Title: The Beauty of Nature
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to forget the beauty of nature that surrounds us. We get so caught up in our work, our responsibilities, and our worries that we often overlook the simple pleasures that nature has to offer.
Take a moment to step outside and breathe in the fresh air. Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and listen to the gentle rustling of the leaves in the wind. Look up at the sky and marvel at the vast expanse of blue, interrupted only by fluffy white clouds drifting lazily by.
Nature has a way of grounding us, of reminding us of the bigger picture. It's easy to get lost in the minutiae of our lives, but when we take the time to appreciate the natural world around us, we are reminded of the beauty and wonder that exists beyond our own small concerns.
So next time you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed, take a moment to go outside and reconnect with nature. You'll be amazed at how calming and rejuvenating it can be to simply stop and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us every day.

Beauty of Nature
在我们日常生活的喧嚣中,很容易忘记我们周围大自然的美丽。我们常常为工作、责任和忧虑所困扰,往往忽略了大自然所带来的简单快乐。
请花点时间走出去,深呼吸新鲜空气。感受阳光在皮肤上的温暖,听风中树叶轻轻摩擦的声音。抬头仰望天空,惊叹于辽阔的蓝天,只有慵懒飘过的白云偶尔打破了宁静。
大自然有一种让我们脚踏实地的力量,提醒我们放眼更广阔的视野。我们很容易陷入生活琐事中,但当我们花时间欣赏周围的自然世界时,我们会想起存在于我们小小困扰之外的美丽和奇迹。
所以下次你感到不知所措或紧张时,花时间走到户外,与大自然重新连接。你会惊讶地发现,停下来欣赏每天围绕我们的美丽是多么令人平静和恢复活力。

Title: The Power of Kindness
In a world that can often feel harsh and unforgiving, it's important to remember the power of kindness. Small acts of kindness can have a ripple effect, spreading positivity and warmth to those around us.
Whether it's a smile to a stranger on the street, a kind word to a coworker, or a helping hand to a friend in need, these gestures can make a world of difference. Kindness has the ability to brighten someone's day, to lift their spirits, and to remind them that they are not alone in this world.
But kindness isn't just about how we treat others – it's also about how we treat ourselves. It's important to be kind to ourselves, to practice self-care and self-compassion. We often hold ourselves to impossibly high standards, but it's important to remember that we are only human, and it's okay to make mistakes and to be imperfect.
So let's make a conscious effort to be kinder – to others and to ourselves. Let's create a world where kindness is the norm, where compassion and empathy are valued above all else. Because in the end, it's kindness that has the power to change the world.

The Power of Kindness
在一个常常让人感到严酷和无情的世界里,记住善良的力量是很重要的。小小的善举可以产生连锁反应,向周围的人传播积极性和温暖。
无论是向街上的陌生人微笑,对同事说一句友好的话,还是伸出援手帮助需要的朋友,这些举动都可以产生巨大的影响。善良有能力让某人的一天变得明亮起来,提升他们的精神,并提醒他们在这个世界上并不孤单。
但善良不仅仅是关于我们如何对待他人 - 它也关乎我们如何对待自己。对自己善良是重要的,要进行自我呵护和自我体谅。我们经常对自己设定不可能达到的标准,但要记住我们只是人类,犯错误和不完美是可以的。
所以让我们刻意努力变得更善良 - 对他人和对自己。让我们创造一个善良成为常态的世界,一个慈悲和同理心被视为最重要的世界。因为最终,善良才有力量改变世界。
美文分享中英互译 篇三
Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house.
In a hurry to pe into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore. His mother - in the house was looking out the window - saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could.
Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.
From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal and, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother‘s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter,"But look at my arms.I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn‘t let go."
You and I can identify with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, or anything quite so dramatic. But, the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.
But, some wounds, my friend, are because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, He‘s been there holding on to you.
The Scripture teaches that God loves you.
If you have Christ in your life, you have become a child of God.
He wants to protect you and provide for you in everyway.
But sometimes we foolishly wade into dangerous situations. The swimming hole of life is filled with peril - and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack. That‘s when the tug-of-war begins - and if you have the scars of His love on your arms be very, very grateful.
