threedaystosee中英文对照
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of "Eat, drink, and be merry," but most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.
在故事里，注定要死的主人公往往在最后一刻由某 种命运的突变而得救，但几乎总是他的价值观被 改变了。他们对生活的意义和它永恒的精神价值 变得更具欣赏力了。常常看到那些生活或已生活 在死亡的阴影之中的人们都赋予他们所做的每件 事以芳醇甜美。
Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.

Three days to seeI have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.我经常想，倘若每一个人在他早期成年生活中，有几天看不见和听不见，那将会是一件幸事。
暗无天日会使他更感到视力的可贵，寂寥无声会使他懂得听到声音的快乐。
If, by some miracle, I were granted three seeing days, to be followed by a relapse into darkness, I should divide the period into three parts.如果，由于某种奇迹，我被赋予三天能看见东西的日子，然后在沉陷到黑暗之中，我将把这段时间分为三部分来用。
The First DayOn the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my dear teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me. I should want not merely to see the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education. I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.第一天，我要去看看那些人们，他们的善良、和蔼和友爱使我感到我活得还有价值。
three days to see课文翻译 总结
three days to see课文翻译总结海伦·凯勒自幼就又盲又聋，在老师的帮助下成为一名成功的讲师、作家及教育家。
在这篇文章里，海伦·凯勒讨论了人们应该怎样珍惜自己的视觉能力我们大家都读过这样一些惊心动魄的故事，故事中的主人公能活的时间有限而具体，或长达一年，或短至24小时。
但是我们总是感兴趣的是，行将死亡的人究竟愿意怎样度过他的最后时光。
当然，我说的是能进行选择的自由人，而不是活动范围受到严格限制的囚犯。
这些故事启迪我们思考，诱发我们想象，当我们处于此类情况时，该怎么做呢？作为常人，我们在最后的时刻会急于想干些什么，体验些什么，联想些什么呢？回首往事时，我们又能领略到何种快慰，何种悔恨呢？有时我想，如果我们度过每一天时都假定明天即将去世，这会是个极好的准则。
这样的处世态度会强烈地突出生命的价值。
我们会亲切地、朝气蓬勃地、感受强烈地来度过每一天，而这一切却往往在日复一日延续的时光与岁月之中消失。
当然，有些人会奉行享乐主义“吃喝玩乐”的信条，但是大多数人则会因死亡就在眼前而心灵得到净化。
在故事中，那死神呼唤的主人公通常在最后时刻交上好运而获得拯救，但他的价值观几乎总是发生了变化。
他更加珍视生命的意义及其永恒而神圣的价值。
人们常常注意到，那些生活在或者曾经生活在死亡的阴影下的人，对他们所做的每一件事都赋予甜美的色彩。
然而，我们中间大多数人则把生命视为理所当然。
我们知道，总有一天我们会死去，但通常我们又把那一天想象为遥远的未来。
当我们身体健康时，死亡是件难以想象的事，我们几乎不会想到它。
岁月无穷，因此我们忙于种种琐事，几乎意识不到我们漠然的生活态度。
我们在使用感觉功能时，恐怕也持同样的冷漠态度。
只有聋者才知道听觉的重要，只有盲人才理解视觉给人带来的各种恩赐。
这一观点特别适用于那些在成年后才丧失视觉和听觉的人。
而那些视觉和听觉从未受到损害的人，则很少充分利用这些神圣的官能。
他们的眼睛和耳朵模糊地、漫不经心地、不加欣赏地纳入所有的景象和声音。

In the following essay, she discussed how people should value their ability to see.All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live.

