每天分享一篇中英雙語(yǔ)閱讀，對(duì)英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)的練習(xí)很有幫助，也是積累英語(yǔ)考試中寫(xiě)作，翻譯素材的好資料，加油吧!

"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”

“我們正在讀一本書(shū)的第一章第一行，這本書(shū)的頁(yè)數(shù)是無(wú)限的……”

I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.

我不知道是誰(shuí)寫(xiě)的，可我很喜歡這句話(huà)，它提醒我們未來(lái)是由自己創(chuàng)造的。我們可以把神秘、不可知的未來(lái)塑造成我們想象中的任何模樣，猶如雕刻家將未成形的石頭刻成雕像。

We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.

我們每個(gè)人都像是農(nóng)夫。灑下良種將有豐收，播下劣種或生滿(mǎn)野草便將毀去收成。沒(méi)有耕耘則會(huì)一無(wú)所獲。

I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.

我希望未來(lái)比過(guò)去更加美好，希望未來(lái)不會(huì)沾染歷史的錯(cuò)誤與過(guò)失。我們都應(yīng)舉目向前，因我們的余生要用未來(lái)書(shū)寫(xiě)。

The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

往昔已逝，靜如止水;我們無(wú)法再作改變。而前方的未來(lái)正生機(jī)勃勃;我們所做的每一件事都將會(huì)影響著它。只要我們認(rèn)識(shí)到這些，無(wú)論是在家中還是在工作上，每天我們的面前都會(huì)展現(xiàn)出新的天地。在人類(lèi)致力開(kāi)拓的每一片領(lǐng)域上，我們正站在進(jìn)步的起跑點(diǎn)。
