十个励志英文故事梗概
⑴ 求英语励志故事
正所谓“无心插柳柳成荫”，目标北大，只考上杭州师院；三年高考，一年数学成绩分，一年成绩19分。大学毕业后，马云当了6年半的英语老师。期间，他成立了杭州首家外文翻译社，用业余时间接了一些外贸单位的翻译活。马云说，“我当年学英语，我没有想
到后来英文帮了我的大忙。所以，做任何事情只要你喜欢，只要你认为对的，就可以去做。如果你思考问题功利性很强的话，肯定会遇到麻烦的。”
后来这位“杭州最棒的英语老师”因为英语好的原因，受浙江省交通厅委托到美国催讨一笔债务，结果是债没讨成，却促成了他与互联网的十年姻缘。
互联网本来就是“舶来品”，马云流利的英语赋予他一张“国际通行证”，使得他有机会征服《福布斯》记者，早早登上了《福布斯》的封面；使得他可以结交杨致远、孙正义甚至比尔克林顿这样的人物；使得他可以穿梭在达沃斯论坛，让大家记住阿里巴巴。
这些都促成了马云的国际化视野，使他能弄来资金，做自己想做的事情。
马云说，自己一直学习不好，但仍有得意之处，那就是英语。
在中学时期马云常常清晨跑到西湖边找老外“聊天”；大学几年他几乎每天都一个人跑到宾馆门口跟老外“对话”。马云说，自己学的虽是“山寨”英文，却为以后创业创造了机会。英语好，他才能念杭州师范大学外语系，才能做英语老师，才有机会到美国接触互联网，也才有了后来的阿里巴巴。
创办阿里巴巴之后，在国内土生土长的马云可以很轻松地向海外用户作精彩演讲，“水平丝毫不差于国内演讲”。进入大学校园的马云还将往日打架的劲头转到学生工作上，不仅顺利当选为学校学生会主席，还再接再厉登上了杭州市学联主席的位置，对于一个二流高校学生来说，这几乎是个奇迹。毕业之后，马云成了唯一到高校任教的本科毕业生。
如果亚运会、世乒赛和奥运会的冠军是我乒乓球生涯的三大满贯，那么清华获得学士学位、诺丁汉大学硕士毕业和取得剑桥博士，就是我要完成的另一项大满贯。
——邓亚萍
1997年退役进入清华大学，2001年拿下学士学位，同年9月进入英国诺丁汉大学，2002年12月12日，获硕士学位，同年进入英国剑桥大学经济学专业攻读博士学位。邓亚萍用求学路上一路奋斗的故事讲述了一个世界冠军求学的悬梁岁月……
清华：从写26个英文字母开始
“临近退役时，我便开始设计自己将来的路，有人认为运动员只能在自己熟悉的运动项目中继续工作，而我就是要证明：运动员不仅能够打好比赛，同时也能做好其他事情。哪天我不当运动员了，我的新起点也就开始了。”邓亚萍说。
“1996年底，我被萨老提名为国际奥委会运动委员会委员。我明白，这既是国际奥委会的重用和信任，也是一次严峻的挑战。奥委会的办公语言是英语(论坛)和法语。然而，这时我的英语基础几乎是零，法语也是一窍不通。面对如此重要的工作岗位和自己外语水平的反差，我心里急得火上房。”
1996年亚特兰大奥运会结束后，邓亚萍以英语专业本科生的身份初进清华时，她的英文几乎是一张白纸，既没有英文的底子，更别说有口语交流的能力。
“怀着兴奋而又忐忑的心情迈进清华大学。老师想看看我的水平——你写出26个英文字母看看。我费了一阵心思总算写了出来，看着一会儿大写、一会儿小写的字母，我有些不好意思——老师，就这个样子了。但请老师放心，我一定努力！”
“上课时老师的讲述对我而言无异于天书，我只能尽力一字不漏地听着、记着，回到宿舍，再一点点翻字典，一点点硬啃硬记。我给自己制定了学习计划：一切从零开始，坚持三个第一—从课本第一页学起，从第一个字母、第一个单词背起；一天必须保证14个小时的学习时间，每天5点准时起床，读音标、背单词、练听力，直到正式上课；晚上整理讲义，温习功课，直到深夜12点。”由于全身心地投入学习，邓亚萍几乎完全取消了与朋友的聚会及无关紧要的社会活动，就连给父母打电话的次数也大大减少。为了提高自己的听力和会话能力，她除了定期光顾语音室，还买来多功能复读机。由于总是一边听磁带，一边跟着读。同学们总是跟她开玩笑：“亚萍，你成天读个不停，当心嘴唇磨出茧子呀！”“但我相信：没有超人的付出，就不会有超人的成绩。这也是我多年闯荡赛场的切身体验。”
学习是紧张的，每天的课程都排得满满的。除学习之外，邓亚萍每周还要三次往返几十里路到国家队训练基地进行训练，疲劳程度可想而知。
“每天清晨起床时，我都会发现枕头上有许多头发，梳头的时候也会有不少头发脱落下来。对此我并不太在意，倒是教练和队友见到我十分惊讶：‘小邓，你怎么了？’我说：‘没什么，可能是学习的用脑和打球的用脑不一样吧。’”
“虽然都是一个‘苦’字，但此时的我却有不一样的感受：以前当运动员，训练累得实在动不了，只要一听到加油声，一咬牙，挺过来了；遇到了难题、关坎，教练一点拨，通了；比赛遇到困难，观众一阵吼声，劲头上来了，转危为安。但读书呢，常常要一个人孤零零面壁苦思，那种清苦、孤独是另一种折磨，没意志、没恒心是坚持不下去的。”
