青春勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)經(jīng)典小短文篇1：利用好你的錯(cuò)誤

Mistakes and errors are the disciplined true which we advance in life.Mistakes are great teachers.Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes in the pursuit of their goals and aspirations, and who are able to learn from those mistakes.And in order to learn from mistakes you must be willing to pay for them.Mistakes can be enormously valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you deprive yourself of the opportunity to learn from them.When something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else to blame, but what does that really accomplish?

Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they demand a cost that must be paid.The person who learns the most from a mistake is the person who pays the price for that mistake.When you make a mistake, the lastthing you want to do is run away from it.You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it.The mistake has been made, so make the most of it.Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long.Remember the reason for it, and then look forward.Mistakes are lessons of wisdom.The past cannot be changed.The present is still in your power.Take full advantage of your mistakes to achieve your goals and aspirations.[參考譯文]

過(guò)失和錯(cuò)誤讓我們辨別是非,幫助我們前進(jìn)。錯(cuò)誤是偉大的老師。成功總是眷顧那些敢于冒著犯錯(cuò)的危險(xiǎn)去追求他們的目標(biāo)和理想,并善于從錯(cuò)誤中吸取教訓(xùn)的人。為了從過(guò)失中吸取教訓(xùn),你必須愿意為之付出代價(jià)。

錯(cuò)誤可能具有巨大的價(jià)值,但是如果你想讓別人來(lái)為你的錯(cuò)誤付出代價(jià),那你就喪失了從錯(cuò)誤中學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)。當(dāng)出了差錯(cuò)時(shí),去責(zé)備他人總是很容易的。但是那又有什么用呢?

錯(cuò)誤的價(jià)值在很大程度上體現(xiàn)為人們必須為所犯的錯(cuò)誤付出代價(jià)。從錯(cuò)誤中學(xué)到最多的那個(gè)人就是為之付出代價(jià)的人。

當(dāng)你犯錯(cuò)時(shí),你最不應(yīng)該做的事情就是逃避錯(cuò)誤。你需要接受這個(gè)事實(shí),因?yàn)槟憧梢詮闹形『芏嘟逃?xùn)。既然已經(jīng)犯了錯(cuò)誤,就最大限度地利用它。付出代價(jià)、得到教訓(xùn)并成長(zhǎng)得更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。

當(dāng)你犯錯(cuò)時(shí),不要總放在心上。記住犯錯(cuò)的原因,然后向前看。犯錯(cuò)是智慧的課程。過(guò)去無(wú)法改變?，F(xiàn)在仍在你的手中。利用好你的錯(cuò)誤,來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)和理想。

青春勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)經(jīng)典小短文篇2：好好想想

Think it Over

Today we have higher buildings and wider highways,but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view;

We spend more,but enjoy less;

We have bigger houses,but smaller famillies;

We have more compromises,but less time;

We have more knowledge,but less judgment;

We have more medicines,but less health;

We have multiplied out possessions,but reduced out values;

We talk much,we love only a little,and we hate too much;

We reached the Moon and came back,but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors;

We have conquered the uter space,but not our inner space;

We have highter income,but less morals;

These are times with more liberty,but less joy;

We have much more food,but less nutrition;

These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home,but divorces increase;

These are times of finer houses,but more broken homes;

That's why I propose,that as of today;

You do not keep anything for a special occasion.because every day that you live is a SPECIAL OCCASION.Search for knowledge,read more ,sit on your porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs;

Spend more time with your family and friends,eat your favorite foods,visit the places you love;

Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment;not only about survival;

Use your crystal goblets.Do not save your best perfume,and use it every time you feel you want it.Remove from your vocabulary phrases like“one of these days”or “someday”;

Let's write that letter we thought of writing “one of these days”!

Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them;

Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life;

Every day,every hour,and every minute is special;

And you don't know if it will be your last.[參考譯文]

今天我們擁有了更高層的樓宇以及更寬闊的公路，但是我們的性情卻更為急躁，眼光也更加狹隘;

我們消耗的更多，享受到的卻更少;

我們的住房更大了，但我們的家庭卻更小了;

我們妥協(xié)更多，時(shí)間更少;

我們擁有了更多的知識(shí)，可判斷力卻更差了;

我們有了更多的藥品，但健康狀況卻更不如意;

我們擁有的財(cái)富倍增，但其價(jià)值卻減少了;

我們說(shuō)的多了，愛(ài)的卻少了，我們的仇恨也更多了;

我們可以往返月球，但卻難以邁出一步去親近我們的左鄰右舍;

我們可以征服外太空，卻征服不了我們的內(nèi)心;

我們的收入增加了，但我們的道德卻少了;

我們的時(shí)代更加自由了，但我們擁有的快樂(lè)時(shí)光卻越來(lái)越少;

我們有了更多的食物，但所能得到的營(yíng)養(yǎng)卻越來(lái)越少了;

現(xiàn)在每個(gè)家庭都可以有雙份收入，但離婚的現(xiàn)象越來(lái)越多了;

現(xiàn)在的住房越來(lái)越精致，但我們也有了更多破碎的家庭;

這就是我為什么要說(shuō)，讓我們從今天開(kāi)始;

不要將你的東西為了某一個(gè)特別的時(shí)刻而預(yù)留著，因?yàn)槟闵畹拿恳惶於际悄敲刺貏e;

尋找更我的知識(shí)，多讀一些書(shū)，坐在你家的前廊里，以贊美的眼光去享受眼前的風(fēng)景，不要帶上任何功利的想法;

花多點(diǎn)時(shí)間和朋友與家人在一起，吃你愛(ài)吃的食物，去你想去的地方;

生活是一串串的快樂(lè)時(shí)光;我們不僅僅是為了生存而生存;

舉起你的水晶酒杯吧。不要吝嗇灑上你最好的香水，你想用的時(shí)候就享用吧!

從你的詞匯庫(kù)中移去所謂的“有那么一天”或者“某一天”;

曾打算“有那么一天”去寫(xiě)的信，就在今天吧!

告訴家人和朋友，我們是多么地愛(ài)他們;

不要延遲任何可以給你的生活帶來(lái)歡笑與快樂(lè)的事情;

每一天、每一小時(shí)、每一分鐘都是那么特別;

你無(wú)從知道這是否最后刻。

青春勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)經(jīng)典小短文篇3：讓我們成為更有愛(ài)心的人

The More Loving One

by W.H.Auden/W.H.Looking up at the stars, I know quite well

That, for all they care, I can go to hell,But on earth indifference is the least

We have to dread from man or beast.How should we like it were stars to burn

With a passion for us we could not return?

If equal affection cannot be,Let the more loving one be me.Admirer as I think I am

Of stars that do not give a damn,I cannot, now I see them ,say

I missed one terribly all day.Were all stars to disappear or die

I should learn to look at an empty sky

And feel its total dark sublime,Though this might take me a little time.[參考譯文]

讓我們成為更有愛(ài)心的人

--W.H.奧登

仰望群星的時(shí)分，我一清二楚，盡管它們關(guān)懷備至，我亦有可能赴地府，可是塵世間我們絲毫不必畏懼

人類(lèi)或禽獸的那份冷漠。

倘若群星燃燒著關(guān)懷我們的激情，我們卻無(wú)法回報(bào)，我們作何感想?

倘若無(wú)法產(chǎn)生同樣的感情，讓我成為更有愛(ài)心的人。

盡管我自視為群星的崇拜者，它們滿不在乎，現(xiàn)在我看群星，我卻難以啟齒，說(shuō)我成天思念一顆星星。

倘若所有的星星消失或者消亡，我應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)仰望空蕩的天空，同時(shí)感受天空一片漆黑的崇高，雖然這樣可能要花費(fèi)一點(diǎn)時(shí)間。

第二篇：英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志小短文

勵(lì)志小短文三：A Better Tomorrow People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars? We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen.Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do.If we are ever to create lasting peace, we

must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth.History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past.These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.The main purpose of history is to create a better world.History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.In short, history helps us learn.Yesterday’s records can keep us from

repeating yesterday’s mistakes.And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.翻譯：一個(gè)更好的明天

