　　　优秀的英语散文:为什么失败价值连城？

　　Failure is not good.

　　失败没什么好的。

　　There is absolutely nothing good about failure. And there's nothing you can pretend to learn from failure.

　　失败绝对不是什么好事。你也不能假装能从失败当中学到什么东西。

　　You can't learn anything from failure because don't forget that every single moment in your past has added up to that one moment in your present - where you are lying on the floor moaning your painful and abysmal failure.

　　你从失败里根本学不到东西，因为你别忘了，你躺在地上为你痛苦和糟糕的失败而抱怨，而正是过去的每个瞬间加和所造成的。

　　Here are better things to learn from. Failure has many cousins. Learn from one of the cousins:

　　这有更好的东西值得去学习。很多东西都与失败有关联，你只要从其中一个那里学习：

　　Curiosity: When something happens and you don't understand why, then ask, "Why?"Keep asking questions. Clearly, something confusing happened. Ask and ask and ask.Guess what will happen: you will get answers.

　　好奇心：当某些事发生了但你却不知道缘由时，你就要问：“为什么?”保持问问题的习惯。很明显，总会有让你困惑的事情发生，问、问、问就好。

　　Persistence: I get asked: how do I market my book? Or my app? Answer: write another book. Write another app.

　　持之以恒：别人问：“我怎么推销我的书呢?还有我的应用怎么办?”回答是：“再写本书，再做个应用。”

　　The best way to get better, to get more known, to learn the subtleties of your art or your field or your sport, is to simply do it again.

　　想要变得更好、知道得更多、学习培养艺术的敏感度或者开发属于你自己的领域或运动，最简单的就是重复做。

　　Forgiveness: I used to live in regret. One time I sold a business for million. Within two years I had lost almost all of the money.

　　宽容：我生活中老爱后悔。有一次我做了一笔1500万美元的生意。两年之内，我几乎失去了我所有的钱。

　　And it wasn't money on paper. It was money in "real life". If I tell you how I lost it you would hate me forever. That's ok. But it's not important for this answer.

　　并且那不是理论上的钱，而是真真实实的钱。如果我告诉你我是怎么弄丢的，你会恨我一辈子的。那没关系的，但是对这个回答并不重要。

　　"Failure" is a word used to label a past event. That's 100% up to you how you label a past event.

　　“失败”这个词是用来标记过去的。那100%是在于你怎么去定义过去的事情。

　　When you label a past event "failure" it prevents you from moving beyond the past. You get stuck there. You keep time traveling to the moment of failure under the excuse that there is something to learn there.

　　如果你把过去的事情标记为“失败”的话，你就不能从自己的过去中走出来了。你会一直停留在那里。你以“可以从中学到东西”为由不停地回到过去，回到失败的那一刻。

　　The thing you learn first is forgiveness. Then you move back to the present. Get healthy. Be around people you love. Start being creative again.

　　你要学会的第一件事就是宽容。然后你才能回到当下，变得健康，回到你爱的人身边，重新开始去创造一切。

　　优秀的英语散文:你为什么单身？

　　I'm single because:

　　我单身是因为：

　　I am very, very, very picky. I figure I'd rather be single than be stuck in a relationship with someone I'm not totally crazy about.

　　我非常、非常、非常挑剔。我想我宁可单身也不要被困在和我一点也不喜欢的人在一起的关系中。

　　Unfortunately, the few who pass my standards do not seem to like me that way.

　　不幸的是，少数达到我交往标准的人似乎并不那么喜欢我。

　　I'm lazy. I don't make much of an effort to meet people and get to know mildly interesting people.

　　我很懒。我并没有在迎合别人上花费太多精力，也没有去结交稍微有点意思的人。

　　I'm busy. I work a lot. Also, I do a lot of other things when I'm not at work and most of them do not involve meeting single men.

　　我很忙，我工作繁重，我在工作以外的时间也有很多其他事情要做，而他们之中的大部分都无关和单身男子见面的事。

　　I'm shy. I will not make the first move because rejection sucks.

　　我很害羞，我不会走出第一步，因为被发卡实在是太糟糕了。

　　I take relationships seriously, that is something I can't help, so I become pretty emotionally involved. This results in me being extremely picky. Also, because relationships are so important to me when I have one, it's not really compatible with my being extremely busy at this younger stage in my life.

　　我会忍不住很认真地对待情侣关系，所以我会投入很多感情。这就导致我在这方面非常挑剔。也正是因为情侣关系对我如此重要，当我谈恋爱的时候，我将无法将它和我人生里这个较为年轻的阶段中忙碌的生活之间的关系处理好。

　　Or maybe just because I'm young and don't really know what I am looking for, and thus am commitment-phobic.

　　或者也有可能只是因为我还年轻，并不知道自己真正想要的是什么，因此害怕给出承诺。

　　优秀的英语散文:你尽力了，但仍然会出问题

　　My favorite movie of all-time is Cool Runnings. It is loosely based on the true story about the 1988 Jamaican Bobsled team who competed in the Calgary Winter Olympics.

