～凭凑不齐～
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. 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 enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite for what's next in the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80. 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。 无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。 一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。谁是你的守护天使Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God,"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"从前，有个孩子马上就要诞生了。因此有一天他问上帝：“听说明天你就送我去人间了，但是，我这么弱小和无助，我在那儿怎么生活呢？” God replied,"Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you." 上帝答道：“在众多的天使中，我特别为你挑了一位。她会守候你、无微不至地照顾你。” But the child wasn't sure he really wanted to go."But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy."小孩还是拿不准自己是否真的想去。“但是在天堂，我除了唱唱笑笑外，什么也不做。这就足以让我感到幸福了。” "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."“你的天使每天会为你唱歌，为你微笑。你会感受她的爱，并且因此而幸福。” "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me,"the child continued,"if I don't know the language that men talk?"“如果我不懂人类的语言，他们对我说话时，我怎么听得懂呢？”孩子继续问道。 God patted him on the head and said,"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."上帝轻轻地拍了一下孩子的脑袋说：“你的天使会对你说最最美丽、最最动听的话语，而这些都是你从未听过的。她会不厌其烦地教你说话。” "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"“如果我想与你说话怎么办？” But God had an answer for that question too."Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."上帝胸有成竹地回答：“你的天使会将你的双手合拢，教你如何祈祷。” "I've heard that on earth there are bad men, who will protect me?"“听说尘世有很多坏蛋，谁来保护我呢？” "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life!"“即使冒着生命危险，你的天使也会保护你的。” "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore,"the child continued warily.“但是见不到你，我会难过的。”小孩小心翼翼说道。
分享奇闻怪事
英语现在已经发展成为一个在世界范围内使用最广泛的语言。我精心收集了300-400字的英语美文摘抄，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。
Being Thankful Despite The Odds
不管未来怎样，我都要过得快乐。
My name is Judy and I am doing a GoFundMe campaign for my mom, everyone knows her as, Kelly.
我叫朱迪，我为我妈妈参加了一个“去找到我”的活动，每个人都因此认识她，凯利。
My mom has been through a tremendous amount of pain and suffering given her ongoing, serious medical issues.
我妈妈在她前进道路上经历过许许多多疼痛与痛苦，包括严重的病痛。
She is beating the odds and fights everyday.
她不给任何困难机会，每天与病魔抗争。
Despite everything, she felt it important to make and deliver fruit gift baskets to all of the doctors and rehab facility offices a couple days ago, just to say "Thank you" for helping her.
尽管如此艰难，她还是认为，在前几天给所有医生和康复办公室的工作人员制作果篮并送给他们，是非常重要的，一切只为了对帮助她的人说声“谢谢”。
She has been in bed since as it wiped her out for days.
从她被隔离有一段时间开始，她就一直卧床。
She continues to struggle everyday.
她仍然坚持每天与病魔抗争。
She tries to find the little things she is thankful for and I think this helps her continue to put one foot in front of the other.
她试着发现每一个微不足道却值得她感激的细节，我觉得这些帮她一步一步艰难地坚持着向前走。
She's a trooper! My mom and I are so grateful and appreciative of everyone's help and support so far.
她是一个骑士!我妈妈和我都特别感激至今为止，每个人的努力和支持。
Up to this point, with what we have raised, we have been able to pay some of the bills so far including one of the rehab center bills. Yeah!
说到这里，在筹集到的善款的帮助下，到现在为止我们已经能够付得起一些账单了，包括一笔来自康复中心的账单。太好了!
But, we still have a lot more bills and collection company notices to pay.
但是，我们仍然有许多账单和讨债公司的催款要还。
Reaching our goal would help decrease her enormous stress and worry that I know cannot be helping her recover and get stronger.
实现我们的目标会帮助减轻妈妈的巨大压力和担忧，我知道这些东西是不会帮她恢复和变得坚强的。
Asking for help, especially in such a public forum, is very difficult for both of us.
寻求帮助，尤其是在这样一个公共平台上，对我们来说太难了。
