婚姻愛情英語閱讀理解
到了成年，使人心靈深處感到喜悅的事——生育、愛情，結婚——同樣也帶來了版責任感和失去權的可能性，心愛的人也許會離開人世。對成年人來說，幸福是復雜的。
詞典上將「幸福」定義為「幸運」或「吉祥」，但是我認為，更恰當的定義應該是「贊賞的能力」。我們越能享受所擁有的一切，我們就越幸福。我們很容易忽略我們在生活中，在被愛時，在公司的同伴中，和自由前往我們喜歡的地方，甚至健康給我們帶來的快樂。
我總結了一下我昨天的幸福時刻：首先，我獨自在家是感到無比幸福，我花了一個上午的時間做我喜愛的寫作，白天的清靜過後，孩子們回到家，我又享受著他們帶來的熱鬧氣氛。
你永遠不知道下一個幸福會發生在什麼時候。在我問朋友們是什麼讓他們感到幸福時，有些人總會提到一些看似細小的事情。我的其中一個朋友喜歡打電話"每當它響起來時，我就會知道有人在想我。
我們都有經歷過這樣的瞬間，但是很少人會把它看做是幸福。
樓主，打字辛苦的，，加加分吧。
2. 英語閱讀/翻譯之朝花夕拾（42）
1. I'm wearing one of my corporate board meeting ensembles : a pinstriped wool skirt in chocolate , paired with a coffee-colored cashmere sweater. I purchased these investment pieces back when brown was going to be the new black and money was lubricated, back before everyone in America was vying for minimum-wage jobs just to stay underemployed.
我穿著一套職業套裝：一件巧克力色斜紋毛料裙，配上一件咖啡色開司米毛衣，我當時為自己投資買這些衣服時，棕色取代黑色成了新的流清枝行色，錢來得又快又容易，那時候的美國人，物燃還不用為了一份工時不足最低薪酬的工作打破頭呢。
（點評：（唱）：時光一去永不回，往事只能回味。）
2. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.
瞎貓偶爾也能碰上死耗子。
（點評：又是中英無縫對接罩正虛的成語。）
3. The odds are good , but the goods are odd.
機率很大，但成果很怪。
（點評：英語中這種句式是翻譯者的噩夢。 幾乎相同的單詞在句子中的位置被調整以後，詞性和意義發生了變化。 原文的文字游戲的俏皮性盪然無存。）
4. Love is an ideal thing , marriage is a real thing ; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.
愛情是空想之物，婚姻是實在之物；誤將空想當實在，不受懲罰都難！
（點評： 也有人認為： 愛情是一種暫時性癲癇，婚姻是治癒它的特效葯。）

Marriage Partnerships
婚姻關系
Traditionally, the woman has held a low position in marriage partnerships.
從傳統上講，婚姻伴侶關系中女人的地位較低，
While her hu *** and went his way she had to wash, stitch and sew.

當今的趨勢是解放婦女，這最終可以鞏固婚姻。
Perhaps the greatest obstacle to friendship in marriage is the amount a couple usually see ofeach other.
也許婚姻中友好關系的最大障礙是一對夫妻互相看到的時間量。
Friendship in its usual sense is not tested by the strain of daily, year-long cohabitation.
通常意義上的感情不能由經年累月的同居生活所檢驗。
Couples need to take up separate interests as well as mutually shared ones,if they are not to get used to the more attractive elements of each other's personalities.
如果夫妻想要使各自性格中更有吸引力的那些部分不失去新鮮感，那麼他們不但要有共同的興趣，而且要有獨立的舉塵興趣。
Married couples are likely to exert themselves for guests—being amusing, discussing withpassion and point—and then to fall into ll exhausted silence when the guests have gone.
已婚夫婦在來客人的時候會竭盡全力招待客人，談話時充滿 *** ，幽默風趣，談話充滿智慧，但是客人離開後便陷入了沉默的，無話可說的狀態。

But at the same time they must spend enough time on separate interests with separate people to preserve and develop their separate personalities and keep their relationship fresh.
但是同時他們必須花費足夠的時間在不同的人和興趣上，以保持和發展他們各自的個性，並保持關系常新。
For too many highly intelligent working women,home represents chore obligations,because the hu *** and only tolerates her work and does not participate in household chores.
對很多高智商的工作女性來說，家代表瑣碎的家務，因為丈夫僅僅容忍她不工作，卻不參與家庭瑣事。
For too many highly intelligent working men,home represents llness and plaints—from an over-dependent wife who will not gather courage to make her own life.
對很多高智商的工作男性來說，家代表無聊和抱怨，來自沒有勇氣創造自己生活的過分依賴於人的妻子。
In such an atmosphere,the partners grow further and further apart,both love and liking disappearing.
在如此的氣氛下，夫妻漸行漸遠，愛和喜好通通消失。
For too many couples with children,the children are allowed to mand all time and attention,allowing the couple no time to develop liking and friendship,as well as love,allotting them exclusive parental roles.
對很多有孩子的妻子來說，孩子允許支配父母的所有時間和注意力，使得夫妻沒有時間來培養好感，感情和愛，留給他們的只是父母親的角色。