英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志短文人們常常心存疑慮,為什么歷史學(xué)家要費(fèi)盡周折地保存數(shù)以萬(wàn)計(jì)的書(shū)籍、文獻(xiàn)和記錄。

我們?yōu)槭裁匆袌D書(shū)館呢？這些文獻(xiàn)和史書(shū)有何用處呢? 我們?yōu)槭裁匆涊d并保存人類(lèi)的行為、政府官員的談判和戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中的事件呢？

我們這么做的原因在于有時(shí)候經(jīng)驗(yàn)之音能促使我們停步、觀察和傾聽(tīng)。也因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)候過(guò)

去的記載經(jīng)過(guò)正確地詮釋,能幫助我們決定何事可為、何事不可為。如果我們想要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造永久的和平,我們就必須從人類(lèi)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)以及人類(lèi)歷史的記載中去探索其淵源。

從體現(xiàn)男性和女性勇敢和奉獻(xiàn)精神的故事之中,我們獲得了青春的啟示。英語(yǔ)短文歷史記載著人類(lèi)的一切苦難、克己、忠誠(chéng)和英勇的事跡。這些記載在我們困惑和渴望和平時(shí)能對(duì)我們有所幫助。

歷史的主要目的是創(chuàng)造一個(gè)更加美好的世界。歷史對(duì)那些力主戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的人給以警告,給予那些尋求和平的人以啟示。

簡(jiǎn)而言之,歷史幫助我們學(xué)習(xí)。昨日的記載可以使我們避免重蹈覆轍。這些歷史學(xué)家們創(chuàng)

作的像馬賽克一樣色彩繽紛的歷史片斷匯聚成了代表人類(lèi)進(jìn)步的偉大壁畫(huà)。

第三篇：英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志小短文

勵(lì)志小短文二：The Power of the Dream When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you.Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.At every turn we come across its mystery.At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become.In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.Believe in your faith.Set the vision before your eyes.Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream.It may take

one season or more, but the result is the same.Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities.The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible.For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside.But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.Dreaming is an act of faith.The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world.God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.Find your treasure within and cherish2 it.Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.翻譯：夢(mèng)想的力量

別人看你的眼睛時(shí),他應(yīng)當(dāng)體會(huì)到你內(nèi)心的活力。懷揣夢(mèng)想就像是擁有一座引領(lǐng)你前行的燈塔。

每個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)頭,它給我們帶來(lái)奇跡。每個(gè)新的起點(diǎn),我們脫胎換骨,煥然一新。孤獨(dú)中我們挺過(guò)失望的陰霾,發(fā)現(xiàn)我們的信念不曾動(dòng)搖,我們的力量依然強(qiáng)大。

秉持信念,期盼未來(lái)。許下你最真誠(chéng)的夢(mèng)想,一旦機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)臨,就為之拼搏。也許要花一季甚或更多的時(shí)間,但結(jié)局不會(huì)改變。立大志,傾全

力,成現(xiàn)實(shí)。前途未卜,唯有一步一個(gè)腳印,夢(mèng)想者的至高希冀才會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)。我們必須珍存夢(mèng)想,給它一季的保護(hù),讓它在內(nèi)心悄然生發(fā)。然而我們還得溫柔呵護(hù)我們內(nèi)心至深的期許,慢慢地夢(mèng)想必將成就新的生命。

夢(mèng)想是實(shí)現(xiàn)信仰的第一步。你的期待熠熠光輝,它會(huì)驅(qū)逐不信的陰影。上帝賦予我們夢(mèng)想的天資,去點(diǎn)亮不曾確信的世界。讓夢(mèng)想的財(cái)富寄于心中,珍愛(ài)它,明天正等著你跨出第一步。

第四篇：英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志小短文

英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志短文

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living.In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.無(wú)論是60歲還是16歲，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄滅的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事業(yè)成功的歡樂(lè)與熱情。在你我的心底，有一座無(wú)線電臺(tái)，它能在多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間里接收到人間萬(wàn)物傳遞來(lái)的美好、希望、歡樂(lè)、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就會(huì)年輕多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.人的生命應(yīng)當(dāng)像河流，開(kāi)始是涓涓細(xì)流，受兩岸的而十分狹窄，爾后奔騰咆哮，翻過(guò)危巖，飛越瀑布，河面漸漸開(kāi)闊，河岸也隨之向兩邊隱去，最后水流平緩，森森無(wú)際，匯入大海之中，個(gè)人就這樣毫無(wú)痛苦地消失了。

