[考研英语作文词汇及素材【人生哲理类】

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down.

And if that weren‘t enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"

In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away.

But instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "It sure smells pretty and it‘s beautiful, too. That‘s why I picked it; here, it‘s for you."

The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."

But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, He held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.

I heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one. "You‘re welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, Unaware of the impact he‘d had on my day.

I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged plight? Perhaps from his heart, he‘d been blessed with true sight.

Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that‘s mine.

And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose And smiled as that young boy, another weed in his hand About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

哲理是智慧的火花。许多名篇佳作常以至理名言撞击人们的心扉，点燃人们思维的火花，引发读者强烈的共鸣，给人留下深刻的印象。凡优秀作品，往往离不开哲理名句的支撑。哲理句内涵丰厚，点题明旨，精辟蕴藉，启发人们深入思考，令人遐思迩想、回味无穷。哲理句在文章中可起到阐释内容、卒章显旨的作用。在作文中如果能适当地渗透一些哲理句，文章就会有闪光点、动人处，也能使人咀嚼品味，称赞不已。运用哲理句的方法概括为以下几点。

一、以景物悟哲理

神奇的大自然景物会给我们许多启示：成熟的稻穗总是低着头，那是在告诉我们要谦虚；一群蚂蚁抬着面包，那是在告诉我们要齐心协力……其实，大自然本身就是一位哲理老人，只要我们善于发现，总能找出激励自己的哲理。例如：

春天，我要将感恩之心献给大地。没有春雨的滋润，哪有绿叶的生机；没有春风的轻拂，哪有花朵的艳丽？有春天无私的奉献，才有秋天累累的硕果。朋友，漫步在春意盎然的大地上的时候，请带上自己的感恩之心，有了这种心态，自然的一草一木都会成为你最好的朋友。（贵州中考满分作文《留住感恩》）

作者由自然景物“春雨”与“绿叶”、“春风”与“花朵”等所蕴含的感恩哲理，引出入也应该感恩的观点。又如：

野火烧不尽，春风吹又生。我是一株小草，当我在泥土中萌发的时候，呢喃的燕子唤醒了我的生命，淅沥的春雨浇开了我的眼睛，温柔的春风轻抚着我的脸庞。我感谢她们，但我更感谢大地母亲。没有大地的承载，我将失去赖以生存的基础；没有泥土的扶持，我将难以经受狂风暴雨。我与我的无数兄弟，手拉手，肩并肩，以油油的绿意装点春风，以勃勃生机去回报大地。（中考满分作文《得到之后，不要忘记回报》）

作者由自然景物“野草”蓬勃的生命力是大地母亲赋予的体悟出其中所蕴含的深刻的哲理：滴水之恩，当涌泉相报。(中考满分作文 )任何人都不可能独立生存，要学会感恩。父母，朋友，同窗，都有值得我们感激的地方。

二、用名育讲哲理

“格言也罢，名言也罢，作用其实都在指示人们行动，向着某一些目的。”（朱自清《论标语口号》）名言是著名人物在人生实践中的经典感悟，本身就蕴含哲理，在写作中，如能恰当引用一些名言，就可直接说出我们要表达的哲理。例如：

悠悠读书情，方正人生路。从书中我知道了“千锤万凿出深山，烈火焚烧若等闲”的刚正气节；“人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青”的忠贞不渝；“我自横刀向天笑，去留肝胆两昆仑”的壮志豪情；“安能摧眉折腰事权贵，使我不得开心颜”的愤慨和蔑视……于是，我明白了：只有拥有方正气节方得真正人生！（高宏《悠悠读书情》）

作者在这段话中引用了多句名言诗句，使得自己的观点更具说服力，也使得所写文字充满哲理。又如：

读书之趣，二在治国。“生当作人杰，死亦为鬼雄”，南宋女词人的慷慨陈词，激励我做人当胸怀大志，敢为天下先。“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”，范老夫子又勉励我先人后己，才是仁者风范。周恩来少年时“为中华之崛起而读书”的响亮呐喊，更激发我肩负民族兴衰重任，奋勇前进。因为读书，我的心灵渐渐插上理想的翅膀，飞向人生新的高峰。（中考满分作文《读书三趣》）

