【英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作】奧巴馬寫(xiě)給女兒的家書(shū)（上）。今天給大家分享的是美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)奧巴馬寫(xiě)給女兒的信，也是一封細(xì)致入微的家書(shū)。
每一條建議都可以做得到，每一條都有益，行文的語(yǔ)氣沒(méi)有作為父親或者總統(tǒng)的諄諄教導(dǎo)，從“懷疑自己”到“浪費(fèi)時(shí)間”，奧巴馬都說(shuō)得貼切，自然，優(yōu)美。

希望能夠?qū)δ阌兴砸妗?/p>Life is short. It may feel like it takes　forever sometimes, but the reality is that you live, and a short time later, you die. It happens so quickly, many people don’t even realize they had a life until it’s already over.


生命如此短暫。我們有時(shí)候覺(jué)得生命怎么也走不完，實(shí)際上，你現(xiàn)在活著，過(guò)不了多久，就會(huì)死去。人生真是轉(zhuǎn)眼一瞬間的事情，很多人到臨死前才意識(shí)到這一生已經(jīng)結(jié)束。

1
停止懷疑自己
Stop Doubting Yourself

If you don't believe in yourself, nobody will. Success starts in your mind, and if all you're doing is putting yourself down and predicting failure, it'll become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead of doubting yourself, think positively. Not only will you be happier and more successful, you'll spread it to everyone around you.

如果你自己都不相信自己，那沒(méi)人會(huì)相信你。成功源于你的頭腦，如果你所做的是不斷地看扁自己，預(yù)言著未來(lái)的失敗，這就真的會(huì)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。與其懷疑自己，不如積極的考慮問(wèn)題。不僅會(huì)讓自己更加開(kāi)心和成功，你還能夠感染到周圍的人。

2
停止消極
Stop Being Negative

Now that you're done doubting yourself, stop doubting others. You don't like when people are critical of you, so stop being critical of others. Think about how you make other people feel – even if you have good intentions, people don't like hearing negativity.

現(xiàn)在你不要再懷疑自己了，也別再懷疑身邊的人。你不希望被人對(duì)你挑剔，那么也不要再去挑剔身邊的人。想想你給別人帶來(lái)的什么樣的感受吧——即使出發(fā)點(diǎn)是好的，別人也不想聽(tīng)到那么多消極的事情呀。


3
停止拖延
Stop Procrastinating

I don't feel like procrastinating right now – I'll do it tomorrow. When you procrastinate, you remain stagnant. Whatever you're putting off doesn't go away; resolve the problem, and move on. You'll be much happier in the long run.

我現(xiàn)在不想做，還是留到明天吧。一旦開(kāi)始拖延，其實(shí)你已經(jīng)停滯不前了。你拖延的事情不會(huì)自行解決。解決問(wèn)題，繼續(xù)前行吧。從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)角度來(lái)說(shuō)你會(huì)更加快樂(lè)。


4
不要那么刻薄
Stop Being Mean

It's completely possible to step on someone's toes without meaning to – it happens all the time. There's no need to pile on by purposefully doing mean things, so make a conscious effort to stop being mean. If someone wrongs you, let it go. There's no need to seek vengeance unless that's the type of person you want to be.

無(wú)意踩到別人的情況真的有可能會(huì)發(fā)生——常常會(huì)發(fā)生。但沒(méi)必要去處心積慮地做一些不好的事情，所以要有意識(shí)地讓自己不要那么刻薄。如果有人對(duì)你無(wú)理地對(duì)待，隨他們?nèi)ズ昧?。沒(méi)必要去報(bào)復(fù)，除非你也想成為那一類的人。

5
停止軟弱

Stop Being a Pushover

We live in a capitalistic society in which everyone’s trying to sell us something. Everyone’s looking out for themselves in one way or another, and you need to do the same. Stop putting yourself out because you’re too shy to say no.

我們處于一個(gè)資本主義社會(huì)，每個(gè)人都在試圖向我們推銷些什么。每個(gè)人都在用不同的方式關(guān)注自己，你也要這樣做。別因?yàn)樘π?、不敢說(shuō)“不”而任人擺布。

以上就是【英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作】奧巴馬寫(xiě)給女兒的家書(shū)（上）的所有內(nèi)容，希望對(duì)大家有幫助！現(xiàn)在國(guó)內(nèi)越來(lái)越重視英語(yǔ)了，掌握一手好英語(yǔ)，不僅對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)和工作都有很大的幫助。

在這里我分享一節(jié)免費(fèi)的試聽(tīng)課：【http://m.jidu95.com/daily/?qd=king】 跟歐美外教一對(duì)一學(xué)習(xí)，快速提高英語(yǔ)能力！
