An Identity of One's Own �z�d��个�?br>　　In the eternal universe, every human being has a one-off chance to live---his existence is unique and irretrievable, for the mold with which he was made, as Rousseau said, was broken by God immediately afterwards.
　　在茫茫宇宙间�Q�每个�h都只有一�ơ生存的��Z��Q�都是一个独一无二、不可重复的存在。正像卢梭所说的�Q�上帝把你造出来后�Q�就把那个属于你的特定的模子打碎了�?/span>
　　Fame, wealth and knowledge are merely worldly possessions that are within the reach of anybody striving for them. But your experience of and feelings about life are your own and not to be shared. No one can live your life over again after your death. A full awareness of this will point out to you that the most important thing in your existence is your distinctive individuality or something special of yours. What really counts is not your worldly success but your peculiar insight into the meaning of life and your commitment to it, which add luster to your personality.
　　名声、胦产、知识等�{�是�w�外之物�Q��h人都可求而得之，但没有�h能够代替你感受�h生。你��M��后，没有��够代替你再活一�ơ。如果你真正意识��C��q�一点，你就会明白，�z�d��世上�Q�最重要的事��是�z�d��你自��q��特色和滋��x��。你的�h生是否有意义�Q�衡量的标准不是外在的成功，而是你对人生意义的独牚w��悟和坚守�Q�从而��你的自我闪放��Z��性的光华�?br>　　It is not easy to be what one really is. There is many a person in the world who can be identified as anything ---either his job, his status or his social role---that shows no trace about his individuality. It does do him justice to say that he has no identity of his own, if he doesn't know his own mind and all his things are either arranged by others or done on others' suggestions; if his life, always occupied by external things, is completely void of an inner world. You won't be able to find anything whatever, from head to heart, that truly belongs to him. He is, indeed, no more than a shadow cast by somebody else or a machine capable of doing business.
　　真正成�ؓ自己不是一件容易的事。世上有许多人，你说他是什么都行，例如是一�U�职业，一个��n份，一个角�Ԍ��惟独不是他自己。如果一个�h��L��按别人的意见生活�Q�没有自��q��独立思烦�Q��L��为外在事务忙��，没有自己的内心生�z�，那么�Q�说他不是他自己��׃��点儿也没有冤枉他。因为确��实实，从他的头脑到他的心灵�Q�你在其中已�l�找不到丝毫真正属于他自��q��东西了，他只是别人的一个媄子和事务的一架机器�Ş了�?/span>

EverydayEnglish--The Joy of Living

snail — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 01:45:00 GMT

Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside a mask. People who have this joy don’t need to talk about it, they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight into other lives as nature as a bird sings.

We can never get it from working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It’s a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into our living, not from what we seek to get from it.

中文译文�Q?/strong>

生活的乐��来源于良好的情�l�，信赖�q�些情��A�Q��ƈ�ȝ��它们如鸟儉K��飞于天空般的自由自在。生�zȝ��乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的，也无法用带上一张面��h��伪装。拥有这�U�乐��的��Z��无需挂在嘴上�Q�他们自然会焕发出欢乐的气息。他们自��q��z�d��快乐当中�Q�也��这��L��快乐自然而然的感染着他�h�Q�犹如是鸟儿��必��歌唱�?br>
直接�q�求生活的乐��却只会使乐��远��L��们，它与�q�福一样青睐胸有大志的人。生�z�过的高雅，��单就会��生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入，而非所求�?/p>

爱惜自己�Q?不要��L��攑ּ�

snail — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 03:12:00 GMT
1. Eat Junk
    Last year, at least 400,000 Americans managed to kill themselves based almost solely on what they ate. Heart disease is the country's number one killer and, while some of that comes from genetics, most of it's due to the fat-laden, sugar-heavy junk we put in our bodies.

2. Smoke
    Tobacco-related illnesses are America's number two killer, and the most preventable. Just one cigarette will immediately increase your blood pressure and decrease the circulation to your extremities.