作者在这里旁征博引，引用了多处名言诗句，发挥灵动而富有弹性的语言，把青云之大志，把对生活的感悟与对文字的把握，散落在洋洋洒洒的字里行间，用语洗练，读书之趣充满哲理。

三、以修辞阐述哲理

利用比喻或拟人等修辞手法，写出一段能引出文章内容的“兴”。此“兴”本身所含的哲理，为引出下文内容作好了铺垫。在写作文时，如果我们能恰当使用这种手法，就能使我们所写的文字充满哲理。例如：

成熟的秋叶会拒绝虬枝的庇护，悠然飘零化作春泥；坚强的云朵会拒绝哭泣的雨滴，拭干泪水露出虹霓；而真正的男儿，会拒绝父母的溺爱，挺起胸膛独自走过风雨荆棘。（中考作文《第一次对母亲说“不”》）

作者用拟人、比喻的修辞手法，把“秋叶”与“虬枝”、“云朵”与“雨滴”巧妙连接起来，形成满含哲理的文字，自然也引出“男儿”与“父母”间应该保持的关系，从而说明拒绝溺爱的重要性。又如：

因为责任，你的生命之舟才满载星辉；因为责任，你的人生之树才根深叶茂；因为责任，你才能在上下求索中引吭高歌；因为责任，你才能稳步前行，蹯响生活节奏的音符。是的，请不要摒弃责任这个神圣的背囊。（中考满分作文《成长需要责任》）

作者运用排比、比喻的修辞手法，由自然事物中蕴含的哲理引出人生的哲理，发人深思，引人重视。

四、以事例讲哲理

这是一种推导的方法，对于一般人来说，我们所说的话本身可信度较低。为了解决论据没有说服力这一问题，我们可以通过一个故事或现实生活中的一件事，从这个故事或这件事中推导出所含的哲理。这样，我们写出的话，就蕴含了哲理。例如：

“对

酒当歌，人生几何。譬如朝露，去日苦多……”曾丞相横槊赋诗慨叹人生苦短；列御寇御风而行，超然洒脱；庄周不为世俗所累；李白淡泊名利留下千古佳话。而反思周兴、来俊臣之辈贪图钱财，使自己一生不得安宁；卫青曾与霍去病抵抗匈奴立下大功，却为了功名害死了李广，自己也忧郁而终。生命应得到善待，但凡追名逐利而不择手段者，其生命也将黯淡无光。（中考满分作文《美在路上》）

作者通过引用大量古人的事例，显示出其中蕴含的哲理，突出这些美的情操需要善待。又如：

从那以后，每当我走在十字街头，现实生活中的或是人生道路上的，当红灯无情地在闪烁时，我总会想起爸爸，想起他的话。我开始学会耐心等待。当灯由红转绿的那一刹那，我满怀着自信与自豪，怀着一片坦然与平静走在通向远处的道路上……（中考满分作文《我因爸爸而自豪》）

作者通过父亲用在十字路口主动等待这件事教育我，告诉我：在人生的十字路口要学会等待。用了．件本来平凡的小事却折射出深刻的哲理，正是这篇文章的独到之处。

五、用故事释哲理

一般的故事都包含着哲理，如果先讲一则故事，把这个故事所包含的哲理当成我们要证明的观点或论据，那么，我们所提出的观点就会带有哲理。例如：

1978年1月，75位诺贝尔奖金获得者在巴黎开会。有人问一位诺贝尔奖金获得者：“您在哪所大学，哪个实验室学到了您认为是最主要的东西？”出乎意料，这位白发苍苍的学者回答：“幼儿园，学到把自己的东西分一半给小伙伴们……”由此可见，好习惯使人终生受益，好习惯可以改变人生。作者用诺贝尔奖获得者感言的故事阐释道理，振聋发聩，引人深思，提出好的习惯能铸就辉煌人生的深刻哲理。又如：

