U.S. President George Bush talked Saturday about the agenda for next month's international economic summit at the White House.

美国总统布什星期六谈论了下个月在白宫举行的国际经济高峰会议的议程。

President Bush devoted his weekly radio address to previewing his meeting with other leaders of the so-called Group of 20 nations on the global economic crisis.

　

布什总统利用每周例行的广播讲话向听众介绍了他跟所谓20国集团中其他领导人开会商讨全球经济危机的安排。

"During the summit we will discuss the causes of the problems in our financial systems, review the progress being made to address the current crisis, and begin developing principles of reform for regulatory bodies in institutions related to our financial sectors," he said.

　

布什说：“在这次峰会期间，我们将讨论我们金融系统出现问题的原因，审议在解决目前这场危机过程中正在取得的进展，并着手制定与我们的金融部门相关的管制机构改革的原则。”

Earlier in the week, Mr. Bush invited leaders of wealthy nations and the heads of major developing economies to the White House on November 15, to focus on the global financial crisis. Administration officials see the summit as the first in a series of meetings on the global economy. The president said Saturday the meeting will give world leaders a chance to sit in one room and discuss the situation.

　

这个星期早些时候，布什邀请富裕国家领导人和主要发展中经济实体的首脑11月15号到白宫，重点讨论全球性金融危机问题。布什政府官员认为，这次峰会在一系列有关全球经济的会议中是首开先例的。布什总统星期六说，这次会议给世界各国领导人提供了一个机会，大家得以会聚一堂，共商目前的局势。

"While the specific solutions pursued by every country may not be the same, agreeing on a common set of principles will be an essential step towards preventing similar crises in the future," he said.

　

布什说：“尽管每个国家执行的具体方案可能各不相同，但是各国就一套普遍适用的原则达成共识是防止今后发生类似危机的必要步骤。”

The summit will include the leading industrialized nations, plus emerging economies such as Brazil, India, China and South Africa. Mr. Bush said he will push hard for the principles of free trade.

　

参加这次峰会的有主要工业化国家，加上巴西、印度、中国和南非等新兴经济体。布什说他将努力推行自由贸易原则。

"Open market policies have lifted standards of living and helped millions of people around the world escape the grip of poverty," he said. "These policies have shown themselves time and time again to be the surest path to creating jobs, increasing commerce and fostering progress. And this moment of global economic uncertainty would be precisely the wrong time to reject such proven methods for creating prosperity and hope."

　

布什说：“开放市场的政策提高了人民的生活水平，帮助世界各地几百万人摆脱贫穷的束缚。这些政策一再自我证明，它们是创造就业机会、促进商业以及鼓励发展的最可靠途径。在全球经济目前处在不确定性的时刻，拒绝这些已经得到验证的创造繁荣和希望的途径，绝对是不合时宜的。”

White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said earlier in the week both presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama, have been informed about plans for the initial summit. She said there was no decision on whether the winner of the November 4 election will attend.

　

白宫新闻秘书佩里诺这个星期早些时候说，约翰.麦凯恩和巴拉克.奥巴马这两位总统候选人已经被告知这个首次峰会的各项安排。她说，还没有决定11月4号总统选举的获胜者是否出席这次峰会。

失落的浪漫-秋之湖

我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候。秋叶翻飞，飘落一地。我们曾经孩子般戏水畅游过的小湖盖满落叶，在太阳下闪着光。那时我们幸福过。可事实上你早就想离开我，在那美丽的夜晚，眼望湖水，恍惚中听见你说：我们的爱情故事已到尽头……

I remember quite clearly now when the story happened.
我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候。
The autumn leaves were floating in measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were.

秋叶翻飞，飘落一地。我们曾经孩子般戏水畅游过的小湖盖满落叶，在太阳下闪着光。那时我们幸福过。哦，我是这样认为的。
But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely conscious, you said: Our love story is ending.
可事实上你早就想离开我，只是不敢告诉我罢了。在那美丽的夜晚，眼望湖水，恍惚中听见你说：我们的爱情故事已到尽头。

The rain was killing the last days of summer; you had been killing my last breath of love since a long time ago. I still don't think I'm gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me.
雨水扼杀着所剩无几的夏日，而你很久以来也在扼杀我奄奄一息的爱。我仍不认为自己会再去经历另一段爱情故事。你把一切都带走了。

And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I'm watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.
我只有，悄然伫立，早已明白自己将会是那个被遗弃的人。而我依然凝望着湖水，恍惚中，生命正离我而去。

27 WINTER 冬日的温暖

Welcome to the most easily misunderstood season of all, winter, a beautiful season of intimacy and reflection. I’m Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax.
欢迎来到这个最易被误解的季节，冬季。这是一个可以亲密相处，同时又可以静下心来思考的美丽季节。我是Faith轻松电台主持人Faith。

