經(jīng)典英語美文閱讀:生活在此時此刻
記得有人說過 --- 生活很簡單。人的喜怒哀樂只是簡簡單單的在
人生中展露出來。 下面是為大家的經(jīng)典英語美文閱讀: 生活在此時此
刻,歡迎參考 ~
To a large degree ,the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present
moment.Irrespective
of what
happened yeste

year ,
and what may or may not
happen tomorrow ,the
present
moment is
where you are --always.
我們內(nèi)心是否平和在很大程度上是由我們是否能生活在現(xiàn)實之
中所決定的。不管昨天或去年發(fā)生了什么, 不管明天可能發(fā)生或不發(fā)
生什么,現(xiàn)實才是你時時刻刻所在之處。
Without question ,many of us have mastered the neuro

art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of
things --all at once.We allow past problems and future concerns
to dominate our present moments
,so much so that we end up
anxious ,frustrated
,depressed ,and hopeless.
毫無疑問,我們很多人掌握了一種神經(jīng)兮兮
4、的藝術(shù),即把生活
中的大部分時間花在為種種事情擔心憂慮上 --- 而且常常是同時憂慮
許多事情。我們聽憑過去的麻煩和未來的擔心控制我們此時此刻的生
活,以致我們整日焦慮不安,萎靡不振,甚至沮喪絕望。

‘someday’
will be better than
today.Unfortunately ,the same mental dynamics that
tell
us to
look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that
"someday " never actually arrives.
而另一方面我們又推遲我們的滿足感,推遲我們應優(yōu)先考慮的
事情,推遲我們的幸福感, 常常說服自
6、己“有朝一日”會比今天更好。
不幸的是,如此告誡我們朝前看的大腦動力只能重復來重復去, 以致
“有朝一日”永遠不會真正來臨。
John Lennon once said ,‘ Life is what’s happening while
we’re busy making other plans. ’Whenwe’re busy making
‘other
plans
’, our children are busy growing up
,the people we love
7、are moving away and dying ,our bodies are getting
out of shape,
and our dreams are slipping
away.In short ,we miss out on life.
約翰列農(nóng)曾經(jīng)說過:“生活就是當我們忙于制定別的計劃時發(fā)生的事。”當我們忙于制定種種“別的計劃”時,我們的孩子在忙于長大,我們摯愛的人離去了甚至快去世了,我們的體型變樣了,而我們的夢想也在悄然溜走了。一句話,我們錯過了生活。
Many people live as if life

he or she will be here tomorrow.Now is the only time we have

許多人的生活好像是某個未來日子的彩排。 并非如此。事實上,
沒人能保證他或她明天肯定還活著。
10、現(xiàn)在是我們所擁有的惟一時間,
現(xiàn)在也是我們能控制的惟一時間。當我們將注意力放在此時此刻時,
我們就將恐懼置于腦后。恐懼就是我們擔憂某些事情會在未來發(fā)生
--- 我們不會有足夠的錢,我們的孩子會惹上麻煩,我們會變老,會死去,諸如此類。
To

best strategy6)
is
to learn
to
bring your
attention back to the present.Mark Twain said

I can say it any better.Practice
keeping
your attention on the

若要克服恐懼心理,最佳策略便是學會將你的注意力拉回此時
此刻。馬克吐溫說過: “我經(jīng)歷過生活中一些可怕的事情,有些的
確發(fā)生過?!蔽蚁胛艺f不出比這更具內(nèi)涵的話。經(jīng)常將注意力集中于
此情此景、此時此刻,你的努力終會有豐厚的報償。