司马迁，为完成父愿，继承了父业。但谁也没有想到，他在为征战沙场的将军李陵求情时，惹恼了汉武帝刘彻，被令在宫刑和死刑中选择一种。为了完成“究天人之际，通古今之变，成一家之言”的《史记》，他忍辱选择了宫刑，在受尽身体和精神上的剧痛之后，终于铸造出“史家之绝唱，无韵之《离骚》”的千古巨著。他的人生因挫折而精彩，他的挫折成为警醒后世的经典。（中考满分作文《人生需要磨炼》）

作者以司马迁个人故事证明了人生需要磨炼。

有时候，作者在一篇佳作中，综合运用修辞、景物、名言等哲理，这样可给人以深度感、厚度感，增强感染力。如：

其实，不仅是我，任何人也都一样。帮助别人，并不仅仅意味着奉献，还会给自己带来许多快乐。也许你的帮助不是鲜花，但它可能是甘露，让鲜花鲜艳开放；也许你的帮助不是太阳，但它可能是蜡烛，在黑暗中发出光芒！（中考满分作文《智慧伴我成长》）

作者综合运用了排比修辞和景物指导的方法，以议论的表达方式，写出含有哲理的语句。读来意蕴隽永，启发丰厚。

If you could choose what kind of world to live in, what kind of world would you choose? If you could decide what would happen tomorrow, with what kinds of things would you fill it?

If you had the power to decide what types of opportunities would come your way, what opportunities would you select? If you knew that your experiences would match your expectations, what would your expectations be?

In fact, you do have the power to choose your own way. You do have the ability to decide what kinds of events, experiences, opportunities and circumstances come your way.

The world you experience is the world that your dreams, your thoughts, your expectations and your actions most closely resonate*. The world you see and live in is the world you most sincerely expect to see.

The universe is filled with endless possibilities, and those possibilities keep growing with every minute. The way you live determines which of those possibilities will come into your life.

With your thoughts, your actions, your values, your dreams and expectations, you choose what kind of world you live in. The way you live is closely mirrored in the world you see.

翻译：如果你可以选择

英语励志短文带翻译:如果你可以选择在什么样的世界里生活,那么你将会选择怎样的世界呢?如果你可以决定明日之事,你将会怎样充实它呢?

倘若你有力量决定自己的机遇,你会怎样选择呢?倘若你知道你的经历会如你所愿,那么你会如何期待呢?

事实上,你有能力选择你要走的路。是你自己决定你将要做的事、英语短文你将获得的经历、你将得到的机会和你将置身其中的环境。

你体验的这个世界和你的梦想、思维、期待甚至行为产生共鸣。你看到的世界和你时下生活的这个世界就是你真心期待见到的世界。

这个宇宙充满了无限的可能,这些可能每一分钟都在增加。你的生活方式决定了何种可能性会来到你的世界。

你所选择生活的世界取决于你的想法,你的作为,你秉持的价值理念,你的梦想还有对未来的期待。你有什么样的世界观就会有什么样的生活方式。

The Great Wall

The Great Wall building has a long history, vast engineering magnificent, is the worlds rare miracle. The Great Wall is the four corners of the world, stretching in our great motherland vast land. It looks like a great dragon, surmounts lofty hills, through the vast grassland, across the vast desert, towards the vast sea. According to historical records, more than 20 states and feudal dynasty built the Great Wall, if constructs each time the Great Wall together, about 100000 miles above. The length of the Great Wall that was built by The Qin, Han, and Ming 3 Dynasty was more than 10 kilo miles. Now our country Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Hunan and other province, city, autonomous regions have the ancient the Great Wall, peak fire platform remains. Of which only the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region the Great Wall amounted to more than 3.

