異地戀如何維持感情
Most of us dream of meeting that special someone. For lack of a better phrase, that Prince or Princess Charming who will sweep us off our feet. But to quote the old adage from Shakespeare, “The course of true love never did run smooth.”?Sometimes our dream partner may have an unfortunate surprise to share with us - they may not live in the same town, city, country, or even on the same continent as you.
phrase 短語，措辭n.
sweep 掃v.
quote 引用v.
adage 格言，諺語n.
course 過程，道路n.
partner 搭檔n.
continent 大陸，洲n.
大多數(shù)的我們都幻想遇見“對的那個人”。沒有更好的表達(dá)了，那個讓我們?yōu)橹畠A倒的真命天子（女）。但引用莎士比亞的那句名言，“真愛之路永不會是平坦的。”有時(shí)候，我們摯愛的人可能會有一個不幸的驚喜要分享給我們——他們可能住在另一個小鎮(zhèn)、城市、國家，或者甚至是隔海相望。
And so some crazy lovebirds decide to enter into a long-distance relationship. We live in a time when the internet facilitates easier interaction with your cherished and treasured potential life partner. However, according to the many people who have been in long-distance relationships, there are certain pitfalls that you need to be aware of to enjoy a committed and monogamous relationship over the wires of the net.
lovebirds 愛情鳥，比翼鳥n.
facilitate 促進(jìn)v.
interaction 互動n.
cherished 珍愛的adj.
treasured 珍藏的，心愛的adj.
potential 潛在的adj.
pitfall 陷阱，圈套n.
committed 堅(jiān)定的adj.
monogamous 一夫一妻制的adj.
wire 電線，金屬絲n.
所以有些瘋狂的戀人決定開始一場異地戀。我們生活在這樣一個時(shí)代，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)讓你更容易與你珍愛的潛在生活伴侶進(jìn)行交流。然而，對于那些有過異地戀的人來說，要想在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上享受一段忠誠的、一夫一妻制的感情，你需要注意一些陷阱。
Many people are put off by the very idea of it. A?lack of intimacy and companionship can act as a deterrent for some, but for those who embrace a digital distance relationship, they must accept that at times they may feel lonely. Many of us dream of that inseparable bond, often named as soulmates, and here are three tips to help you navigate?this potentially tricky?form of dating.
intimacy 親昵n.
companionship 陪伴n.
deterrent 威懾，妨礙物n.
embrace 擁抱v.
digital 數(shù)字的adj.
inseparable 不能分開的adj.
bond 結(jié)合，紐帶n.
soulmate 靈魂伴侶n.
tip 小建議n.
許多人一想到它就反感。對一些人來說，缺乏親密關(guān)系和陪伴可能是一種威懾，但對那些喜歡數(shù)字距離關(guān)系的人來說，他們必須承認(rèn)，有時(shí)他們可能會感到孤獨(dú)。我們很多人都夢想著那種不可分割的聯(lián)系，通常被稱為“靈魂伴侶”。這里有三個小建議，可以幫助你應(yīng)對這種可能很棘手的約會形式。
Firstly, there needs to be trust. Being faithful is a prerequisite?in most relationships, but you also need to be able to trust yourself not to stray. Part of the challenge is dealing with loneliness. Also, maintaining a level of self-sufficiency?and setting goals is another way to help you cope. Not only does it mean you keep your independence, but also gives you more to talk about with your partner. Lastly, you need a plan – dates when you will see each other again, or where the relationship will lead to: perhaps even marriage.
faithful 信仰的，充滿信任的adj.
maintain 維持v.
cope 處理，對付v.
date 確定日期v.
perhaps 或許adv.
首先，需要信任。忠誠是大多數(shù)關(guān)系的先決條件，但你也要相信自己不會出軌。挑戰(zhàn)的一部分是應(yīng)對孤獨(dú)。此外，保持自給自足的水平和設(shè)定目標(biāo)是另一種幫助你應(yīng)對的方法。這不僅意味著你保持了自己的獨(dú)立性，也給了你和伴侶更多的談心。最后，你們需要一個計(jì)劃——什么時(shí)候你們會再次見面，或者你們的關(guān)系將走向何方：也許甚至是婚姻。
So, long-distance relationships are potentially a difficult?situation, but if you do meet Mr or Mrs Right, and they live far away, there are some steps you can take to make life a little easier.
Mr Right 真命天子n.
Mrs Right 真命天女n.
所以，異地戀是一種潛在的困境，但如果你遇到了意中人，而且他們住得很遠(yuǎn)，你可以采取一些措施，讓生活變得更容易一些。

