①Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your lessons sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiling to you.

On a sunny morning, you plan to have a walk to relax yourself. Just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather. ②But dear friends, why not sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest.

Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, life isn’t a bed of roses. It’s very common to meet difficulties on the way to success. In fact difficulty isn’t terrible. The real terrible thing is that we are afraid of it. Difficulty is like a spring. If you are weak, it will be strong. So when you meet difficulties, don’t give up. Instead, you should face them with a smile.

Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic attitude, life is easy and pleasant. If you want to be happy, try to remember these five easy rules. Free your heart from hate; Free your mind from worries; Live an easy life; Give more; Expect less. The quickest way to receive happiness is to smile; the fastest way to lose it is to complain.

笑对人生

你曾经是否抱怨生活为什么如此令人厌倦?有时你又觉得天空为何如此阴暗,学业为什么不优秀?好啦,朋友们,振作起来,一直笑吧!如果你用一颗温暖的心看待世界,你就会发现整个世界都对你微笑!

在阳光明媚的早晨,你想出去散步放松一下。就在你出门之前,天突然下起雨来!也许你会感到难过,开始抱怨老天爷。但是亲爱的朋友,为什么不坐下来倾听大自然带给你的免费音乐会呢?(你知道)有了这场及时雨,地里的庄稼会长得更好,农民们会有更好的收成。

尽管人人都想成功于自己所努力做的事,但是生活并不是一切都那么如意,在通向成功的路上遇到困难太司空见惯了。实际上,困难并不可怕,真正可怕的是我们害怕困难。困难就像一根弹簧,你弱它就强。因此,当你遇到困难时,不要放弃;相反,你要微笑着面对。

态度决定一切。拥有乐观的态度,生活就会变得简单而愉悦。如果想要快乐,尽力记住这五条法则吧:让你的心灵没有仇恨;让你的思想免于忧虑;过心安理得的生活;多付出;少索取。收获快乐最快的方法是微笑;失去快乐最快的途径是抱怨!

难点解读:

1. Have you ever complained why life is so tiring?

你曾经是否抱怨生活为什么如此令人厌倦?

complain to sb. (about sth) 意为“向某人抱怨某事”。例如:

He complained to the waiter that his meal was cold.

他向服务员抱怨说饭菜是凉的。

2. But dear friends, why not sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you?

但是亲爱的朋友,为什么不坐下来倾听大自然带给你的免费音乐会呢?

句中that引导一个限制性定语从句,修饰先行词concert。而why not用于提出一个建议或对一个建议表示同意,意思是“为什么不……”。例如:

Why not go now? 現在就去好不好?

—Let’s go to the cinema.

——咱们去看电影吧。

—Why not?

——好哇。
