一个检验和提高英语能力的练习（欢迎有时间的考鸭族）
说明：1， 英语对于我们来说永远是一门外语，我们在学习的时候，更多的是学得，而不是习得。在我们学习、解题的时候，很多时候我们还是依赖与将英文翻译成中文来理解。在平时的学习中，我们认为自己读懂了英文，但说到细节，就模糊了。
2， 看似简单的语言也能表达出无限美的东西（注：英国的很多农民，一生掌握的单词也就1000个（一千）左右，从这个层面讲，我们已经非常厉害了）。我们在准备考试的时候，很容易陷入一种误区：追求难的东西，而忽略了基础的积累。加上心态急，所以提高不快，甚至会出现倒退的现象。
3， 任何考试都是残酷的，（而且很贵哈：）。我们需要有良好的斗志和健康的身体去迎接一切挑战。
在此，每天将给出3~5条名言，望各位赶兴趣的：
1，练习翻译，欢迎大家把你们的翻译拿出来交流
2，背诵，对语感很有帮助；同时将有助于你的写作。
也欢迎大家贴点名言来供大家练习！ 谢谢！ 练习1

练习4
Let us not always rest our eyes on what we did yesterday. But let us direct our
attention to what we are going to do tomorrow.
Let us not always boast of what we have accomplished in the past. But let us think of what more accomplishment we will make in the future.
练习5
The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself.
It is not in your environment.
It is not in luck or chance,
Or the help of others.
It is in yourself alone.
练习6
We must sow before we reap.
Sowing takes place before reaping.
We must give before we get.
We cannot expect the fireplace to give us heat before we put in the fuel.
练习7
How come one person moves forward with one success after another, and yet
some are still getting ready?
How come one man goes through life crossing are one hurdle after another,
accomplishing his goals while another struggles and gets nowhere? 嗯，挺好的。
不过有一点我提醒大家，不要因为英国某些农民只知道1000个词就放松要求。
我已经查证过，那些农民估计一辈子也没有离开自己的农场，说自己地区行话（别的地方的人不一定懂）
使用万能动词take get have do一类的。
一个美国或者英国受过高等教育的人，词汇量记不清楚了，好像是20000基本词汇（不包括扩展词汇）
所以不要满足，一直前进：）
嗯，顺便也提醒自己。 感谢斑竹的提醒。这确实应该引起我们的高度重视。谢谢斑竹。 11月18日
练习8
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal.
“Progressive” means that success is a journey, not a destination.
“Realization” means it is an experience.
“Worthy” refers to our value system, which determines the quality of the journey.
“Goals” are important, because they give us a sense of direction.
练习 9
To dream anything that you want to dream.
That’s the beauty of human kind.
To do anything that you want to do.
That’s the strength of human will.
To trust yourself to test your limits.
That’s the courage to succeed.
练习 10
We need dreams:
Dreams give us a vision of a better future.
Dreams nourish our spirit.
Dreams represent possibility even when we are dragged.
Dreams keep us going.
Most successful are dreamers. Ordinary people who are not afraid to think big dare
not to be great. 11月19日
练习11
In almost any subject, your passion for the subject will save you.
If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it.
If you wish to do well, you will do well.
If you wish to be rich, you will be rich.
Desire is the ingredient that changes the hot water of mediocrity to the steam of out-standing success.
练习12
The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.
The opposite of beauty is not ugliness, it’s indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference.
The opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference.
练习13
Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well.
Whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely. 练习4
让我们别总是把目光停留于昨天的作为，而是关注明天的计划。
让我们不要总是夸耀昨天的成就，而是思考未来所能作出的更辉煌的成就吧。
练习5
你所寻找的黄金机遇就在你本身
它不存在于外界环境。
不在于运气或者几率，
仅仅在你本身
练习6
收获前必须播种
播种发生于收获前
获得前我们必须给予
不往炉中加柴我们无法期待得到温暖
练习7
为何有人做到成功接连不断，而有些人却一直在做准备？
为何有人在生命旅途克服一个又一个的障碍并达成目标，而有人挣扎着一事无成？
