篇一
"安分"的大象

A number of years ago, I had the rather unique experience of being backstage in MadisonSquare Garden, in New York, ring the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. To saythe least, it was a fascinating experience. I was able to walk around looking at the lion tigergiraffes and all the other circus animals. As I was passing the elephant I suddenly stopped,confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a *** all rope tied totheir front leg. No chain no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, breakaway from their bonds but for some reason, they did not. I saw a trainer near by and askedwhy these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

多年前，在纽约的麦迪逊广场花园里，我走进了林林兄弟与巴纳姆贝利马戏团，拥有了一次相当独特的幕后经历。至少可以这样说，那是一次迷人的经历。我可以四处走动，看看狮子、老虎、长颈鹿和其他所有的马戏团动物。当我备局码走过那群大象时，我突然停了下来。这些庞然大物只是被一根小绳绑着它们的前肢，这事让我困惑不已。没有链条，没有笼子。显然，那群大象随时都能挣脱这种束缚，然而出于某种原因，它们并没有这样做。我看见附近有一位驯兽师，于是问他为何这些美丽的庞然大物只是站在那儿，一点也没有要逃跑的意图。

“Well,” he said, “when they are very young and much *** aller we use the same size rope totie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned tobelieve they cannot break away. They think the rope can still hold them, so they never try tobreak free.”

“噢，”他说道，“当它们还很年幼且个头比现在仿哪小得多的时候，我们就用同样大小的绳子绑住它们。在那个年龄，这样的绳子足以拴住它们。而随着年月增长，它们出于惯性而深信自己无法逃跑，仍然认为那根绳子能够拴住它们，于是便不再试图挣脱了。”

I was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but becausethey believed they could not, they were stuck right where they were.

我很是惊讶。这些动物随时都能挣脱他们身上的束缚，但却因为它们相信自己没有那个能力，结果让自己一直受困其中。

Like the elephant how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot dosomething, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us are being held back byold, outdated beliefs that no longer serve us? Have you avoided trying something new becauseof a limiting belief? Worse, how many of us are being held back by someone else's limitingbeliefs? Do you tell yourself you can't sell because you're not a salesperson?

我们中有多少人何尝不像这些大象那样一辈子将自己禁锢于一种认为自己做不到的信念，而仅仅因为我们曾经失败过?我们中又有多少人被那些陈旧过时、不再对我们有所帮助的信念所阻拦?你是否曾经因为一种自我束缚的观念而避免尝试一些新事物?更糟的是，我们中有多少人因为他人的狭隘观念而固步自封?你是不是告诉过自己你无法推销因为你不是个天生的推销员?

Particularly in starting or running a busines we are cautioned not to take risk usually by wellintentioned friends and family. How many of us have heard, “You can't do that”? These are thedream stealers who, e to their own limiting belief will attempt to discourage you from livingyour dreams. You must ignore them at all cost! I am not suggesting that you should not seekadvice from qualified indivials and mentor but that you avoid like the plague being swayedby the limiting beliefs of other especially people who are not in their own business.

尤其是在创业初始或是经营某项生意时，我们会被警告不要冒险，而这些警告通常来自我们那些出于好意的朋友和家人。我们中有多少人曾经听到过诸如“你不能那样做”的话?这些都是偷走梦想的人，他们出于个人的狭隘观念，会试图打击你实现梦想的壮志。你必须不惜任何代价来忽视他们!我并非说不去咨询请教于那些够资格给你意见的人或导师，但你就该像躲避瘟疫似地避免被那些想法局限的人所动摇，特别是那些并非自己创业营商的人。

Challenge your own limiting beliefs by questioning them. If you begin to question a belief,you automatically weaken it. The more you question your limiting belief the more they areweakened. It's like kicking the legs out from under a stool. Once you weaken one leg, the stoolbegins to lose its balance and fall. Think back to a time when you “sold” someone on yourself.We are selling all the time. You have to sell your ideas to your spouse, your children, and youremployees—even your banker. Maybe, as a child, you sold Girl Scout cookies or magazinesubscriptions to raise money for your school team. That was selling too!

