雙語美文閱讀     Kick off 2014 with Smiles 用微笑敲響2014

Once in a while, you will need to encounter sentences that make you smile as you will need more inspiration and motivation to go on with your life. Which sentences do you think will make you smile the most?
總有那么一段時日，我們需要一些激勵人心的話來獲得動力，讓自己微笑著繼續(xù)生活。那么哪些句子能讓我們笑對生活呢？

Here are ten of them:
在這里：

1.Yes, today, everything is going to be great!
1.是的，今天，一切都會很好！

Your thoughts can heavily influence your actions and also your mood for the day. Choose to read sentences that make you smile. Be grateful for another day that you’re alive. Choose to spend your life with optimistic thoughts and refreshing beliefs, and get rid of any thought that says otherwise. Indeed, every day can be a great day if you want it to be.
我們的想法在很大程度上會左右我們的言行，甚至是一天的心情。閱讀一些讓人開懷的句子。感謝曾活過的每一天。帶著積極地心態(tài)和信仰生活，摒棄與之相反的思想。事實上，只要一心希望自己會生活得很好，它就會真的很不錯。

2.You are here in this world to make a positive difference.
2.你的存在會對這個世界產生積極的影響。

You were given a gift—a talent or a skill—that you can use to help empower yourself and eventually empower others. Make the most out of it by touching lives and influencing people to change for the better.
我們天生就有一種能力–可以鼓勵自己，也可以鼓勵他人。多多接觸他人，盡可能的影響他人，使他們的生活變得更好。

3.You have the power to spend your life with people who truly matter to you.
3.你有權利和那些對你真誠的人共度一生。

You don’t have to spend the rest of your life with people who don’t treasure you! Yes, you can quit your job if you’re working in a toxic environment. Yes, you can close your business if your business partner is a cheater. Yes, you can get out of your romantic relationship if your lover doesn’t accept you for who you are. You have the power to do so, remember?
不必與那些并不真心待你的人浪費自己的生命。當然，如果你的工作環(huán)境很糟，你也大可辭掉那份工作。同樣，如果你工作伙伴是個小人，你也大可結束你們之間的工作關系。此外，如果你所愛的人不能接受你這樣一個人，你也大可結束你們之間的感情。你有權利那么做，記住了嗎？

4.It doesn’t matter how many times you fail; what matters is how many times you stand up and try again.
4.失敗多少次都不重要，關鍵是要在失敗后站起來，再試一次。

Don’t be discouraged by your failures! Learn from the successful people and use failures as life’s way of teaching us valuable lessons. Want to know a secret? Successful people fail a lot more than unsuccessful ones.
失敗后不要灰心！與成功人士交流經驗，把失敗當做生活教會我們積累經驗的有用方式。想知道一個秘密嗎？那就是成功的人失敗的次數往往比那些不成功的人失敗的次數更多。

5.The best is yet to come.
5.最好的只是還沒來。

Your potential can be limitless. Don’t settle for mediocrity: you’re definitely better than this. The potential to improve your life, the chance to lose weight or the opportunity to be a millionaire—all these exist. You just have to look for them.
你潛力無限。不要認為自己很平庸，很顯然你不止這樣。你有改善自己生活條件的能力，你可以減肥成功，你也有機會成為百萬富翁—所有的這些都是有可能的。你只是還沒找到這樣的一些機遇而已。

6.Life is too precious to waste time hating anyone.
6.生命太珍貴，把時間用來憎恨某人很不值得。

Hating someone is like drinking poison, don’t you think? You’re filling yourself up with something that stresses you and makes you upset while you’re still waiting for that person to suffer. Don’t drink poison.
憎恨就如飲毒藥，不是嗎？如果你一直在期盼某人會遭受天譴，你總會被那些事弄的煩躁不安。不要再飲毒藥。

7.Get busy living, or get busy dying.
7.忙著生活，或是忙著死去。

Living means that you wake up each day excited and passionate about the things that you’re about to do. You love your work and you get paid to do it. You love the people you’re with, and you love the life that you have. You can only start living if you stop being a mindless zombie and stop getting stuck in the same routine every day. You’re supposed to take control of your life, not to just simply watch it pass you by.
活著的意思是每天早上開心的醒來，滿懷激情的做著那些你計劃要做的事情。做你喜歡的工作。和你深愛的那些人一起生活，喜歡已有的生活。不要像愚蠢的僵尸那樣醒來，每天不要再為了重復相同的事件而忙碌。好好把握自己的生活，不要再眼睜睜的看著它從指縫間流過。

8.Indulging in chocolate every once in a while is always a good idea.
8.隔段時間戀上吃巧克力也是不錯。

Whenever life decides to bring you down or you feel like giving up because nothing seems to be going you way, make yourself a hot cup of cocoa and rest for a while. Tomorrow’s another day. You always have another chance to make things right again.
即使每件事情都跟預期的不一樣，無論生活是多么的讓人疲憊，是多么的想要放棄，給自己沖杯熱咖啡，休息一下。明天又是新的一天。你還有機會把這些事情做好。

9.Time heals almost everything, so give time some time to work.
9.時間會抹平很多事，有些事情就留給時間去解決吧。

Past arguments, physical wounds, broken hearts, personal differences—all of these can be healed in time. Don’t be in such a rush, and don’t force things to heal immediately. You just need to wait for the right time for all the pain to be forgotten and for all the scars to fade away.
過去的爭端，身體上的傷痛，破碎的心，人員之間的差異–所有的這些都會消逝在時間的長河中。不要倉促行事，不要急著就將所有事情處理好。有時只需一定的時間去遺忘所有的傷痛，所有的傷疤也會消失不見。

10.You can get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful in your life.
10.你可以摒棄生活中那些并不怎么有用的，并不怎么美好的，并不怎么令人開心的事物。

Yes, go ahead and live your life on your terms. Spend time with things that empower you and don’t waste time with the things that don’t.
是的，生活要往前看，活在你喜歡的生活中。在那些能給你帶來正能量的人或事上多花時間，不要將生命浪費在那些與之相反的事物上。
