英文励志文章(通用6篇)
How strong are you?
你有多强大?
That is a tough question to answer, whether you are a man or a woman。
不管你是男人还是女人,这都是个很难回答的问题。
But, really, I want to ask… how do you define your strength?
但是,说实话,我想明白,你是怎样定义力量的呢?
How do you know your limits? How do you know just how much you’ve got?
你是如何了解自我的局限性?你怎样明白你能做到什么程度?
When push es to shove, we often discover that we are much stronger than we think。
当压力来临时,我们会发现我们比想象中要更强大。
What is Strength?
什么是力量?
Strength is not always about pure physical strength。 Rather, it is about willpower。 Discipline。 Drive。 It is about the capacity to get things done。
力量并不仅仅仅指你的肌肉力量,它更多的指的是意志力、训练、动力。是一种能够做好事情的潜力。
I know some people who are intellectually strong, but they get very little done in their jobs。 And I know others who find work extremely challenging, but are able to move mountains by their sheer drive and hard work。
我明白有一些人虽然很聪明,但是他们在工作中能够做好的事情却很少。而另外一些人虽然明白工作很具有挑战性,但他们仍能透过强大的动力和艰苦的工作来移动大山。
They possess inner strength。
他们具有强大的内心力量。
More interesting, is that these productive hard-workers often don’t even notice the load。 Bystanders are not only amazed, but often ask, “How do you do it?”
更搞笑的是,这些十分努力工作的人并没有意识到工作量的巨大。旁观者不仅仅感到很吃惊,而且还经常问,“你是怎样做到的?”
The answer usually es back, “I just work harder than the others。”
经常得到这样的回答,“我只是比别人更努力一些罢了。”
So, why are some people able to do more? What gives them added drive? What gives them extra strength?
所以,为什么有些人就能做到更多?他们的动力是哪里来的呢?是谁给予他们剩余的力量?
Could it be, they have simply given themselves permission to do more?
还是,仅仅是他们自我给自我力量来做到更多?
Self-Imposed Limits
自我强加的局限性
What I have observed is that most people impose their own limits。 They limit their output based on self-framed constraints of their capabilities and strengths。 Sometimes these boundaries are based on past experiences。 Sometimes they are based on perceived capacities。 Sometimes these limits are based on nothing。
据我所观察,很多人都是自我强加给自我的局限性。他们有时候根据潜力和力量自我设定了他们的局限,有时候根据过去的经历设定一些边界,还有的根据想象中的潜力设定,还有些则毫无任何根据就限定了自我的力量。
I can’t do that。 (Why?)
我做不到。(为什么呢?)
That is too much for me。 (How do you know?)
对我来说太难了。(你怎样明白太难?)
I can’t put in that much effort。 (What would happen if you did?)
我做不到那么努力。(如果你做了会怎样样?)
I am not smart enough to solve that。 (Can you be sure if you haven’t tried?)
我不够聪明,解决不了这件事。(你不尝试怎样能如此确定?)
So, how do we break through these limits? How do we get stronger?
所以,怎样才能打破这些局限?怎样才能更强大?
Pushing It…
给自我点压力
Many people are going through the motions, but are nowhere near their limits。
很多人都做出了实际行动,但是从来就没有到达他们的极限。
If you want to be stronger, you have to push your boundaries。
如果你想变得更加强大,你就要打破你的局限。
Pushing it is what it takes to increase your limits。 In the gym, bodybuilders discovered this long ago。 But, the same principle is true when it es to inner strength。 Discipline and drive。
给自我施加压力就能提高你的极限。在体育馆,健身者很早之前就体会到了这一点。所以,同样的原则运用到内心力量方面也是正确的,训练自我,给自我一些动力。
Want to test your limits? Push yourself。 Test your self-perceived constraints to see how accurate they are。 Make sure your goals are slightly beyond what you think can be achieved。
你想挑战你的极限吗?那就给自我点压力。去测试下自我以前的极限到底有多准确。要确定一个能稍微超过力所能及的目标。
You Are Stronger Than You Think
你比自我想象的要强大
Most people underestimate their strength。
很多人低估了自我的潜力。
As you go through your day, challenge your capacity。 Test your limits。
当你过每一天的时候,都要挑战一下你的潜力,测试下自我的极限。
Push yourself, to find your true boundaries and define your strength。
给自我施加点压力,找到你真正的极限,然后定义你的潜力。
When you discover how much you’ve really got, you may surprise even yourself。
当你发现你真正能获取的,你会发现自我都感到不可思议。
What are your self-imposed limits? Which do you need to push? When have you found that you were much stronger than you thought?
