To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off When it rains. But actually the umbrella wasn't invented as protection against rain. Its first use was a shade against the sun!
在我們看來,下雨打傘是很自然的事。 但事實上傘在發(fā)明的時候并不是用來防雨的,而是用來遮陽的 。
Nobody knows who first invented it, hut the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century BC.
沒有人知道是誰發(fā)明了傘,但是傘在很早很早的古代就開始使用了 ?？赡苁紫仁褂脗愕娜耸侵袊?這要追溯到公元前11世紀(jì)。
We know the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was duanwenw a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.
我們知道,在古埃及和古巴比倫傘是用來遮陽的 。關(guān)于這一用途有一點很奇怪:傘成了尊嚴(yán)與權(quán)力的象征 。在古代的遠(yuǎn)東地區(qū),只有皇室和高官才能使用傘 。
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against Romans.
在歐洲,希臘人是首先把傘用于遮陽的人。 傘的使用在古希臘很普遍.但是據(jù)信在歐洲首先使用傘的人是為了防范羅馬人 。
During the middle ages, the use of umbrella practically disappeared Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was duanwenw considered a symbol of power and authority. Byl680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later in England.
中世紀(jì)的時候傘幾乎消失, 16世紀(jì)后期又在意大利出現(xiàn),并再一 次成為權(quán)力和威嚴(yán)的象征。 到1680年,傘開始在法國出現(xiàn),之后又出現(xiàn)在英國 。
By the eighteen century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to he made, in a whole.
到18世紀(jì),傘在整個歐洲幾乎都用來遮雨了 。 在這期間,傘的樣式一直沒有發(fā)生太大變化,只是重量上輕了許多 。 直到20世紀(jì)才出現(xiàn)了各種顏色的女士用傘。

Franklin’s life full of charming stories which all young men should know —how he sold books in Boston， and became the guest of kings in Europe; how he was made Major General Franklin， only to quit1 because， as he said， he was no soldier， and yet helped to organize the army that stood before the trained troops of England and Germany。

Don’t allow your troubles to get the best of you. Instead, allow those troubles to make the best of you.
Don’t tire yourself out fighting against the challenges. Instead, find new energy by embracing1 those challenges and working through them to create real value.
Always remind yourself that discour-agement is nothing more than a response you’ve chosen. When you find that you’ve chosen to let it be, you can just as surely choose to let it go.
Replace discouragement with determin-ation. It is your life’s energy, and you can point it in whatever direction you choose. Your most powerful response is not based only on what has already happened. Your most powerful response also takes into account what you wish to make happen next.
Look forward, and envision in great detail the future you desire. Then gather all your energy, and step forward to make it be.
不要被煩惱擊敗,相反,要讓這些煩惱磨練出更優(yōu)秀的你。

向前看,詳盡地展望你所期盼的未來。然后集中你所有的精力,努力前進,讓夢想成真。
Self-confidence, as is approved by research and practice, has an amazingly powerful influence on the output of people’s activities. Patients who believe that they’ll recover soon generally cures faster than those who think they won’t. Students with optimistic characters usually provide better performance, even if they work the same hard as others. Although someone may regard such conclusion as superstitious, it does take place everyday and everywhere. Neural scientists have discovered that, when a man feels confident, his brain will secrete some kinds of hormone that boost brain activity and improve the efficiency of his immune system. In contrast, a melancholic brain is suppressed by other chemicals and cannot fully exhibit its potential.
To help building up self-confidence, you can take the following two steps. First, identify your merits and value them. If you constantly compare your weakness to others’ advantages, you’d only gain frustration rather than confidence. Second, track every little progress you’ve made and review them frequently. You may not possibly become perfectly successful in one day, but if only you can see yourself growing gradually, surely you’re on the right way. There’re also other methods making you more confident that depend on yourself to find out, and they’re all necessary elements to make you more competitive in your area.
Today I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. What is success? It is what everyone is longing for.Sometimes success would be rather simple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now I am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.
However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don’t think so. I believe success is the realization of people’s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether it is real success. We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people’ hopes and ideals.
Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.
What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life! Wish you all good success!
Last night, I watched a tennis game, it was the US open, because there was a Chinese female player came to the semi-final, so I stayed up to watched the game. Unluckily, she was injured twice, though she still wanted to finish the game, her body situation did not allow her to do so. Her insistence moved so many audience, they gave her the biggest applause.
