The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints;we spend more, but have less;we buy more but enjoy less.我們這個時代在歷史上的說法就是我們擁有更高的建筑，但是有更暴的脾氣；我們擁有更寬闊的高速公路，卻有更狹隘的觀點；我們花費得更多，擁有得卻更少；我們購買得更多卻享受得更少。

We have bigger houses and smaller families;more conveniences, but less time;we have more degrees, but less sense;more knowledge, but less judgment;more experts, but more problems;more medicine, but less wellness.我們的房子越來越大，家庭卻越來越小；便利越來越多，時間卻越來越少；學位越來越多，感覺卻越來越少；知識越來越多，觀點卻越來越少；專家越來越多，問題也越來越多；藥物越來越多，健康卻越來越少。

We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.我們喝得太多，花錢大手大腳，笑得太少，開車太快，易怒，熬夜，賴床，書讀得越來越少，電視看得越來越多，卻很少向上帝祈禱。

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life;we’ve added years to life, not life to years.我們常常夸夸其談，卻很少付出愛心，且常常心中充滿了仇恨。我們學會了如何謀生，而不知如何生活。我們延長了生命的期限，而不是生活的期限。

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space;we’ve done larger things, but not better things.我們登上了月球，并成功返回，卻不能穿過街道去拜訪新鄰居。我們已經征服了太空，卻征服不了自己的內心；我們的事業越做越大，但質量卻沒有提高。

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul;we’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice.We write more, but learn less;we plan more, but accomplish less.我們清潔了空氣，卻污染了靈魂；我們分離了原子，卻無法驅除我們的偏見；我們寫得更多，學到的卻更少；我們的計劃更多，完成的卻更少。

We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait;we have higher incomes, but, lower morals.我們學會了奔跑，卻忘記了如何等待；我們的收入越來越高，道德水平卻越來越低。

We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication;we’ve become long on quantity, but short on quality.我們制造了更多的計算機來存儲更多的信息，制造了最多的副本，卻減少了交流；我們開始渴望數量，但忽視了質量。

These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce;of fancier houses, but more broken homes.這個時代有雙收入，但也有了更高的離婚率；有更華麗的房屋，卻有更多破碎的家庭。

These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.Where are we heading...?

這個時代有了快速旅游，免洗尿布，卻拋棄了道德、一夜情、超重的身體，以及可以從快樂中走向靜止和自殺的藥物。我們將走向何方……？

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.如果我們明天就死掉，我們為之工作的公司可能會在一天內很輕易地找人代替我們的位置。但是當我們離開家人后，他們的余生將會在失落中度過。

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.考慮一下吧，我們將自己的時間更多地投入到工作中，而放棄與家人在一起的時光，實在并非明智之舉。

So what is the morale of the story?

那么這則故事的主旨是什么呢?

Don’t work too hard...and you know what’s the full word of family?

不要工作得太辛苦，你知道家的全稱嗎？

FAMILY =(F)ATHER(A)ND(M)OTHER,(I)(L)OVE(Y)OU.家＝爸爸媽媽，我愛你們。

第三篇：英語哲理美文：徹悟自我

英語哲理美文：徹悟自我Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself

人生在世，不可能一直春風得意，事事順心。面對挫折能夠虛懷若谷，大智若愚，保持一種恬淡平和的心境，是徹悟人生的大度。一個人要想保持健康的心境，就需要升華精神，修煉道德，積蓄能量，風趣樂觀。正如馬克思所言：“一種美好的心情，比十副良藥更能解除生理上的疲憊和痛楚。”

