1、選擇性失憶

I wish i could choose which memories to remenber or to come back the past without you 。 I try to persuade myself to give up ，but why did you invate me at this time ?

I warmed to you in evidence ，so i always wander with the smile where near you ，which stand for i crazy for you 。 As a matter of face ， i know ， i am a eternal abandoned that one in your world 。you are so grave at this class all the time 。 I admit ，when i found you had got along with her well ， i even jealoued of my chinese teacher 。There is no doubt that i believe you love her 。 But ， it dosen't matter， i ever have considered about it for a long time 。 It was a wrong thing that a student fell in love with her teacher 。Mabey ，it's time to give up of me ， so i will embrace the potential。

Sometimes ， i can't understand why i love you 。 However ， i found your smile dearly attracted me by accident 。 It goes without saying that my constant heart for you 。

If it could happen ， i wish i could love what i love ， do what i want ， and became your favorite 。

I convince of no one can take the place of you in my life 。

我希望我可以選擇性失憶，或者是回到沒有你的過去。我盡力說服我自己去放棄，但為什么在這個時候你又來干擾我？

我對你產生好感是顯而易見的，所以我總是帶著微笑在你的附近漫步，這代表著我對你的癡迷。事實上，我知道，在你的世界里我永遠是被遺棄的那一個。你一直對這個班級是如此的嚴肅。我承認，當我發(fā)現(xiàn)你和她相處的那么愉快，我甚至嫉妒我的語文老師。毫無疑問的我認為你喜歡她。但是，沒關系了，我曾經考慮這件事情用了很長一段時間。對于一個學生來說喜歡她的老師是錯誤的事情。也許，是到了我該放棄的時候，所以我會欣然接受。

有時候，我也不明白為什么我會喜歡你。然而，偶然之中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)你的微笑深深地吸引著我。而我對你的始終如一的心是不言而喻的。

如果這可能發(fā)生，我希望能夠愛我所愛，做我所想，并且成為你的最愛。 我堅信在我的生命里，沒有任何人可以代替你的位置。

2、But you didn't

But You didn't

anonymity

Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and dented it? I thought you'd kill me， but you didn't。

And remember the time I dragged you to the beach，

and you said it would rain， and it did?

I thought you'd say， "I told you so。" But you didn't。

Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make you jealous， and you were?

I thought you'd leave， but you didn't。

Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over your car rug?

I thought you'd hit me， but you didn't。

And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal and you showed up in jeans?

I thought you'd drop me， but you didn't。

Yes， there were lots of things you didn't do。

But you put up with me， and loved me， and protected me。 There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned from Vietnam。

But you didn't。

譯文：

但是你沒有

記得那天，我借用你的新車，我撞凹了它

我以為你一定會殺了我的

但是你沒有

記得那天，我在你的新地毯上吐了滿地的草莓餅

我以為你一定會厭惡我的

但是你沒有

記得那天，我拖你去海灘，而它真如你所說的下了雨

我以為你會說“我告訴過你”

但是你沒有

記得那天，我喝所有的男人調情好讓你嫉妒，而你真的嫉妒了

我以為你一定會離開我

但是你沒有

記得那天，我忘了告訴你那個舞會是要穿禮服的，而你卻穿了牛仔褲 我以為你一定要拋棄我了

但是你沒有

是的，有許多事情你都沒有做，而你容忍我鐘愛我保護我

有許多許多的事情我要回報你，等你從越南回來

但是你沒有

背景：作者是一位普通的美國婦女，她的丈夫當年應征入伍去了越南戰(zhàn)場，后來不幸陣亡。她終身守寡，直至年老病逝。她的女兒在整理遺物時發(fā)現(xiàn)了母親當年寫給父親的這首詩。

Miss Cold and Mr Wood點評：老婦人截取了她一生中的幾個小細節(jié)，當時她以為他會厭惡她，責備她，拋棄她，但是結局卻都是被溫柔的愛護。

當她想要彌補對他錯失的愛時，他卻再也不會回來了。最難過的事不是他不理你，也不是他不愛你，而是他不在了。

“不是蝴蝶飛不過滄海，而是滄海那頭已經沒有了等待�！�

男主角雖然沒有出場，但是讀者無時無刻不感受到他的脈脈溫情，他好像就站在離她不遠的地方，臉上帶著笑意，看著她把自己弄得一團糟，然后等她手無足措的時候幫她收拾爛攤子。