The power of insistence is great, it will help you set free your potential and keep move on. Just for the players, they will face all kinds of incidences now and then, but the will to insist will make them finish the game. Sometimes, people win the game not because of their excellent skills, but their strong will. Those who can stick on to the final line will win people’s applause.
What’s more, when people insist to finish the game, it is the respect that they show to their opponents. Their spirit deserves people’s applause. Insistence is a merit, we should keep it, no matter what we do, we must remember to insist.
昨晚，我看了一場網(wǎng)球比賽，那是美國網(wǎng)球公開賽，因為有中國女選手來到了半決賽，所以我熬夜看了比賽。很不幸地，她兩次受傷，雖然她仍然想要完成比賽，但是她的身體狀況不允許她堅持下去。她的堅持感動了很多觀眾，他們給予了她最大的掌聲。
堅持的力量是很偉大的，它能讓你發(fā)揮你的潛力，并且一直走下去。對于運動員，他們會時而不時地面對各種各樣的意外，但是堅持比賽的意志會讓他們完成比賽。有時候，人們贏得比賽并不是因為他們出色的技巧，而是他們堅強的意志。那些能堅持到終點的人會贏得人們的掌聲。
而且，當(dāng)人們堅持完成比賽，也是對對手的一種尊重。他們的精神值得人們鼓掌。堅持是一種美德，我們應(yīng)該保持，無論做什么，我們都要記得堅持。
Success is not final and failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
成功不是終點，失敗也不是終結(jié)，只有勇氣才是永恒。
Never cease to outdo yourself. There are no limits to the success you can acquire when you have an duanwenw uncontrollable drive to achieve. Any obstacles you encounter along the way are life’s test to establish strength and perseverance. If you continually possess determination and self-confidence throughout any situation, you will prevail.
超越你自己,永遠(yuǎn)不要停止。當(dāng)你擁有無法過制的獲勝沖動,你的成功將不可限量。前進路上的任何障礙都是用以確立力量和毅力的人生考驗。 倘若你在任何情況下都始終擁有決心和信心,你將會無往不勝。
I have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining room. They’re meant for romantic dinners and special occasions, but since the arrival of our three children they have lain unnoticed among the napkins and other things. They are waiting to be taken out and lit to share their glow with anyone who will take the time to bask in their brilliance.
Are not our souls like those candles, patiently waiting for someone to come and let us be ourselves? We are all waiting for our own moments to shine; we each have a special light, unmatched by any other.
Candles are made up of wax and a wick; we have bodies, but our essence lies in our minds and souls. Candles are unique in their colors, shapes and designs. Our life histories and experiences are the backdrops of who we are, but our minds are like candle wicks, and make our passions flame. Unlike the candles in my drawer, who get used or not used depending on my whims, we control our own thoughts, and how brightly we will burn or dimly we will shine.
Is your soul candle dimmed by circumstance or lack of passion and direction? Is it hidden in a drawer of stress, worry or resentment? Make a choice to let yourself shine the way you were meant to shine.
在我餐廳的抽屜里放著幾根蠟燭。它們會用于浪漫的晚餐和一些特殊的場合，但是自從我的三個孩子出生之后，它們便被遺忘在餐巾紙和其他雜物之間了。它們一直在等待著被拿出抽屜，被點亮，以和任何一個愿意花費時間去感受它們溫暖的人分享那些光亮。
我們的靈魂不也像蠟燭么?耐心地等待有人來發(fā)掘我們，讓我們發(fā)光發(fā)亮。我們一直等待著發(fā)光發(fā)亮的一刻;我們都有自己獨特的光亮，是別人所不能匹及的。
蠟燭由蠟狀物和蠟燭心組合而成;人類有肉體，而我們的本質(zhì)卻存在于精神和靈魂中。蠟燭有它們獨一無二的顏色、形狀和圖案。我們生命的歷史和經(jīng)歷是決定我們是誰的大背景，但是只有我們的心靈才是蠟燭心，使熱情形成火焰。與在抽屜里等著別人一時的興致來決定是否被點燃的蠟燭不同，我們可以決定自己的思想，決定自己能夠發(fā)光發(fā)亮還是黯淡無光。
你心中的那支蠟燭是否因環(huán)境或者缺少激情，沒有方向感而黯淡無光?它是否藏匿于壓力、擔(dān)憂和怨恨的抽屜里?做出選擇吧，以自己注定的方式去發(fā)光。
In the State of Zheng. There was a man who wanted to go into town to buy a pair of new shoes.