three days to see阅读报告
A Book Report of Three Days to SeeThree days to see is the most famous represent essay written by Helen Keller. My life story, a part of this book, is the autographical works of Helen. It is known as the incomparable work in the history of the world literature.Helen Keller born in 1880s was an American author, activist and lecturer. She was the first deaf-blind graduate of Radcliffe College. Later, she became a high-profile socialist, and throughout her life she was a strong advocate for the blind and deaf communities, visiting over thirty-five countries and publishing fourteen books about her experiences, which have been translated into more than fifty languages.At the first page of this book, there are some printed words in raised letters. Above these words, there is a sentence, “please close your eyes, touching these words slightly by your fingers. This is the world of Helen Keller.”T his attracts me deeply. I think it is very interesting so I do as I am told. I find that it is hard for me to understand it without see it. I can hardly image how Helen tells from these words. I begin to like this woman and want to know her life story urgently. Actually, as a child who turned to be deaf and blind when she was one and a half years old, Helen could speak five kinds of languages. She wrote the book when she was a sophomore and wrote the other fourteen works in the next sixty years. There is no excuse for us normal people to be not admiring her.It seems that there are so many people who benefitsHelen a lot. The first important person is her mother. When Helen cannot see or hear because of the acute congestion of the stomach and brain. Her mother never tells her that she is different from the other children. She tries her best to make Helen understand things she indicates. In this book, Helen says, “indeed, I owe to her loving wisdom all that was bright and good in my long night.”T he second and the most important person in Helen’s life is her teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan. Miss Sullivan teaches her not only the knowledge, but also the meaning of life. She leads Helen to be a strong girl. Although Helen sometimes will be impatient at the study, she always tries to make her proceed. She has never since let pass an opportunity to point out the beauty that is in everything, nor has she ceased trying in thought and action and example to make Helen’s life sweet and useful. It seems that most of the people around Helen are kind. No matter they love Helentruly or they just want to show their sympathy to her, they all help Helen with her study and life. These make Helen’s life more happy and meaningful.Above all, the most important factor for Helen’s success is her brave, kindness, perseverance and her desire to advance. Although since she was a child, she was only guided by sense of smell, she never gave up. When she was in college, very few of the books required in the various courses are printed for the blind, so consequently she need more time to prepare her lessons than other girls. She always saw other girls laughing and singing and dancing while she spent hours reading a few chapters. For Helen, every struggle is a victory. As the saying goes, “knowledge is love and lightand vision.”Helen had a strong desire to advance. She studied more than ten hours a day. With her brave and perseverance, she gained lots of knowledge and learned English, French, German, Latin and Greece. She is one of the strongest men in the world.In fact, I have learned a lot from this book. When I read this book, I am shocked by Helen, for she can write such a good book, for she have learned so many language, for she can even speak, and so on. As a deaf-blind person, she shows us a magic. I wonder how brave and perseverance can she be to have made such an achievement. She sets an example for me in study and life. It seems that nowadays, only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. We normal human have not cherished things we own. Helen says in this book, “I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight. Silence would teach him the joys of sound.”W hen I read these sentences, I begin to introspect myself.Seldom have I observe things clearly. I am always busy studying and working, so I have not thought about things I have. All I have done before is to catch after things I do not have. It seems that I should stay here and learn to cherish. Helen uses her own experience to remind us to be strong, perseverance and cherish our time, love and life.On the other hand, the only question which bothers me a lot is that although Helen cannot see anything, she describes things with color. In this book, she says, “When the ground was strewn with the crimson and golden leaves of autumn, and the musk-scented grapes that covered the arbour at the end of the garden were turning golden brown in the sunshine.”When I read these sentences, I get confused. How does she know the color of them? But as soon as I finish reading, I find the answer. There are two possibilities. Maybe it is told by Sullivan or maybe it comes from Helen’s knowledge. For she has read lots of books, she knows how to describe the beautiful scene. This is the power of knowledge.This story can interest many people because it will never be ended. Once be known, we will never forget the beauty of human spirit. Helen gives a lesson to us who have little difficulty to overcome. All in all, this book is worth reading.。

Three Days to See假如给我三天光明1 I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.我常常思忖，如果每个人在青年时期都有一段时间看不见、听不见，那会是一件幸运的事情，因为黑暗会使人更加珍惜视力，静默能教会人享受声音的美妙。
2 Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently, I asked a friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods what she had observed. “Nothing in particular,”she replied.我时常询问我那些看得见的朋友们，想了解他们看到了什么。
最近，我问一个从林子里散步了许久回来的朋友观察到了什么，她答道：“没什么特别的。
”3 How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes, say for just three days.我问自己，在林子里散步一小时之久却没有看到任何值得注意的东西，这怎么可能呢？我一个看不见的人，仅仅通过触觉，就能发现成百上千件引起我兴趣的东西。
Three-Days-to-See-中英文
