的达成。
我们的专业课教学, 专业课是根本, 只不过是用另外一种语言在传授, 双语教学的目的应该是一箭双雕, 决不能本末倒置。
通过这几年的双语教学, 与同期单用汉语进行教学的班级相比, 学生专业技术的学习成绩并没有什么影响。从学期的期末考试成绩可以看出, 在专业技术知识考察难度相当的条件上, 双语教学班级考试成绩的优秀率、及格率同单用汉语教学的班级相比, 基本持平。然而学生的英语水平, 特别是英文阅读能力却大大提高, 在近年来的学生考研和英语四、六级考试中, 学生们高兴的表示双语教学对他们的考试起了非常大的作用。
3 结语
(1)本文分析了进行双语教学的困难并进行了讨论, 对以后高校开展双语教学有重要指导意义。
(2)通过使用双语教学和单语教学的效果对比, 阐述了双语教学的优点, 对双语教学的未来有较强促进意义。
摘要：本文主要谈了河南理工大学土木工程学院在《结构力学》课程中开展双语教学的几点体会, 概括起来是“排除一个障碍, 处理好三个关系”, 即排除学生的认识障碍, 处理好英文教材与中文教材间的关系, 处理好学专业技术与学英语间的关系, 处理好讲课、作业与考试的关系。初步取得了一定的成绩, 但也有些问题尚需解决。

双语美文范文第5篇
为科学推进我校双语教育工作，依据《新疆维吾尔自治区少数民族学前和中小学双语教育发展规划(2010—2020年)》和《柯坪县双语教育发展规划》，结合我校实际，制定本规划。
一、基础分析 1.学校概况
本校是我我县推进义务教育均衡发展的重大项目，也是目前为止，最大的援疆项目。学校高起点规划，高标准施工，教学区、运动区，办公区、生活区齐备，整体布局合理。占地面积50926平方米，建筑面积28000平方米，概算投入近七千万元。学校于2011年开工建设，2012年11月20日投入使用，原柯坪二小的13个班级495名学生迁入。2013年2月，石化希望小学整体和玉尔其、盖孜力两个乡的8所小学的4至6年级学生并入我校，现在学生1609人，班级42个，住校学生1036人。教职工210人，其中职工37人，生活指导教师21人。学校仪器设备全部在自治区相关要求配备，投入使用后，进一步促进了两乡一镇的教育资源整合，极大地提升了办学条件。
2.发展优势
首先，《新疆维吾尔自治区少数民族学前和中小学双语教育发展规划(2010—2020年)》出台，标志着自治区把推进双语教育作为实现新疆跨越式发展和长治久安的战略举措，作为推进新疆教育跨越式发展的重要任务，摆在了特殊重要的地位。其次，柯坪县历来重视教育，县委县府把教育作为促进柯坪发展的根本之策。我校作为最大的援疆项目，得到了县级领导和县教科局的高度重视，多次
1 来学校调研视察，为学校发展指明方向。第三，集中办学，有利于教育资源的整合，特别是教师队伍的整合，有利于双语教育的发展，有利于教育教学质量的提高。第四，学校硬件一流，被誉为“湖州最美小学”，学校重视优质育人环境的打造，重视校园文化建设，都为学校的发展，特别是双语教育的发展，打下了扎实的基础。
3.制约因素和面临的挑战
首先是三风建设面临挑战。学校刚成立，由十所学校的师生合并而成。对学校认同感，特别是优良的校风、教风、学风还未形成，在合校的基础上，如何做到合心、合力、达到和谐，还需要全校师生的共同努力。其次学校领导班子也是一个全新的班子，成员大多来自农村学校，班子的凝聚力、战斗力还未真正显现，特别是管理能力有待于进一步加强。第三是各种模式杂陈，对教学管理是一个挑战。目前的42个班，共分汉语普通班(13个)、民语普通班(22个)、模式一(7个)三种模式，从2013年下半年起，还将增加模式二，在今后的五年中，四种模式并存的情况将一直存在。第四是双语教师队伍不能满足双语教育发展的需要。随着民语普通班的逐年减少，模式一及模式二的班级将不断增加，双语教师的缺口将会显现，学校教师队伍将出现严重的结构性不平衡。另外教师教育理念、执教能力不能满足需要。第五，教学质量低下，特别是民语部汉语课、数学课教学质量亟待提高，从目前情况来看，合格率、平均分、优秀率与自治区双语教学的质量要求有较大差距。
二、指导思想、基本原则和目标任务 1.指导思想。

双语美文范文第6篇
1 我国双语教学的定义及目的
双语教学的界定可以划分为广义的双语教学和狭义的双语教学。广义的双语教学是指在学校中使用两种语言的教学。狭义的双语教学指的是学校中使用第二语言或外语教授数学、物理、生物、化学、地理、历史等非语言学科内容的教学。狭义的双语教学也可以概括成为我国双语教学的定义。