Over the past 30 years since the beginning of reforms and opening up, remarkable achievements have been made in the field of opera and musical production in China. However, there do remain some issues that can only be handled by furthering reform policies.
First of all, great productions should always be targeted at the market of a country like China with its particular situation and conditions, and should be conducted very, very cautiously so as to create small- and medium-sized operas and musicals with less investment but higher artistic quality while in the meantime keeping on searching for various market-oriented producing modes.
Secondly, in the present age of multiple opera concepts and styles, the mainstream productions should be as such: the script writing with a complex and vivid plot; the music composition with focus on tonality and with cantabile melody and voice as the main means of expression which can be actively assisted by the dramatic expression of the orchestra, making the main part of the singing easily acceptable to the audience;and the majority of singers with their eyes on the market and the audience, taking the theatric nature and appeal of an opera as the major starting point from where the artists should be able to draw the audience to the theatre by creating exquisite plays that can be enjoyed by every single spectator.
Thirdly, the popularity, entertaining nature and urban culture of a musical should be studied with great attention, while investigation should also be undertaken to find out the real interest of ordinary people and the regularities of musical production and marketing. We should also learn from the mature experience of Western musical productions and make the best use of our traditional culture as well, trying our best to integrate all relevant elements such as scripts, music and other artistic means so as to create something that would ″look beautiful, sound great and be enjoyed by all″.
Fourthly, composers and playwrights should have the sense of high morality and quality and should be free from any unhealthy ways of creation such as rashness, superficiality, extravagance and exaggeration, and should fight against such mean behaviours as acting blindly or eagerly for quick success, ignoring the reality, fabricating totally groundlessly, keeping no promises or failing to perform one's duty.
Fifthly, more opera and musical producers, managers and business professionals should be trained, as they are the must when Chinese operas and musicals are going to be marketized or to be enjoyed by the audience. Luckily, such metropolises as Shanghai and Beijing have already seen talents of this kind who have had enough experience and lessons as well from their past careers in organising commercial performances of operas and musicals, and who will surely encourage more successors to follow suit.
I believe that both operas and musicals should have great market and great audience in China. As long as playwrights and composers observe the artistic and market rules, work hard to improve their own ability and creativity, and search for more ways of development in the face of the opportunities and challenges, it is then for sure that opera and musical production in China will definitely be anticipating a brighter future in this new century!
The Future Belongs to the Children:Written on the
Occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the Establishment
of the Children and Young Women's Choir of China
National Symphony Orchestra
December 21st, 2008. It was the coldest day in Beijing since the winter came. However, the Forbidden City Concert Hall still saw so many people coming to the concert in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the world famous Children and Young Women's Choir of the China National Symphony Orchestra.
A big audience filled the concert hall. They came to share the happiness of the children and the entire concert show was so impressive that, to a spectator like me who has enjoyed their shows for several times, each image of their wonderful performance would remain in my mind, so unforgettable and so striking.
The choir was founded in 1983 by Prof. Yang Hongnian, music educator at the Central Conservatory of Music. He and his family have devoted so much to the development of the choir. The past 25 years saw its growth from the birth to today's fruitful achievements, with both joys and tears, but always persistent in pursuing their dream.
