Things My 25-Year-Old Self Would Like to Tell Me on My 50th Birthday**
25岁的我写给50岁的我
Don't try so hard to be respectable. Speak from your heart about what you truly believe, even if it makes you look naïve or sentimental.
不要太用力去得到社会的认可。倾听你内心真正相信的东西，即使这会让你看起来天真或伤感。
You can radically change your life when/if you need to. You don't need to keep doing what you have been doing, just because you are in the habit of doing it.
你可以彻底改变你的生活，只要你想去改变。你不需要因为习惯了做一件事，就继续做下去。
Being friendly and open to meeting new people in random places can lead to cool adventures and friendships. Don't get too comfortable in your present circles of acquaintances.
对在任何地方遇到的陌生人都抱着开放和友好的态度，可能会给你带来炫酷的经历和友情。别太陷在你现在的熟人圈子里。
You need way less money than you think to survive, stop obsessing about it, and just spend less.
生活必需的钱比你想象得要少得多，不要迷恋钱，少花就是。
It's OK not to know what you want to do for the rest of your life. Leave space for the completely unexpected to happen.
你不知道自己余生想做什么也OK，刚好为完全未知的事情留出空间。
God loves you even more because you are a bit of a freak. Don't hide your light under a button-down bushel.
如果你有一点疯狂，上帝会更爱你的。千万不要掩藏你的才华。
Leave your door without any purpose once in a while and see where the city takes you. Don't just stay on the path between your apartment, work and the gym.
偶尔毫无目的地出去走走，看看你生活的城市能带你去哪儿。不要固定在家、公司、健身房三点之间。
Hang out with your long-time friends more and contact those with whom you have lost touch. You don't seem to have as many friends as you used to.
多多与多年老友碰面，重新找到失去联系的朋友。因为你会发现自己没原来那么多朋友了。
Ambition is overrated. Stop trying so hard to be "successful."
抱负被抬得过高。不要费劲全力只为了所谓的“成功”。
It's a good thing to believe that a utopian society where everyone is treated with dignity and equality is possible and worth working for. Cynicism doesn't make you intelligent -- it just makes you cynical.
相信人人平等、有尊严的乌托邦社会可以实现，并愿为实现这一目标而努力是好事。但愤世嫉俗不会让你变聪明，只会让你变得愤世嫉俗。
Create art every once in a while. Even though you aren't particularly talented and nobody really loved your 'nude portrait under autumn leaves' the creative process is good for your soul.
偶尔搞搞艺术。就算你没有特别的才华，就算没有人欣赏你的“秋天落叶下的裸体自画像”，创造的过程也能美化你的灵魂。
The next time you hear yourself reminiscing about how you "used to do something," make a plan to do it. Studying dance, carving pumpkins for Halloween, and doing improv shouldn't all be thought of in the past tense.
下一次你再回忆起当年“做什么事”的时候，制定一个重新开始的计划吧。学跳舞、刻 万圣节 南瓜、即兴表演都不应该存在于过去式中。
Don't just give money, go volunteer somewhere so you can have direct interactions with people. Your life is too antiseptic and it is making you a bit boring.
不要只是捐钱，去某个地方做志愿者吧，这样你就可以和别人直接互动。你的生活太“防腐”了，你开始觉得有点无聊了吧。
You should be so crazy thankful that you found love with Brad. You spent a lot of time very lonely, never thinking you would find such an amazing guy. Don't let a day go by without remembering how fortunate you are.
找到另一半你绝对应该谢天谢地。你一个人那么久了，哪里会想到你会遇到这么好的人。活着的每一天都要记得你是多么的幸运。
Try a new sport! The routine of cardio and weights just to look decent is getting old. You were an athlete! Get back into swimming and sign up for the race across the East River or take up boxing.
尝试新的运动!有氧运动和举哑铃的惯例已经老套了。你以前可是运动员!重新开始 游泳 ，报名跨河跑步比赛，或是学学 拳击 吧。
When did you become such a preppy bore? You used to not be afraid to stand out and it wouldn't kill you to wear something a bit more fashion-forward once in a while.
你什么时候变得这么保守这么无趣?你曾经不怕引人注目的，你也曾偶尔穿上时髦前卫的衣服。
Your parents were there for you, even when you were going through rough times and, frankly, a bit of a brat. They need you now. You will never regret the time you spend with them.
你的父母过去一直支持你，即使在你经历最难熬的日子的时候，或是你淘气的时候。他们现在需要你。多和他们在一起，你永远不会后悔的。
Find ways to be alone in the woods or on the water by yourself. Don't forget how much you value solitude in nature.

Find a group that has been formed within the last five years and buy a new CD.