为了更快地掌握英语，几位英语老师建议邓亚萍到国外去学习一段时间，在他们的热心帮助下，经清华大学和国家体育总局批准，1998年初，刚在清华读了几个月的邓亚萍作为交换生被送到英国剑桥大学突击英语。
剑桥：每天凌晨5点起床攻读
1998年2月26日邓亚萍怀着复杂的心情，飞向剑桥。对她来说，这自然是非常难得的机会，但却又是一个艰难的起步。
“第二天就是开学上课的日子，全班一共9个同学，教室不大，9张课桌椅向着黑板，摆成半圆形。老师先让大家做自我介绍。接下来给每人发了两张讲义就开始讲课，课堂上没什么纪律，讲解方式也很随意，老师一边讲课，同学们一边七嘴八舌地抢着回答问题。我在云山雾罩中上完了课。四五个星期过去了，每天十五、六个小时的付出，但收效并不大，英语水平的提高也不显著。作为一个插班生要赶上其他同学困难太大。加上没有教材，每次上课才能拿到老师发的讲义，这种教学方法也很难让我适应。”
“生活的环境也不尽如人意。到英国留学的留学生，多数都是住在学校所安排的英国人家里，我也不例外。本想住在英国人家里，一来可以更多地了解英国的风俗民情，二来可以有更多的英语会话机会。但是我所居住的这个女房东家，距学校太远，而且房费伙食费很高，每月除了要交200多英镑房租，还要交 100多英镑饭费，两项合起来每月的支出约合人民币将近5000元。对于自费到英国上学的我来说，惜金和惜时同样重要。”
“记得当我头一次穿着防雨运动衣，骑着自行车到学校时，许多同学见了都大为不解：怎么世界冠军还骑自行车来上学？是啊，世界冠军也是凡人，我的所有，是我用汗水换来的，它来之不易，我必须十分珍惜它。学习和生活上的困难困扰着我，我急切盼望能改变这种状况。”
“刚到英国不久，我想往家寄点钱，然而到邮局拿了单子，却不知如何填写，邮局的人在单子上指指点点，我却一脸茫然，我站在邮局前，两眼发呆，我能怎么办？问谁去？问了，自己还是听不懂，最后，只好悻悻而归。”
“开学前，为了让我熟悉一下环境，房东开车送我去学校转了一圈。第二天人家不送了，我虽然买了辆自行车，却找不到上学的路了，七拐八拐，赶到学校已经上课了。一向守时的我成了迟到生。我急得迸出几个单词解释，然而解释不明白，那滋味，那窘迫，现在都忘不了！”
邓亚萍就读的纽汉姆学院是隶属剑桥大学的一所小学院，类似于国内的语言进修学院。这里的学生主要以外国留学生为主，而邓亚萍是唯一来自中国内地的留学生。
“刚到剑桥的那段时间，我虽然比较刻苦，效果却不明显。我知道，这是因为自己的语言基础还相当薄弱，要想在剑桥这个精英云集的学府里站得住、学得好，更需要全力以赴地去拼搏。做学问与体育训练一样，没有任何捷径可寻，更不会有天上掉馅饼的美事儿，一切靠自己去拼去搏吧。”为了赶功课，邓亚萍起早贪黑，每天只睡几小时。
“开始的一两个月之内，根本听不懂老师在上面讲什么，我把老师所有写在黑板上的东西照抄一遍。回到家里以后，自己再翻字典，再看。每天的生活比较单调，上课时间是四个半小时。下了课还有很多作业，吃饭对我来说好像都很费事，中午休息的时间只有一个小时，我一般都不回宿舍，就是吃上午带去的三明治，然后看一会儿书。晚上经常吃的东西就是自己做的方便面条加青菜、西红柿和鸡蛋。几乎每天都要学习到12点才能睡觉。”
虽然基础比其他同学差，她总是不甘心，想超过别人。这种好胜的心理后来才慢慢开始转变：“毕竟基础不同，从运动员到学生是一个非常大的转折，学习上升也要有个过程。”
回到清华，邓亚萍的毕业论文题目是《国球的历史及发展》。从开题报告、到第一次提交论文、以至论文的最终修订，邓亚萍不仅每一项都达到标准，而且步步提前，赶在时间表前完成。
“我终于戴上了学士帽，在毕业典礼上，我用流利的英语向老师致词。”

（3）孤岛上的故事，痛苦有时是上天的恩典
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。
人在碰到困难时，很容易会沮丧。不过无论受到折磨或者痛苦，都不用因此失去信心，因为上帝一直在我们心里面做着奇妙的工作。
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。

热爱生活
Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.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.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man\'s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town\'s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。 万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想
