布达佩斯之恋 Down in Budapest
The night is long,goes on and on
Before me lies the break of dawn
Another day to wonder
What I'll find along my way
Just what to do I wish I knew
So all alone I'm missing you
The blue Danube
The sun put color of my soul in you
Budapest....
The day begins,the gentle wnd
As sweet as lonesome violins
So clear and bright
I watched the river rolling out of sight
I can't define this home of mine
This home,I'm waiting for the sign
Will I be lessed to find you
Somewhere down in Budapest
I'm lost in memories down in Budapest
I'm lost in memories down in Budapest
......
夜漫漫，时间无休止地流逝
黎明在我眼降临
这一天我又会彷徨，不知道
沿着自己的生命轨道，我将找到什么
该做些什么，我希望我知道
我一直在独自想念你
蓝色的多瑙河
阳光把我灵魂的颜色照进你心里
布达佩斯……
这一天开始了，轻柔的风
和寂寞的小提琴一样美好
如此清澈明亮
我看见河流奔腾出视野之外
我无法给我的这个家下定义
这个家，我在等待着一个信号
上苍会不会保佑我找到你
在布达佩斯街道的某个地方
沿着布达佩斯的街道游走，我迷失在记忆里
沿着布达佩斯的街道游走，我迷失在记忆里
沿着布达佩斯的街道游走，我迷失在记忆里

妙“想”生花 Getting behind the Creative Mind
The world is but a canvas to the imagination.
——Henry David Thoreau
世界对富有想象力的人来说只是一块帆布。——亨利·大卫·梭罗
Creativity is not,as some would have us believed,something to be taken lightly.More than painting pictures or composing original music—creativity could rightly be considered a healing force for societies overwhelmed by the ongoing utilitarian struggles of humanity.Call it a cure for depression,an escape from working—class drudgery,catharsis for the stress and worry that accumulates within us all.Or just call it a fun and productive way to wile away an afternoon.
创造力并不像人们让我们相信的那样，是不以为然的东西。这不像绘画或者原创音乐那样，创造力可以看做是治愈被持续的社会功利斗争所压迫人性的力量.我们称之为治疗抑郁的良药，逃避工薪阶层的苦差事，积压在我们内心所有压力和忧虑的宣泄。或者只是一个消磨一个下午的有趣高效的方法。
But the spark of creativity is not always easily lit.As children,our creative zeal is generally encouraged and allowed to thrive,but as we move into adulthood that zeal tends to atrophy from neglect.Other things take over our lives,such as hectic career schedules and increased social pressure to achieve "status".According to Elisabeth Keating inPieces of Beauty,this is an unhealthy trend spawned from an overly materialistic culture.She gose on to detail the spiritual benefits of a more creative life.
但创造力的火花并不容易点燃。作为孩子，我们的创作热情容易受到鼓励和发展，但随着我们进入成年期，热情往往容易减退。其它事情占据了我们的生活，如简单忙碌的职业计划和为了获得地位产生的社会压力。根据伊丽莎白.基庭的《美丽碎片》，这是由过度的物质文化产生的一种不健康趋势。她继续深究更有创造性的生活的精神上的益处。
Tongue in cheek,Melvin Durai exposes creativity from a more "everyday" and practical angle in his humorous piece,Let the Beer Come to You.Not only have great minds invented personal computers and cell phone technology,they might also bless us with beertossing refrigerators and couches that spit out lost remote controls.
Melvin Durai在用他的诙谐作品《让啤酒来到你的身边》开玩笑似的从日常和实践的角度剖析创造性。
Clearly,the expression of artistic creativity throughout history has been just a instrumental in improving the human condition as any business venture or economic boom.Without it there would be no great works of art to enjoy and puzzle over,no songs to sing badly in the shower,no ho new fashion trends,no novels to read.I ask you,is that the sort of world you want to live in?
显然，纵观历史，艺术创作的表达一直只是一个改善人类生存条件成为一切商业风险和经济繁荣的工具。没有创造力就不会有伟大的艺术作品供欣赏和思索，就没有糟糕的洗澡歌，就没有潮流趋势，就没有小说可以读。我问你们，那是你们想要生活的那种世界吗?