找一个5年内成立的乐队，买一张他们的新CD。
Stop beating yourself up about mistakes that you have made. It's good to be self-critical, but you need to be compassionate as well.
别再为犯过的错自责了，自我批评虽好，但你也需要有同情心啊。
If you can be a parent to a child of your own then do it! You've always wanted to have a family. If that doesn't work out, be the best uncle to your nephews and nieces. They make you so proud.
如果你可以做父母，一定要做!你一直都想有个家。如果没做成，那就做侄子侄女的好叔叔好舅舅吧。他们都会让你骄傲的。

英语短篇文章赏析2
“青年菜君”的魔法
Outside of Huilongguan subway station, Beijing, is a small shop called Mr Food that sells vegetables and meat. Many people who live in this most populous residential community stop by Mr Food to pickup groceries ordered online.
在北京，一出回龙观地铁站，就可以看到一家不大的蔬菜生鲜店，名为青年菜君。这个人口众多的社区里，有很多居民都会在此停留，提走他们在网上订好的菜。
Surprisingly, the shop’s founders are three 28-year-old sociology graates from Renmin University of China. Instead of founding a business related to their major, they founded one that addresses a market need.
令人惊讶的是，这家店的创始人是三个28岁的年青人，他们都 毕业 于中国人民大学社会学专业。他们并没有选择与自己专业相关的领域创业，而是依照市场需求起家。
Career shift
职业生涯的转变
Ren Mu, one of Mr Food’s founders, has worked as a public relations specialist at a Beijing-based company before setting up the new business. As a PR consultant, he often rode the subway to and from work. After pulling himself from the crowd at Huilongguan station, he often felt lonely and exhausted, missing the feeling of home-cooked meals prepared by his mother.
青年菜君的创始人之一，任牧，在创业前曾在一家北京公司担任公共关系顾问。那时，他常常坐地铁上下班，每每当他挤出回龙观地铁站时，他总是感到孤单而又筋疲力尽，怀念妈妈在家做饭时的感觉。
“After moving from Shandong to Beijing, the only inconvenience I ever felt was when I was deciding what to have for dinner,” he said. He’d often eat at a small restaurant nearby, but the food often didn’t taste good and was unsanitary. So, he decided to start selling his own ingredients.
他说，“从山东来到北京之后，唯一的不方便就是我会常常发愁吃什么。”他常常在附近的小饭馆解决晚饭，但是那里的饭菜既不可口又不卫生。于是，任牧决定自己卖菜。
Researching success
好调查是成功的一半
He came up with the idea for this new startup after a lot of trial and error. “I made several startup attempts, but none of them worked because of a lack of market research,” he said. So when he discussed this business idea with his partners. They made market research their first step.
在形成最终创意之前，任牧也有过很多失败的尝试。他说，“我曾几次尝试创业，但都因为缺乏市场调研而失败了。”所以当他与几位合伙人讨论这次的想法时，他们首先进行了 市场调查 。
For an entire week, Ren went to Xinfadi, Beijing’s biggest wholesale market for meat and vegetables, on a daily basis. “I wrote down the price of dozens of vegetables, while my two partners took note of prices at supermarkets and vegetable vendors,” he said. They compared their findings in order to make sure they put their groceries at the right price point.
整整一个星期，任牧每天都去北京最大蔬菜生鲜批发市场——新发地，他说，“我负责记录(新发地)各种蔬菜的价格，而另外两个合伙人则负责记录超市和蔬菜小贩那里的价格。”他们比较各自的价格，最终确定他们商店的蔬菜价格。
“The profit margin when selling vegetables is about 100 percent. Make it simple, if a vegetable is sold at 1 yuan per 500 g at Xinfadi, then it can be sold at 2 yuan per 500 g in the supermarket, and 3 to 4 yuan at vegetable vendors in residential areas,” he said.
任牧说，“买菜的利润率差不多100%，简单而言，就是如果某样蔬菜在新发地卖1块钱一斤，那么它在超市就可以买到2块钱，在社区蔬菜小贩那里就要卖3到4块钱。”
Targeted service
针对性服务
However, Ren and his partners faced another challenge — how they could compete with other vegetable vendors. They took aim at office workers, who want to eat healthy food yet have little time to actually cook.
但是，任牧与他的合伙人还要面对另一个挑战：如何胜过其他蔬菜商?他们将目标锁定在白领身上，这些人希望吃得健康却没有时间下厨。
“We do all the preparation for them, cutting vegetables and meat to ready-to-cook form,” Ren said. “If they don’t know how to cook and what to put in the dish, we even have packed vegetables and meat for certain dishes.”
