论择友 on seeking friends Anonymous A good companion is better than a fortune, for a fortune cannot purchase those elements of character which make companionship a blessing. The best companion is one who is wiser and better than ourselves, for we are inspired by his wisdom and virtue to nobler deeds. Greater wisdom and goodness than we possess lifts us higher mentally and morally. “A man is known by the companion he keeps.” It is always true. Companionship of a high order is powerful to develop character. Character makes character in the associations of life faster than anything else. Purity begets purity, like begets like; and this fact makes the choice of companion in early life more important even than that of teachers and guardians It is true that we cannot always choose all of our companions, some are thrust upon us by business or the social relations of life, we do not choose them, we do not enjoy them; and yet, we have to associate with them more or less. The experience is not altogether without compensation, if there be principle enough in us to bear the strain. Still, in the main, choice of companions can be made, and must be made. It is not best or necessary for a young person to associate with “Tom, Dick, and Harry” without forethought or purpose. Some fixed rules about the company he or she keeps must be observed. The subject should be uttermost in the thoughts, and canvassed often Companionship is education, good or not; it develops manhood or womanhood, high or low; it lifts soul upward or drags it downward; it minister to virtue or vice. There is no half way work about its influence. If it ennobles, it does grandly, if it demoralizes, it doest it devilishly. It saves or destroys lustily. Nothing in the world is surer than this. Sow virtue, and the harvest will be virtue, Sow vice, and the harvest will be vice. Good companionships help us to sow virtue; evil companionships help us to sow vice. 佚名 一个好友胜过一笔财富。
人性中有一些品质会让友谊变成一种幸福的事，而金钱买不到这些品质。
最好的朋友是那些比我们更睿智和更出色的人，他们的智慧和美德会激发我们去做更高尚的事情。
他们有着比我们更多的智慧和更高尚的情操，可以在精神上和道德上将我们带入一个新的境界。
gmX中国英语学习网 “观其友而知其人”，这句话总是对的。
高层次的交往会有力地塑造一个人的性情。
在交往中，品性对品性的影响胜过其它任何因素。
纯洁的品格会培养纯洁的品格，爱好会引发相同的爱好。
这些表明，在年少时，选择朋友甚至比选择老师和监护人还要重要。
不可否认，有些朋友总是我们不能选择的。
有些是工作和社会关系强加于我们的。
我们没有选择他们，也不喜欢他们，可是我们不得不或多或少地与他们交往。
不过，只要我们心中有足够的原则来承担压力，与他们交往也并非毫无益处。
在大多数情况下，我们还是可以选择朋友的，而且，必须选择。
一个年轻人毫无前瞻性，也无目的性地随意与张三李四交往，是不好的，也是没必要的。
他必须遵守一些确定的交友原则，应当把它们摆在心中最高的位置，并经常加以审视。
无论是有益的还是有害的友谊，都是一种教导。
它可以培育或是高贵，或是卑微的品格；它可以使灵魂升华，也可以使之堕落；它可以滋生美德，也可以催生邪恶；它的影响没有折中之道：如果它让人高尚，就会用一种无比高贵的方式，如果让人堕落，也会用一种无比邪恶的方式。
它可以有力地拯救一个人，也可以轻易地毁掉一个人。
播种美德，就会收获美德；播种邪恶，就会收获邪恶，这是非常确定的，而有益的友谊帮我们播种美德，有害的友谊则支使我们撒下邪恶的种子。

According to legend, a young man while roaming the desert came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water. The water was so sweet, he filled his leather canteen so he could bring some back to a tribal elder who had been his teacher. 据传说，一个年轻的男子在漫游沙漠途中看到一泉如水晶般清澈而可口的水。
水的味道非常甜美，于是他灌满了他的皮水壶，这样就可以带一些回去，送给曾经是他老师的部落长老。
After a four-day journey he presented the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart. 经过四天的旅程，他把水呈献给老人。
老人深饮一口，和蔼地笑了笑，并深切感激学生赠予他甜美的水。
年轻人怀着愉快的心情回到了村庄。
Later, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It apparently had become stale because of the old leather container.后来，老师让他的另一个学生品尝水。
学生吐了出来，说水太难喝了。
它显然已经因为陈旧的皮革容器而变得不再新鲜。
The student challenged his teacher: Master, the water was foul. Why did you pretend to like it?学生质疑他的老师：“师父，水是臭的，你为什么要假装喜欢它
”The teacher replied, You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for an act of loving-kindness and nothing could be sweeter.老师回答说，“你只品尝了水的味道，我却是在品尝礼物的味道。
水仅仅是装载善与爱之行为的容器，而没有什么东西比善与爱更甜美了。
”I think we understand this lesson best when we receive innocent gifts of love from young children. Whether it's a ceramic tray or a macaroni bracelet, the natural and proper response is appreciation and expressed thankfulness because we love the idea within the gift.我认为当我们从天真的孩子们那里收到爱的礼物时，能够最透彻地明白这个道理。
无论它是一个陶瓷托盘或通心粉手镯，我们自然而恰当的反应是欣赏，并表示感激，因为我们喜欢礼物所包含的心意。
Gratitude doesn't always come naturally. Unfortunately, most children and many adults value only the thing given rather than the feeling embodied in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty and purity of feelings and expressions of gratitude. After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.感恩并不总是自然而来的。