Love, Grows in Marriage 愛情，在婚姻的殿堂中成長
Social scientists have observed that marriages typically move through a series of at least four stages. Each stage presents unique learning opportunities and blessings, along with challenges and obstacles.
社會學家研究發現，一般來說，婚姻至少要經歷一系列的至少四個階段。每個階段都給予我們獨特的學習和成長的機會，還有祝福。當然，其中不乏挑戰和險阻。
Stage One – Romance, Passion and Promise
第一階段——浪漫， *** ，承諾
In the beginning of a relationship partners often municate effortlessly and at length. They seem to intuit each other』s needs and wishes and go out of their way to please and surprise each other. Couples begin to develop a strong sense of 「we.」
在一段婚姻關系初期，夫妻們經常可以毫不費力地進行最大限度的溝通。他們可以直接感知對方的願望和需求，也會不顧自己的感受盡力取悅對方，讓對方驚喜。他們之間逐漸建立起「我們」的強烈意識，縱觀所有階段，此階段夫妻的個性差異是最小的，幾乎可以忽略。
Indivial differences are minimized, if noticed at all; partners are very accepting. Joy, excitement, happiness and hope abound.
夫妻在這個階段很容易接受對方的一切。他們彼此充滿著快樂、興奮、幸福和希望。
Partners present and elicit their best selves. Life seems promising. It is a time of sharing dreams and romance. This is a time to be remembered and cherished.
夫妻們都會選擇展現他們最好的那一面給對方。生活似乎充滿希望和前景。這是彼此分享夢想和浪漫的階段。這是值得銘記和珍惜的階段。

Stage Three – Rebellion and Power Struggles
第三階段——反抗和權力抗爭
Spouses cannot always live up to each other』s expectations. They will disappoint and unintentionally hurt each other.
夫妻關系中沒有人總能滿足對方的期盼。不經意間，他們會使對方失望，甚至傷害到對方。

Power struggles are mon. Blame, judgment, critici *** and defensiveness are likely outes.
權力抗爭是很常見的;指責，批評，挑剔，防禦，是最有可能的結果。

理想的情況下，在此階段，夫妻會在體諒和適應中成長。支撐性的社群變得尤為重要即親戚好友要幫助夫妻維持婚姻，給予支撐性的建議，讓爭吵中的夫妻變得和諧。

第四階段——發現，調解，重新開始
Couples can push through the previous stage through deepened munication, honesty and trust.
夫妻可以跳過第三階段這道坎，但需要加深彼此的溝通，坦誠和信任。
Ideally, they discover and create a new sense of connection. They learn more about each other』s strengths and vulnerabilities.
在理想的情況下，他們會探尋並創造出一種新的維系婚姻的方式。
They learn to identify and talk about their fears instead of acting them out. They refuse to judge or blame their partner; they translate their plaints into requests for change.
他們學會要了解更多對方的長處和弱點。他們學會試圖說出他們心中的恐懼，而不是直接表現在行動上以致傷害對方。他們不再批評或指責對方，而將對方的抱怨視為讓自己變得更好的要求。
Partners see each other in a new light, as gifted and flawed, just as they themselves are gifted and flawed. Empathy and passion increase. They learn to appreciate and respect each other in new ways; they learn not to take each other for granted.
夫妻用一種新的眼光看待對方，就如同自己本身有優點也有缺點，對方也亦然。因此，他們對對方的同情感和憐憫感增加了。他們學會以一種新的方法去贊美和尊重對方，不再認為對自己好是對方的義務。
They find a new balance of separateness and togetherness, independence and intimacy. A new hope and energy return to the relationship.
他們發現了一種在分開和共處之間，獨立和親密之間的平衡。婚姻關系重新注入新的希望和力量。
Additional Challenges and Stages
其他挑戰和階段
Many couples will encounter additional life cycle stages. Just like marriage, creating a family will face many challenges.
很多夫妻會遇到其他階段。如同婚姻，建立一個家庭會面對很多挑戰。
It is another opportunity to learn about cooperation and being a team, about dealing with differences and conflicts, and about taking time to pause and choose.
這給予夫妻另一個成長的機會，學習如何成為一個團隊，分工合作;處理生活上的矛盾和爭執;留出時間去思考未來的路，並進行抉擇。
Parenting is a spiritual journey that involves not only the growth of the children but the growth of the parents. Like marriage, it will have many opportunities to surrender and die to self, to let go and to grieve.
成為父母是一個心靈上新的旅程，期間不斷發育成長的不僅有孩子，而且父母也會壯大他們的力量，思想更加成熟。如同婚姻，成為父母也要很大犧牲，要懂取捨和放棄。
Other life cycle challenges include illness, unemployment and other financial crises, retirement, and the death of one』s partner. Many couples must take care of the older generation while letting go of the younger one.
夫妻會遇到的其他挑戰還包括疾病，失業或其他經濟危機，退休和另一半的離世。有時候，夫妻還要面對白頭人送黑頭人的情況。
Growth throughout the marital journey requires openness and flexibility. Faith requires trust and surrender. Even if we cannot see the entire road and where it will end, we need to have clarity to take the next few steps.
在婚姻的旅程中，愛情的成長需要坦誠和適應。信念需要信任和退讓來維持。盡管我們未必能遇見前方的道路，也不知何處是幸福的彼岸，我們仍然需要清晰的指導，引領未來的生活。

Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which procts and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the procts bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the"system" of prices. The price of any particular proct or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.
If one were to ask a group of randomly selected indivials to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a proct or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a proct or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the proct or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the proct or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.
價格決定資源的使用方式。價格也是有限的產品與服務在買方中的配給手段。美國的價格系統是復雜的網狀系統，包括經濟生活中一切產品買賣的價格，也包括名目繁多的各種服務，諸如勞動力、專職人員、交通運輸、公共事業等服務的價格。所有這些價格的內在聯系構成了價格系統。任何一種個別產品或服務的價格都與這個龐大而復雜的系統密切相關，而且或多或少地受到系統中其它成份的制約。
如果隨機挑選一群人，問問他們如何定義"價格"，許多人會回答價格就是根據賣方提供的產品或服務，買方向其付出的錢數。換句話說，價格就是市場交易中大家認同的產品或服務的貨幣量。該定義就其本身來說自有其道理。但要獲得對價格在任何一樁交易中的完整認識，就必須考慮到大量"非貨幣"因素的影響。買賣雙方不但要清楚交易中的錢數，而且要非常熟悉交易物的質量和數量，交易的時間、地點，採用哪種形式付款，有怎樣的'緩付和優惠，對交易物的質量保證、交貨條款、退賠權利等等。也就是說，為了能估算索價，買賣雙方必須通曉構成交易物價格的通盤細節。

Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel instry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the proct and in part from his policy of expanding ring periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were recing their investments.
Carnegie believed that indivials should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide ecational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced, " he often said.Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.
Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.
被稱作鋼鐵大王的安德魯·卡內基在美國建立了鋼鐵工業。在這個過程中，他變成了美國最富有的人之一。 他的成功，部分來自於他銷售產品的能力，部分來自於經濟蕭條時期的擴充策略。在蕭條時期，他的多數對手都在縮減投資。
卡內基認為個人應該通過努力工作來獲得進展，但他也強烈地感到有錢人應該運用他們的財富來為社會謀 取福利。他反對施捨救濟，更願意提供教育機會，使別人自立。卡內基經常說："富有著死去的人死得可恥。"他對社會的較重要的貢獻都以他的名字命名。這些貢獻包括匹茲堡卡內基學校。這個學校有一個圖書館，一個美術館和一個國家歷史博物館;他還創立了一所技術學校，這所學校現在是卡內基梅隆大學的一部分;其他的慈善捐贈有為促進國家間了解的"卡內基國際和平基金"，為科學研究提供經費的華盛頓卡內基學院以及給各種藝術活動提供活動中心的卡內基音樂廳。
安德魯·卡內基的慷慨大度幾乎影響到每個美國人的生活。由於他超過五百萬美元的捐款，2500 個圖書館得以建立起來，遍布在美國各地的小村鎮，形成了我們今天還在享用的公共圖書館系統的核心。

Jogging has become the most popular indivial sport in America. Many theories, even some mystical ones, have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging. The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.
The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. One can train more specifically, as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power s in football, but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can rece heart disease, the number one cause of death in America.
Only one sort of equipment is needed a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe in dispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as little chance of injury as possible. A good running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock, as well as a slightly built-up heel and a full heelcup that will give the knee and ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent bilisters and the foot, ankle and knee injures and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.

Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are encouraged, but not forced, to 「leave the nest」 and begin an independent life. After children leave home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married, Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young alts meet their future spouses through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions, Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.
In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father』s business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father』s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self – reliance and independence.
子女一旦到適當年齡(通常是18至21歲)，要鼓勵而不是強迫他們「離開窩的，財政的巢」，開始獨立生活。小孩離開家後，往往在外能夠與人交往，並自謀出路。父母不為子女安排婚姻，子女結婚也通常無需獲得父母同意。在美國，浪漫的愛情往往是婚姻的基礎，通過朋友在學校、單位、組織以及宗教團體認識自己的，愛情的未來的伴侶。盡管子女自己擇偶，他們仍然希望父母能認同他們的選擇。
許多家庭的父母認為，應由子女自己來做他們生活中的重大決定。家長可能會設法影響子女去從事某一職業，但子女也有選擇其它職業的自由。有時為了證實自己的獨立性，子女從事的工作正好與父母希望的相反。兒子可能執意不去父親的企業工作，因為擔心在那裡就不能獨立自主。這種不依靠父母的獨立性並不意味著父母與子女之間缺乏愛心。父母和子女之間普遍都有摯愛，美國家庭也毫不例外。只不過在美國家庭之中，還融合了自主、獨立的文化價值觀念。

A painter hangs his or her finished pictures on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm-two entirely different movements.
Singers and instruments have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner』s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the string have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.
This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conctors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sound with fanatical but selfless authority.
Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.

