短篇美文赏析：生命中最重要的事
The Important Things in LifeSometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were
meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help
you figure out who you are or who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be - a roommate, a neighbor, a
professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger - but when you lock
eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some
profound way.
Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair
at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you
would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Noteprofound adj. 深刻的，意义深远的 obstacle n. 障碍，妨碍物
potential n. 潜能，潜力 willpower n. 毅力，意志力
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity
all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever
they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere.
It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you
experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad
experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important
ones.
Notesheer v. 避开，躲避 stupidity n. 愚蠢，糊涂事 downfall n. 衰败
If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can, not
only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love
and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for
they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to
whom you open your heart.
Notebetray v. 出卖，背叛 cautious adj. 谨慎的，小心的
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments
everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it
again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what
they have to say.
Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your
head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great
individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it
will be hard for others to believe in you.
You can make anything you wish of your life. Create your own life and then
go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
Noteabsolutely adv. 完全地，绝对地
And if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may
have in store.