Winter gives us the opportunity to stay inside and look outside, as we're not called outdoors to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. Snuggle up in the sofa, put a blanket over you, have a cup of hot cocoa, and enjoy the observations on this precious season…
当我们没有出外享受温暖和阳光时，冬季为人们创造了一个呆在室内，观察室外的机会。铺条毯子在身上，卷曲在沙发上，喝着一杯热可可，享受着观察这个美丽季节之快乐。

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: It is the time for home.
冬季是一个享受舒适，美食与温馨的季节。冬季也是传递友谊的季节，冬季还是围坐在火炉旁谈天说地的季节。冬季是享受家之温暖的季节。

During the winter I am content，or try to think I am. There is a wonderful joy in leaving behind the noisy city streets and starting out along the white road that leads across the hills. With each breath of the sharp, reviving air one seems to inhale new life. A peace as evident as the sunshine on the fields takes possession of one's inner being. The trivial cares are driven away by the first sweep of wind that comes straight from the mountains. The intense silence that broods over the snow-bound land is a conscious blessing from the nature.
在冬季，我很满足，或自认为满足。把喧闹的城市街区抛在身后，沿着白皑皑的公路前往山岗。在每一次强烈，复苏的呼吸下，整个人也好像注入了新生。照射在田野上的宁静的阳光同时也感染了我们的内心世界。从山岗上径直吹来的第一丝风也将心中琐碎的烦恼一并吹走。白雪覆盖着的大地显得分外寂静，这是一份来自大自然的祝福。

Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter: Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.
有时我们的命运就像冬天里的一棵果树：当时，谁会去想这棵果树的枝叶会再次变绿，开花，但我们一直怀有希望，并坚定着信念。

Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax on Valentine’s Day, I’m Faith. Today, let’s talk about teenage love-our first love. Some people think of Teen Love and smile. It's not reallove, they say. Puppy Love, they call it. Those people, I think, have very short memories, and no longer recall the realities of their first love experiences. While few expect teen love to last a lifetime that hardly makes it less real. Half or more of all adult love doesn't last a lifetime either.

Teen love is very real, and powerful. Perhaps at no other time in our lives are the joys and pains felt as strongly, or experienced more deeply. Who among us, after all, can ever forget our first love?

Just One Song

That night the stars were out.

That night I fell in love.

I fell in love with you.

All it took was just one song.

You might not have known it,

But yes it is true.

It was just one song

That made me love you.

We danced to that song,

It was so sweet.

It felt like it was

Just you and me.

Everyone went away.

Nothing really mattered.

You held me so close.

It was "Always and Forever".

I remember the song.

I play it everyday.

Just hoping one day,

We can be together.

And all it took was

Just one Song

 

 

18 Start Over 重新开始

Hi, welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to relax.  I’m Faith.
Hi ，欢迎来到Faith轻松电台，我是Faith。
One of my students asked me awhile ago what I was really good at. Half kidding, I responded, "Starting over!"
不久前，我的一个学生问我最擅长的是什么。我半开玩笑似的回答，“重新开始！”
The reason I was only HALF kidding is because I am very familiar with starting over. I've started over in business. I've started over financially and in my career.
半开玩笑的原因是我非常熟悉重新开始。我的生意、经济和职业生涯都曾重新开始过。

And unless you live a spectacularly blissful life, at some point--usually many points--in your life, you'll need to start over, too.
如果你不是过着一个非常有福的生活，在你的生活中的某个时候---通常在你的生活中的很多时候---，你一样必须重新开始。
 We all do--in big things and in small.
我们都要重新开始—不管是大事还是小事

 A project gets delayed or terminated. We get laid off, downsized, right-sized or repurposed. We go off our diet or our exercise program. Hurricanes, tornadoes, cancer, the flu--all sorts of catastrophes and inconveniences can thwart or stop our forward progress--sometimes sending us all the way back to the starting line.
计划被延迟或终止。我们被解雇，裁减或重安置。我们没心思吃饭或实践计划。 飓风，暴雨，癌症，流感 --各种灾难及厄运阻碍了我们前进的步伐--有时它们甚至会把我们打回原点
 But you can't let it stop you. To be successful you must become and remain resilient.
但你不能让它阻挠你。 要获得成功，你必须练就得不屈不挠。

 Hardly anything goes the way we hope or plan that it will. I'm being realistic. Setbacks, roadblocks and disappointments are just part of the natural ebb and flow of life.
不是每件事都按照我们期望和计划的发展。我们必须面对现实。挫折、障碍和不满仅是沉沉浮浮的生活的一部分。

