第三篇：哈佛公开课 幸福 第一课 中英文对照字幕整理

Hi, good morning. It’s wonderful to be back here. 各位，早上好。很高兴能回到这里。 Wonderful to see you here.高兴见到你们。

I am teaching this class because I wish a class like this had been taught when I was sitting in your seat as an undergraduate here.我教授这门课是因为在我读本科阶段时非常希望能学习这样一门课程。

This does not mean it is a class you wish to be taught nor does it mean that it is the right class for you.可能这门课并不是你希望的那样也可能并不适合你。

But I hope to doing the next couple of lectures is giving you an idea what this class is about so that you can decide whether or not it is for you.但希望几堂课后，你能有个大概印象让你决定这门课程是否适合你。

I came here in 1992 and studied the computer science and concentrator.我1992年来到哈佛求学，一开始主修计算机科学。

And when I had I mini epiphany half way through my sophomore year.大二期间，突然顿悟了。

I realized that I was in a wonderful place with wonderful students around me, wonderful teachers.我意识到我身处让人神往大学校园周围都是出色的同学，优秀的导师。 I was doing well academically. I was doing well in athletics. I was playing squash at that time. I was doing well socially.我成绩优异。擅长体育运动。那时壁垒打的不错。社交也游刃有余。

Everything was going well except for the fact that I was unhappy. And I didn’t understand why.一切都很顺利除了一点我不快乐。 而且我不明白为什么。

It was then in a matter of moments that I decided that I had to find out why and become happier.也就是在那时我决定要找出原因变得快乐。

And that was when I switched my concentration from computer science to philosophy and psychology.于是我将研究方向从计算机科学转向了哲学及心理学。

With a single question: How can I become happier.目标只有一个:怎么让自己开心起来。 Overtime I did become happier what contributed most to my happiness was when I encountered a new emerging field that time didn’t have the name that it has today.渐渐的，我的确变得更快乐了主要是因为我接触了一个新的领域，那时并未正式命名。 But essentially research that falls under or within the field of positive psychology.但本质上属于积极心理学范畴。 Positive psychology, studying it and applying the ideas to my life has made me significantly happier .研究积极心理学把其理念应用到生活中让我无比快乐。 It continues to make me happier.而且这种快乐继续着。

And it was when I realized the impact that it had on me that I decided to share it with others.于是我决定将其与更多的人分享。

That’s when I decided that I wanted to be a teacher and teach in this field.选择教授这门学科。

So this is positive psychology, psychology 1504.这就是积极心理学，1504号心理学课程。 And we’ll be exploring this new, relatively new and fascinating field.我们将一起探索这一全新相对新兴令人倾倒的领域。

And hopefully, we will be exploring more than the field ourselves.希望同时还能探索我们自己。

When I first taught this class that was back in 2002.我第一次开设这门课程是在2002年。 I taught it at a seminar and had eight students. Two dropped out that left me with six. The year after, the class became slightly larger. I had over three hundred students.是以讨论会的形式，只有8名学生。 两名退出了只剩我和其他六个人。一年后学生稍微多了点。 有300多人参加。

And then third year when I taught it which was the last time.到了第三年，也就是上一次开课。

I had 850 students in the class, making it at that point the largest course at Harvard .有850名参加是当时哈佛大学人数最多的课程。

And that’s when the media became interested. Because they wanted to understand why.这引起了媒体的注意。因为他们想知道为什么。

They wanted to understand this phenomenon that here you have a class that’s larger than Introduction to Economics. How could that be?他们对这一奇特现象非常好奇竟然有比经济学导论更热门的课程。怎么可能呢?

So I was invited by the media for interviews whether it was newspapers, radio, television. 于是我被请去参加各类媒体采访，报纸，广播，电视。

And I started to notice a pattern during those interviews. 在这些采访中，我发现了一种有趣的模式。 So I would walk into the interview. We would have the interview.我前去参加采访。进行采访。

And afterwards, the producer or the interviewer would walk me out. And say something to the effects of well, thank you Tal for the interview.结束后，制片人或主持人会送我出来。 说些诸如Tal多谢你抽空参加采访。

But you know I expected you to be different. 不过你跟我想象的不太一样的话。 And I would ask, as nonchalant as I could of course. 我漫不经心的问。

I didn’t really care but had to ask anyway “How different”. 我无所谓，不过总得回应“有何不同?”

And they would say: Well, you know, we expected you to be more outgoing”. 他们会说“这个嘛，我们会以为你很外向”。

Next interview, the end of the interview, same thing: Thank you for doing the interview”. 下一次采访结束时仍是如此“多谢接受采访”。

“But you know Tal, I expected you to be different”. 不过Tal，你跟我想象得不太一样。 And once again, nonchalant of course so how different. 又一次，我漫不经心地问有何不同。

And she would say: “Well you know, we expected you to be less, less introversit”. “这个嘛，我们没想到你会这么内向”。

Next interview, same thing “How different?” 下一次采访，仍是如此“有何不同?”。 “Well, you know, more extroverted, more outgoing.” “这个嘛，更开朗，更外向”。 Next interview, “Well, you know, less shy”. 下一次采访，“这个嘛，太害羞了”。 Coz I get very nervous in interviews. 因为采访中我容易紧张。 l Interview after interview, literally dozens. 差不多有几十个采访。

More outgoing, more cheerful, less introverted, more extroverted. And on and on. 每次都是好交际，更开朗，不含蓄，更外向诸如此类。 But here the best one. 最绝的一次。

So this is one of the local channels here around Boston. I was going to the interview.是波士顿一家地方台。我去参加采访。 We had a quite long interview which I thought was actually pretty good. And at the end of the interview.聊了很多，我觉得进行得很不错。 采访结束。

The interviewer is a very jolly guy. He walks me out and puts his hands on my shoulder.主持人是个开朗热情的男生。他送我出门，拍着我的肩说。

And says, ”Thank you very much for doing the interview.” And then the usual comes. “多谢接受我们采访。” 然后又是那句。

“But you know Tal, I expected you to be different.” “不过Tal，你跟我想象不太一样”。 And I said, ”How different”. Just so you understand by this time, my self-esteem is short. 我问，“有何不同”你要知道那时候，我已经完全被打击了。

But still with some resemblance of nonchalance I asked “How different”. 不过我还是漫不经心地问有何不同。

And he looks at me and says: ”Well I don’t know Tal, I expected you to be taller. ”. Taller? What?他看着我说：“我也说不上，Tal，我以为你会更高些”。 更高些?什么? Five seven, well ok five six and a half is not enough to teach happiness? 1米70……是1米69就不够格传授快乐吗?

And I thought about it, I thought about it a lot. The whole pattern from the beginning.我考虑了很久，仔细思量了。整件事从头到尾。

And I think I understand why they expected someone different. 我似乎明白为什么他们期望不同了。

You see they had to explain to themselves as well as the audience. 因为他们要说服自己说服观众。

How come this lecture is larger than the Introduction to Economics? 这门课怎么会比经济学导论更热门?

And the way to explain it must be that the teacher is very outgoing, extremely charismatic, very cheerful and extroverted and of course, tall. 唯一的解释就是导师非常外向、充满领袖气质、乐观开朗，当然了，还很高。

Well, there is one L missing there, But……. Yeah, if only.可惜我的名字少了一个L，但是……。嗯……真可惜。

So the problem though is that they were looking in the wrong place for the explanation. 所以问题是他们找答案找错了地方。 In other words, they were looking at the messenger, what they needed to look at was the message. Now how do I know that?也就是说，他们不该关注信息传达者而应该关注信息本身。我怎么知道的呢? You see because I see other positive psychology classes on other campuses around the country and around the world. 因为我参与过其他大学积极心理学课遍及全国乃至全球。

There are over 200 campuses here in United States that teach positive psychology. 美国有超过200所大学开设了本课程。

And almost every campus where this class is taught it’s either one of the or the largest class. It’s about the message.而且几乎其中所有院校，这门课都是参与人数最多的或者最多的之一。 信息是关键。 I see more and more organizations taking up positive psychology in their as consultant companies. 越来越多的机构组织开设这门课，还有咨询公司。

Some of them the leading big consultant companies are taking it on. 其中一些甚至是全球知名咨询公司。

More and more high schools are introducing positive psychology class.……Elementary schools are introducing it.越来越多的中学开始引入积极心理学……。小学也是。

The governments around the world are expressing interest in this new emerging field. Why? Because it works, because it really works.各国政府都对这一新领域表现出兴趣。 为什么?因为它有效，因为它真正有效。

You see this whole realm of life flourishing on happiness, on well-being has been until recently dominated by the self-health movements. 殷盛人生，快乐，幸福感这一整个领域在此之前一直被心理自助运动统治。

What do we have in the self-health movement? We have books that are very interesting that are very accessible.心理自助运动带来了什么? 生动有趣通俗易懂的书。

We have speakers who are very outgoing very charismatic and tall attracting the masses into these workshops, seminars and lectures. But, there is a very big “but” here.热情外向的宣讲者颇具领袖气质且身材高大吸引大众参与他们的专题讨论讲座。 但是，有一个大大的转折。

Many of these books, many of these workshops and seminars lack substance. Very often, overpromising and under-delivering.其中很多书籍讨论都缺少实质内容。通常都言过其实无法兑现。 So there are five things you need to know to be happy. The three things to be the great leader.比如，快乐的五个关键。成功领袖的三个要素。

The one secret of success, happiness and a perfect love life. Overpromising, under-delivering.成功快乐完美爱情的唯一秘诀。夸大其词，效果甚微。 On the other hand, we have academia. What do we have in the academia? We have a lot of rigor, a lot of substance.再来说说学术界。 学术界给我们带来了什么? 大量精确的实质内容。

We have datas analyzed, reanalyzed and meta-analyzed. Things that actually work, good stuff.数据被一而再再而三得反复分析。行之有效的好方法。

But, there is also a very big but here. Very few people read refereed academic journals.但是又有一个大大的转折。很少有人会阅读专业学术期刊。

I mean think about it: how many people outside this room of course have read the last twelve issues of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology? 想想看，这间教室之外有多少人读过最近12期《个性与社会心理学》杂志?

Most people don’t even know what that means. 大多数人甚至不知道那是什么东西。

The head of my PHD programs actually estimated the average academic journal article is read by seven people.我博士班的主任估算过学术期刊上的一篇论文平均只有7人阅读。

You know……And that includes the author’s mother. So you know I say half in jest but it’s actually really sad.这话……其中还包括作者的母亲。这话虽然是半开玩笑但其实很可悲。

Because… Certainly sad for me, as an academic. Because these things are good.因为……作为学者我觉得很可悲。因为这些论文都非常精彩。

They are important, these things make a difference, can even make more of a difference. But not accessible to most people.非常重要，能大有作为甚至不仅仅是作为。但是对大众来说晦涩难懂。

And this is where positive psychology comes in. And this is also where this class comes in.所以我们需要积极心理学。需要这门课程。

The explicit mandate of positive psychology as well as of this class is to create a bridge between Ivory tower and Main Street. 积极心理学及本课程的宗旨非常明确就是在象牙塔及大众间构建桥梁。 In other words, it is to bring the rigor, the substance, the empirical foundation, the science from academia and merge it with accessibility of the self-help or New Age movement. In a way the best of both worlds.换句话说就是要把严谨、实质、经验基础学术科学与自助或者新纪元运动的通俗易懂相结合。充分发挥两者所长。

And this explains the popularity of the field of positive psychology: Science that works. 这也是积极心理学大受欢迎的原因：有用的科学。

This class will be taught in two levels. The first level it will be taught as any other class in psychology or any of the classes you’ve taken here.本课程将分为两个部分。第一部分会和其他心理学或者其他任何课程一样。 You’ll be introduced here to studies, to research, to rigorous academic work. You’ll be writing paper, academic paper. You’ll be taking exams just like every other class.我将向你们介绍相关知识，调查研究，严谨的学术作品。需要你们撰写报告，学术论文。跟其他课程一样参加考试。

But then it will also be taught at the second level which is for every paper that you’ll read every paper that you’ll write, you’ll always be thinking. 而教学内容的另一部分，你们读每一篇论文，写每一篇论文时都需要思考。

OK, so how can I take these ideas and apply them to my life? How can I apply them to my relationship? How can I apply them to my community? Two levels: The academic, Applied如何把这些理念运用到生活中去?运用到恋爱中去?运用到社交圈里去?就是这两个部分：学术与应用。

I did not just introduce whether it’s in the readings or in the lectures ideas just because they are interesting for the sake of the idea. 无聊是论文还是讲座我不会因为某个理论有趣而去介绍它。

It is always an idea that is both rigorous and can be applied. Just a few words about housekeeping.而是因为这个理论严谨且能被应用。再唠叨几句题外话。

Some of the questions that I have already received from you before the class started. 有几个问题课前就有人问我了。

So this unfortunately is the last time that I am teaching positive psychology or any other class for that matter at Harvard. 不幸的是这学期将是我最后一次在哈佛开设积极心理学或其他课程。

Hopefully within two years, probably not next year but within two years there will be positive psychology class offered but I certainly cannot guarantee it. About feedback and questions.但愿两年内，明年可能性不大，但是两年内学校会再次开设积极心理学课程，但我无法保证。关于反馈与提问。 If you have any questions, anything that’s not clear, if you agree or disagree with something. Email me or Email your TF (Teaching Fellow at Harvard, just like TA at other schools.) and we’ll always respond. 如果你有任何问题或者不明白的地方，如果你同意或者反对什么观点，请给我或助教写邮件，我们一定会回复的。

Sometimes if the question is asked by enough people, we’ll respond to it publicly, always anonymously unless you specified specifically that your name can be mentioned. 如果某个问题问的人数较多，我们会公开回答，当然一定是匿名的除非你特别注明可以提及你的名字。

