前言
Preface
从事翻译研究二十多年，最大的收获就是认识了很多对英文学习、外国文化感兴趣的年轻朋友，他们身上那种鲜活的热情，使我很受触动和启发。
在我和钱厚生教授主编的《实用汉英翻译词典》获得国家辞书奖以后，就不断有年轻的朋友向我提同一个问题：怎样才能学好英文？
怎样才能学好英文？这确实是一个困扰了我们很久的不是问题的“问题”。对于这个问题，我的答案是“两读一听”——阅读、朗读与听力。
年轻的朋友首先要明确一个概念：英文，不仅是一种语言，也是一种文化，它绝不是枯燥的语法和单词背诵可以代替的，这些是基础，绝不是全部。
阅读优美而正确的英语文章，可以提高阅读能力，扩大词汇量，开阔视野，了解更多西方世界的风俗习惯。在阅读的过程中，可以对照在课堂上学到的语法知识，从感性上进一步掌握英文语法的应用；也可以通过对那些经典、优美的文章段落的反复品味，进一步提高英文写作水平。
朗读的好处更加显而易见。口语能力一向是国内学生学习英文的弱项之一，发音不准、不敢开口、磕磕绊绊都是常见的现象。怎样解决这些问题？我建议年轻朋友在阅读美文的时候更多地开口朗读出来，英语对话环境不好找，但是朗读却是人人都可以做到的。
经常朗读可以提高听力，培养英语语感——其实很多人的单词发音都是正确的，但是一旦开口却说不流畅，这就是语感在作祟了。曾发掘了特洛伊遗迹的德国语言天才希泊来，每学会一种外语只用三到六个月，秘诀何在？就是大声朗读。
多听标准语音是非常重要的一个环节，这样能够把自己置身于外语环境中，迫使自己接受，逐渐形成习惯。由听觉接收到大脑思考，再到发声表达，读和听可以帮助学习者建立这一流畅的反射体系，直到达成如同使用母语般的身体本能。
大量课外阅读、朗读和听力，可以升华我们的人格情操，促进心灵自省，增长语言文化知识，提高语言文化的综合素质，其更本质、更核心的意义，在于培养学习者对英文的浓厚兴趣——这才是一切学习者成功的源动力。
一直以来，我都有一个想法，想要整理一套经典优美的、适合年轻人的英文读物，将很多我认为年轻朋友们有必要读一读的优秀英文作品推荐给大家。但这是一个比较浩大且责任重大的工程，必须静下心花费较长时间来进行。由于我本身的事务一直也比较繁忙，这个想法始终停留在构思阶段。
2008年，常青藤语言教学中心的负责人找到我，希望我能主持“每天读点好英文”系列双语读物的编译工作。我很认同常青藤出版的“美丽英文系列”的品质，中心的各位编辑老师对读者负责的态度，我也十分佩服，他们的提议对我来说正中下怀，于是我们就此开始了为期将近两年的选撰编译工作。“每天读点好英文”系列图书便于2010年应运而生。
经过一年多的市场考验，证明该系列图书是成功的，但还有一些不足，我思前想后，认为要在学习功能上再做加强，遂重新筛选编译，再次出版了
“最美”系列图书（全五册），此套图书可以说是“每天读点好英文”的升级版。
“最美”系列是专为有提高英文水平需要和兴趣的年轻朋友们量身打造的一套“超级学习版”双语读物，并配有专业外教录制的光盘，将我倡导的“两读一听”真正体现出来，难度有所增加，适合英语中级以上的读者阅读。
在参与“最美”系列图书的制作过程中，我与杨一兰、方雪梅两位老师，以及常青藤语言教学中心的各位专业英语编辑也着手准备一套专为英语初学者阅读的“英文爱藏”系列丛书，就是现在您正在阅读的这套书。
此套图书依然延续了我一直强调的学习功能，这也是我们在编辑之初就赋予这套书的期许之一。“美文欣赏”、“单词积累”、“诵读记忆”“扩展阅读”将是阅读本书的提升重点。每篇文章的旁边会有重点单词提示，需要读者记忆，并学会运用。每篇作品后有三道巩固习题：“记忆填空”是对美文内容的回顾，填写重点单词，有助于英语句型的记忆；“佳句翻译”是让读者进行翻译训练，提升思维逻辑及单词、词组的整体应用能力；“短语应用”是提炼每篇文章的重点短语，并要求读者进行造句训练，进而提升短语运用能力。这就真正形成了一个初学者的学习体系——记忆单词、学习语法、运用词组、实践运用，不愁英语功底学习得不扎实。
有读者会问，此系列图书是如何选材的呢？要解释这个问题，首先要明白衡量一部作品质量的最强大标准是什么？是时间。那些超越了历史与时代局限流传下来的，往往才是文化中最精华的部分。我们经过反复研究，精心选择了各国知名作家最具有代表性的作品来奉献给读者。一篇篇经典隽永的美文，不仅可以让人在反复咀嚼中唇齿留香，同时也拓展了读者的知识面，达到了开阔视野、提升素养的目的。
另一点值得注意的是，“英文爱藏”系列从典雅的版式设计到精美的细节标识，从题型设置、心灵感悟到部分文章的作者介绍等增补链接，在细节上下足了功夫，都是为了增加读者的阅读和学习兴趣。时尚的双色印刷技术，清晰地区别了阅读与学习功能，让读者能更轻松地享受阅读，提高英语水平。
主持编译“英文爱藏”“最美”系列的过程中，我与杨一兰、方雪梅两位老师收获良多，故此也希望年轻的朋友在阅读这套书的时候能有所收获，希望这套书能成为波澜壮阔的英文海洋中的导航员，帮助更多的读者发自内心地爱上英文学习，理解英语文化之美。

清除你内心的障碍
Eliminate Inner Obstacles
佚名 Anonymous
Think back to a time in your life when you felt inspired and