The Ming Dynasty in the" outside" beyond the Great Wall, also built" inside" and" three" the Great Wall the Great Wall. " Neiguan" the Great Wall in the Northern Qi Dynasty had built for the foundation, from Inner Mongolia and Shanxi at the junction of west east “Pianguan”, the Yanmenguan, flat various pass into Hebei, and then turned to the northeast, Fangshan, Changping, the source

of all counties, to pass, and then by the North and East, Huairou to the four customs, and" outside" is connected to the Great Wall, Zijingguan as the center, generally in a north-south direction. " Three" the Great Wall in many places and" inside" the Great Wall, some places two cities are separated by only tens of in. In addition, but also to build a large number of" repeated walls". Yanmenguan area" repeated walls “to have 24 much!

The Great Wall is the working people in ancient China created the miracle. Beginning with QinShihuang, constructs the Great Wall always is a big project. According to the record, QinShihuang used the million of labors to build the Great Wall, occupy countrywide population 1 / 20! There were no machinery, in addition to earth, carrying bricks can use donkeys, goats can climb the cattle, all labor and all must rely on manpower, work environment and high mountains and lofty hills, cliff. Can imagine, no large crowds on hard work, is unable to complete the great project.

The great wall of the engineering quantity, according to rough estimates, only constructs take the Ming Dynasty as an example, if its masoy, earth is used to build a thickness of 1 meter, 5 meters high walls, circled the earth for over a week. If used for paving a 5 meters wide, 35 cm thick road, it could circle the earth three or four

weeks. If all dynasties built a total of 50 thousand kilometers calculation, then this wall can rotate around the earth several weeks, this road, around the earth in thirty or forty weeks.

“Because of the terrain, with risks for plug" is the construction of the Great Wall is an important experience, in the age of QinShihuang had it down, Sima Qian writes it to" historical records". Later each dynasty build the Great Wall are in accordance with the principle of. Who built Guan Cheng pass are the right and wrong choice between two mountains canyons, or river turning point. Or flat contacts pass through, so as to control is important, and may save the manpower and materials, to achieve “If one man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through. Ten thousand cannot force it," effect. Built a castle or Beacon Tower is selected in the" appeared to place" for building a wall, is the full use of the terrain, such as Juyongguan, the Great Wall in Badaling are built along the mountain ridge, some lots from the lateral walls look very steep, we receive" inside is smooth, easily defensible ." effect of. In the territory of Liaoning, Liaodong town of Ming Dynasty the Great Wall has called a precipitous wall, wall of the hill, is the use of vertical cliff, precipice slightly to split cutting you will become the Great Wall. Some places

completely using the cliffs, rivers and lakes as a natural barrier, it can be called art beats nature. The

Great Wall, as a great project, become the Chinese nation is a valuable heritage.

长城修筑的历史悠久，工程雄伟浩大，是世界少有的奇迹。长城东西南北交错，绵延伏于我们伟大祖国辽阔的土地上。它好像一条巨龙，翻越巍巍群山，穿过茫茫草原，跨过浩瀚的沙漠，奔向苍茫的大海。根据历史文献记载，有20多个诸侯国家和封建王朝修筑过长城，若把各个时代修筑的长城加起来，大约有10万里以上。其中秦、汉、明3个朝代所修长城的长度都超过了1万里。现在我国新疆、 甘肃、 宁夏、 陕西、 内蒙古、 山西、河北、北京、 天津、 辽宁、 吉林、 黑龙江、 河南、山东、湖北、湖南等省、市、自治区都有古长城、峰火台的遗迹。其中仅内蒙古自治区的长城就达3万多里。

明朝在“外边”长城之外，还修筑了“内边”长城和“内三关”长城。“内关”长城以北齐所筑为基础，起自内蒙古与山西交界处的偏关以西，东行经雁门关、平型诸关入河北，然后折向东北，经来源、房山、昌平诸县，直达居庸关，然后又由北而东，至怀柔的四海关、与“外边”长城相接，以紫荆关为中心，大致成南北走向。“内三关”长城在很多地方和“内边”长城并行，有些地方两城相隔仅数十里。除此以外，还修筑了大量的“重城”。雁门关一带的“重城”就有24道之多！

