经典的励志英语文章：让我们微笑吧Let Us Smile

　　The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worthwhile,

　　That costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

　　The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men,

　　Will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the Sun again.

　　It'sfull of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent;

　　It’s worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.

　　There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile;

　　It always has the same good look; it’s never out of style;

　　It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue;

　　The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you.

　　It pays the highest interest — for it is merely lent;

　　It’s worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.

　　A smile comes very easy — you can wrinkle up with cheer,

　　A hundred times before you can squeeze out a salty tear;

　　It ripples out, moreover, to the heartstrings that will tug,

　　And always leaves an echo that is very like a hug.

　　So, smile away! Folks understand what by a smile is meant;

　　It’s worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.

　　[参考译文]

　　那最能赋予 生命 价值、代价最廉而回报最多的东西，

　　不过一个令人心畅的微笑而已。

　　由衷地热爱同胞的微笑，

　　会驱走心头阴郁的乌云，心底收获一轮夕阳。

　　它充满价值和美好，混合着坚毅的仁爱之心;

　　它价值连城却不花一文。

　　当我们看到喜悦的微笑，忧伤就会一扫而光;

　　它始终面容姣好，永不落伍;

　　失败令我们沮丧之时，它鼓励我们再次尝试;

　　鼓励的笑靥于你我大有裨益。

　　它支付的利息高昂无比──只因它是种借贷形式;

　　它价值连城却不花一文。

　　来一个微笑很容易──嘴角欢快翘起来，

　　你能百次微笑，可难得挤出一滴泪;

　　它的涟漪深深波及心弦，

　　总会留下反响，宛若拥抱。

　　继续微笑吧!谁都懂得它意味着什么;

　　它价值连城却不花一文。

经典的励志英语文章：真正的自我The Real Self

　　The only problem unconsciously assumed by all Chinese philosophers to be of any importance is: How shall we enjoy life, and who can best enjoy life? No perfectionism, no straining after the unattainable, no postulating of he unknowable; but taking poor, modal human nature as it is, how shall we organize our life so that we can woke peacefully, endure nobly and live happily?

　　Who are we? That is first question. It is a question almost impossible to answer. But we all agree with the busy self occupied in our daily activities is not quite the real self. We are quite sure we have lost something in the mere pursuit of living. When we watch a person running about looking for something in a field, the wise man can set a puzzle for all the spectator to solve: what has that person lost? Some one thinks is a watch; another thinks it is a diamond brooch; and others will essay other guesses. After all the guesses have failed, the wise man who really doesn't know what the person is seeking after, tells the company:" I'll tell you. He has lost some breath." And no one can deny that he is right. So we often forget our true self in the pursuit of living, like a bird forgetting its own danger in pursuit of a mantis which again forgets its own danger in pursuit of another.

　　[参考译文]

　　一切中国的 哲学 家在不知不觉中认为唯一重要的问题是：我们要怎样享受人生?谁最会享受人生?我们不追求十全十美的理想，我们不寻找那些得不到的东西，我们不要求知道那些不得而知的东西;我们只认识不完美的、会死的人类的本性，那么我们要怎样调整我们的人生，使我们可以和平地工作着，旷达地忍耐着，幸福地生活着呢?

　　我们是谁呢?这是第一个问题。这个问题几乎是无法答复的。可是我们都承认在我们曰常活动中那么忙碌的自我，并不完全是真正的自我;我们相信我们在生活的追求中已经失掉了一些东西。当我们看见一个人在一片田野里跑来跑去在寻找东西时，智者可以弄出一个难题给一切旁观者去解答：那个人失掉了什么东西呢?有的猜一只表;有的猜一支钻石胸针;其他的人则作其他的猜测。智者委实也不知道那个人在寻找什么东西;可是当大家都猜不中的时候，他会对大家说：“我告诉你们吧。他失掉了一些气息了。” 没有人会否认他的话是对的。所以我们在生活的追求中常常忘掉了真正的自我，像 庄子 在一个美妙的譬喻里所讲的那只鸟那样，为了要捕捉一只螳螂而忘掉自身的危险，而那只螳螂又为了要捕捉一只蝉而忘掉自身的危险。

经典的励志英语文章：享受今天的快乐

　　No living creature can laugh except man. Trees may bleed when they are wounded, and beasts in the field will cry in pain and hunger, yet only I have the gift of laughter and it is mine to use whenever I choose. Henceforth I will cultivate the habit of laughter. I will smile and my digestion will improve; I will chuckle and my burdens will be lightened; I will laugh and my life will be lengthened for this is the great secret of long life and now it is mine.

　　I will paint this day with laughter; I will frame this night in song. Never will I labor to be happy; rather will I remain too busy to be sad. I will enjoy today's happiness today. It is not grain to be stored in a box. It is not wine to be saved in a jar. It cannot be saved for the morrow. It must be sown and reaped on the same day and this I will do, henceforth.

　　And with my laughter all things will be reduced to their proper size. I will laugh at my failures and they will vanish in clouds of new dreams; I will laugh at my successes and they will shrink to their true value. I will laugh at evil and it will die untasted; I will laugh at goodness and it will thrive and abound. Each day will be triumphant only when my smiles bring forth smiles from others and this l do in selfishness, for those on whom l flown are those who purchase not my goods.

　　[参考译文]

　　只有人类才会笑。树木受伤时也会流“血”，禽兽也会因痛苦和饥饿而哭嚎哀鸣，然而，只有我才具备笑的天赋，可以随时开怀大笑。从今往后，我要培养笑的习惯。 笑有助于消化，笑能减轻压力，笑，是长寿的秘方。现在我终于掌握了它。

　　我要用笑声点缀今天，我要用歌声照亮黑夜。我不再苦苦寻觅快乐，我要在繁忙的工作中忘记悲伤。我要享受今天的快乐，它不像粮食可以贮藏，更不似美酒越陈越香。

　　笑声中，一切都显露本色。我笑自己的失败，它们将化为梦的云彩;我笑自己的 成功 ，它们回复本来面目;我笑邪恶，它们远我而去;我笑善良，它们发扬光大。我要用我的笑容感染别人，虽然我的目的自私，但这确是成功之道，因为皱起的眉头会让顾客弃我而去。我不是为将来而活。今天播种今天收获。
