　　Happiness Will Come Again

　　Are you aware that everything in our life always seemingly imitate each other?

　　The things you encountered today appeared to have happened before ,only the trivial details were somewhat different .

　　Take , the scene of love , for example , your lovers may have been different over the years , whereas there are many things you might also have experienced in the past .Falling in love is no more than the several specified phases . The flirtation between lovebirds is also simply about the several specifid steps. Also the quarrel between the two is nothing but for the several specified reasons . The breakup ,or failure in love , seems to bear lots of subtle resemblances to the previous one, too .

　　Things occur between friends , like jealousy , aloofness , diffidation, are not fresh . Haven't these sorts of things arisen between you and your friends before ? This time, the roles have been exchanged only .

　　It is not only the people who appear in our lives that we seemingly have known , but also our life . Say you have once hurt the one who was deeply in love with you .And one day you were hurt by the one you were deeply in love with . It was not what we call nemesis ,because there was no right or wrong about feelings between man and woman. Nor was there so called circulation. We considered startlingly that all the things before our eyes were out of nemesis ,which were merely man's life . The miscellaneous things in our life will originally imitate each other .

　　Love is like this , so is long or forever parting .

　　Happiness is like this, and so is sorrow.

　　To be a human will sometimes be tedious in that the things happened were too similar . To be a human will sometimes be fun, because we know happiness will come again due to similarity .

　　快樂會重來

　　有沒有發覺，人生的萬件事情，總好像是互相模仿？

　　你今天遇到的事情，從前好像已經遭遇過了，只是細枝末節有點不同罷了。

　　比如愛情的`場景，多少年來，你愛的人不一樣，但是，許多事情你從前也經歷過了。戀愛也不外乎那幾個階段。情侶調情，也不外乎那幾個步驟。兩個人吵架，也不外乎那幾個理由。后來的分手，或者失戀，跟上次失戀也好像有很多微妙的相似。

　　朋友間發生的事，像妒忌、疏遠、絕交，并不新鮮。你以前不也是跟朋友發生過這些事情嗎？只是，這一次，大家的角色對調了。

　　似曾相識的，不單單是一些在我們生命里出現的人，還有我們的生活。你曾傷害一個愛你至深的人，一天，你被你至深的人深深傷害。這并不是什么報應，男女感情，無所謂對錯，也無所謂循環。我們吃驚地以為眼前一切是報應，這只不過是人生。人生里的萬件事情，本來便會相互模仿。

　　愛情如是，生死別離如是。

　　快樂如是，悲傷也如是。

　　做人有時很悶，因為發生的事太相似了。做人有時很有趣，因為相似，我們知道快樂會重來

英語美文30篇24-Work and Pleasure（2）

　　To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: “I will take an interest in this or that.” Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human being may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual laborer, tired out with a hard week’s sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.

　　It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune’s favored children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vacation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.

英語標準美文 Competition（3）

　　It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels.This is exciting.Yet, on the other hand, competition breeze a pragmatic attitude.People choose to learn things that are useful,and do things that are profitable.Todays' college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism. Many college students choose business nor computing programming as their majors convinced that this professions are where the big money is. It is not unusual to see the college students taking a part time jobs as a warming up for the real battle.I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving licence to get a licence. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense, students do have reasons to be practical. However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if your utilitarianism is prevails on campus, living no space for the cultivation of students' minds,or nurturing of their soul. We will see university is training out well trained spiritless working machines.If utilitarianism prevails society, we will see people bond by mind-forged medicals lost in the money-making ventures;we will see humality lossing their grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous.I'd like to think society as a courage and people persumed for profit or fame as a horese that pulls the courage.Yet without the driver picking direction the courage would go straight and may even end out in a precarious situation .A certificate may give you some advantage, but broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrities ,these are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way.In today's world, whether highest level of competition is not of skills or expertise , but vision and strategy. Your intellectual quality largely determinds how far you can go in your career.