Every weekday morning I take the 8:30 bus to go to my job. I know by sight several people who also fide that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes.
But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house. He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!". From head to tail his little body wags his happiness. Everyone on the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house.
One day not long ago the maid wasn't on the bus. I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. Sure enough, he was!
He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry. Where was she?
The driver closed the back door. The dog raced to the front door. It, too, shut in his face.
Everyone on the bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there!
The driver couldn't stand it. He opened the door and looked down at the dog. "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.
A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.
The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to trot home ── alone.
The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her.
The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. We all smiled at one another. How bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us!

There was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. I guess that would have been when I was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage turned me into an old man.
I would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that I had become and then I would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.
After breakfast one Saturday morning I returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the azalea bushes strewn around the orphanage.
I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after the other, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.
How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. I had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself, just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so I could look at them up close.
When the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement step and went inside to answer the phone. I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about so I reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out. It started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin. Finally it's wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just quivered.
I picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and I spat on it's wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back. But it would not stay on him.
The next thing I knew the house parent came walking back out of the back door by the garbage room and started yelling at me. I told him that I did not do anything but he did not believe me. He picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the top of the head. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. He threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it in the garbage can inside the back room of the dormitory and then he left.
I sat there in the dirt, by that big old tree, for the longest time trying to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so I could bury them whole, but it was too hard to do. So I prayed for them and then I put them in an old torn up shoe box and I buried them in the bottom of the fort that I had built in the ground, out by the large bamboos, near the blackberry bushes.
Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me I would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.

For many people in the U.S., sports are not just for fun. Theyre almost a religion. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person.
Other fans watch the games at home, glued to their TV sets. Americas devotion to athletics has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million-dollar salaries. Some even make big money appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and even toiletries.
對許多的美國人而言，運動不只是為了好玩。它幾乎成了一種宗教崇拜，數以千計的運動迷會為了能親眼目睹他們喜愛的球隊或運動員比賽而出高價購買門票。
其它的球迷則守在家裡寸步不離地收看電視轉播。美國人對於運動的投入形成了一個新的富有階級：職業運動員。運動明星通常會收到上百萬元的薪水。其中有些人甚至是因為替飲料、鞋，甚至個人化妝用品拍廣告而賺了一大筆錢。

Through the changes in the ways of making a living in a family over several generations, the cartoon aims at sounding a warning against mans wasteful use of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources.
Ever since man appeared on the earth, mans survival has been heavily relied on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature, ranging from the food we eat, the water we drink, to the wood which is turned into furiture. With the development of technology and population growth, the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate. However, natural resources are not inexhaustible. Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point. If man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future, the later generations would end up selling sand, as is the case in the cartoon, and the whole world would be in a mess.
Time is running out. It is up to us to take effective measures before the situation gets out of hand.

