知足常乐英文演讲

随着我国经济建设和社会的发展,社会用人单位对毕业生(尤其是研究生这样的高层次人才)的英语口语水平提出了更高的要求。我精心收集了两分钟英语演讲小短文，供大家欣赏学习!

Me:

The clock is ticking and tomorrow is my special day.

时钟滴滴答答的走着，明天对我来说意义非凡。

I wonder what people will say.

我想知道人们会怎么说。

Will they greet me or just say hi.

他们会欢迎我吗?还是仅仅说声“你好”。

Ha-ha as if they all remember my natal day.

哈哈，说得好像他们都记得我出生那天一样。

Mther:

Oh! One thing I realize as I get little older is that we should value our lives and spend it meaningfully.

当大一点的时候，我开始意识到，我们应该珍惜当下生活，让它变得有意义。

Dream big and set plans.

放胆做梦，并为此指定计划。

I thank God for helping me to achieve my goal each year.

感谢上帝，让我每年的目标都得以实现。

Although not everything is perfect, but somewhat closer to that. I surpassed my 2016 with a #goalmet and proudly to say that building my own family is a gift.

虽不是所有的目标都实现得非常完美，但是多少都在朝着目标迈进。2016年的目标我都已经达成，而且还为家庭建设孕育了一个礼物为此我很傲娇。

Thank you God for the most special gift I got last year. Soon I will get to see it. I do promise to take good care of it.

感谢上苍在2016年就给我了这个特别的礼物，不久我就会见到TA了而且我发誓我会好好照顾TA

Me and my husband waiting for our fruit. A fruit made with love. A fruit that we dream of. A special gift that forever we will treasure. A baby I will name as baby Z.

。丈夫和我都在等待我们的结晶，我们都梦寐以求的爱的结晶.这份特别的礼物我们都会永远珍惜。我们会给这个宝贝取名叫Z。

I'm just sitting here in my room today, listening to music while it rains outside my window, and I can't stop thinking about how happy I am and how great my life is. There's nothing particularly special about it - I'm not rich or famous, I'm not exceptionally talented, and I don't do anything particularly fabulous for a living. But I feel somewhat organized, I have a clean room and a car and a job, and most of all what makes it great is the mere fact that I feel happy.

今天我坐在自己的房间里，听着音乐，窗外下着雨，我不由得感到自己是多么愉快、生活是多么美妙。尽管我不是什么大富大贵，社会名流，也没有智力超群，或是做什么伟大的事情来营生。但是我感觉一切井井有条，我有一个干净的房间、一辆车以及一份工作。但是最重要的是，我单纯觉得快乐。

I know this may not seem like the most interesting story in the world, but when I was twelve, I was deeply suicidal.

我知道这看起来不像是什么世间的奇闻异事，但是在我12岁的时候，我非常想自杀。

I'm sharing my good mood today because I know there are tons of people out there who struggle with life.

今天我和大家分享这种岁月静好的心情，是因为我知道还有很多人都遭受生活的苦楚和折磨。

Not even necessarily the outward details of their lives, but the inner demons that exist within their minds.

不仅仅有生活中的外在琐事给他们添堵，还有内心的怪兽在作祟。

I want you to know - if that's you - that the mere possibility of reaching a place of inner peace is worth it. It is worth hanging on for.

我想让你们知道的是，很少有人能真正达到内心平和，但是这种为达到这种状态值得坚持磨炼。

I was probably 25 when happiness and contentment became my default emotions. It took a long time, and it took a lot of change, pain and growth. But now that I'm here, it feels permanent. And the emotions of the past feel like they happened to someone else. They are so foreign and distant to me. For some, it may take even longer, and it may take even more. But I cannot imagine even for a second that the struggle wouldn't be worth it if this is the end result.

我可能直到25岁才让知足常乐变成一种情绪上的常态。这中间需要很长的时间，很多的改变，痛苦让你成长。现如今我的情绪变得稳定而长久，回忆起之前的种种好像是发生在别人的身上，对于现在我来说是那么的陌生和遥远。对于有些人来说，获得这种安定的心境要花更长的时间，做更多的改变。但是如果经历了所有折磨还是无法改变什么，结果一点都不值得，关于这个我想都不敢想。

That's it. I just wanted to share my positive vibes with everybody. The world can be an amazing place if you let it, and you can be an amazing person. You probably already are. Good luck, and please never give up. I hope that today, you all feel a little bit of love. Thanks for reading.

我想用这种积极的情绪感染大家。只要你想世界就会变得美好，同样的你也可以成为更好的人。也许你已经足够好了。那么好运，要保持不要放弃。我希望我的分享能够让你感觉到一点小温柔。

I've been job hunting for about eight months.

在八个月的时间里，我一直在找工作。

A few weeks ago I went to an interview and handed off my car to the valet guy.

几周以前，我开车参加一个面试，把车子交给停车的侍者。

As I was waiting for the elevator I heard him tell his coworker that he would kill for a coffee, so after my interview I stopped at the cafe in the lobby and grabbed one for him.

在我等电梯的时候，我听见他对他的同事说自己超想来一杯咖啡，于是面试结束，我在门廊顺便买了一杯给他。

He was super grateful and asked for my business card.

他显得非常感动，还要了张我的名片。

I gave it to him, thinking maybe he wanted to send me a thank you email or something.

我给了他一张，想着他无非会写封感谢邮件或者做之类(表达谢意)的事情。

The next day I got a call from the manager at this big staffing agency in our city. She was the valet guy's cousin and he asked her to call me. I ended up meeting with her in person, and after only a week she found me my dream job. Today was my first day, and it went perfectly.

隔天我就接到了那个停车侍者表姐的电话，原来她就是我们当地最大职介结构经理，而且就是那个侍者叫她打给我的。职介经理亲自和我会面约谈，短短一周她就帮我找到了梦寐以求的工作。今天是我上班的第一天，进展非常顺利。

Be nice to everyone, all the time.

(我的心得是)要把体恤他人，常挂心间。
