　　這里小編摘取了一些經(jīng)典的喬氏語錄，希望對雅思考試的同學(xué)們搜集雅思口語素材時有所幫助。

　　The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent found it yet, keep looking. Dont settle. As with all matters of the heart, youll know when you find it。

　　成就一番偉業(yè)的唯一途徑就是熱愛自己的事業(yè)。如果你還沒能找到讓自己熱愛的事業(yè)，繼續(xù)尋找，不要放棄。跟隨自己的心，總有一天你會找到的。

　　There is no shortcut to excellence. You will have to make the commitment to make excellence your priority. Use your talents, abilities, and skills in the best way possible and get ahead of others by giving that little extra. Live by a higher standard and pay attention to the details that really do make the difference. Excellence is not difficult - simply decide right now to give it your best shot - and you will be amazed with what life gives you back。

　　成功沒有捷徑。你必須把卓越轉(zhuǎn)變成你身上的一個特質(zhì)。最大限度地發(fā)揮你的天賦、才能、技巧，把其他所有人甩在你后面。高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)嚴(yán)格自己，把注意力集中在那些將會改變一切的細(xì)節(jié)上。變得卓越并不艱難從現(xiàn)在開始盡自己最大能力去做你會發(fā)現(xiàn)生活將給你驚人的回報。

　　Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other peoples thinking. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary。

　　你的時間有限，所以不要為別人而活。不要被教條所限，不要活在別人的觀念里。不要讓別人的意見左右自己內(nèi)心的聲音。最重要的是，勇敢的去追隨自己的心靈和直覺，只有自己的心靈和直覺才知道你自己的真實想法，其他一切都是次要。

　　Ive got it down to four words: Do what you love. Seek out an occupation that gives you a sense of meaning, direction and satisfaction in life. Having a sense of purpose and striving towards goals gives life meaning, direction and satisfaction. It not only contributes to health and longevity, but also makes you feel better in difficult times. Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings and look forward to the work week? If the answer is no, keep looking, youll know when you find it。

　　我把這段話濃縮為：做我所愛。去尋找一個能給你的生命帶來意義、價值和讓你感覺充實的事業(yè)。擁有使命感和目標(biāo)感才能給生命帶來意義、價值和充實。這不僅對你的健康和壽命有益處，而且即使在你處于困境的時候你也會感覺良好。在每周一的早上，你能不能利索的爬起來并且對工作日充滿期待?如果不能，那么你得重新去尋找。你會感覺得到你是不是真的找到了。

　　Live in a way that is ethically responsible. Try to make a difference in this world and contribute to the higher good. Youll find it gives more meaning to your life and its a great antidote to boredom. There is always so much to be done. And talk to others about what you are doing. Dont preach or be self-righteous, or fanatical about it, that just puts people off, but at the same time, dont be shy about setting an example, and use opportunities that arise to let others know what you are doing。

　　帶著責(zé)任感生活，嘗試為這個世界帶來點有意義的事情，為更高尚的事情做點貢獻(xiàn)。這樣你會發(fā)現(xiàn)生活更加有意義，生命不再枯燥。需要我們?nèi)プ龅氖虑楹芏?。告訴其他人你的計劃，不要鼓吹，也不要自以為是，更不能盲目狂熱，那樣只會把人們嚇跑，當(dāng)然，你也不要害怕成為榜樣，要抓住出頭的機會讓人們知道你的所作所為。

　　It is the kind of mind that can see things as they are, which step by step and in a flash can realize the original nature of everything. Beginners mind is Zen practice in action. It is the mind that is innocent of preconceptions and expectations, judgements and prejudices. Think of beginners mind as the mind that faces life like a small child, full of curiosity and wonder and amazement。

　　不要迷惑于表象而要洞察事務(wù)的本質(zhì)，初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是行動派的禪宗。所謂初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是指，不要無端猜測、不要期望、不要武斷也不要偏見。初學(xué)者的心態(tài)正如一個新生兒面對這個世界一樣，永遠(yuǎn)充滿好奇、求知欲、贊嘆。

　　Dont equate making mistakes with being a mistake. There is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes, there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them, and so got it right the next time. They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. Never making a mistake means never living life to the full。

　　犯錯誤不等于錯誤。從來沒有哪個成功的人沒有失敗過或者犯過錯誤，相反，成功的人都是犯了錯誤之后，做出改正，然后下次就不會再錯了，他們把錯誤當(dāng)成一個警告而不是萬劫不復(fù)的失敗。從不犯錯意味著從來沒有真正活過。
