lethargy n. 昏睡,瞌睡,無(wú)力氣 The same lethargy,I am afraid,characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing,only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily,without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it,of not being conscious of health until we are ill. I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight;silence would teach him the joys of sound. 我擔(dān)心同樣的冷漠也存在于我們對(duì)自己官能和意識(shí)的運(yùn)用上。只有聾子才理解聽(tīng)力的重要，只有盲人才明白視覺(jué)的可貴，這尤其適用于那些成年后才失去視力或聽(tīng)力之苦的人很少充分利用這些寶貴的能力。他們的眼睛和耳朵模糊地感受著周?chē)木拔锱c聲音，心不在焉，也無(wú)所感激。這正好我們只有在失去后才懂得珍惜一樣，我們只有在生病后才意識(shí)到健康的可貴。 我經(jīng)常想，如果每個(gè)人在年輕的時(shí)候都有幾天失時(shí)失聰，也不失為一件幸事。黑暗將使他更加感激光明，寂靜將告訴他聲音的美妙。 這篇材料你能聽(tīng)出多少？點(diǎn)擊這里做聽(tīng)寫(xiě)，提高外語(yǔ)水平>>

Three Days to See假如擁有三天光明 Helen Keller/海倫.凱勒 Hints: 無(wú) Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the epicurean motto of "Eat, drink, and be merry," but most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death. 有時(shí)我想，把每天都當(dāng)作生命的最后一天來(lái)度過(guò)也不失為一個(gè)很好的生命法則。這種人生態(tài)度使人非常重視人生的價(jià)值。每一天我們都應(yīng)該以和善的態(tài)度、充沛的精力和熱情的欣賞來(lái)度過(guò)，而這些恰恰是在來(lái)日方長(zhǎng)時(shí)往往被我們忽視的東西。當(dāng)然，有這樣一些人奉行享樂(lè)主義的座右銘——吃喝玩樂(lè)，但是大多數(shù)人卻不能擺脫死亡來(lái)臨的恐懼。 這篇材料你能聽(tīng)出多少？點(diǎn)擊這里做聽(tīng)寫(xiě)，提高外語(yǔ)水平>>

Three Days to See假如擁有三天光明 Helen Keller/海倫.凱勒 Hints: 無(wú) All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours, but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited. Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets? 我們都讀過(guò)這樣一些動(dòng)人的故事，故事里主人公將不久于人世。長(zhǎng)則一年，短則２４小時(shí)。但是我們總是很想知道這個(gè)即將離開(kāi)人世的人是決定怎樣度過(guò)他最后的日子的。當(dāng)然， 我所假如擁有三天光明指的是有權(quán)做出選擇的自由人，不是那些活動(dòng)范圍受到嚴(yán)格限制的死囚。 這一類(lèi)故事會(huì)使我們思考在類(lèi)似的處境下，我們自己該做些什么？在那臨終前的幾個(gè)小時(shí)里我們會(huì)產(chǎn)生哪些聯(lián)想？會(huì)有多少欣慰和遺憾呢？ 這篇材料你能聽(tīng)出多少？點(diǎn)擊這里做聽(tīng)寫(xiě)，提高外語(yǔ)水平>>