Shortly before the concert started, Li Lanqing, former Chinese Vice-Premier, sent his message for the choir: ″Developing the choral art to raise the general quality of the youth and enrich the cultural life of the society.″ This is not only an encouragement, but also a real portrait of the choir itself. Yang's wife, Prof. Tang Chongqing, the choir's artistic director, also a musician, unveiled some untold stories about the choir to the audience at the concert hall. Over the past 25 years, the choir has brought music and love to almost every corner of the world. As early as in 1987, the choir participated in the 3rd International Children's Choir Festival in Washington D.C. where they received the Diploma of Highest Appreciation with signature of the former US President Ronald Reagan. This marks the beginning of their world tours of singing as little ambassadors of peace, friendship and love. The choir has given nearly 600 shows for the past twenty years in such countries as Hungary, Austria, Japan, Singapore, Monaco, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Germany, Korea and Canada, as well as the region of Taiwan where they were praised as ″the common pride of the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait″. The choir has so far won eight prizes at international contests, including four great prizes at the 44th International Polyphonic Contest ″Guido d'Arezzo″ in Italy in 1996, the only Special Prize at the Moscow Young Talents Music Festival in honouring the 200th Birthday of Alexander Pushkin and the First Prize ″Golden Tuning Fork″ at the First International Chorus TV Contest in Russia in 1999. Moreover, they visited Monaco and Moscow together with the Chinese delegation for bidding for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, and in particular, 66 members of the choir sang the Olympic Hymn a cappella at the Opening Ceremony of the 29th Summer Olympiad in Beijing on August 8, 2008, winning great attention from all over the world.
Apart from international chorus festival and concert shows, the choir has also attended numerous charity performances for the Project Hope, the SOS Orphans' Village and foreign elderly houses as well as reform centres. These regularly held charity concerts fulfilled the very objective of the choir for ″love and contribution″. The young singers of the group enjoy not only the joy of the music, but also the charms of the music. One member said that ″the choir helps me feel the happiness and sentiment that can never be described in words, and makes me touched in the cleanest and also the most sensitive heart, and this state of being touched helps me understand that I can have something that I believe in, something from the bottom of my heart rather than a particular person or deity or any doctrine or argument.″ The choir is thus filled with love and care just as the teachers love the children and vice versus.
1.先找5篇跟自己论文最相关的外文文章,花一个月的时间认认真真的看,反复看,要求全部读懂,不懂的地方可以和同学和老师交流一下。一个月以后你已经上路了。
2.如何读标题:不要忽视一篇论文的标题,看完标题以后想想要是让你写你怎么用一句话来表达这个标题,根据标题推测一下作者论文可能是什么内容。有时候一句比较长的标题让你写,你可能还不会表达。下次你写的时候就可以借鉴了
3.如何读摘要:快速浏览一遍,这里主要介绍这篇文章做了些什么。也许初看起来不好理解,看不懂,这时候不要气馁,不管它往下看,等你看完这篇文章的时候也许你都明白了。因为摘要写的很简洁,省略了很多前提和条件,在你第一眼看到摘要而不明白作者意图的时候看不懂是正常的。
4.如何读引言(前言):当你了解了你的研究领域的一些情况,看引言应该是一件很容易的事情了,都是介绍性的东西,写的应该都差不多,所以看文献多了以后看这部分的内容就很快了,一扫而过。有些老外写得很经典得句子要记下了,下次你写就可以用了。
5.如何读材料及试验:当你文献看多了以后,这部分内容也很简单了,无非就是介绍试验方法,自己怎么做试验的。很快就能把它看完了吧
6.如何看试验结果:看结果这部分一定要结合结果中的图和表看,这样看的快。主要看懂试验的结果,体会作者的表达方法(例如作者用不同的句子结构描述一些数字的结果)。有时看完以后再想想:就这么一点结果,别人居然可以大篇幅的写这么多,要是我可能半页就说完了?
