美文欣赏：压力就像一杯水，拿得越久，它就越重
Once upon a time a psychology professor walked around on a stage while teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students.
曾经，有一位心理学教授在讲台上来回走着，向满席的学生传授压力管理原则。
As she raised a glass of water, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, How hey is this glass of water Im holding?
当她举起一杯水，笑着问：我举着的这杯水有多重?
Students shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple pounds.
从八盎司到几磅，学生们大声地喊出答案。
She replied, From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesnt matter. In each case, the weight of the glass doesnt change, but the longer I hold it, the heier it feels to me.
她回答道：在我看来，这杯水的绝对重量不重要。在各种情况里，这杯水的重量都没变，但是我举得越久，我就觉得越重。
As the class shook their heads in agreement, she continued, Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water.
当全班晃头表示同意时，她继续说道：你们在生活中的压力和担忧就非常像这杯水。
Its important to remember to let go of your stresses and worries. No matter what happens during the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.
记得放开你的压力和担忧是非常重要的。不管那天发生了什么，到了傍晚，你应该尽快放下你所有的重担。
如果你仍能感觉到昨天压力的重量，这是一记重要的指示，告诉你是时候把杯子放下了。
双语美文：什么才是生命中真正重要的东西?
The Important Things in Life
生活中重要的事情
A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches indiameter.
课前，一位哲学教授站在讲台上，他面前的桌子上放了几样东西。上课后，教授什么也没说，他拿起一个又大又空的蛋黄酱罐子，然后往里面放入大概2英寸直径的小石块。
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
然后，他问学生这个罐子是否已经满了?学生们都回答说是。
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
然后教授就拿起一瓶小鹅卵石，然后把石头倒进罐子里，他轻轻地摇了摇罐子。这样小鹅卵石就进到石块的间隙中去。
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
然后，他又问学生这个罐子是否已经满了?学生们都回答说是。
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.
然后教授就拿起一瓶沙子，然后把沙子倒进罐子里，沙子又填充进了间隙中。
He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous Yes.
然后，他又问学生们，这个罐子是否已经满了?学生们一致同意说：已经满了。
Now, said the professor, I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things your family, your partner, your health, your children things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.
教授说：现在，我希望你们把人生看作是这个罐子，石头就是那些重要的事情--你们的家庭，爱人，健康，孩子，吐过把除了这些之外的其他东西都丢掉，你们的人生其实还是充实的。鹅卵石就是那些对你们不是最重要但也要紧的东西，比如你的工作、房子、车。而沙子就是那些其他的无关紧要的小事情。
If you put the sand into the jar first, he continued, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never he room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, or fix the disposal.
教授继续说：如果你先把沙子放进这个罐子，那罐子里就没有地方放小鹅卵石和石块了，你们的人生也是这样。
如果你将所有的时间和精力都放在那些小事情上，你就不会有精力关注那些真正对你重要的东西。将精力放在那些真正和你的幸福息息相关的事情上。和你的孩子一起玩耍。带你的爱人出去跳舞。而工作，打扫屋子，举办场宴会，修理东西，这些事情总是会有时间的。
Take care of the rocks first the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
首先考虑岩石，即那些真正重要的事情。设置好你的优先事项。剩下的只是沙子。
双语美文：整个世界因你而不同
All the Difference in The World
整个世界因你而改变
Every Sunday morning I take a light jog around a park near my home. Theres a lake located in one corner of the park. Each time I jog by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the waters edge with a small metal cage sitting beside her.
每个星期日的早晨我都会绕着我家附近的公园轻松地慢跑。公园的一角有一片湖。每当我慢跑经过这片湖，都会看到同一个老妇人，身边放着一个金属笼子坐在湖边。
This past Sunday my curiosity got the best of me, so I stopped jogging and walked over to her.
上个星期日我终于忍不住好奇，停止了慢跑，走到她身边。
As I got closer, I realized that the metal cage was in fact a small trap.
走近时我发现金属笼子其实是一个小陷阱。
There were three turtles, unharmed, slowly walking around the base of the trap.
三只乌龟安然无恙，绕着陷阱底部慢悠悠地爬着。
She had a fourth turtle in her lap that she was carefully scrubbing with a spongy brush.
她正认真地用海绵刷擦拭着第四只趴在她膝盖上的乌龟。
Hello, I said. If you dont mind my nosiness, Id love to know what youre doing with these turtles.
你好啊，我说。如果你不介意我多管闲事的话，我很想知道你在对这些乌龟做什么呢。
She smiled. Im cleaning off their shells , she replied.
我在清洗他们的壳，她笑着回答说。
Anything on a turtles shell, like algae or scum, reduces the turtles ability to absorb heat and impedes its ability to swim. It can also corrode and weaken the shell over time.
任何乌龟壳上，像海藻、泡沫浮渣这些东西，都会减弱乌龟的吸热能力并且阻碍他们游动，时间长了还会腐蚀龟壳，让龟壳变得脆弱。
She went on: I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. Its my own strange way of making a difference.
她继续说道：每个星期天早晨我都会花几个小时待在湖边，边放松自己，边帮这些小家伙摆脱困难。这就是我奇怪的制造改变的方式。
But dont most freshwater turtles live their whole lives with algae and scum hanging from their shells? I asked.
但是，难道不是所有的淡水乌龟都是伴随着它们壳上的海藻和泡沫、浮渣度过一生的吗?我问道。
Yep, sadly, they do, she replied.
遗憾的是，它们的确这样。她回答道。
Well then, dont you think your time could be better spent? And 99% of these turtles dont he kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, no offense but how exactly are your localized efforts here truly making a difference?
那么，你不觉得你在浪费时间吗?99%的乌龟都没有遇到像你这么好的人去帮他们清洗龟壳。所以，无意冒犯但是你在这儿，通过你一个人的努力到底能带来多大改变呢?
The woman giggled aloud.
老妇人大声咯咯笑起来。
She then looked down at the turtle in her lap, scrubbed off the last piece of algae from its shell, and said, Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, hed tell you I just made all the difference in the world.
接着她看看膝盖上的乌龟，把龟壳上的最后一块海藻擦拭干净，说道：亲爱的，如果这只小乌龟会说话的话，它一定会告诉你我刚刚改变了整个世界。
