Five Balls of Life
生命中的五个球
In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments: 几年前，在一所大学的开幕典礼中,可口可乐的首席执行官布赖恩•戴森讲到工作与其他义务的关系：
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
想象生命是一场不停丢掷五个球于空中的游戏。这五个球分别为工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵，而且你很努力地掷着这五个球，不让它们落地。很快地你会了解工作是一个橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它，它还是会弹回来。
But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
但是家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。一旦你失手落下，它们可能会少了一角，留下无法挽回的记号、刻痕、损坏甚至碎落一地。它们将永远不会跟以前一样。你必须了解这个道理，并且为平衡你的生命而努力。但要怎么才做得到呢?
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
别拿自己和他人比较，这只会降低了你原有的价值。因为我们都是独一无二的，因为我们每一个人都很特别。
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
别人认为重要的事不一定是你的目标。只有你才知道什么最适合你。
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
不要将贴近你的心的人、事物视为理所当然的存在。你必须将他们视为你的生命一般好好地抓牢他们。没有他们，生命将失去意义。
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life. 别让你的生命总在依恋过去种种或是寄望未来中逝去。如果你活在每个当下，你就活出了生命中的每一天。
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
当你还能给予的时候别轻言放弃。只要你不放弃，就有无限延伸的可能。
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
别害怕承认你并非完美。正因如此，我们才得以藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地串绑在一起。 Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
别害怕遇到危险。正因如此，我们才得以藉由这些机会学习勇敢。
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
别以爱太难找到作为借口而紧闭你的心扉。最迅速找到爱的方法就是给予你的爱;最快速失去爱的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱不放;维持爱的最好方式就是给爱一双翅膀。
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
莫要匆忙地度过你的一生，那匆忙让你忘了曾经到过哪里，也让你忘了你要去哪里。 Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. 莫忘记，人类情感上最大的需要是感恩。
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
莫害怕学习。知识没有重量，它是可以随意携带的珍宝。
Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
莫漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或口无遮拦。时间与言词两者都是一放便收不回来。 Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. 生命不是一场赛跑, 而是一步一个脚印的旅程。
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that’s why we call it ‘The Present’.【不放弃生命的英语例子,】
过去已成历史，未来充满未知。今天是份礼物：那就是我们称之为“现在”的原因。
永不放弃，生命才会精彩
——读《老人与海》有感
平明中学 陈露 指导教师： 顾侠玲 人不是为失败而生的，人可以被毁灭，但不能给打败。
《老人与海》故事的背景是二十世纪中叶的古巴。主角人物是一位名叫圣地亚哥的老渔夫，配角是一个叫马诺林的小男孩。这位风烛残年的老渔夫一连84天没有钓到一条鱼，几乎都快饿死了；平时帮他忙的小男孩也没办法陪他出海了，孩子的父母说圣地亚哥“倒了血霉”。但他仍然不肯认输，而充满着奋斗的精神，终于在第八十五天钓到了一条身长18尺，体重一千五百磅的大马林鱼。大鱼拖着船往前走，但老人依然死拉着不放，即使没有水，没有食物，没有武器，没有助手，而且左手又抽经，但他丝毫不灰心。经过两天两夜之后，他终于杀死大鱼，把它拴在小船边。但许多鲨鱼立刻前来抢他的战利品；他一一的杀死他们，直到最后只剩下一支折断的船柄作为武器。结果，大鱼仍难逃被吃光的命运，最终，老人精疲力竭的托会一副鱼骨头，他回到家，又人为他喝彩，有人感动的落泪，有人为他端来了多加了牛奶和糖的热咖啡。但他只好躺在床上，从梦中去寻回那往日美好的岁月，已忘却残酷的现实。
就是这样简简单单的故事情节，可给人的生活的启迪却太大太大了。
