v.獲得【譯文】讀書使人完美我們知道造就一個(gè)“完人”的真正因素既不是教育也不是經(jīng)驗(yàn)，而是讀書。通過(guò)閱讀科學(xué)論文，我們能知道許多事實(shí)；通過(guò)閱讀地理，我們知道地球的表面、形狀和物理特征等。通過(guò)閱讀歷史，我們了解到了國(guó)家的發(fā)展歷程。我們能用眼睛看，用耳朵聽。但在一定距離，靠肉眼就難于辨認(rèn)小的事物，沒有傳話筒我們就聽不見一般的聲音。只有通過(guò)讀書，我們才能知道許多不是我們耳聞目睹的事。而且，關(guān)于世界上正在思考和正在做的事情的很多知識(shí)，我們只能通過(guò)閱讀報(bào)紙和雜志來(lái)獲得。所以，不管我們所受的教育程度多高，也不管我們有多少經(jīng)驗(yàn)，我們都不可能因此而成為“完人”。除非我們不斷地讀書。HappinessIsYourOwnChoiceMostofuscompareourselveswithanyonewethinkishappier—arelative,someoneweknowalot,orsomeonewehardlyknow.Asaresult,whatwedorememberisanythingthatmakestheothershappy,anythingthatmakesourselvesunhappy,totallyforgettingthatthereissomethinghappyinourownlife.Sothebestwaytodestroyhappinessistolookatsomethingandfocusoneventhesmallestflaw.Itisthesmallestflawthatwouldmakeuscomplain.Anditisthecomplainthatleadstousbecomingunhappy.Ifonechoosestobehappy,hewillbeblessed;ifhechoosestobeunhappy,hewillbecursed.Happinessisjustwhatyouthinkwillmakeyouhappy.【注釋】flaw[fl?:]

在當(dāng)今社會(huì)，相當(dāng)多的人把金錢作為終身追求的目標(biāo)，因?yàn)樗麄兿嘈沤疱X是通向幸福之路。真的是這樣嗎有錢真的能使鬼推磨嗎

我并不認(rèn)同這種觀點(diǎn)。當(dāng)然我們的生活離不開錢，因?yàn)樗橇魍ㄖ械呢泿?，用它我們可以?gòu)買日常所需的東西。但是，金錢并不意味著世上的一切東西，特別是幸福。讓人幸福的因素是不可預(yù)測(cè)的，那些花錢如流水的人并不一定過(guò)著幸福的生活，而那些物質(zhì)匱乏的人可能比富人過(guò)得更快樂(lè)。人們?cè)f(shuō)，金錢是罪惡之源，從某種程度上說(shuō)，這是正確的。由于貪婪，人們情愿不惜一切代價(jià)去偷、去搶、去謀殺，甚至侵略其他國(guó)家，有時(shí)金錢可以讓人瘋狂，甚至毀掉他們。在那種情況下，我們?cè)跄苷f(shuō)金錢是通向幸福之路呢？FriendshipFriendshipisoneofthegreatestpleasuresthatpeoplecanenjoy.Everyoneneedsfriends.Realfriendsarethosewhocansharealloursorrowsanddoubleallourjoys.Whenintrouble,weneedfriendstoofferusencouragementandhelp.Withsuccessachieved,wealsoneedfriendstoshareourjoys.It’shardtoimaginewhatlifewouldbelikewithoutfriendship.Knowinghowvaluablefriendshipis,weshouldbeverycarefulinmakingfriends.Agoodfriendishelpfultouswhileabadfriendwouldbeharmful.Timetriesall.Along-termcontractwithsomeonewilltellyouwhoisaloyalfriendandwhoisnot.Afriendinneedisafriendindeed.【注釋】contract['k?ntr?kt]n.合同；協(xié)議；契約（這里along-termcontract指長(zhǎng)期的交往）【譯文】友誼友誼是人們可以享受到的最大樂(lè)趣之一。每個(gè)人都需要朋友。真正的朋友可以分擔(dān)你所有的憂愁，增加你的快樂(lè)。當(dāng)我們身陷困境的時(shí)候，我們需要朋友的鼓勵(lì)和幫助；成功的時(shí)候，我們也需要朋友分享我們的快樂(lè)。很難想象，如果生活缺少友誼會(huì)是什么樣的。知道友誼的珍貴，我們就應(yīng)該謹(jǐn)慎交友。益友對(duì)我們幫助很多，而損友則有害無(wú)益。日久見人心。長(zhǎng)期的交往會(huì)告訴你誰(shuí)是忠誠(chéng)的朋友而誰(shuí)不是?；茧y之交才是真正的朋友。KeyFactorstoSuccessNodoubt,everyonewishestobesuccessfulinlife.Butmostsuccessdependsonthreefactors:diligence,devotion,andperseverance.Thefirstkeyfactorisdiligence.Diligencecanhelpusremoveignoranceandovercomedifficulties.Itcanmakeafoolwise,andapoormanrich.Ifweidleawayourtimenow,ourfuturelifewillbeafailure.Ifwearediligentnow,wewillsurelybesuccessfulinthefuture.Devotion,whichmeanstheconcentrationofourmindandeffortindoingthings,isanotherkeyfactortosuccess.Whateverjobwearedoing,wemustloveitanddoitheartandsoul.Onlywhenwesetourmindsonthejob,canwedoitwell.Furthermore,perseveranceisalsonecessaryforanysuccess.Ifwestudyorworkdayafterday,thereisnothingcannotbeachieved.Withoutastrongwill,ontheotherhand,wearelikelytogiveupwhenwemeetsomedifficulties.Toconclude,allgreatmanachievesuccessthroughdiligence,devotionandperseverance.JustasthefamousEnglishsayinggoes,“Nopain,nogain.”【注釋】diligencen.努力，勤奮；devotionn.熱愛，投入；perseverancen.毅力；堅(jiān)持不懈；idleaway浪費(fèi)光陰，虛度時(shí)間【譯文】成功的關(guān)鍵要素毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，每個(gè)人都想在生活中有所成就。但大多數(shù)的成功都取決于三個(gè)關(guān)鍵要素：勤奮、投入和持之以恒。第一個(gè)關(guān)鍵要素是勤奮。勤奮可以幫助我們擺脫無(wú)知，克服困難。勤奮可以使愚昧的人變得聰明，使貧窮的人變得富裕。如果我們現(xiàn)在虛度光陰，未來(lái)的人生就會(huì)失?。蝗绻覀儸F(xiàn)在勤奮，將來(lái)一定會(huì)非常成功。投入是成功的另一個(gè)關(guān)鍵要素，它意味著集中精力努力做事。我們應(yīng)該熱愛我們所做的任何工作，并全心全意做到最好。只有全身心地投入，才能把工作做好。此外，持之以恒對(duì)任何成功而言都是必不可少的。如果我們每天都堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)或工作，沒有什么是不可能的。另一方面，沒有堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志，我們遇到困難時(shí)極易放棄。一句話，所有的偉人都是通過(guò)勤奮、投入和持之以恒而獲得成功的。正如那句有名的諺語(yǔ)所說(shuō)：“不勞不獲”。WaysofCommunicationWhenyouspeak,writealetter,ormakeatelephonecall,yourwordscarryamessage.Peoplecommunicatewithwords.Butdoyouhowpeoplealsocommunicatewithoutwords