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over

timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.青春意味著戰(zhàn)勝懦弱的那股大丈夫氣概和擯棄安逸的那種冒險(xiǎn)精神。往往一個(gè)60歲的老者比一個(gè)20歲的青年更多一點(diǎn)這種勁頭。人老不僅僅是歲月流逝所致，更主要的是不思進(jìn)取的結(jié)果。

Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.光陰可以在顏面上留下印記，而熱情之火的熄滅則在心靈上刻下皺紋。煩惱、恐懼、缺乏自信會(huì)扭曲人的靈魂，并將青春化為灰燼。

Michael Jordan's Retired Speech

邁克爾·喬丹退役演說(shuō)

I am here to announce my retirement from the game of basketball.It won't be another announcement to baseball or anything to that nature.我在這里宣布從籃球場(chǎng)上退役，而且這次退役后不會(huì)再去從事棒球或其他類(lèi)似的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

Mentally, I'm exhausted;I don't feel I have a challenge.Physically, I feel great.The last time in 1993 I had other agendas.I felt that I wanted to play baseball and I felt that at my age, it was a good opportunity and time to do it.And with the death of my father, and I was basically trying to deal with that.由于精神上很疲憊，我感到自己非常蛙主恥戰(zhàn)力，體力倒還不錯(cuò)。1993年那次退役時(shí)我有其他計(jì)劃：想打棒球，我這個(gè)年紀(jì)正是從事樺球事業(yè)的極佳時(shí)機(jī)而且父親剛好去世了，我只想盡力去面對(duì)這一切。

Actually I talked to very last year once the season ended and I told Jerry at that time, mentally, I was a little exhausted.I didn't know if I would play next year.I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season.And very, once we had our conversation, wanted me to take time as I did in 93 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision.事實(shí)上，去年賽季剛結(jié)束時(shí)，我和在里談過(guò)一次。我告訴他我精神上有些疲憊，不知道下一年還能不能打我想讓他幸識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)，以便為下一事豐做準(zhǔn)備。杰里——有一次我們談過(guò)這個(gè)問(wèn)題——讓我要像93年那樣，好好考慮，以使做出明智的決定，因?yàn)檫@將是最后的決定。

I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach.And I think that even with Phil being the coach I would have had a tough time , mentally finding the challenge for myself.I though he can somehow present challenges for me.I don't know if he could have presented the challenge for me to continue on to this season.Even though middle way of this season I wanted to continue to play a couple more years, but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired.50 I can't say that he would have restored that.第一次退役時(shí)菲爾.杰克遜是教練。但我覺(jué)得即使本賽季他還擔(dān)任教練，我也會(huì)很困難，內(nèi)心里，我已感到了挑戰(zhàn)。當(dāng)然克論如何，他都會(huì)給我一些應(yīng)對(duì)方潔的我不知道他是否還有辦法使我打完這一賽季。在本賽季中間我還想著再打幾年呢，但當(dāng)賽季結(jié)束時(shí)，我卻感覺(jué)精神枯竭，疲憊。因此我確實(shí)不能說(shuō)他會(huì)使我恢復(fù)精力。

I will support the Chicago Bulls.I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan.I've been given an opportunity by people before me, to name a few, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, Eljohn Baylor Jerry West.These guys played the game way before Michael Jordan was born and Michael Jordan came on the heels of all that activity.Mr.Stern and what he's done for the league, gave me an opportunity to play the game of basketball I played it to the best I could play it, I tried to enhance the game itself.I've tried to be the best basketball player that I could be.我將支持芝加哥公牛隊(duì)，我認(rèn)為比賽本身比邁克爾.喬丹重要得多。我的很多機(jī)會(huì)都是籃球前輩們給的。我這里指出一些：里姆·阿卡杜·賈巴爾，J博士,伊利約翰 ·貝勒，杰里 ·韋斯特這些人早在邁克爾.喬丹出生前就活躍在賽場(chǎng)了。邁克爾.喬丹只不過(guò)是繼承了他們的傳統(tǒng)。斯特恩先生及其為聯(lián)盟做出的貢獻(xiàn)給了我打藍(lán)球的機(jī)會(huì)。找已盡我最大能力打球，我也努力拉動(dòng)比賽本身的發(fā)展。我一直在努力，盡我所能成為最好的球員。

