关于英文的优美短句
不管你的生活多么卑微,面对它,把生活进行下去,不逃避,不咒骂,生活还不如你坏哩,你最富有的时候,它反而最贫瘠。(梭罗)However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest.
我曾经七次鄙视自己的灵魂——1.它本可进取,却故作谦卑;2.它空虚时,用爱欲来填充;3.困难和容易之间,它选择容易;4.它犯错,却借由别人来宽慰自己;5.它自由软弱,却认为是生命的坚韧;6.它鄙夷一张丑恶的嘴脸,却不知那是自己面具中的一副;7.它在生活污泥中,虽不甘心,却又畏首畏尾。

不是一切火焰只燃烧自己而不把别人照亮;不是一切星星仅指示黑暗而不报告曙光;不是一切歌声只掠过耳旁而不留在心上Not every flame is to destroy but not enlighten;not every star is to signal darkness but not welcome daylight;not every song is to waft past ears but not imprint on heart.

每个人的心里,有多么长的一个清单,这些清单里写着多少美好的事,可是,它们总是被推迟,被搁置,在时间的阁楼上腐烂。为什么勇气的问题总是被误以为是时间的问题,而那些沉重、抑郁的、不得已的,总是被叫做生活本身。(刘瑜)
In every heart hides a long list with so many beautiful things to fulfill, which are then postponed, suspended, rotten in the attic of time. What is actually a matter of courage is labelled as a matter of time but the ponderous,the depressing,the unfulfillable as life itself.