对那些自我束缚的想法提出质疑，挑战那些观念。当你开始质疑一种观念时，你就是在开始削弱其力量。你越是质疑那些狭隘的观念，就越能削弱其力量。这就像踢掉凳子下面的凳腿。一旦你踢松了其中一条凳腿，整张凳子就开始失去平衡，接而倒塌。回想一下从前你是怎样独自向某人“推销”一些东西的。我们无时不在推销。你得把自己的想法推销给你的另一半、你的孩子和你的雇员……甚至是你的银行经理。也许，在孩童时期，你卖过女童子军饼干或是推销过杂志订阅，以此来为你的校队筹集资金。那也是一种推销!

Once you realize you are, in fact, a capable salesperson, you have weakened that old beliefand begun to replace it with a new, empowering one. Look for references to support the newbeliefs you want to cultivate. As in the example of the stool, you want to rerce yourbeliefs by adding more and more “legs” to them. Find people who have acplished what youwant to acplish, discover what they did and model their behavior. Remember back to timesin your past when you were successful and use that experience to propel yourself forward. Ifyour challenge is in sale read sales books and listen to tapes or attend sales seminars. This isa critical area of your busines one that cannot be undermined by limiting beliefs.

一旦你意识到自己其实是个能干的推销员，你就已经削弱了那种陈旧的观念，而开始以一种崭新且使你充满力量的观念取而代之。查询相关的资料来支撑你想培养的新观念。就像那凳子的比喻，你想加强你的新观念，那你就给它新增更多的“腿”。寻找那些已经达成你心中目标的人，发掘他们过去的做法，并且模仿他们的行为。回想那些你曾经获得成功的时光，并以那些经历来鼓舞自己前进。如果你的难题在于销售，就阅读有关推销的书籍，听听有关销售的磁带资料，或是参加一些推销研讨会。这是你事业的关键领域，是不能被那些局限的观念所破坏的。

There is a technique called “fake it until you make it” that works well. I am not suggestingyou live in denial, just that you begin to see yourself succeeding. Visualize your successes. Seeyourself vividly in your mind's eye making the sale and reaching your goals. Affirm, over andover, that you are succeeding.

有一种叫作“先假装，后实现”的技巧，效果很好。我并不是在建议你自欺欺人地生活，只是想让你从一开始就假想自己在迈向成功，想象自己的成功。在头脑里逼真地想象自己在推销，达成目标。一次次地确认自己正迈向成功。

Write your affirmations daily. Of course, make sure that you take the appropriate actions.As it says in the Bible, “Faith without works is dead.”

每天自我肯定一番。当然，得确保自己采取了恰当的行动。正如《圣经》里所说的：“没有付诸实践的信念是死的。”

Remember that your subconscious mind does not know the difference between real andimaginary. Before you go on a sales call, take a moment and mentally rehearse the scene,just like actors and athletes do. Tell yourself, “I'm a great salesperson.” Do this over and over,especially just before a sales call. See the sale being made. See and feel the success. You will bepleasantly amazed at the result. Don't take my word for it. Give it a try. You have nothing tolose and everything to gain.

记住，你的潜意识并不清楚真实和幻想之间的差别。在你要打一通推销电话前，花一点时间在脑海里预演一下那情景，就像演员和运动员所做的那般。告诉你自己：“我是个伟大的推销员。”反复地这样做，特别是在打一通推销电话前的片刻。幻想在进行推销，幻想成功，感受成功。你将会为其结果感到惊讶和欣喜。别光听我说，你去试试。你不会有任何损失，却会收获一切。

It has been said throughout history that whatever you believe with conviction, you canachieve. Don't be like the poor elephant and go through your life stuck because of a limitingbelief you were given or developed years ago. Take charge of your life and live it to the fullest.You deserve the best!

