精美英文欣赏:永远别放弃希望

Life doesn't always give us the joys we want.

We don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way.

But don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.

Look for the beauty around you--in nature, in others, in yourself--and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind.

You can find love in a smile or a helping¹ hand, in a thoughtful² gesture or a kind word. It is all around, if you just look for it.

Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy, happiness, patience, and understanding.

Believe in the goodness³ of others and remember that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.

Even when you feel as though there isn't a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems, you can always do a little--and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference.

生活并非总是如你所愿。

希望有时会落空，梦想有时会破灭，我们不能一切随心所愿。

但别放弃希望，因为事物并非一成不变；不同时间，不同场合，你会呈现不同的面貌。

处处留心你身边的美吧－－自然中的，别人中的，你自己的－－请相信，美来自朋友、家庭乃至全人类的融融爱意。

一个微笑，援助之手，关心的举止，友善的世界，无不传达着爱。爱无所不在，如果你有寻找的话。

奉献爱心吧，从中你会发现生活的力量，感受生活带来的幸福快乐，学会忍耐和理解。

相信人性本善。记住，爱心和希望能化解一切愤怒和沮丧。

哪怕生活中挥之不去的不快和困难将你重重包围，让你力不从心，但你仍可以尽力而为。累积点滴努力，最终你将扭转乾坤。