In all one's lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself.When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself.It's likely that you think it wise for yourself to know your place and stay aloof from worldly wearing a mask of cowardice, behind which the flow of sap in your life will be retarded.To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a sober realist—aware of both one's strength and shortage.You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for ideals can never be fully realized.You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.To get a thorough understanding of oneself needs self-appreciation.Whether you liken yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, whether you think you are a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature that has its own reason of existence.If you earnestly admire yourself you'll have a real sense of self-appreciation, which will give you confidence.As soon as you gain full confidence in yourself you'll be enabled to fight and overcome any adversity.To get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires doing oneself a favor when it's needed.In time of anger, do yourself a favor by giving vent to it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames;in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one;in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep or taking some tonic.Show yourself loving concern about your health and daily life.Unless you know perfectly well when and how to do yourself a favor, you won't be confident and ready enough to resist the attack of illness.To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to get a full control of one's life.Then one will find one's life full of color and flavor.人生在世，和自己相處最多，打交道最多，但是人最不了解的也恰恰是自己。當你一帆風順時，往往高估自己；不得志時，又往往低估自己。你可能認為安分守己、與世無爭是明智之舉，而實際上往往被怯懦的面具窒息了自己鮮活的生命。

徹悟自己，就是正確認識自己，做一個冷靜的現實主義者，既知道自己的優勢，也知道自己的不足。我們可以憧憬人生，但不要期望過高。因為在現實中，理想的實現總是會打折扣的。你可以勇敢地迎接挑戰，但是必須清楚自己努力的方向。

要徹悟自己就要欣賞自己。無論你是一棵參天大樹，還是一棵無名小草，無論想要成為一座高山，還是一塊石頭，你都是一種天然，都有自己存在的理由。只要你認真地欣賞自己，你就會擁有一個真正的自我，你才會擁有信心。一旦擁有了信心你就能戰勝任何災難。

要徹悟自己，就要善待自己。在氣憤時善待自己，找個僻靜之處宣泄一下，不要被那些無名之火傷身；憂傷時，要善待自己，找個好友傾訴一番，讓低迷的情緒高漲起來；勞累時，你要善待自己，睡個好覺或者吃點滋補品，對自己的健康和生活關心備至。唯有知道如何善待自己，你才會信心百倍，從容不迫地準備應對疾病的侵襲。

徹悟了自己，你才能把握自己的生命，你的生活才會豐富多彩、有滋有味！

第四篇：英語哲理美文欣賞

英語哲理美文欣賞：舍與得（雙語）

There once was a master who went to india.in those times, we didn't have the communications or airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now.so the master went to india on foot.he had never been to india before;perhaps he came from persia.and when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit.in india they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive because they can't grow much due to the water situation.so he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit.and it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.從前有一位師父，他到印度去，那時候因為交通不發達，沒有飛機，不像現在一樣有很多交通工具，所以這位師父就步行去印度。他有可能是波斯人，以前沒去過印度。他到印度時，看見許許多多的水果。在印度，有時因為缺水的緣故，水果產量不多，許多小店雖然擺滿了水果，但多半都很貴。那位師父發現有個大籃子里面裝著一種紅色長條形的水果，這種水果的價格最便宜，一點都不貴.So he went up and asked, “how much per kilo?” and the shopkeeper said, “two rupees.” two rupees in india is nothing;it's like dirt.so he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it.but after he ate some of it: oh, my god!his eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became red.as he coughed and choked and gasped for breath, he jumped up and down, saying, “ah!ah!ah!” 他就走過去詢問：“這個一公斤要多少錢？”小販回答：“兩盧比。”兩盧比在印度根本不算什么，像塵土一樣不值錢，于是他就整整買了一公斤，然后開始吃。吃了幾口之后，這位師父就眼淚、口水齊流，眼睛發紅，嘴巴辣得像著火一樣，整個頭好像要燒起來，他又咳又嗆，滿臉通紅地喘不過氣來，在那里邊跳邊叫：“啊！啊！啊！”

