1、夢(mèng)想不應(yīng)等待,雙語美文,有句古老的西班牙諺語：明天常常是一周中最忙碌的一天。有多少次我們?cè)褖?mèng)想托付給明天?要我說，太多次。夢(mèng)想不應(yīng)等待，也經(jīng)不起等待。我們必須馬上行動(dòng)。道理如下： 1. Tomorrow is not promised 明天不一定到來 Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Dont go t

2、o your grave with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.,沒人愿意談?wù)撍劳?，但現(xiàn)實(shí)是死亡必然到來。哪一天或哪一刻沒人能說得清。所以，我們真正擁有的是今天。不要因未實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想抱憾而終。夢(mèng)想，或偉大或平凡，不論怎樣，從即刻起，作出追逐每個(gè)夢(mèng)想的決定。,2. The world is waiting on your gift世界需要你 I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waitin

3、g on YOU! Yes, YOU! You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can duplicate. Sure, other people may be able to sing. But theyll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but theyll never be able to write from the same perspective in which

4、you write. Dont deprive the world of your gift. Its the oxygen that we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use to better your life and the lives of those around you. 我知道，可能你不相信，但是世界的確需要你!是的，就是你!你在這個(gè)世界上獨(dú)一無二，地球上無人可以替代。當(dāng)然，有的人可能歌唱得好，但是，他們的風(fēng)格卻總是有別

5、于你的。有的人擅長寫作，但是他們卻永遠(yuǎn)不能站在你的視角來描述事物。不要對(duì)世界吝惜你的天賦。它是我們生存需要的氧氣。因此，發(fā)掘并利用自己的天賦，承擔(dān)起改善自己和他人生活的責(zé)任。,3. Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true 如果跨不出第一步，夢(mèng)想將終歸是夢(mèng)想 You can dream about writing the great American play all you want, but its never going to happen unless you actually put pen to

6、 paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. In other words, dreams dont work unless you do. They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the wor

7、k to make them happen. Get to it! 寫出一部偉大的美劇是你的最大夢(mèng)想，但是，如果不拿起筆，這部偉大的美劇將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)問世。你夢(mèng)想找到治愈癌癥的良方，但是，如果你不學(xué)習(xí)，不用發(fā)現(xiàn)良方所需的工具和手段來武裝自己，那僅是紙上談兵。換句話說，除非身體力行，否則夢(mèng)想終歸是夢(mèng)想。實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想要求你別再做白日夢(mèng)，而是朝著夢(mèng)想努力。所以，馬上行動(dòng)吧!,4.You cant let fear win 不能輸給恐懼 One of the biggest dream killers is fear. There are so many people who could have achie

8、ved amazing things if only they werent afraid. Just think about all the things youve wanted to do, but allowed fear to convince you that you werent capable, or good enough. In the movie After Earth, Will Smiths character says, “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunde

9、rstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.” Choose not to let fear stop you from achieving your dreams. 恐懼是夢(mèng)想最可怕的殺手。要是能夠克服恐懼，很多人能夠成就大事。想想那些你一直想做，但被不具備能力、或者不夠好的擔(dān)心懾服而放棄的事情。在電影重返地球中，威爾史密斯飾演的角色說：“恐懼并不真實(shí)存在，僅是思想的產(chǎn)物。別誤會(huì)。危險(xiǎn)真實(shí)存在，但是恐懼是一種選擇。”選擇不要讓恐懼成為你實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想的障礙。,5. Possibilities you never knew existed

10、 are waiting on you 不做，你永遠(yuǎn)不知道機(jī)會(huì)在等你 There are so many amazing opportunities and people waiting on you. Films festivals, panels, boards, the top people in your field, all these things are waiting on you! How do you get to them? Simple. Follow your dream. Doors that you couldnt imagine open up when you

