英语是当今世界上通用的语言，我们这些英语爱好者更是要首当其冲学好英语。在学习过程中，英语口语是非常重要的，但是有不少学子都羞于开口，只会哑巴英语。为了鼓励学弟学妹们敢于开口说英语，18级的漂亮学姐在各班开展朗读英语活动，首先介绍一下今日的朗读者，她们就是来自18级 赵丹诗、马芝帆和陈田田。现在让我们观看她们精彩的表演吧!

赵丹诗

Remember

my son you have to work.

年轻人

无论如何你都得工作

Whether you handle a pick or a pen,

a wheel-barrow or a set of books,

不管你挥洒锄头亦或笔墨

不论你是推车的或是统计帐薄的

digging ditches or editing a paper,

ringing an auction bell

or writing funny things,

you must work.

无论你是汗流浃挖沟渠还是编辑报纸文章

也可能是拍卖师亦或是一位作家

都必须有一份为之努力奋斗的工作

If you look around

you will see the men

who are the most able

to live the rest of their days without work

are the men who work the hardest.

如果你留意观察周围的人

你就会发现

足够努力才能积累以后

享受天伦之乐的资本

Don't be afraid of killing yourself

with overwork.

It is beyond your power to do that

on the sunny side of thirty.

理性看待勤奋工作带给我们的负担

因为30岁的你承受能力远不止于此

They die sometimes,

but it is because

they quit work

at six in the evening,

and do not go home

until two in the morning.

当然也不乏有六点下班后

在外流连到凌晨两点才回家

挥霍青春与时间的人

It’s the interval that kills, my son.

或许正是晚上六点到凌晨两点

这段时间的生活毁了他们自己

The work gives you

an appetite for your meals;

it lends solidity to your slumbers,

it gives you a perfect

and grateful appreciation

of a holiday.

积极的工作心态会带给你愉悦

且不错的生活质量

还能让你学会

如何更好的享受完美的假期

There are young men who do not work,

but the world is not proud of them.

这世界

不会为不工作的年轻人迟疑一刻

It does not know their names,

even it simply speaks of them

as “old So-and-So’s boy”.

这世界只会铭记努力的人

所以记得别成为他们口中的那些

“那个谁谁谁 或是 某某某”

Nobody likes them,

the great, busy world

doesn’t know that they are there.

没人会在意他们

这茫茫人海、忙忙碌碌的世界

更不会记得他们

So find out what you want to be and do,

and take off your coat

and make a dust in the world.

所以

努力找到你想做、你要做的事情

撸起袖子，在这世界留下你的印记

The busier you are,

the less harm you will be apt to get into,

the sweeter will be your sleep,

the brighter and happier your holidays,

and the better satisfied

will the world be with you.

所以让自己忙起来吧

这样你会发觉自己生活更幸福

梦乡更甜美、生活更富足

这世界也因你的努力让自己更加明媚

马芝帆

Failure is the real wealth

失败才是真正的财富

Have you ever failed?

If you haven't,

I suggest you try some.

你曾经失败过吗？

如果你没有

那我建议你去尝试一下

I have failed, many times.

And some of these failures

were even painful.

我失败过，太多次了。

而这些失败之中有一些是很惨痛的。

But I cherish them

more than I cherish my success.

Success sometimes makes you numb.

但我珍惜它们

更甚于我珍惜我的成功

成功有时候会让你麻木

But failures make you awake.

Failures are cleansing.

Failing is not necessarily losing.

Neither does a failure make you a loser.

但失败则会让你清醒

失败让你觉得神清气爽

失败并不一定意味着输

失败了也并不代表你就是个失败者

Failing is just the name we give to the state you stay in until you succeed.

我们只是用失败来称呼成功之前的那种状态而已

A failure is a precious opportunity to learn new things.

一次失败是一次学习新东西的好机会。

And trust me.

You always remember what you learn in failures

better than those you learn in success.

而且，相信我

你永远会把失败中所学的东西

记得比成功中所学的东西更牢固

Failing doesn't mean

you lost something forever.

It only means

that you didn't get it yet

and you have to find another way to get it.

一次失败并不意味着你就永远失去了什么

它只是意味着你现在还没得到它

而你需要想另一个办法去得到它

And isn't that a treasure?

A new direction to think.

Don't pray for easy success.

That' a curse.

而这难道不是一份宝藏吗?

一个全新的思考方向

请不要祈求唾手可得的成功

那是一种诅咒

Pray for hard failure.

As long as it doesn't kill you,

it will definitely make you stronger.

去祈求重大的失败吧

只要它没能将你杀死

那它必将使你更强大

陈田田
