　　感恩生活1

　　Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much.

　　美國總統(tǒng)羅斯福的家曾經(jīng)遭遇過失竊，財(cái)物損失嚴(yán)重。朋友聞此消息，就寫信來安慰他，勸他不必把這件事放在心上。

　　President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,”Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief…”

　　羅斯�？偨y(tǒng)很快便回信說：“親愛的朋友，謝謝你來信安慰我，我一切都很好。我想我應(yīng)該感謝上帝，因?yàn)椋旱谝唬�我損失的只是財(cái)物，而人卻毫發(fā)未損；第二，我只損失了部分財(cái)物，而非所有財(cái)產(chǎn)；第三，最幸運(yùn)的是，做小偷的是那個(gè)人，而不是我……”

　　It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from.. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.

　　對(duì)任何人來說，家中失竊絕非幸事。但是，羅斯福總統(tǒng)卻能找到三個(gè)感恩的理由。這個(gè)故事告訴我們，生活中，我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)感恩。

　　Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a GREat wisdom. . It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. smile and so will it when you cry to it. ” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight.

　　感恩是一項(xiàng)很重要的處世哲學(xué)，是生活的大智慧。人生在世，不可能事事順通。對(duì)于各種失敗和不幸，我們要豁達(dá)大度，勇敢地面對(duì)，并想辦法解決。

　　We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, rise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it , it will also

　　面對(duì)困難，我們要是懊惱抱怨、沮喪氣餒，陷入絕望，還是對(duì)生活滿懷感恩之心，跌倒后再爬起來呢？英國著名作家威廉·薩克雷說過，“生活是一面鏡子，你對(duì)它笑，它也會(huì)對(duì)你笑；你對(duì)他哭，它也會(huì)對(duì)你哭。”

　　If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful, we can surely have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.

　　如果對(duì)生活感恩，你的生命將會(huì)充滿燦爛的陽光；如果一味怨恨，終將一無所獲。我們成功時(shí)，有千萬個(gè)理由感恩生活，而失敗時(shí)，只要一個(gè)借口就會(huì)表現(xiàn)出忘恩負(fù)義。

　　I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.

　　我想，不論是遭遇失敗或是不幸，我們都應(yīng)該感謝生活。只有這樣，失敗后，我們才能發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的缺點(diǎn)和不足，不幸時(shí)，我們還能感受到安慰和溫暖。這些就能幫我們找回勇氣，戰(zhàn)勝困難，并獲取前進(jìn)的強(qiáng)大推動(dòng)力。我們應(yīng)像羅斯福總統(tǒng)那樣，換一個(gè)角度去看待生活中的失敗和挫折，永遠(yuǎn)對(duì)生活充滿感恩，才能時(shí)刻保持健康的心態(tài)，積極地生活，并能保持完美的人格和不斷進(jìn)取的精神。感恩不僅僅是一種精神慰藉，也不是對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的規(guī)避，更不是阿Q的精神勝利法。感恩源于我們對(duì)生活的熱愛和希望，它是我們歌頌生活的一種方式。

　　When we put a small piece of alum into muddy water, we can see the alum can soon make the water clear. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll be able to get rid of impulse, upset, dissatisfaction and misfortune. Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.

　　把一小塊明礬放入混沌的水中，我們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，水很快就澄清了。如果人人都有一顆感恩的心，就能沉淀許多的浮躁和不安，消融許多的不滿和不幸。感恩能讓我們的生活變得更加美好。

　　木匠的故事2

　　An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurel life with his wife and enjoy his extended family. He would miss the paycheck each week ,but he wanted to retire. They could get by.

　　有個(gè)老木匠準(zhǔn)備退休，他告訴老板，說要離開建造行業(yè)，回家與妻子兒女享受天倫之樂。雖然老板給他的工資很高，可是，他更想享受退休生活。生活總能維持下去。

　　The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes,but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

　　老板很不舍得他的好工人離開，問他是否能幫忙再建一座房子。老木匠答應(yīng)了。但是大家后來都看得出來，他的心已不在工作上，他使用的是次料，做工也很粗糙。這真是一種令人遺憾的結(jié)束自己全心全意所從事的事業(yè)的方式。

　　When the carpenter finished his work ,his employer came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said,"This is your house. . . my gift to you. "

　　房子建好的時(shí)候，老板前來視察，然后把大門的鑰匙遞給他，說道：“這是你的房子……是我送給你的禮物�！�

　　The carpenter was shocked!

　　老木匠驚呆了!

　　What a shame!If he had only known he was building his own house,he would have done it all so differently.

　　真是丟臉啊!如果他早知道是在給自己建房子，他一定不會(huì)這么應(yīng)付了事的。

　　So it is with us . We build our lives, a day at a time,often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock;we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over,we would do it much differently.

　　我們又何嘗不是這樣。我們漫不經(jīng)心地“建造”自己的生活，不是積極行動(dòng)，而是消極應(yīng)付，凡事不肯精益求精，在關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻不能盡最大努力。等我們驚覺自己的處境，早已深困在自己建造的“房子”里了。如果能夠重新來過，我們一定不會(huì)這么做。

　　But, you cannot go back. You are the carpenter,and everyday you hammer a nail,place a board ,or erect a wall,Someone once said,"Life is a do-it-yourself project. "Your attitude and the choices you made today,help build the "house"you will live in tomorrow. Therefore,build wisely!

　　但是，你永遠(yuǎn)也無法回到過去。你就是那個(gè)木匠，在建造“生活”這所房子，每天敲進(jìn)去一顆釘，加上去一塊板，或者砌起一面墻。有人曾經(jīng)說過：“生活就是一項(xiàng)DIY的工程”。你今天的態(tài)度與選擇決定了你明天會(huì)住在什么樣的“房子”里。因此，用你的智慧去建造你的"房子"吧!