11、 go after what you want. Youll never see those doors if you sit around waiting on a dream to happen, instead of actually working to make it happen. 有太多大好的機(jī)會(huì)，有太多人對(duì)你拭目以待。電影節(jié)、事務(wù)委員會(huì)、董事會(huì)、你領(lǐng)域的精英團(tuán)體，所有這些都在恭候你的光臨!你怎能與它們親密接觸?簡單得很，隨夢(mèng)而行。追逐夢(mèng)想時(shí)，那些你無法想像的大門為你敞開。如果坐等夢(mèng)想實(shí)現(xiàn)，而不是通過努力去實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想，你將永遠(yuǎn)看不到那些門。,6. Youll be much hap

12、pier if you go for it 追逐夢(mèng)想讓你更快樂 Imagine how much happier youll be if youre living the life you always dreamed about. The only thing that is stopping you, is you. Take control of your own happiness. Dont keep your dreams waiting. Go after them today! 想像一下，如果你過著夢(mèng)想的生活，你會(huì)多么快樂。阻止你追逐夢(mèng)想的只有你自己。把握自己的幸福，不要讓夢(mèng)想

Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So if you want to change something, start with baby steps. Take

17、 a small actionany actionand grow from there. 讓我們面對(duì)這個(gè)事實(shí)：改掉壞習(xí)慣非常困難。研究證實(shí)了這一點(diǎn)。中國的哲學(xué)家老子說過，“千里之行，始于足下?！比绻阆胍龀龈淖?，就從第一步開始。做出一點(diǎn)小的行動(dòng)，任何一種行動(dòng)都行，然后就從這里開始。,3. Good things usually dont come quickly. 好事情不會(huì)來得很快 Great accomplishments in our lives normally dont come easy. And if you think about it, would you have it

18、 any other way? Theres a basic psychological principle called instant gratification, which means that we expect to get rewards instantly. But sometimes you need to fight the impulses your brain throws at you and trust that the journey youre on is the right one. 我們認(rèn)識(shí)中的偉大成就都來之不易。想想看，你還有別的辦法嗎？有一個(gè)基本的心理學(xué)

21、mes when you need to relinquish your control on everything and let things unfold how theyre meant to be. This doesnt mean your mentality for everything should be wait and hope. You can still strive for greatness, but put the work in and then let go with complete faith that the universe will make thi

22、ngs right for you. Youll be amazed at how well it works.聽著，放手不是件容易的事，尤其如果你還是一個(gè)能干的人。但如果你想繼續(xù)成長，有時(shí)候你需要放棄對(duì)某些事的掌控，讓一切順其自然。這并不意味著你對(duì)待事情的態(tài)度是“靜觀其變”。你依然可以為了成就偉大而奮斗，只不過在努力之后，就可以放手，要相信上天會(huì)為你安排妥當(dāng)。你會(huì)驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)一切都很順利。,6.

23、 people have trouble grasping: if you dont take risks you will have a lot harder time accomplishing what you want in life. People who truly change the world are the biggest risk takers.

24、at each failure as an opportunity to grow and get better. 這又是一個(gè)很多人不能領(lǐng)會(huì)的殘酷現(xiàn)實(shí)：如果你不能冒險(xiǎn)，想實(shí)現(xiàn)你所追求的就會(huì)更加困難。那些真正改變世界的人都是最大的冒險(xiǎn)家。他們情愿讓一切出于危險(xiǎn)之中，也肯為了他們所信仰的事而失敗。他們認(rèn)為每一次失敗都是一次成長、變得更好的機(jī)會(huì)。,7. You may be better off without some of the people you currently care about. 沒有了你眼下在乎的某些人，你的生活也許更美好 This one is tough to hear,

Treat every moment with your loved ones as if its your last, and you wont have any regrets. 面對(duì)失去所愛之人的巨大痛苦，我們總是無所適從。殘酷的現(xiàn)實(shí)在于，這是一個(gè)黏性的循環(huán)。但是你可以做一些事情，讓這種痛苦減輕一些：從現(xiàn)在起就讓他們成為你人生中的一部分。別推遲給那些好久沒見的朋友或家人打電話或者上門拜訪。每次和你愛的人們相處時(shí)都把它當(dāng)做是最后一次，這樣你就不會(huì)有任何遺憾了。,9.
