關于勇氣的英語美文欣賞courage勇氣

　　courage  勇氣

　　The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectaclethan the courage of a final moment； but it is nolessa magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy．A man does what he must in spite of personalconsequences，in spite of obstacles and dangersand pressures and that is the basis of all humanmorality．

　　生活之中的勇氣，通常不會像千鈞一發(fā)時的勇氣那樣充滿戲劇性；但他人不失為是一個勝利與悲劇的壯觀組合。一個人將個人得失，障礙、危險還有壓力拋在腦后，只是做他必須做的，而這便是人類一切道德的基礎。

　　To be courageous…requires no exceptional qualifications，no magic formula，no specialcombination of time，place and circumstance．It is an opportunity that sooner or later ispresented to us all． Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests ofcourage．In whatever arena of life one may meet the challengeof courage，whatever may bethe sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience，the loss of his friends，his fortune，hiscontentment， even the esteem of his fellow men，each man must decide for himself thecourse he will follow． The stories of past courage can define that ingredient，they canteach，they can offer hope，they can provide inspiration．But they cannot supply courageitself． For this each man must look into his own soul．

　　勇敢，不需要突出的品質，不需要秘訣，不需要天時地利，每個人或早或晚都有機會。政治不過是對勇氣進行特別考驗的一個競技場而已，在人生的每一個競技場上勇氣都會前來挑戰(zhàn)。如果你跟隨你的良心，那么任何東西都可能被犧牲：朋友，財產，滿足，甚至是別人對你的尊重。走哪條路只能由自己來決定。前人的故事可以告訴你什么叫勇敢。他們能夠教你，能夠給你希望和靈感，但不能給你真正的勇氣，要得到它你必須要發(fā)掘自己的靈魂。