But sometimes you may be listening to a lecture and then half way through it there is an emergency, there is something that you really have to ask, something that cannot wait. 有时候讲座过程中突然有紧急情况，有什么非问不可的问题，无法等待。

In that case, please just put your hand up because it’s just like when you have to go to the bathroom, just can’t stop, and can’t wait. And when you gotta go, you gotta go. 如果那样的话，请直接举手，因为就跟你要去厕所一样，无法忍耐，无法等待，要去就去。 So we’ll take a positive psychology break for that. And just stop me half way through and I’ll answer any question.我们会为此进行积极心理休息。所以大可以打断我，我会回答任何问题。

All the power points, as well as the videos of the classes will be online; will be available within couple of days. 所有幻灯片以及课程视频都会放在网上，课后几天就能下载。

Well, the power points will be available before say for the lecture it will be before so that you can use them in class. 幻灯片其实课前就能下载，这样你们上课时就能用到。

The videos, unfortunately, cannot be made available before, we tried, could not figure it out. So it will be available within a day or two after. And the reason why they are up there.可惜视频不能提前提供，我们试过了但效果不好。所以会在课后一两天内放到网上。这样做的原因。

First of all, I do prefer that you attend lecture, I do prefer that you are physically here. You get things in the energy of the room with so many students so you wouldn’t just get from your computer.首先，我当然更希望你们出席课程，能出现在课堂上。和大家一起，在课堂的气氛中学习而不仅仅是对着电脑。

The reason why I do put them up is so that you have the opportunity if you want to see it again or if you have to miss a class. That’s perfectly fine. 我之所以把资料放在网上是为了让你们可以重温或者学习错过的课程，这很正常。

And also because and this is also the reason why the power points are always available, I want you to be engaged in the material. 另一个原因之所以提前提供幻灯片是因为我希望你们能充分理解材料。 I want you to be engaged in whatever it is that we are discussing in class, not necessarily thinking about getting down every word that I say on paper, remembering everything, memorizing everything. 充分参与课堂讨论而不是忙于记录我说的每一个字，记住每一个词，背诵每一句话。

I want you to take rather than passive notes of writing down what’s on the power point or every word that I say, I’d like you to take active notes. And that means being engaged with the material.我不希望你们被动地记录幻灯片上的内容或者我说的话而是要主动记录。也就是要充分理解材料。

For example, if you heard something and idea and you say:”Oh, that’s interesting”. Star it, write it down. Or “OK, I think I’ll start applying this”. Write it down. Or I want to tell my mom about this later. Or I want to talk to my roommates or my team about this idea. Write it down.比如如果你们听到某个理论觉得“挺有趣的”，标上星号，写下来，或者觉得“也许我可以应用这点”，那就写下来。或者跟我妈妈讲讲。或者跟我室友队友讲讲。那就写下来。

l Active note taking is opposed to passive note taking for two reasons. 主动笔记与被动笔记有两方面不同。

First of all, as I said, this class is a class about making a difference in people’ lives. 首先，正如我刚才说的这门课是关于如何改变生活。 I would not be teaching the class just for its academic beauty although there is a lot of academic beauty in this field. 我不会仅为了学术之美而教授此课虽然这一领域的确有许多美术之美。

So write down if you have an idea that you think you can apply. 所以发现可以实际运用的就写下来。 The second reason why we should that is because you’ll remember more. Better attention, better understanding of the material if you are actively engaged as opposed to just taking down passive notes.第二个原因是你会记住的更多。 主动参与，集中注意，更好的理解材料而不是被动做笔记。 Throughout the class starting next week we’ll take what I called “time-ins” as opposed to “time-outs”. It’s like a time-out在这整个课程中从下周开始我们将进行我所说的“练习时间”而不是“休息时间”。其实类似休息时间。

It’s the time where we stop the class and you look inward. 这段时间我们会停止课程进行内省。 And this is literally a time of silence in a class. I will stop for a minute or two.也就是在课堂上的安静片刻。我会停一两分钟。

And you will have a chance either to just stare at me or anyone else or think about what we’ve just discussed or have a guiding question that I will provide you that you’ll address during the class. 你们可以盯着我或者周围人发呆或者思考一下之前讨论的内容或者解答我提出的提示问题。

The reason why I have time-ins, this is something that I am introducing this year for the first time; we didn’t have it last time. 之所以进行练习时间，这是我今年新提出的，上学期没有。

It’s because over the last two years since I last taught it, I’ve done a lot work in the area of silence. 因为上次课程结束后到现在的两年我做了大量关于安静的研究。

I’ve read a lot of research in this area about the importance of quiet times whether it’s in a class, in a lecture, whether it is at home, whether it is for a leader in the business, for relationship, for children starting from pre-schools. 关于安静时刻的重要性，无论是课堂里，讲座里，还是家中，无论是公司领导，爱情关系甚至学龄前的儿童。

Now many of you, as you are going through these time-ins if you decide to take this class may think:”Well, is this what I’m paying 40000 dollars a year for?””To sit a class and be quiet?”. 你们中很多人在经历练习时间时可能会疑惑：“我一年付四万美金就是为了这个?“”坐在教室里发呆?“。

First of all, it will only be a minute or two at a time maybe once or twice a lecture. But second, it is maybe the most important thing you’ll take from this class. The notion of embracing stillness.首先，每个人只有一两分钟，一堂课最多不超次两次。第二，这可能是你从本课程中学到的最重要的东西。 即享受安静这一理念。

Let me read to you an excerpt from a study that was run by two MIT professors. 我来读一段麻省理工两位教授的研究。 You don’t need to remember or write down; this is just for your edification. So David Foster and Matthew Wilson, both of them from MIT. David Foster和Matthew Wilson不必背诵或记录，只是为了启发你们。教授都来自麻省理工大学。

Indeed the following study that I think confirms the importance of time-in, time to look inside. 他们研究证实了练习时间的重要性，开始内省的时间。

What they did is they scanned the brains of rats while they were in a maze and after they went through the maze. And here’s what they found.他们在老鼠处在迷宫中及脱离迷宫后分别对它们进行了脑扫描。以下是他们的发现。

What the results suggest is that while there certainly is some record of your experience as it is occurring in other words when they doing the maze. 实验结果表明，当某种经历正在进行时，即老鼠进行迷宫时。

The actual learning when you try to figure out:”what was important?”, ”what should I keep and throw away?”. That happens after the fact during periods of quiet wakeful introspection.真正的学习阶段是当你尝试分辨：“什么才是重要的?“，”什么舍弃什么保留。“。 这些发生在经历之后进行安静的自省时。 What they show was rats who went through the maze and went through the maze again and again learned far less than rats who took time aside chilled out a little bit after a maze had more margarita. 他们的实验表明接连不断反复进入迷宫的老鼠比进行一次迷宫后稍事放松，来点小酒的老鼠学到的少得多。 Experience, embrace stillness. This has implications and they showed implications to human beings as well. Not only those of the rat race, all human beings.经历，享受安静。这很能说明问题，对人类也一样。不仅仅是实验小白鼠，所有人类都是。

So what they say is that ”Replay might constitute a general mechanism of learning and memory”. Both learning, understanding as well as memory, retention.他们认为：“重现可能形成一种学习记忆机制“。 包括学习，理解，记忆，保留。

When we reflect, when we replay the material, we are much more likely to retain, to remember what we have just been through. 当我们思考时，我们重放素材时更容易保留，记住之前的经历。 So the importance of time aside cannot be over-emphasized. 所以休息时间的重要性不能被忽视。 In his wonderful book of teaching, Parker Palmer—it’s called The Courage to Teach says the following. Parker Palmer在他的教学著作《教学的勇气》一书中提到了以下一段话。

well. 语言不是教学的唯一媒介，安静同样可以进行教育。

Silence gives us a chance to reflect on what we have said and heard. 安静让我们有机会反省我们所说所闻。 In authentic education, silence is treated as a trustworthy matrix for the inner work students must do, a medium for learning of the deepest sort. Silence is something that is missing from our culture.在真正的教育中，安静为学生进行内省提供可靠环境，是一种最深层次的学习媒介。 而安静恰恰是我们文化所缺失的。

I know that many of you have probably read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert M Pirsig. He had a second book out, less well-known, called Lila (Lila: an Inquiry into Morals).很多人可能读过《万里任禅游》，作者Robert M Pirsig。 还写过另一本书，没那么知名，叫《寻找莱拉》。 And Lila is an anthropological study of Native Americans. 这本书是对印第安人的人类学研究。 What he does there is compare their culture to Americans’ from European ancestry. 将他们的文化与美国传承的欧洲文化进行对比。

And one of the distinguishing characteristics between these two cultures is their approach were silence. What he found was when he went and sat around with Native Americans. They would sit around the fire and hang out for two three hours without saying a word.两种文化最突出的特点之一是印第安人崇尚安静。他发现与印第安人坐在一起。他们围坐在篝火边两三个小时一句话也没说。

ust sit around, look at another, smile, have a good time, introspect, just be there for hours. 只是坐在那儿，互相看着，微笑，享受美好时光，内省，就这样几个小时。

While he points out that in our culture we feel very uncomfortable with the absence of words with the absence of sound or noise. 他指出，在我们文化中沉默让人不适。

We have to fill up all the gaps. This is an important cultural difference. And we pay a price for this lack of stillness.我们试图打破沉默。这是一项重要的文化差异。我们为缺乏安静付出了代价。

A price that we’ll talk about a lot, when I talk about relationships, when I talk about virtue and morality, and when we talk about happiness and wellbeing in general. 我们会重点讨论这一代价，涉及到恋爱，美德与道德以及快乐与幸福感。

Let me give a little bit background on positive psychology. 下面介绍一下积极心理学的背景。 How we came about and how this class came about. 它是如何诞生的，这门课是如何诞生的。

In many ways, positive psychology is the brainchild, the product and the grandchild of humanistic psychology. 从很多方面说，积极心理学是人本主义心理学的产物和衍生。

What we have in humanistic psychology is essentially a reaction to be existing psychology of the time. 人本主义心理学本质上是对当时各种心理学派系的不同见解。

The founders, considered the founders of humanistic psychology in fact called it “the third force”. Why the third force?人本主义心理学的创始人称之为心理学上的“第三势力“。为什么是第三势力呢? Because the first force was behaviorism, the work of Skinner (B.F.Skinner), the work of Waston (John B. Waston), the work of Thorndik (Edward Thorndik). This was the first force.因为第一势力是行为主义，代表人物有斯金纳、华生、桑代克。这是第一势力。

he second force was psychoanalysis. The work of Frued (Sigmund Frued), Jung (Carl Jung), Adler (Alfred Adler) to some extent. This was the second force.第二势力是精神分析学。创建者包括弗洛伊德，荣格以及阿德勒。这是第二势力。

And the third force, humanistic psychology came as a reaction to it. First It is a reaction to behaviorism.第三势力人本主义心理学作为对其的异议出现。首先是对行为主义的异议。

Behaviorism looks at the human entity at the person as basically a collection of behaviors as a box, like a billiard ball knocked around by reinforcements, by punishment, by reward. 行为主义认为人的主体性，认为人是一个行为集体就像一只被击打而四处滚动的台球，被增强，被惩罚驱动。

And what humanistic psychology said was that we are much more than a billiard ball being knocked around. 但是人本主义心理学说我们不只是被击打的台球。

We have spirit, we have a soul, we have cognitions and thoughts that matter. 我们有精神，有灵魂，我们有重要的认知与思想。

It’s not just behavior that is important for understanding as well as improving life. 不能只靠行为观察，改善人生。

And then psychoanalysis, the second force. 然后是第二势力精神分析学。

The psychoanalysis is about basically understanding mostly through the subconscious that’s how you understand it, that’s how you improve the quality of life. There are defense mechanisms.精神分析学主要通过潜意识分析，它决定你的理解，决定如何改善生活。还有防卫机制。

There are biological instincts, neurosis, and if you understand these very often dark forces, were better able to deal with life, understand as well as improve the quality of life. 人类本能论，神经症，如果你理解这些黑暗势力就能更好地处理生活，了解并改善生活。

Humanistic psychology says human beings are much more than that. 人本主义心理学认为人类不止如此。

Much more than biological instincts, much more than neurosis. 不仅仅是生理本能，不仅是神经症。 Much more than the person who exists in a Newtonian reality like a billiard ball. 不仅仅是牛顿学说世界里的台球。

We need to value much more the human being. We need to give much more dignity and freedom to the person. There was a problem.我们要重视人的本质。给予更多的自尊和自由。但有一个问题。 The problem was humanistic psychology is said lacked the rigorous methodology. 人本主义心理学缺少严谨的方法论。

While it brought in many wonderful ideas, talked about the study of well-being, talked about the study of optimism, of kindness, of morality, of virtue, of love, of relationships, of peak experiences, of self-actualization, of empathy. 但它引入了许多精彩的理念，对于幸福感的研究，乐观主义的研究，善良，道德，美德，爱，两性关系，巅峰体验，自我实现，移情。

All these wonderful concepts that we’ll talk about throughout the semester. 这些精彩的概念都会在本学期讨论。

It wasn’t as rigorous about its epistemology, about how we form ideas and how we learn. 它的认识论并不严谨，如何形成理念，如何学习。

And that’s why, in many ways, largely not completely but largely more of into the self-health movements. 所以在很多方面，大部分成为了自助运动。

Interesting ideas, good ideas, important ideas, certainly good intentions. But to some extent without the academic rigor.有趣，有益，重要的理念，意图当然是好的。但就某种程度上缺乏学术严谨性。 And that’s why it lacked the impact on academic. That’s why we don’t have partly any humanistic psychology classes offered in universities today. There are very few still around.所以它在学术上影响很小。所以很少有大学开设人本主义心理学。几乎没有。

