论文部分内容阅读
Not only is it a new day but it is most definitely a new year! So, readers, without further ado, Happy New Year or 新年好!
Whenever something new occurs it usually means something has changed, or is about to. This edition will revolve around the theme of change; the change in people’s lives and what kind of effects they’ve had. As 2013 kicks off we must remember that change can come from anywhere at anytime—we can’t always control or anticipate it.
The three feature articles contained in this edition of Crazy English Reader will demonstrate how new developments can create an entirely new person.
First up, is a topic that in the future will no doubt grace myself! Michael Childers talks of his experience of gaining a new addition to the family, in Fatherhood. Michael shows us that even just the smallest of events during childhood can have an impact that will last a lifetime.
From Fatherhood to a yoga teacher in Feeling Stuck? Trying a Beginner’s Mind, where Will Donnelly suggests we change our perspective if we want to change ourselves. As a dedicated yoga instructor Will was looking for a way to become a better teacher, not just for his students but for himself. If we are bending over backwards trying to move forward, sometimes it’s better to look behind us.
And so, like a snake that has shed its skin to begin a new life, the cycle of change is completed with John Updike’s Oliver’s Evolution. In this story of mental and physical change, we understand how—like a butterfly breaking out of a chrysalis—we each have the ability to change into something beautiful.
Once again, my dear readers, Happy New Year!
这不仅仅是新的一天，更的的确确是一个新年！所以，事不宜迟，先祝读者们新年快乐！
当新事物降临时，往往意味着改变或即将到来的改变。本期将围绕改变的主题展开，探索人们生活中发生的改变及其影响。2013年的计时声响起时，我们必须谨记改变将随时从四面八方袭来——我们并不能时时掌控并作出预期。
本期《疯狂英语阅读版》囊括的三篇主题文章将为您展示新的改变怎样造就一个人的改头换面。
主题开篇便是一个在未来无疑将有益于我自身的话题！迈克尔·奇尔德斯在《为父之道》一文谈起了他家添新丁、初为人父的经历。他为我们警示了即使是童年时一件微不足道的小事也有可能对孩子产生持续一生的影响。
看罢《为父之道》，还有《束手无策？回归初心》中瑜伽教练威尔·唐纳利建议我们更改视角以寻求转变。作为勤谨敬业的瑜珈指导师，威尔努力学习成为一位更好的老师，不仅仅为了他的学生，也为了他自己。如果我们拼命试着往前冲，有时还不如停下来回顾一下自身。
同样，就像一条蛇需要蜕皮去开始一段新生活一样，改变的范畴也涵盖了这一种：约翰·厄普代克的《“钢铁”是怎么炼成的——“倒霉蛋”奥利弗成长记》。在这个身心都经历了改变的故事里，我们明白了如何——破茧成蝶——我们每一个人都有变得更加美好的能力。
再一次，我亲爱的读者们，祝大家新年快乐！