几年前的一个炎炎夏日,在美国佛罗里达州南部,有个小男孩为贪图凉快,决定去自家房子后面一个形成已久的深水潭中游泳。
因为迫不及待地想投入到清凉的水中,他飞快地从后门跑了出去,边跑边脱掉鞋子,袜子和衬衣,把它们随手抛在了身后。他一头扎进了水里,丝毫没有意识到自己游往潭中心的同时,一只美洲鳄也正在朝岸边游来。
小男孩的母亲当时在屋子里透过窗子向外看着,发现那只美洲鳄正向她的孩子步步逼近。她极度惊恐起来,一边迅速奔向水潭,一边声嘶力竭地朝自己的孩子呼喊着。
听到她的呼喊,小男孩才猛然意识到了危险,立即掉头向岸边的母亲游去。可这时已经无济于事。他的手勉强刚够到他的母亲,鳄鱼也已经接触到了他。
母亲在岸上拼命地拽紧儿子的手臂,而此时美洲鳄也死死地咬住孩子的腿不放。为了争夺小男孩,母亲和鳄鱼之间俨然展开了一场让人难以置信的拔河较量。美洲鳄的力气显然要比母亲强大得多,但是母亲挽救儿子的坚定信念让她无论如何也绝不放手。就在这万分危急的关头,一位农夫恰巧驾车经过,一听到孩子母亲的尖叫便飞速从卡车上跳下,瞄准鳄鱼并开枪将其射杀。
值得庆幸的是,经过在医院数周的抢救治疗,小男孩居然存活了下来。鳄鱼凶残的袭击在他的腿上刻下了触目惊心的伤痕。不仅如此,他的双臂上也留下了深深的抓痕,那是在生死关头母亲为了牢牢抓住挚爱的儿子,以至于手指甲都掐入了儿子的肉中所留下的。
事后,这位死里逃生的小男孩接受了一位报社记者的采访。当记者问他是否愿意让大家看看他身上的伤疤时,小男孩挽起了自己的裤腿,腿上深深的疤痕暴露无遗。紧接着,他满脸自豪地告诉记者,“大家还是看看我的手臂吧,我的手臂上也有好多伤疤呢。这是妈妈不放开我,在救我的时候留下的。”
看了这个小男孩的故事后,人们都能感同身受。其实我们每个人身上都有伤疤。只不过并不是被鳄鱼咬的,或任何如此戏剧性事件所造成,而是过往的痛苦经历所留下的。那些伤疤是如此难看,让人深感懊悔。但是,我的朋友,你可曾想过有些伤口是一些不想放弃你的人造成的。在你挣扎的过程中,那些爱你的人为了拉住你,才在你身上留下了这些伤疤。
在人生之路上,有时我们会愚蠢地步入危险的境地,全然不知前方是什么情况。生活的水潭危机四伏--而我们总忘了潜在的敌人在伺机而动。当较量开始的时候--如果你的手臂上有爱的'伤疤,你应该心怀感激,因为在你的生命中有人不曾也永远不会放弃你。
美文分享中英互译 篇四
Occasionally, life can be undeniably, impossibly difficult. We are faced with challenges and events that can seem overwhelming, life-destroying to the point where it may be hard to decide whether to keep going. But you always have a choice. Jessica Heslop shares her powerful, inspiring journey from the worst times in her life to the new life she has created for herself:
生活有时候困难得难以置信,但又不容置疑。我们面临的挑战与困境似乎无法抵御,试图毁灭我们生活,甚至使你犹疑是否继续走下去。但是你总有选择的余地。从人生低谷走向新生活的杰西卡·赫斯乐普,在这里与我们分享她启迪心灵、充满震撼力的生活之旅。
In 2012 I had the worst year of my life.
2012年是我生活中最艰难的一年。
I worked in a finance job that I hated and I lived in a concrete jungle city with little greenery. I occupied my time with meaningless relationships and spent copious quantities of money on superficialities. I was searching for happiness and had no idea where to find it.
我做着讨厌的财务工作,住在难寻绿色的高楼林立的城市。我忙于无意义的交往,在一些肤浅表面的东西上大笔开销。我寻找快乐,却又不知道它在哪里。
Then I fell ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and became virtually bed bound. I had to quit my job and subsequently was left with no income. I lived with my boyfriend of then only 3 months who financially supported me and our relationship was put under great pressure. I eventually regained my physical health, but not long after that I got a call from my family at home to say that my father’s cancer had fiercely progressed and that he had been admitted to a hospice.
然后我患上了慢性疲劳综合症,几乎到了卧床不起的地步。我不得不辞掉工作,同时也就断了财源。我和那时仅相处了3个月的男友住在一起,经济上完全依赖于他,我们的关系承受着巨大压力。终于我恢复健康,但不久,我接到家里的电话,父亲的癌症急剧恶化,已经住进了临终关怀中心。
I left the city and I went home to be with him.
我离开了城市,回家陪父亲。
He died 6 months later.
6个月之后,他去世了。
My father was a complete inspiration to me. He was always so strong that, for a minute after he drew his last breath, I honestly thought he would come back to life. I couldn’t believe I would never again cuddle into his big warm chest and feel safe no matter what.
