励志英语简短故事大全集
❶ 集经典英语小故事,励志方面,带翻译!!
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
无论是60岁还是16岁,你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底,有一座无线电台,它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息,你就会年轻多长时间。
An indivial human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Graally the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their indivial being.
人的生命应当像河流,开始是涓涓细流,受两岸的限制而十分狭窄,尔后奔腾咆哮,翻过危岩,飞越瀑布,河面渐渐开阔,河岸也随之向两边隐去,最后水流平缓,森森无际,汇入大海之中,个人就这样毫无痛苦地消失了。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致,更主要的是不思进取的结果。
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to st.
光阴可以在颜面上留下印记,而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹。烦恼、恐惧、缺乏自信会扭曲人的灵魂,并将青春化为灰烬

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island.He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him,and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.The worst had happened; everything was lost.He was stunned with grief and anger. “God how could you do this to me!” he cried.
Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island.It had come to rescue him.“How did you know I was here?” asked the weary man of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.
Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.For all the negative things we have say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for to it.
在一场船难中,唯一的生存者随着潮水,漂流到一座无人岛上。他天天激动地祈祷神救他能够早日离开此处,回到家乡。他还每天注视着海上有否可搭救他的人,但却是除了汪洋一片,什么也没有。后来,他决定用那片带他到小岛的木头造一个简陋的小木屋,以保护他在这险恶的环境中生存,并且保存他所有剩下的东西。但有一天,在他捕完食物后,准备回小屋时,突然发现他的小屋竟然陷在熊熊烈火之中,大火引起的浓烟不断向天上窜。悲痛的他,气愤的对天呐喊着:神啊!你怎么可以这样对待我!顿时,眼泪从他的眼角中流出。最悲惨的是:他所有的一切东西,在这一瞬间通通化为乌有了。
第二天一早,他被一艘正靠近小岛的船只的鸣笛声所吵醒。是的,有人来救他了。到了船上时,他问那些船员说:「你怎么知道我在这里?」「因为我们看到了信号般的浓烟。」他们回答说。

记住:当下一次你的小木屋着火时,那可能只是上帝美妙恩典的表征而已。在所有我们所认为负面的事情,上帝都是有正面答案的。