當他離開后，她腦海中全部是他的好。

漫漫一生，那些爭吵，那些分歧，那些歇斯底里，那些出離憤怒，全部都被過濾掉了，只剩下他的好，和她的左心房一同溫暖跳躍。

她從一個朝氣蓬勃的小姑娘變成一個只有回憶的老太婆，從前她不曾孤單，因為有他在；此后，她不知生命還有多久多漫長。時間似乎凝結在了某處，怎么睡了一覺醒來，還是天黑黑。

多希望他在，和他一起看日出，如果他睡懶覺，就等他一起看夕陽。偶爾誣陷他對隔壁的老太太飛眼兒，還要故意和他吵吵架，故意讓他百口莫辯，然后再裝作很寬容的原諒他這個“除了她別人都不會喜歡的糟老頭子”。曾經想到最浪漫的事就是和他一起慢慢變老，如今她已經白發(fā)蒼蒼，兒孫滿堂，而他被留在了遙遠的國度，依舊是年輕的模樣。

3、The Life I Desired 我所追求的生活

That must be the story of innumerable couples， and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace。 It reminds you of a placid rivulet， meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees， till at last it falls into the vasty sea; but the sea is so calm， so silent， so infifferent， that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness。 Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature， strong in me even in those days， that i felt in such an existence， the share of the great majority， something amiss。 I recognized its social value。 I saw its ordered happiness， but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course。 There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights。 In my heart was desire to live more dangerously。 I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous， shoals it I could only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen。

這一定是世間無數(shù)對夫妻的生活寫照，這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。它使人想起一條平靜的溪流，蜿蜒暢游過綠茵的草場，濃蔭遮蔽，最后注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜，太過沉默，太過不動聲色，你會突然感到莫名的不安。也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法，在那樣的時代，這想法對我影響很深：我覺得這像大多數(shù)人一樣的生活，似乎欠缺了一點兒什么。我承認這種生活有社會價值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液里的沖動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程．這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活。只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激，我愿意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘。

Change A Little A Day: Start From Now

There are some people that are content with their situation in life, but everyone has something they want to excel in; something they want to be proud of. Unfortunately, most people don’t have the drive to do something about it. They waste away their time and talents day dreaming of what could be instead of living the life they want.

People are constantly taking the easy road in life: it’s less risky, it doesn’t involve a lot of effort and it’s comfortable. Change requires you to step out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. You have to change yourself, your surroundings even your habits.

Change is difficult. If it were easy, we would all be famous billionaires living in mansions. The fact that it’s hard is what makes change and improvement so great. Improving your life will result in several positive outcomes such as, giving you a better sense of self, making you a better person, mother father, friend, etc. and you’ll find yourself being happier in general. You need to understand that changing yourself for the better won’t take away challenges in your life—it will just prepare you to be able to face them.

If you have tried to change in the past and failed, don’t quit. You can still change and start making a difference in your life. The following tips will get you set on the path to action. When you do these things, you are preparing yourself to do more than just dream about the life you want; you are getting yourself on the path to achieving it. Use these tips as guidelines to make the changes in your life that you want to see.

1. The first step toward changing is knowing what you want to change and why.

Take the time to sit down and write down your goals. Also write down why you want to change; make this as in-depth as you can because it will be a foundation for you. This is something you will be able to go back to when you are feeling like it’s too hard or you have forgotten why it’s important.

2. Tell people your goals.

It can be embarrassing for some people to share with others what’s in their heart; but it’s necessary. In order to change, you have to be held

accountable. Letting someone else know what you are trying to do will ensure that you have someone to answer to. Make sure this person is someone who will continue to encourage you and isn’t afraid to ask how things are moving along.

3. Replace bad habits with good ones.

Stopping something cold turkey is hard, so it’s best to replace the unwanted habit with something positive. If you have a major addiction, there are other steps you will have to take. If it’s just a bad habit, such as looking at Facebook too much, replace that with something like going for a walk

around the block. If you are trying to stick within a budget, play a game with your family instead of going shopping. Find something positive to do that will replace the negative things in your life.

4. Change is not easy, but it’s easier when you have someone to do it with. Find a partner, coach, friend or family member who might be in the same situation as you. If you want to start working out, set up times when the two of you can go exercise together. If you want to get up earlier, call each other in the morning and encourage one another to get up and get moving.

