2012年英语六级阅读:成长不设限,活出你梦想!(双语)

 　　Unlimited 1 Growth: Live your Dream Life!

　　Did you know that the only limits on your success are in your own imagination? We limit ourselves too often without even realizing it. Discover the strategies that will help you experience unlimited growth!
　　你知道吗？阻碍你成功的限制只是出于你自己的想象。我们常常对自己设限而不自知。快来发现其中的巧妙，帮助你经历不受限制的成长吧！
　　Are we Slaves?
　　我们是奴隶吗？
　　Have you noticed how easy it is to follow the course of life and forget that we have dreams? Gradually, we are abdicating 2 the responsibility to exercise the rights that we have on our lives. We are making ourselves slaves. We are the slaves of other events, our work and our debts. But, you probably still have dreams! If so, here is great news: you can free yourself and improve your life in depth!
　　不知你是否注意到？跟着生活既定的进程而忘记自己的梦想，是多么容易的一件事情啊。渐渐地，我们放弃行使活出自我的权利。我们将自己变成了奴隶，变成其它事物——工作和债务——的奴隶。然而，你大概仍怀有梦想！如是者，我有好消息要告诉你：你可以解放自己，尽情拓展生命的深度！
　　Unleash 3 your Potential!
　　释放你的潜力！
　　In you lies the potential to do almost anything you want to take on. More than two millennia 4 ago, a Greek philosopher and scientist Archimedes said, "Give me a lever and I will move the world." This lever is unlimited growth. What is unlimited growth? It is a principle that states that, when you take an action by following your vision and your goals, you get the results and begin to grow at a virtually unlimited rate.
　　潜藏在你体内的潜力几乎能达成任何你想从事的事情。两千多年前，一位希腊的哲学家和科学家阿基米德说到,"给我一跟杠杆，我能撬动整个地球。"这根杠杆就是无限成长。什么是“无限成长”？它指的是当一个人跟随自己的梦想和目标而行动，并获得想要的结果时，这个人就开始以几乎不受限制的速度成长。
　　Create an Environment Fit for Success
　　营造宜于成功的环境
　　You must first create a context for your success. For example, if you tend to collect magazines and other items thinking that you need them might need them one day, then it is high time that you review this habit. To create an environment conducive 5 to achieving your goals, you must eliminate everything that is unnecessary and that may distract you.
　　首先你需要为你的成功营造一个环境。举例说来，如果你打算收集杂志和其它你认为有一天你会需要它们的物品时，是时候重新检视你这个习惯了。如欲营造一个有利于你达成目标的环境，你必须消除所有不必要和会让你分心的事物。
　　This is often the case with all the things that we accumulate. These things only serve to waste the time that we spend managing them unnecessarily. Need to do something? Keep only the things that are critical to your business and that are really important.
　　收集物品通常就属于这种情况。这些物品只会花费我们大量的时间去整理它们。那我们需要做些什么（改变这种情况呢）？只保留对你事业有关键作用和真正重要的东西。
　　Record Your Daily Activities and Use a Calendar
　　使用日程表记录你每日的活动
　　We must also take into account the time factor in achieving our plans and our actions. Good time management is closely linked to priorities, hence the fact that using your calendar is a great help for personal fulfillment. Also, think of all the requests you have in one day. If you do not take time to note the most important of them, you'll forget! Many people call the next day simply because they lose sight of all their activities. Moreover, do not forget to regularly check your calendar and update your lists of priorities.
　　在实施计划和开展行动时，我们必须将时间因素也考虑在内。良好的时间管理与事情的轻重排序紧密相关，因此，使用日程表对实现个人目标大有裨益。同时，考虑你一天内需要做的所有事情。如果你不花时间记下其中最重要的事情，你会忘记的！许多人需要明天只是因为看不清当天要做的所有事。还有，不要忘记定时检查日程表，及时更新优先事项的名单。
　　Increase Your Results
　　提升你的成绩
　　Do not be overwhelmed by your work and activities. If you react quickly to situations and take an action, you are sure to be respected and to achieve good results. Grab the opportunities that are related to what you do.
　　不要被工作和活动淹没。如果你能迅速应对情况并采取行动，毫无疑问地你将赢得尊重和取得好成绩。抓住与你所从事工作相关的机会。
　　If you do not have time, that means you need to review your choices. Change the order of importance of an activity, say no to another, defer 6 or delegate tasks. Choosing is never easy, but so is your commitment to your own cause, that of achieving your dream life. You can also increase the quantity and quality of what you make by choosing to work with people whose skills and expertise 7 complement 8 your own.
　　如果你的时间不够用，这就意味着你需要重新检视自己的选择。调整必做事情的重要性排序，对不重要的事情采取拒绝、延后或委派他人等措施。选择从来都不容易，恪守自己追求梦想生活的诺言同样也不容易。选择在技能和专业上与自己互补的人共事，也能提升你工作的质和量。
　　Enjoy An Unlimited Growth!
　　享受无止境的成长！
　　Whatever your dreams, it is the quality of your decisions and your actions that ultimately determines the quality of your life. The more you decide to make things better more you get results that make a difference. There is no limit to the improvements you can make or actions you can accomplish. The improvements you can make in your life are therefore also unlimited.
　　无论你的梦想是什么，决定你生活质量的最终会是你的决定和行动的质量。你改善情况的决心有多大，最后得到的结果就有多不一样。你所能取得的进步和完成的工作没有止境。因此，你能为生活所做的改善也同样没有止境。
　　Three Ways to Initiate 9 Unlimited Growth
　　启动无止境成长的3种方法
　　1. Nothing is easy and the results are often initially 10 difficult to master. To succeed, you must cultivate excellence 11 and perseverance 12. Try and try again. You'll get more than you'd hoped!
　　1. 事无易成者，其结果往往最初都难以把握。欲成大器者，必须培养卓越意识和坚韧精神。不断的尝试，你会得到比你所希望的更多！
　　2. The only limits to your success are those that you impose on yourself. You limit yourself when you do not accept full responsibility for the results you get in your life. The only real limit on your success is in your own imagination!
　　2. 唯一限制你成功的因素都是你强加于自己的。当你不肯为自己生活的结果负责任时，你就限制了自己。真正限制你成功的只是你自己的想象而已！
　　3. Regardless of your past, take account your present and future. Do not let your past prevent you from living the life you dream. Concentrate on the fact that every action you take builds your future from the present.
　　3. 不管过去怎样，考虑现在和未来。不要让你的过去阻止你过自己的梦想生活。专注于这个事实：你现在的每一个行动，都是在构筑你的未来。
