精美英文欣赏:真实的渴望

Your Quiet Hunger

There lies in the heart of every man and woman a quiet hunger:a longing¹ for an earth shaking significance. It can be heard in the quiet, most unedited times like when our head hits the pillow at night. As the pressures of the day fade away the voice catches our attention: "I was meant for more than this, there has got to be something more."

Many people have learned to accept a life of quiet resignation, committed to maintaining the status-quo. But still, in the times we least expect it, we hear that distant call again: a call for meaning, purpose, passion, significance. It continues to haunt us, to stalk us, and as we try to silence it with reason and maturity² we find that indeed, it is a fire within our bones and it will not yield.

Our suspicions are correct. There is a larger story and we have a role to play in it. It has been said that what a man does during his life shall echo throughout eternity³.

If you are ready to find your purpose, find the voice. Go back to the places that you have heard it most clear. For some it comes in the early morning, before the cares of the day have drowned them out. For others it comes through music, or movies, or books, or it is found on a walk through the woods or on the side of a mountain.

This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. Find the voice again and listen, allow it to stir you up again, and then begin to move in the direction it calls.

真实的渴望

在我们每个人心中都深藏着一份无声而真实的渴望:一种创造辉煌人生的渴望. 这种渴望有时会在不经意的安静时刻, 比如当我们在夜晚将头靠落有枕头上时听到. 当一天 的压力逐渐退去, 有种声音会震撼我们的灵魂: "生活不仅仅是这样, 我的人生可以更灿烂. "

很多人已经接受了一种放弃追求梦想的生活, 只安于现状. 但是有时候就在我们 最不经意的一霎那,我们会再次听到那遥远的呼唤:呼唤着一种充实,有内涵,富有激情和 意义的生活.这种呼唤会一直回荡在我们耳边,缠绕着我们,即使我们试图用理智和成熟去沉默它,我们却发现实事上它是我们内心骨子里的一团火焰,永远不会熄灭.

我们的直觉是正确的.有一个绚烂的人生故事,而我们就是这个故事的主角.有 这样一句话:一个人的一生荡气回肠,永不朽.

如果你已经准备好去发现你人生的目的, 去倾听那个声音吧. 回到那个你最能清 晰触摸到你内心深处的地方. 对某些人来说, 这个声音会在清晨, 开始一天的繁忙之前出现. 而对某些人,它会在听音乐,看电影或读书时显现,也或者当你在林间或山岗散步时听到这 种呼唤.

这里是 Faith 主持的 Faith 轻松电台.再一次找到这个声音并聆听,它会再次激 励你朝着梦想的方向努力前进.