Whatever changes you want to make, find a way to include someone else in them. You will be each other’s support, can hold one another accountable for what you do or don’t do.

5. Get rid of distractions.

There are things everywhere in our houses, our workplaces, and even our schools that can and will distract us from changing into the kind of people we want to be. Our phones, computers, iPads, etc. are all wonderful tools that we have at our disposal, but they can also hinder us. We spend so much time texting, emailing and checking various social media platforms. That is time that could be used doing something productive. Limit the amount of time you spend on the computer. Set an alarm and when it goes off, you’re done.

6. Turn off the TV.

I know so many people who have the TV on in the background while they are trying to get stuff done. I am guilty of this. In the past I would turn on a movie while I was trying to work or clean the house, but every time, I would find myself sitting on the couch watching instead of being up and moving. I decided to listen to audio books instead: that way I don’t have anything visual distracting me from the things I need to get done but I still have something entertaining or educational to listen to.

7. Only say positive things to yourself.

When you fail it’s easy to point out everything you did wrong, but that is so discouraging. Instead, say to yourself, “I can do hard things.” You have the ability to change, you just have to believe in yourself. Don’t beat yourself down.

8. Serve other people.

It’s funny how service works: you go out expecting to help someone else in need and you end up helping yourself. When you serve others, you feel better about yourself, you make a difference in someone’s life, and you give back to the community.

9. Recognize the good things you do, no matter how small.

Many people might skip this step because it feels arrogant and prideful. IT’S NOT! Changing yourself is about evaluating where you are in life, what you’re doing and why you’re doing those things. When you make a change, even if it’s something simple, acknowledge it, don’t brush it off like it doesn't mean anything. It means everything! It means that you’re actually doing it, you’re changing.

Change A Little A Day: Start From Now

There are some people that are content with their situation in life, but everyone has something they want to excel in; something they want to be proud of.

Unfortunately, most people don’t have the drive to do something about it. They waste away their time and talents day dreaming of what could be instead of living the life they want.

有一些人對他們的生活狀況很滿意，但每人都想有擅長的事情，想有為之自豪的事情。不幸的是，大部分的人沒有力量驅動他們去做。他們浪費了時間和天賦，做著想要的生活的白日夢。

People are constantly taking the easy road in life: it’s less risky, it doesn’t involve a lot of effort and it’s comfortable. Change requires you to step out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. You have to change yourself, your surroundings even your habits.

人們不斷地選擇著生活中容易的道路：風險低、不需要太多努力，而且很舒服。改變需要你走出當前的舒適區(qū)，進入未知的未來。你必須要改變自己，改變你的環(huán)境，甚至你的習慣。

Change is difficult. If it were easy, we would all be famous billionaires living in mansions. The fact that it’s hard is what makes change and improvement so great. Improving your life will result in several positive outcomes such as, giving you a better sense of self, making you a better person, mother father, friend, etc. and you’ll find yourself being happier in general. You need to understand that changing yourself for the better won’t take away challenges in your life—it will just prepare you to be able to face them.

改變是困難的。如果很容易，那我們就都是生活在豪宅中著名的億萬富翁了。就是因為它很難，才使得改變和提高顯得很棒。改善你的生活會有很多積極的結果。例如，會讓你自我感覺更好，讓你成為一個更好的人、更好的父親/母親、朋友等。你會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己更開心。你需要明白的是：讓自己變得更好并不會讓生活中的挑戰(zhàn)變少——但這樣做會讓你準備好來面對挑戰(zhàn)。

If you have tried to change in the past and failed, don’t quit. You can still change and start making a difference in your life. The following tips will get you set on the path to action. When you do these things, you are preparing yourself to do more than just dream about the life you want; you are getting yourself on the path to achieving it. Use these tips as guidelines to make the changes in your life that you want to see.

如果你在過去嘗試著改變但以失敗告終，不要放棄。你還可以改變，讓你的生活變得不同。下面的小貼士會讓你開始行動。當你做這些事情時，你不只是在夢想生活，而且你會往爭取那樣生活的路上前進。用這些小貼士做準則，讓你的生活朝著想要的方向發(fā)展。

1. The first step toward changing is knowing what you want to change and why.

1. 改變的第一步是弄清你想要改變什么以及改變的原因。

Take the time to sit down and write down your goals. Also write down why you want to change; make this as in-depth as you can because it will be a foundation for you. This is something you will be able to go back to when you are feeling like it’s too hard or you have forgotten why it’s important.