鄭國，有個人想去城里買一雙新鞋子。
Before leaving home, he measured his foot with a piece of straw for size. After he arrived at the town and entered a shoe shop, he put his hand into his pocket only to find that in his haste he had left the measurement at home. Thereupon, he turned round and started for home. But when he rushed back to the shoeshop with the measurement, the shop had closed. As a result, he had suanwenw busied himself for nothing.
他離家前先用一根稻草量了自己的腳，把他當(dāng)作尺碼。他到了城里，走進鞋店，伸手摸口袋，從發(fā)現(xiàn)因為急著趕路，把尺碼忘在家里了。于是，他轉(zhuǎn)身就往家里跑?？墒堑人弥叽a趕回鞋店的時候，店已經(jīng)關(guān)門了。結(jié)果，他白忙了一陣子，還是沒有買到鞋子。
Later, someone asked him:” Were you buying shoes for yourself or for others? ”
后來，有人問他：“你是給自己買鞋，還是給別人買鞋?”
He answered:” For myself.”
他回答說：“是給我自己。
Someone else asked him:” Don’t you have your feet on yourself? You need only to Try on shoes with your feet to get the right size. Why did you go back home to fetch the measurement? “
別人又問他：“腳不是長在你自己身上嗎?英語小短文只要用你的腳去試試鞋子的大小，不就可以了嗎?為什么還要回家去拿尺碼呢?“
The man of Zheng insisted:” I would rather trust the measurement than my own feet.”
那個鄭國人堅持說：“我寧愿相信尺碼，也不相信自己的腳?！?/p>
eagle acquired in a strong wind and rain in the wings, the plum blossom in full bloom in the cold weather assail the nostrils of the fragrance. in today's competitive times, we will not be timid, looking over, we will learn to survive in the competition, in the face of adversity in life to write music. as a philosopher said: the above on the fate of the people, confidence is the key to the fate! thorns in front of any problems, we will hold it constant. xue-hai vast, we have to do down the brave sailors, wind and the waves, the future together, the ancient saying goes: the trials and tribulations, as in ru yu. "youth in the footsteps of firms such as flow goes, the prime years of fighting can not afford to waste points. fellow students, let us seize the good life every day, towards the other side of the gold before. pro-yuan xian fish, it is better still active and networks. we use the wisdom and courage raised the ideal of sailing, with our youth and life played a strong tone of the times! when we abandoned the confusion, take the course; ground when we blinded, tireleyaojiang, the fate of the gates will be open to us, tempting time will come! the future is not a dream today, in our hands!
if i were a boy again, i would practice perseverance(毅力)more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient. if we want light, we must conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “there are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.”
if i were a boy again, i would school myself into a habit of attention; i would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. i would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. the habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. i often hear grown-up people say “i could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, although i wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.
if i were to live my life over again, i would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. i would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. it takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. it only needs early cultivation to become a power.
if i were a boy again, i would look on the cheerful side. life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, i smile back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return.
inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. “who shuts love out ,in turn shall be shut out from love.”
finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, i would, if i were a boy again, i would still try harder to make others happy.
This is a multiple choice questions, could you tell me: senior year, I use the attitude of how to grow? Answer: happy, pessimistic, make public, positive, rebellious, forbear, stick to, give up and shake of hardship and struggle... You may meet the challenge in the storm, can also learn to strong and enduring in failure. No matter what your choice is, three high, this is the growth of a struggle process.
Mr Yu has been in the "win in China" issued a theory of the grass tree: "there are two kinds of people's way of life, the first is like grass alive: growing up again, you still grow up, people can tread you, won't produce the pain, because people itself didn't see you, so every one of us should grow like a tree. Even if we now are nothing, but as long as you have the tree seed, even if you are stepped on earth the middle, you still can absorb soil nutrients. You maybe two years three older is not big, but a decade eight years twenty years you can grow into towering trees. Tree, alive is a beautiful scenery, dead still is pillars just. Living dead are useful." In three of this article is a bit bumpy road, we should all in everyone's heart with the seed of a tree. Regardless of wind and rain wet eyes or wind broken skin, should be stalked a steadfast head high to meet belong to high in the thorns. Then, we slowly have a tree trunk, forceful and vigorous. Although there are some see rough arm scar, but was poured with envious eyes.
