勵(lì)志英語美文精華篇二：英語勵(lì)志美文-志存高遠(yuǎn)
志存高遠(yuǎn)便是成功之道The Road to Success-英語勵(lì)志美文(雙語中英)
It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom，and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices，and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning，the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.
年輕人創(chuàng)業(yè)之初，應(yīng)該從最底層干起，這是件好事。匹茲保有很多商業(yè)巨頭，在他們創(chuàng)業(yè)之初，都肩負(fù)過“重任”：他們以掃帚相伴，以打掃辦公室的方式度過了他們商業(yè)生涯中最初的時(shí)光。我注意到我們現(xiàn)在辦公室里都有工友，于是年輕人就不幸錯(cuò)過了商業(yè)教育中這個(gè)有益的環(huán)節(jié)。如果碰巧哪天上午專職掃地的工友沒有來，某個(gè)具有未來合伙人氣質(zhì)的年輕人會(huì)毫不猶豫地試著拿起掃帚。在必要時(shí)新來的員工掃掃地也無妨，不會(huì)因?yàn)槎惺裁磽p失。我自己就曾經(jīng)掃過地。
Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is “aim high”. I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, “My place is at the top.” Be king in your dreams. 假如你已經(jīng)被錄用，并且有了一個(gè)良好的開端，我對(duì)你的建議是：要志存高遠(yuǎn)。一個(gè)年輕人，如果不把自己想象成一家大公司未來的老板或者是合伙人，那我會(huì)對(duì)他不屑一顧。不論職位有多高，你的內(nèi)心都不要滿足于做一個(gè)總管，領(lǐng)班或者總經(jīng)理。要對(duì)自己說：我要邁向頂尖！要做就做你夢(mèng)想中的國王！
And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it. 成功的首要條件和最大秘訣就是：把你的精力，思想和資本全都集中在你正從事的事業(yè)上。一旦開始從事某種職業(yè)，就要下定決心在那一領(lǐng)域闖出一片天地來；做這一行的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人物，采納每一點(diǎn)改進(jìn)之心，采用最優(yōu)良的設(shè)備，對(duì)專業(yè)知識(shí)熟稔于心。
The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." is all wrong. I tell you to "put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket." Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.
一些公司的失敗就在于他們分散了資金，因?yàn)檫@就意味著分散了他們的精力。他們向這方面投資，又向那方面投資；在這里投資，在那里投資，到處都投資�！安灰阉械碾u蛋放在一個(gè)籃子里”的說法大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)。我要對(duì)你說：“把所有的雞蛋都放在一個(gè)籃子里，然后小心地看好那個(gè)籃子�！笨纯茨阒車銜�(huì)注意到：這么做的人其實(shí)很少失敗�？垂芎蛿y帶一個(gè)籃子并不太難。人們總是試圖提很多籃子，所以才打破這個(gè)國家的大部分雞蛋。提三個(gè)籃子的人，必須把一個(gè)頂在頭上，而這個(gè)籃子很可能倒下來，把他自己絆倒。美國商人的一個(gè)缺點(diǎn)就是不夠?qū)Ｗⅰ?/p>
To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm's interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says,"no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves."
把我的話歸納一下：要志存高遠(yuǎn)；不要出入酒吧；要滴酒不沾，或要喝也只在用餐時(shí)喝少許；不要做投機(jī)買賣；不要寅吃卯糧；要把公司的利益當(dāng)作自己的利益；取消訂貨的目的永遠(yuǎn)是為了挽救貨主；要專注；要把所有的雞蛋放在一個(gè)籃子里，然后小心地看好它；要量入為出；最后，要有耐心，正如愛默生所言，“誰都無法阻止你最終成功，除非你自己承認(rèn)自己失敗�！�

高考英語勵(lì)志美文三篇I will persist until I succeed
I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.
I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each f

Just for today 就為今天
Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my "luck" as it comes.
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out: If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don?t want to do—just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Just for today I will have a program, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.
Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
就為了今天，我將盡力只度過今天而不立刻去解決終身的問題。對(duì)一件令我沮喪而又必須堅(jiān)持一輩子的事，我只能堅(jiān)持十二個(gè)小時(shí)。
就為了今天，我會(huì)很快樂。亞伯拉罕-林肯說過，“大多數(shù)人都是決定想怎么高興就怎么高興�！边@已經(jīng)被認(rèn)為是真理。
就為了今天，我會(huì)做自我調(diào)整適應(yīng)事物本來的面目，而不是想方設(shè)法使每一件事滿足自己的欲望。當(dāng)機(jī)會(huì)來臨的時(shí)候我會(huì)抓住它。
就為了今天，我會(huì)盡力心強(qiáng)志堅(jiān)。我會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)，學(xué)一些有用的東西。我不會(huì)做一個(gè)精神上的流浪漢。我會(huì)讀一些需要努力、思考和注意力集中的東西。
就為了今天，我會(huì)用三種方法來磨煉我的靈魂。我會(huì)做對(duì)某人有利的事但不能被發(fā)現(xiàn)，若有人發(fā)現(xiàn)了就不算數(shù)。我將會(huì)做至少兩件我不愿做的事情——只為了磨練。我不會(huì)讓任何人感到我的感情受到了傷害：它們可能受到了傷害，但今天我不想表現(xiàn)出來。
就為了今天，我會(huì)過得很愜意�？雌饋砦疫_(dá)到了最佳狀態(tài)，穿著得體、講話謙虛、行為禮貌、一點(diǎn)不吹毛求疵，盡量改進(jìn)和調(diào)節(jié)自己而不是別人。
就為了今天，我會(huì)制定一個(gè)計(jì)劃，我也許不會(huì)嚴(yán)格地遵守它，但我一定要有計(jì)劃。我會(huì)避免兩種錯(cuò)誤：倉促行事和優(yōu)柔寡斷。
就為了今天，我將會(huì)獨(dú)自靜靜地呆上半小時(shí)放松。在這半小時(shí)里，某個(gè)時(shí)刻，我會(huì)日后對(duì)我的生活有個(gè)更好的看法。
就為了今天，我將不再害怕。尤其我不會(huì)再害怕享受美麗的事物，并且相信我給予世界的，世界也會(huì)給予我。
Youth 青春
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what?s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you?ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there?s hope you may die young at 80.
譯文：
青春
青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙熱的戀情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進(jìn)取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，并非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮
暮年。
歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。
無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺(tái)天線，只要你從天上人間
接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號(hào)，你就青春永駐，風(fēng)華常存。
一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實(shí)已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀信號(hào)，
你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時(shí)仍覺年輕。