拿點兒時間坐下來，把你的目標寫下來。也把你想改變的原因寫下來。盡量寫地深入一些，因為它是你改變的基礎。當你感覺太難了或你忘記了為什么它很重要時，就可以再回頭看看這些內容。

2. Tell people your goals.

2. 把你的目標告訴給別人。

It can be embarrassing for some people to share with others what’s in their heart; but it’s necessary. In order to change, you have to be held accountable. Letting someone else know what you are trying to do will ensure that you have someone to answer to. Make sure this person is someone who will continue to encourage you and isn’t afraid to ask how things are moving along.

對有些人而言，和他人分享心中的想法有些尷尬；但這是必要的。要想改變，你需要有人對你負責。讓別人知道你嘗試去做的事情會確保有人對你負責。確保這個人會一直鼓勵你，不怕去問你的進展。

3. Replace bad habits with good ones.

3. 用好的習慣來代替壞習慣。

Stopping something cold turkey is hard, so it’s best to replace the unwanted habit with something positive. If you have a major addiction, there are other steps you will have to take. If it’s just a bad habit, such as looking at Facebook too much, replace that with something like going for a walk around the block. If you are trying to stick within a budget, play a game with your family instead of going shopping. Find something positive to do that will replace the negative things in your life.

戒掉壞習慣很難，所以最好用好習慣代替不想要的習慣。如果你的癮很大，那你需要采取其他步驟。如果只是個壞習慣，如看Facebook看得太多，那你可以把它

What I Have Lived for我為何而生

- By Bertrand Russell伯特蘭·羅素

《我為何而生》引自《伯特蘭·羅素自傳》。它既是作者心靈的抒發(fā)，也是生命體驗的總結。作者以深刻的感悟和敏銳的目光，分析了人生中的三種激情，即對愛的渴望，對知識的追求和對人類苦難的同情。對愛的渴望，使人欣喜若狂，既能解除孤獨，又能發(fā)現(xiàn)美好的未來。對知識的追求，使人理解人心，了解宇宙，掌握科學。愛和知識把人引向天堂般的境界，而對人類的同情之心又使人回到苦難深重的人間。作者認為這就是人生，值得為此再活一次的人生。這篇散文似乎信手拈來，但卻耐人尋味。充滿激情，充滿感慨，充滿智慧，情文并茂，邏輯性和感染力極強。

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me higher and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the verge of despair.

三種簡單但是無比強烈的感情主導著我的人生：對愛的渴望、對知識的尋求和對人類苦難的深切同情。這些感情如同颶風一樣沒有方向地將我吹得越來越高、越來越遠，越過痛苦的海洋到達絕望的邊緣。

I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy-ecstasy so great that I would have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness-that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what - at last - I have found.

我尋找愛，因為愛讓我著迷——這種沉迷如此美好，我寧愿放棄生命中的一切只為換來片刻的對愛的沉迷。我尋找愛，因為愛會減輕孤獨——在可怕的孤獨中，顫抖的靈魂透過世界的邊際看到的是冰冷的、深不可測的、沒有生命的深淵。我尋找愛，因為在愛的結合中，我看到了一個神秘的具體而微小的世界，這是圣人與詩人想象中的天堂景象的預示。這是我所尋求的，并且我最終發(fā)現(xiàn)，它對于人類來說是再美好不過的東西了。

With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And l have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds away above the flux. A little of this, but, not much, I have achieved.

以同樣的熱情，我尋求知識。我曾想要理解人的心靈；我曾想知道為什么星星如此閃亮。我曾試圖理解畢達哥拉斯的力量，這種力量使數(shù)字凌駕于萬物之上。在這些方面我獲取了一些知識，但不是很多。

Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heaven. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberated in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and i too suffer. 愛和知識，只要可能實現(xiàn)，就會引領我走向天堂。但是同情常常將我?guī)Щ噩F(xiàn)實。

痛苦的哭喊回蕩在我的心中。饑餓的孩子，被剝削者壓迫的人民、貧窮和痛苦，這些都在嘲諷人類的生活的本來面目。我渴望減輕邪惡，但是我無法做到，我亦在遭受痛苦。

This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and I would gladly live it again if the chance were offered to me.

這就是我的人生。我認為它值得擁有并且如果可能，我愿意重新再來一次。
