英语美文：生活上的11个小暗示

 　　1、It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

　　没有回报的爱是一种伤害。但更痛苦的是爱一个人却没有勇气让那个人知道你的感受。

　　2、A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

　　生命中令人悲伤的是，当你遇到了某个对你来说极为重要的人，却发现根本没有所谓的命中注定，最后你只得放手。

　　3、The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.

　　最好的朋友就是那种可以和你一起坐在门廊秋千上，不说一句话，然后离开，却感觉就像你们已经彼此敞开心扉。

　　4、It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.

　　只有失去才明白曾经拥有过，这话一点没错，同样的事实：只有最终达到终点，我们才能明白一直在失去什么。

　　5、It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

　　迷上一个人只需一分钟，喜欢一个人只需一个小时，爱上一个人只需一天，但忘记一个人却需要一辈子。

　　6、Don’t go for looks, they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

　　不要迷恋于容貌，容貌会欺骗你。不要追逐财富，财富也会消失。找一个能让你微笑的人，因为仅仅一个微笑就能让一个阴暗的日子变得明亮起来。

　　7、Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

　　做你想做的梦，去你想去的地方，做你想做的人。因为你只有一次生命，只有一个机会去做所有你想要做的事。

　　8、Always put yourself in the other’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

　　9、A careless word may kindle¹ strife². A cruel word may wreck³ a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may heal and bless.

　　口无遮拦会引发争执。一句无情的话语会毁掉一生。 适时温语可以消弭压力。但是，只有关爱之声才能疗伤和祈福。

　　10、 The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

　　最快乐的人不一定拥有所有一切最好的东西，他们只是充分珍惜了生命中所遇到的一切。

　　11、Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

　　爱以微笑开始，在亲吻中成长，以泪水结束。当你出生时，你在哭，而周围的人在笑。过好自己的生活；当你死去时，你就是那个微笑的人，而你周围的人在哭泣。
