• 【晨读美文四级篇】成功之道(4/4)

    心情~ Hints:  “no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves." 主持: mangiferin 任何疑问欢迎 @mangiferin ! To summarize what I have said, aim for the highest; never enter a bar room. Do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals. Never speculate, never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund. Make the firm's interest yours. Break orders always to save owners. Concentrate. Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket. Expenditure always within revenue. Lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says, “no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves." 把我的话归纳一下:要志存高远;不要出入酒吧;要滴酒不沾,或要喝也只在用餐时喝少许;不要做投机买卖;不要寅吃卯粮;要把公司的利益当作自己的利益;取消订货的目的永远是为了挽救货主;要专注;要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里,然后小美文心地看好它;要量入为出;最后,要有耐心,正如爱默生所言,“谁都无法阻止你最终成功,除非你自己承认自己失败。” 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: 请注意文章中有一处连词符。 The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. 一个人在世上最好的朋友会和他反目,成为他的敌人。他悉心养育的儿女会不忠不孝。那些和我们最亲近的人,那些我们以幸福和美名信赖的人会背信弃义。一个人拥有的金钱会失去,也许就在他最需要的时候。一个人的名誉会因瞬间的不当之举而丧失贻尽。那些当我们功成名就时跪拜向美文我们致敬的人也许是第一个在失败的阴云笼罩我们时对我们投石下井。 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

    心情~ Hints:  “My place is at the top”. 主持: mangiferin 任何疑问欢迎 @mangiferin ! Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is aim high. I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, “My place is at the top". Be king in your dreams. And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret. Concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it. 假美文如你已经被录用,并且有了一个良好的开端,我对你的建议是:要志存高远。一个年轻人,如果不把自己想象成一家大公司未来的老板或者是合伙人,那我会对他不屑一顾。不论职位有多高,你的内心都不要满足于做一个总管,领班或者总经理。要对自己说:我要迈向顶尖!要做就做你梦想中的国王! 成功的首要条件和最大秘诀就是:把你的精力,思想和资本全都集中在你正从事的事业上。一旦开始从事某种职业,就要下定决心在那一领域闯出一片天地来;做这一行的领导人物,采纳每一点改进之心,采用最优良的设备,对专业知识熟稔于心。 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

  • 【晨读美文四级篇】读书的乐趣(3/3)

    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 The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places. The human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other. They link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it. You find out about yourself, too. Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you "ought" to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time - and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't have suffered during the process. 相同的想法,或者相关的,融入不同的作品,一再困扰人类生活的问题也在文学作品里反复出现,只是不同时代的著作呈现了不同的锦囊妙计。 书本之间相互影响,把过去,现在,将来紧密地联系起来,一代一代,类同各个家族。无论你从何时何地读起,你都美文会把自己同某一观点联系起来,而从长远来看,你不仅从书中了解世界,理解人生,你也会认识你自己。 只有你期待读书给你带来乐趣,你才能够如愿以偿。你若只读别人推荐的“必读”之书,十有八九你会觉得索然寡味。不如放下你手中不喜欢的书,另试一本,直到你找到一本有点看头的书,心情轻松地读下去,你必能乐在其中。通过博览群书,你变得愈加高尚、聪敏、和善、温雅,那时你就不会觉得读书是份苦差事了。 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

  • 【晨读美文四级篇】狗的价值(2/3)

    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 The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the wounds and sores that come from encounter with the roughness of the world. He will guard the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. 在这个自私的世界里,一个人能美文有的最无私的,从不抛弃他,从不知恩不报,从不背信弃义的朋友是他的狗。 无论富有或贫穷,无论健康或是患病,一个人的狗总佇立在主人身旁。如果能和主人在一起,它愿意睡在冰冷的地上,任凭寒风凛冽,朔雪飘零。它愿意亲吻没有食物奉送的手;它愿意舔抚艰难人世带来的创痕。它守卫着穷主人安睡如同守卫王子。当所有的朋友离去,它留驻。 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 All the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books, but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how to get the most from it. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books. I am most interested in people, in them and finding out about them. Some of the most remarkable people met existed only in a writer's imagination, then on the pages of his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I've found in books new friends, new societies and new words. If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in "who" as in "how". "Who" in the books includes everybody from science-fiction superman 200 centuries in the future all the way back to the first figures in history. 岁月沉淀的智慧,千年不衰的故事,只要打开扉页,这一切便唾手可得。如何拥有这些瑰宝,如何掌握其精华,却是我们最该费心思了解的知识。世界上最不幸的人就是那些从未领略过阅读佳作乐趣的人。 我对书中的人物感兴趣,乐衷于与人交往,了解他们。一些超凡脱俗之辈只存在于作者的想像中,接着跃然于纸上,然后徘徊于我的脑海里。在书海里,我觅得了新美文朋友,窥见了新社会,发现了新世界。 如果说我感兴趣的人,别人感兴趣的,与其说是人,还不如说是事。书里的人物,从历史里记载的第一批历史人物一直到科幻小说里出现在两百年后的超人,形形色色,应有尽有。 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