關於愛情的拆彎則英文段落精選
Love is like a four-season garden
A relationship is like a garden, if it is to strive it must be watered regularly, special care must be given; take into account the seasons as well as any unpredictable weather. New seeds must be sown and weeds must be pulled. Similarly, to keep the magic of love alive, we must understand its seasons and nurture love’s special needs.
The springtime of love
Falling in love is like springtime. We feel as though we will be happy forever. We can’t image not loving a partner. It is a time of innocence. Love seems eternal. It is a magic time when everything seems perfect and works effortlessly. Our partner seems to be the perfect fit. We effortless dance together in harmony and rejoice our good fortune.
The summer of love
Throughout the summer of love, we realize our partner is not as perfect as we thought. And we have to work on our relationship, not only is our partner from other planet, but he or she is also a human who makes mistakes and flawed in certain ways. Frustration and disappointment arise. Weeds need to be uprooted and plant need extra watering under the hot sun. It is no longer easy to give love and get the love we need. We discover that we are not always happy, and we do not always feel loving. It is not our picture of love. Many couples at this point become disillusioned. They do not want to work on a relationship. They unrealistically expect it to be spring all the time. They blame their partners and give up. They do not realize that love is not always easy; sometimes requires hard work under a hot sun. In the summer season of love, we need to nurture our partner’ needs, as well as ask for and get the love we need. It doesn’t happen automatically.
The autumn of love
As result of tending the garden ring the summer, we get to harvest results of our hard work. Fall has come. It is a golden time--- rich and fulfilling. We experience a more mature love that accepts and understands our partner’s imperfections as well as our own. It is a time of thanksgiving and sharing. Having worked hard ring the summer, we can relax and enjoy the love we have created.
The winter of love
Then weather changes again, and winter comes. During the cold barren months of winter, all of our nature pulls back within itself. It is a time of rest, reflection, and renewal.
It is a time and relationships we experience only unresolved pain or our shadow self. It is when our lid comes off and our painful feeling emerge. It is a time of solitary growth when who need to look more to ourselves than to our partners for love and fulfillment. It is a time of healing, This is the time when men hibernate in their caves and women sink to the bottom of their wells.
After loving and healing ourselves through the dark winter of love, then spring inevitably returns. Once again, we are blessed with the feeling of hope, love and an abundance of possibilities. Based on our inner healing and soul searching of our winter journey, we are then able to open our hearts, and feel springtime of love.
愛情就象一座四季花園
愛情關系就像管理一座花園。想要花草繁盛就必須定時澆水，依不同的季節和不可預測的氣候給予特殊的照顧。同樣，要永浴愛河也必須了解愛情的四季，為愛情的特殊需求勤灌溉。
愛情的春天
戀愛就像春天，我們覺得好像會永遠快樂，無法想像自己會不愛自己的另一半。這是天真無邪的時刻，愛情是永恆的，每件事情似乎都很完美，每件工作的完成都不費吹灰之力，和愛人似乎是天生一對，我們融洽地一起跳舞、享受美好時光。
愛情的夏天
在整個愛情的夏天中，我們知道伴侶不如我們想像的完美，我們必須為婚姻關系努力。伴侶不只是另一個星球的人，也是會犯錯、有缺點的凡人。
挫折與失望提高了，雜草必須連根拔起，烈陽下的植物必須加倍澆水。愛與被愛不再那麼容易。我們發現我們並非永遠快樂，也非一直都能感受到愛。這現象和我們的愛情圖像不同。 許多的愛情在這時破滅了，他們不願意為這份關系努力，只是不切實際地期待永遠都是春天;他們譴責伴侶，放棄努力;他們不知道愛情並非永遠是那麼輕而易得，有時需在烈日下辛苦工作才會有結果。在愛情的夏天裡，我們必須灌溉伴侶的需求並向對方要求我們需要的愛。良好的關系不是天生的。
愛情的秋天
夏天辛勤照顧花園的結果，我們豐收了。秋天來了，這是個黃金季節——豐富且滿足。我們因了解與接受伴侶和我們一樣不完美，而體驗了成熟的愛。這是感恩與分享的時刻，夏天辛苦的工作使我們能輕松享受我們創造的愛。
愛情的冬天
氣候再轉變時，冬天來了。在這寒冷、貧瘠的日子裡，一切都自然回復原來的寂靜。這是休息、反省、更新的時刻。我們的關系在此時經歷了未解決的痛苦或隱藏的自己，當我們閉上眼睛，痛苦就浮現，這是自我尋找愛與滿足的孤獨成長時刻，這是治療時刻，也是男人去洞穴冬眠，女人沉入波浪之底的時刻。
在黑暗的冬天中愛護與治療自己後，春天又回來了。我們再次接受到希望、愛與無限可能的祝福。我們因冬天之旅做了內在治療與心靈追尋，而更能敞開心胸，感受愛情的春天。
關於愛情的英文段落賞析
Clouds had settled in on the frigid day. Their love was frozen, held in place. His loving stares and her fair love Could not conquer their stubborness. No matter how hard she tried she was ridiculed. All the signs he had shown with great care Were not perceived by other than her.
在寒冷刺骨的這天，密雲涌動。 他們的愛猶如被冰封，停滯不前。 他深情的凝視和她純真的愛， 都無法打破彼此間的頑固屏障。 無論她多努力，都免不了旁人的奚落。 他小心翼翼傳遞的所有愛的暗示， 除了她，別人都不以為意。
He had loved her for quite some time, And she well knew what he wanted. But how was she to speak up? How was he to get past his reputation to love her for real? She tried so hard to get past the stares Past the rumors and humored lies And he saw so well past and tried hard as well.
他對她的愛已非一朝一夕， 而她也清楚他所渴望得到的 但是她要如何說出口? 他要如何放下身份，真心真意地愛她? 她竭力忽視他的深情凝望， 忽視流言蜚語，以及甜蜜的謊言， 而他也非常努力，成功抵擋住這一切。
Like Romeo and Juliet they had moments. Silent and unknown moments where their eyes met, Hearts raced, and it was like love at first sight. But ala it just could not come through. Like Jack and Sally he could not see All she had done, all she sacrificed for him. Suffering and tattered her heart was when he would not look astray his work To catch a glimpse of the girl behind him, Darkness covered in her golden hair. Their personalities mixed and mingled, His status as a social king and she as a Fallen Angel Went so well with everything. And who was this girl you may ask? The Night of his Day? None other than me, who stands before you now. Cloaked in darkness and despair, waiting for the chance to show her love. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Uncertain she wa standing in the shadows. Whether or not they do fall deep in love, well now, it's just not that fair to know. Patient and innocent they shall wait; nothing else to do but wait.
就像羅密歐和朱麗葉，他們曾擁有美妙時刻。 那些靜謐的無名時刻，他們四目相投， 心如鹿撞，猶如一見情花開。 奈何啊，這段戀情只開花不能結果。 就像傑克和莎莉，他看不到， 她所做的一切，為他所做的犧牲。 她備受煎熬，心漸漸破碎，只因他心無旁騖，寄情工作， 也不看一眼他身後的那個女孩。 黑暗籠罩著她金色的頭發。 他們個性相投相容， 他在社交界如魚得水，而她則是“墮落天使” 一切都那麼美好。 你也許會問，這位姑娘是誰?他是白晝而她是黑夜? 那就是我，正站在你面前的這位姑娘。 她被陰暗和絕望纏繞，等待著示愛的機會。 可能今天，可能明天。她站在暗處，猶豫不定。 他們是否深墜愛河，現在，仍說不清道不明。 他們要耐著性子，單純天真地等待時機;什麼也做不了，只能等待。

