公共英語(yǔ)PETS二級(jí)閱讀復(fù)習(xí)(15)

　　Such expressions as "Love thyself" and "to thine own self be true" are about self-acceptance and confidence, as well as honesty and morality. We should consider them to be good advice, and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within.

　　象“珍愛自己”、“忠于自我”就是自我認(rèn)同、自信的一種說(shuō)法，也是對(duì)自己誠(chéng)實(shí)與道德的一種表達(dá)。我們應(yīng)該把它們當(dāng)作金玉良言，并看作是通往內(nèi)心幸福之路的路標(biāo)。

　　Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves is also a sign of personal growth. We cannot change our height, so why waste energy complaining about being short? Our energy would be better spent on more constructive projects. Instead of dwelling on personal characteristics we are not satisfied with, we ought to focus more on what we are good at.

　　能認(rèn)清我們無(wú)法改變自己這個(gè)事實(shí)也是一個(gè)人成熟的表現(xiàn)。既然我們不能改變自己的身高，那么又何必浪費(fèi)力氣抱怨自己長(zhǎng)得矮呢?把我們的精力用在更有建設(shè)性的計(jì)劃上會(huì)更好。與其在自己不滿意的個(gè)人特征上鉆牛角尖，不如把精力放到我們擅長(zhǎng)的事情上。