长城是我国古代劳动人民创造的奇迹。自秦始皇开始，修筑长城一直是一项大工程。据记载，秦始皇使用了近百万劳动力修筑长城，占全国人口的1/20！当时没有任何机械，除运土、运砖可以用毛驴、山羊能爬山的牲畜外，全部劳动都得靠人力，而工作环境又是崇山峻岭、峭壁深壑。可以想见，没有大量的人群进行艰苦的劳动，是无法完成这项巨大工程的。

万里长城的工程量，据粗略估计，仅以明朝修筑为例，若将其砖石、土方用修筑一道厚1米、高5米的大墙，可环绕地球一周有余。如果用来铺筑一条宽5米、厚35厘米的马路，那就能绕地球三四周了。如果把所有朝代所修的总计10万里来计算，则这道长墙可绕地球十几周，这条马路，可绕地球三四十周。

“因地地形，用险制塞”是修筑长城的一条重要经验，在秦始皇的时候已经把它肯定下来，司马迁把它写入《史记》之中。以后每一个朝代修筑长城都是按照这一原则进行的。凡是修筑关城隘口都是非曲直选择在两山峡谷之间，或是河流转折之处。或是平川往来必经之地，这样既能控制险要，又可节约人力和材料，以达“一夫当关，万夫莫开”的效果。修筑城堡或烽火台也是选择在“四顾要之处”至于修筑城墙，更是充分地利用地地形，如像居庸关、八达岭的长城都有是沿着山岭的脊背修筑，有的地段从城墙外侧看去非常险峻，内侧则甚是平缓，收“易守难攻”之效。在辽宁境内，明代辽东镇的长城有一种

叫山险墙、劈山墙的，就是利用悬崖陡壁，稍微把崖壁劈削一下就成为长城 了。还有一些地方完全利用危崖绝壁、江河湖泊作为天然屏障，真可以说是巧夺天工了.长城，作为一顶伟大的工程，成为中华民族的一份宝贵遗产。

I recently started a new job, in a small office, where four of us share a fridge. In that fridge is a Brita water filter pitcher. One of my coworkers complained the water tasted "dirty". It went on for a few days, and she was stunned I could drink the water without any trouble. I started to doubt my taste buds, but the water really tasted fine.

最近我找了份新工作，是在一间小办公室里，我们四个人共用一个冰箱。冰箱里有一个Brita牌滤水壶，有一个同事抱怨说水喝起来感觉很“脏”，她连续抱怨了几天，还很震惊我喝这样的水竟然没事。我开始怀疑自己的味蕾出问题了，但我真觉着水喝着还不错。

Finally, she figured out the problem was actually her cup. She simply forgot to clean it, and after awhile started to affect the water inside it. She cleaned her cup, and drank the water with no problem.

最后，她发现问题出在了她的杯子上，她只是忘了刷杯子，过一段时间就影响里面水的味道了。她把杯子洗干净了，水就没有异味了。

I cant help but think about the world we live in. Too often we quickly blame other people, other things, anything else but ourselves. "Youre racist". "Youre intolerant". "Youre the problem". The world isnt perfect, I know, but I think we should take a step back sometimes and ask ourselves some tough questions.

我禁不住思考了我们生活的世界，我们总是急于责备其他人、其他事、除了自己之外的一切东西。“你有种族歧视”、“你太狭隘”、“是你的问题”，我知道世界并不完美，但我认为有时我们应该退一步，问自己几个很难回答的问题。

Can I be better? Is my heart really pure? Can I help this situation with kindness?

我能变得更好吗？我的心真的纯洁吗？我能带着善意解决问题吗？

I want to tell you this; please clean your cup. Because when you do, the water will taste much better. I promise you this.

我想告诉你这个道理：请洗干净自己的杯子。因为只有你把杯子洗干净了，里面的水味道才会好，我保证。

People consider that the ghosts who have no home to go will go out for food on the night of October, 31. No matter this story is true or not, people will feel afraid only hearing it. So they decide to have celebration on that day. They will light up lights to frighten the ghosts.