And this is why also a lot of it became the New Age essentially. 所以本质上成为了新纪元运动。 But still, it’s humanistic psychology that has in many ways fathered and mothered as we’ll see positive psychology. 但是我们很快就会了解到，人本主义心理学孕育了积极心理学。

So let’s meet the grandparents. People like Rollo May, People like Carl Rogers.我们先见见祖父祖母。 比如Rollo May和Carl Rogers。

And more than anyone, Abraham Maslow, was the Americans Psychological Association President, was professor just down the road here at Brandeis (Brandeis University). 还有最著名的Abraham Maslow，曾是美国心理学会主席，布兰迪斯大学教授。

And he introduced this humanistic psychology in 1954. 他于1954年提出了人本主义心理学。 He wrote a chapter, called Toward the Positive Psychology. 他写了一章，《为了积极心理学》。 1954, In it he said we need to also research kindness, goodness, and happiness and optimism. In many ways it was way ahead of his time. 1954年，他在其中写到，我们需要研究善良，美德，快乐与乐观。可以说这是超前于他时代的。 Then if Maslow is the grandfather, then Karen Horney is the grandmother. Initially a psychoanalyst, trained through the works of Frued.如果说Maslow是祖父，那Karen Horney就是祖母了。她最初是精神分析学者学习弗洛伊德的理论。

She realized the focuses had been too much on the negative, on neurosis, on psychosis and said we also not only but also have to focus on what is working on human organism. 意识到其过于注重消极面，神经症，精神病，她认为还必须关注影响人类生命体的东西。

We have to work and look at the fine qualities and cultivate those. Because part of being human is being those things as well. 我们需要研究培养那些好的品质。因为它们也是我们的一部分。 In many ways, brought about the movement toward humanistic psychology and through that—positive psychology. 反而向人本主义靠近了，并由此产生了积极心理学。

Aaron Antonovsky, the third person I would consider the grandfather, brought in the idea of focusing on health. 还有Aaron Antonovsky，第三位祖父级人物提出了关注健康的理念。

He has a new concept. Or he introduced a new concept. I’ am still here, don’t worry.他提出了一个新概念。或者说他引进了一个新概念。我还在，别担心。

He introduced a new concept, which he called, his own neologism: salutogenesis. 他引进了一个新概念，他称之为，他个人创造的新词：健康本源学。

Salutogenesis: salute which is health; genesis which is origin. 健康本源学由两部分组成，saluto健康，genesis起源。

The origin of health, and this was an alternative model, to be conventional ways model of pathologies. 健康的起源这是病理学常规模型的替代模型。

So instead of just studying pathologies whether it’s in physical health or psychological health, we should also study the origin of health. 也就是说除了研究病理学无论是生理健康还是心理健康还需要研究健康的起源。

In many ways that is what prevented medicine is about. 这也是预防医学所关注的。

So this was not a novel idea back in 1970s when he introduced it. 这在1970年是一个全新的理念。 And we will talk a lot about Aaron Antonovsy. 我们会仔细讨论Aaron Antonovsy。 Now the parents. 现在转到父辈。

Martin Seligman considered the father of the positive psychology network of scholars, started the field in 1998. Martin Seligman被认为是积极心理学之父与一群相关学者于1998年确立了这一领域。 Like Maslow, he too, was the President of American Psychological Association. 和马斯洛一样也是美国心理协会会长。 And as his mandate, during his presidency he has two aims. 他任职期间的首要任务是实现两个目标。 The first aim—to make academic psychology more accessible. 第一，让学院式心理学变得通俗。 In other words, bridge Ivory Tower and Main Street. 也就是说连接象牙塔与普罗大众。 This was the first aim of his presidency. 这是他任职期间的第一目标。

The second aim was introduce a positive psychology. 第二是引进一个积极的心理学。

A psychology that will look at also things that work that were not just study depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and neurosis. 需要着眼于有用的东西，不仅仅是研究抑郁、焦虑、精神分裂和神经症。 A psychology a network of scholars who will focus on love, relationships, self-esteem, motivation, resilience and well-being. 还需要关注爱、两性关系、自尊、动机、恢复以及幸福感。

And he introduced these ideas, and it’s all been literally uphill from then. 他提出了这些理念从那时蓬勃发展起来。

Before Martin Seligman, this all happened in 1998 and we’ll talk about it a little bit more next week. 在Martin Seligman之前都发生在1998年，下次我们会详谈。 This all happened in 1998. 这都诞生于1998年。

Long before 1998, our very own professor Ellen Langer did research in all these areas, bringing the humanistic spirit and combining it with the academic scientific rigor. 而早在1998年前 Ellen Langer教授就已经研究了这些领域，将人本主义精神与学术科学严谨性结合。

We’ll be talking probably more than any other scholar about her work in this class. 我们对她的讨论会比其他人多。

And another person from Harvard, one of the parents of positive psychology was Philip Stone, who passed away two years ago, yesterday. 还有一位哈佛的教授，积极心理学的另一位父辈Philip Stone，两年前的昨天去世了。

Both Langer and Stone were my physicist advisors, introduced me to the field of positive psychology into this research. 两位都是我的物理学导师带我进入了积极心理学领域的研究。

In 1998 when I had the first positive psychology summit, Professor Stone took me along with him. 1998年我第一次参加积极心理学峰会，Stone教授带我同去。 I was a graduate student. 我那时在攻读硕士学位。

In 1999 he taught the first positive psychology class at Harvard, one of the first in the world. 1999年他首次在哈佛开设了积极心理学课程，在全球范围内也是首批。 I was his teaching fellow. A couple of years later, he taught it again. l Again, I was his teaching fellow.我是他的教研员。 两年以后，他又重新开设了课程。 我仍旧担任教研员。

And then when I graduated, he suggested I take over his class, and here we are today. So this is 1504.后来我毕业了，他提议我接手他的课程直到今天。这就是1504号心理学课程。

Let me give you a sense of … in the next half an hour and so, a sense of what you expect in this class. 我再来讲……接下来的半个小时我会向你们介绍下这门课的内容。

The first thing is this class is not just about information; it is also explicitly about transformation. What do I mean by that?首先，这门课不只是传授信息而且关于如何变形，显而易见。 这是什么意思? You see most of education today is about information. l What is information? l So we have a container which is our mind.如今大多数教育都只是传达信息。什么是信息? 比如，我们有一个容器，也就是我们的思想。

And information is about taking data, taking science, taking information and putting it inside the form. 信息就是接收数据，接收科学，接收信息储存到容器里。

This is information. Now, when this form is filled, that’s when we are educated.这就是信息。等容器填满了，我们就毕业了。

More information, more data, better. Not enough.信息数据越多越好。这还不够。

Because it’s not just information that determines our well-being, our success, our-esteem, our motivational lever, the relationship and the quality of our relationships. 因为信息无法决定我们的幸福感、我们的成功、自尊和动机水平、两性关系及其质量。

It’s much more than information. Transformation is about taking this form and changing it.光有信息还不够。变形则是把容器的形状改变。

Trans change; form shape, change the form. Trans即改变，Form This is transformation.即形状，改变形状。这就是变形。

This is distinction that I learned first from at the school Professor Robert Kegan who taught about this. 这是Robert Kegan教授教我的第一区别。

Information in and of itself is not enough. Think about this example.接收信息关注信息本身是不够的。听听这个例子。

You go for an athletic meet; your aim is to get into the top three, to be a medalist. You come in number eight.你去参加运动会，目标是进入前三获得奖牌。但是只获得第八名。

What’s the analysis? What’s the interpretation?—Terrible! I just failed. You feel deflated, enervated.你会如何分析?你会如何解读?太糟糕了，我彻底失败了。你灰心丧气，感到无力。 On the other hand, the exact same event. You came eight when you expected to be top three.但从另一个角度看，同样的比赛。你期望获得前三，但只得到第八。

You can interpret is as OK, so what have I learned? I need to work even harder. 你可以解读为，我学到了什么?我还需要更努力的训练。

You become more energized, you learned from the experience. 你会更有动力，从经验中学习。 In other words, the same objective information which is “I got eighth, I expected top three”. The same information, very different interpretation.也就是说，同样的客观信息“我是第八名，我目标前三”。同样的信息，截然不同的解读。

One is disaster; the other interpretation is an opportunity. 一个认为是灾难，另一个则当成机遇。 One leads to loss of energy, the other one to increasing energy. 一个让人失去动力，另一个增加动力。 Or think about another very common example. 还有一个很普遍的例子。

We know of many people around the world who seemingly have everything, who are doing well, who have more than they need, and yet they are unhappy. 世界各地很多人似乎拥有了一切，人生顺利，生活富庶但仍然不快乐。

And then there are people around the world who have very little, and yet they never cease, never stop to celebrate life. 而另一些人拥有的不多但从未中断，从未停止过享受人生。

And we have another way around as well, people who have everything and appreciate it and enjoy life. 还有相反的情况，拥有一切的人充满感恩，享受生活。

And people who have very little and who see themselves as victim. 生活窘迫的人觉得自己是受害者。 In other words, it’s not just the information that goes in; it’s also the shape, the interpretation, the perception, the focus. 也就是说，重要的不仅仅是获得了什么信息，还是有何形状，如何解读，如何理解，关注的重点。

And that is determined by the shape of the form. 这就是由容器的形状所决定的。 This is what I realized when I was an undergrad here. 这是我在本科生阶段所认识到的。 Seemingly, looking in from the outside, I had everything. 表面上看，我拥有了一切。

lDoing well in sports, academics and socially, and yet my perception, my focus, my interpretation of life—not that great. 体育运动，学术和社交都很成功，但是我对生命的理解、关注和解读并不正面。 I wasn’t unhappy. 我不快乐。 The interpretation matters very often a lot more as we’ll see than the information that goes in. 我们后面会讲，通常解读比信息更重要。

One of the sentences that I’ll repeat throughout the class is that happiness is much more contingent on our state of mind than our status or the state of our bank account. 有一句话我会在课程中经常引用：“快乐由我们的精神状态而定而不是社会地位或银行存款”。 And that’s where transformation comes in. 所以需要变形。

And that’s why it’s so important for well-being. 这对建立幸福感来说很重要。

What that will look like in practice is that we’ll cover not so much information. 所以在我们实际操作时不会传达过多信息方面的东西。

We’ll uncover much more and I don’t mean that in the Berkeley (George Berkeley) sense of the word, I mean that in the academic sense of the word. In other words.而是挖掘更多东西，不是联想意义上的而是学术意义上的。也就是说。

What we’ll do is uncover potential that we have inside that we have inside of us all along, maybe we just didn’t see, or maybe it’s obscured by something or another. 我们要挖掘自身潜能，这种潜能一直存在只是我们没有发现或者被其他东西掩盖了。

l We’ll uncover it so that we can utilize it, so that we can focus on it, so that we can perceive it. 我们要发现利用它，以便关注它，以便理解它。

Here is a story just to illustrate it. So this is Michelangelo.我来讲一个故事说明吧。如米开朗基罗。 One day he was asked by a journalist of his time. 曾经有一个记者问他。

How did you create this most amazing masterpiece, David? 您是如何创造出《大卫》这件巨作的? To which Michelangelo responded. 米开朗基罗回答。

It was easy, I went to the quarry, I saw this huge piece of marble, and in it I was David. 很简单，我去了一趟采石场，看见一块巨大的大理石，我在它身上看到了大卫。

All I need to do was to chip away the excess stone, to get rid of the marble that shouldn’t have been there. 我只要凿去多余的石头，只留下有用的。

And when I got rid of this excess stone, there was David. 凿去多余的石头之后，大卫就诞生了。 Not obviously easier said than done. 虽然说的比做的容易。

But this story captured the metaphor of what this class very much is about. 但是这个故事捉住了这门课程精髓。 It’s about chipping away the excess stone; it’s about getting rid of limitations, of barriers, whether it’s the fear of failure, something that we didn’t have as kids. 即凿除多余石块，也就是摆脱限制，阻碍或者对失败的恐惧，这些东西并不是与生俱来的。

But today most people in our culture have it. 但如今却出现在了大多数人身上。

It’s about chipping away perfectionism that is debilitating and often hurts us. 要凿除削弱甚至伤害我们的完美主义。

It’s about chipping away our ability for success because maybe we are afraid of success. 凿除成功的能力因为我们可能害怕成功。

Maybe we feel guilty about some of the things that we have in our life and that in turn limit us. 可能我们对生命中一些东西感到内疚，这些都会反过来限制我们。

Maybe it’s about chipping away the limitations on our relationships in while we don’t thrive within them. 也许甚至凿除两性关系中的限制，尤其是带来消极面的时候。 This is what this class is mostly about. 这些就是本课程的主要内容。

As Doro says:”Soul grows more by subtraction than by addition, by getting rid of these limitations, limitations that are preventing us from fulfilling our potential”. 就像俗话说的那样：“做减法比做加法让灵魂成长得更快，减法包括除去那些阻碍我们发挥潜能的限制”。

Because our potential is in there in nature, we talk a lot about human nature. 因为我们的潜能是天生的，我们关注人类本性。

It’s there whether it’s through God, whether it’s through evolution. 是与生俱来的，无论是上帝赐予的，还是进化产生的。

We have a lot of potential that overtime with we fix stone of voices with being parts of our culture, that very often these limitations are put on top of us just like the excess stone. 但是渐渐地受到外部文化压力，像多余石料一样，把我们禁锢起来了。

Lao Tzu, ”In pursuit of knowledge everyday something is acquired, in pursuit of wisdom, everyday something is dropped”. 老子说过：“为学日益，为道日损”。

Knowledge is about information. Wisdom is about transformation.学即信息,道即变形。

I was recently interviewed for a newsletter on coaching before a large conference on the topic. And the interviewer asked me.我最近参加一次大型咨询业会议时接受了一家相关期刊的采访。采访者问我。 So what tips, what tools can you give from positive psychology? 能给读者传授一些积极心理学建议吗? So I talked about some of the greatest hits, the importance of gratitude, the importance of physical exercise. 于是我谈到了一些热门话题，感恩的重要性，体育锻炼的重要性。 I talked about the importance of spending time on our relationships, about taking time aside and simplifying and so on and so on. 我谈到了花时间经营爱情的重要性，谈到了休息，简化等等。

And I was going through my long list. She stopped me and she said.我正滔滔不绝时。 她打断了我说。 l You know, Tal, this is all good. The importance of stuff, I know. l But readers already know that.谢谢，Tal，这些都不错。那些事情的重要性，我知道。但这些我们的读者都已经知道了。

I am looking for the Wow factor. Come on, surprise me.我想要的是轰动的因素能让我意外的东西。 What can you tell our readers? 能否告诉我们的读者?

