励志英语诗歌朗诵
一、THE VALUE OF TIME
------ Katharine Sun
To realize the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
To realize the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one hour:
Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of one minute:
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.
To realize the value of one second:
Ask a person who has survived an accident.
To realaize the value of one millisecond:
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
时间的价值
凯瑟琳·桑 陈采霞译
要想知道一年的价值，
那就去问期末考试不及格的学生。
要想知道一个月的价值，
那就去问生了早产儿的母亲。
要想知道一周的价值，
那就去问周报的编辑。
要想知道一小时的价值，
那就去问等待见面的恋人。
要想知道一分钟的价值，
那就去问误了火车、汽车或者飞机的人。
要想知道一秒钟的价值，
那就去问大难不死的人。
要想知道一毫秒的价值，
那就去问奥运会获得银牌的人。
时间不等人，
你拥有的每一刻都要珍惜。
二、FAITH
Napolean Hill
Faith is the “eternal elixir”
Which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!
Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!
Faith is the basis of all “miracles”,
And all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!
Faith is the only known antidote for failure!
Faith is the element, the “chemical” which,
When mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.
Faith is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equivalent.
Faith is the only agency through which
the cosmic force of Infinite
Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.
信念
拿破仑·希尔 陈采霞译
信念是“永恒的万应灵药”，
它赋予突发奇想以生命、力量和行动!
信念是所有财富积累的起点!
信念是一切“奇迹”
以及所有科学法则无法分析的奥秘的根基!
信念是惟一已知失败之解药!
信念是重要元素、“化学物质”，
一旦与祈祷结合便会使你与上帝直接沟通。
人类的智慧固然有限，
普通的灵感闪现一经信念指点，
便会转换成精神震撼。
信念是惟一的中介，通过它
上帝的宇宙力会成为人类开发和利用的资源。
三、ON CHANGES
-------Irene Dunlap
Change is the only absolute
in the world,
the only thing
that you can depend on.
Nothing stays the same.
Tomorrow will come,
bringing with it
new beginnings and sometimes
unexpected endings.
You can hold on to the past
and get left in the dust;
or, you can choose to
jump on the ride of life
and live a new adventure
with perseverance
and an open mind.
论变化
艾琳·邓莱普 陈采霞译
变化是世界上
惟一绝对的东西，
是惟一
你能相信的事情。
没有什么能一成不变，
明天将来临，
它会带来
新的开始，并且有时
还会带来意想不到的结局。
你可以抓住过去，
蒙受遗弃;
或者，你可以选择
跃上生命之车
进行一次新的冒险，
凭借坚持不懈
和广阔的胸怀。
四、FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE
Neil Simon
Don't listen to those who say,
“It's not done that way.”
Maybe it's not, but maybe you will.
Don't listen to those who say,
“You're taking too big a chance.”
Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor,
and it would surely be rubbed out by today.
Most importantly, don't listen
When the little voice of fear inside of you
rear its ugly head and says,
“They're all smarter than you out there.
They're more talented,
They're taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections...”
I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you,
Not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others,
But with the strength of conviction
That you can move others by your own efforts,
And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live,
The chances are you'll be a person worthy of your own respect.
走自己的路
尼尔·西蒙 陈采霞译
别听那些人的话，
“这事不能那么做。”
也许是不能那么做，可是也许你就会那么做。
别听那些人的话，
“你这个险冒得太大了。”
米开朗琪罗可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作过画，
到今天肯定已经被抹掉了。
最重要的是，
当你心中恐惧的声音，
抬起它丑陋的头说，
“那边那些人都比你聪明，
他们更有才华，
他们更高大、皮肤更白、更漂亮、更幸运，
并且认识各种各样的人…”
你可千万别理会。
我坚信只要选择一条你感兴趣的路，
不排除爱情、敏锐以及与别人的合作，
而是坚定地认为，
通过你自身的努力能够感动他人，
不把成功或者失败作为你生活的标准，
那么你就可能成为值得自己敬佩的人。