excited to make a significant change. Did you go for it or did your
inner obstacles get in the way?
Your thoughts and beliefs are the foundation on which you build
your success. You can’ t build a solid house on a foundation of
clay and debris, and the same truth holds for your success.
If your thoughts and beliefs are shaky, these internal obstacles
will hold you back unless you eliminate them.
To succeed at overcoming obstacles you need to have the gut not
to quit, but to see things through, to have the strong faith to
believe more in yourself than in the obstacles and to have the
willingness to do what it takes to turn the obstacles around.
This means, you need to stand up to your obstacles and believe
you can overcome them. When you attack your obstacles and do
something about them, you’ll find that they are not as threatening
as they appeared to be at first.
Decide that you will not give up and if something has to give, it
will have to be the obstacles and not you.
Standing up to your obstacles imparts you with a sense of
accomplishment and reinforces the sense of your inner power. By
developing a habit of facing resistance, you instill into your
psyche a strong message of endurance and success. This strengthens
the faith and the belief in yourself, which helps remind you of the
responsibility to yourself.
Sometimes you may have to resort to some other measures to
overcome obstacles. If you can’t get through the problem, try going
around it, and if you can’t go around it, try getting under it, and
if you can’t get under it, try going over it, and if you can’t go
over it, just dive straight into it.
回顾一下，在你生命中的某个时刻，你突然灵光一闪，激动地想做出一个重大的改变。你会努力去争取实现，还是会被内心的障碍阻止了脚步呢？
你的思想和信仰是你成功的基础。在泥土和残骸的地基上，你无法建造一栋结实的房子，成功也是同样的道理。
如果你的思想和信仰摇摇欲坠，如果你不清除内心的障碍，它们就会阻碍你的前进。
要成功清除障碍，你需要有坚决不放弃的勇气，看清事物的本质，对自己拥有强大的信念，胜过对
那些障碍，还要有清除障碍所必需的主动。
你必须勇敢地抵抗自身的障碍，要相信自己一定能征服。当你向这些障碍发起攻击，并有所行动时，就会发现它们并不像起初看上去那样可怕。
下定决心，永不放弃。如果一定要有一方让步的话，那一定是障碍，而不是你。
与你的障碍对抗，你将获得一种成就感，它会使你内心的力量变得强大。培养一种直面反抗的好习惯，你就可以慢慢地给心灵灌输一种忍耐和成功的强大信念。这会使你对自身的信仰和信心有所增加，从而提醒你对自己负责很有帮助。
要清除障碍，有时你还要采取其他办法。如果你不能攻克障碍，就试着绕过去；如果无法绕过去，那从下面钻过去；如果钻不过去，那就越过去；如果无法越过，那就径直冲过去。

不要害怕失败
Don’t Fear Failure
佚名 Anonymous
Many career experts tout failure as the castor oil of success.
