初中生英語(yǔ)美文摘抄篇一
Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone asked him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"
杰里真是個(gè)讓人喜歡得不行的家伙。他總是心情愉快、情緒高漲，總能說出積極的話來。每當(dāng)別人問他一切可好時(shí)，他就回答：“好得不能再好了!”
He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
他是個(gè)與眾不同的經(jīng)理，有好幾個(gè)服務(wù)員都跟著他在不同的餐廳做過。他們跟著杰里是因?yàn)樗纳顟B(tài)度。他天生善于激勵(lì)人，如果哪個(gè)雇員不走運(yùn)了，杰里就會(huì)告訴他要往好的一面看。
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
我對(duì)他的生活態(tài)度深感好奇，于是有一天我走到杰里跟前問他：“我不明白!你不可能事事都順心，你是怎樣做到一直都這么積極樂觀的呢?”
Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, 'Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
杰里回答說：“每天早上醒來后我對(duì)自己說，‘杰里，今天你有兩個(gè)選擇。你可以選擇一個(gè)好心情，也可以選擇一個(gè)壞心情。’我選擇了好心情;每次有壞事發(fā)生時(shí)，我可以選擇成為受害者，也可以選擇從中及吸取教訓(xùn)，我選擇了從中吸取教訓(xùn);每當(dāng)有人向我抱怨時(shí)，我可以選擇聽他們抱怨，或者給他們指出生活中積極的一面，我選擇了指出生活中積極的一面。”
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.
“對(duì)，話是沒錯(cuò)，可是做起來可不容易。”我說。
"Yes, it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life."
杰里說：“其實(shí)也容易，生活就是由很多選擇組成的，出去那些不值一提的事情，那么生活中的每件事都是個(gè)選擇。你可以選擇如何回應(yīng)這些事件。你可以選擇周圍人影響你心情的方式。你可以選擇有個(gè)好心情或是壞心情。重點(diǎn)是：你可以選擇如何來過你的生活。”
I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
我仔細(xì)地考慮著杰里的話。不久后，我離開餐廳業(yè)去追求個(gè)人發(fā)展。我們失去了聯(lián)系，但每當(dāng)我對(duì)生活做抉擇而非被動(dòng)接受生活時(shí)，我就會(huì)想起杰里。
Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him.
幾年之后，我聽說杰里犯了個(gè)在餐飲業(yè)不該犯的錯(cuò)誤：一天早晨，他沒關(guān)后門，三個(gè)持槍匪徒走進(jìn)來，拿槍指著他。當(dāng)他們?cè)噲D打開保險(xiǎn)箱時(shí)，他由于緊張，手從保險(xiǎn)鎖上滑下來。匪徒緊張之下開槍打穿了他的手，接著又有三枚子彈正中他的腹部。
Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.
幸運(yùn)的是，杰里很快就被人發(fā)現(xiàn)了，他們很快將他送到了當(dāng)?shù)氐膫熤行?。?jīng)過18小時(shí)的手術(shù)和幾星期的悉心護(hù)理，他終于出院了，體內(nèi)還殘留著子彈的碎片。
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.
那件事之后六個(gè)月后我見到了杰里。我問他身體怎樣了，他答道：“好極了!想不想看看我的傷疤?”我沒看他的傷疤，但我問他在搶劫案發(fā)生的時(shí)候，他腦子里在想些什么。
"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live."
杰里回答說：“我首先想的是我要是把后門鎖上就好了，但是躺在地板上的時(shí)候，我想到自己有兩個(gè)選擇：我可以選擇生，或選擇死。我選擇了生。”
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.
“你難道一點(diǎn)也不怕嗎?你失去知覺了嗎?”我問。
Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, "He's a dead man." "I knew I needed to take action."
杰里繼續(xù)說：“醫(yī)生們很好，他們不斷地告訴我我會(huì)好起來的。但他們推我進(jìn)急救室時(shí)，我看到醫(yī)生和護(hù)士臉上的表情，我覺得很害怕。他們臉上寫著‘這個(gè)人要死了。’我知道我該采取些行動(dòng)了。”
"What did you do?" I asked.
“你做了什么?”我問。
"Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. "Yes," I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Bullets!"
“當(dāng)時(shí)有個(gè)牛高馬大的護(hù)士朝我喊：‘杰里，你對(duì)什么東西過敏嗎?’‘有，’我喊回去。‘是什么?’她問。醫(yī)生和護(hù)士們都停下來等我回答。我深深吸了口氣，喊道：‘子彈：’”
Over their laughter, I told them. "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
“他們?nèi)ζ饋?，接著我?duì)他們說：‘瞧，我選擇要活下來。給我動(dòng)手術(shù)，把我當(dāng)成個(gè)活人而不是死人來醫(yī)治。’”
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
杰里活了下來，部分原因是醫(yī)生的醫(yī)術(shù)高明，但更主要是因?yàn)樗遣磺粨系膽B(tài)度。
Attitude, after all, is everything.
畢竟，態(tài)度能決定一切。

愛與微笑 The poor are very wonderful people.
One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition，and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do.
I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "thank you" and she died. I could not help but examine my conscience(良心) before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place.
And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain(陰溝，下水道) , half eaten with worms(蠕蟲) , and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for."
And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.
初中生英語(yǔ)美文摘抄篇三
Facing Death
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas(胰腺) . I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything isbuttoned up(守口如瓶的) so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy(活組織檢查) , where they stuck an endoscope(內(nèi)窺鏡) down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines(腸) , put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated(安靜的) , but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma(教條) -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition(直覺) . They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
