每天读一点英文:那些给我勇气的句子01A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.一个男人和他的女朋友结婚,举行了一场盛大的结婚庆典。All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.所有的朋友和家人都来到结婚典礼上参加欢宴和庆祝活动。大家都过得很开心。The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.穿着白色婚纱的新娘漂亮迷人,穿着黑色礼服的新郎英俊潇洒。每个人都能看出他们彼此的爱是真诚的。A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage, she offered. Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.几个月后,妻子走近丈夫提议说:“我刚才在杂志上看到一篇文章,说的是怎样巩固婚姻。”她说:“我们两个人都各自把对方的小毛病列在一张纸上,然后我们商量一下怎样解决,以便使我们的生活更幸福。”The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.丈夫同意了。于是他们各自走向不同的房间去想对方的缺点。那一天余下的时间里,他们都在思考这个问题,并且把他们想到的都写下来。The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.第二天早上,吃早饭的时候,他们决定谈谈彼此的缺点。Ill start, offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes.“我先开始吧。”妻子说。她拿出她的单子,上面列举了很多条,事实上,足足写满了三页。当她开始念的时候,她注意到丈夫眼里含着泪花。Whats wrong? she asked. Nothing, the husband replied, keep reading your list.“怎么啦?”她问。“没什么,”丈夫答道,“继续念吧。”The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it. 妻子又接着念。整整三页都念完之后她把单子整齐地放在桌上,两手交叉放在上面。Now, you read your list and then well talk about the things on both of our lists, she said happily.“现在该你念了,然后我们谈谈所列举的缺点。”她高兴地说。Quietly the husband stated, I dont have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I dont want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldnt want to try and change anything about you. 丈夫平静地说:“我什么也没写,我觉得像你这样就很完美了,我不想让你为我改变什么。你很可爱迷人,我不想让你改变。”The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.妻子被丈夫的诚实和对她深深的爱和接纳感动了,她转过头去哭起来。In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We dont really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?生命中我们有很多的失望、沮丧和烦恼,我们根本不需要寻找。我们美妙的世界充满了美丽、光明、希望。但是,当我们放眼四周时,为什么浪费时间寻找不快、失望和烦恼,而看不到我们面前的美好事物呢? 02Dont work for moneyThe world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough. 世界上满坑满谷都是精明能干、才华横溢、学富五车以及极具天赋之人,我们每天都会见到他们。几天前,我的汽车运转不灵了。我把它开进维修厂,一位年轻的机械工只消几分钟就把它修好了。他仅凭倾听发动机的声音就能确定哪儿有毛病,这让我惊奇不已。然而遗憾的是,光有非凡才华是不够的。 I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in1 the medical trade was telling me how many doctors, dentists and chiropractors2 struggle financially. All this time, I thought that when they graduated, the dollars would pour in. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.” What this phrase means is that most people need only to learn and master one more skill and their income would jump exponentially3. I have mentioned before that financial intelligence is a synergy4 of accounting, investing, marketing and law. Combine those four technical skills and making money with money is easier. When it comes to money, the only skill most people know is to work hard. 我常常吃惊,为什么有才华的人却只有微薄的收入。前几天我听人说,只有不到5的美国人年收入在10万美元以上。一位精通药品贸易的商务顾问曾经告诉我,有许多医生、牙医和按摩师生活拮据。以前我总以为他们一毕业,财源便会滚滚而来。这位商务顾问告诉了我一句话:“离发大财,他们还差一项技能。”这句话的意思是说,大部分人还需多学习并掌握一项技能,他们的收入才能呈指数倍增长。以前我提到过,财商是会计、投资、市场营销和法律方面的能力综合。将上述四种专业技能结合起来,以钱生钱就会更容易。说到钱,大部分人所知的唯一技能就是拼命工作。 When I graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1969, my educated dad was happy. Standard Oil of California had hired me for its oil-tanker fleet. I had a great career ahead of me, yet I resigned5 after six months with the company and joined the Marine Corps to learn how to fly. My educated dad was devastated. Rich dad congra