  • 【晨读美文四级篇】自尊(2/3)

    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 Psychologists say that almost every aspect of our lives - our personal happiness, success, relationships with others, achievement, creativity, dependencies - are dependent on our level of self-esteem. The more we have, the better we deal with things. Positive self-esteem is important because when people experience it. They feel good and look good. They are effective and productive. And they respond to other people and themselves in healthy, positive, growing ways. People who have positive self-esteem know that they are lovable and capable, and they care about themselves and other people. They do not have to build themselves up by tearing other people down or by patronizing less competent people. 心理学家们认为,个人的幸福感、成功、与他人的关系、成就、创造力、依赖性,包括我们生活的所有方面都取决于我们不同程度的自尊。自尊意识越强,我们就能更好地处理事务。感受到这种积极的自尊是相当重要的,拥有积极的自尊使自己感觉良好,并给别人良好的印象,工作效率提高,更加卓有成效;并且总美文是以一种健康、积极和发展的态度回应自己或是别人。拥有积极的自尊的人清楚自己受人喜爱,清楚自己能力很强,他们既关心自己也关心别人。他们也不需要通过诋毁比人或对能力不如自己的人摆出一副神气活现的样子来建立自己所谓的地位。 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

  • 【晨读美文四级篇】论爱(1/3)

    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 The best type of affection is reciprocally life-giving, each receives affection with joy and gives it without effort, and each finds the whole world more interesting in consequence of the existence of this reciprocal happiness. There is, however, another kind, by no means uncommon, in which one person sucks the vitality of the other, one receives what the other gives, but gives almost nothing in return. Some very vital people belong to this bloodsucking type. They extract the vitality from one victim after another, but while they prosper and grow interesting, those upon whom they live grow pale and dim and dull. 最好的那种爱是彼此愉悦的爱;彼此很愉快地接受,很自然地给出,并且由于有了这种互惠的快乐,彼此都觉得整个世界更有趣味。然而,还有一种决非少见的爱,那就是一方吸收着另一方的活力,接受着另一方的给出,但他这一方几乎毫无回报。某些生命力极旺的人便属于这吸血的一类。他们把一个又一个牺牲者的活力吸净,但是当他们越发生机勃勃,兴致盎然之时,那些被榨取的人却变得越来越苍白、黯淡和迟钝。 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

  • 【晨读美文四级篇】幸福的道理(2/4)

    实中,你得找一份工作,而社会竞争也相当激烈。于是,你就会想,这是一个雇主的世界。随后,你找到了一份理想的工作——现在的你很开心,是吗? 生活向我们索要的远比我们想要的多。一个人必须明白,要想真正找到幸福,他就必须让自己幸福。可能听起来有些多余,但确是如此——生活中,没有能代来幸福的现成的指南,也没有挥一挥就能带来欢乐的魔棒。人性在追求幸福的刺激中不断升级、完善。我们梦美文想着,期望着下一个大的转变——这就是生活中的大冒险了。 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

  • 【晨读美文四级篇】爱或不爱(1/2)

    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 If somebody tells you, "I'll love you for ever," will you believe it?    I don't think there's any reason not to. we are ready to believe such commitment at the moment, whatever change may happen afterwards. As for the belief in an everlasting love, that's another thing.    Then you may be asked whether there is such a thing as an everlasting love. I'd answer I believe in it. But an everlasting love is not immutable.    You may unswervingly love or be loved by a person. But love will change its composition with the passage of time. It will not remain the same. In the course of your growth and as a result of your increased experience, love will become something different to you. 假如有人对你说,我永远爱你,你是否会相信呢? 我想不到有什么理由不相信。无论将来变成怎样,那一刻,我们会愿意相信这个承诺。是否相信有永远的爱,那美文又是另一回事。    你也许永远爱一个人,或永远被一个人所爱。但是,爱的成分会在年月中改变。爱不是只有一样。当你成长,当你经历愈来愈多的事情,你对爱的体会也会不一样了。 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>
