2、thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in shakespeare because hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. to be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely. a philosopher

3、 once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. he answered it by saying: 1 think, therefore am. but the best definition of existence ever saw did another philosopher who said: to be is to be in relations. if this true, then the

4、 more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. to live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity of our relations. unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. but apart from our regular occupation how much are we alive? if you are interest-ed onl

5、y in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. so far as other things are concerned-poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs-you are dead. contrariwise, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest-even more, a new a

6、ccomplishment-you increase your power of life. no one who is deeply interested in a large variety of subjects can remain un-happy, the real pessimist is the person who has lost interest. bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. but we gain new life by contacts, new friends. what is

7、supremely true of living objects is only less true of ideas, which are also alive. where your thoughts are, there will your live be also. if your thoughts are confined only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to the narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a na

8、rrow cir-conscribed life. but if you are interested in what is going on in china, then you are living in china if youre interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people, if you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surro

9、undings and living in a world of passion and imagination. to be or not to be-to live intensely and richly, merely to exist, that depends on ourselves. let widen and intensify our relations. while we live, let live! 六字名言 威廉里昂费尔浦斯 "是活还是不活。'假如把.除外，这六个字便是整个世界文学中最出名的六个字了。这六个字是哈姆雷特一次喃喃自语时说的，而这六个字

10、也就成了莎士比亚作品中最出名的几个字了，由于这里哈姆雷特不仅道出了他自己的心声，同时也代表了一切有思想的男男女女。是活还是不活是要生活还是不要生活，是要生活得丰满改善，兴味盎然，还是只是活得枯燥委琐，贫乏无味。一位哲人一次曾想弄清他自己是否是在活着，这个问题我们每个人也大可时常地问问我们自己。这位哲学家对此的答案是： "我思故我在。' 但是关于生存我所见过的一条最好的定义却是另一位哲学家下的："生活即是联系。'假如这话不假的话，那么一个有生命者的联系越多，它也就越有生气。所谓要活得丰富改善也即是要扩大和加强我们的各种联系。不幸的是，我们往往会由于天性不够丰厚

11、而简单陷入自己的陈规旧套。试问除去我们的日常工作，我们的真正生活又有多少?假如你只是对你的日常工作才有爱好，那你的生趣也就很有限了。至于在其它事物方面一比如诗歌、散文、音乐、美术、体育、无私的友情、政治与国际事务，等等你只是死人一个。 但反过来说，每当你获得一种新的爱好甚至一项新的造诣你就增长了你的生活本事。一个能对许很多多事物都深感爱好的人是不行能总不开心的，真正的悲观者只能是那些丢失爱好的人。 培根曾讲过，一个人失去伴侣即是死亡。但是靠着交往，靠着新朋，我们就能获得再生。这条对于活人可谓千真万确的道理在肯定程度上也完全适用于人的思想，它们也都是活的。你的思想所在，你的生命便也在那里。假如你

12、的思想不出你的业务范围，不出你的物质利益，不出你所在城镇的狭隘圈子，那么你的一生便也只是多方受着局限的狭隘的一生。但是假如你对当前中国那里所发生的种种感到爱好，那么你便可说也活在中国;假如你对一本佳妙小说中的人物感到爱好，你便是活在一批极好玩的人们中间;假如你能聚精会神地听点好的音乐，你就会超脱出你的四周环境而活在一个布满.与想象的奇妙世界之中。 是活还是不活活得热闹活得丰富，还是只是简洁存在，这就全在我们自己。但愿我们都能不断阔展和增加我们的各种联系。只要一天我们活着，就要一天是在活着。 经典的优秀英语美文：西方婚礼有旧有新有借有蓝 the wedding tradition ofsomet

24、独特的涵义，但都能够给新婚夫妇带来吉利和财宝。你曾想过这种说法究竟是什么意思吗?是如何起源的?每件服饰各有何涵义? 最初的说法源自维多利亚时代，原文是："有旧，有新，有借，有蓝;在一只鞋里放一枚六便士的银币。' 有旧新娘可以穿着或佩戴一样旧衣物来象征她和她娘家及过去生活之间的历史纽带。很多新娘佩戴一件家传的珠宝饰品作为"有旧'的选择。有些新娘穿着她们母亲或祖母穿过的结婚礼服。事实上，旧的东西同时也可以是借来的东西。 有新穿戴一样新衣物是要象征新娘在新生活和婚姻中拥有胜利和盼望。假如新娘置办的是新的结婚礼服，那它就可以是她的"有新'，但是任何