中华人民共和国的成立是艰辛的，回顾过去，红军两万五千里长征，八年的抗战，四年的解放战争，共产党都是以永不言弃的精神来面对，终于迎来了胜利的曙光。
中华人民共和国的繁荣昌盛是来之不易的。研究两弹一星，建立北斗导航，创建属于自己的航母战斗群，这些都是依靠永不言败的精神来面对困难的科学家，没有科学家，没有永不言败的精神，我们也不会过着富足的生活。我国也不会在国际上有显赫的地位。
现如今，中考将近，它是我们人生的第一个转折点，顺利拐过这个弯，我们就能摆脱“书到用时方恨少。钱到月底不够花。”的境地。但是只凭空想象可不行，我们要以永不言败的精神来面对中考，我们要学习圣地亚哥那样，知道失败却不怕失败，不怕失败压倒的顽强精神。
也许我们会失败，但在奋斗的过程中，我们可以慢慢的成长，慢慢的感受着永不言败的重要性。也许我们，会失败，但是我们不能就此罢休，因为“人不是为失败而生的，一个人可以被摧毁，却不能被打败”。
这些年的朝朝暮暮，这些年所付出的汗水都是为了这一朝。我一定会端正心态，冲刺中考。
点评：此篇作文结合《老人与海》的故事情节分析，从主人公圣地亚哥的精神入手，回顾我国走过的艰难历程，最终把点落在了即将面临的中考上。希望小作者带着圣地亚哥不怕失败的精神，直面中考，考出一个好的未来。 （顾侠玲）
双语灵修 绝不放弃Never Give Up
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7
那美好的仗我已经打过了；当跑的路我已经跑尽了；所信的道我已经守住了。-提摩太后书4章7节
Joop Zoetemelk is known as the Netherlands’ most successful cyclist. But that’s because he never gave up. He started and finished the Tour de France 16 times—placing second five times before winning in 1980. That’s perseverance!
约普·祖特梅尔克（Joop Zoetemelk）被称为荷兰最成功的自行车手，这是因为他那绝不放弃的精神。祖特梅尔克参加过十六次环法自行车赛，其中五次获得亚军，直到1980年才夺得冠军。如此可见，他有非凡的毅力！
Many winners have reached success by climbing a special ladder called “never give up.” However, there are also many who have lost the opportunity to achieve success because they gave up too soon. This can happen in every area of life: family, education, friends, work, service. Perseverance is a key to victory.
许多胜利者成功的秘诀，主要是因为他们那不屈不挠、绝不放弃的精神。但也有很多人失去成功的机会，只因他们太早放弃，包括：家庭、学业、友情、工作与服事。坚持是迈向胜利的一个重要关键。
The apostle Paul persevered despite persecution and affliction (2 Tim. 3:10–11). He viewed life with realism, recognizing that as followers of Christ we will suffer persecution (vv. 12–13), but he instructed Timothy to place his faith in God and the encouragement of the Scriptures (vv. 14–15). Doing so would help him face discouragement and endure with hope. At the end of his life, Paul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (4:7).
使徒保罗尽管面对迫害与苦难，仍坚持忍耐到底 (提摩太后书3章10-11节) 。他明白在现实生活中，基督徒都会受逼迫 (12-13节) ，所以保罗教导提摩太要信靠上帝，并相信圣经中的劝勉 (14-15节) ，这可以帮助他面对挫折，并带着盼望坚忍到底。在生命即将结束时，保罗说：“那美好的仗我已经打过了；当跑的路我已经跑尽了；所信的道我已经守住了。” (4章7节)
We too can allow the Scriptures to strengthen us to press on in the race marked out for us. For our God is both a promise-making and promise-keeping God and will reward those who faithfully finish the race (v. 8).
我们也可以靠上帝的话语得着力量，奋力奔跑那摆在我们前面的路程。我们的上帝赐下应许且信守承诺，祂必赏赐那些忠心跑完天路的人 (8节) 。
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7
Heavenly Father, give me strength of character and perseverance to serve you better. Help me not to get discouraged when things get tough but to rely on You to see me through.
Faith connects our weakness to God’s strength.