任牧说，“于是，我们就为他们做好所有的准备，包括切菜切肉，让食材能立刻下锅。如果他们不会做饭，不知道某道菜要放些什么，我们甚至会根据特定的菜肴为他打包蔬菜和肉。”
Now with a concrete business idea and solid market research under their belt, Ren and his partners opened their first store in March and second chain store in April. In total, they have attracted thousands of frequent customers and over 10 million yuan from angel investors.
在扎实的市场调研并形成具体的创业方案之后，今年3月，他们的第一家店开业，4月，他们的第二家连锁店也开业了。他们不仅吸引了成千上万的老顾客，而且还获得了天使投资1000万的投资。
英语短篇文章赏析3
Life Comes in a Package
人生似旅行
Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow,failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
人生好似一个包裹，这个包裹里藏着快乐与悲伤、成功与失败，希望与绝望。人生也是一个学习的过程。那些经历给我们上了全新的课，让我们变得更好。随着每一天的过去，我们学会了处理各种各样的问题。
Love. Love plays a pivotal role on out life. Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right andwrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings.Kids make a person responsibleand mature and help us to understand life better.
爱。爱在生活之外扮演了一个关键的角色。爱使你想要得到些什么。没有爱，一个人将走向不归路，变得凶暴、残忍。在我们最初的人生道路上，我们的父母给予了我们无条件的关爱，他们教会我们判断正确与错误、好与坏。然而我们常常把这想当然了，只有等到我们结了婚并且有了孩子之后，一个人才会懂得并注意别人的感受。孩子让我们变得富有责任心、变得成熟稳重，并且更好的理解人生。
Happiness and Sorrow. Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically e to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
快乐与悲伤。物质上的快乐往往是短暂的，然而，当你给予他人一个微笑的时候，那种满足却是无与伦比的。心灵的平静往往是快乐的源泉。没有平和的心态就没有快乐的心情。在伤心的时候，我们往往能够体会到快乐的真谛。悲伤基本都来自于一个爱人的去世、失败还有绝望，但是这样的事情都是暂时的，总会过去的。
Failure and Success. Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money,fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to god for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
失败与成功。失败是成功之母。它让我们触及蓝天，它教会我们如何生存，它给予我们一条特殊的路。成功给予我们金钱、名誉、骄傲和自尊。这里，保持头脑清醒便显得尤为重要。唯一能让我们感激上帝给予的成功便是始终卑微、谦虚、礼貌并且尊重没有我们幸运的人们。
Hope and Despair. Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
希望与绝望。希望是人生动力之源。父母总是希望自己的孩子能够做得很好。希望使我们有梦想。希望使我们变得有耐心。人生教会我们即使是在最困难的时候都不要绝望，因为黑暗之后终将是黎明。没有什么事是一成不变的，我们惟有充满希望地继续生活。
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or ll. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
人生教会我们不要对过去的事感到后悔，因为过去的终究是过去了并且我们已无法控制。没人知道明天会是怎样，因为它可以是光明的同样也可以是无趣的。所以，唯一的选择便是在今天努力工作，这样才能让我们去享受更美好的明天。
㈦ 有什么英语短篇小说推荐
1. “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” Flannery O’Connor
Few short stories have stuck with us as much as this one, which is probably O'Connor's most famous work — and with good reason. The Misfit is one of the most alarming serial killers we've ever met, all the more so for his politeness, and the story’s moral is so striking and terrifying that — whether you subscribe to the religious undertones or not — a reader is likely to finish and begin to reexamine their entire existence. Or at least we did, the first time we read it.
《好人难寻》这篇小说是奥康纳最为著名的作品，很少有其他短篇小说能像这篇一样给我们带来震撼。无论你是否能明了宗教般的潜在含义，看完这篇小说读者都会开始或是结束对存在的检视。
2. “The School,” Donald Barthelme
This story is very short, but pretty much perfect in every way. Though Barthelme is known for his playful, post modern style, we admire him for his ability to shape a world so clearly from so few words, chosen expertly. Barthelme never over explains, never uses one syllable too many, but effortlessly leads the reader right where he wants her to be. It's funny, it's absurdist, it's sad, it's enormous even in its smallness. It may be this writer’s favorite story of all time. You should read it.
这篇小说很短，但是堪称完美。巴塞尔姆的优秀就在于他能用精选的极少几个文字就为我们叙述了一个世界。他很少过多地解释，就把读者带到了他想要你去地方。
3. “In The Penal Colony,” Franz Kafka
Kafka called this one his“dirty story,”and thought it imperfect, but it's one of our favorites of his (though we also recommend “The Hunger Artist”and“A Country Doctor”). It's so obviously a story about writing, in some ultimate way — a machine punishes its victims by writing on them over and over until their bodies give out — but its as if, while the body is the source of every problem in the tale, every weakness, it is also the only place where true knowledge can be translated.
