英语美文：没有努力的动力，应该怎么办
Realize that you
have options. There are places even here in
the US where people don't have the option of
being out of
survival mode enough to ponder
these issues.
要明白你还有选择如何生活的权利。在美国，有些地方的人们甚
至还
陷于如何生存下去的水深火热之中，根本没时间考虑其他问题。
If I
were you, this is what I’d do： I’d pack a backpack
and start traveling for up to a year.
如果我是你，我会打包行李，开始为期一年的旅行。
The beauty of
traveling is that, with little effort, it will
take you out of your head - new currencies,
new foods, new
accents and people so you HAVE
to pay more attention to
everyday things.
旅行的魅力在于，只需要耗费一点点精力，就会让你跳出现有的生活
状态，去理解新的货币，接
触新奇的食物，不同的口音和人们，于是
你就会更多地去注重日常事物。
Whether abroad or in the US, I’d suggest you
do some
volunteer work. When you don’t know
what to do for yourself,
go do something for
another person (or for animals, the
environment, etc…).
无论你去国外还是在美国，我建议你做一
些志愿者工作。当你不知道
自己要做什么时，那就去为别人（或动物，环境等…）做一些事情。
Besides traveling and volunteering, something
else that’s
great for when you don’t give a
hoot is to read.
除了旅行和志愿者活动，在你对一切不屑
一顾的时候，阅读会有益于
你。
Read just for reading
sake! Not to make you a better person,
to get
ahead, to pass the time, to be productive. Just
find
anything or anyone that interests you and
read about it.
为了阅读而阅读！读书不是为了成为一个更好的人，而是为了
进步，
消磨时间或是提升创新思维。只要找任何你感兴趣的人或物去阅读就
能够。
Remember you are not the one feeling this
sense of
helplessness.
你要知道每个人都会有感到无助的时候。
It's ok to fail. I
know how bad you feel now. You worked so
hard
to get into your dream school and you didn't get
admitted in the end. It just didn't make any
sense. Just let
all these emotions out. Cry it
out. And let it go.
失败了没关系。我知道你现在有多难过。你如此努
力却最终没有被你
梦寐以求的学校录取。但现在说这些都没有意义了。让你的情绪宣泄
出来。大
声哭出来吧。然后让它随风而去。
You are not alone. There
are people around you who cares
about you.
Your parents, friends, siblings. They were always
there. Go talk to them and tell them how you
feel.
你并没有孤立无援。你身边还有很多关心你的人。比如你的父母，朋
友和
兄弟姐妹。他们一直都在。试着与他们谈谈心，告诉他们你的感
受。
Life is
meaningful. Stop whatever you are doing and think
about your life. What is important to you?
What makes you
happy? Or what makes you
particularly sad? These are a few
places you
can start.
生活是有意义的。不管你在做什么，都要停下手中的事去思考你的生<
br>活。对你来说什么才是重要的？
什么会使你快乐？或是什么会让你特
别伤心？这些都是你能够重新出发的点。
Life's beautiful. It may seem like life’s
unfair because you
didn't get you wanted after
giving up so much. But these
failures and
setbacks will renew your perspective in life.
You realise you didn't really need whatever
you're working so
hard for. You start to
cherish the people and the things
around you.
Endure the darkness because it shows you the
stars.
生活是美好的。有时候你可能会觉得生活待你不公，因为在你放弃很<
br>多东西以后依旧没有得到你想要的。但是这些失败和挫折都会刷新你
的人生观。你会意识到你所努
力争取的并不是你真正想要的。于是你
开始懂得珍惜身边的人和事。忍受了黑暗才能看见漫天的繁星星。
