關於人生哲理的英語短文

　　人生的哲理，大多蘊藏和鑲嵌在我們生活的細節裡。本文是，希望對大家有幫助!

　　：科學,種思維方式

　　Many scientists, from their earlier work, know enough to make good guesses on the solutions to the problems they are working on.

　　許多科學家從他們早期的工作中積累了很多知識,足以對他們鑽研的問題的解決方案做出很好的猜想。

　　In making new discoveries, they may use trial-and-error, they may use past experience, duanwenw or they may try to find out what others have discovered. They may come up with new experiments and new ways of testing their results. Scientists have to train themselves to use their brains efficiently; that is, they train themselves to think.

　　在探索新事物的時候,他們可以採用反覆試驗的方法,可以利用過去的經驗,或者是借鑑別人的探索成果。他們可以設計出新的試驗,研究出新的方法來檢驗他們的結果。科學家們得訓練自己有效地使用大腦;也就是說,訓練自己去思考。

　　For example, when Thomas A. Edison was trying to make an electric lamp, he needed a substance for the filament* inside the bulb that would glow brightly without burning up quickly. He tried more than a thousand different filaments before he found one that he could use. After each trial he thought about how the new substance had behaved. He kept notes and compared results. After he had experimented for a long time, someone asked Mr. Edison if he was ever discouraged by the time they thought he had wasted. He replied, "I have not been wasting time. I have just found a thousand materials that won’t work. Now I can look for others that will." Edison’s statement is important. Above all, scientists demand to know when and where they are wrong. A good question to ask in science is not, "Am I right? "but, "Am I wrong?"

　　例如,當托馬斯·阿爾瓦·愛迪生在發明電燈過程中,他需要一種既能發出明亮的光又不會很快燒燬的材料來作燈泡裡的燈絲。他嘗試了一千多種不同的燈絲後才找到一種適合的材料。每一次嘗試之後,他都在思索新的材料該如何發揮作用。他不斷地記筆記,比較結果。經過很長時間的實驗之後,有人問愛迪生,如此浪費時間他難道不感到沮喪?愛迪生回答說:"我並沒有浪費時間。我已經找出有一千種材料不管用。現在我可以尋找其他材料了。"愛迪生的話非常重要。最重要的是,科學家應該知道他們是在何時、何處錯了。在科學上,一個問得高明的問題並不是"我對不對?"而是"我錯沒錯?"

　　Scientists spend many years studying and training themselves to use their brains and the tools of investigation. duanwenw They also use each other’s work. Isaac Newton, the famous British scientist who lived over 300 years ago, once said he saw further than others because he stood on the shoulders of giants.

　　科學家經過多年的研究,訓練自己使用大腦和各種研究手段。他們也相互借鑑研究成果。生活在300多年前的英國著名科學家艾薩克·牛頓就曾說過,他之所以比別人看得更遠,是因為他站在巨人的肩膀上。

　　：我的信念

　　I believe it is possible for ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things. For me, the difference between an "ordinary" and an "extraordinary" person is not the title that person might have, but what they do to make the world a better place for us all.

　　我相信平凡的人可以做出不平凡的事。在我看來,普通人和偉人的區別並不在於頭銜,而在於他們做了什麼對人類有益的事。

　　I have no idea why people choose to do what they do. duanwenw When I was a kid I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I did know what I didn’t want to do. I didn’t want to grow up. And I certainly didn’t think about being an activist. I didn’t even really know what one was.

　　我不知道人們選擇從事某項工作的理由。當我還是個孩子時我並不知道我長大以後想做什麼,我只知道我不想做什麼。我不想長大,也從未想過做一個激進主義者。我根本不瞭解激進主義者是什麼。

　　My older brother was born deaf. Growing up, I ended up defending him and I often think that is what started me on my path to whatever it is I am today.

　　我哥哥生下來就耳聾。隨著我漸漸長大,最終是我保護他。我想這大概就是促使我走上今天這條道路的原因。

　　If I have any power as an individual, it’s because I work with other individuals in countries all over duanwenw the world. We are ordinary people and we’ve all worked together to bring about extraordinary change.

　　如果我個人擁有某種能力,那是因為我同世界各國的人們一起奮鬥。我們都是平凡的人,但我們通過共同努力帶來了神奇的變化。

　　I believe that words are easy. I believe that truth is told in the actions we take. And I believe that if enough ordinary people supported our desire for a better world with action we could accomplish absolutely extraordinary things.

　　行動勝於言行,真理蘊含在我們的行動裡。我堅信如果有許許多多的普通人拿出行動來支援我們創造一個

　　：譜寫生命的樂章

　　Suppose someone gave you a pen —a sealed, solid-colored pen.

　　假如有人送你一支筆,一支不可拆卸的單色鋼筆。

　　You couldn’t see how much ink it had. It might run dry after the first few words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece or several that would last forever. You don’t know before you begin.

　　你無法看出裡面究竟有多少墨水。或許你剛寫上幾個字,墨水就用完了;或許裡面的墨水足夠用來創作一部不朽鉅著或是幾部。但這些在你動筆之前是無法預知的。

　　Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance!

　　在這樣的遊戲規則下,你永遠無法預知結果。你只能去碰運氣!

　　Actually, no rule of the game states2 you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, duanwenw you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.

　　事實上,這個遊戲裡沒有規則指定你必須要做什麼。相反,你甚至可以根本不去動用這支筆,而是把它扔在書架上或是抽屜裡讓它的墨水乾枯

　　But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?

　　但是,如果你決定要用它的話,你會用它來做什麼呢?你將怎樣來進行這個遊戲呢?

　　Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? Would your plans be so many that you never even started writing?

　　你會不會老是做計劃,一個字也不寫?你會不會由於計劃過於巨集大而來不及動筆呢?

　　Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it?

　　或者你拿起筆就一頭扎進去,一直寫個不停?

　　Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, duanwenw or would you pretend or believe or pretend to believe that the pen will write forever?

　　你會小心謹慎地書寫,彷彿這支筆在下一刻就可能會乾枯;還是相信或假裝相信這支筆能夠永遠寫下去而信手寫來呢?

　　And of what would you write: Of love? Hate? Fun? Misery? Life? Death? Nothing? Everything?

　　你會寫下些什麼呢:愛?恨?喜?悲?生?死?虛無?萬物?

　　Would you stay in or on the lines, or see no lines at all, even if they were there?

　　你會寫線上內還是線上,還是根本看不到線,即使有線在那裡?

　　There’s a lot to think about here, isn’t there?

　　這裡面有許多東西要考慮,對不對?

　　Now, suppose someone gave you a life...

　　現在,假如有人給你一支生命的筆……
