英语名篇诵读 生活是我们自己创造的

（单词翻译）

Life Is What We Make It

生活是我们自己创造的

Orison Swett Marden(奥里森·斯韦特·马登)

Are you dissatisfied with today's success?It is the harvest from yesterday's sowing. Do you

dream of a golden morrow ? You will reap what you are sowing today. We get out of life just

what we put into it.

Nature takes on our moods:she laughs with those who laugh and weeps with those who

weep. If we rejoice and are glad, the very birds sing more sweetly, the woods and streams murmur¹

our song. But if we are sad and sorrowful, a sudden gloom falls upon Nature's face; the sun shines,

but not in our hearts; the birds sing, but not to us.

The future will be just what we make it. Our purpose will give it its character. One's

resolution is one's prophecy . Leave all your discouraging pessimism² behind. Do not prophesy³

evil, but good. Men of hope come to be front.

你对今天的成功不满意吗？它是昨天播种的收获。你梦想美好的明天吗？你将要收获

今天正在播下的种子。我们从生活中得到的正是我们所种下的。

大自然呈献我们的情绪：它陪笑的人笑，伴哭的人哭。如果我们快乐舒畅，鸟儿都会

唱得更加甜美，森林和小溪都会低吟浅唱。而如果我们痛苦悲伤，大自然的面孔顿时就会

变得阴郁；太阳照耀着，但照不进我们的心底；小鸟啼啭着，但不为我们歌唱。

未来正是我们自己创造的。我们的目标将给未来以个性。人的决心即是人的预言。抛

弃你所有泄气的悲观主义。不要预测不好不利之事，而要预言好事吉事。怀抱美好希望的

人终为赢者。