不幸的是，大多数儿童和成人只看重被赠予的东西本身，而不是它体现的情谊。
我们应该提醒自己，并教导我们的孩子，感情和对感激之情的表达是美丽而纯洁的。
毕竟，发自内心给与的礼物才是真正的礼物。

--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow .沃兹渥斯.朗费罗 The day is cold,and dark,and dreary; It rains,and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the moldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. My life is cold and dark and dreary; It rains and the wind is never weary; My though still cling to the moldering past, But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, And the days are dark and dreary. Be still,sad heart!And cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. 天冷、阴暗、沉闷 下着雨，刮个不停； 藤还攀附垣残壁， 每来一阵狂风，枯叶附落纷纷， 天真是阴暗而沉闷。
我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷； 下着雨，风也刮个不停； 我的思想还纠缠着消逝的往事， 大风里，我的青春希望相继熄灭， 天真是阴暗而沉闷。
安静吧，忧伤的心
别再悔恨； 乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂； 你命运和大家的一样， 每个人一生都得逢上阴雨， 有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。
Henry David Thoreau\\\/享利.大卫.梭罗 However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. 不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。
它不像你那样坏。
你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。
爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。
你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。
甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。
夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。
我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。
城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。
也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。
大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。
视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧
不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。
找旧的，回到那里去。
万物不变，是我们在变。
你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
爱情的见证 Love's Witness Slight unpremeditated Words are borne By every common Wind into the Air; Carelessly utter'd, die as soon as born， And in one instant give both Hope and Fear： Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind According to the Caprice of the Mind. But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses， Substantial Records to Eternity; Just Evidences，who the Truth confess, On which the Lover safely may rely； They're serious Thoughts，digested and resolv'd； And last，when Words are into Clouds devolv'd. 不加思索的轻率话语， 被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气； 随便说说，刚出口即消失， 一瞬间给人希望和恐惧： 同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠， 追随心灵无常的遐想。
但情书则是恒常的见证， 直至永恒的实体记录； 公道的证物，它道出真诚， 恋人能在其上安心依附； 它们是严肃的思想，经过深思熟虑； 当话语在云外消失，它们还将延续。
--------------------------- 从不说他做不到 We Never Told Him He Couldn't Do It My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally - but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk . The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn't know. In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others - perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know. He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day - even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt. Okay, he said. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 103-degree fever. So he didn't know. Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade - the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it. We never told him he couldn't do it...so he didn't know. He just did it. 从不说他做不到 我的儿子琼尼降生时，他的双脚向上弯弯着，医生向我们保证说经过治疗，小琼尼可以像常人一样走路，但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。
琼尼3岁之前一直在接受治疗，和支架、石膏模子打交道。
七八岁的时候，他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿有过毛病。
邻居的小孩子们做游戏的时候总是跑过来跑过去。
毫无疑问小琼尼看到他们玩就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。
我们从不告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑，我们从不说他和别的孩子不一样。
因为我们不对他说，所以他不知道。
七年级的时候，琼尼决定参加跑步横穿全美的比赛。
每天他和大伙一块训练。
也许是意识到自己先天不如别人，他训练得比任何人都刻苦。
训练队的前7名选手可以参加最后比赛，为学校拿分。
我们没有告诉琼尼；也许会落空，所以他不知道。
他坚持每天跑4~5英里。
我永远不会忘记有一次，他发着高烧，但仍坚持训练。
我为他担心，于是去学校看他，发现他正在一个人沿着长长的林荫道跑步呢。
我问他感觉怎么样，很好。
他说。
还剩下最后两英里。
他满脸是汗，眼睛因为发烧失去了光彩。
然而他目不斜视，坚持着跑下来。
我们从没有告诉他不能发着高烧去跑4英里的路，我们从没有这样对他说，所以他不知道。
两个星期后，在决赛前的3天，长跑队的名次被确定下来。
琼尼是第六名，他成功了。
他才是个七年级生，而其余的人都是八年级生。
我们从没有告诉他不要去期望入选，我们从没有对他说他不会成功。
是的，从没说起过……所以他不知道，但他却做到了