3. Watch TV
    Not only is television entertaining, it can keep us on the couch for hours at a time several days per week. The average American spends a full 9 years of his life glued to the boob tube, years that could otherwise be spent exercising.

4. Stress Out
    Creating more stress in your life is a great way to invite all kinds of diseases to attack the body. When you're chronically stressed, the adrenal glands are forced to work overtime and eventually exhaust themselves, inhibiting the immune system.
长期�_��紧张
      长期�_��紧张会促使肾上腺�Ȁ素分泌过多，�q�会使你�_��亢奋而不会感到疲劻I��但精��亢奋时间过长而不休息会让��Z��器官感到疲劳�Q�病��D��各种疄��的出现�?/span>

5. Drink a Lot
    The occasional drink of alcohol, especially wine, can be beneficial to your health, many studies suggest. But if you're looking to do yourself in, overdo the two-drink-per-day limit and imbibe heartily. Besides alcoholism of course, too much booze causes liver damage, diabetes and is the root cause of nearly 100,000 deaths per year.

6. Drive a Lot
    If people wanted to increase their chance of surviving 'til a ripe old age, they'd fly everywhere. Driving kills more people aged 1 to 35 than anything else, a statistic that could drop to near zero if everyone just stayed home.

7. Dumb Down Your Brain
    Alzheimer’s, the degenerative brain disease attacks almost everyone who lives long enough, though mind games and puzzles are known to ward off the effects.
老年性痴呆症
       随着�q�龄的增长，我们的大脑技能也在逐渐衰退�Q�因此老年人往往会患上老年痴呆症。��^时多做些智力游戏可以减缓老年痴呆症的发病几率�?/span>

8. Ignore the Doctor
    It's a good tactic if early disease detection and important medical consultation are going to get in the way of your Tommy Lee lifestyle.

9. Sacrifice Sleep
    Inadequate sleep (less than 7 or 8 hours a night) has been tied to many different health problems, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. Mental fatigue is also as big of a risk factor for vehicular accidents as alcohol.

Learning�Q�A Lifelong Career

snail — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:00:00 GMT
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.

Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.

学习之于心灵�Q�就像食物之于��n体一栗��摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的��n体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地�Q�我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力�Q��ƈ扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不��的燃料�Q�来�׃��我们��利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持�l�的学习是在信息时代中跟时代�q��齐驱的最�E�_��的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证�?

一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生�z�d��开始了。视学校为�݅取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地�Q�学习应该是一�U�无�l�止的历�E�，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日��将使�h落后。更�p�的是，��C��在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复�z�，削弱我们�q�求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们�h格的�Ʋ望。缺��学习将不可避免地导致心�늚�停滞�Q�甚��x��p�地�Q��其僵化。因此，��Z��保持心理�q�轻�Q�我们必��d��学习当作一生的事业�?/font>

Everyday english - Just for today.

snail — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 08:58:00 GMT

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.
��׃ؓ了今天，我会做自我调整适应事物本来的面目，而不是想方设法��每一件事满��自己的欲望。当��Z��来��的时候我会抓住它�?br>
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.

��׃ؓ了今天，我会用三�U�方法来��炼我的灵魂。我会做�Ҏ��人有利的事但不能被发玎ͼ�若有人发��C��׃��数。我��会做至��两件我不愿做的事情——只��Z��练。我不会让�Q何�h感到我的感情受到了伤宻I��它们可能受到了伤宻I��但今天我不想表现出来�?/font>

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.

��׃ؓ了今天，我会�q�得很惬意。看��h��我达��C��最佳状态，�I�着得体、讲话谦虚、行为礼貌、一点不�Ҏ��求疵�Q�尽量改�q�和调节自己而不是别�?/font>
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.

        Money might not buy you love,but it might be able to buy you happinese.Research by two US economists suggests that richer countries are happier than poor ones and that as the countries get richer their inhibitants become happier.

        Conventional wisdom of the past three decades held that higher national gross domestic product often did not translate into a greater overall sense of wellbeing.

Full-time jobs hard to find

With unemployment on the rise, some job hunters rely on part-time work to make ends meet