ahead. You would use your eyes as never before. Everything you saw would become dear to you. Your eyes would touch and embrace every object that came within your range of vision. Then, at last, you would really see, and a new world of beauty would open itself before you.51. I who am blind can give one hint to those who see -- one admonition to those who would make full use of the gift of sight: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses. Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. Make the most of every sense: glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you through the several means of contact which Nature provides. But of all the senses, I am sure that sight must be the most delightful.。

三天后见面(ThreeDaystoSee)_考研英语作文
三天后见面(ThreeDaystoSee)_考研英语作文三天后见面Three Days to SeeThree days later, finally, I had the chance to meet her in person. After countless hours on the phone, exchanging messages and photos, we were about to come face to face. Excitement, nervousness, and anticipation all filled my heart as I prepared for our long-awaited meeting. Three days seemed like an eternity, but at last, the time had come.As the day approached, I found myself reflecting on the concept of sight and its significance in our lives. Helen Keller, a great American author and activist who was both deaf and blind, once wrote an essay called "Three Days to See" in which she mused about what she would do if given the gift of sight for only three days. Inspired by her words, I couldn't help but wonder how much I took my own sense of sight for granted and what it would be like to truly appreciate the world around me.On the first day of our meeting, I decided to embark on a journey of exploration, to see the beauty and wonder that our world had to offer. I wanted to immerse myself in the sights that I had previously overlooked. The vibrant colors of blooming flowers, the intricate details of a piece of art, and the breathtaking landscapes that surrounded us became sources of awe and inspiration. I realized that by opening my eyes to the world, I was also opening my mind to new possibilities and experiences.The second day brought a deeper appreciation for the people in my life. I noticed the subtle expressions on their faces, the twinkle in their eyes, andthe warmth of their smiles. It was as if I could see their souls shining through. The power of nonverbal communication became evident, and I found myself listening more intently to the voices of others, not just their words, but the emotions and stories behind them. I felt a deeper sense of connection and empathy, realizing that sometimes, sight can hinder our ability to truly see and understand one another.On the final day, having absorbed so much beauty and human connection, I decided to use my newfound gift of sight for a greater purpose.I visited a local charity and witnessed firsthand the hardships faced by those less fortunate. I saw the pain, but also the resilience and hope in their eyes. This experience awakened a sense of responsibility within me, igniting a desire to make a positive difference in the world. Sight became not just a personal gift, but a powerful tool to shed light on social issues and inspire change.Reflecting on these three days, I realized that sight alone is not enough to truly see and appreciate the world. It is our perspective, our willingness to be present in the moment, and our ability to empathize with others that allow us to fully experience life. The gift of sight should not be taken for granted, but rather cherished as a gateway to a deeper understanding and connection with the world around us.As I finally met her, I looked into her eyes and saw not only her physical appearance, but also the countless emotions, experiences, and stories that had shaped her into who she was. In that moment, I understood the power of sight, not just in observing the world, but in truly seeing and understandingthe people in it. Three days may have been all it took for me to appreciate the gift of sight, but the lessons learned will stay with me forever.。

This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, t he unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerails are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.·第二篇： Three Days to See(Excerpts)假如给我三天光明（节选）Three Days to SeeAll of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets?Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry”. But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make thefullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.·第三篇：Companionship of Books 以书为伴（节选）Companionship of BooksA man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive e but what is really good.Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes whichthey describe.The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.·第四篇：If I Rest,I Rust 如果我休息，我就会生锈If I Rest, I RustThe significant inscription found on an old key---“If I rest, I rust”---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.·第五篇：Ambition 抱负AmbitionIt is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: with out demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity. Competition would never enter in. conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.Ah, how unrelieved boring life would be!There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events now not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on one’s own. But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity.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.·第六篇：What I have Lived for 我为何而生What I Have Lived ForThree passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at last---I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always it brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.·第七篇：When Love Beckons You 爱的召唤When Love Beckons YouWhen love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.But if, in your fear, you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires:To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.To know the pain of too much tenderness.To be wounded by your own understanding of love;And to bleed willingly and joyfully.To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;To return home at eventide with gratitude;And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.·第八篇：The Road to Success 成功之道The Road to SuccessIt is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is “aim high”. I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, “My place is at the top.” Be king in your dreams.And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong. I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indo rse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm’s interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggsin one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says, “n o one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves.”