经典英语美文
毕业，继续前进 Graduation and Moving On
At least once a year, there are a lot of graduations.It’s a time when a lot of people move on,from where they were, to another school or another class,or out into a real world.To graduate means to take a step forward, to move onward.I can remember my high school graduation,my graduation from university,and even my graduation from graduated school.Each of those graduations was nice.I took pictures, I got flowers, I hug my parents.I had the motions to moving on, I want to stay and have more fun.But I also want to move on.When we hear the word graduation, we naturally think of graduating from school.But I think it’s possible to graduate from different places, or stages in life.I worked in a company in New York for about three years.In one point I felt I couldn’t learn anything else from the company,where the people I was working with.Then I had hit a ceiling, I felt that was time to move on.The way that I describe that moving on is a graduation.Some times we are thrown out into the world or to the next level,whether we are ready or not.Other times we get the truth when we want to move on.I have experienced both.I preferred the second one, where I have a choice,I like the truth when and how, but we don’t always get what we want,since we can learn from every experience that we have,each experience can be a stepping stone for us to be better people.I know that I take lessons with me every time I graduated,but some times I can be a slow learner.I wonder when my next graduation is going to be.
至少每年一次,会有很多的毕业典礼。这是一个很多人继续前行的时刻，他们从现在的地方到另一个学校或者另一个班级，或者走出学校真正步入社会。毕业就以为这向前迈一步，继续前行。我还记得我高中，大学，甚至是研究生的毕业典礼。每一次毕业典礼都很棒。我拍了照片，收到了花，拥抱了父母。我曾有想继续下去的动力，我希望留下并获得更多的乐趣。但我也想继续前行。当我们听到毕业一词的时候，我们会自然而然的想到学校的毕业典礼。但是我认为我们有可能从人生的不同地方不同阶段毕业。我在纽约一家公司工作了快三年。在某种程度上,我觉得我无法从公司和同事身上学到东西。然后我已经达到了一种上限,我觉得是时候继续前行了。我所描述的继续前行的方式是毕业。有时我们被带入世界或进入下一个阶段，不管我们是否为此做好了准备。其他时候，我们得知当我们想继续前进的事实。我已经都经历过了。我更喜欢第二个，我可以选择，我喜欢这个何时以及如何的事实，但我们不能总是得到我们想要的东西，因为我们可以从我们每次的经历中学到东西，每次经历都可以成为我们成为更好的人的一块垫脚石。我知道每次毕业我都要学习一些东西，但有时候我可以是一名缓慢的学习者。我想知道我的下一次毕业是何时。

英语美文小短文欣赏篇一
铺满钻石的土地Acres of Diamonds
There was a farmer in Africa who was happy and content. He was happy because he was content. He was content because he was happy.
从前在非洲有一位快乐而满足的农夫。他因满足而快乐，同时也因快乐而感到满足。
One day a wise man came to him and told him about the glory of diamonds and the power that goes along them.
有一天，一位智者向他走来并告知他关于钻石的荣耀，以及随之而来权力。
The wise man says, “If you had a diamond the size of your thumb, you could have your own city. If you had a diamond the size of your fist you could probably own your own country.” And then he went away.
智者说，“如果你拥有一块拇指般大的钻石，你就能换到一座属于自己的城市;如果你拥有一块拳头般大的钻石，你就可能会拥有一个属于自己的国家。”说完他便离开了。
That night the farmer couldn't sleep. He was unhappy and he was discontent. He was unhappy because he was discontent, and he was discontent because he was unhappy.
那一晚，农夫难以入睡，他开始变得不快乐而且不满足起来。他因不满足而不快乐，同样也因为不快乐而变得不满足。
The next morning he made arrangements to sell off his farm, took care of his family and went in search of diamonds. He looked all over Africa and couldn't find any. He looked all through Europe and couldn’t find any. When he got to Spain, he was emotionally, physically and financially broke. He got so disheartened that he threw himself into the Barcelona River and committed suicide.
第二天早上，他卖掉了自己的农场，安顿好了他的家人便踏上了寻找钻石之路。他寻遍了整个非洲但却一无所获。他找遍整个欧洲还是一无所获。当他到达西班牙的时候，他已精神崩溃、周身疲惫、钱财耗尽。绝望之下，他跳进了巴塞罗那河，自杀了。
Back home, the person who had bought his farm was watering the camels at a stream that ran through the farm. Across the stream, the rays of the morning sun hit a stone and made it sparkle like a rainbow.
