About the future

1. Remember what should be remembered，and forget what should be forgotten. Alter what is changeable，and accept what is mutable.

记住该记住的，忘记该忘记的。改变能改变的，接受不能改变的。

2. Apart from tears，only time could wear everything away. While feeling is being processed by time，conflicts would be reconciled as time goes by，just like a cup of tea that is being continuously diluted.

能冲刷一切的除了眼泪，就是时间，以时间来推移感情，时间越长，冲突越淡，仿佛不断稀释的茶。

3. It can be inferred that you lack confidence in a victory over your rivals from the fact that you’re irritable against them.

如果敌人让你生气，那说明你还没有胜他的把握。

4. If you would get angry with your friends，we can conclude you still care about the friendship between you.

如果朋友让你生气，那说明你仍然在意他的友情。

5. Only till my natural death could I tell which of what I have been doing is right or wrong，so now I have to try to do well in everything，and then wait to die a natural death.

我不知道我现在做的哪些是对的，哪些是错的，而当我终于老死的时候我才知道这些。所以我现在所能做的就是尽力做好每一件事，然后等待着老死。

6. Like the outcome after an exam，death makes us aware of anything，That is，it’s too late to take a tumble.

死亡教会人一切，如同考试之后公布的结果。虽然恍然大悟，但为时晚矣!

7. When you were born，you're crying but lookers-on were smiling. When you are passing away，you're smiling but lookers-on are crying.

你出生的时候，你哭着，周围的人笑着；你逝去的时候，你笑着，而周围的人在哭!

8. Everyone has his inherent ability (power or capacity) which is easily concealed by habits，blurred by time，and eroded by laziness.

每个人都有潜在的能量，只是很容易被习惯所掩盖，被时间所迷离，被惰性所消磨。

9. I wouldn't care success or failure，for I will only struggle ahead as long as I have been destined to the distance. I wouldn't care the difficulties around，for what I can leave on the earth is only their view of my back since I have been marching toward the horizontal.

我不去想是否能够成功，既然选择了远方，便只顾风雨兼程；我不去想，身后会不会袭来寒风冷雨，既然目标是地平线，留给世界的只能是背影。

10. Penitence is something that enervates our spirit，causing a greater loss than loss itself and making a bigger mistake than mistake itself，so never regret.

话题语句（二）

Life in 2050: Amazing Science，Familiar Threats

Imagine a future in which cancer becomes a memory，ordinary people travel in space，and computers carry on conversations like humans. Now imagine a darker future——a world beset (困扰) by war，rising temperatures and energy shortages，one faces a terrorist attack with nuclear weapons.

Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity，from entertainment to technology. First of all，it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead，people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.