And I thought about this question for a minute, and I realized that there is no Wow. And I told her that.我想了一会这个问题然后意识到根本没有什么惊奇可言。我跟她这么说了。

You know if there is a wow, the wow is that there is no wow. That’s it.所谓的轰动之处就是没有轰动之处。就是这样。

Because the over-not-transformation emperor, the emperor of quick fixes has no clothes. 因为没有经过转变，快速见效的说法都是皇帝的新衣。

It doesn’t exist; it’s over-promising and under-delivering. 是不存在的，是过高的承诺和过低的兑现。 l A life, a fulfilling life, a rich life includes ups and downs, includes pain and getting up again, includes failure and getting up again. 生活，令人满意的生活，丰富的生活包括了起起落落，包括了痛苦和再次振作，包括失败和再次奋斗。

l It includes success and celebrating it, victories and losses, ups and downs as we will talk about next week. 它包括了成功和庆祝成功，胜利与失败，起起和落落，我们下星期会讲到。

l It’s not about this one secret, one Wow to the good life. 而不是关乎一个秘密，一个能让人过上幸福生活的令人惊奇的诀窍。

l And many of the things you will learn in the class, you’ve heard before. 而你们将在本课程中学到的很多东西，都是你们之前听说过的。

l Probably nothing new to you. 也许对你来说没有什么新鲜的内容。

l You already know it inside of you. 在你内心深处你已经知道了。

l And you are going to say:”Well, it is common sense”. 你会说“这是常识”。

l And yes, a lot of it is common sense. 是的，很多都是常识。

l However, it is Voltaire once said:”Common sense is not that common”. 但是伏尔泰曾经说过：“常识并非那么平常”。 l And this especially applies to application. 特别是应用于实际。

l So the aim of this class is to make common sense more common, especially in the real world application. 所以本课程的目标是让常识更加平常，特别是应用到实际中。

l At the end of the class. 在本课程结束时。

l Here’s what I am hoping for, at the end of the class, if you decide to take it at the end of the semester. 我所希望的是，在本课程结束之时，如果你打算上这门课的话在本学期结束时。

l I don’t think—I am not expecting you to come and tell me. 我不想，我不期待你跑过来告诉我。

l Wow, thank you for teaching me so many new things. 谢谢你教给了这么多新东西。

l That’s what I am expecting. 那不是我所期待的。

l I don’t think that is what will happen. 我不认为那会发生。

l What I hope will happen is for you to come and say rather than “Thank you for teaching me” something you would say. 我所希望发生的是你过来跟我说，不是说“谢谢你教了我”之类的话。

l “Thank you for reminding me of something that I’ve already known”. 而是“谢谢提醒了我一些我熟知的事情”。

l And this is what this class is about. 这就是本课程要做的。

l It’s constant reminder, twice a week. 经常性的提醒，一周两次。

l Constant reminder of what you already know of what is inside you, the David that is inside you. 经常提醒你们记起你们已知的东西，你们内心深处的东西，你们心中的大卫。

l And what this class will hopefully do is to help you chip away some of these limitations, whether it’s limitation, cognitive limitations that prevent you from seeing what already knew, emotional limitations that are preventing you from deriving the benefits of what you already know or behavioral limitations. 本课程希望做到的是帮助你们凿掉一些束缚，不管是哪种束缚，是阻碍你认识已经熟知事物的认知束缚还是阻碍你从已经熟知事物中获取益处的情绪束缚抑或是行为束缚。

l The ABC affects behavior and cognition that we’ll talk about during the change week. 基本要素是影响，行为和认知正是我们在改变周将要讨论。

l So I’m making common sense more common. 我要让常识更平常。

l Information in and of itself is simply not enough. 信息本身还不够。

l It’s not enough and what we need in addition to our information highway is a transformation highway. 还不够，而我们除了信息高速公路外还需要转变高速公路。 l Transformation highway or transformation back roads to come through the fast increasing pace because as we’ll talk about next time. 转变高速公路还是转变乡村小道上来经历快速增长的步伐，因为我们就像下次课会说到的那样。

l Rates of depression are on the rise, rates of anxiety are on the rise, not just in this country, globally. 抑郁率呈上升趋势，焦虑率呈上升趋势，不只是在这个国家，是全球化的现象。

l It’s literally global epidemic. 简直就是全球传染病。

l And to deal with it, more information will just not do, just not enough. 而为了应对它，更多的信息也并不够。

l Here is Archibald MacLeish. 下面是Archibald MacLeish的话。

l He was a poet, was a Harvard professor. 他生前是一位诗人，是哈佛的教授。

l What is wrong is not the greatest discoveries of science—information is always better than ignorance, no matter what information or what ignorance. 错的不是科学的重大发现，有信息永远比无知强，不管是什么样信息和什么样无知。

l What is wrong is the belief behind the information, the belief that information will change the world, it won’t. 错在于信息背后的信念，认为信息会改变世界的信念，但它不会。

l Just adding it and filling up our containers with more and more stuff, more and more information, more and more data. 往我们的容器里增加装上越来越多的东西，越来越多的信息，越来越多的数据。

l It’s just not enough, we need more than that. 还是不够，我们需要更多。

l This class will take a humanistic approach. 本课程将采用一种人性的方法。

l Let me read you a quick excerpt by Abraham Maslow who talks about this approach. 我来给你们读一小段Abraham Maslow的话。

l If one took a course or picked up a book on the psychology of learning, most of it, in my opinion, would be beside the point—that is, beside the “humanistic” point. 如果有人上了一门关于心理学学习的课大部分内容在我看来是与重点无关的，也就是与人性无关。

l Most of it would present learning as the acquisition of associations of skills and capacities that are external and not intrinsic to the human character, to the human personality, to the person himself. 大部分内容把学习展现为获得联想技能和能力，这些对于人的性格，人的个性，人本身来说只是外在的而并非本质的。

l External refers to information. 外在指信息。

l Internal refers to the transformation, the changing of the form. 内在指转变，形态的转变。 l And when we talk about transformation, actually mean it quite literally—change of the form, changing of the brain as we’ll talk about. 当我们谈到转变时实际上是非常字面的说法，形态的改变，大脑的改变，我们一会就谈到。

l We’ll talk about meditation for instance. 比如我们会谈到冥想。

l We know our brain today can actually change through MRI studies since 1998. 1998年后通过核磁共振研究我们知道大脑而已被改变。

l A new concept came up which is Neurogenesis or Neuroplasticity, meaning our brain actually changes and transforms. 一个新的概念叫做神经形成或者神经可塑性，是指我们的大脑实际上会改变和转变。

l It changes its form throughout our life. 在我们的一生中其形态都在改变。

l So I don’t just mean it metaphorically, I also very often mean it literally. 所以我不只是在打比方，我也经常指的是字面意思。

l Abraham Maslow continues. 继续Abraham Maslow的话。

l Humanistic philosophy offers a new conception of learning, of teaching and of education. 人性的哲学衍生出关于学习，教学和教育的新概念。

l Stated simply, such a concept holds that the function of education, the goal of education, the human goal, the humanistic goal, the goal so far as human beings are concerned—is ultimately the “self-actualized” of a person, the becoming fully human, the development of the fullest height that the human species can stand up to or that the particular individual can come to. 简单地说，这一概念认为教育的功能，教育的目标，人的目标，人性的目标，只要人还是被关注的目标——从根本上是一个人的自我实现，完全成为一个人，达到人类或者特定的某个个人能达到的最高高度。

l In a less technical way. 通俗点讲。

l It is helping the person to become the best that he is able to become. 就是帮助一个人成为最好的自己。

l And this was before the Ad came up for the army that “Be all you can be”. 这些是军队的广告“做最好的自己”。

l This is what the class is about. 这就是本课程所要讲的。

l It’s the humanistic approach. 这就是人性的方法。

l It’s about fulfilling our potential, chipping away those limitations. 关于实现我们的潜能，凿掉那些束缚。 l Now to many of you this may sound naïve, idealistic. 现在对于你们许多人这种方式似乎很天真，很理想主义。

l Naïve it is not, Idealistic it is. 并不天真，但理想主义。

l And we’ll talk about and discuss the importance of idealism and maintaining idealism. 我们会谈到和讨论理想主义和保守理想主义的重要性。

l If we are to introduce personal change, inter-personal change or community or society change. 如果我们要介绍个人的改变，个人之间的改变，或群体与社会的改变的话。

l This class is not about providing answers concerning the good life and happiness. 本课程不是提供关于美好生活和幸福的答案的。

l It is about identifying the right questions. 是关于辨识正确的问题。

l Ask and ye shall your receive, say the Scripture. 问过之后便会有收获，圣经如是说。

l This class is what I think education is all about which is that the quest for information and transformation must begin with the question. 本课程就是我认为的教育的宗旨也就是对信息和转变的探索必须由一个问题开始。

l Quest, question. 探索，问题。

l There is no coincidence that there is an etymological link between the two. 这两者在词源上有所关联并非巧合。

l In this class we’ll be asking, you’ll be asked many questions, questions that as you’ll see, create reality. 在本课程中，我们会问，你们会被问许多问题，你们将会看到那些问题创作了现实。

l We’ll talk about it already next time. 我们下次会讲到。

l The importance of the questions you ask of yourselves first and foremost of your partner, of your students, of your parents, of your employees in the future, teammates and so on. 那些你首先向你自己，然后问你的搭档，学生，父母，未来的雇员和同事提出的问题的重要性。

l Questions make a difference. 问题十分重要。

l Peter Drucker, ”The most common source of mistake in management decisions is the emphasis on finding the right answer rather than the right question”. Peter Drucker说：“在管理决策最常见的错误来源是强调找到正确答案而非正确的问题”。

l Peter Drucker considered the most important management scholar of 20th century just recently passed away, saying the biggest mistake is not asking the right questions. Peter Drucker是20世纪最重要的管理学学者，最近刚刚去世，说最大的错误是没有问正确的问题。 l As we’ll see next week, this is the biggest mistake in research potential; this is the biggest mistake in application. 我们下次会看到，这也是在研究中潜在的最大的错误，这也是在应用中最大的错误。

l Not asking the right questions as well. 没有问正确的问题。

l Whether it’s in managing organizations, whether it’s managing our lives. 不论是在管理组织还是在管理我们的生活。

l Now, when I said that questions are important and answers matter less, I am not coming from a point of relativism. 现在当我说问题重要而答案没那么重要时，我不是从相对论的观点来说的。

l I’m not a relativist, I think they are……. 我不是相对论者，我认为他们……。

l To some questions definitive answers that are important to know. 对于某些问题，知道决定性的答案很重要。

l However, what I’m saying is that it’s important, not less important to focus on questions when it comes to education. 但是，我所说的是当提到教育时关注问题很重要，而不是较不重要。

l The educator, Neil Postman once said. 教育家Neil Postman曾经说过。

l The kids enter schools as question marks and they leave as periods. 孩子进校时像问号而毕业时像句号。

l My hope in this class is to bring up many more question marks than periods. 我的希望是本课程培养的问号要比句号多。

l Once again, it’s about chipping away the excess stone because as kids. 再一次，这是关于凿掉多余的石头。

l We are always asking questions, we are always curious. 因为作为孩子，我们永远都在问问题，我们永远都很好奇。

l Let me show you a quick excerpt from a video of one of my favorite psychologists, actually the comedian Seinfeld. 我来放一段我最喜爱的心理学家之一的录影，其次是喜剧演员宋飞。

l Here he is talking about…… 他要讲的是……

l We will watch a lot of excerpts throughout the semester. 我们这个学期会看很多录影。

l Talking about what we were like as kids. 如果像孩子一样我们会是怎样。

l So, the first couple of years I made my own costumes which of course sucked, the ghost, the hobo, then finally, the third year, begging the parents, I got the Superman Halloween costume, not surprisingly, Cardboard box, self-made top, mask included, remember the rubber band on the back of that mask? That was a quality item there, wasn’t it? 于是前两年，我自己做服装当然不怎么样，鬼啊，流浪汉啊，第三年终于求了爸妈，我得到了超人的万圣节服装，并不奇怪，纸盒箱，自己做的上衣，还有面具，还记得面具后面的橡皮筋吗?那可是个质量不错的玩意，不是吗。

l That was good for about 10 seconds before it snapped out of that cheap little staple they put it in there with. 它可以坚持用10分钟之后就会从那个廉价订书钉里掉出来。

l You got to your first house, “Trick or…”, Snap! It broke, I don’t believe it. 你去了第一个人家。“不给糖就……“啪嗒，橡皮筋断了，简直不敢相信。

l Wait up you guys. I gotta fix it! Hey, wait up! Wait up! 你们等我一下，我能修好它，等我一下，等我一下。

l Kids don’t say “wait”. 孩子们不说“等“。

双语美文集锦

Passage 1 Learn to Live at the Present Moment

To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live at the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are—always.

Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things—all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns dominate our present moments, so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing that “someday” will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that “someday” never actually arrives. John Lennon once said, “Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans.” When we are busy making „other plans‟, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.

Many people live as if life is a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn‟t. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When we put our attention on the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

that might happen in the future—we won‟t have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.

学会活在此刻

我们内心是否平和在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在此刻所决定的。不管昨天或去年发生了什么，不管明天可能发生或不发生什么，现实才是你时时刻刻所在之处。

毫无疑问，我们很多人掌握了一种神经兮兮的艺术，即把生活中的大部分时间花在为种种事情担心忧虑上——而且常常是同时忧虑许多事情。我们听凭过去的麻烦和未来的担心控制我们此时此刻的生活，以致我们整日焦虑不安，萎靡不振，甚至沮丧绝望。而另一方面我们又推迟我们的满足感，推迟我们应优先考虑的事情，推迟我们的幸福感，常常说服自己“有朝一日”会比今天更好。不幸的是，如此告诫我们朝前看的大脑动力只能重复来重复去，以致“有朝一日”不会真的来临。约翰·列侬曾经说过：“生活就是当我们忙于制订别的计划时发生的事。” 当我们忙于制订种种 “别的计划” 时，我们的孩子在忙于长大，我们挚爱的人离去了甚至快去世了，我们的体型变样了，而我们的梦想也在消然溜走。一句话，我们错过了生活。

许多人的生活好像是某个未来日子的彩排。并非如此。事实上，没人能保证他或她明天肯定还活着。现在是我们所拥有的唯一时间，现在也是我们能控制的唯一的时间。当我们将注意力放在此时此刻时，我们就将恐惧置于脑后。恐惧就是我们担忧某些事情会在未来发生——我们不会有足够的钱，我们的孩子会惹上麻烦，我们会变老，会死去，诸如此类。

Passage 2 What will matter?

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won‟t matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived. It won‟t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant. So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured? What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave. What will matter is not your success, but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence, but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you‟re gone. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. Living a life that matters doesn‟ t happen by accident. It‟s not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters.

什么才重要?

无论你是否准备好，总有一天它都会走到尽头。 那里没有日出，没有白天，没有小时和分钟。 你收集的所有东西，不管你珍惜或已忘记，它们都将流入他人手中。

不管是你已得到的或是别人欠你的，你的财富、名誉和权势都会变成和你毫不相干的东西。

你的怨恨、愤慨、沮丧和妒忌最终也将消失。

同样，你的希望、抱负、计划以及行动日程表也将全部结束。当初看得比较重的成功和失败也会消失。

你来自何方，住在穷人区还是富人区也都不重要了。

你昔日的漂亮与辉煌也都不重要了，你的性别、肤色、种族地位也将变得无关紧要。

因此，什么重要呢? 怎么衡量你有生之年的价值呢?

重要的不是你买了什么，而是你创造了什么;不是你得到了什么，而是你给予了什么。

重要的不是你成功了，而是你生命的意义。 重要的不是你学到了什么，而是你传授了什么。

重要的是每个行动之中都充满正直、怜悯、勇气以及奉献精神，并且鼓励他圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

人效仿榜样。

重要的不是你的能力，而是你的性格。

重要的不是你认识多少人，而是在你离开后，多少人会认为是个永远的损失。 重要的不是你想念谁，而是爱你的人想念你。

重要的是别人会记着你多长时间，谁记着你，为什么记着你。 过一种有意义的生活不是一件偶然的事情。 那不是环境的问题，而是选择的问题。 选择有意义的人生吧!

Passage 3 The expectation of grandfather

We made every effort to assure a better life for our kids but our attempt proved to be an abortion. For my grandchildren, would know better.

I hope you follow your priest‟s suggestion to read the Bible in your spare time, though you have no religious belief.

I hope you consult with the veterans (stagers) frequently. When you disagree others, you should not only dare to argue, but also be patient to hear your opponents‟ arguments and remember that weapon can‟t be the terminal solution,

I hope you learn to drive a crane or mend the semiconductor radio. A craft will ensure that you won‟t be starved forever. I hope you know there is not only applause, medals and crowns , but also failure, defeat and dilemma in the world; there are not only peace, equality and cooperation but also controversy collision and contradiction , or even traps , cruelty and deception 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

in the world , I hope you show charity to the cripples, I hope you could help others sincerely at your convenience by doing some minor things, such as vacuuming the house for your mom, shifting the tire for Mister Smith or stopping in highway when somebody thumbs a ride. I hope you have ever mounted a high mountain equipped with a compass and torch. I also hope nobody would send you a brand-new auto before you‟re 20. My cherished grandson, I hope you compute the sending of your allowance and make a timetable or an agenda lest time click away without your consciousness. My dear grandson, I want you to put down your briefcase, leave your urban life with air-condition, internet and vehicles, and take a break at hometown when you are tired , I surely hop you could accompany grandpa to have a haircut or see the dentist or have a chat with your grandma.

爷爷的期望

我们竭尽全力想让我们的儿女们过得更好，而结果却无济于事。对我的孙辈们，我就明智得多了。

我希望你听众神父的建议。闲时读读《圣经》，虽然你自己并没有宗教信仰。 我希望你多向经验丰富的人请教。

我希望你在跟别人起冲突时，勇于为自己辩护，但是，也要有耐心倾听对手的声音，切记武力并不能解决所有问题。

我希望你能学一门手艺，比方说开起重机或修半导体收音机等。一技在身，吃穿不愁。

我希望你知道这个世界上不仅有掌声、勋章和皇冠，也会有失败、挫折和困圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

境;不仅有和平、平等和合作，也会有争论、冲突和矛盾，甚至会有陷阱、残忍和欺骗。

我希望你对伤残人士表现出同情。我希望你能真诚地帮助别人，做些力所能及的小事。比如，帮妈妈用吸尘器清扫房间，帮史密斯先生换汽车轮胎或是在路上让别人搭车等等。

我真的希望你曾带着指南针和手电筒，爬上过高山。我也希望没有人在你20岁之前送你一辆轿车。

我的宝贝孙子，我希望你们学会做计划，不要花光所有的零花钱，不要让时间在不经意间流逝。

我亲爱的孙子，最后希望你，工作累了，就放下公文包，离开那有着网络、空调和车辆的都市生活，回家乡休息一下。我当然也希望你有时间陪爷爷理个发，看看牙医或是陪奶奶聊聊天。

Passage

4The Two Roads

It was Christmas Eve，an aged man was standing on the balcony ，with uneasy，alarmed and pessimistic expression; He sighed for his miserable fate, and raised his sad eyes, gazed at the sparking stars in the deep blue sky. A falling star depicted a curve in the sky and disappeared, which seemed like the symbol of his life.

Then he cast them below his floor, where a few more desperate people than him were moving towards their inevitable destination-the grave. He had already expended sixty years on the way leading to it, and he had acquired nothing but agony and regret. Now his health was poor, his mind was vacant, his heart was sorrowful, and his life 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

was short of comforts.

The days of his youth appeared like dreams floating in his brain, and he recalled the strategic moment when he stood at the access to two roads- At the end of the first road, it was a peaceful and sunny place. It was covered with delicate flowers, fascinating bamboo forest, bunches of attractive grapes. There lived cute deer, tame lambs, and flying butterflies and echoed with the merry, sweet laughter. There were also winding tracks and honey peach trees dotted the graceful landscape.

At the end of the second road, it was a damp and dull cave, which was an absolute hell of great bulk. It was covered with moist ponds and marshes, nasty, ditches and jungles, chilling and thrilling jails, all around was emitting the stale acid flavor. There lived evil devils, giant monsters, poisonous snakes, and echoed with the horrible barking of wolves. It was full of spiders, bats, frogs, damn rats, offensive bugs and other crawling insects.

He looked up to the sky and shouted aloud,“O youth, return! Return !”

And his youth did return, for all this was only a nightmare which he had on Christmas Eve. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the damp and dull cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which led to the peaceful and sunny land.

Those youngsters, who are still wandering at the entrance of life and hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years have passed and your feet are limping in the dark cave, you will cry bitterly, but in vain; “O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”

两条路

圣诞节前夜，一位老人伫立在阳台上，面带不安、忧虑和悲伤的表情。他哀叹着自己悲惨的命运，抬起黯然失神的双眼凝视着深蓝色的天空中闪烁的星星。一颗陨落的星星划出一道弧线后消失了，那似乎是他生命的象征。

他将目光投向地面，几个比他更加绝望的人正在走向人生必然的终点—坟墓。在通往人生终点的道路上，他已经过了60多个年头，除了痛苦和悔恨，他一无所获。现在，他身体虚弱，精神空虚，心情忧郁，缺少晚年应有的舒适。青春的岁月如梦幻般浮现在他的脑海里，他回想起当他站在人生岔口上的关键时刻。当时，他面前有两条路—

第一条路的尽头，是一个和平、阳光普照的地方。那里有娇嫩的鲜花、迷人的竹林、一串串诱人的葡萄、可爱的小鹿、温顺的羊羔、翩飞的蝴蝶，到处回荡着愉快甜美的笑声，还有弯弯曲曲的小路和小蜜桃树点缀着那里优美的风景。 第二条路的尽头，是一个犹如地狱般潮湿阴暗的巨大山洞。那里遍布着潮湿的池塘和沼泽、肮脏的水沟和丛林、阴冷而恐怖的牢狱，四周散发着陈腐的酸味，那里有恶魔、巨兽和毒蛇，回荡着令人毛骨悚然的狼嚎声。随处可见的是蜘蛛、蝙蝠、青蛙、老鼠、令人讨厌的臭虫和其他昆虫。 他仰望天空，大声地哭喊：“哦，青春，你回来吧!回来吧!”

他的青春真的回来了，因为以上所发生的一切只是他在平安夜做的一场噩梦。他仍旧年轻，虽然的确犯过一些错误，但还未坠入深渊;他仍然可以自由地走上通往和平与光明的道路。

在人生的十字路口徘徊，不知该不该选择光明大道的年轻人啊，你们千万要记住：当你青春已逝，双足在黑暗的山洞举步维艰，跌跌撞撞之时，你才痛疾首地呼唤：“哦，回来吧，青春!哦，把我的美好年华还给我!”这将毫无意义。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Passage 5 What I learned in kindergarten

Don‟t fight. Don‟t quarrel with my cousins. Don‟t veil my mistake. Don‟t imitate the criminal behaviors of fraud and thief in the television series. Don‟t steal coins in the closet, cartoon in the grocery bacon, toast or jam in the cupboard (cabinet). Clean up my own garbage (trash). Don‟t talk about disappointing topics. Share candy with my partners. Distinguish the goodness from the vice. Hold to traditional virtues such as honesty and integrity justice and kindness, mercy and patience.

Promote social morality.

Accept the criticism or proposal of others modestly.

Eat more carrot, cereal, salad and garlic, and control yourself to eat less dessert, fried chips, sausage, and stale diet. Classify the clothing of each season.

Passage 6 Life

You wake up in the morning, feeling groggy and disoriented. You look at yourself in the mirror, fearful to look him straight in the eye.

You back zero tolerance on boredom, stuffing every vacant 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

moment with talks, malls and laptops! You are silent in their eyes, yet the noisiest in yours, for that inner voice you can hardly hear. You hang on the rim of the wheel of fortune, going up and down, tasting highs and lows. Life goes on but it is out of control! Not so soon, nor too late. You open your eyes, stretching your muscles and seeing the whole world beckons to you. You cheat him no more, smile to him , stare at him, knowing he is with you clear up to the end. You celebrate every moment, busy or free; strive not to become a human-doing, be and consider like a human-being! You talk gently, speak forcefully, and argue eloquently, because a mind in peace functions with effortless ease. You break free, make it to the hub, center your life on the bliss. Let it go! Let it flow! Life still is, but you got a big role!

生活

清晨初醒，你只觉昏昏沉沉，糊里糊涂。 对着镜中的他，你已不敢直视那双眼。

你对无聊的零容忍，让你的生活被塞满闲聊，购物，笔记本! 他们眼中安静的你，在你心中却嘈杂不堪，只因心声早已杳不可闻。 你攀上命运之轮的边缘，从此生活跌宕起伏，阴晴不定。 生活依然继续，却已脱离掌控。 光阴不长不短，会有一天：

你睁开双眼，舒展筋骨，世界已然向你呼唤。

不再欺骗镜中的他，朝他微笑，死死盯着他，你明白他将伴你走过一生的旅程 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

不论闲暇忙碌，珍惜每个当下。你不再被生活俘虏忙个不停，思考并实现人之为人!你言辞温婉，演说铿锵，雄辩滔滔，一切运行自如，却宁静而无为。你挣脱轮缘，爬上轮轴中心，专注万物的美好。放开拳头!让幸福在掌心流动! 生活依旧如是，你不作主，孰作主!

Passage 7 The Last Wish in a Winter Night Kent was a manger of a cement agency. His establishment nearly had gone bankrupt because one of his inferiors betrayed him. Just now Kent had made a presentation to the board in the chamber, conceding the failure of his administration. He had temporarily stopped the provision of cement in all projects.

It was a cold winter midnight. In corridor, the thermometer suspended showed the temperature was minus 9 degrees centigrade. The tragedy blurred Kent‟s mind, so he steered to a bar alone. He wanted nothing but to drink liquor tonight.