James Cameron: Failure is an Option, but Fear is not

詹姆斯·卡梅隆：失敗是人生的選項(xiàng)之一，但畏懼不是

And you know, along the way in this journey of discovery, I learned a lot.I learned a lot about science.But I also learned a lot about leadership.Now you think director has got to be a leader, leader of, captain of the ship, and all that sort of thing.在發(fā)現(xiàn)的旅途中，我學(xué)到了很多。我學(xué)到的不僅僅是科學(xué)知識(shí)，還有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力。很多人以為作為導(dǎo)演，就一定具有很高的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力，就像船長(zhǎng)帶領(lǐng)整艘船一樣。

I didn't really learn about leadership until I did these expeditions.Because I had to, at a certain point, say, “What am I doing out here? Why am I doing this? What do I get out of it?” We don't make money at these damn shows.We barely break even.There is no fame in it.People sort of think I went away between “Titanic” and “Avatar” and was buffing my nails someplace, sitting at the beach.Made all these films, made all these documentary films for a very limited audience.但我卻是從這些探險(xiǎn)中學(xué)到如何帶領(lǐng)團(tuán)隊(duì)。在探險(xiǎn)時(shí)，有時(shí)候我會(huì)問(wèn)自己，“我為什么會(huì)在這里?為什么要做這些紀(jì)錄片?我從中得到了什么?”我們并沒(méi)有從這些紀(jì)錄片中賺錢(qián)，還差點(diǎn)虧了本。我也沒(méi)有賺到名聲。很多人以為我在《秦坦尼克號(hào)》之后《阿凡達(dá)》之前就一直躺在沙灘邊享受。這些紀(jì)錄片只有很少的觀眾。

No fame, no glory, no money.What are you doing? You're doing it for the task itself, for the challenge---and the ocean is the most challenging environment there is, for the thrill of discovery, and for that strange bond that happens when a small group of people form a tightly knit team.Because we would do these things with 10-12 people working for years at a time.Sometimes at sea for 2-3 months at a time.沒(méi)有名聲，沒(méi)有榮耀，沒(méi)有利潤(rùn)。那我在做什么呢?我做這些其實(shí)只是為了這件任務(wù)本身。為了挑戰(zhàn)——海洋是現(xiàn)存最危險(xiǎn)的環(huán)境;為了發(fā)現(xiàn);也為了一種奇怪的關(guān)系，這發(fā)生在一個(gè)很少人組成的緊密團(tuán)隊(duì)中。我們這10到12個(gè)人在一起工作了很多年。有時(shí)要在海里一起工作2到3個(gè)月。

And in that bond, you realize that the most important thing is the respect that you have for them and that they have for you, that you've done a task that you can't explain to someone else.When you come back to the shore and you say, “We had to do this, and the fiber optic, and the attenuation, and this and that all the technology of it, and the difficulty, the human performance aspects of working at sea, you can't explain it to people.It's that thing that maybe cops have, or people in combat that have gone through something together and they know they can never explain it.Creates a bond, creates a bond of respect.”

在這種關(guān)系中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)最重要的東西就是尊重。你尊重他們，他們也尊重你，每個(gè)人做的工作都無(wú)法向其他人解釋。當(dāng)你從岸邊回來(lái)的時(shí)候，你說(shuō)：“我們不得不這樣做，光纖眼、鈍化、這個(gè)、那個(gè)，所有的技術(shù)、困難和在海邊表演的各方面，你沒(méi)法跟大家說(shuō)清楚。這很像警察經(jīng)歷的那種事情或是格斗中人們經(jīng)歷的，他們知道他們解釋不清。創(chuàng)造一種關(guān)系，建立起一種尊重關(guān)系?！?/p>
