Years ago, when I started looking for my first job,wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic!Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience."
許多年前, 當我第一次找工作時,不少明智之士強烈向我建議:“巴巴拉,要有熱情!熱情比任何經驗都更有益。”
enthusiastic a.熱情的
[?n?θju:zi??st?k]
How right they were. Enthusiastic people can tum a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
這話多么正確,熱情的人可以把沉悶的車程變成探險,把加班變成機會, 把生人變成朋友。
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers,¨I can do it!" When others shout, "No, you can’t."
“沒有熱情就不會有任何偉大的成就,”拉爾夫?沃爾多.愛默生寫道當事情進展不順時,熱情是幫助你堅持下去的粘合劑當別人叫喊“你不行”時, 熱情是你內心發出的聲音:“我能行”。
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys o’r the scurrying of a beetle. It is this child like wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.
我們都生來好奇,呼大眼睛,滿懷熱情一一每一個看到過嬰兒聽到鑰匙聲或看見亂爬的甲蟲就興奮不己的人都會明白這一點。
beetle n.甲殼蟲
[’bi:tl]
How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer,I believe, lies in the word itself. "Enthusiasm" comes from the Greek and means "God within." And what is God within is but an abiding sense of love - proper love of self (self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.
恁樣才能找回孩提時代的熱情呢?我相信答案就在“熱情”這個詞本身“熱情”一詞源于希臘語, 原意是“內在的上帝”這里所說的“內在的上帝”不是別的,而是一種持久不變的愛一一恰當的自愛(自我接受), 并推而及于他人。
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money o’r title o’r power. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture.
熱情的人們同樣熱愛他們所做的事,而不是考慮錢位權如果我們不能把熱愛的事作為正式職業,我們也可把它當作業余消遣:比如有國家元首喜歡畫畫的,有修女參加馬拉松長跑的,有行政官員手工制作家具的。
avocation n.業余愛好,嗜好
[??v??’ke??n]
executive n.總經理,執行令
[?ɡ’zekj?t?v]
We can’t afford to waste tears on "might-have-been." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be."
我們不應該把眼淚浪費在“早該”之類的后悔上我們需要把眼淚化為汗水,去追求“可能”之物。
We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses - finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow.
找們需要以全副身心去度過生命中的每一分鐘一一在后花園的芬芳中在6歲小孩的蠟筆畫中在彩虹醉人的美中找到快樂正是這種對生活的熱愛.
fragrance n.芳香,芬芳
[?fre?gr?ns]
It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes,a lilt in our steps and smooth the wrinkles from our souls.
讓我們雙目有神,讓我們步履矯健,讓我們靈魂的皺紋展平。
