Everyone needs a few luxuries to be happy.
A six-figure income affords a family many pleasures-- a more luxurious home, perhaps a trip to Disneyland or a fancier car. But do such things make you happier?
Pleasure is not the same as happiness. Pleasure is a temporary release.
Happiness comes from experiences in which one's mental and emotional energies are invested.
Just as happy families value pleasures that involve personal effort, so they value possessions that have personal meaning, like Grandma's wedding ring. Unhappy people,however, are more likely to prize possessions because of their cost or utility, a car that handles well or an expensive necklace.
Happiness is a permanent vacation.Would you quit your job if you didn' t need the money?Many Americans said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Yet researchers find that work is one of life's chief satisfactions for people.
A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth.
(每个人都需要一些奢侈品要快乐.
6位数的收入提供一个家庭的许多乐趣——一个更豪华的家园,或者一个去迪斯尼乐园的旅行或一个更漂亮的车.但做这样的事情会让你感到开心吗?
快乐是不一样的幸福.快乐是一种暂时释放.
幸福来自经验的精神和情感能量的投资.
正如幸福的家庭价值的享乐,涉及个人的努力,所以他们价值的财产,如有个人的意义,奶奶的结婚戒指.然而,不幸的人更容易珍藏,因为他们的费用或工具,处理好一辆昂贵的项链或.
幸福是一种永久性的假期.
你会辞职,如果你根本不需要钱吗许多美国人说戒烟的工作是一项重要的原因是丰富的.不过,调查人员发现,工作是生活中的主要满足感的人.
一份工作,研究表明,不仅仅是一种薪水.做些好能增加信心与自我价值感.)
Money and Happiness
Philosophers rarely necessary because of the money because they believe that money can bring happiness is very limited. As Epicurus said: more money will not be more than happy to make money has been achieved limited level. Whether this understanding, it is because they have another way to enjoy a happy, have a mind. It is the joy and spirit of comparison, the material can bring the joy of showing its limited only to the spirit of happiness can be unlimited. Therefore, the sage is a common feature: on the one hand, as happy to see the limited material, the material will be able to at least enable them to meet; On the other hand, because the spirit of boundless desire to be happy, no amount of material does not allow them to meet
(金钱和快乐
哲学家很少的钱,因为他们相信金钱可以带来幸福是很有限的.像伊壁鸠鲁说:更多的钱不会很乐意让钱已经取得了有限的水平.这是否理解,这是因为他们有另一种方式去享受幸福,有一个想法.它的欢乐和精神的比较,可以带来欢乐的材料只显示出它的精神可以无限快乐.因此,圣人是一种常见的特征:一方面,高兴地看到这个有限的资料,资料能够使他们能够满足最少;另一方面,因为圣灵的无限的快乐,再多的资料不允许他们见面)
One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.
Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."
The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just children's fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.
(关于万圣节有这样一个故事.是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人,因为他对钱特别的吝啬,就不允许他进入天堂,而被打入地狱.但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦,所以被踢出地狱,罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走.
在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”,他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛.为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节,孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物.这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”,缩写为Jack-o'-lantern .
现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚.在小学校里,万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的.孩子们会制作万圣节的装饰品：各种各样桔红色的南瓜灯.)

近年来，随着小学英语教学日益为国家和全社会所重视，在许多地方的小学英语已经成为了一门必修课。我整理了有关150词英语短文，欢迎阅读!
heavy schoolwork【课业繁重】
In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了,虽然说学生的确应当念书,但是要想长大成为健全的人,他门还需要一些其它的东西,所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间.娱乐并不如某些人所想的,是在浪费时间,它可以让学生锻炼身体,发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力.此外,繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张,这对身心都有害.我并非主张废除学校课业,但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的.
Work and Play【工作与娱乐】
Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.
What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.
工作与娱乐并不互相冲突,事实上,它们之间的关系还相辅相成.有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐,会令人变得沉闷乏味.」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活,将使你一事无成,因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦.由另一方面来说,适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道,来渲泄你被压抑的情绪,减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦.
放学之后,我最常做的休闲活动,便是慢跑与看电影.通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动,但是我很重视学校的体育课.在操场上慢跑几圈,无疑地可以减轻一天的压力.在周末时,我都去看早场电影,享受视觉飨宴.如此一来,我将有如再生般的充沛活力,去面对下一星期的工作量.
Learning：A Lifelong Career【学习：一生的事业】
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
学习之于心灵,就像食物之于身体一样.摄取了适量的营养食物,我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达.同样地,我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力,并扩充我们的智力容量.不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料,来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力.持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法,也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证.
一旦学习停止,单调贫乏的生活就开始了.视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误.相反地,学习应该是一种无终止的历程,从生到死.由于世界一直快速地在变动,只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后.更糟的是,蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活,削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志,弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心,而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望.缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞,甚至更糟地,使其僵化.因此,为了保持心理年轻,我们必须将学习当作一生的事业.
