2、 would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things.You dont know before you begin.很可能刚刚试写几字便用干耗尽；也可能足以完成一部或几部杰作，永存于世，使世事为之大变。Under the rules of the game, you really never know.You have to take a chance! 而这一切你在动笔之前却是一无所知。根据游戏的规则，你确实永远也不会知道，只能冒一下险。Actually, no rule of the game states yo

3、u must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.而事实上，也没有规则说你就一定要做些什么。你大可以把笔搁在架子上、放在抽屉里，弃置不用，任墨水蒸发干净。But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?然而，如果你真的决定使用，你会做什么？怎么来做这个游

4、戏？ Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word?你会左计划、右计划，然后才慢慢下笔吗？Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?计划会不会太泛太多，根本就达不到写作这一步？Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents

5、of words that take you where they take you? 会不会提笔在手，迫不及待地投入其中，任由手中的笔、笔下的字带着你在词海中上下翻腾、左突右冲？ Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe (or pretend to believe) that the pen will write forever and proceed ? 会不会下笔谨小慎微，似乎墨水随时都将干涸

6、？会不会假装或相信、或假装相信笔中墨水永不会枯竭，任你挥洒？ And of what would you write: Of love? Hate? Fun? Misery? Life? Death?Nothing Everything? 你会写些什么？爱情？仇恨？乐趣？痛苦？生命？死亡？虚无空空抑或世事万种？ Would you write to please just yourself? Or others? Or yourself by writing for others? 是会用来自娱？还是取悦他人？还是为人写作而愉悦自身？ Would your strokes be trembli

7、ngly timid or brilliantly bold? Fancy with a flourish or plain? 你的一笔一划会颤抖怯懦还是亮丽大胆？花里胡哨还是朴实无华？ Would you even write? Once you have the pen, no rule says you have to write. Would you sketch? Scribble? Doodle or draw? 你确实会去写吗？你一旦有了这枝笔，却也没有规则说你一定就要去写。你会粗粗写来？潦潦草草？信手涂鸦？还是认真描画？ Would you stay in or on the

8、lines, or see no lines at all, even if they were there? Or are they? Theres a lot to think about here, isnt there? 你会写在线里还是写在线上，或者对纸上的线格根本就视而不见？真的有什么线格吗？此时此刻，有很多东西值得思考，不是吗？美文阅读2 True Nobility 真正的高贵In a calm sea every man is a pilot.在风平浪静的大海上,每个人都是领航员。But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure with

9、out pain, is not life at all.Take the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled yarn.Bereavements and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorr

10、ow and loss. 但只有阳光没有阴影,只有快乐没有痛苦,根本不是真正的生活.就拿最幸福的人来说,他的生活也是一团缠结在一起的乱麻。痛苦与幸福交替出现,使得我们一会悲伤一会高兴。甚至死亡本身都使得生命更加可爱。在人生清醒的时刻,在悲伤与失落的阴影之下,人们与真实的自我最为接近。 In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control,

11、patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment. 在生活和事业的种种事务之中，性格比才智更能指导我们，心灵比头脑更能引导我们，而由判断获得的克制、耐心和教养比天分更能让我们受益。 I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world

12、how few the real wants of humanity are. 我一向认为，内心生活开始更为严谨的人，他的外在生活也会变得更为简朴。在物欲横流的年代，但愿我能向世人表明：人类的真正需求少得多么可怜。 To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance.There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your prev

13、ious self. 反思自己的过错不至于重蹈覆辙才是真正的悔悟。高人一等并没有什么值得夸耀的。真正的高贵是优于过去的自已。美文阅读3 所有事皆需全力以赴The master of a single trade can support a family. The master of seven trades cannot support himself。专心致志，锲而不舍，埃及平原上终于建起了宏伟的金字塔。 精通一行的人可以养家糊口，样样精通的人却不能养活自己。Now I know that in order to grow and flourish I must spare no effor

14、ts in doing things and keep a little in advance of the times. Those who reach the top are the ones who are not content with doing only what are required of them. They do more. They go the extra mile. And another。现在我知道，为了辉煌的成就，我必须全力以赴，必须永远走在时间前面。那些顶 尖人物都不会只满足分内的工作，他们比常人做得更多，走得更远。I will spare no effor

15、ts in doing things。凡事我都将全力以赴。Now I know that I cannot pursue a worthy goal, steadily and persistently, with all the powers of my mind and yet fail. If I focus the rays of sun with a burning glass, even in the coldest days of winter, I can kindle a fire with ease.现在我知道，只要我一心一意向一个有价值的目标稳步前行，坚持不懈，就一定不会

16、失败。如果我用取火镜聚集太阳光，即使在最寒冷的冬天，我也可以轻松燃起火来。I will spare no efforts in doing things。凡事我都将全力以赴。The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything。最弱小的人，只要集中力量

17、于一点，也能得到好的结果；相反，最强大的人，如果把力量分散在许多杂务上，也会一事无成。Drops of water, by continually falling, hone their passage through the hardest of rocks but the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar and leaves no trace24 behind. I will leave my trace. The world will know I have been here。小小水滴，持之以恒，也能将最坚硬的岩石穿透；

18、相反，湍流呼啸而过，却了无踪 迹。我将留下我的踪迹，让世人知道我曾来过。I will spare no efforts in doing things。凡事我都将全力以赴。美文阅读4至少要平静Keep calm at leastWhen you had fallen to the bottom of your life, every people around you would tell you: Be hard-bitten and be happy!在你跌入人生谷底的时候，你身旁所有的人都告诉你：要坚强，而且要快乐。To be hard-bitten would be necessary

19、, but be happy? Even in that serious occation? That would be hard for you, after all, who could keep happy while he were head-broken and bleeding.坚强是绝对需要的，但是快乐?在这种情形下，恐怕是太为难你了。毕竟，谁能在跌得头破血流的时候还觉得高兴？But you should at least keep calm, calmly facing and calmly treating.但是至少可以做到平静。平静地看待这件事，平静地把其他该处理的事处理好。If you have obtained the calmness, without happy and without unhappy, you then have possessed the power for rebirth.平静，没有快乐，也没有不快乐。能做到这一点，你就已经有了复元的能量。
