The day started out rotten. She overslept and was late for work. Everything that happened at the office contributed to her nervous frenzy. By the time she reached the bus stop for her homeward trip, her stomach was one big knot.
As usual, the bus was late – and jammed. She had to stand in the aisle. As the lurching vehicle pulled her in all directions, her gloom deepened.
Then she heard a voice from up front boom, "Beautiful day, isn『t it?" Because of the crowd, she could not see the man, but she heard him as he continued to comment on the spring scenery, calling attention to each approaching landmark. This church. That park. This cemetery. That firehouse. Soon all the passengers were gazing out the windows. The man『s enthusiasm was so contagious she found herself smiling for the first time that day.
They reached her stop. Maneuvering toward the door, she got a look at their "guide": an older gentleman with a beard, wearing dark glasses and carrying a thin, white cane.

譯文：如果不向太陽索取微笑,溫暖仍在太陽那裡,但我們會笑得更加自信從容；如果轉過身去發現了自己的影子,適當的躲讓,陽光便可穿越心靈,溫暖每一處身後的角落；如果攤開的掌心不能點落蝴蝶,那就緊握成拳揮動臂膀,給予力量；如果我不能夠微笑得燦爛,那就將臉投向燦爛的陽光,與陽光一起微笑,爛漫。
2、When you love who you are,you become a conit of light.Just drop into your heart space,and live life from this view.For all of this doingis not who you are.Listen to your heart』s soft whisper,this voice will show you the way.Live life from your essenceis what she will say.See the light in yourself,and your world will be bright.There is no need to worry,you are exactly as you should be;remember to love who you are,and love you will see.

4、So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.
譯文：想像一下你就是這個木匠，想像你正在建造這座房子，你每天釘進一顆釘子、安裝一塊板子或者築起一面牆。請用心對待吧，這是唯一一個你為自己打造的生活。即使你只在裡面住上一天，這一天也要活得有光彩、有尊嚴。正如格言所說，「生活是一個只有靠自己才能完成的項目。」

譯文：歲月就象一條河,左岸是無法忘卻的回憶,右岸是值得把握的青春年華,中間飛快流淌的,是年輕隱隱的傷感.世間有許多美好的東西,但真正屬於自己的卻並不多.看庭前花開花落,榮辱不驚,望天上雲卷雲舒,去留無意.在這個紛繞的世界裡,能夠學會用一顆平常的心去對待周圍的一切,也是一種境界!
6、People always confuse about the meaning of happiness, they don』t know how to define it. Some people think that when one has the successful career or does something that makes contribution to the society is the happiness. It is common that great acts are admired by the public and people are easy to feel the happiness. While in my opinion, happiness is very easy to achieve. When I stay with my family, we have the nice talk and I feel very happy. When I eat the delicious food that is cooked by my mother, I feel moved and happy. Happiness is around everywhere, we can feel it if we treat it right.
譯文：人們總是混淆幸福的含義，他們不知道如何定義幸福。有些人認為，當一個人有了成功的事業或做了對社會有所貢獻的事情時，那就是幸福。人們很欣賞偉大的行為，人們很容易感到幸福。在我看來，幸福是很容易實現的。當我和家人在一起時，我們的談話很愉快，我感到非常高興。當我吃媽媽做的美味的食物時，我感到很開心。幸福無處不在，只要我們善待它，我們就能感受到幸福。
7、When I am making mistakes, my parents will never be angry with me. I am so thankful to them for they are so tolerant with me. I learn many things from my parents, they show me how to be a tolerant person. They will not blame me for the small mistake that I make, instead, they will ecate me in the gentle way. Unlike some parents who are strict to their kids, they will be very angry and said the hurting words, making the children feel sad. Being tolerant to other people』s mistakes is the best way to solve the problem. People will appreciate the kind act and make things goes on the easy way.
譯文：當我犯錯誤的時候，我的父母永遠不會生我的氣。我非常感謝他們，因為他們對我很寬容。我從父母那裡學到很多東西，他們教我如何成為一個寬容的人。他們不會因為我犯的一個小錯誤而責備我，相反，他們會以溫和的方式教育我。不像一些對孩子要求嚴格的父母，他們會很生氣，說那些傷人的話，讓孩子們感到悲傷。寬容別人的錯誤是解決問題的最好辦法。人們會欣賞這種善舉，讓事情變得簡單。
8、Sometimes you dream to be a kind of happiness, sometimes the dream is also a kind of happiness; sometimes is a kind of happiness, sometimes the loss is also a kind of happiness;sometimes success is a kind of happiness, sometimes failure is also a kind of happiness. Sometimes the rich is a kind of happiness, sometimes poverty is also a kind of happiness. "Not happy" today, now can not be "happy", while it may be tomorrow or later become "happiness"!
譯文：有時你的夢想達到是一種幸福,有時夢想破滅也是一種幸福；有時得到是一種幸福,有時失去也是一種幸福；有時成功是一種幸福,有時失敗也是一種幸福.有時富有是一種幸福,有時貧窮也是一種幸福.「不幸福」今天或者現在不能成為「幸福」,而明天或者以後卻可能變成「幸福」!