7.如何看分析与讨论:这是一篇文章的重点,也是最花时间的。我一般把前面部分看完以后不急于看分析讨论。我会想要是我做出来这些结果我会怎么来写这部分分析与讨论呢?然后慢慢看作者的分析与讨论,仔细体会作者观点,为我所用。当然有时候别人的观点比较新,分析比较深刻,偶尔看不懂也是情理之中。当你看的多了,你肯定会看的越来越懂,自己的idea越来越多
8.如何看结论:这个时候看结论就一目了然了,作后再反过去看看摘要,其实差不多
9.把下载的论文打印出来,根据与自己课题的相关性分三类,一类要精读,二类要泛读,三类要选择性的读。分别装订在一起
10.看完的文献千万不要丢在一边不管,3-4个月一定要温习一遍,可以根据需要,对比自己的试验结果来看
11.学会记笔记,重要的结论,经典的句子,精巧的试验方案一定要记下来,供参考和学习
12.有些试验方法相同,结论不同的文献,可以批判性的阅读。我想要是你自己做试验多的话,你应该有这个能力判断谁的更对一点。出现试验方法相同,结论不同的原因有下:试验方法描述不详细,可能方法有差别;试验条件不一样;某些作者夸大结果,瞎编数据
如何写总结(How to write a summary)
1、The author tells us the importance of self-learning for children. Not only should the teacher help the students to correct their mistakes, but also they should depend themselves to correct their own mistakes.
2、This passage discusses the importance of self-learning for children. Students should have the chance to correct their own mistakes, learn-by-doing and learn from each other, not just the teacher.

in this month, i read some documents whose topics were labor relations, i found that a lot of were very similar, and some of them were so difficult that i could not understand them. at present, the labor relations in our country is not very harmonious, especially when the contract law had changed.
i think the main problems the about labor relations are as follows: firstly, it is that the quality and legal awareness of the bosses and staffs were not very high, because of these a lot of disputes had happened. secondly, the laws in our country were not overall, as a result, the numbers of the contradictions were increased.
thirdly, the government did not respect for the law enforcement, in some provinces, the government did not given the enterprises who had did some wrong things in order to their rapid economic development.
i will spend a lot of time on them next month.
in this month, i got up at 6:40am and read english about an hour every morning. besides this, i spent more than an hour on listening to the new concept english .my english is very poor, i hope that i can improve my oral and listening english according to these.
有一个人捡到一只小鸟,就将这只小鸟带回家里,给他的孩子玩耍,孩子将小鸟与小鸡一块饲养。慢慢地,小鸟长大了,人们才发现,这只小鸟原来是一只鹰。虽然这只鹰和鸡群相处得很好,但总有人家里丢鸡,人们就怀疑是这只鹰吃了鸡,强烈要求主人将这只鹰处死。这家主人舍不得,但迫于大家的压力,他决定放生这只鹰。但是,不管主人将它放到什么地方,它总能回到村里来。有一个人说他有办法,将鹰带到了一个悬崖边上。他将鹰向深渊里扔去,那只鹰一开始,就像是一块石头掉下悬崖,直直地向下坠落,眼看就要到崖底了,鹰突然展开了翅膀,竟然奇迹般地飞了起来,而且越飞越高,越飞越远,再也没有回来。
鹰本来是有翅膀的。能飞很高很远,但是,在一群鸡的世界里,它已经被同化了。没有经过锻炼,又贪恋温暖舒适的鸡窝,渐渐地,也就失去了翱翔蓝天的勇气和信心。要是没有人将它扔下悬崖,它永远不可能飞上蓝天,寻找属于自己的世界。
其实很多时候,我们都不敢面对这样的悬崖,做事没有敢于接受挑战的勇气,畏首畏尾,所以最后都是以失败告终。
美国有一个作曲家乔治·格什温。他从来没有写过交响曲,而当时美国最著名的斯坎德爵士乐团的著名指挥家,却对他十分赏识,邀请他为交响乐团写一部交响曲。但是,固执的格什温声称自己对交响乐一窍不通,不肯从命。这位指挥家竟然在报纸上刊登了一则广告,说20天后,音乐厅将上演格什温的交响乐《蓝色狂想曲》。格什温看到广告,大惊失色,质问指挥家为何令他出丑,指挥家微笑着说,反正,全城人都知道了,你看着办吧。格什温没办法,只好将自己关在屋子里,硬是用两周的时间,完成了这部作品。谁知首场演出竟大获成功,格什温的名气也迅速传遍美国。
有些时候,我们确实需要紧逼的力量,使自己获得重生,让生命之树开出更加绚烂的花。这样我们还是感激当初逼自己一下的那位恩人,可能没有他的逼格,就不能造就今天成功的自己!