一开始庆祝它主要是为了赞美秋天。所以这个节日是在深秋。它还有另一个传说。很久以前，万圣节都是与鬼魂相关联的。人们认为那些无家可归的鬼魂会在10月31日晚上出来找食物。不管这个传书是真的还是假的，单单听说人们就会感到害怕了。所以，他们决定在那一天庆祝。他们会把灯点亮来吓唬鬼魂。

Not only the kids like the festival, but also some grown-ups love it. They will join parties after making up. This brings them the satisfaction of being young. How about you? Do you love it?

不仅小孩喜欢这个节日，连大人也喜欢。大人们会在画完妆后参加聚会。这可以给他们带来年轻的快感。你呢?你喜欢万圣节吗?

(只为成功找方法，不为失败找理由)

人生不是铺满玫瑰花的途径，每天都是奋斗。每个人的人生过程，是继续不断在奋斗的，下面是小编为大家整理的关于奋斗哲理短文作文的相关资料，供您参考! 奋斗哲理短文作文篇1：为理想奋斗

每个人都拥有梦想，因为它是我们前进的方向，人的一生，不就是为做理想中的自己而奋斗吗?

我曾经思考过自己该成为一个什么样的人，但是，理想始终是理想，如果没有做任何努力，没有信心去实现理想，理想就成了幻想。

理想的力量是无法估量的，它不仅仅是一个目标，也是一个希望，更是一种动力。生命的确是黑暗的，除非有了激励;一切激励都是盲目的，除非有了知识;一切知识都是徒然的，除非有了梦想。因为有了梦想，所以我们才能不断前进。

我们在为梦想而奋斗时，会迷茫，会失去方向，这种时刻，就应该多给自己一些自信，不再彷徨，不再迷茫，看清前方的道路，相信自己一定能成为理想中的自己。坚持着梦想并一直努力的人，总能绽放出令人敬佩的光彩。

当然，总会有那么些许例外，并不是每一个努力的人都能实现梦想。也许他们最终的结果并没有想象中的那么美好，但是要尽了自己最大的努力，不留下遗憾便足够了，我们已经尽了自己的所能。折断了翅膀的白鸽仍有仰望天空的幸福，无法开花的扶桑同样能用绿叶装点大地。

其实理想也是唯一的一个赌注，就好比一个深渊，从跳下那一刻起，就必须奋力拼搏。要么，大鹏展翅，扶摇而上;要么，石沉渊底，再无声响。前者，拥有理想，有目标，有动力，所以不懈努力;后者，没有足够的自信，所以迷失在彷徨中。每一个人都需要理想，不管这个理想是远大或是微不足道，只要你有理想，便有了希望。

理想是石，敲出星星之火;理想是火，点燃熄灭的灯;理想是灯，照亮夜行的路;理想是路，引你走向黎明。在实现梦想的路途上，请带上理想，因为理想有支撑人实现梦想的力量! 奋斗哲理短文作文篇2：执着追求

追求是一种精神，更是一种意志，它可以使我们在人生的道路上更加踏实的走下去，在我们遇到困难时，它可以告诉我更加坚强。

有一种鸟叫做荆棘鸟，它从生下来就有一个理想，飞到荆棘丛最高的一个枝上，让那根刺狠狠地刺入自己的胸膛，唱出一生中最为凄惨而又动听的歌声。为了这一理想，它付诸于行动，在生命的最后一刻唱出了美丽、凄惨的歌声，因此得名：荆棘鸟。虽然，这一理想实在让人无法理解，但是，如果我们拥有像它这样追求的意志，那我们离理想还遥远吗?

古有精卫鸟，相传为炎帝女，因为在东海游泳，不幸溺亡，经常衔西山之木去填东海，这就是精卫填海的传说，也是执着于人生目标的一个精神典型。为了我们的事业与生活，我们永远应该坚守执着，也许收获有迟有早，有大有小，但我们坚守执着的本身，就是一种人生的大收获。

贝多芬从小就生在了一个贫穷的家庭里，但他非常热爱音乐，于是他便在闲暇时光弹奏音乐，长大后，贝多芬果然成为了音乐家，但不幸的是：已步入中年的他耳朵聋了，这对音乐家而言是多么可怕 的一件事啊，但他的理想：创作出第九交响乐曲，还没实现呢，他为了追求这一理想，用嘴叨着木棒碰着琴键来感觉声音，为了追求，他付出了巨大的努力，终于，第九交响曲问世了。

追求可以使自己不再向困难低头，追求时时刻刻地会提醒我们，为了我们辉煌的明天，去追求自己的理想吧!