Every day is a new day. And it's a good thing because it's another opportunity to start over again every day. It matters little what's happened. But it matters a LOT what we do not
每天都是新的一天。每天都是一个重新再开始的机会。每天将要发生什么无关紧要，重要的是我们还没做什么。

 

１４ Write Your Own Life 谱写生命的乐章

Suppose someone gave you a pen - a sealed, solid-colored pen.
假如有人送你一支笔，一支不可拆卸的单色钢笔.
You couldn't see how much ink it had. It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don't know before you begin.
里面究竟有多少墨水看不出。或许在你试探性地写上几个字后它就会枯干，或许足够用来创作一部影响深远的不朽巨著(或是几部)。而这些，在动笔前，都是无法得知的。

Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance! Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.
在这个游戏规则下，你真的永远不会预知结果。你只能去碰运气！事实上，这个游戏里没有规则指定你必须要做什幺。相反，你甚至可以根本不去动用这支笔，把它扔在书架上或是抽屉里让它的墨水干枯。

But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?
但是，如果你决定要用它的话，你会用它来做什幺呢？你将怎样来进行这个游戏呢?
Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?
你会不写一个字，老是计划来计划去吗？你会不会由于计划过于宏大而来不及动笔呢?

Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just doit, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you?
或者你只是手里拿着笔，一头扎进去写，不停地写，艰难地随着文字汹涌的浪涛而随波逐流？

Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe (or pretend to believe) that the pen will write forever and proceed accordingly?
你会小心谨慎的写字，好象这支笔在下一个时刻就可能会干枯；还是装做或相信这支笔能够永远写下去而信手写来呢？

You're listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I'm Faith.Now, suppose someone gave you a life...

13 Dream-A Passion within You 梦想-你心中永远的激情
Hi, welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I'm Faith. It's December, so the most of the year is now behind us. But there's a new year coming up, which will give us time to live, to love, to give, and to make our dreams come true.
大家好，欢迎来到Faith轻松电台， 我是Faith。现在已经是12月了，今年很快就要过去了，新的一年即将来临，它会带给我们更多的时间去生活，去热爱，去给予，以及去实现我们的梦现。
What kinds of dreams will you turn to reality in your life?
那么在你的生活中，你有什么样的梦想要去实现呢？

Everyone - every person in this world has a Dream: a passion, a vision in their life that pulls them and urges them to move forward in life. You, my friend have this vision within you, it "whispers" to you occasionally, but in some cases it cries out. It cries out to be listened to and acted upon because this vision comes from your soul.
每个人-这个世界上的每一个人都有一个梦想：一种激情，一种他们对生活的渴望，就是这个渴望推动着他们向前。你，我的朋友，在你的内心深处也有一种这样的渴望，它会时而轻声向你呼唤，但有时，它会大声呼喊出来，以便唤起你的醒觉，因为这种渴望来自你的灵魂。

Within this "Inner Vision" there lies the magic of living your life with passion, fulfillment and purpose. This means being true to who you really are - and living your life on purpose with all the passion and energy you are capable of living.
在这个心灵深处的渴望中隐藏着在激情，实现自我，以及梦想中生活的魔力。它意味着做一个真实的你，在你所能挥展的激情和能量下朝你的梦想努力。
When you live from your inner passions - you'll never have to seek approval from others - you'll "chart your own course" and be the master of your own destiny. More importantly, you'll feel whole, connected and inspired.
当你生活在你内心深处的激情中时，你不必寻求他人的赞同，你能够画出你自己的蓝图，并成为你命运的主宰。更重要的是，你会感觉到一个完整，不孤独，有激情的你。

You're listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I'm Faith. Find your inner fire, your sense of purpose; this fire will help you harness strengths you're not even aware you have. Be connected with your inner passions - your Life's Dreams, and live that passion daily. 
你正在收听的是Faith轻松电台，我是Faith。找到你内心深处的永不熄灭的火花-你生活的梦想；这火花会帮助你塑造出你从未意识到你曾拥有的强大力量。拥抱你内心深处的激情-你生活的梦想，每天都生活在那激情中吧！

6.2 Wake up your life唤醒你的生活

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, 多年前,当我第一次找工作时,不少明智之士强烈向我建议:

“Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were. “巴巴拉,要有热情!热情比任何经验都更有益.”这话多么正确.

Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” Wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. “没有热情就不会有任何伟大的成就,”拉尔夫.沃尔多.爱默生写道.

It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. 当事情进展不顺时,热情是帮助你坚持下去的粘合剂.
It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t.” 当别人叫喊你不行时,热情是你内心发出的声音: “我能行”.

It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. 1983年诺贝尔医学奖的获得者`遗传学家巴巴拉.麦克林托克早年的工作直到很多年后才被公众所承认.但她并没有放弃实验.

Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. 工作对她来说是一种如此巨大的快乐,她从未想过要停止它.

We are all born with wide-eyes, enthusiastic wonder我们都生来好奇,睁大眼睛,满怀热情

as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle.—每一个看到过婴儿听到钥匙声或看见乱爬的甲虫就兴奋不已的人都会明白这一点.

It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. 正是这种孩子气的好奇给了热情的人们一种青春的气息.
At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. 大提琴家帕布罗.卡萨尔斯在90岁还坚持以拉巴赫开始他的每一天.
As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. 音乐从他的指间流出,他弯着的背挺直起来,欢乐再度溢满他的眼眸.

Music, for Casals, was an elixir that made life a never ending adventure.

音乐对卡萨尔斯来说,是使人生变成无止境的探索之旅的灵丹妙药.
As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, “Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” 就像作家兼诗人塞缪尔.厄尔曼曾写过的:岁月使皮肤起皱,但如果推动热情,便会使灵魂起皱.

How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself. 怎样才能找回孩提时代的热情呢?我相信答案就在热情这个词本身.

“Enthusiasm” comes from the Greek and means “God within.” 热情一词源于希腊语,原意是内在的上帝.
And what is God within is but an abiding sense of love—proper love of self and, from that, love of others. 这里所说的内在的上帝不是别的,而是一种持久不变的爱—恰当的自爱,并推而及于他人.

Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. 热情的人们同样热爱他们所做的事,而不是考虑钱`位`权.
If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, 如果我们不能把热爱的事作为正式职业,我们也可把它当作业余消遣:

like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture. 比如有国家元首喜欢画画的,有修女参加马拉松长跑的,有行政官员手工制作家具的.

Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Ka, was 68 before she began to draw. 堪萨斯州韦尔斯维尔市的伊丽莎白.莱顿到68岁才开始画画.
This activity ended bouts of depression that had plagued her for at least 30 years, 这一爱好消除了曾纠缠她至少达30年之久的忧郁症.

and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am tempted to call Layton a genius.” 而她的作品水准之高使得一个评论家说: “我忍不住要称莱顿为天才.”

Elizabeth has rediscovered her enthusiasm. 伊丽莎白又找回了她的热情.

We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens.” 我们不应该把眼泪浪费地”早该”之类的后悔上.
We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be.” 我们需要把眼泪化为汗水,去追求可能之物.

We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses—我们需要以全副身心去度过生命中的每一分钟—

finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. 在后花园的芬芳中`在六岁小孩的蜡笔画中`在彩虹醉人的美中找到快乐.
It is such enthusiastic love of like that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smooths the wrinkles from our souls. 正是这种对生活的热爱,让我们双目有神,让我们步履矫健,让我们灵魂的皱纹展平.

 

  
5.6 You are What You D行为决定命运

If the past has taught us anything, it is that every cause brings effect—every action has a consequence.
如果过去的日子曾经教过我们些什么的话,那便是有因必有果—每一个行为都有一种结果.
This thought, in my opinion, is the moral foundation of the universe; it applies equally in this world and the next.
依我之见,这种观念是宇宙的道德基础,适用于今生也适用于来世.

We Chinese have a saying: “If a man plants melons, he will reap melons; if he sows beans, he will reap beans.”
我们中国人有句谚语说: “种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆.”
And this is true of every man’s life: good begets good, and evil leads to evil.而这正是每个人生活的写照:善有善报,恶有恶报.

True enough, the sun shines on the saint and sinner alike, and too often it seems that the wicked wax and prosper.
说实在,圣人与罪人皆会受到阳光的披泽,而且常常似乎是恶者大行其道.
But we can say with certitude that, with the individual as with the nation, the flourishing of the wicked is an illusion,
但是我们可以确信地说,不管是对个人或是对国家而言,恶人猖獗只是一种幻象,

for, unceasingly, life keeps books on us all.
因为生命无时无刻不将我们的所作所为像账一样一笔一笔记录下来.

In the end, we are all the sum total of our actions.
到最后,我们就是自身行为的总和.

Character cannot be counterfeited, nor can it be put on and cast off as it were a garment to meet the whim of the moment.
品德是无法造假的,也无法像衣服一样随兴地穿上或脱下来扔在一边.
Like the markings on wood which are ingrained in the very heart of the tree, character requires time and nurture for growth and development.
就像树木的年轮深刻于树木的中心,人格的成长与发育也需要时间和滋养.

Thus also, day by day, we write our own destiny.
也因此,我们日复一日地写下我们自己的命运,
For inexorably we become what we do.
因为我们的所为不留情面地决定我们的存在.
This, I believe, is the supreme logic and the law of life.
我相信这就是最高的逻辑及人生的法则.