人总是对现有的东西不忍放弃,对舒适平稳的生活恋恋不舍。但是,一个人要想让自己的人生有所突破,就必须明白,在关键的时刻,应该把自己带到人生的悬崖边上,在看似深渊的边缘,才有可能获得另一片蓝天!

生活再不如人意,都要学会自我温暖和慰藉,给自己多一点欣赏和鼓励,结局就会是美好!
文章大全最新版励志文章:请你摆脱对他人的依赖
文:苏听风
Y一度曾是同学们曾经非常羡慕的对象,他的父母十分能干,在他是少年时就开始做起了不错的生意,Y可以说是在一种家境优越的环境下长大。
成年之后,Y让欣赏的一点就是他并没有养成一副养尊处优的习惯,他跟许多的我们一样,去到大城市,谋求自己的工作。他确实有十分努力的找工作,而每一项工作,都是以月为单位的工龄。当然,他从不愁下个月的房租,下一顿饭钱,所以他总是可以潇洒的换着各类新工作。
当他“看透”了一切工作的无趣之后,他去创业了。在他创业的同时,他的父母在老家已经帮他买好了房子和车子。创业一如工作一样是无趣的,起起落落之中,Y总是说,要靠个人的奋斗去实现自己的理想。末了,也总会补一句,如果都做不成,那还是可以回家做家里的生意的。在他反反复复抱着这样想法的近4年时间里,他家的生意已经变得萧条。
旁观者大概一下子就能看清事实情况:Y无论做什么,他都时时刻刻地看着自己的后路。或许说,他时时刻刻的依赖感已深入骨髓。他不能坚持的完成一项工作,他不能全力以赴的去开创一份事业。不是因为他能力不够,而是因为他从来没想过拼尽全力去实现自己想要的生活。
或许在向前人生的道路上,有这么一条后退是一大幸事。它是一个港湾、一个怀抱,随时让你觉得安全放心。然而,它也像是一个蛀虫一样,在不知不觉中一点一点地侵蚀你的生命力。
我曾深有体会。
在我还是很年轻刚出来工作的时候,我第一个工作的地方是我堂哥介绍的,是一个做鞋的外贸工厂。他当时已经是一个部门主管了。所以,我几乎是能过免面试的机会就直接上班了,尽管在鞋厂刚开始的基层工作十分劳累,但确实没有什么压力。身边的同事都对我照顾有加,复杂的事情一般也不会有人为难我,在这种被关照的环境中,我度过了快一年的时光。
堂哥因为自己职业的发展,他跳槽到另一家企业上班。以我的能力,并没有资格去哪里上班。在他走后,我的世界空然就黑暗了,曾经友善的同事变得面目可憎,部分复杂的事都成了我的工作。我在充满“恶意”的世界里煎熬了二周,鼓起勇气打算再次投奔堂哥。我大声地跟他哭诉我的遭遇,细数着我被“欺负”的经历。在我说完这些后,堂哥很平静地跟我说,这些事他都知道。他说,部门的哪些人,并没有因为他的离开而故意来针对一个不足轻重的小姑娘。正常的工作环境本来就如此,有矛盾、有纷争、有委屈。曾经我没有体验到,是因为他帮我解决了很多麻烦,以至于我在这一年中并没有太多长进,反而对这种并不“正常”的工作环境形成了依赖。
我在哭诉中回忆了曾经的工作经历,堂哥说的没错。我曾经多次在工作中遇到问题,就开始找他,或许让他解决、或者让他出主意。自始至终,我从来没有独立、自主地解决过问题,面对过问题。我的依赖在潜移默化中产生,我却毫无察觉。“你要开始学习面对你工作中的麻烦,学习和别人友好相处,摆脱对别人的依赖。职业生涯和人生经历是十分漫长的,你不能一直想要别人给你安全感。”
堂哥的话如当头棒喝,让我更加的伤心的哭了起来。那会的哭,已不再是因为遇到工作的麻烦而哭,而是害怕这无知的未来而难过。意味着我的工作的生活状态,都要重新开始了。我知道,如果我再次向堂哥求助的话,他一定会心软出手帮我的,他要么去解决我的问题,要么让我再次跟着他工作。那时,突然有一个声音跟说,不可以这样做。我要摆脱这种依赖,即便以后或许要哭更多次。
