2015年考研英语二新题型 Part B 原文翻译及答案

Unfortunately, life is not a bed of roses. We are going through life facing sad experiences. Moreover, we are grieving various kinds of loss: a friendship, a romantic relationship or a house. Hard times may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time, but you should remember that they won't last forever.

不幸的是，生活并非一帆风顺。我们在生活中经历着悲伤的时刻。此外，我们为各种失去而悲伤：一段友谊、一段浪漫关系或一栋房子。困难时期可能在通常看似最不合时宜的时候压垮你，但你应该记住，它们不会永远持续。

When our time of mourning is over, we press forward, stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life. Furthermore, these losses make us mature and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. I want to share these old truths I've learned along the way.

当我们的哀悼期结束时，我们向前迈进，变得更强大，对生活有了更深的理解和尊重。此外，这些失去使我们成熟，并最终推动我们走向未来成长和幸福的机会。我想分享这些我在途中领悟到的古老真理。

Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor Will Smith once said, “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.” I do completely agree that fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.

恐惧既有用又有害。这种正常的人类反应通过发出危险信号并准备应对来保护我们。不幸的是，人们通过夸大恐惧制造了内心障碍。我最喜欢的演员威尔·史密斯曾说过：“恐惧不是真实的。它是你创造的思维产物。别误会我。危险是真实的。但恐惧是一种选择。”我完全同意恐惧只是我们丰富想象力的产物。

If you are surrounded by problems and cannot stop thinking about the past, try to focus on the present moment. Many of us are weighed down by the past or anxious about the future. You may feel guilt over your past, but you are poisoning the present with the things and circumstances you cannot change. Value the present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive. Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you. Happiness is not a point of future and not a moment from the past, but a mindset that can be designed into the present.

如果你被问题包围，无法停止回想过去，试着专注于当下。我们许多人被过去所累或对未来感到焦虑。你可能对过去感到内疚，但你正在用无法改变的事情和环境毒害现在。珍惜当下，记住你是多么幸运能活着。享受周围世界的美丽，保持开放的心态，看到面前的机会。幸福不是未来的某个点，也不是过去的某个时刻，而是一种可以融入当下的心态。

Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.

有时很容易感到难过，因为你正在经历艰难时期。你可能轻易陷入生活问题，以至于忘记停下来欣赏你所拥有的东西。只有坚强的人更喜欢微笑并珍惜生活，而不是哭泣和抱怨。

No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remember that you are not alone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life, especially your dearest and nearest people. You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor, help and companionship. If you have no friends or relatives, try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.

无论你感到多么孤立，情况多么严重，你都应该记住，你并不孤单。试着记住，几乎每个人都尊重并愿意帮助你，如果你正努力在生活中做出积极的改变，尤其是你最亲近的人。你可能有一群朋友，他们提供持续的愉快情绪、帮助和陪伴。如果你没有朋友或亲戚，试着参与一些在线社区，那里充满了总是愿意分享建议和鼓励的人。

Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining objectivity from external sources. This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your own life. When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin, think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.

今天，许多人发现自己很难信任自己的观点，并通过从外部来源获得客观性来寻求平衡。这样做你会贬低自己的观点，并表明你无法管理自己的生活。当你为实现重要的事情而努力时，你应该相信自己，并确信你的决定是最好的。你活在自己的身体里，思考自己的想法，拥有自己的价值观，并做出自己的选择。
