【每日英语美文】 抱负 Ambition-part.3完结
We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.
每个年轻人都有自己的梦想,我们的动力在哪里?我们努力方向在什么地方?或许读过这片文章,会给你些许的思路。大家加油!
中文翻译:
我们无法选择的。我们无法选择我们的父母。我们无法选择的历史时期,我们出生的国家,或是成长的周遭环境。我们不这样做,对大多数人来说,选择死亡,无法选择的时间或条件,我们的死亡。但是在这些无法选择之中,我们的确可以选择自己的生活方式:是勇敢无畏还是胆小怯懦,是光明磊落还是厚颜无耻,是目标坚定还是随波逐流。我们决定什么是重要的,什么是生活中微不足道。我们决定什么使我们显着的,不是我们做的,就是我们拒绝做些什么。但无论怎样漠不关心宇宙可能是我们的选择和决定,这些选择和决定都是我们自己做。我们决定。我们选择。而当我们决定和选择时,我们的生活形成。最终构筑我们命运的就是抱负之所在。