接下来,我依然觉得我的办公室时充满着“恶意”,我时常有想走人或是求助于堂的冲动,但在强烈的自尊心的压制下,到底没有这么做。我开始接爱别人的“为难”,虚心请教我曾经不想学习的工作方法,加班加点完成别人不愿意做的麻烦事。我也会再次的伤心痛哭,但无助感一次次减弱,我越来越明白,任何事,唯有自己付出耐心和努力去面对,最终都会成功。
如今,再次回忆这段并不美好的往事,回想起堂哥跟我说的话,就十分感谢他对我的良苦用心。他对我说的“摆脱对他人的依赖”,一直的印在我的脑海里,在我成长的岁月中,我经历着爱情、工作、生活的种种变动,但无论何时何地,总是要遵循着一个原则,就是不依附于他人而生活。
歌德曾说:“我们虽可以靠父母和亲戚的庇护而成长,倚赖兄弟和好友,借交游的扶助,因爱人而得到幸福,但是无论怎样,归根结底人还是要依赖自己。”我们可以经由他人获得帮助、获取支持,但无论如何,都无法从他人身上获取持续的生存力量。这一股能支撑你自己不断向前的力量,只有自己能产生。只有你自己产生的力量,才是安全又长久的。
无论你现在是处在情爱中的依赖、职场中的依赖、生活中的依赖,都请你,尽早地拼尽全力如当年的我一样,摆脱出来。
文章大全最新版励志文章:傻逼样的去坚持
作者:哼哼哈hi
仅以此文,送给那些正在踌躇满志的人,希望能带给你们一点勇气和能量。愿你抛开一切,尝试一次。
岁月中,总得有一次活的像个傻逼一样,为了自己想要的事而努力,体会一次成功究竟有多牛逼。
别总嘲笑身边傻傻付出的人,其实和他们相比,你才是最傻的。别总鄙视别人的成功,其实和他们相比,你才是最low的。别总努力一刻就放弃,成功其实已经在来的路上。
我们都曾见证或身边的人的成功,也许在祝福之后,会不屑的说:傻逼,点儿挺高啊!就这样的人都能行,那好像没有人不行了是啊!你也行,只是你只是说说而已。最终你成了自己口中的傻逼来仰望别人牛逼的人生。
我都知道,努力的过程很痛苦,它可能会剥夺你的自由和快乐,让你每天焦头烂额,无所适从。如果你准备考研,那么当你的室友都躺在寝室看电视剧的时候,你一定正坐在图书馆里奋笔疾书;如果你准备减肥,那么当面前飘着米线烧烤的香味的时候,你一定正在坚定的说“不”;如果你想要勤工俭学,那么当别人在周游列国的时候,你一定在某个饭馆端茶送水。
但是当你经历傻傻的努力后,你会收获无法想象的美好。剧情就会反转过来:你考上了研究生,而你的朋友们还在到处投着简历,四处碰壁;你的身材精致了起来,美貌与智慧并存,走到哪里都是风景;你用自己的努力攒够了门票的钱,带着你的父母一起畅游山水间。
所以,既然你已经预见了这样的结果,为什么不能有一次毅然决然的努力,生活不会辜负你。
-01- 因为痛,所以才叫青春呀
一辈子中,最美的年纪就是拥有青春的日子。单凭年纪,你已经赢了太多人,手握着比别人多太多的机会,和改变命运的筹码。谁都会有痛到说不出口的时候,这是青春的代价呀!有些事情,需要无声无息的忘记,经历一次,就长一次的智慧;有些苦痛和烦恼需要默默承受,历练一次,强大一次。别总安于现状,安慰自己,找太多的借口。说的再多,也不如行动一次。
别再站在原地仰望别人的成功,迈开步子,痛也要走下去。
-02- 书读多了,容颜自然改变