But he still continued to eat the fruit!some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “you're crazy, man.those are chilies!you can't eat so many;they're not good for you!people use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste.you can't just eat them by the handful like that;they're not fruit!” so the stupid master said, “no, i can't stop!i paid money for them, and now i'll eat them.it's my money!” 不過他還是繼續吃！有人看到他這樣子后，就搖搖頭說：“老兄，你是腦袋壞掉啦？這是辣椒耶！不能吃那么多，這樣對你不好。辣椒是用來調味的，煮菜時每次只放一點點在食物里增加味道。這個不是水果，不能這樣整把拿起來吃啊！”那位笨師父說：“不行，我已經花錢買了，就要把它吃完，這可都是錢哪！”

And you think that master was stupid, right? similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that.we invest money, time or effort in a relationship, business or job.and even though it's been a long time, bitter experience tells us it won't work, and we know there's no more hope that things will change in the futurewe still continue just because we've invested money, time, effort and love into it.if so, we're kaput in the brain.just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn't stop because he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid.你們覺得這位師父很笨，是嗎？其實我們有時候也做很多類似的傻事。有時候我們在某些感 情或事業工作上，投入了金錢、時間和心力，經過長期的經營之后，我們從慘痛的經驗中知道行不通，直覺也很清楚未來不會有任何轉機，但我們還是舍不得放棄，因為已經投入了金錢、時間、心力和感情在里面。像這種情形，表示說我們頭腦壞掉，就像那個吃辣椒的人一樣，明明已經那么痛苦了，還是不肯停止，只因為不想白白浪費已經付出的錢。

So even if you've lost something, let it go and move on.that's better than continuing to lose.就算你會有所損失，還是要放下，然后繼續前進！這樣總比一直損失下去來得好。

英語哲理美文欣賞：Silence 沉默Silence is soundlessness;silence exists in different forms.無聲即沉默。沉默有各種各樣——

An empty head or a blank mind which leads to speechlessness--that is silence.腹中空泛，思想一片蒼白，故無言可發，這是沉默。

Enthusiasm fades like dying embers and thus leads to cynicism and indifference to life, which arouses neither happiness nor sadness, neither worries nor anger, and which costs people their interest in and desire for anything--that is silence.熱情已如柴薪盡燃，故而冷漠處世，無喜無悲，無憂無憤，對人世的一切都失去興趣和欲望，這也是沉默。

Despite all the experiences of love and hate, of disorientation and reorientation, of order-giving that was answered by hundreds and call-issuing that was not answered by a single soul, there is not a word uttered, but only a clam eye that watches on this world--that is also silence.有過愛，有過恨，有過迷茫，有過穎悟，有過一呼百應的吶喊，有過得不到回報的呼喚，然而卻收口如瓶，只是平靜地冷眼看世界，這是沉默。

Worries and sufferings, tastes of changes and vicissitudes of the world, footprints left in mountains and valleys and noises of rivers and oceans cherished in the heart are all but hidden unrevealed--that is still silence.飽經憂患，閱盡人生百態，胸有千山萬壑的屐痕，有江河湖海的濤聲，然而卻深思不語，這也是沉默。

Either an invaluable Italian violin or a reed whistle cut out casually would remain silent if they are not played, although the connotations of their silences differ greatly.For even though they are never touched by anybody, you can still imagine the vastly different sounds they can possibly produce.一把價值連城意大利小提琴，和一只被隨手削出的蘆笛，不去觸動它們，便都是沉默，但沉默的內涵卻并不一樣，即便永遠不在有人去觸動它們，你依然可以想象聽見它們可能發出的絕然不同的鳴響。

A flawless jade ornament, or a coarse, gross brick will always remain silent if it is left untouched, but who can draw an equal sign between them? 一塊瑩潔無暇的美玉，和一塊粗糙的土磚，放在那里也都是沉默。然而誰能把它們所代表的內容劃一個等號呢？

Indeed, for a living being there is no such thing as true silence, for silence itself is a revelation of the mind and the heart, an echo of the soul of a different form.其實，對活著的生命而言，真正的沉默是不存在的。沉默本身也是一種思想和心境的流露，是靈魂的另一種形式的回聲。

Some people use silence as a disguise of the emptiness of the head.有的人以沉默掩飾思想的空虛。