　　我一直以来最喜爱的电影是《凉爽的跑道》。它基本上根据1988年牙买加雪橇队参加卡尔加里冬奥会的故事改编的。

　　I loved it as a 12 year old kid, and always kept it as my favorite movie.

　　当我还是12岁的小孩子的时候我就喜欢这部电影，而且一直把它当做我最喜爱的电影。

　　It is silly, but also inspirational.

　　这很蠢，但是很鼓舞人心。

　　When I watch the movie now, I look at it at a much deeper level.

　　现在当我观看这部电影的时候，我看得是更深层的东西。

　　Here’s what I mean. After they qualify for the Olympics, they get three runs, on three separate days.

　　我的意思是。他们获得奥运资格之后，他们分别在三天有三场比赛。

　　The first run is a disaster, the second run is incredible, and the third one is when they crash.

　　第一场是场灾难，第二场不可思议，第三场比赛他们坠落。

　　I am going to break these runs down for you and compare them to everyday life.

　　我将把这三场比赛为你们分开来讲述，并把它们和我们的生活做个对比。

　　The driver of the 4-Man sled was obsessed with watching the Swiss team practice and compete.

　　四人雪橇的队长痴迷于观看瑞士队的训练和比赛。

　　Before the Jamaican’s first run, they copied the Swiss’ team style and technique and they weren’t true to themselves. Their first run was a bust, and they ended up in last place after the first day.

　　牙买加队的第一场比赛之前，他们复制了瑞士队的训练方式和技巧，他们没有忠于自己的风格。第一场比赛下来他们输惨了，第一天的比赛结束后他们排名倒水第一。

　　After some reflection and pep talks, the team went back to their roots. They were true to themselves, and they were 100% prepared for the second run. Everything clicked and they moved into 8th place.

　　一些反思和鼓舞之后，牙买加队回归他们的战术，忠于自己的风格，并且全力以赴准备第二场比赛。所有的努力都奏效了，他们挤进了前八名。

　　The final run they once again were true to themselves. They were pumped up, and more than prepared. Their starting push time was incredible and the announcer even went as far as calling them “champs” during that run.

　　最后一场比赛他们也一样忠于自己。他们热切期盼着，而且准备得更加充分。开始的一段他们表现得十分出色，观众们甚至大喊着称他们为“冠军” 。

　　Unfortunately, that rickety old sled they used couldn’t hold up and they crashed. Everyone knows what happened next. They picked up the sled and finished the race.

　　不幸的是，他们摇摇晃晃的旧雪橇没能撑住，他们坠落了。接下来发生的事大家都清楚。他们捡起雪橇，完成了比赛。

　　Now, why am I breaking down Cool Runnings? I think you can use the three runs they had and can make them relate to your lives.

　　所以，为什么我把《凉爽的跑道》分开了?我认为他们的这三段比赛有所启示，而且可以让它们和你的生活联系起来。

　　You can be like the first run and try to be someone else. You can be jealous of other people. You can go off course and not be true to yourself.

　　你可能像第一场比赛一样，尝试成为其他人。你可能嫉妒别人。你可能偏离轨道变得不像你自己了。

　　And like that last place run by the Jamaican team, you may also see yourself finishing in last.

　　就像牙买加队拿了倒数第一一样，你可能也看到自己拿了倒数第一。

　　You won’t be happy when you look at yourself in the mirror, because you aren’t being true to who you are.

　　当你看着镜子里的自己，你也会不开心，因为你没有做你自己。

　　You can be like the second run and be true to yourself. God gives us all so many special and unique gifts.

　　你可能像第二场比赛一样忠于自己。上帝赐予我们每个人许多特别二独一无二的礼物。

　　Whether it’s the gift of kindness or being understanding, the gift of humor, or just being a loyal friend, we all have something that makes us who we are.

　　无论是不是善意的礼物，无论是否被理解，像幽默感，或者只是作为他人忠实的朋友，我们都有一些与众不同的东西使我们成为我们自己。

　　When you realize what you can offer, it is important to use our gifts for good. When you do this, you will see the fruits of your labor.

　　当你意识到你可以给予什么，用这些礼物去行善很重要。当你这样做了，你就会看到你因付出得到的收获。

　　The third run is the true reality of life.

　　第三场比赛好比现实生活。

　　Sometimes you can be prepared. Sometimes you can go into a situation or relationship with all of the best intentions in the world.

　　有时候你有所准备，有时候你可能处于世界上最顺利的境遇之下或者最有希望的一段关系之中。

　　Sometimes you can be the best “you” possible, but something will still go wrong. That is life.

　　有时候你是所能做到的最好的“你”，但是有时候仍然会出问题。这就是人生。

　　However, just like those four Jamaicans who crashed the sled, you can get up and finish the race. Always finish the race.

　　然而，就像那四个坠落雪橇的牙买加人，你可以爬起来完成比赛。永不放弃。