高考之后,你多少天没有拿起一本书细心的品读?多少天没拿起一支笔写下你的心事与感悟?我们渐渐过上了离不开手机的生活,甚至觉得上课没带手机比没带书还可怕。我们习惯了通过手机来交流想法,代替了语言,代替了书信,省略了感情。
有心无相,相逐心生;有相无心,相随心灭
做一个傻子,即便智商不高,却可以在某一方面达到痴迷。愿你对书也一样。什么书都好,只要看完之后能带给你感悟和改变。我们会在阅读别人的人生的同时审视自己,提升自己。没有天生丽质,无所谓;没有众星捧月,无所谓。只要有书,只要多读书。容颜自然改变,人生注定不同。
-03- 诋毁,本身就是一种仰望
人多嘴杂,这四个字足以让你体会世态炎凉。一百张嘴里有一百个你,或大方,或小气,或勇敢,或胆怯。但你还是你。
活在别人嘴里的人注定是不会有什么大出息的,他们整天为了别人的赞美而欢天喜地,因为别人的诋毁而不知所措,放弃世界。其实这是完全没必要的,你有你自己的生活,有自己的姿态,为什么要根据别人的言语来评判自己。人生在世,多说八九十年,没人能预测到未来是幸运还是不测。若是整日把精神用在分析别人的评价上,那你早晚有一天得淹死在别人的吐沫星子里。
之所以有人诋毁你,是因为你身上一定有他没有的特质,他嫉妒的所拥有的,得到的。其实,他是在换一种角度在向你表达他的羡慕和崇拜。既然这样,为什么不开心呢?
被别人仰望难道不是一种幸福吗?
-04- 自信是最好的饰品
我总觉得,自信是一个人气质最好的体现。不在于你的美貌,而是你由内而外散发出来的阳光与无所畏惧。
不必每天带着崇拜的眼神看待别人的成功,觉得自己输的一败涂地。谁都有闪光点,只是你没有而已。化妆品很贵,美容保养也很贵,你急于用这些来填补岁月的痕迹,却忘了自信才是让你返老还童的特效药。
所以,请你在走路的时候抬起头,请你在坚持不下去的时候给自己一个鼓励,再难也要坚持,即使像个傻逼一样。
如果有一天,我希望也能有一次,像个傻逼一样为了想要的东西一往无前的努力。纵使别人百般阻挠,也要活出自己想要的模样。
一、《阿甘正传》对励志主题的诠释与升华
在1994年斩获奥斯卡六大奖项的经典美国励志电影《阿甘正传》,由温斯顿·葛鲁姆的同名小说改编而来,讲述了主人公阿甘的传奇一生。生来智商只有75的主人公福瑞斯特·甘,虽然先天智障,但在母亲的引导下,从小自强不息,最终奇迹般地在多个领域创造了不同奇迹,甚至还得到了总统的接见。阿甘的双腿无法像常人一般行走自如,走路要靠金属支架,但大学时期竟一跃成为受人瞩目的橄榄球明星,后来,参加越南战争的他因种种巧合成为著名越战英雄,甚至意外成为美国的乒乓球外交使者,到最后还坐拥十几条渔船,积累无数财富。电影将阿甘的一生讲述得生动而有趣,在观众看来,固然十分具有传奇色彩,而在电影中,更令观众为之动容的则是在阿甘身上体现出的励志精神。可以说,阿甘的一生,就是对“励志”这一主题最深刻的诠释。无知即无所畏惧。阿甘那颗淳朴简单的心灵,以及任何时候都不言放弃的执着,以及他仅有的智慧,指引着他把所有的能量、信念和勇气都集中于无尽的奔跑之中。阿甘不知疲倦地奔跑,这让他的一生拥有了精彩纷呈的阅历,亦让他从不断变迁中美国社会的阴暗面中逃离并得以保持自己的本真和人性中最可贵的真善美。在电影史上,阿甘注定会成为流传后世的经典人物形象,这不仅因为这_人物形象的魅力,更在于他所诠释的精神内涵。
二、《阿甘正传》在课堂教学中的使用效果