One day,she began to take a bath,he stopped her at the door,"Let me take it first,okey?"
"Why not let me shower first,"she asked."I was tired,sweetie,you take it later,okey?"She was totally depressed.
On a morose day ,she found nothing to do and turned on his computer,a few words blurred her eyes...it was hs diary:
Today,I was quite sad,she asked me why I was always talking the bath first,and I said to her,I was exhausted.She was unhappy,in her mind,I treated her not as well as usual,but how can I do?I was nt as rich as before!We moved to the small apartment,there was only a shower in such a freezing winter.But I found that if one person took the shower first,the room could get a litter warm,so every time I rushed to the bathroom first.I was thingking that,when she took the shower,the room would get warmer,at least1℃,2℃or 3℃
.............
Now I can't give her comfortable life,bring her the luxur restaurant,buy expensive dressesfor her,but at least,I can give her 1℃love
一個寒冷的冬天，一對夫婦因為破產，所以不得不從豪宅里搬出。丈夫每天辛勤工作以維持家庭開支，但很少顧及到妻子。於是，妻子暗自想道：“他不再愛我了，他只在乎他的事業，而不是我。”
一天，妻子准備洗澡，可丈夫叫住了她，“讓我先洗吧。”“為什麼不讓我先洗呢?”“親愛的，因為我很累，你之後再洗吧”妻子為此很不開心。
一天，妻子無所事事，鬱郁寡歡，於是打開了丈夫的電腦。上面的幾行字讓她的眼睛濕潤了，那是他的 日記 。
今天，我很不開心，因為她問我為什麼總是我先洗澡，而我對她說，因為我太累了，想先洗。她肯定不高興了，覺得我對她不像以前那麼好了。但是我該怎麼做呢?我不像以前那麼有錢呀!我們搬到了一個小公寓，只有一個洗澡間，在這樣的冬天洗澡真是凍死人了。但我發現，如果一個人先洗的話，浴室就會暖和的，所以每次我都第一個沖進浴室。我想，等她進去浴室時，至少暖和一兩度吧。
現在，我不能給她舒適的生活，帶她去高級餐廳，給她買漂亮的衣服，但至少我還能給她1℃的愛情.

