I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to El Capitan, a huge rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew immediately I wanted to climb it. That has been my life's passion (钟爱) ever since climbing the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I've long made Yosemite my home.

About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of waste, like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It's beyond me why visitors started respecting the place less and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.

I tried picking up trash (垃圾) myself, but the job was too big. I would spend an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so tired of it that I decided something had to change.

As a rock-climbing guide, I knew nothing about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a cleanup. On that day, more than 300 people showed up. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to accomplish. I couldn't believe the difference we made the park looked clean!

Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and covered 132 miles of roadway.

I often hear people complain about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by doing rather than complaining. We need to teach by example. You can't blame others unless you start with yourself.

Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.

Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (呻吟) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.

Then Ms. Yates started to speak:

"I can't tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven't seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven't appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination."

Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:

"It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path."

"There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart."

There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar (呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

原文

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of a lost art. But as the writer Anne Trubek points out in her new book, The History and Uncertain Future of Handwriting, we have abandoned handwriting for good reasons.

Trubek argues that handwriting has been in decline since the invention of the printing press. The rise of typing only sped up the process. Today, with computers and smartphones, we type or thumb our way through almost everything. The need to write by hand has all but disappeared.

But some experts worry that the loss of handwriting means the loss of an important cognitive (认知的) skill. They point to studies showing that children who learn to write by hand learn to read faster and are better at expressing ideas. Others, however, say that handwriting is no longer a necessary skill. They note that many famous authors, including John Updike and Stephen King, have written their novels on computers.

Trubek herself is not entirely against handwriting. She says she still writes letters by hand, and she sees value in the personal touch it provides. But she believes that the benefits of handwriting have been oversold. "We have to be careful not to romanticize (浪漫化) handwriting," she says.

She also notes that the way we write has always changed over time. The ancient Greeks wrote on wax tablets (蜡板) with a stylus (尖笔). In the Middle Ages, monks (修道士) spent hours copying books by hand. Then came the printing press, the typewriter, and the computer. Each new technology was seen as a threat to the old way of doing things. But in the end, each one simply added to the range of tools we have for expressing ourselves.

3. But some experts worry that the loss of handwriting means the loss of an important cognitive (认知的) skill.

4. Trubek herself is not entirely against handwriting. She says she still writes letters by hand, and she sees value in the personal touch it provides. But she believes that the benefits of handwriting have been oversold. "We have to be careful not to romanticize (浪漫化) handwriting," she says.

In the Middle Ages, monks (修道士) spent hours copying books by hand. Then came the printing press, the typewriter, and the computer.

原文

You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. "They" did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. "They" are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as "they" are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.

Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don't let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don't blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.

Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.

In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.

In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.

原文逐段解析

1. You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. "They" did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. "They" are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as "they" are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.

句型拆分:时间状语从句When...,定语从句which caused...。

中文翻译:人生有很多机会,让你选择当受害者,还是创造者。当你选择当受害者,世界就是个冰冷艰难的地方,“他们”对你做了那些事,导致了你所有的痛苦。“他们”都是错的、坏的,只要“他们”在,生活就很糟糕。或者你会怪自己所有的问题,把受害者的心态内化。事实是,只要你想要怪自己或者别人,你的人生就会一直这样。

2. Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don't let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don't blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.

句型拆分:定语从句Those who...,并列句。

中文翻译:选择当创造者的人,看人生的方式完全不同。他们知道,有的人可能想要控制他们的人生,但他们不会让这个阻碍自己。他们知道自己有弱点,但失败的时候不会怪自己,不管发生什么,他们都有选择的权利。他们相信,和人生的每个神圣时刻共舞,都是礼物,而人生的风雨都是自然的,能带来情感和精神成长需要的雨露。

3. Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.

句型拆分:定语从句that cause...,非限制性定语从句which inspire...。

中文翻译:受害者和创造者生活在同一个世界,面对同样的现实,但他们的人生体验却天差地别。受害者沉溺在愤怒、愧疚这些情绪里,这会让别人,甚至他们自己,也觉得自己是受害者。创造者会有意识地选择爱、灵感,这些能激励自己,也能激励身边的人的品质。受害者和创造者,都有权利决定自己人生的方向。

4. In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.

句型拆分:对比的两个句子,说明不同的人面对同样的事,有不同的选择。

中文翻译:实际上,我们所有人,在人生的不同阶段,都会扮演受害者或者创造者。一个人,丢了工作或者失恋了,可能会觉得世界末日到了,然后陷入痛苦几个月、几年,甚至一辈子。另一个有同样经历的人,会选择先感受悲伤,然后接受失去,很快就走出来,成为人生里强大的创造者。

5. In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.

Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn't stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.

For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world's best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women's record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.

Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.

When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things — travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she was inspired.