There were few people in the street. Suddenly, a figure of an old madam exposed within his eyesight. She was standing sideways nearby a platform, dressed in a plain gown, hauling a portable suitcase, and holding with a plastic bag in the other hand. The slight old lady was seemingly more than 80. She was trembling in cutting wind with red nose. Now she kept motioning Kent for a ride. Although Kent was somewhat angry about the old madam‟s disturbing and he wasn‟t induced at all to inquire any occurrence concerning her, he wouldn‟t like to leave her in the cold night. He thought that she presumable needed help. So he braked near her.

The madam said, “Would you please take me a ride? I can offer double fare…” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Kent interrupted her, “I will charge you nothing! Come on!”

The madam pointed her luggage (baggage) and said, “Could you put them into the car?”

Kent stooped, heaved and put them in the car.

They proceeded to drive. Kent halted at a petroleum station where he wanted to purchase gallons of gasoline. During the interval they waited in a queue, the madam began with her narratives,“ could you please send me to the charity house in suburb; I want to give them the luggage. I had been rendered help as a refugee there 50 years ago.” Kent was confused about the identity and behavior of the madam, so he asked, “Why do you do this at midnight?” The madam replied, “I retired on a pension. They prohibit (forbid) me from coming out during the day. In the case are the surplus jackets, jeans and pants of my nephews and nieces.”

After 2 hours‟ bump, Kent went out the entry of the charity house. They continued.

“Please wait a moment, Sit!” the madam said suddenly, fixed her eyesight on an old building. “You know the first house in the uppermost floor was the first home my husband and I leased (rented) where I dialed the up-to-date videophone the first time in my life. The landlord was a good guy.” She burst into tears, “Now they‟ve all gone to the heaven.” Kent realized the madam was recalling a section (segment) of the good missing days. A penetrating feeling overwhelmed him, and he decided to cancel his plan and stay with the old madam.

As the old madam dictated, they went to a golf playground. The region, she said, was a dairy dozens of years ago. Everyday she went to the farm with sleeve covers, 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

cushion, jar, towel and other auxiliary appliances. Her main work was to squeeze, transport and distribute milk. She also bred the cow sometimes.

Then the old madam instructed, “Please send me to the rest home in the town, sir.” Hearing this, Kent pulsed quickly. He knew the rest home was prescribed for the cancer patients who were diagnosed without any remedy.”

“Iwill soon die of liver cancer. I come out to say goodbye to my life. Now I will have no regrets before death . Thanks for your help!” the madam made an explanation with smile, walking into a timber room . Kent was dumb for a while. He was chewing what the madam said, happily thinking of her life without any regrets.

冬夜里的最后心愿

肯特是一位水泥经销部的经理。由于下属的背叛，他的公司已经濒临破产。刚才在会议室里，肯特已经向公司董事会作了报告，承认自己的失误，并且暂时停止了所有工程的水泥供应。

当时正值寒冷冬季的深夜。走廊里的温度计显示为零下9度。想着生意惨败，肯特情绪低落，独自驱车驶往一家酒吧。他打算今晚一醉方休。

大街上空无一人。突然，在车子前方出现了一个老妇人侧身站在站台旁，拖着一个便携式的行李箱，提着一个塑料袋。老人看上去已有80多岁，她穿着长袍，瘦弱的身躯，鼻子通红，站在寒风中瑟瑟发抖。此时，她不停地向肯特的车子招手。尽管肯特有些懊恼，也无心理会老人身上发生了什么 ，但不忍把她丢在这寒夜中。肯特想老人可能需要帮助。于是，他刹车停在了老人的面前。

老人说：“先生，您可不可以载我一程?我给你双倍的车费……”

肯特赶忙打断老人的话，说：“不用车费。快上车吧!”

老人又指了指地上的行李：“你可不可以帮我把它们放到车里?” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

肯特忙弯腰用力提起箱子和塑料袋，放进了车里。

他们上路继续向前行驶。肯特路过一家加油站，在加油站排队等候的时候，老人打开了话匣子，“你可不可以先送我到市郊的济贫院的救济呢!”肯特对老人的身份和行为充满迷惑，说“您为什么要选择半夜送过去呢?”老人缓缓地说：“我现在退休了，白天他们不允许我出来，箱子里是我侄子和侄女们穿剩下的夹克、牛仔裤和裤子。”

两个小时的颠簸后，肯特他们走出了济贫院的大门。他继续按照老人指的路线前进。

“先生，请停一停。”老人突然说。这时，她的视线透过车窗久久地停留在了街边一幢破旧的大楼上。“您知道吗，这幢楼顶层的第一间，那是我和丈夫曾经租住的第一间房啊!房东是个好人。那里是我终生第一次使用可视电话的地方!”这时，老人久久凝视的目光中有泪光闪烁。“但是现在，他们都先后离开了我，去了天堂。”肯特这才明白，老人是在追忆昔日的美好时光。他被震撼了，决定放下一切，陪着老人。

接着，他按照老人的要求到了一个高尔夫球场旁边。老人说这里几十年前曾是一个牛奶场。她每天带着袖套、坐垫、罐子、毛巾和其他辅助用具去牛奶场。她的主要工作是挤牛奶、运送并分发牛奶，有时也去饲养奶牛。

“先生，我有些累了，您还是送我去市区的疗养院吧。”老人说。肯特心头一阵惊悸。他知道市中心疗养院是专门收留无法救治的绝症病人的地方。

“我得了肝癌，我的时间已经不多了。这次，我是偷偷地从疗养院溜出来的。因为，我很想亲自向过去的一切告别。这样，在我人生结束的时候就没有遗憾了。非常感谢你的帮助!”老人微笑着解释，走进木房子里。肯特一时无语，他想着老人的话，感到欣慰，因为老人的内心真的没有遗憾了。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Passage 8 Ambition

It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: without demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity. Competition would never enter in; conflict would be eliminated. Tension becomes a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of a heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart. Ah, how unrelieved boring life would be! There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events now. Not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon learns enough on one‟s own. But even the most cynical secretly admits that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.

抱

负

一个缺乏抱负的世界将会怎样，这不难想像。或许，这将是一个更为友善的世界：没有渴求，没有磨擦，没有失望。人们将有时间进行反思。他们所从事的工作将不是为了他们自身，而是为了整个集体。竞争将永远不会介入;冲突将被消除。人们的紧张关系将成为过往云烟。创造的重压将得以终结。艺术将不再惹人费神，其功能将纯粹为了庆典。人的寿命将会更长，因为由激烈拼争引起的心脏病和中风所导致的死亡将越来越少。焦虑将会消失。时光流逝，抱负却早已远离人心。

啊，长此以往人生将变得多么乏味无聊!

有一种盛行的观点认为，成功是一种神话，因此抱负亦属虚幻。这是不是说实际上并不存在成功?成就本身就是一场空?与诸多运动和事件的力量相比，男男女女的努力显得微不足道?显然，并非所有的成功都值得景仰，也并圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

非所有的抱负都值得追求。对值得和不值得的选择，一个人自然而然很快就能学会。但即使是最为愤世嫉俗的人暗地里也承认，成功确实存在，成就的意义举足轻重，而把世上男男女女的所作所为说成是徒劳无功才是真正的无稽之谈。认为成功不存在的观点很可能造成混乱。这种观点的本意是一笔勾销所有提高能力的动机，求取业绩的兴趣和对子孙后代的关注。

我们无法选择出生，无法选择父母，无法选择出生的历史时期与国家或是成长的周遭环境。我们大多数人都无法选择死亡，无法选择死亡的时间或条件。但是在这些无法选择之中，我们的确可以选择自己的生活方式：是勇敢无畏还是胆小怯懦，是光明磊落还是厚颜无耻，是目标坚定还是随波逐流。我们决定生活中哪些至关重要，哪些微不足道。我们决定，用以显示我们自身重要性的，不是我们做了什么，就是我们拒绝做些什么。但是不论世界对我们所作的选择和决定有多么漠不关心，这些选择和决定终究是我们自己作出的。我们决定。我们选择。而当我们决定和选择时，我们的生活便得以形成。最终构筑我们命运的就是抱负之所在。

Passage 9 True love, no expectations

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with a little water and held it before me, and said this: You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes love. As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers around it and try to possess it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds. This is the greatest mistake that people do when 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

they meet love… They try to possess it, they demand, they expect… and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If you have people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don‟t expect. Advise, but don‟t order. Ask, but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring.

真爱，零期待

我曾有个朋友，我们的关系很亲密。有一次我们坐在游泳池边上，她在手掌里盛了点儿水，捧在我面前，说:你仔细看我手上这水了吗?那代表爱。只要你充满关爱地使你的手平展伸开，并允许它保持在那儿，它会永远在那儿。但是，如果你试图把你的手指在它周围合起并试图占有它，它会通过它找到的缝溢出去。这是人们遇到爱时所犯的最大的错误„„他们会试图占有它，他们会要求，他们会期待„„那就会像溢出你的手掌的水一样，爱也会从你身边撤退。 因为爱意味着自由,你不能改变它的本性。

如果你有爱的人，请允许他们自由地存在。要给予而不期待;建议而不命令;请求而不要求。这可能听起来简单，但它需要一辈子去实践。这就是真爱的秘诀。要真正去实践它，你必须对那些你爱的人没有期望，并给予无条件的关爱。

Passage 10 Variety is the source of creativity Variety is the source of creativity. Variety injects the fluid of creativity into the most hollow minds. To ensure a triumphant career, variety combined with flexibility to fit in diverse circumstances is the major truth nowadays. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

No housing can be constructed in one single day. The more one explores, the more different dimensions one will observe which can help to complete a job. It is logical to choose the best way of doing a thing among various available options. Innovation is your own discovering an unusual way to fulfil your aim, which might be an elaborate and perfect scheme, and would yield superb results. Innovation is not something that cannot be realized by us. Belief in yourself and the unique ability of giving concrete shape to your values and ideas are what separate boys from men. It takes a lot of courage to venture into the execution of your ideas. The initial phase is the toughest, for you may not be recognized or comprehended mentally. But survival in tough times is a test of your perseverance, endurance and determination. For undergraduates, they can spice up their lives with variety by focusing on extra activities apart from academic curriculum. It is evident that academics are the golden key to a good career and a secure job, but the books don‟t guide you to become smart in practice. No matter how long you have spent reading on skating, all the reading is useless, unless and until you put it into practice. Extra curricular activities help one to deal with people, and tell one the areas where theoretical theories can‟t be applied in real life and also change the individual‟s perspective and outlook to various problems. Also, time management would become easy by involving one in various activities, because only a busy man can find time.

Variety is the spice of life. Variety could activate the mind to open its creative 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

reserves.

变化是创造力的源泉

变化是创造力的源泉。变化为众多荒芜的心田注入了创造的汁液。变化和适应变化环境的灵活性是当今开创事业成功的必要条件。

罗马并不是一日建成的。你挖掘的越多，就越能够发现完成任务的各种各样的方法和方式。在各种现有的选项中挑选最好的方式才是符合逻辑的。创新是由你自己发现一种可以实现自己目标的独特的做事方式，它可能是事与一套精细完美的方案，并且会产生极好的效果。

创新并不是遥不可及的。相信自己，加上具有将价值观和想法赋予具体形式的独特能力会使我们脱颖而出。实施心中的想法需要很大的勇气去冒险。初期是最艰苦的，你可能会得不到真正的认可和理解。但是在不顺利的时候能否坚持下去，正是对你意志、忍耐力和决心的考验。

大学生可以通过课外活动把生活变得多姿多彩。很明显，学校所学的是通向一个好的职业和稳定工作的金钥匙，但是书本知识并不能让你在实践中变得聪慧。不管花多长时间阅读关于滑冰的书，你若不实践，阅读是毫无用处的。课外活动是帮助人们学习与人打交道的，只了解理论，在生活中的某些领域是行不通的，实践可以改变一个人看待不同问题的视角和观点。同时，通过参与各种不同的也使人更善于管理时间，因为只有忙碌着的人才会努力挤时间。 变化是生活的调味品。变化可以激活思维，开启创造的潜能。

Passage 11 Let Us Smile The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worthwhile, that costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men, will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the sun again. It‟s full of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent. It‟s worth a million dollars, and it doesn‟t cost a cent. There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile. It always has the same good look; it‟s never out of style. It nerves us to try again when failure makes us blue. The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you. It pays the highest interest—for it is merely lent. It‟s worth a million dollars, and it doesn‟t cost a cent. A smile comes very easy—you can wrinkle up with cheer, a hundred times before you can squeeze out a salty tear. It ripples out, moreover, to the heart strings that will tug, and always leaves an echo that is very like a hug. So, smile away! Folks understand what by a smile is meant. It‟s worth a million dollars, and it doesn‟t cost a cent.

让我们微笑吧

那最能赋予生命价值、代价最廉而回报最多的东西，不过是一个令人愉悦的微笑而已。

由衷地热爱同胞的微笑，会驱走心头阴郁的乌云，心底收获一轮夕阳。

它充满价值和美好，混合着坚毅的仁爱之心。它价值连城却不花一文。

当我们看到喜悦的微笑，忧伤就会一扫而光。它始终面容姣好，永不落伍;失败令我们沮丧之时，它鼓励我们再次尝试。 鼓励的笑靥于你我大有裨益。它支付的利息高昂无比——只因它是种借贷形式。它价值连城却不花一文。 来一个微笑很容易——嘴角欢快地翘起来，你能百次微笑，可难得挤出一圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

滴泪;它的涟漪深深波及心弦，总会留下回响，宛若拥抱。 继续微笑吧!谁都懂得它意味着什么。它价值连城却不花一文。

Passage 12 If the Dream is Big Enough I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during recess. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood out from them all. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she said, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship. I like basketball. I decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don‟t count. ” Then she smiled and ran towards the court to recap the routine I had seen over and over again. Well, I had to give up to her—she was determined. I watched her through those junior years and into high school. Every week, she led her varsity team to victory. One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

what was wrong. “Oh, nothing, ” came a soft reply. “I am just too short. ” The coach told her that at 5′5〞she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team— much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship, that nothing could stop her except one thing—her own attitude. He told her again, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don‟t count. ” The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college recruiter. She was indeed offered a scholarship, a full ride, to a Division 1, NCAA women‟s basketball team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.