卡夫卡称自己的这篇小说是一个“很脏的故事”，认为并不完美，但是这个短篇确实我们的最爱之一。在小说中，我们可以体会到，身体是一切问题和弱点的根源，但身体也是唯一能转化真知的地方。
4. “Signs and Symbols,”Vladimir Nabokov
Another short one, we revere this story for its ability to turn every tiny detail into a portentous disaster, not to mention the fact that it's penned in Nabokov's effortlessly gorgeous, silvery prose. An old Jewish couple goes to visit their son in the mental hospital, only to be turned away because he has attempted to kill himself. And that's it, really. They go home and look though a photo album, eat some jam. The phonerings. But the whole thing is, perhaps, both a comment on the nature of insanity and the nature of the short story itself, with all its rules and strangeness and banality. And all its symbols, of course.
我们喜欢这篇小说的原因就在于，这个故事有能力把每个细微的细节瞬间变为一场灾难，而Nabokov在写这篇小说用的是轻松华丽水银泻地般的散文风格。
5. “Gooseberries,” Anton Chekhov
Chekhov's stories are indisputably among the greats, and this one, written rather late, is one of our favorites. Chekhov probes at both the frailty and the worth of humanity, not to mention the natureof life, both for the fortunate and the unfortunate. But like most of Chekhov's stories, there's no clear moral, there's no obvious takeaway. Some men sit around and discuss their thoughts, and we listen, mulling over the subtleties for ourselves.
契科夫的小说无疑是最伟大的作品之一，而这篇是我们的最爱。这篇小说像他的其他小说一样，没有清晰的道德标准，我们只是静静地看着几个人围坐着，讨论他们的思想。
6. “Sea Oak,” George Saunders
“Sea Oak” is Saunders's favorite of his own stories, we've heard, so because we find it so hard to choose among them, we've included it here on his own recommendation. Absurdist and satirical, and including at least one zombie shouting at her housemates to get laid, it's a weird one. But it's also concerned with placelessness, with family, with poverty, and like all of Saunders's stories, has a good, thumping heart under all that darkness and fun-poking.
这部小说是桑德斯最为喜爱的一步短篇，这也是我们听说的。因为我们很难做出选择，因此就把他自己的推介放在了这里。这部小说充满了荒诞和讽刺，但是也关心家庭和贫穷等问题。像他的其他小说一样，在黑暗和取笑中，也暗含着美好和快乐。
7. “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” Ursula K. LeGuin
LeGuin's parabolic tale, which won the Hugo Award for best short story in 1974, is a weird, spacious story about a city that seems to be a utopia — except for its one flaw, the single child that must always be kept in darkness and wretched misery so that the others may all live happily. Most of the citizens eventually accept this, but some do not, and silently leave the city, vanishing into the world around. Strange but pointed, Le Guin is a master of her genre.
勒古这部寓言般的短篇小说获得过1974年的“雨果奖”，是关于一个类似乌托邦的城市的荒诞又宏大的故事。
8. “The Veldt,” Ray Bradbury
This tale, from one of the greatest science fiction writers in history, is deliciously wicked. Though it was written in 1950, this kind of story — of children driven mad by want, of technology turning on its masters — will never get old. Until technology actually turns on us, that is. Then we probably won't want to hear about it.
布莱伯利作为历史上最富盛名的科幻小说家，这篇小说也是通过精心编写的。
9. “The Bear Came Over the Mountain,” Alice Munro
The undisputed queen of the short story, Alice Munro’s work is stark and often heartbreakingly raw, and this story of memory loss and the aching tenderness of human interaction is no different. Fun fact: this story was adapted into the film “Away from Her”, starring Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent.
门罗是毫无争议的短篇小说女王，她的作品有一种朴实风格，常常带着心跳般的粗犷，这篇关于丧失记忆以及人类互动中的痛苦和柔弱的小说也不例外。
10. “The Nose,” Nikolai Gogol
Gogol might be the oldest writer on this list, but he’s also one of the weirdest — in a good way. Nabokov once wrote, “In Gogol…the absurd central character belongs to the absurd world around him but, pathetically and tragically, attempts to struggle out of it into the world of humans — and dies in despair.” What else can an absurd noseless man do, after all?
果戈里应该是这个书单上最久远的作家了，但是他也是最荒诞的小说家之一。纳博科夫曾近这样写道：“在果戈里的作品中，荒诞的人物属于他周围荒诞的世界，但是却可怜兮兮且悲惨地要逃离他的世界，最终死于绝望”。
