英语美文朗读 第314期 Nothing To Fear In Life

Life is not a ride in a wonder park, where thrills and challenges are there only to excite you without a real intention of defeating you. Life is more like an arena where you must fight to survive. You are either defeated or a victor.

 

在游乐园里，那些惊险和挑战不是为了打倒你，而是为了让你感到兴奋，但在生活中可不是这样。生活更像是一个竞技场，你要拼搏厮杀，才能生存。你要么赢得光鲜亮丽，要么输得头破血流。

 

What defines defeat is not being knocked down on the ground, but not having the will to stand back up, because if you're breathing, life still believes in you, and you still have a chance of standing back up again, and showing the people and circumstances that you are above and bigger than them. Everyone has their unique problems in their life, their own mountains to climb, a climb that never gets easier. It's you who gets used to them. Get used to the challenges and problems in your life and pick them out one by one.

什么是被打败？被打败，不是被打倒，而是没有站起来的勇气，因为如果你还活着，生活还是有希望的，你还有机会再次站起来，让世人知道，让你的苦难知道，你比他们更强大。每个人都有他们自己独特的问题，他们有自己的高峰要攀爬，这绝非易事。你，要适应这些。适应挑战，适应问题，一个个解决他们。

 

Fearing your problems is not a solution. It's an impulsive response that forbids you from challenging it due to the fear of defeat. What good is that saved sense of being undefeated when you haven't even tried to beat the biggest of your life's monsters? At times when you are struck by life's biggest challenges, you might ask yourself, why me? Why did life choose to hit me with the hardest punch? The answer that you should be giving yourself is that it's because you are the only one who can bear it and still survive. Not survive but thrive in this world.

恐惧问题，并能解决问题。恐惧，只是一种下意识的反应而已，它会让你因为害怕失败而不去挑战问题。如果你连尝试打败困难的勇气都没有，那么那种不被打败的感觉又有什么意义呢？有时候，你被眼前的巨大挑战困住了，你可能会问自己，为什么是我？为什么生活要让我遭受最重的打击？你该告诉自己，这是因为，只有你能够承受这些，并从中生存下来。不仅是生存下来，而且是活得精彩。