较之传统课堂教学中的“教师授课,学生听课”这一形式,使用电影作为教学的辅助手段显然提高了学生们课堂学习的兴趣和积极性,学生的注意力全然为电影所吸引。电影中,阿甘儿时,在珍妮的“Run!Forrest run!”中跑过了同龄人的打骂与嘲笑;上学时,在教练的严苛训斥中跑过了大学的足球场;从军后,在枪林弹雨的越南战场跑过了生与死;冷战时期,阿甘还跑过了乒乓外交的赛场;后来,又在众人的注视下跑遍了美国。故事层层推进,高潮迭起,而学生们在故事中思考,通过对主题的挖掘,得以全方位地感受主人公的励志精神。而影片中阿甘的经典台词成为学生们津津乐道的一部分,通过适当的引导,可以将其引入课堂的学习和练习中。相比课本上的正统的英文教学所选用的材料,影片中地道的美式英语在词汇和遣词用句方面更加贴近其母语环境。寓教于乐的教学方式有助于高效地促进学生的听说水平的提升,而影片以主人公坐在长椅上向路人讲述的方式将整个故事完整地娓娓道来,这一叙事角度同样也能够引发学生们在日后的英语写作中尝试不同的叙事角度的兴趣。从更深层面来看,课堂英语教学,不仅旨在使学生们打下扎实的英语视听说基础,还在于让学生拓宽视野,贴近地去认识西方社会的生活方式以及文化等,通过观看《阿甘正传》,学生还能在这142分钟的观影过程中迅速了解美国社会这几十年的变迁,这进一步拓宽了他们知识面。
三、励志主题的英文电影应用于英语教学的可行性
师者,传道受业解惑者也。在现代的教学中,除了教授知识、答疑解惑之外,“传道”——在这里可以认为是对学生道德品格的培养,也同样重要。从当前来看,这是保证学生德智体美全面发展的要求,从长远来看,则是教育事业的根本。教书育人,最终还是落实到对一代又一代学生的杰出品格和良好的人格修养的培养上。在提倡传递社会正能量的当下,在利用电影对课堂教学进行辅助的同时,对学生的品德方面的培养不容忽略。通过《阿甘正传》和同类型的励志影片,可以有效地向学生传递一种积极向上的人生态度,引导学生在日常生活中培养坚强乐观的性格。目前,我国正进入全面转型的发展阶段,改革开放以来的社会问题和矛盾正累积到一个临界点,另一方面则是人们的思想意识的不断进步以及自身诉求也在不断多样化,现代人道德水准降到了冰点。作为国家未来的建设者,学生群体的道德品格建设同样也对教育工作者提出了新的要求。在教学中传达励志精神,传递正能量是必要的,而很大程度上,可以认为,通过电影这一形式去传达,效果往往更好。
现代英语课堂最主要的目的在于让学生具备使用英语的能力——确切来说是能够将英语用于实际生活当中,如与人交流。而英文电影恰恰具备了这样的特质:它能够提供最正统最地道的语言环境,同时最大程度地展现英语国家的社会风貌。在课堂上,教师可以根据电影中不同的情境引导学生去体会电影中的语言、词汇、句型等,以此营造一种积极的学习氛围,让学生更好地投入到第二语言的学习当中。在通过实际的影视课堂教学中,学者们发现学生们英语学习的动机非常重要,并且这种教学方式也体现了电影的好处,那就是能积极地起到促进学生兴趣的作用。通过电影,学生可以更全方位地了解异国文化,观看电影这一轻松愉快的方式,还能营造出良好的学习氛围,大幅度提高学习效率。作为可以选用在课堂教学上作为辅助的电影,其艺术水平必然出类拔萃,借此机会培养学生电影艺术的鉴赏能力,这不仅能够提高学生的艺术修养,也体现了现代教学的先进理念。此外,在观看电影的基础之上,还可以指导学生进行相应的课后拓展,比如写影评、排練与之相关的主题小品或者话剧,甚至还可以对电影进行改编等。