为了心中的梦想

我以前常常从厨房的窗户看到她穿梭于操场上的一群男孩子中间，她显得那么矮小。学校在我家的街对面，我可以经常看到孩子们在下课时间玩耍。尽管有一大群孩子，但我觉得她跟其他的孩子截然不同。我记得第一天看到她打篮球的情景。看着她在其他孩子旁边兜来转去，我感到十分惊奇。她总是尽力地跳起投篮，球恰好越过那些孩子的头顶飞入篮筐。那些男孩总是拼命地阻止她，但没有人可以做得到。我开始注意到她有时候一个人打球。她一遍遍地练习运球和投篮，有时直到天黑。有一天我问她为什么这么刻苦地练习。她直视着我的眼睛，不假思索地说: “我想上大学。只有获得奖学金我才能上大学。我喜欢打篮球，我想只要我打得好，我就能获得奖学金。我要到大学去打篮球。圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

我想成为最棒的球员。我爸爸告诉我说，心中有目标，风雨不折腰。”说完她笑了笑，跑向篮球场，又开始我之前见过的一遍又一遍的练习。 嘿，我服了她了——她是下定决心了。这些年我看着她从初中升到高中。每个星期，她带领的学校篮球队都能够获胜。

高中那会儿的某一天，我看见她坐在草地上，头埋在臂弯里。我穿过街道，坐到她旁边的清凉的草地上。我轻轻地问出什么事了。“哦，没什么，”她轻声回答，“只是我太矮了。”原来篮球教练告诉她，以五英尺五英寸的身材，她几乎是没有机会到一流球队去打球——更不用说会获得奖学金了——所以她应该放弃上大学的梦想。她很伤心，我也觉得自己的喉咙发紧，因为我感觉到了她的失望。我问她是否与她的爸爸谈过这件事。她从臂弯里抬起头，告诉我，她爸爸说那些教练错了。他们根本不懂得梦想的力量。他告诉她，如果她真的想到一个好的大学去打篮球，如果她真的想获得奖学金，任何东西也不能阻止她，除非她自己不愿意。他又一次跟她说：“心中有目标，风雨不折腰。”第二年，当她和她的球队去参加北加利福尼亚州冠军赛时，她被一位大学的招生人员看中了。她真的获得了奖学金，一个全面资助的奖学金，并且进入美国全国大学体育协会一级联赛的一支女子篮球队。她将接受她曾梦想并为之奋斗多年的大学教育。

Passage 13

Just for today Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a life time.

Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. ” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my “luck” as it comes. Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don‟t want to do—just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it. Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself. Just for today I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision. Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life. Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.

就为今天

就为了今天，我将尽力只度过今天而不立刻去解决终身的问题。对一件令我恐慌而又必须坚持一辈子的事，我能坚持十二个小时。 就为了今天，我会很快乐。亚伯拉罕·林肯说过，“对于大多数人而言，他们认定自己有多幸福，就有多幸福。”这已经被认为是真理。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

就为了今天，我会做自我调整适应事物本来的面目，而不是想方设法使每一件事满足自己的欲望。当“幸运”来临时我会抓住它。 就为了今天，我会尽力心强志坚。我会学习，学一些有用的东西。我不会做一个精神上的流浪汉。我会读一些需要努力、思考和专注的东西。

就为了今天，我会用三种方法来磨炼我的灵魂。我会做对某人有利的事但不能被发现，若有人发现了就不算数。我将会做至少两件我不愿做的事情 ——只为了磨炼。我不会让任何人感到我的感情受到了伤害：它们可能受到了伤害，但今天我不会表现出来。 就为了今天，我会过得很惬意。我会尽力达到最佳状态，穿着得体、讲话谦虚、行为礼貌、一点不吹毛求疵，尽量改进和调节自己而不是别人。 就为了今天，我会制定一个计划，我也许不会严格地遵守它，但我一定要有计划。我会避免两种错误：仓促行事和优柔寡断。 就为了今天，我将会独自静静地呆上半小时放松。在这半小时里，某个时刻，我会对我日后的生活有个更好的看法。 就为了今天，我将不再害怕。尤其我不会再害怕享受美丽的事物，并且相信我给予世界的，世界也会给予我。

Passage 14 Making Sandcastles A little boy is on his knees scooping and packing the sand with plastic shovels into a bright blue bucket. Then he upends the bucket on the surface and lifts it. And, to the delight of the little architect, a castle tower is created. All afternoon he will work，scooping out the moat and packing the walls. Bottle tops will be sentries. Sticks will be bridges. A sandcastle will be 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

built.

Big city, busy streets, rumbling traffic.

A man is in his office. At his desk he puts papers into stacks and assigns tasks. The phone is on his shoulder and he is knocking the keyboard with his fingers. Contracts are signed and much to the delight of the man, a profit is made. All his life he will work，formulating the plans, forecasting the future. Profits will be sentries. Capital gains will be bridges. An empire will be built. Two builders of two castles. They have much in common. They shape little pebbles into grand buildings. They are diligent and determined. And for both the tide will rise and the end will come. Yet that is where the similarities stop. For the boy sees the end while the man ignores it. As the waves near, the wise child jumps to his feet and begins to clap. There is no sorrow. No fear. No regret. He knew this would happen. He is not surprised. And when the great breaker crashes into his castle and his masterpiece is sucked into the sea, he smiles, picks up his tools, takes his father‟s hand, and goes home. The grownup, however, is not so wise. As the wave of years collapses on his castle he is terrified. He tries to protect the sandy monument. He blocks the waves from the walls he has made. Salt-water soaked and shivering he snarls at the incoming tide.

“It‟s my castle, ” he protests.

The ocean need not respond. Both know to whom the sand belongs. . . I don‟t know much about sandcastles. But children do. Watch them and learn. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Go ahead and build, but build with a child‟s heart. When the sun sets and the tides take——applaud. Salute the process of life and go home.

堆沙堡的小男孩

一个小男孩跪在那儿用塑料铲挖沙子，并把沙子装在一个鲜艳的蓝桶里。然后他把蓝桶倒扣在地上，把它提起。让这小建筑师高兴的是：一座城堡的塔楼就这样诞生了。 他会干一下午：挖护城河，建城墙，用瓶盖做岗哨，用木棍做桥，就这样，一座城堡建成了。

某个大城市，喧嚣的街道，川流不息的交通。

办公室里有一位男士。坐在办公桌前，他把文件堆叠在一起，布置任务。他将电话夹在肩头，手指敲击键盘。合同签字生效，让这位男士高兴的是，一笔利润就这样到手了。 他一生都会工作：构想计划，预测未来。利润就是岗哨，资本收益就是桥梁。一个帝国就这样建成了。 这两座城堡的建筑者有许多共同之处。他们会把细小的沙石变成宏伟的建筑。他们很用心也很有决心，而对于他们两个而言，涨潮都会发生，一切都会结束。然而，共同点到此为止。因为，男孩看得到终点，而这位成年人却忽视它。 巨浪来临时，聪明的男孩欢呼，跳跃。没有痛苦，没有恐惧，没有遗憾。他知道这一切都会发生，他并不感到惊讶。 当这巨大的破坏者击碎他的城堡，将他的杰作卷入大海，男孩笑了，收拾好他的工具，拉着父亲的手，回家。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

然而，这位成年人却并不如此明智，当岁月的巨浪击毁他的城堡，他害怕了，他试图保护这沙质纪念碑。他试图阻止巨浪袭击他建的城墙。咸的海水将他的城堡湮没。他颤抖着怒骂涌入的浪潮。

“这是我的城堡，”他抗议道。

海洋不需要回应。两者都明白沙子的归宿。

我对沙堡所知甚少。

但孩子们知道，他看他们，学习他们。 去建造吧，带着一颗童心。

当太阳落山，潮水占领沙滩——拍手喝彩， 向生命的过程敬礼，回家。

Passage 15 I’m Special

In the entire world there‟s nobody like me. Since the beginning of time, there has never been another person like me. Nobody has my smile. Nobody has my eyes, my nose, my hair, my hands, or my voice. I‟m special.

No one can be found who has my handwriting. Nobody anywhere has my tastes—for food or music or art. No one sees things just as I do. In all of time there‟s been no one who laughs like me, no one who cries like me. And what makes me laugh and cry will never provoke identical laughters and tears from anybody else, never. No one reacts to any situation just as I would react. I‟m special. I‟ m the only one in all of creation who has my set of abilities. Oh, there will always be somebody who is better at one of the things I‟m good at, but no one in the 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

universe can reach the quality of my combination of talents, ideas, abilities and feelings. Like a room full of musical instruments, some may excel alone, but none can match the symphony sound when all are played together. I‟m a symphony. Through all of eternity no one will ever look, talk, walk, think or do like me. I‟m special. I‟m rare. And, in all rarity there is great value. Because of my great rare value, I need not attempt to imitate others. I will accept—yes, indeed, celebrate—my differences. I‟m special. And I‟m beginning to realize it‟s no accident that I‟m special. I‟m beginning to see that I have been made for a very special purpose. There is a job for me that no one else can do as well as I. Out of all the billions of job applicants, only one is qualified, only one has the right combination of what it takes. That one is me. Because. . . I‟m special.

我就是我

大千世界，芸芸众生，没人与我相同。自创世伊始，从未有过像我一样的人。没人拥有和我一样的笑容;没人拥有和我一样的眼睛、鼻子、头发、双手或声音。 我就是我。 我的笔迹独一无二。我的品味与众不同——不管是对于食物、音乐还是艺术。对于世间万物，我拥有独特的视角。无论何时，都没有人欢笑如我，哭泣如我。让我开心和流泪的事物不会引起他人相同的反应，绝对不会。面对各种处境，我也有自己独特的应对方式。我就是我。 在天地万物中，我的能力组合独具一格。哦，我所擅长之处，必有人技高一筹。但是，世界上没有人能像我一样，将天赋、思想、能力和感觉如此独特地结合在一起。好比一间放满乐器的房间，某件乐器可能会一鸣惊人，但所有圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

乐器共同奏出的交响乐才无与伦比。我就是一曲交响乐。 亘古恒远，没有人会像我一样地观察、交谈、行走、思考或行事。 我就是我。独一无二。 而且，独特中蕴含着巨大的价值。因为这独特而又巨大的价值，我不需要去模仿他人。我会欣然接受——更确切地说是赞美——我的与众不同。我就是我。我渐渐理解，我之所以独特并非机缘巧合。我开始明白，造物主为我创设了一个特定的目标。有一份工作是为我量身定制的，他人无法胜任。在数以亿计的求职者中，只有一个人是合格的，只有一个人具备恰如其分的条件。那个人就是我。因为„„ 我就是我。

Passage 16 Write Your Own Life Suppose someone gave you a pen—a sealed, solid-colored pen. You couldn‟t see how much ink it had. It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don‟t know before you begin. Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance!

Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused. But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game? Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing? Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

take you? Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe (or pretend to believe) that the pen will write forever and proceed accordingly?

Passage 17 Prayer for My Mother Dear God, Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them。 I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen。 How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes her mother really is? How does a grown woman thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice (when asked) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying, “I told you so”, when she could have uttered these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself—loving, thoughtful, patient and forgiving? I don‟t know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine。

为母亲祈祷

亲爱的上帝： 如今我已不再年轻，一些朋友的母亲已经去世了。我曾听这些子女们说过，他们从没有向母亲充分表达过他们的感激之情，而待到要告诉时为时已晚了。 幸运的是，我亲爱的母亲依然健在。我对她的感激与日俱增。母亲没有变，而我却变了。随着年岁的增长，我越来越懂事了，我认识到她是个非常了不起的人。这些话在她面前我难以启齿，但在笔下却可以轻易地写出来，这令我感到多么难过。 一个女儿该怎样开口感谢她的母亲所给予的生命?感谢她在抚养孩子时所付出的爱、耐心以及平凡的无私的辛劳?感谢她跟在蹒跚学步的孩子身后奔跑，对情绪不定的少女的理解，以及对一个自以为是的大学生的宽容?感谢她等待女儿认识到她真是一位好母亲的这一天? 一个成年女子该怎样感谢母亲依然如故的角色?感谢(在被问到时)她会及时提供良言，而在不需要时她会保持沉默?感谢她没有说：“我告诉过你”，而她本来可以说上许多次?感谢她始终不变的爱心、体贴周到、耐心与宽容厚道? 我不知道该怎样来表达，亲爱的上帝，除了请求你好好地保佑她——那是她该得到的——并帮助我朝她做出的榜样看齐。我祈愿在我的孩子们的眼里我会如同母亲在我眼里一般好。

Passage 18 Always Aim Higher Always aim higher than you believe you can reach. So often, you‟ll discover that

一个女儿

when your talents are set free by your imagination, you can achieve any goal. If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it gratefully. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

You can learn much from those who have gone before you. But never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and head off in your own direction if your heart tells you that it‟s the right way for you. Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and determination. You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.