从古至今，人们一直都在说，只要你深信不疑，就能达成所愿。别像那只可怜的大象，一辈子受困于一种多年前别人给予你的狭隘观念，又或是多年前养成的桎梏信念。掌控你的人生，充分地把握每分每秒。你值得拥有最棒的人生!
篇二
elephant

elephants are like us in some ways. they live for a long time -- fifty or sixty years. they can remember things very well. they never forget sadness or great happiness for many months.

elephants are like us, but they are also different.

they live in families: families of females. there will be a few young males--a few baby boys. but the females will soon send them away. an elephant family keeps only its daughters,

mothers, grand-mothers and its great-grandmothers.they stay together for fifty, sixty.., a hundred years. the older animals look after the young ones. the mothers teach their daughters and set a good example.

and what happens to male elephants? well, the young males stay with their mothers for a time. then they must leave the family. the females just send them away. a bull elephant doesn't often have a friend. he lives apart, away from the family, and often away from other bulls.

sometimes the females call a bull. he can visit them then, and stay for a time. but soon his "wives" and sisters send him away again. the females have a very happy familly life. what do the bulls think about it? we don't know.

[参考译文]

大象

大象有些地方跟我们很像。他们的寿命很长，一般活五十到六十年。他们的记忆非常好，常常好几个月忘不掉一件伤心事或高兴的事。

大象和我们很相像，但也有不同之处。

他们也是以家庭的形式生活，但家庭是由女性组成的。有时也会有一两只幼公象在家，但母象很快将他们赶走。大象家庭只有女儿，母亲、年纪小的，母亲教育女儿并以身作则。

那公象们怎么办呢?幼公象与母亲呆上一段时间，然后必须离开家。母象们将他们赶出家门。公象一般没有朋友。他独自一人生活，远离家人，而且远离其他公象。 有时候，母象们召一头公象来。他来做上一阵客，住上一段日子，但很快他的妻子们和姐妹们又把他赶走。母象们过著幸福快乐的家庭生活。公象们会怎么样想呢?我们无法知道。

⑶ 有关大象的英语短文

Briefed the African elephant and Asian elephant:
Alt elephant in Africa is indeed tough, the general weight of 4 tons or more, the large, nearly 10 tons. In recent years, studies have shown that there are two kinds of the African elephant: the African elephant and the African forest elephant grasslands. Common on the African savannah elephant is the world's largest terrestrial mammal, big ears and the lower tip, regardless of male and female have long, curved ivory, temperament and temper, will take the initiative to attack other animals.

According to the recent genetic analysis to prove that it and the African elephant is not the same types of grassland. The African elephant and the African forest elephant grasslands have a significantly different genetic characteristics, characteristics of their appearance, there are big differences: the smaller forest elephant shape, ear round, ivory and pink in color than the straight.

Average life expectancy of 60-70 years. 非洲成年象确实强悍，一般体重4吨以上，大的可将近十吨。近年来研究表明非洲象有两种：非洲草原象和非洲森林象。常见的非洲草原象是世界上最大的陆生哺乳动物，耳朵大且下部尖，不论雌雄都有长而弯的象牙，性情及其暴躁，会主动攻击其他动物。
非洲森林象耳朵圆，个体较小，一般不超过2.5米高，前足5趾，后足4趾（和亚洲象相同），象牙质地更硬。最近根据基因分析证明它和非洲草原象不是同一个种类。非洲草原象和非洲森林象有着明显不同的遗传特征，其外表特征也有很大的差别：森林象体形较小，耳圆，象牙较直且呈粉红色。过去在非洲雨林中还发现过体形更小的倭象，现在被认为是非洲森林象的未成熟个体。足下肉变大，更适应缺水的生活，非常知道节约用水，而且会在沙漠中寻找水源。
非洲象是陆地上体形最大的哺乳动物。雄性和雌性非洲象呈二态性（雌雄两性在体形或身体特征上都有所不同）。雄性肩高约3米（9．8英尺），重约5000－6000公斤（11000－13200磅），而雌性肩高约2．5米（8．2英尺）重约3000－3500公斤（6600－7700磅）。平均寿命60-70岁。