天父，求祢让我能坚强忍耐地服事祢。
即使环境艰难，
也求祢帮助我不要气馁，
相信祢能带领我度过难关。
信靠上帝，软弱者必得着力量。
INSIGHT:
Paul experienced great persecution in the cities of Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. In Antioch, he faced aggressive opposition from the religious leaders (Acts 13:45; 15:1–2). In Iconium, Gentile and Jewish leaders conspired to have him killed (14:4–5). And in Lystra, he was stoned and left for dead (v. 19). Yet in his final letter to Timothy, Paul uses these three cities as examples of perseverance. He recounts these terribly painful events not to garner pity but to remind Timothy of God’s faithfulness during times of hardship and pain.
灵粮透视:
保罗在安提阿、以哥念和路司得这几个城市中，遭受了极大的迫害。在安提阿，他遇到宗教领袖的激烈反对（使徒行传13章45节，15章1-2节）。在以哥念，外邦人和犹太领袖密谋杀害他（14章4-5节）。而在路司得，他几乎被人用石头打死（19节）。然而，在保罗写给提摩太的最后一封书信当中，保罗却以在这三座城市中的亲身经历作为坚忍的例证。他讲述这些可怕又痛苦的事件，不是为了博取同情，而是提醒提摩太：即使面对艰难和痛苦，上帝仍然信实可靠。
今日读经 提摩太后书 2 Timothy 3:10-15
A Final Charge to Timothy
10 You, however, know all about my teaching,(A) my way of life, my purpose,
11 faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings—what kinds
of things happened to me in Antioch,(B) Iconium(C) and Lystra,(D) the
persecutions I endured.(E) Yet the Lord rescued(F) me from all of them.(G) 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,(H) 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to
14 worse,(I) deceiving and being deceived.(J) But as for you, continue in what
you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from
(K)15 (L)whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy
Scriptures,(M) which are able to make you wise(N) for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
10 但你已经服从了我的教训、品行、志向、信心、宽容、爱心、忍耐， 11 以及我在安提阿、以哥念、路司得所遭遇的逼迫、苦难。我所忍受是何等的逼迫，但从这一切苦难中，主都把我救出来了。 12 不但如此，凡立志在基督耶稣里敬虔度日的，也都要受逼迫。 13 只是作恶的和迷惑人的必越久越恶，他欺哄人，也被人欺哄。 14 但你所学习的、所确信的，要存在心里，因为你知道是跟谁学的， 15 并且知道你是从小明白圣经，这圣经能使你因信基督耶稣有得救的智慧。

永不放弃生命的奇迹
——读《假如给我三天光明》有感
在这个暑假里，我读了许许多多的书，但让我印象最深刻、最令我感动地还是又聋又瞎的海伦.凯勒写得自传《假如给我三天光明》。
文中的小海伦是家里的宝，但不幸的是，在她十九个月大时，突然患上了脑部和胃部的急性充血。高烧不退，过了一阵子，小海伦奇迹般地好了，但这让她失去了视力和听力。小海伦大吵大闹，直到沙利文老师的到来，她才改变自己的行为。
最后海伦在沙利文老师的帮助和教导下，考上了美国的哈弗大学拉德克里夫学院。将自己的故事在报纸上连载。还认识了许多的朋友，发生了许多有趣的事。最后，“如果再给我三天光明，我会......”
这本书带给我很大的震撼，因为作者是个聋哑人，但她却依然热爱生活，努力学习，很有毅力。因为作者又聋又瞎，学习一定比我们困难，虽然她在学习上有过一次次的跌倒，但她却在困难中一次次地爬起来，决不向困难低头，更神奇的是她竟然考上了让无数莘莘学子神往的哈弗大学，可见她的决心和毅力是多么顽强！
最令我感动地是书的最后一章，作者写道：“如果她有三天光明，她想在光明世界里做事。”这些她想想做的事，都是我们能做到的事，但我们却不好好珍惜眼前的美好，遇到困难和挫折反而自暴自弃，互相埋怨。
读了《假如给我三天光明》这本书，我才真正明白了人活在这个世上，就一定会遇上各种挫折，但绝不能轻言放弃。若一生平坦，就
更应该珍惜眼前的幸福时光，这样才不辜负了上帝赐予我们的明亮眼睛和一切美好事物。不要等到失去的时候才后悔莫及，才会无限留恋，才觉得光明的可贵。
