时间：2018-12-29 作者：英语课 分类：世界节假日博览
Be Positive,Do Something Day is on March 1st. It is our chance to make a difference in the world and do something positive. It might change our lives for the better. It often seems as though the world is full of negative news, negative people and negative images. This day is for you to reverse 1 this. An Australian man, Harold Cameron, created this day. He has a lifetime’s experience of turning negatives into positives. Harold says on the Be Positive website: “I was born sickly as a child. It was thought that I would never live, but I did.” He explains how he overcame being abandoned 2 as a child, abuse 3, drugs, the death of close family members and other setbacks. Every time he bounced 4 back through positive thinking.
积极行动日会在每年的3月1日举行。这一天能够让我们有机会来创造不同，做一些有积极意义的事情。这或许会让我们的生活往好的方面发展。尽管这个世界充斥着负面的讯息，消极的人物和形象。但是这一天能够让我们将其扭转。一位名叫哈罗德·卡梅伦的澳大利亚男子创办了这一节日。他的一生都在将负面转化为正面。哈罗德在“积极网站”上称：“孩童时的我体弱多病。我想我活不了了，但是我活过来了。”他向我们解释了他是如何战胜被遗弃、虐待、毒品、至亲去世以及其他挫折的。每一次他都是通过积极思想转危为安的。
One of Harold’s messages is do not procrastinate 5. Do it today, not tomorrow. He says if you put things off for another day, they usually never get done. He has many suggestions about what to do on this day. Here are a few. See what you think. How about speaking a positive word to someone first thing in the morning or posting a positive message somewhere for everyone to read? Speak a positive word to the first people you meet at school or at work. Harold also suggests donating 6 things from your home you no longer use or need to people in need. Be Positive，Do Something Day might also be a good time to get your life moving in the direction you want it to go. Write down your biggest life goal and go for it. You can do it.
哈罗德告诉我们的是不要拖延。今日事今日毕。他说如果你今天的事情不做，那么就永远不会去做。他对在这一天要干什么提了几点建议。下面是几条建议。你觉得如何。早上第一件事是对别人说一句带有积极色彩的单词，或是发布一句激励性的语句来供人们阅读？你可以在学校或是在工作单位向你遇见的第一个人说一句正面意义的单词。哈罗德还建议捐赠一些你用不着的东西给需要帮助的人。积极起来，积极行动日也或许可以让你的生活向着你理想的方向发展。写下你最大的人生目标，并努力实现。你能做到。