人生一世，草木一秋，都是一个极其短暂的时间岁月，那么，我想问一问：人究竟为了什么而活着?人生中是不是需要一种执着的精神呢?

执着，就是这样一种勤勉的跋涉，淡泊的心境，一种刚硬的精神气质，一种壁立千仞，无欲则刚的节操。

执着是“咬定青山不放松，任尔东南西北风”。执着是坚守，在纷至沓来的诱惑面前，如锚碇般坚强稳定，稳住左顾右盼，游离不定的心思;执着是忘情是专注，是一心一意的全神贯注的追寻、探索，是锲而不舍孜孜不倦的探求;执着是热情的投入，是一份深深的眷恋;执着也是给予是付出，是全副身心的追求。

执着不仅仅是生存的需要，更是心灵的需要。人活着不能没有东西吸引你往前走，也不能没有为追赶上这个东西而付出奔跑。或许，我们奔跑了仍然没有追上，但为了有所追求而执着，岁是艰辛的，却必然也是一种幸福。

不论你身居达官显位，还是身处平常街巷，无论你奔波于闹市通衢，还是栖身于田园山水，只有有所执着才能置常人眼中的得失、荣辱、毁誉于不顾，才能拥有笑傲人生的旷达与潇洒。

执着是一场漫长的分期分批的投资，而成功是对这场投资的一次性回报。执着于自己所爱的事业，追求一份成功与收获，该是生命的价值与意义，只有坚守执着才可能有所收获。

欣赏执着，品味人生。如果说软弱是生命的悲哀和无奈，逃避是意志的沉沦和丧失，那么执着则是理想的升华和永恒。

我们总会因为世俗的追求而放弃了很多值得的过去，还有令自己叹息的将来，岂不知，我们只是多了一点贪婪，少了一点无私，多了一点努力，少了一点执着，多了一次放弃，少了一次对自己的承诺。

想一想，只是少了一点，但人生却留下了后半生来忘记遗憾，而如果，只是多了一点，却丰富了过程，心永远不会遗憾。

向着心中的梦想而执着地努力，不要留下任何的遗憾。

我家有一只小狗，名叫点点，今年三岁，毛色是浅黄色的，非常讨人喜欢，点点的鼻子黑黑的，长得及小，它天生有一种傲慢的性格。

点点是一只金毛。还记的2007年冬天，正下着鹅毛大雪，它的母亲把它生下来，一个月以后我去姥姥家把它抱了回来，但它分外的小，它就是两斤左右，点点在我家生活了一年左右，因为我家没有黄土，点点的大小便也成了一个问题，无奈之下妈妈不得不把它寄存在姥姥家，点点刚走的的那几天，我无时无刻不在想它，干什么事都无精打彩，时间久了，我也渐渐淡忘了。

至从有一天，妈妈说：好久没去姥姥家了，今天去看看吧，这使我猛的想起了被我遗忘的好朋友点点，吃过午饭，我们去了姥姥家，一见面，我还差点没有认出，当初像“豆芽形”的小狗，现在却长得又粗又高，看起来威风凛凛的，鼻子上也有一点淡淡的红色，显得格外精神。

