双语美文-梦想不应等待剖析.ppt

梦想不应等待 双语美文 * 有句古老的西班牙谚语：明天常常是一周中最忙碌的一天。有多少次我们曾把梦想托付给明天?要我说，太多次。梦想不应等待，也经不起等待。我们必须马上行动。道理如下： 1. Tomorrow is not promised 　　明天不一定到来 　　Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don’t go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now. 没人愿意谈论死亡，但现实是——死亡必然到来。哪一天或哪一刻没人能说得清。所以，我们真正拥有的是今天。不要因未实现梦想抱憾而终。梦想，或伟大或平凡，不论怎样，从即刻起，作出追逐每个梦想的决定。 2. The world is waiting on your gift世界需要你 　　I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes, YOU! You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can duplicate. Sure, other people may be able to sing. But they’ll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but they’ll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write. Don’t deprive the world of your gift. It’s the oxygen that we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use to better your life and the lives of those around you. 　　我知道，可能你不相信，但是世界的确需要你!是的，就是你!你在这个世界上独一无二，地球上无人可以替代。当然，有的人可能歌唱得好，但是，他们的风格却总是有别于你的。有的人擅长写作，但是他们却永远不能站在你的视角来描述事物。不要对世界吝惜你的天赋。它是我们生存需要的氧气。因此，发掘并利用自己的天赋，承担起改善自己和他人生活的责任。 3. Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true 　　如果跨不出第一步，梦想将终归是梦想 　　You can dream about writing the great American play all you want, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. In other words, dreams don’t work unless you do. They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen. Get to it! 　　写出一部伟大的美剧是你的最大梦想，但是，如果不拿起笔，这部伟大的美剧将永远不会问世。你梦想找到治愈癌症的良方，但是，如果你不学习，不用发现良方所需的工具和手段来武装自己，那仅是纸上谈兵。换句话说，除非身体力行，否则梦想终归是梦想。实现梦想要求你别再做白日梦，