·第九篇：On Meeting the Celebrated 论见名人On Meeting the CelebratedI have always wondered at the passion many people have to meet the celebrated. The prestige you acquire by being able to tell your friends that you know famous men proves only that you are yourself of small account. The celebrated develop a technique to deal with the persons they come across. They show the world a mask, often an impressive on, but take care to conceal their real selves. They play the part that is expected from them, and with practice learn to play it very well, but you are stupid if you think that this public performance of theirs corresponds with the man within.I have been attached, deeply attached, to a few people; but I have been interested in men in general not for their own sakes, but for the sake of my work. I have not, as Kant enjoined, regarded each man as an end in himself, but as material that might be useful to me as a writer. I have been more concerned with the obscure than with the famous. They are more often themselves. They have had no need to create a figure to protect themselves from the world or to impress it. Their idiosyncrasies have had more chance to develop in the limited circle of their activity, and since they have never been in the public eye it has never occurred to them that they have anything to conceal. They display their oddities because it has never struck them that they are odd. And after all it is with the common run of men that we writers have to deal; kings, dictators, commercial magnates are from our point of view very unsatisfactory. To write about them is a venture that has often tempted writers, but the failure that has attended their efforts shows that such beings are too exceptional to form a proper ground for a work of art. They cannot be made real. The ordinary is the writer’s richer field. Its unexpectedness, its singularity, its infinite variety afford unending material. The great man is too often all of a piece; it is the little man that is a bundle of contradictory elements. He is inexhaustible. You never come to the end of the surprises he has in store for you. For my part I would much sooner spend a month on a desert island with a veterinary surgeon than with a prime minister.·第十篇：The 50-Percent Theory of Life 生活理论半对半The 50-Percent Theory of LifeI believe in the 50-percent theory. Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they re worse. I believe life is a pendulum swing. It takes time and experience to understand what normal is, and that gives me the perspective to deal with the surprises of the future.Let’s benchmark the parameters: yes, I will die. I’ve dealt with the deaths of both parents, a best friend, a beloved boss and cherished pets. Some of these deaths have been violent, before my eyes, or slow and agonizing. Bad stuff, and it belongs at the bottom of the scale.Then there are those high points: romance and marriage to the right person; having a child and doing those Dad things like coaching my son’s baseball team, paddling around the creek in the boat while he’s swimming with the dogs, discovering his compassion so deep it manifests even in his kindness to snails, his imagination so vivid he builds a spaceship from a scattered pile of Legos.But there is a vast meadow of life in the middle, where the bad and the good flip-flop acrobatically. This is what convinces me to believe in the 50-percent theory.One spring I planted corn too early in a bottomland so flood-prone that neighbors laughed. I felt chagrined at the wasted effort. Summer turned brutal---the worst heat wave and drought in my lifetime. The air-conditioned died; the well went dry; the marriage ended; the job lost; the money gone. I was living lyrics from a country tune---music I loathed. Only a surging Kansas City Royals team buoyed my spirits.Looking back on that horrible summer, I soon understood that all succeeding good things merely offset the bad. Worse than normal wouldn’t last long. I am owed and savor the halcyon times. The reinvigorate me for the next nasty surprise and offer assurance that can thrive. The 50-percent theory even helps me see hope beyond my Royals’ recent slump, a field of struggling rookies sown so that some year soon we can reap an October harvest.For that one blistering summer, the ground moisture was just right, planting early allowed pollination before heat withered the tops, and the lack of rain spared the standing corn from floods. That winter my crib overflowed with corn---fat, healthy three-to-a-stalk ears filledwith kernels from heel to tip---while my neighbors’ fields yielded only brown, empty husks.Although plantings past may have fallen below the 50-percent expectation, and they probably will again in the future, I am still sustained by the crop that flourishes during the drought.·第十一篇：What is Your Recovery Rate? 你的恢复速率是多少？What is Your Recovery Rate?What is your recovery rate? How long does it take you to recover from actions and behaviors that upset you? Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? The longer it takes you to recover, the more influence that incident has on your actions, and the less able you are to perform to your personal best. In a nutshell, the longer it takes you to recover, the weaker you are and the poorer your performance.You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body fit and, no doubt, accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed in which your heart and respiratory system recovers after exercise. Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you, the faster you return to an equilibrium, the healthier you will be. The best example of this behavior is found with professional sportspeople. They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missd opportunity and get on with the game, the better their performance. In fact, most measure the time it takes them to overcome and forget an incident in a game and most reckon a recovery rate of 30 seconds is too long!Imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage. Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability. You have been given a script and at the end of each sentence is a ful stop. Each time you get to the end of the sentence you start a new one and although the next sentence is related to the last it is not affected by it. Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability.Don’t live your life in the past! Learn to live in the present, to overcome the past. Stop the past from influencing your daily life. Don’t allow thoughts of the past to reduce your personal best. Stop the past from interfering with your life. Learn to recover quickly.Remember: Rome wasn’t built in a day. Reflect on your recovery rate each day. Every day before you go to bed, look at your progress. Don’t lie in bed saying to you, “I did that wrong.” “I should have done better there.” No. look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop after an incident. This is a success. You are taking control of your life. Remember this is a step by step process. This is not a make-over. You are undertaking real change here. Your aim: reduce the time spent in recovery.The way forward?Live in the present. Not in the precedent.·第十二篇：Clear Your Mental Space 清理心灵的空间Clear Your Mental SpaceThink about the last time you felt a negative emotion---like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or f rustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute---but only one minute---to do nothing else but feel that emotion.When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I wiling to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the da y?”Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really fell it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.This exercise seems simple---almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in theemotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens. Keep a piece of paper with you that says the following:Stop. Immerse for one minute. Do I want to keep this negativity? Breath deep, exhale, release. Move on!This will remind you of the steps to the process. Remember; take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion. Then, when you feel you’ve felt it enough, release it---really let go of it. You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!。
Three days to see(中文版)
我们大家都读过一些令人激动的故事，这些故事里的主人公仅仅活在有限并且特定的时间内，有时长达一年，有时短到２４小时。
但我们总是有兴趣发现，那命中注定要死的是那些有选择自由的人，而不是那些活动范围被严格限定了的判了刑的犯人。
这样的故事让我们思考，在相似的情况下，我们该怎么办，作为终有一死的人，在那最终的几个小时内安排什么事件，什么经历，什么交往？在回顾往事时，我们该找到什么快乐？什么悔恨？有时我想到，过好每一天是个非常好的习惯，似乎我们明天就会死去。
这种态度鲜明地强调了生命的价值。
我们应该以优雅、精力充沛、善知乐趣的方式过好每一天。
而当岁月推移，在经常瞻观未来之时日、未来之年月中，这些又常常失去。
当然，也有人愿按伊壁鸠鲁的信条“吃、喝和欢乐”去生活。
（译注：伊壁鸠鲁是古希腊哲学家，他认为生活的主题目的是享乐，而最高的享受唯通过合理的生活，如自我控制才能得到。
因为生活享受的目的被过分强调，而达此目的之手段被忽视，所以伊壁鸠鲁的信徒现今变为追求享乐的人。
他们的信条是：“让我们吃喝，因为明天我们就死亡”），但绝大多数人还是被即将面临死亡的必然性所折磨。
在故事里，注定要死的主人公往往在最后一刻由某种命运的突变而得救，但几乎总是他的价值观被改变了。
他们对生活的意义和它永恒的精神价值变得更具欣赏力了。
常常看到那些生活或已生活在死亡的阴影之中的人们都赋予他们所做的每件事以芳醇甜美。
但是，我们大多数人把生活认为是理所当然的。
我们知道，某一天我们一定会死，但通常我们把那天想象在遥远的将来。
当我们心宽体健时，死亡几乎是不可想象的，我们很少想到它。
时日在无穷的展望中延展着，于是我们干着琐碎的事情，几乎意识不到我们对生活的倦怠态度。
恐怕，同倦的懒散也成为利用我们所有的本能和感觉的特点。
只有聋子才珍惜听力，唯有瞎子才体会到能看见事物的种种幸福，这种结论特别适合于那些在成年阶段失去视力和听力的人们，而那些从没有遭受视觉或听觉损伤之苦的人却很少充分利用这些天赐的官能。
ThreeDaystoSee（Excerpts）假如给我三天光明
天光明（节选）·第二篇：ThreeDays to See(Excerpts)假如给我三ThreeDays to SeeAll of us have read thrilling stories in whichthe hero had only a limit ed and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, somet imes as shortas 24 hours. But always we were interestedin discovering just how the doomed hero choseto spendhis last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activitiesis strictly delimited.Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do undersimilar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowdinto thoselast hoursas mortal beings, what regrets?Sometimes I have thought it wouldbe an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude wouldemphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation whichare oftenlost when time stret ches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and yearsto come. Thereare those, of course, who wouldadoptthe Epicurean mottoof “Eat, drink, and be merry”. But most peoplewouldbe chastened by the certainty of impending death.In stories the doomed hero is usually savedat the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has oftenbeen notedthat thosewho live, or have lived, in the shadow of deathbring a mellow sweetness to everythingthey do.Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, deathis all but unimaginable. We seldom thinkof it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our pettytasks, hardly awareof our listless attitude toward life.The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our facul ties and senses. Only the deaf appreciatehearing, only the blindreali ze the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this obser vation applyto thosewho have lost sightand hearing in adultlife. But those who have never suffered impairmentof sightor hearing seldom make the fullest use of theseblessed faculties. Theireyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentrationand with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not beinggrate ful for what we have untilwe lose it, of not beingconscious of health untilwe are ill.I have oftenthought it wouldbe a blessing if each humanbeingwere stricken blindand deaf for a few days at some time during his early adultlife.

三天后见面(Three Days
to See)
Suppose you set your mind to work on the problem of how you would use your own eyes if you had three more days to see. If with the oncoming darkness of the third night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again, how would you spend those three precious intervening days? What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon?
I, naturally, should want most to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of darkness. You, too, would want to let your eyes rest long on the things that have become dear to you so that you could take the memory of them with you in the night that loomed before should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and
companionship have made my life worth living. First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me.
I should want not merely the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education. I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.
Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!。