双语教学在国际上的历史可谓是源远流长, 由于某些特定的政治和历史原因, 在世界上的某些地区, 如加拿大的魁北克省、西欧的一些国家, 新加坡、印度等, 都存在两种或两种以上语言。在这些地区或国家, 实施双语教学的目的, 不仅是为了培养双语人才, 更多的是基于民族和谐共处、种族同化、文化认同、社会稳定等社会和政治需要。而在我国, 实施双语教学的最直接最主要的目的就是想通过教师运用英语对一些自然、社会科学科目的讲授来提高学生的英语水平和综合能力, 培养双语人才, 满足国家、地区和学生未来发展的需要。
2 我国双语教学中所存在的问题
当前, 双语教学在中国正成为一个教育热点话题, 越来越多的地区开展了双语教学的实验。双语教学在实践过程中确实取得了一定的教学成果, 但同时也暴露出了很多值得我们思考的问题。
2.1 师资问题
缺少合格的双语教学教师一直是制约我国双语教学发展的关键问题。实施双语教学, 师资是关键。教师必须具备外语教育素质与专业教育素质。而目前我国双语教师存在的问题是总体水平参差不齐, 外语水平较高的教师一般不具备专业知识, 而懂专业知识的教师其外语水平, 特别是口语表达能力相对低下, 难以胜任双语教学任务。
2.2 教材问题
目前我国双语教学中十分缺乏的就是合适的双语教材。双语教材作为双语教学内容的载体与双语教学的主要中介, 是双语教学顺利实施及质量的保证, 在双语教学实施的过程中具有举足轻重的地位。我国的双语教材一般分为国外引进教材、国内出版教材、学校自编教材和翻译教材几种。引进原版英语教材有很多有点, 比如说形式上比较好、语言纯正、贴近生活、可读性和实用性强、印刷美观符合学生审美心理等, 但内容不能与国内现行课程标准相配套, 语言难度也不能与我国学生的实际英语水平相吻合, 甚至某些内容脱离我国的社会环境和生活环境。国内出版教材普遍存在着策划和出版周期较短、质量良莠不齐的问题。翻译教材存在的问题是有的教材经过翻译以后, 失去了原有的逻辑连贯性, 对知识的表述累赘拖沓, 对问题的分析词不达意, 容易对学生产生误导。
2.3 教学方式的选择问题
我国双语教学刚刚起步, 受师资、教材和学生现有水平的限制, 双语教学在各地开展的程度并不相同, 也存在着不同的教学模式。然而大部分教师为了完成教学任务只使用较为单一的教学方法, 根本无法调动学生的学习积极性。
3 解决思路
以上我们所谈的就是我国在双语教学的进程中所存在的一些代表性的问题。根据我国目前双语教学的实际情况, 笔者就如何解决这些问题进行了初步的思考, 提出几点建议。
3.1 加强双语师资队伍的建设
教师的语言水平和教学质量直接关系到双语教学的成败。我国的双语教师一直处在一个匮乏的状态, 双语师资队伍的建设必须加强。要加强双语师资队伍建设, 有一系列途径。第一, 通过高等学校培养。一方面, 开设培养双语师资的专业, 另一方面, 鼓励和选拔一批即将毕业的、有志于双语教学的大学生和研究生, 培养他们成为优秀的双语教师。第二, 聘请外籍教师担任双语教师。第三, 聘请外国留学生和外籍专家的眷属担任兼职双语教师。第四, 培训转岗教师。一方面把英语基础扎实、发音准确的学科教师培养成双语教师, 另一方面把愿意从事双语教学的英语教师培养成双语教师。
3.2 加大教材建设力度
双语教材作为双语教学内容的载体与双语教学的主要中介, 是双语教学顺利实施及质量的保证, 在双语教学实施的过程中具有举足轻重的地位。在教材的选择方面, 无论是引进教材还是自编教材, 或是翻译教材, 都应该考虑课程设置要达到的目标、教学原则和教学方法以及学生的实际外语水平。从总体上说, 高质量的双语教材应具备以下特点:内容先进, 并且符合课程标准的基本要求;具备科学性、实用性、趣味性和知识性;文字规范, 简明易懂, 难度适中, 便于师生教学;价格适度, 学生能够接受。随着我国双语教学的不断深入, 制定出一套与我国课程体系标准一致的、系统的双语教材已成为一项迫在眉睫的任务。
3.3 改进教学方法
教学方法和教学模式的选择对学生来说是非常重要的。教师在开展教学实践的过程当中, 应该根据学生的实际情况选择适当的教学方式, 运用适当的教学策略, 而不仅仅是采取单一的教学模式。具体采取何种教学方式需要教师在不断的教学实践中去探索, 总结出最适合自己学生情况的最为有效地教学方式来进行教学。
4 结语
综上所述, 我国的双语教学正处于起步和实验阶段, 我们有理由相信它的发展前景将是非常光明灿烂的。双语教学在我国的开展是一项具有复杂性和挑战性的工作, 也是一项具有前瞻性的探索工作。如何结合我国国情和教学实际来构建具有中国特色的双语教学模式, 还值得我们进一步研究和探索。
摘要：本文分析了我国双语教学的发展现状及存在的问题。并对这些问题进行了总结和反思, 有针对性地提出了解决问题的一些思路。
