英语四级短文翻译欣赏：爱生活爱自己 每天给自己正能量

　　9. Chill Out

　　保持镇定

　　Why are you always in such a hurry? It is okay (and in fact necessary) to relax. Our brains can only handle so much. Quiet your inner-chatter， shut off all distractions， prepare a bubble bath， and get in with a good book. You earned it.

　　干嘛总这么急急躁躁?放松一下无可厚非，甚至还很有必要。大脑承受能力有限，所以停止在心里喋喋不休，屏蔽所有干扰，享受一次泡泡澡，读一本好书吧。你值得享受这些。

　　10. Pat Yourself on the Back

　　表扬自己

　　We are quick to judge ourselves for our mistakes yet we never seem to celebrate ourselves for our successes. Success doesn‘t come in the form of a life-altering Big Victory; instead， the path to success typically includes a whole lot of small victories. Be happy with every victory， no matter how small you might think it is， because this will help you feel confident and keep moving forward.

　　我们太急于为错误而自责，却很少因成功而奖励自己。成功并不是一蹴而就的，相反，它由无数小胜利组成。不论胜利多么微不足道，也都值得开心，因为这能增强信心，使你继续前进。

　　11. Take Care of Your Body

　　照顾好身体

　　Everything you eat has an influence on your mood and energy levels. If you‘re feeling depressed and exhausted， take an honest look at what you are eating. Everyone reacts differently to different foods， but with experimentation you can discover the fuel that results in the best performance.

　　饮食会影响情绪和精力。当你感到疲惫沮丧时，请如实反省自己吃了什么。食物及疗效因人而异。多加尝试，你会找到能提高效率的食物。

　　12. Dance

　　跳舞

　　Dance parties are always good ideas. Who says you need a partner? Crank up some 80′s jams or show-tunes and get moving. You might feel silly—you might even laugh at yourself—but it will be fun (and you know it)。

　　舞会向来受欢迎。谁说一定要有舞伴?换上便装、奏起音乐，就能翩然起舞。或许你觉得傻乎乎的，甚至忍不住嘲笑自己，但不管怎样，这确实很有意思!

　　13. Have Fun

　　开心玩乐

　　Life is not meant to be a never-ending to-do list. What makes you feel happy and excited? Do more of that. And before you claim you “don‘t have the time，” please realize that there is no such thing as “enough time in the day.” There is， however， a thing called priorities and making the time for fun is a priority if you want to be happy.

　　生活并不总是充满永无休止的工作任务。什么让你快乐开心?那就去做呗。先别说“没时间”，世上原本就没有所谓的“足够时间”;不过，你确实可以安排优先次序——当你渴望快乐时，就优先腾出玩乐时间吧。

　　14. Pay Attention

　　用心观察

　　When is the last time you really looked at the full moon and shining stars in the pitch black sky? What about the trees in your backyard that are the size of prehistoric dinosaurs? Have you picked a flower at the park lately (for the purpose of nasal delight or hair decoration)? You are surrounded by beautiful things.

　　上次仰望夜空中满月繁星，是什么时候?后院那棵像史前恐龙般壮硕的老树呢?最近有没有在公园摘朵花，只因花儿太香或忍不住想插发髻上?其实身边到处都是美好的事物呵!

　　15. Smile

　　微笑

　　Smile because you are worthy of love and happiness and free to have as much as your heart desires (and also you‘re going to have a hard time staying sad with that cute grin plastered on your face)。

　　微笑吧!因为你值得拥有爱和幸福，以及各种内心渴望。当然你也会遇到困难，可就算难过，也别忘了微笑!