The idea isn’t to fling yourself into certain disaster in order to
be mystically rewarded with triumph. Rather, it’s a simple
recognition that people who willingly risk failure and learn from
loss have the best chance of succeeding at whatever they try.
Oh, you’ve had minor reverses in school or love, but you haven’t
failed meaningfully. Never fear, says Amitai Etzioni, professor of
socioeconomics at George Washington University: “Everyone gets a
chance. No one lives a failure-proof life forever.”Failure is easy
to recognize. “It usually involves loss of money, self-esteem
or status,” says Carole Hyatt, co-author of When Smart People
Fail. At the very least, it is simply not getting what you
want.
Not that rational people should wish for calamity, says Rabbi
Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People,
but a stiff dose of misfortune is often a painfully effective
tutor. It “teaches you something about your strength and acquaints
you with your limitations.” Notes Kushner. “That’s an important
part of maturity.”
People who profit from loss are the kind of foot soldiers
business leaders seek, “Continuous success builds arrogance and
complacency,” says multibillionaire industrialist H. Ross Perot. “I
want people who love the battlefield, people willing to go to the
war.” That includes making honest mistakes. Unsuccessful people, he
adds, instinctively avoid risks even when a smart gamble might pay
off. “You learn a great deal more from what doesn’t work than from
what does.” Failure, he says, is merely the cost of seeking new
challenge.If the thought of fouling up paralyzes you, here are
several helpful suggestions:1. Stop using the “F” word. High
achievers, rarely refer to “failure”, a loaded word suggesting a
personal dead end. They prefer “glitch”, “bollix” or “course
correction.”
2. Don’t take it personally.
When things go sour, do you instinctively label yourself a loser?
The language you use to describe yourself can become a powerful
reality. Repeatedly calling yourself an unemployed salesperson not
only labels you as out of work—synonymous with failure in our
society—it considers yourself someone “with options”. Those
opinions include taking classes to develop new skills or
bravely striking out on another career.
3.Be prepared.
Help insulate yourself by mapping a catastrophe plan. Ask
yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Imagining loss of job
or spouse can force you to clearly consider practical alternatives.
Do you have enough insurance and cash reserves to carry you through
a difficult period? Do you have talents that could bring in an
income if your employer handed you a pink slip? Keep in mind that
the Chinese ideogram for “crisis” consists of the characters for
both “danger” and “opportunity”.
4.Learn to fail intelligently.
Jack Matson, a University of Houston professor, developed a
course his students dubbed “Failure 101”. Matson had his
class build ice-cream-stick mock-ups of products no one would buy.
“They designed hamster hot tubs and kites to fly in hurricanes,”
says Matson.
The ideas were ridiculous, but once Matson’s students equated
failure with innovation instead of defeat, they felt free to try
anything. Since most students had at least five failures before
finding their business niche, they learned not to take failure as
the last word, says Matson. “They learned to reload and get ready
to shoot again.”
5.Never say die.
Early’s Harrisonburg, construction company went belly up in 1975.
Then only 25, Early borrowed on his home rather than declare
bankruptcy. He continued to work in construction, trying to master
the intricacies of management. In 1982, he “got nervy enough” to
borrow more to start his own business again, having built a solid
reputation with banks for getting through difficult times.
Early expanded his new construction business cautiously. He took
college courses in business administration. By 1988, Early’s
company made Inc. magazine’s list of the 500 fastest-growing
privately owned companies.
Early is not complacent. Memories of hard times haunt him. “I
can’t afford to get arrogant about success,” he says, “So I’m
always trying to improve my business.”