父亲的事让我彻底清醒。他一直很强壮,在他咽气之后一分钟里,我真的认为,他会活过来。我不能相信,我再也不能依偎在他温暖的怀抱里,享受他宽大的胸怀带给我的安全感。
The grief that followed was intense for all of us 5 children and our mother, but we had each other.
母亲和我们5个兄弟姐妹极为难过,但至少我们还拥有彼此。
But my oldest sister at that time complained of a bad back. It got so bad after 2 months that she too was admitted to hospital.
但是,那时我大姐开始抱怨着背痛,2个月后,因疼痛加剧也住进了医院。
They discovered that she had highly advanced cancer in her bones and that there was nothing that they could do.
医生们检查发现,她已是骨癌晚期,对此他们已无能为力。
She died 1 month later.
1个月之后,她也走了。
I could never put into words the loss of my sister in my life.
大姐的逝去让我陷入难以形容的痛苦之中。
She was a walking, talking angel and my favourite person in the whole world. If someone could have asked me the worst thing that could ever happen, it would have been losing her.
在这个世界上,她是一个能走路、会说话的天使,我最喜欢的人。如果有人问我,世界上发生的最坏的事情是什么,那就是失去她。
She was my soul-mate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime without her.
她是我的灵魂伴侣,我从来没有想过,我会走过没有她陪伴的生命旅程。
The Moment Of Deliberate Choice
抉择时刻
The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees. The pain was so great and my world just looked desolate. I had no real home, no money, no job, and no friends that cared. Not one person had even sent me a sympathy card for my loss.
我被打击和极度的心痛击挎了。强烈的痛苦使世界在我眼中变得如此凄凉。我没有真正意义上的家,没有钱,没有工作,也没有关心我的朋友。没有一个人因我失去亲人而寄给我慰问卡。
I made an attempt of my own life and I ended up in hospital.
我尝试着活下去,结果住进了医院。
I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. She stayed with me all night long.
我记得,躺在病床上,看着天花板,看到姐姐美丽的面庞。她整夜守候着我。
I realised during that night that I had a choice. I could choose to end my life or I could choose to live it.
那天晚上,我意识到我可以选择。要么结束生命,要么活下去。
I looked in my sister’s eyes and I made a decision not to go with her just yet. That I would stay and complete my journey here.
望着姐姐的眼睛,我决定不跟她走。我要留下来,走完我的生命旅程。
I also made the decision that, I wouldn’t just live any life. I would live the life that I absolutely LOVE and nothing less.
同时,我还决定,不只为生活而生活,我要完全以自己想要的方式生活。
In that moment, the clarity that descended around me was like a light shining in a dark room for the first time. As if the earth’s plates had shifted under my feet and everything suddenly looked real for the first time.
在那一刻,这一想法第一次清晰得如同一盏在黑暗闪烁的明灯。好像脚下的地球版块变换了,每一样东西在我眼前都真实得前所未有。

We all know what that twinge of anxiety feels like. We know how fear feels in our bodies: the tension in our necks, the tightness in our stomachs, etc. We can practice leaning into these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.
我们都经历过焦灼的煎熬感,也都感受过恐惧造成的生理反应:脖子僵硬、胃酸翻腾。其实,我们有能力面对这些痛苦的感受,从中领悟到出路。
The initial impulse is to run away — to try and suppress these feelings by not acknowledging them. When we do this, we close ourselves off to the parts of our lives that we need to experience most. The next time you have this feeling of being truly uncomfortable, do yourself a favor and lean into the feeling. Act in spite of the fear.
我们的第一反应总是逃避——以为否认不安情绪的存在就能万事大吉,可这也恰好妨碍了我们经历最需要的生活体验。下次感到不安时,不管有多害怕,也请试着勇敢面对吧。
美文分享中英互译 篇六
We’re often confused at the next step to take, making pros and cons lists until our eyes bleed and our brains are sore. Instead of always taking this approach, what if we engaged a new part of ourselves that isn’t usually involved in the decision making process?
我们常对未来犹疑不定,反复考虑利弊直到身心俱疲。与其一味顾虑重重,不如从局外人的角度看待决策之事。
I know we’ve all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our “gut” impulses: when asked, we can’t explain the reasons behind doing so — just a deep knowing that it had to get done. This instinct is the part of ourselves we’re approaching for answers.
其实很多决定或行动都是我们一念之间的结果:要是追问原因的话,恐怕我们自己也道不清说不明,只是感到直觉如此罢了。而这种直觉恰好是我们探索结果的潜在自我。
To start this process, take few deep breaths then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?”
开始前先做几次深呼吸,问自己:“内心认为该做什么样的决定呢?觉得采取哪个方案最恰当?”
See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.
看看自己的内心反应如何,然后全力以赴、静待结果吧。