而在他的家乡，买下他农场的那个人此时正在小溪边给骆驼饮水。潺潺的溪水流经了整个农场。清晨的阳光穿过溪水照射在一块石头上，折射的光芒好像是一道彩虹。
He thought it would look good on the mantelpiece. He picked up the stone and put it in the living room. That afternoon the wise man came and saw the stone sparkling. He asked, "Is Hafiz back?"
这人心想：若是将这块石头摆在壁炉架上一定会十分漂亮。于是，他捡起石头并把它放到客厅里。当天下午，那个智者又出现了。他看到闪闪发光的石头，便问道：“哈夫兹(旧主人)回来了吗?”
The new owner said, "No, why do you ask?" The wise man said, "Because that is a diamond. I recognize one when I see one." The man said, "No, that's just a stone I picked up from the stream. Come, I'll show you. There are many more.' They went and picked some samples and sent them for analysis. Sure enough, the stones were diamonds. They found that the farm was indeed covered with acres and acres of diamonds.
新主人回答说：“没有啊!你为什么会这么问?”智者回答道：“因为这石头是一块钻石，我一眼就能识别。”新主人说：“不是!这只是我从溪水中捡起的一块石头。不信，你就跟我来，那里还有好多呢!” 于是两人走到小溪边，捡了一些石头送去验证。毫无疑问，这些石头确实是钻石!他们还发现这整个农场蕴藏着大量的钻石。

你多大年纪how old are you
if we did not know our age, some of us would appear to be very young, and some of us would seem very old.
如果不知道年龄，我们中的某些人会变得很年轻，而某些人会变得苍老。
sometimes, people use age as a convenient excuse. “i am too old to start something new,” or, “i couldn’t learn that at my age.” other people, though, go on to achieve their greatest accomplishments in life in later years.
有时人们只是用年龄作为一个方便的借口。“我太老了，不能从头来过。”或者说：“我这把年纪学不会了。”还有些人能够在生命的后期完成最伟大的成就。
take, for example, colonel harland sanders who started franchising his chicken outlets when he was 65 years old, duanwenw.com up to the age of 90 years old he traveled 250000 miles a year visiting kfc franchises. he didn’t let age stand in his way!
比如桑德斯上校65岁时开始授权推出他的炸鸡，到90岁时仍然每天长途跋涉二十五万英里检查肯德基特许经营店。他不仅克服了自身经营上的困难，更重要的上他没让年龄成为拦路虎。
feeling lead to attitudes, attitudes become beliefs, and beliefs become the basis for actions.
感觉导致态度，态度变成信仰，信仰变成行动的根本。
it is not important how old you are;
多大年纪并不重要
it is how you feel, how you think, duanwenw.com
重要的是你之所想你之所感
and what you do that is important.
以及你之所为
to quote satchel paige, “how old would you be if you didn’t know how old you was?”
撒切尔.佩吉说过：“忘记你多大，你想多大就是多大。”

an individual human life should belike a river生命应该像条河
whether sixty or sixteen, there is the desire of wonders, the endless pure desire of what’s next and the joy of the game of living in every human being’s heart.
无论是60岁还是16岁,你都要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的求知欲和享受在某某心里仍留有一席之地的乐趣。
in the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: it receives messages of beauty, hope, pleasure, courage and power from men, and all these things keep you young.
在你我的心中有一座无线电台:它能接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量,而所有这些会让你青春焕发。
an individual human life should be like a river —small at first, narrowly contained within its banks and rushing passionately duanwenw.com past rocks and over waterfalls. gradually, the river grows wider and the banks fall back, the water flows more quietly. in the end, without any visible break, they come together in the sea and painlessly lose their individual being.
生命应当像条河,开始是涓涓细流,受两岸的限制而变得狭窄,而后奔腾咆哮,翻过危岩,飞越瀑布;渐渐地河面变得开阔,河岸也随之向两边隐去,最后水流平缓,汇入大海之中,个人就这样毫无痛苦地消失了。
youth means courage over shyness and the adventurous spirit of deserting the love of ease. duanwenw.com this often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty. nobody grows old merely by a number of years. we grow old by deserting our ideals. years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up passion wrinkles the soul. worry, fear and self-distrust bow the heart and turn the spirit back into dust.
青春意味着战胜懦弱胆小的勇气和摒弃安逸的冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致,更主要的是不思进取的结果。光阴可以在肌肤上留下印记,而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹。烦恼、恐惧、缺乏自信会扭曲人的灵魂,并将青春化为灰烬!