Some use it as a means to depict their disorientation and melancholy.有的人以沉默敘述迷茫和惆悵。

And some use it as a way of expressing their angers and sorrows.有的人以沉默表達內心的憤怒和憂傷。

Silence usually is ephemeral.It reminds one of the bronze bells dangling from a pagoda's eaves;on windless days they are a decoration upon the age-weathered beauty, but with wind they give out wonderful tinkling and jingling metallurgic sounds, as if echoing age-old stories of long, long ago...沉默常常是暫時的。就像古塔檐角下的銅鈴，無風時，它們只是一種古色古香的裝飾，一起風，它們便會發出奇妙的金屬音響，似乎是許多古老故事的悠遠的回聲??

Do you not think the same of silent people? 沉默的人們不也一樣?

They say that “silence is golden”, but of what nature is this “gold”? It can include integrity, honesty and kindness;it can stand for indifference to and detachment from fame and fortune;but it can also act as an excuse for hypocrisy, slyness and cowardice...the glittering of gold may not necessarily be the most brilliant lustre in the world.“沉默是金”，是怎樣的一種“金”呢? 這個“金”字中，可以包含正直、善良，可以代表淡泊、超脫，也可以是虛偽、圓滑、怯懦的一種托辭??金子的光澤，未必是世界上最動人的光澤。

Can it be that permanent silence is only represented by death? 是不是只有死亡才是永遠的沉默? Perhaps even death cannot represent true silence, for the carrier of the soul can turn into dust, so that the sincere and wise voices from the bottom of the heart will trigger long-lasting echoes in the seas of human hearts...也許，死亡也未必是真正的沉默，靈魂的載體可以化為塵土，那些真誠睿智的心聲，卻會長久地在人心的海洋中引起悠長的回聲??

人一生，短短數載，不夠時間計較，不夠時間事事明細，不必在思前想后中耗磨時間，懂得享樂，人生貴在糊涂。We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song.Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes.Me? I love to do that when I drive!I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm.Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.我們每個人，在不同時期，都曾經像一個搖滾歌星那樣，伴著我們最愛的那首歌又唱又跳.很多人在小時候，甚至是已長大成人，都曾在我們自己房間和家里這樣的隱秘空間里這樣做過。我呢？我喜歡在開車的時候這樣！打開收音機，找一首會唱的歌，很快我就會張開雙臂，隨著節奏起舞。大部分時候，我在上班的路上這么做。

Yes, that is true.I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light.I get weird looks from some people and others laugh.Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!是的，那是真的。我會穿上我漂亮的工作服，在堵車和遇到交通燈時，有人就會用奇怪的眼神看著我，或者笑我。對我個人而言，我喜歡沉浸在一首歌的節奏中，由此我愿和你們分享：為人糊涂貴在何處。

The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical.I know many people do not want to look foolish.So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!糊涂一詞在字典中的定義是：愚蠢的，傻，荒謬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他們在生活中始終一臉嚴肅，而這在本質上才是真正的愚笨。

No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect.I don't care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on? No one is perfect!So why pretend to be something you are not? 人無完人，我重申一次：沒有人是完美的。我不在乎一個人學識多深，身材多好，外表多美，思想多淺薄，生活多儉樸，多富有，等等??人無完人！那么，為什么要偽裝成我們實際上本不是的呢？

Life is so short? You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life: 人生何其短暫??你不會知道這美好的征程何時會結束，那么，為什么要浪費一分一秒，讓自己變得棱角分明？這里引用索薩的話，我覺得她一語中的，是人生的一大秘方。“Dance as though no one is watching you, Love as though you have never been hurt before, Sing as though no one can hear you, Live as though heaven is on earth.“ 跳舞吧，就像沒有人欣賞一樣，去愛吧，就像沒有受到傷害一樣，唱歌吧，就像沒有人傾聽一樣，生活吧，就像今天是最后一天一樣。

