He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Harry saw me and came and sat at the same table . He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me &2. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. I have never borrrowed any money from you, Harry said,so now you can pay for my dinner! 禮尚往來 我正在一家飯館吃飯，托尼.斯蒂爾走了進來。托尼曾在又家律師事務(wù)所工作，而現(xiàn)在正在一家銀行上班，他的薪水很高，但他卻總是向朋友借錢，并且從來不還。托尼看見了我，就走過來和我坐到一張桌子前。他從未向我借過錢，但他吃飯時，我提出向他借20英鎊。令我驚奇的是，他立刻把錢給了我?！拔疫€未向你借過錢。”托尼說道，“所以現(xiàn)在你能夠替我付飯錢了!” 篇二 If You Could ChooseIf you could choose what kind of world to live in, what kind of world would you choose? If you could decide what would happen tomorrow, with what kinds of things would you fill it? If you had the power to decide what types of opportunities would come your way, what opportunities would you select? If you knew that your experiences would match your expectations, what would your expectations be? In fact, you do have the power to choose your own way. You do have the ability to decide what kinds of events, experiences, opportunities and circumstances come your way. The world you experience is the world that your dreams, your thoughts, your expectations and your actions most closely resonate*. The world you see and live in is the world you most sincerely expect to see. The universe is filled with endless possibilities, and those possibilities keep growing with every minute. The way you live determines which of those possibilities will come into your life. With your thoughts, your actions, your values, your dreams and expectations, you choose what kind of world you live in. The way you live is closely mirrored in the world you see. 篇三 A New Day 嶄新的一天The sun has begun to set and I hang up the smile Ive worn all day, though I will make sure it is the first thing I put back on in the morning just in case it is “that day.” I want her to see me at my very best. 太陽將要下山，我收起掛了一天的微笑，不過我會確保明天早上第一件事就是將它又掛回去，以防這天就是“那一天”。我希望她看到我的狀態(tài)。 I do the normal routine, eat dinner, clean the house, writethe usual stuff. And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand new sun. But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snicker will turn into a burst of laughter. 我按平時的規(guī)律吃晚餐、打掃屋子、寫作做著日常事務(wù)。然后我躺下，希望能快點入睡，新的一天就能快點到來擁有新生太陽的嶄新的一天。可當我躺在那兒，等待著世界的日夜回轉(zhuǎn)時，我想到了她。有時我會笑起來，有時那微笑變成了竊笑，然后竊笑又常常變成爆笑。 And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep me company until my new day arrives. 也有些時候，我的喉嚨像是被一塊東西哽住了，胸口發(fā)悶;有時那種傷感席卷而來，我開始流淚，眼淚常常越流越多，我再也無力抵抗悲傷，敗下陣來。然后不知怎的，我在或喜悅或悲傷中飄蕩，逐漸入眠。然后夢境開始伴我左右，直至新的一天到來。 When I awake its with such excitement because I tell myself this could be the day that every other day has led up to and the first day of the rest of my life. I quickly don my smile because I do so want her to see me at my very best. Then I look out the window because, even though I know its dawn, I still have to confirm Ive been given another chance to find her. 醒來時，我興奮不已，因為我告訴自己今天也許就是之前其他日子為之打下基礎(chǔ)的“那一天”，是我余生的第一天。我迅速掛上微笑，因為我真的很想讓她看到我的狀態(tài)。然后我朝窗外看去，因為即使我知道現(xiàn)在才剛剛破曉，我仍得確定自己能夠與她再次邂逅。 And there it isthe sun, even when its cloudy; somehow I still see it. And it smiles at me and I say, “Thank you,” and I smile back. 它在那里太陽，雖然還是云霧重重，但我還是看到它了。它朝我微笑，我道了聲“謝謝”，回以一笑。 Then I ask myself, “Is this the day?” And the excitement rushes over me again. And then I ask myself, “Wheres it going to be?” 然后我問自己：“今天就是那一天嗎?”興奮之情再次充溢全身。然后我問自己：“它會在哪里呢?” Maybe itll be at the water fountain, and, unexpectedly, there Ill find her, and much more than my thirst will be quenched. Maybe itll be at the grocery store and there shell appear as Im picking out fruit, and shell show me the difference between fresh and spoiled. Then, from that moment, nothing that I eat will ever taste the same because shell bring out the simplest beauties in everything I see, taste, smell, hear, or touch. 也許它會藏在飲水機里，沒想到我真能在那里找到她，為我生津止渴，取之不盡。也許它會躲在雜貨店里，我拿起水果的時候，她就出現(xiàn)了，她會給我展示新鮮和變質(zhì)的不同。然后，從那一刻開始，我所嘗到的一切味道不再一樣，因為但凡我看到的、嘗到的、聞到的、聽到的或摸到的東西，她都帶出了它們最簡單的美麗。 Or maybe today will be the day when my angel brings an item up to the cash register without its price tag. And as I wait behind this angel with all the frustrated people who are in such a hurry with their busy lives, I will find myself with such blessed extra time. Just enough time to start a conversation with this beautiful vision standing in front of me that I might not otherwise have noticed, but, because of a “price check on register 5,” I was able to find her. 或許就在今天，我的天使把一件沒有價格標簽的商品拿到收銀臺。我在天使身后排隊，看著身心疲憊的人們忙忙碌碌地過日子，慶幸自己得到了這樣的額外時間，讓我能夠和面前的倩影閑聊一會兒，否則我也許會錯過，但只因為一句“請到5號收銀臺付款”，我就能找到她。 Thank you for the sun, which began my new day. Thank you for granting me the faith when I arose this morning that I would find her in this new day. But most of all, thank you for me not having to ever wait on another sunrise becau
