而他并不快乐。他告诉仆人去找可以使他快乐的东西，但是每个回来的人都说：“世界上没有什么比得上你已经拥有的极好的东西。”当时那个国家住着一个穷人，他一个眼睛戴着眼罩并靠拐杖走路。虽然他拥有的很少，但是他总是很快乐。当国王听说这件事的时候，他要求这个人教他快乐的秘决。 “我从来不强迫，”这个人答道，“而且我从不匆忙。最美文重要的是，我从不希望得到太多。”然后，他笑着离开了。 如果你想使一个人快乐，不要增加他的财产，而是要减少他的欲望。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

经典美文，听写——让心情舒畅！ 每天上午10点准时与大家相见。 Hints: none And studies themselves, do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. 而书中所示，如美文不以经验范之，则又大而无当。有一技之长者鄙读书，无知者羡读书，唯明智之士用读书，然书并不以用处告人，用书之智不在书中，而在书外，全凭观察得之。读书时不可存心诘难作者，不可尽信书上所言，亦不可只为寻章摘句，而应推敲细思。书有可浅尝者，有可吞食者，少数则须咀嚼消化。换言之，有只须读其部分者，有只须大体涉猎者，少数则须全读，读时须全神贯注，孜孜不倦。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

经典美文，听写——让心情舒畅！ 每天上午10点准时与大家相见。 Hints: Christian Catholic Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another. Good sense is not conscience, refinement is not humility, nor is largeness and justness of view faith. Philosophy, however enlightened, however profound, gives no command over the passions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles. Liberal education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the gentleman. It is well to be a gentleman. It is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind, a noble and courteous bearing in the conduct of life - these are the connatural qualities of a large knowledge. They are the objects of a university. 知识是一回事，美德是另一回事。好意并非良心，优雅并非谦让，广博与公正的观点也并非信仰。哲学，无论多么富有启迪和深奥莫测，都无法驾驭情感，不具备有影响力的动机，不具有导致生动活泼的原理。文科教育并不造就基督教徒抑或天主教徒，而是造就了绅士。造就一个绅士诚为美事。有教养的才智，优雅的情趣，正直、公正而冷静的头脑，高贵而彬彬有礼的举止--这些是与渊博的学识生来固有的品质, 它也是大学教育的目的。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

美文心情~ Hints: "fault-finding" mission free-thinking self-worth 主持: mangiferin Disappointments and tragedies in life will come and go, but happiness never leaves you. The human's capacity to be resilient to trials is unfathomable. We can lose our jobs, but be grateful for our spouses. We can lose our homes to nature, but be thankful to be alive. Happiness is a perception of each individual. We are instinctively compelled to find fault in our lives. By human nature, we begin our "fault-finding" mission the moment we're capable of free-thinking. It is then that we lose sense of self-worth and the bigger picture of vitality altogether. Stuck in the patterns of the happiness paradox, we simply cannot find where our happiness has gone. It's not a matter of bargaining, it's not an issue of money or fame. Instead, happiness is what you resolve to accept. If we live through optimistic hope, if we dare to dream, if we empower ourselves to fully live, then we have regained our sense of happiness. There is no in between. There is no other replacement. We only have one physical life to live. We have no choice but to make the most of it. 失望和悲伤在生命中交替轮回，但幸福从不会舍你而去。人类对困难的适应能力无可限量。我们可以失去工作，但会为拥有爱人而感恩不已；我们可以流离失所，但会为活着而心存感激。 幸福是个人的一种感知。我们本能地受限于外界，找寻着生活的瑕疵，出于人的天性，我们从有能力自由思考的那刻起，就开始对生活吹毛求疵。也就在那时，我们失去了对自我价值的认知，也失去了生命的活力，陷于幸福的矛盾中，找不到幸福的方向。 幸福是你决定去接受的东西，没有任何商量的余地，它于金钱或名誉毫无瓜葛。只要我们活在乐观希望之中，敢于大胆梦想，活得简单纯粹，那么，我们就会重新拥有幸福的感觉。那种感觉并非悬于幸于不幸之间的真空地带，也无任何替代品。我们只能活一次——除了好好活着，我们别无选择。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