When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others.However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.當我們還是孩子，我們天不怕，地不怕，無憂無慮，所以我們可以不在乎自己再別人眼中的形象去做事情。然而，當我們長大，我們失去了那種天真爛漫。

So don't lose the child that still lives within you.The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow.Or watch something that makes you laugh.Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts.Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn't want to feel good? 所以，不要丟失你心中那個小孩。下次你感到沮喪時，去打開你最愛的那首歌吧，隨之歌唱起舞，就像沒有明天一樣。或者看點能讓你笑的東西。笑聲是除去任何煩惱良方，沒有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我，你會好受很多，誰又不想讓自己好受呢？

Time is a bank 時間是一家銀行

Everyone has a bank.Its name is TIME.Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.It carries over no balance.It allows no overdraft.每個人都有一個銀行，它的名字叫“時間”。每天早晨，它在你的帳戶里存入86,400秒鐘。不管你是否很好地利用了這筆時間，每天晚上它會照例把這筆時間作為遺失注銷。它沒有設置余額，也不允許透支。

Each day it opens a new account for you.Each night it burns the records of the day.If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.每天它會為你開一個新帳戶，每晚它會把該天的記錄全部刪除。如果你沒有好好地利用當天的這筆時間，那么損失由你自己承擔。

There is no going back.There is no drawing against the “tomorrow”.You must live in the present on today's deposits.Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!The clock is running.Make the most of today: “Seize the day!” 沒有回頭路，也不能向“明天”借時間。你必須以今天的時間“存款”為基礎生活在現在。有效地投資這筆時間以便從中獲取有關健康，快樂及成功最大的收益。時鐘正在旋轉。好好地利用今天：“抓住每一天！” So, you see, time is important, make the most of it.After all, life is either a daring adventure or nothing!

你看，時間挺重要的吧，一定要好好利用它。畢竟，生活要么是大膽的嘗試，要么就什么都 沒有。

Treasure every moment that you have!And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to have your time.And remember time waits for none.珍惜你所擁有的每一分鐘！你要更加珍惜它，因為你與某個特殊的朋友一起在分享它，這位朋友特殊到擁有你的時間。記住：時間不等人。

第五篇：英語哲理美文：語言的力量

英語哲理美文：語言的力量The Power of Words

The Power of Words 語言的力量

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit.When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead.The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might.The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead.Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and gave up.He fell down and died.一群青蛙在穿越樹林，其中兩只掉進了一個深坑。當其他的青蛙看到那個坑那么深，他們告訴那兩只青蛙他們和死了一樣，沒希望逃出來了。兩只青蛙沒聽他們的話，使盡全身力氣想跳出來。其他的青蛙一直對他們說停下來吧，不可能跳出來了。最后，其中一只青蛙聽取了其他青蛙的說法，放棄了。他掉落了下去，死了。

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die.He jumped even harder and finally made it out.When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was a little deaf.另外一只青蛙繼續全力地跳著。再一次的，上面的青蛙群對他喊，別那么痛苦了，放棄吧。而他卻跳得更有勁了，最后竟然跳了出來。他出來以后，其他青蛙問，“你沒聽見我們說什么嘛？”這只青蛙解釋說，他是聾的。

He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.他以為他們從始至終一直在鼓勵他！

This story teaches us two lessons:

這個故事給了我們兩個啟迪：

1.There is power of life and death in the tongue.An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.1，你的話有決定生死的力量。一句鼓勵的話可以讓落魄的人重新振作，讓他們重新面對生活。

2.A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.2，而一句消極的話足以殺掉一個消沉的人。

Be careful of what you say.Speak life to those who cross your path.The power of words is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way.溫馨提示：注意你所說的話。對你身邊的人說鼓勵的話。語言的力量...有時難以想象一句鼓勵的話會有如此深遠的影響。

Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times.Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.任何人都能說出奪去他人戰勝困境的勇氣和意志的話，而只有愿意花時間去鼓勵別人的人才是最特別的。