设立更高远的目标

总是设立比你认为力所能及的更高远的目标。通常，你会发现，当想像力放飞了你的才能时，你就能实现任何目标。 在你的人生历程中，如果有人给予你帮助或传授你智慧，你要心怀感激地接受。你可以从前辈那里学到很多宝贵的东西。但是，当你的内心已经明确知道怎样的路才是真正适合你的时候，要敢于脱离既定的轨道去追求你自己的方向，不要害怕或迟疑。 永远相信：无论你做什么，你终究会成功，并且不要忘记坚持、自律和决心的价值。你注定会成为你梦想要成为的那个人。

Passage 19 Would Rather Complain, Or Be Happy? If we really want to be happy, why do we act like such babies? We can claim to be proactive in our life by settings goals and going after what we want. But if we‟re always whining and complaining all the time, are we really living effectively? If you don‟t believe me, count how many times you complain about something or others in one day. Whether it is being stuck in traffic, being bothered by the weather, 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

not enough mustard on your sandwich, or whatever it is, there are endless instances where you can find a reason to complain. But it‟s not just outside circumstances that we complain about. We complain about ourselves too. We complain that we don‟t have enough time, that we don‟t have enough money (this one is huge because it‟s often “true”), that we‟re not smart enough, cool enough, or just enough.

I know I‟ve experienced plenty of unpleasantness due to complaining about things I can‟t control. I never really thought about it much until I found this website about “living in a complain-free world. ” Imagine how much happier you would be if you simply stopped complaining. Much of what you complain about is outside of your control anyway. What‟s the point of brooding about something you have no power to change? Not very intelligent, if you ask me. Simply becoming conscious of how much you complain is the first step to stopping. When you recognize that you‟re complaining, stop and take notice of it. Ask yourself if you would rather complain, or be happy.

要抱怨，还是要快乐?

如果我们真得想要高兴，为什么要像小孩子那样呢?

我们可以积极主动地在我们生活中设定目标，然后向着目标进发。但是如果我们整天牢骚满腹，怨天尤人的话，我们还能有效地生活吗? 如果你不相信我，仔细想想你一天要抱怨几次。不管是因为被糟糕的交通困住，被天气所困扰，还是三明治上芥末放得不够，总之生活中有无数的烦心事可以让你抱怨。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

不仅仅外部的环境让我们抱怨，我们还不断地抱怨我们自己。比如时间不够多啊，钱不够花啊(这个最多，因为它往往更“真实”)，不够聪明不够冷静啊，反正什么看上去都不够好。 我知道，因为抱怨自己不能控制的事情，我已经历了许多的不开心。我没有仔细思考过这个问题，直到有一天我发现这个叫“活在没有抱怨的世界中”的网站。 想想吧，如果你停止抱怨的话你会变得多么快乐。反正那些事情又无力改变，整天想着那些你无力改变的事情又有什么意义呢?如果你来问我，我会说那样很愚蠢。 停止抱怨要做的第一步就是想清楚你有多能抱怨。当你意识到自己在抱怨的时候，停下来，问问自己是要变得快乐还是继续这样抱怨下去。

Passage 20 Life Is Like a Cup of Coffee A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some exquisite—telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said,

“If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. ” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

“Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. ” “What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you unconsciously went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each other‟s cup.”

“Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups! Don‟t let the cups drive you . . . enjoy the coffee instead. ”

生命如同一杯咖啡

一群毕业生，相约一起去看望他们年老的大学教授。

谈话一会儿就变成了各自对工作和生活压力的抱怨。在用咖啡招待这些客人时，教授去厨房端来一大壶咖啡，并拿出各式各样的咖啡杯——陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有看上去普通的、有价值不菲的、有做工精细的——让他们自己倒咖啡喝。

当所有学生手中都端了一杯咖啡后，教授发话了：

“如果你们注意一下，就会发现所有好看的昂贵的杯子都被挑走了，剩下的只是那些普通的和便宜的。当然，每个人都只想拥有最好的，这很正常，但这也是你们的问题和压力的根源所在。” “可以肯定的是，杯子本身与咖啡质量毫无关系。在很多时候，杯子让咖啡更昂贵，某些时候，甚至让我们看不清我们要喝的是什么。” “其实你们真正想要的是咖啡，而不是杯子，但你们却又都下意识去挑选最好的杯子，并观察别人拿到的杯子。” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

“现在设想一下：如果生活是杯中的咖啡，工作、财富和社会地位就是那些杯子。它们只是维持生活的工具而已，并不能界定或是改变生活的质量。有时候，我们在过于关注杯子的同时却忘记了去品味上帝赐予的咖啡。请仔细品味咖啡，而不是那些杯子。所以，不要成为杯子的奴隶„„好好品味杯中的咖啡。”

Passage 21 Life Is Like a Cafeteria A friend‟s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After settling down at Ellis Island,

he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan to get something to eat.

He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did.

Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him how a cafeteria worked. “Start out at that end, ” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they‟ll tell you how much you have to pay. ” “I soon learned that‟s how everything works in America, ” the grandfather told a friend.

“Life‟s like a cafeteria here.

You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success,

but you‟ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself. ”

生活就像自助餐

一个朋友的祖父从东欧来到美国。 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

在埃利斯岛安顿下来后，

他去曼哈顿下城的一家自助餐厅吃饭。

他在一张空桌子边坐下，等待侍者拿来菜单。

当然没有人来招呼他。

最后，一位女士拿着满满一托盘食物走过来坐在他对面。并告诉他自助餐厅是怎样进餐的。 她说：“从那头开始，依次去要你想要的东西，在餐厅的另外一端会有人告诉你该付多少钱。”

他对一个朋友说：“接着我很快了解到这就是美国人的生活方式。”

“生活就像自助餐，

你可以去要你想要的任何东西，只要你能付得起他们的价格。

你也可以想要成功，但是如果你什么都不做就等着别人把它送到你身边的话是永远都不可能得到的。 你必须勤劳，必须自己去追求它。”

Passage 22 Growth When we plant a rose seed in the earth, we notice it is small, but we do not criticize it as “rootless and stemless. ” We treat it as a seed, giving it the water and nourishment required of a seed. When it first shoots up out of the earth, we don‟t condemn it as immature and underdeveloped, nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear. We stand in wonder at the process taking place, and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development.

The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.

A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is the same thing—a flower in the process of expressing its potential.

成长

一粒微小的玫瑰花子被植入土壤中时，我们并不因它“无根无茎”而加以批评。我们把它当作一粒种子来对待，施予它所需的水分和养料。 当它刚刚破土而出时，我们不因它幼稚、发育不良而诋毁它;当出现花蕾时，我们也不因它们不绽放而责备它。我们会惊喜地目睹整个过程。在它成长的不同阶段，给予它所需的照顾。 玫瑰，从一粒种子开始，到凋零，直至死亡，始终是玫瑰。在它生命的每时每刻，体内都蕴藏着巨大的潜能。它似乎总在不断地变化，但是在任何阶段，任何时刻，都是最真实、最完美的。 一朵花，在每一阶段都是相同的，无论是尽情绽放的花朵还是含苞欲放的花蕾，都是这朵花——一朵时刻展现自己潜能的花。

Passage 23 Chances Exist In the Daily Details John and Bobby joined a wholesale company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to the position of manager while John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it any more. He tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him. The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought for a 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

moment and said, “Thank you for your criticism, but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your mind and take back your resignation. ” John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelon. The boss asked how much per kg. John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to inform the boss $1. 2 per kg. Boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelon in the market. Bobby went, returned and said, “Boss, only one person selling watermelon. $1. 2 per kg, $10 for 10kg. He has inventory of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons; every melon weights about 2 kg, bought from the South two days ago. They are fresh and red, good quality.” John was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided not to resign but to learn from Bobby. My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, thinks more and explores in depth. Chances exist in the daily details. For the same matter, a more successful person sees more and further so that he can find out an opportunity and catch it to realize his aim. If a person sees one year ahead, while another sees only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times. How could you win?

机遇在于生活的细节

约翰和博比同年大学毕业后，被同一家批发公司录用。他们二人工作都很圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

努力。然而，几年后，老板提拔博比为部门经理，而约翰还是一名普通员工。约翰再也无法忍受，冲动之下向老板递交了辞呈，并抱怨老板不会用人，不重用那些敬业的员工，只提拔那些奉承他的人。 老板知道这几年约翰工作确实很努力。他想了一会儿说：“谢谢你对我的批评。但是我有一个请求，我希望在你离开之前再为公司做一件事情。或许到时你会改变决定，收回辞呈。” 约翰答应了。 老板让他去市场找到一个卖西瓜的人。约翰去了并很快回来。他说他找到了一个卖西瓜的人。老板问他每公斤多少钱。约翰摇摇头，回到市场去问，然后又回来告诉老板每公斤1. 2美元。 老板让约翰等一会儿，这时他把博比叫到办公室。他让博比去市场找到一个卖西瓜的人。博比去了，回来之后说：“老板，只有一个卖西瓜的人，每公斤 1. 2美元，每10公斤卖10美元。这个人一共有340个西瓜，其中58个放在货架上，每个西瓜重约2公斤，都是两天前从南方买来的，新鲜，红瓤，质量好。” 约翰受到很大的触动，他意识到自己与博比之间的差距。他决定收回辞呈并向博比学习。

亲爱的朋友们，成功的人更善于观察，勤于思考和孜孜探求。机遇就存在于生活的细节中。同样的一件事，一个成功的人会看得更多更远，所以他能抓住机遇，实现梦想。如果有人看到一年后的情景，而你只看到明天。一年与一天的差距是365倍，你怎么能赢呢?

Passage 24 With One Glass of Milk One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods from door to door found that he had only one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don‟t owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.

Years later, the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to a big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room. Dressed in his doctor‟s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to her case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words， “Paid in full with one glass of milk.” 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently, “Thank You, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands. ”

一杯牛奶的温暖

一天，一个可怜的小男孩儿为凑足学费正挨家挨户地推销商品。他发现身上只剩一角钱了，此时他很饿，因此决定从下一家要点儿吃的。

然而，当一位年轻貌美的女子打开门时，他却紧张得不知所措。他没有要吃的，只是要了口水喝。女子看到小男孩儿饥饿的样子，顿生怜悯之心，便倒了一大杯牛奶递给他。他慢慢地喝光了牛奶，问道：“我需要付您多少钱呢?”

“你不必付钱给我，”女子答道，“妈妈教育我说，爱心善举，不求回报。”男孩说：“那么我就发自内心地向您说声谢谢!”当霍华德· 凯利走出这户人家时，他不仅觉得浑身充满了力量，也对上帝和整个人类充满了信心。原本，他就要放弃。

若干年后，那位女子得了重病，当地医生都束手无策。最后，她转院到大城市，接受专家会诊。著名的霍华德·凯利医生也参与了医疗方案的制定。当他得知这位病人来自那个城镇时，一个奇怪的念头闪过，他立即起身直奔她的病房。

身着白大褂的凯利医生走进了病房，一眼便认出了那个女子，她正是他的恩人。回到诊室，他下定决心要竭尽全力医治她。从那天起，他就对她给予了特殊的照顾。

经过艰苦卓绝的努力，手术终获成功。凯利医生要求把医药费结算单送到他那儿。他看了一下，便在旁边写了一些东西。当结算单送到女子的病房时，她甚至不敢打开来看，因为她知道这笔医药费一定极其昂贵，或许她要用整个圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

余生去偿还。最后，她还是鼓足勇气打开了看，她注意到单子旁边的一行小字，上面写着：

“医药费已由一杯牛奶付清。” (署名)霍华德·凯利医生

喜悦的泪水夺眶而出，她不禁默默祈祷：“感谢您，上帝!您的爱已经通过人类的心灵和双手传递开来。”

Passage 25 Sow an Action, Reap a Habit Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny, ” the maxim goes.

Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken. ” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn‟t a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.

Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to the earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles. 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull—more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply embedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.

Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.

卓越仅仅是个习惯

人的性格基本上是由习惯组成的。正如一句格言：思想决定行动，行动决定习惯，习惯决定性格，性格决定命运。 习惯对我们的生活有很大的影响，因为它是一贯的。 在不知不觉中， 经年累月地影响着我们的性格，左右着我们的成败。 美国著名教育家霍拉斯·曼曾说：“习惯就仿佛是一条缆绳，我们每天为它缠上一股新索，不用多久就会变得牢不可破。”这句话的后半段我不敢苟同，我相信习惯可以养成，也可以打破，但绝不是一蹴而就，而是需要长期的努力和无比的毅力。 宇航员搭乘阿波罗11号太空船，首次登陆月球的刹那的确令人叹为观止。但宇航员得先摆脱地球强大的引力，才能飞往月球。因此在刚起飞的几分钟，圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌

也就是整个任务一开始的几英里之内，是最艰难的时刻，所耗的力量往往超越往后的几十万英里。 习惯也是一样，它也具有极大的引力，只是许多人不加注意或不肯承认罢了。想要革除诸如因循苟且，缺乏耐心，吹毛求疵或自私自利等违背人类效率基本原则的不良习性，若是缺乏意志力，不能大刀阔斧地改革，便难以实现目标。“起飞”需要极大的努力，然而一旦脱离重力的牵绊，我们便可享受前所未有的自由。 习惯的引力就如同自然界所有的力量一般，可能危害我们，也可以为我们所用，关键看我们如何运用。习惯或许一时有碍于达到目标，但也有积极的一面。宇宙万物各循轨道运行，彼此保持一定的秩序，毕竟也都有赖于引力的作用。所以只要我们善于运用习惯的庞大引力，就能使生活有重心，有秩序，有效率。

Passage 26 Love Is a Two-way Street A father sat at his desk poring over his monthly bills when his young son rushed in and announced, “Dad, because this is your birthday and you‟re 55 years old, I‟m going to give you 55 kisses, one for each year! ” When the boy started making good on his word, the father exclaimed, “Oh, Andrew, don‟t do it now; I‟m too busy! ”

The youngster immediately fell silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes. Apologically the father said, “You can finish later.”

The boy said nothing but quietly walked away, disappointment written over his face. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew! ” But