"Of all the misconceptions about love
the most powerful and pervasive (普遍深入的)is the belief that falling in love is love or at least one of the manifestations (顯現，表示)of love." -- M. SCOTT PECK
People who are married or in mitted relationships are healthier
wealthier
and happier. So why do more than 60 percent of marriages end in divorce? Why has the national divorce rate climbed more than 200 percent in the last thirty years? And why are fewer people getting married today than ever before?
The answers to these questions are plentiful
but the main reason is simple. It"s easy to "fall" in love
but very few people know how to stay in love. Even though staying in love is our " *** artest" choice all the way around! Recent studies on marriage prove it"s one of the major ingredients (成分，因素)in life-long success for men and women. "It lengthens life
substantially boosts (推進念茄戚)physical and emotional health
and raises ine over that of single or divorced people or those who live together
" reported an article in the New York Times. Marriage has also been found to boost happiness
rece the degree of depression
and provide protection from sexually tran *** itted diseases.
仔陵So let"s wake up
make up
and turn this trend around! One of the most startling (令人吃驚的)pieces of evidence that shows people are not in touch with (了解。。。的情況)what"s really going on in their partnerships is the fact that the majority of people who file (v.提出申請)for divorce say they didn"t think there was a relationship-threatening problem just six months prior to breaking up. Another shocker is that most couples wait six years or more to seek professional help when their relationship is in danger. By the time they do wake up and *** ell the coffee
it"s often too late.
Truly there is no reason to resign yourself to a bad relationship ? whether you"re dating or married. Rather than changing partners and ending up this same predicament (困境)again
you can learn to have a fabulous relationship with the partner you already have! I strongly encourage you to make the relationship you have work
because there is a higher rate of divorce and *** ery in second marriages.
Getting rid of your partner does not get rid of the problem
because half of the "problem" is yours. You can walk out on your marriage
but you can"t run away from yourself
no matter how hard you try! Rather than blaming each other
couples can learn how to work as a team and coach each other through the troubled times and power struggles. To do this
you must create a "safe" relationship so you can express your needs and fears and effectively resolve anger and conflict. More relationships break up because people don"t know how to validate (驗證)each other (that frustration escalates to bee anger) than for any other reason. This is truly a shame
because the skills for "fighting fair" are very easy to master with just a little practice and patience.
One of the biggest causes of unresolved anger beeen people is a lack of understanding. Men and women have different strengths and weaknesses
different ways of expressing ourselves
and different "childhood wounds" that we"re trying to heal. While it may seem like we"re from different plas we are actually very much alike when it es to our need and desire for love and intimacy. We only behave differently in our quests for (追求，探索)closeness. Stop doing what you think is "fair" or "right" and start doing what works! It"s not about "working harder" it"s about "working *** arter".
8. 求大神幫看一篇英語閱讀
整篇文章的大致意思是這樣的:
自第二次世界大戰以來，有一個明顯的趨勢，尤其是在越來越多的大學生群體，走向早期的婚姻。許多年輕人開始約會在青春期的第一階段，「穩定」，通過高中，結婚之前，他們的正式教育已經完成。在一些地方，有大震動的老齡化鎖著，中年人在「任性的方式」。然而，情感的成熟是不偏待生日；它不會自動到來在二十一或二零五。有些人做到這一點令人驚訝的早，而其他人從來沒有這樣做，即使在三分年和十。
許多學生結婚是為了逃避，不能只從一個令人滿意的家庭生活，但也從自己的個人問題的孤立和孤獨。它幾乎可以放下一個格言：任何婚姻作為一種逃避不能證明完全成功。可悲的事實是，婚姻很少能解決的問題；更多的時候，它只是強調他們。此外，這家機構是否能夠承載所有年輕人尋求投入是值得懷疑的；有人可能會說，在神學方面，他們離棄偶像崇拜的另一個。年輕人正確理解他們的父母都認為，「成功」是最終的好的錯誤，但他們錯誤地認為自己已經找到了真正的中心生活的意義。他們對婚姻的期望基本上是烏托邦式的，因此無法實現。他們想要的太多，和悲劇性的幻滅是必然。
我們，然後加入，「在早期的幾次婚姻不幸的「合唱？一個人不能概括：所有早期的婚姻都是不壞的，所有後來的人都是好的。令人滿意的婚姻不是由時間決定的，而是由伴侶的情感上的成熟決定的。因此，每一種情況都必須根據自己的優點來判斷。如果早期的婚姻是不是一個逃避，如果它是與相對較少的幻想或虛假的期望，如果它是在經濟上可行的，為什麼不呢？好的婚姻可以由十六到六十，所以可以不好的婚姻。

愛情英語經典短文篇2：你是怎樣的人，就配擁有怎樣的愛情
One thing you simply cannot ignore about your relationship is that there is another person in your life. Your partner is someone you have to care for, think about regularly, support and comfort.
在戀愛中有件不可忽視的事，就是在你的生活中還有另外一個人。這個人需要你關心、想念、支持和安慰。
If you are not fulfilling these ties, your partner will feel neglected and hurt. Relationships can feel strained when you are neither confident in yourself nor feel personal self-worth.
如果你沒有做到這些，你的另一半會感覺到被忽視和受傷。如果你既不自信也感覺不到自己的價值，那麼你們的愛情就會變得岌岌可危。
This is when you might feel overly dependent on a relationship, have low self-esteem and experience anxiety.
這時你在戀愛中會感覺極度依賴、自卑、焦慮。
So, what can you do when you feel yourself slipping into this pattern of emotional outbursts, self-doubt and dependency? Take time to self-reflect on your own life goals and ambitions.
那麼，當你感覺自己的這種情緒爆發、並自我懷疑、過分依賴時該怎麼辦呢?花些時間反省一下你自己的生活目標和理想吧。

If your goal is to switch jobs, start meeting with recruiters and networking. Making strides in your own life will allow you to be more present for someone else.