在回家的路上，我想了许久，为什么当初的小狗到了姥姥家就长大了?也吃胖了呢?我想是因为姥姥家的饭很合它的胃口吧。呵呵，我家的小点点可爱吧。

我喜欢乒乓球和足球，象棋。足球是我最喜欢的运动。我擅长踢足球。我认为这对我来说很容易。我最喜欢的足球运动员。他是舍甫琴科。他在AC米兰俱乐部。我想得一个著名的足球运动员一样，舍甫琴科。我经常与我父亲在周末踢足球。在星期日我喜欢看足球比赛。我的天，我的一个学生。我去学校从星期一到friaday。我在早上十点起床到六。然后我洗我的脸。我六点吃早饭。早餐后，我去学校。我通常乘公共汽车去学校，但是如果我起床太晚了，我会开车去。我开始在八班。我有四个在上午的课。中午，我没有时间回家。所以我在学校吃午餐。在二点的时候，我在纽约的朋友踢足球。我的课程是在四三零。之后我回家在五点二十分回家。我和父母一起吃晚饭在六。我经常吃的肉，鱼，和一些蔬菜。有时我吃饺子。晚饭后，我洗衣服。然后我做我的家庭作业或听流行音乐。我去睡觉大约一零三零。

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."

The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.

After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

The significant inscription found on an old key "If I rest, I rust" would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest taint of idleness. Even the most industrious might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示：如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture --- every department of human endeavor.

有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业：科学，艺术，文学，农业等。

Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer

勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家爱德蒙斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为著名的天文学家。

Labor vanquishes all --- not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor, but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。

The Blacksmith And Dog

Those who will not work deserve to starve.

A Blacksmith had a little Dog, which used to sleep when his master was at work, but was very wide awake indeed when it was time for meals.

One day his master pretended to be disgusted at this, xiaogushi8.com and then he had thrown him a bone as usual, he said, “What on earth is the good of a lazy cur like you?”

When I am hammering away at my anvil, you just curl up and go to sleep: but no sooner do I stop for a mouthful of food than you wake up and wag your tail to be fed.

Our English teacher， Mrs Wang， is about forty years old。 She always wears a pair of glasses。 She is very strict with us。 When we make a mistake， she often makes us stand up。 But we hear that her home is far from our school。 Every morning she has to walk to school for forty minutes。 And she is never late。 Then we come to see that Mrs Wang loves us dearly。 She teaches us so carefully。 In fact， she is a good teacher.

once upon a time, the circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching.Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

The lesson of the story was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some says a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to hope, to nourish his soul with the dream of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had.

There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.

Instead of saying "I dont have time" try saying "its not a priority" and see how that feels. Often thats a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just dont want to. But other things are harder. Try it:

与其说“我没有时间”不如试着说“这事不紧急”，看看效果有什么不同。通常情况下，这个一个理由充分的借口。我有时间熨床单，但我就是懒得去做。那要是换成别的事情就没有说的这么轻巧了，试试下面的说法。

"Im not going to edit your resume, sweetie, because its not a priority."

“亲爱的，我不会去帮你改简历的，因为这不是什么要紧的事情。”

"I dont go to the doctor because my health is not a priority."

“我不会去看医生的，因为我的健康不是什么要紧的事情。”

If these phrases dont sit well, thats the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we dont like how were spending an hour, we can choose differently.

这些说法是不是听起来很怪，对，这就是重点。换个不同的表达方式，让我们意识到时间是一种选择。如何度过某个小时，根据我们的喜恶，我们的选择会大不相同。

A man of the state of Zheng wanted to buy a pair of shoes.

从前，郑国有个人想买双鞋。

He measured his foot and put the measurement on a chair.

他量好了自己脚的尺码，把它放在了椅子上。

When he set out for the market,he forgot to bring it along.

可当他赶往市集时，却忘了带量好的尺码。

It was after he had found the pair he wanted that this occurred to him.

他要买鞋时，才想了起来。

"I forgot the measurement", said he.

他说：“我忘带尺码了。”

He went home to get it. But when he returned, the market had closed and he did not get his shoes after all.

他回家去取量好的尺码。等他赶回来时，市集已经关了，他还是没能买到鞋。

"Why didnt you try on the shoes with your feet?" He was asked.

有人问：“为什么不用你自己的脚去试一试鞋子呢?”

"Id rather trust the measurement than trust myself."

他说：“我宁愿相信尺码也不相信我自己的脚。”