经典美文，听写——让心情舒畅！ 每天上午10点准时与大家相见。 Hints: none And the man whose ego is so enclosed within steel walls that this enlargement of it is impossible misses the best that life has to offer, however successful he may be in his career. A too powerful ego is a prison from which a man must escape if he is to enjoy the world to the full. A capacity for genuine affection is one of the marks of the man who has escaped from this prison of self. To receive affection is by no means enough; affection which is received should liberate the affection which is to be given, and only where both exist in equal measure does affection achieve its best possibilities. 凡是把自我禁锢起来不能扩展的人，必然错失人生所能提供的最好的东西，不美文管他在事业上如何成功。太强的自我是一座监狱，你若想充分地享受人生，就得从这座监狱中逃脱。能有真正的爱，这是一个人已逃出自我监狱的标志之一。光接受爱是绝对不够的；接受的爱应当能激发你奉献出自己的爱，惟有当接受的爱和奉献出的爱等量存在时，爱才能达到它的最佳状态 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

许是从炽热走到平淡。因为平淡，才可以更美文长久。然后，所谓永远，有一天又会变成互相依存。 　 　 我们曾经坚持把爱和喜欢分开。爱是比喜欢美丽许多的。终有一天，我们开始相信，不必把喜欢和爱分开。喜欢也是一种爱。正如，永远的依存，也是永远的爱。 　　 我希望我能够相信一个人永远地爱我。可是，我们都知道，那只是过于浪漫的想法。永远的关系，反而更有可能. 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

经典美文，听写——让心情舒畅！ 每天上午10点准时与大家相见。 Hints: Sherlock Holmes   "How" covers everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes to the discoveries of science and ways of teaching manners to children. Reading is pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop, as you understand his. Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something. They are connected with each other and with other cities. 从福尔摩斯的神妙剖析，到科学的种种发现，直至教育孩子礼仪的各种方式，五花八门，无奇不有。读书是一种精神的享受，有点类似体育运动。善于读书的人需要强烈的渴望，渊博的学识，敏捷的反应。读书之所以是一种乐趣，并非是因为作者在向你讲述什么，而是因为读书能使你的思维活跃起来。你的思绪随着作者的思绪一起驰骋，甚至比作者更胜一筹。你的经历与作者的经历相比后，你会得出自己的结论，或者相同，或者相悖。在理解作者的思想上，得出自己的见解。 每美文本书都自成一体，犹如独户房子，而汇聚在图书馆里的书就像是城市里的千家万户。尽管他们各成一体，但累聚一起就非比寻常了。他们彼此相惜相依，并和其他城市相联系. 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

经典美文，听写——让心情舒畅！ 每天上午10点准时与大家相见。 Hints: none Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things. Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit: and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know, that he doth not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtitle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. 书亦可请人代读，取其所作摘要，但只限题材较次或价值不高者，否则书经提炼犹如水经蒸馏、淡而无味矣。读书使人充实，讨论使人美文机智，笔记使人准确。因此不常作笔记者须记忆特强，不常讨论者须天生聪颖，不常读书者须欺世有术，始能无知而显有知。读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀，数学使人周密，科学使人深刻，伦理学使人庄重，逻辑修辞之学使人善辩. 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

美文醒着的时间80%以上都在家中度过，置身于家庭的直接影响之下。我们的出生决定了我们将会成为哪一种人。我们独有的自尊由两个不同的方面形成：命运，包括生活中遇到的机遇和挫折；以及我们决定如何应对命运，当然也包括机遇和挫折。在我们生活中，其他人既不能控制我们的命运，也不能改变我们的决定。没有人可以改变命运。但是在我们的一生中，我们能控制我们的思想从而控制自己的决定。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>