學(xué)會傾聽
When I started out as a reporter, I had to learn to really listen, which didn’t come easily to me.
當(dāng)我初為一名記者的時(shí)候，我不得不學(xué)會傾聽，這對于我來說并不容易。
I’m from a family that loves to debate?and argue, and I’m naturally opinionated.
Opinionated 固執(zhí)己見的adj.
我來自一個喜歡辯論和爭吵的家庭，所以我天生就喜歡發(fā)表意見。
Early in my career, I found myself frequently interrupting my subjects, but when I played back the tapes of my interviews, I realized that not only were many of my interjections totally unnecessary, but they were also preventing my subjects from revealing information that might have been newsworthy or profound.
Frequently 頻繁地adv.
interrupt 打斷v.
tape 磁帶n.
interview 采訪n.
interjection 突然的發(fā)聲n.
reveal 顯示，揭露v.
事業(yè)早期，當(dāng)我回聽采訪錄音時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己老是會打斷被采訪者，而且其中很多都是不必要的，導(dǎo)致很多有效或者重要的信息得不到發(fā)掘。
I gradually learned to just be quiet. What I most want from a conversation with others, whether they share my politics or loathe them, is understanding. It doesn’t mean you hide what you think or refrain from pressing someone who’s being unclear or evasive.
politics 政治n.
loathe 厭惡v.
refrain 避免，克制v.
press 按，壓，逼迫v.
evasive 逃避的，推脫的adj.
我漸漸開始學(xué)會安靜傾聽。不管他們的觀點(diǎn)是否與我一致或怎樣，我都會努力去理解。這并不代表要你隱藏自己的想法，或者對那些模棱兩可的回答不進(jìn)行深入追問。
But it does mean the purpose of the exchange is to tease out what a person truly believes rather than to win an argument, convert them, or show them up.
purpose 目的n.
tease 梳理v.
convert 使轉(zhuǎn)變，使……改變信仰v.
交流的真正意義在于探尋出被調(diào)查者的真實(shí)想法，而不是贏得辯論、扭曲他們的想法或是讓他們難堪。

《時(shí)代》：“美國式失敗”

Below that number are the words “An American failure”?printed in bold red.
bold 粗體的adj.
在這個數(shù)字下面，用紅色粗體印著“美國的失敗”。
“A failure of leadership at many levels and across parties;?a distrust of scientists, the media and expertise in general;?and deeply ingrained cultural attitudes about individuality and how we value human lives have all combined to result in a horrifically inadequate pandemic response,”?the Time cover story reads. “COVID-19 has weakened the US and exposed the systemic fractures in the country, and the gulf between what this nation promises its citizens and what it actually delivers.”

“Absent adequate leadership, it's been up to everyday Americans to band together in the fight against COVID-19. To some extent, that’s been happening -- doctors, nurses, bus drivers and other essential workers have been rightfully celebrated as heroes, and many have paid a price for their bravery. But at least some Americans still refuse to take such a simple step as wearing a mask,”?it added.

bravery 勇敢n.
mask 口罩n.
“在缺乏足夠領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的情況下，美國民眾需要團(tuán)結(jié)起來抗擊COVID-19。在某種程度上，這種情況一直在發(fā)生——醫(yī)生、護(hù)士、公交司機(jī)和其他重要工作人員被當(dāng)之無愧地譽(yù)為英雄，許多人也為他們的勇敢付出了代價(jià)。但至少有些美國人仍然拒絕采取戴口罩這樣簡單的步驟。”

tackle 應(yīng)付，處理v.
race 賽跑n.

normality 常態(tài)n.
《時(shí)代》雜志還探討了新冠疫苗研發(fā)競賽的問題，并認(rèn)為這種疫苗可能有助于讓美國恢復(fù)“正?！?。
“Even if the COVID-19 vaccines don’t provide 100% protection against infection, they could provide a huge boost toward that return to normality,”?it said. But how quickly that happens will depend as much on the science behind them as on the humanity that determines where those vaccines go.
even if 即使
infection 感染n.
boost 促進(jìn)n.
humanity 人類，人道n.
《時(shí)代》雜志稱：“即使新冠疫苗不能100%地抵御感染，也能極大地推動社會恢復(fù)正常。但這一速度不僅取決于科學(xué)研究，也取決于決定這些疫苗去向的人?！?/p>
“What's being tested is more than the new technologies and the latest virus -- fighting strategies encased in each injection. It's also our willingness to be blind to the physical as well as social and economic borders that divide us to combat a virus that holds no such biases.”
encased ??? 被包住的，包裝的adj.
combat 戰(zhàn)斗，搏斗，與……戰(zhàn)斗v.
biases 偏見n.
“我們正在測試的不僅僅是新技術(shù)和最新的病毒——每一次注射都包含著對抗策略。我們也愿意無視將我們分隔開的物理、社會和經(jīng)濟(jì)邊界，去對抗一種沒有這種偏見的病毒?！?/p>