Perhaps, three journey, we can not long be great trees like Mr Yu said, but, as long as we always have the dream of tree species, we will be able to wait until that day, the sun is shining, shining on us on the green leaves of flashing bright green light.
Life is not about just getting by. Life is about reaching ever higher, building one achievement on top of another, and creating real, meaningful value in each moment.
A common stone on the ground does a great job of just getting by. You, on the other hand, are destined1 for much more spectacular things. Yes, indeed, you will certainly meet a number of challenges when you make the effort to raise your world even a little bit higher. The good thing is, you are superbly equipped to thrive on those challenges.
If life seems unsuccessful, it’s not because of the challenges or limitations that stand in your way. It’s because you refuse to see the exceptional opportunities that those challenges represent.
This is your precious and unique life, and it is absolutely worth all the trouble and effort you must go through to make it great. Within you at this moment are beautiful dreams, and you can begin to live in the direction of those dreams whenever you choose.
Let go of the false security of just getting by, and get yourself into focus on a purpose that will bring your life gloriously to life. Your very own pathway to success is just one quick step away.
生活并不是過得去就行,而是需要我們每時每刻都有所超越,不斷取得成就,并且創(chuàng)造真正的、有意義的價值。
地上的一塊普通的石子只是躺在那里就做得很好了。然而,你注定是要做大事的。是的,當(dāng)你努力提升自己時,你的確會遇到許多困難,哪怕只是提升一點點。幸運的是,你有能力戰(zhàn)勝那些挑戰(zhàn)。
如果生活看起來并不是一帆風(fēng)順的,那并不是因為你前方的道路上有挑戰(zhàn)或阻礙,而是因為你沒有看到那些挑戰(zhàn)中蘊藏的良機。
這是你所珍愛的、獨一無二的生活。為了讓它變得更美好,經(jīng)歷困難、付出努力都是值得的。此刻,你的內(nèi)心充滿著美好的夢想,只要你選擇,你就可以朝著夢想的方向生活。
摒棄生活只要過得去就行這樣的錯誤觀點,全心投入一個目標(biāo)——讓你的生活更加精彩。成功之路離你僅一步之遙。
a poet leads me to a branch road: on one side, there are lots of sweet apples, lovely and charming; on the other, there is a patch of thorn, what hides behind the success of struggling against the thorn is a splendid palace. i deeply know that if i choose the apples, i will give up a precious opportunity of becoming a queen; while if i choose to challenge, i have to say farewell to the apples. which one should i choose?
just like the branch road, we have to make a lot of choices during our lifetime. it is usually considered that we are choosing what to gain, to own, but in my opinion, we are just choosing to give up.
choosing to be a teacher means giving up the life as rich as a business man;
choosing to be a top student means giving up much leisure time in front of the tv.
sure, it's a torture, but we must judge carefully what is more important, then give up the others. don't think of them any more, just focus all your spirit on what you are doing.
i myself, who is standing here, have already chosen to challenge in such a great competition, so i have to give up ten days of normal classes in school and relaxation without pressure. but i am still pleased, because giving up properly makes me stick to my choice.
let's return to our branch road, which one will your choose? i choose to challenge here!
To be or nor to be, that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How to succeed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers in nowadays.
We all have dreams, and we all work hard to realize them. But there will always be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When they appear, what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer. We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium, but how many people really know how hard she worked? At that time, there were many people disapprove of Mrs. Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties, she still believed in herself and never gave up. Finally, she succeeded to discover radium. She proved that she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We should learn from Mrs. Curie. She told us the truth through her own experiences that believe in yourself, you can do it! Never give up, face the difficulties with a smile, someday, you will be proud of yourself.
The key to success is confidence. It makes you brave, helps you get over the troubles, and brings motivation to you. For example, somebody always get nervous when they have an important speech, if they are in a nervous mood, the results are always terrible. But if they are confident to themselves, the results turn out to be better. Therefore, be confident, believe in yourself, keep smile in your face when comes to difficulties, and you will achieve more.
when i was seven, i started learning english. i played games and sang english songs with other children. sometimes, i watched english cartoons. it's funny. then i discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the english world.
i hope i can travel around the world someday. i want to go to america to visit washington, because my cousin is over there. of course, i want to go to london too, because england is where english language developed. if i can ride my bike in cambridge university, i will be very happy.