许多职业专家将失败认定为“成功的润滑油”。这种说法并不是让你为了获得神秘的胜利，而先将自己推向某个灾难的边缘。这仅仅是那些成功人士对失败的一种认识。他们能够欣然接受失败，并从失败中懂得：无论尝试什么，都是成功的最好机会。噢，你在学校或爱情上也许遇到过一些小的挫折，但是你还没有体验过真正意义上的失败。乔治?
华盛顿大学的社会经济学教授阿米塔伊?埃茨奥尼说：“永远不要害怕，人人都有一次机会，没有谁会一生都失败。”意识到失败是很容易的事。《当聪明的人失败时》一书的合著者卡罗莱?海厄特说：“通常，失败会伴随着金钱、自尊或身份地位的损失而出现。”至少，失败的结果是不能得到你想要的。
《当不幸降临在好人身上时》的作者罗比?哈罗德?库沙尔说，并不是说理智的人应该盼望灾难的降临，但是巨大的挫折往往是痛苦的深刻教训。它“能让你知道自己的长处，了解自己的短处”。库沙尔写道：“经历挫折是成长过程中的重要一课。”
从失败中汲取教训的人才是企业领导青睐的对象。拥有亿万资产的实业家H.
罗斯?佩罗特说：“不断的成功助长自大、自满之情。我想要那些喜欢战场，愿意斗争的人才。”这其中包括犯诚实的错误。H.罗斯?佩罗特又补充说：“失败者本能地避开冒险，即使是面对形势较好的投机机会时也是如此。你从失败中学到的东西，要比从成功中学到的东西多得多。”他说：“失败仅仅是在寻找新的挑战时所付出的代价。”
如果害怕失败让你举步维艰，这里有几条有益的建议：
1. 停止使用“失败”一词。
有较高成就的人很少提到“失败”二字，因为使用这个沉重的词说明这个人无法再继续发展。他们更喜欢“小麻烦”、“改正方针”等词。
2. 不要因失败而沮丧。
当事情进展不顺利时，你是否本能地为自己贴上了“失败者”的标签？你评价自己的语言可以变成一种有力的现实。一次又一次地称自己是位尚未被雇用的售货员，而不应说自己失业了——也就是你在社会生活中的失败——这样说，你就可以认为自己是“拥有选择权”的人。你可以选择参加学习班来培养新的技能，或者勇敢地选择从事另一个行业。
3. 做好准备。
规划一个灾难计划来帮助你自己在灾难降临时不会受到影响。问问你自己，会发生的最糟糕的事情是什么？设想一下失去工作或配偶的情形，会让你清晰地考虑现实的选择。你有足够的保险或存款来使你度过困难时期吗？如果你的老板解雇了你，你的才能会为你带来收入吗？请记住，汉字中“
危机” 一词的词义包含两方面：“危险”与“机遇”。
4. 学会聪明地失败。
休斯敦某大学教授杰克?马斯顿开设了一门课程，该课程被学生们叫做“失败101”。他让他的学生制造没人会买的冰激凌棒模型。马斯顿说：“他们设计成像仓鼠似的热容器和在飓风中放的风筝。”
尽管这些想法都很可笑，可是一旦学生们把失败看做创新而不是失败时，他们会很勇敢地去尝试做任何事情。马斯顿说，在获得成功之前，大多数学生都至少失败了五次，他们学会了不把失败当做最后的结局。“学生们学会了整装待发，再次准备尝试。”
5. 永不言弃。
1975年，厄尔利的Harrisonburg
建筑公司破产了。那时25岁的他向家人借钱维持经营，而并没有宣布破产。他继续做建筑工作，努力掌握管理上的复杂关系。1982年，他厚着脸皮又借了更多的钱来重新开办自己的公司，并于困难时期在银行中留下了良好的口碑。厄尔利谨慎地扩大了自己新建筑公司的规模。他还去学校学习商业管理课程。1988年，厄尔利的公司被《Inc.》杂志评为世界发展最快的500家企业之一。厄尔利没有自满，他时常会想起那段艰难的日子。他说：“我不因成功而自满，所以我总在努力发展我的事业。”
