英語朗誦短文1-3分鐘篇3：The Goodness of Life
Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life’s goodness can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed.
For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, kindness and compassion. For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.
There is goodness to life that cannot be denied.
In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details, look closely, for that goodness always comes shining through.
There si no limit to the goodness of life. It grows more abundant with each new encounter. The more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.
Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be cov ered in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives on. Open your eyes, open your heart, and you will see that goodness is everywhere.
Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks, it always endures. For in the darkest moment it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure. And so the goodness of life is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.
Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life was really only a moment away. Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and delight you.
Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts. Then, share your good fortune with another. For the goodness of life grows more and more magnificent each time it is given away.
Though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage ever stronger, the goodness of life grows stronger still, quietly, peacefully, with more purpose and meaning than ever before.
譯文：
生命的美好
盡管有很多事讓人憂慮，但相比而言，值得感激的事要多得多。盡管生命的美好有時(shí)被蒙上陰影，但它卻永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)被埋沒。
相對(duì)于每一個(gè)無謂的破壞行為而言，都有更多數(shù)以千計(jì)更為微小的，包含著愛，友善和同情的舉動(dòng)靜靜地上演著。相對(duì)于每一個(gè)試圖傷害他人的人而言，都有更多的人致力于幫助他人，治愈他人的創(chuàng)傷。
生命的美好不能否認(rèn)。
在最為壯觀的前景和最為瑣碎的細(xì)節(jié)中，請(qǐng)仔細(xì)觀察，因?yàn)槊篮玫氖挛锟偸巧l(fā)著耀眼的光芒閃亮登場。
生命的美好沒有界限。每一次相遇都會(huì)使這美好變得越發(fā)豐富。你經(jīng)歷得越多，越能欣賞生命的美好，生命中的美好就會(huì)變得越多。
即使當(dāng)寒風(fēng)襲來，整個(gè)世界似乎被霧氣掩蓋之時(shí)，生命的美好仍會(huì)存在。睜開雙眼，打開心扉，你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這美好無處不在。
盡管生命的美好有時(shí)似乎遭受挫折，但它總會(huì)挺過來。因?yàn)?，在最黑暗的時(shí)刻，有一點(diǎn)變得格外清楚，那就是，生命是無價(jià)的財(cái)富。因此，下正是與生命的美好相對(duì)立的事物使其越發(fā)強(qiáng)大。
無數(shù)次地，當(dāng)你擔(dān)心這美好已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)離之時(shí)，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)生命的美好其實(shí)只與你相隔須臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每個(gè)時(shí)刻之間，等著給你驚喜。
花些時(shí)間讓生命的美好感動(dòng)自己的靈魂，放松自己的思緒。然后，把你的幸運(yùn)與他人分享。因?yàn)樯拿篮脮?huì)在每次給予之間變得越來越壯觀。
盡管總是有問題讓你去關(guān)注，沖突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命的美好卻總是靜靜地，平和地，帶著比以往更強(qiáng)的意志和更多的價(jià)值變得更加強(qiáng)大。
英語朗誦短文1-3分鐘篇4：Clear Your Mental Space
Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion---like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.
Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute---but only one minute---to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I wiling to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”
Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really fell it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.
When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
This exercise seems simple---almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.
Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens. Keep a piece of paper with you that says the following:
Stop. Immerse for one minute. Do I want to keep this negativity? Breath deep, exhale, release. Move on!
This will remind you of the steps to the process. Remember; take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion. Then, when you feel you’ve felt it enough, release it---really let go of it. You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!
譯文：
清理心靈的空間
想下你最近一次感受到的消極情緒，例如壓力，憤怒或挫折。當(dāng)你處于那種消極情緒時(shí)你在想些什么?是充滿了混亂的思緒?還是陷于麻木，無法思考?
下次當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己處于非常緊張的狀態(tài)時(shí)，或是你感到氣憤或受挫時(shí)，停下來。是的，對(duì)，停下來。不管你在做什么，停下來坐上一分鐘。坐著的時(shí)候，讓自己完全沉浸在那種消極情緒之中。
讓那種消極情緒吞噬你，給自己一分鐘的時(shí)間去真切地體會(huì)那種情緒，不要欺騙自己?；ㄕ环昼姷臅r(shí)間 – 但只有一分鐘 – 去體會(huì)那種情緒，別的什么也不要做。
當(dāng)一分鐘結(jié)束時(shí)，問自己：“我是否想在今天余下的時(shí)間里繼續(xù)保持這種消極情緒?”
一旦你允許自己完全沉浸在那種情緒當(dāng)中并真切體會(huì)到它，你就會(huì)驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)那種情緒很快就消失了。
如果你覺得還需要點(diǎn)時(shí)間來保持那種情緒，沒關(guān)系，再給自己一分鐘的時(shí)間去體會(huì)它。
如果你覺得自己已經(jīng)充分體會(huì)了那種情緒，那就問自己是否愿意在今天余下的時(shí)間里繼續(xù)保持這種消極情緒。如果不愿意，那就深呼吸。呼氣的時(shí)候，把所有的消極情緒都釋放出去。
這個(gè)方法似乎很簡單 – 幾乎是太過簡單了，但卻非常有效。通過給自己空間真正體會(huì)消極情緒，你是在處理這種情緒，而不是將其壓制下去然后盡量不加理會(huì)。通過給予消極情緒所需的空間和關(guān)注，你實(shí)際上是在消解其力量。當(dāng)你沉浸在那種情緒之中，并且明白它只是一種情緒時(shí)，你就擺脫了它的控制。你可以清理頭腦并繼續(xù)做事。
你下次籠罩消極情緒時(shí)，試一下這種做法，給自己一點(diǎn)空間來體會(huì)那種情緒并看看會(huì)發(fā)生什么。隨身帶一張寫著如下字句的紙條：
停下來。沉浸一分鐘。我想保持這種消極情緒嗎?深吸氣，呼氣，放松。繼續(xù)做事!
這會(huì)提醒你該怎樣去做。記住，要花你所需要的時(shí)間去真正沉浸于那種情緒之中。然后，當(dāng)你感到自己已經(jīng)充分體會(huì)到了它。你會(huì)驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)，你很快就能擺脫消極情緒，并開始做你真正想做的事情!