第十篇?：
寫給你的一封信
A letter to the my readers.
May be you don’t even know, but you are truly in a memorable time, that’s for sure.
Although I know nothing about you, here is something I am gonna tell you.
Struggle all the time.
Hey, bro. If you are a high school student, you may have heard something like ---- if you study hard in the middle school, you will be free at the college or university.
Wait a minute. Please think about it carefully. What do they mean??Not only the teachers, my mom also have said something similar. She said ---- you don’t need to work that hard in your university life.
My friends, you have to recognize that some words always around us are wrong, despite that the speakers maybe your closet parents, friends, classmates or even your lovers.
When you are going to make your first PPT to show your ideas, when you are going to write your first article and share it on the internet, or when you are working very very hard to make a difference, there is always someone saying “You don’t have to do that good. ”.
Really?
To be honest, the guy who says “You don’t have to do that good.” probably isn’t going to hurt you on purpose. That’s just their thinking patterns. They are just accustomed to be normal, to be mediocre. And that doesn’t mean that you have to follow them.
Open your eyes, man.
Now, anyway, I am in a university. Some of my roommates aren’t going to university to be a better person or they are not diligent enough to earn a real university life. It’s like they are here just to have some fun. Play video games all day or something like that, for example. (I am not saying we shouldn’t enjoy ourselves.)
Could you ask yourself that if I study day after day in my middle school to go to a nice college, then ?just to find some meaningless things to have a laugh?
It’s like no, man.
Remember, never should you stop your steps!?Like Schwarzenegger once said, “No matter what, keep your dreams.” God gives us life to make a difference, not to waste. Maybe your classmates won’t be on your side, your family won’t be on your side, or even your beloved one won’t be on your side. That’s would all be okay. You should be on your side yourself. And I am in your side in my heart.
Moving forward is hard, always, but difficulty is never a reason to stop at all.
My mom perhaps won’t understand why her son work until a.m. 2.00 for no money in the summer vacation after the college entrance examination. That’s fine.
Have a dream, and do it, and be struggled all the time.
Treat yourself like someone you love.
My friend, you may find your parents love you more than themselves, you love your pets more than yourself sometimes, and those who have fallen in love are willing to die for their beloved.
Can you tell me why those people treat other people better than themselves?
You might say because they are so kind or because they love the people around them deeply.
Of course these are right.
But, it’s still strange. And now many of us couldn’t take good care of ourselves. How it comes?
Let’s take an example.
You hate a people, because he is very stingy, and he has no manners……You know some bad things he has done, but, you know all the bad things you have done. You know you have evil ingredients in your soul. You know your imperfection in your subconscious. You know you always make various mistakes. So no one has more reason to blame?yourself than you. When you refuse to do something which is beneficial for you, it’s like you are punishing yourself for all your evils in your soul. By contrast, a harmless, innocent and self-conscious dog is clearly more deserving of kindness than you.
Aha, you are so bad. But don’t worry, everyone is just as terrible as you, even Elon Musk also included.
So, what’s the solution?
To treat yourself as if you were someone you are responsible for helping is, instead, to consider what would be truly good for you. This is not “what you want.” It is also not “what would make you happy.” You should look to the future and think about what your life will be like if you take care of yourself. What career should I choose to become a valuable and socially useful person?
Here, I want to tell you that everyone should have a goal ---- to become a better person, and at the same time please be friendly and nice to other people.
GO FOR IT!
You have to know who you are, clearly!?Don’t underestimate the power of vision and direction. They can transform seemingly insurmountable obstacles into broad, unobstructed paths.
Know what you are going to do, and put them into practice.
Hope you could remember the saying from Nietzsche ---- he who has a why (to live)?could bear almost any ?“how”?.
Strengthen the individual. Start with yourself. Take care with yourself. Define who you are. Refine your personality. Choose your destination and articulate your being.
Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street
Sometimes, life could be really hard. It will be miserable, which you can’t deny. Maybe you will get AIDS, or cancer or something even worse. Life is gonna be this way. We are both limited and vulnerable. But you should know clearly that it is your limitations and your vulnerabilities that make you a human being. And when you love someone in the future, you are actually loving his limitations and vulnerabilities. Remember this sentence.
And there are two ways here to solve it.
1: Focus instead of thinking
You can be focused to forget the pain.
2: Find beauty, balance pain
Life is not always about pain. Happiness is with us all the time.
When you are facing some inevitable disasters, hope you will find some flowers along the way to your home, and they are so beautiful.
And when you encounter a cat, pet her.
最后，我想對大家說，不要因?yàn)樘^于匆忙于生活，就忘記了身邊的美好，生活很美好，你邂逅的人很有意思，珍惜你們的relationship?，每一天都有著一個個奇跡在上演。
我們在向死而生，你以為的終點(diǎn)，回過頭來看，才是真正的起點(diǎn)。我們用心生活，就是一步步走向起點(diǎn)，走向生活的真諦。
