以下是學習啦小編整理的哲理類英語美文欣賞： 如果世界是個一百人的村落 ，希望對你有所啟發(fā)。

　　If we could shrink the earth’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all theexsting human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

　　如果我們把全世界的人口按照現(xiàn)有壓縮為一個100人的村子，情況就會如同以下：

　　There would be:

　　這個村子里有：

　　57 Asians

　　57 人是亞洲人

　　When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need foracceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

　　透過這個壓縮圖來放眼我們的世界，就會明曉接納他人、諒解以及教育是何等重要。

　　The following is also something to ponder……

　　再從以下角度來想想看……

　　If you woke pup this morning with more health than illness……you are more blessed than theillion who will not survive this week.

　　如果你早上醒來的時候健康無恙……那么，比起活不過這一周的百萬人來說，你真是幸運多了。

　　If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, theagony of torture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

　　如果你未曾經(jīng)歷過戰(zhàn)爭的危險、入獄的孤獨、嚴刑的苦楚、饑餓的痛苦……那么，比起世界上5億人來，你真是幸運多了。

　　If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place tosleep… You are richer than 75% of this world.

　　如果你冰箱里有食物，身上有衣服可穿，有屋篷遮蔽，有地方睡覺……那么，比起世界上75%的人來，你真是富足多了。

　　If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace…You areamong the top 8% of the world’s wealth.

　　如果你銀行中有存款，錢包中也有錢，還能到某處消費習菜……你便躋身在世界上最富有的8%人口當中了。

　　If your parents are still alive and still married…You are very rare, even in the United Stated andCanada.

　　如果你的父母依然健在，而且還在一起生活的話……這可是非常難得的事，即使是在美國與加拿大。

　　Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

　　有人說過：我所付出的終將會回歸。

　　So…

　　所以……

　　Work live you don’t need the money.

　　去工作時，猶如你不執(zhí)迷于金錢。

　　Love like you’ve never been hurt.

　　去愛他人，猶如你從未曾被傷害。

　　Dance like nobody’s watching.

　　去舞蹈吧，猶如無人在一旁觀看。

　　Sing like nobody’s listening.

　　去歌唱吧，猶如無人在一邊諦聽。

　　Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.

　　好好地生活，猶如這里是人間樂土。