Feeling emotionally dependent on your partner is comparable to that dreadful feeling of heartbreak when a relationship collapses.
情感上過於依賴另一半，其傷害程度不亞於分手時心碎的可怕感覺。
That pressure you experience on your chest feels permanent, you feel confused and overwhelmed. You constantly feel hopeless and alone, even when your partner is in the room.
你胸口所感受到的壓力好像一直存在，你會感到困惑、不知所措。甚至當你的伴侶在房間里時，你也會不斷地感到絕望、孤單。
It is as if nothing anyone says or does is enough. This is because nothing anyone does can give you enough unless you feel love for yourself.
就好像任何人說什麼做什麼都不足以讓你感覺好起來，這是因為除非你自己感受到愛，否則任何人做的任何事都不能給你足夠的溫暖。
Your relationship will improve when you emit confidence and positive energy. When you feel valuable, it draws people in closer. When you feel down, depressed and low about yourself, it automatically drives people away.
當你散發出自信和正能量時你們的關系才會好轉。你感受到自我價值，才會吸引別人更靠近你。在你情緒低落、沮喪、消沉的時候，人們也會自動地遠離你。
You can even do an experiment in your own relationship. Next time you feel elated or proud of yourself, observe how your partner acts toward you. I guarantee you will notice a difference.
你甚至可以用自己的戀愛做一個試驗。下次你歡欣鼓舞、驕傲自豪的時候，觀察一下你的伴侶是如何對待你的，保證你會發現不同之處。
It is important to note that it is okay and healthy to somewhat rely on your partner, as you are a team and should work through issues together.
有一點需要注意的是，稍微依賴一點你的伴侶是可以的，也是明智的，因為你們是一個團隊，應該一起解決問題。
When you are upset, angry or feel self-conscious, it is part of your partner’s job deion to help support you as best as he or she can.
當你沮喪、生氣或不自在的時候，他/她應該盡其所能去支持你。
Not only is it the obligation of your partner, but it should also be a role he or she is more than happy to play. If you can’t rely on your partner to a certain degree, how can it be considered a loving relationship? You are basically friends with benefits.
這不僅是他/她的責任，也應該是他/她更樂意去做的。如果在某種程度上你不能依賴你的伴侶，那你們之間怎麼能稱之為相愛的關系呢?你們僅僅是利益之交罷了。
When you are in a relationship, it is okay to be vulnerable because you know your partner will be there for you and will not turn away when you are at your lowest.
你在戀愛中可以脆弱，因為你知道你的另一半會陪在你身邊，當你處於低谷時也不會離你而去。
So, how can we better understand this relationship? Think of it like this: First, you are happy on your own. You feel comfortable in your own skin and confident about your ambitions and goals.
所以，我們怎樣才能更好地理解這段關系?這樣來想一下：首先，你自己要快樂。要對自己的狀態釋然，並且對自己的理想和目標有信心。
Now, your partner enters into the picture. There is certainly an adjustment period, where you learn how to expose your inner thoughts and depend on someone other than yourself.
然後，你的伴侶進入了你的世界。當然會有一段調整期，你要學會表達內心的想法並依靠除你之外的那個人。
After a while, you should feel even more comfortable in our own skin and more ambitious and goal oriented. It should be the cherry on top of your already-delicious sundae.
一段時間之後，你應該會感覺更釋然，更雄心勃勃，目標也更明確。對你來說這應該是錦上添花。
If you start from there, you will have a healthy foundation on which to build a mutually-supportive relationship.
如果在此之上建立關系，那麼你會在一個健康的基礎上去建立一段相互扶持的關系。
Ideally, your partner, whom you love and care about, will ride alongside you on your path to success. In turn, you will support your partner to fulfill his or her own life ambitions.
情況理想的話，那個你愛著、關心著的伴侶會隨你一起邁向成功。反過來，你也會支持你的另一半去實現他/她的生活抱負。

10. 求以「愛情，婚姻，家庭，」為題的一篇英語作文
Love is an essential human attribute, which matures as indivial matures. Marriage is a natural and extremely effective milieu for the development of love. So the love between a man and a woman leads to a marriage. Marriage brings about a family. The family provides a framework for each family member to grow as a person in love and security. So it is reasonable to say that marriage is a bridge of love and family.
is the base of marriage, and marriage is the development of love. In the past, people used to marry without their own consent, that is, without their own experience of love, the parents arranged the marriage. Two persons, a man and a woman, who were entirely strangers, were united in wedlock, and became husband and wife. They had known nothing of each other before, and of course, love was a sealed book to both. This type of marriage often leads to unhappiness. Tragic stories about ill-matched couples were often heard. So love is the foundation of marriage, and a marriage without love won』t be a happy one. And nowadays, with the development of society, love becomes more noble, rich, fine and subtle.
Therefore, love is sometimes romantic; the lovers don』t pay too much attention to the trivial of daily life. Some people fall in love at first sight and rush into marriage. They usually neglect the commitment a marriage demands. They may come across with some problems in their marriage that is likely to end up with a divorce. This seems to prove that love in a marriage is not so romantic as one often imagines, but as practical as mutual respect and compromise in the common life of a family. Family in this sense is the extension of marriage. A family based on a marriage may last if it fulfills the function of reproction. However, nothing can be more effective for a family to fulfill its function than love. Love between a husband and a wife, love between parents and children and love between all the family members can pave the way for all the family to a bright future.
The families that could survive the hardships and develop from generation to generation are characterized by love and harmony. In a word, love is the base of marriage and family. One famous man once said,「 In a world of existence, there is indeed no greater power than the power of love.」 In a marriage, love needs to be manifested in a cooperative and sharing manner. And with a happy marriage, the family will be happy.
