優秀的英語散文:放下戒心，大自然如此和諧

I sat in the comfort of my grandparents’ house, enjoying the rain and the “Cat Concerto” episode of Tom and Jerry with my grandfather.

那天，我正坐在奶奶家的安樂椅上，聽着窗外的雨聲，和爺爺一起看《貓和老鼠之貓的協奏曲》。

Munching on one of my grandmother’s fresh, scrumptious rotis, I saw a monkey suddenly swing onto the bars on our door.

嘴裏嚼着奶奶做的印度烤餅，那餅真是新鮮又美味。這時，我看見一隻猴子在門閂上盪鞦韆。

My grandfather encouraged me to offer it my roti; it gently accepted the gift.

爺爺鼓勵我把手中的烤餅給它，猴子欣然接受了這份禮物。

Peering in, my new friend stared with interest at the TV.

隔着窗戶，這位新朋友正饒有興趣地盯着電視。

The curious monkey, my grandfather, and I watched the rest of Tom and Jerry’s adventure together, astonished at the harmony that exists between humans and animals in our world.

隨後，我，爺爺，以及這個好奇的猴子一起看完了湯姆和傑瑞的冒險。我十分驚訝，沒想到世界上人和動物之間還有如此和諧的一面。

　優秀的英語散文:巴菲特最睿智的一句話

Warren Buffett is the current richest investor in the world. And he ranks No.2 among the world’s billionaires.

沃倫巴菲特是目前世界上最有錢的投資人，也是全球第2富有的富翁。

But, compared to his money, it’s those famous quotes of his that attract the public’s attention.

不過，與他的錢相比，他的名言往往纔是大衆關注的重點。

Though most people now see his words as jokes or anti chicken soup for the souls.

雖然現在很多人都把他的話當做笑談，或者是毒雞湯。

But I find his words really inspiring.

但我覺得，他說過的很多話真的很有道理。

And the one sentence which impressed me the most is the following:

而讓我印象最深的一句就是這句：

Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing.

如果你的智商平平，那你需要的就是控制那些讓一般人投資失敗的慾望。

The No. 1 reason why most people fail to save is failing in controlling their desire.

大部分人存錢失敗的根本原因，就是控制不了自己的慾望。

Desire makes you irrational.

慾望讓人變得不理性。

And that’s exactly who I was.

而這就是從前的我。

Did I really need to drink a 30 RMB coffee just for several minutes’ worth of vibe?

我真的需要爲了那幾分鐘的氣氛而去花30塊喝一杯咖啡嗎?

Did I really need all those new garments every month?

我真的需要每個月買這麼多新衣服嗎?

What did they bring me?

它們最終給我帶來了什麼?

They only brought me poverty.

它們給我帶來了貧窮。

And the people who are behind these businesses have made money through my stupidity.

而那些在背後經營這些生意的人，則從我的愚蠢中賺到了錢。

　優秀的英語散文:學會拒絕，你才能走得更遠

If you don't want to do something for somebody, you should manage to say "No." in the first place.

如果你不想爲一個人做什麼事情，你一開始就應該說“不。”

The moment you give in, you've given them the impression that they can use your time as long as they try hard enough.

你一旦讓步，就會讓他們以爲只要多做些努力就能佔用你的時間。

No "Let me see."

不要說“我看看。”

No "Maybe."

不要說“可能吧。”

Just "No." and a "Sorry." if you want to be polite.

直接說“不。”，如果你想表現得禮貌點就加一個“抱歉。”

Or you can ask "How much?" if it suits you.

或者，如果你覺得可行，也可以問問“你願意出多少錢?”

Time is the most precious thing that we have.

時間是我們所擁有的最珍貴的東西。

Once you lose a piece of it, you can never get it back.

一旦你失去了一段時間，你永遠不可能重新得到它。

And you have the freedom to decide how to use each piece of it.

而你有權利自由支配自己的每一份時間。

So if someone want a piece of your time, they have to be worth it, either by being someone you truly care about or by providing enough payment.

所以，如果有人想動用你的時間，那他們最好配得上它：要麼，他們是你真正關心的人;要麼，他們願意付足夠多的報酬。

Let me say it once again.

讓我再說一遍。

Time is the most precious thing that we have. Learn to refuse when people ask for your time.

時間是我們所擁有的最珍貴的東西。當有人想要你的時間的時候，學會拒絕。