7. 英語經典美文片段
Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident,it radiates from you like sunlight,and attracts success to you like a magnet.
It's important to believe in yourself.Believe that you can do it under any circumstances,because if you believe you can,then you really will.The belief keeps you searching for answers,which means that pretty soon you will get them.
Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from acting with integrity and confidence.It comes from a strong sense of purpose.It comes from a strong commitment to take responsibility,rather than just letting life happen.
One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get a record of successful experiences behind you.
Confidence is compassionate and understanding.It is not arrogant. Arrogance is born out of fear and insecurity,while confidence comes from strength and integrity.Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do it.Know that you are capable of accomplish anything you want,and live your life with confidence.
Anything can be achieved through focused,determined effort and self-confidence.If your life is not what you want it to be,you have the power to change it,and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live your priorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment with your priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose,and you will have the life you want.
信心成就一切，當你真正自信時，它就像燦爛的陽光一樣從你身上散發出來，就像磁鐵一樣將成功吸引到你身上。
相信自己非常重要。要相信自己無論在任何情況下都會成功。因為如果你相信你能做到，那麼你就真的會做到。這種信念促使你不斷的去尋找答案，而不斷的探索就意味著你很快就會找到答案。
信心不只是一種態度，它來源於你確切地知道自己要去干什麼並且確切地知道怎麼去干。它來源於正直和自信地去行動。它來源於強烈的目標感。它來源於強烈地勇於承擔責任的許諾，而不是讓生命放任自流。
培養自信的一種方法是去做你害怕做的事情，並將它做成功。
信心是富有同情心和善解人意的。它一點都不傲慢自大。傲慢是由於害怕和缺乏安全感才產生的，而信心則出於堅強的決心和誠實正直。信心並不是僅僅認為你可能會成功，而是確信你一定能成功。確信你有能力實現自己的願望，並充滿信心的生活著。
如果你足夠專心、堅決和自信，那麼任何事都能做成。如果生活不像你預想的那樣，你有力量去改變它，並且你必須一步一步的去實現這些改變。銘記你生命中最重要的事情。有目標並且有計劃的去生活。為你的目標而奮斗，你就會擁有自己想要的生活。

3.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 st.

10. 關於經典電影英文文章
珍珠港的影評
pearl harbour film review
Pearl Harbor consists of three incongruous acts, mashed together into an ungainly whole. It appears to be more interested in reprocing the success of Titanic, which also set a fictional love story amidst a tragic historical event, than it is in telling the story of the men and women who fought and died in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Titanic worked because the central characters were interesting, the story was cohesive, the historical events were handled respectfully and with the proper dramatic tone, and underneath it all was an intelligent reflection on the human failings that permitted such a tragedy in the first place.
Pearl Harbor reces the historical backdrop into a series of action set pieces. Instead of exploring ideas inherent in the events, it extracts them, recing the reason for Japan's attack to something inexplicable at best, and having utterly nothing to say about why the attack happened, how it was carried out, or how we responded. The film is dedicated to the men who died at Pearl Harbor, but what does it dedicate to them? It does not seem very interested in them except as a tool for dramatic imagery. Consider, for example, a scene in which we learn that men are trapped in a sunken ship in the harbor. We learn this to emphasize the brutality of the attack, as if such emphasis were needed. Then the film forgets this point entirely, providing the fates of those men in a narrated line just before the closing credits. Why wasn't the third act of the film about those men, instead of a rushed covering of the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, complete with overblown crash landings and an improbable engagement with Japanese soldiers?
If you want to see a real movie about Pearl Harbor or the Doolittle Raid, one that paints a deep and accurate picture of what it was like, one you can learn from, one that pays tribute to our veterans, or even just one that functions as convincing entertainment, there is no shortage of options. Tora! Tora! Tora! chronicles the events before, ring, and after the attack from both the American and Japanese sides. Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo is as thorough a chronicle of the Doolittle Raid as is probably possible in a feature film, while also following the personal stories of a few indivials involved (any one of which is more interesting than the personal story in Pearl Harbor). The Purple Heart, one of the most heartbreaking movies I've ever seen, tells the story of Americans captured by the Japanese after the raid.
Writing off the historical aspects of the film, I am left with the love triangle that makes up the entire first act and pervades the rest of it. It is wholly uninteresting. This same story has been told better, countless times before. Not one of the three characters is fleshed out into an indivial: they are bland stereotypes, dolled up to look pretty and given trite lines that they recite to convey the illusion of genuine emotion. It's telling that it doesn't much matter to us how the love triangle is resolved. Unless they both die, she'll get one of them, and who cares which? Neither of the men are personable, and we surely suspect early on that her decision will be based more on fate than her own volition anyway. (In plots like this, it's survival of the survivors.) And so, alas, we are denied even the most basic of all elements of storytelling, namely, characters making actual decisions
