英语美文-生活并非总是如你所愿

Life doesn't always give us the joys we want

生活中，总有些时刻不能如我们所愿。但唯有一种力量可以让我们得到持久而且平静的温暖，那就是爱。生活的中的爱，无处不在，这种爱，可以是雨过天晴后新鲜的空气，可以是来自家人的拥抱，可以是朋友的一声问候，可以是你早晨饥肠辘辘时一个热腾腾的包子。生活中，处处充满了爱的痕迹和爱的美丽。只要用心，即使生活里的小瑕疵和不如意，也不变成这幅画卷里美好的一笔。

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

生活并非总是如你所愿。

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

希望有时会落空，梦想有时会破灭，我们不能一切随心所愿。

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

You can find love in a smile or a helping¹ hand, in a thoughtful² gesture or a kind word.

一个微笑，一双援助之手，一个关心的举动，一句友善的话语，无不传达着爱。

It is all around, if you just look for it.

如果你有心去寻找，爱会无处不在。

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

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。

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