If you're someone who aspires to something beyond the ordinary, you must have figured out by now that there will always be those who are jealous or resentful of your success.
如果你想不走寻常路，做出些非凡的成就，那你就要明白总有那么一些人会对你的成就心生嫉妒与怨恨。
It doesn't matter that you've worked long and hard to get where you are, nor that you've made great sacrifices in achieving your goals. The "haters" will always find a reason to criticize and even condemn you.
无论你工作有多努力，或者你做出了多大的牺牲才获得了现在的成就，那些“恨你的人”总能找到理由来批评你，甚至诋毁你。
They're spiteful people who begrudge you the pride you have in yourself and the recognition you're receiving from others. They can't stand it that you're happy, fulfilled and achieving your goals.
对你心生不满的人看不惯你对自我的肯定，也见不得你得到别人的认可。他们无法忍受你的快乐、满足和成功。
These hateful individuals are unwilling to do the work that you've done; they rarely make the same kinds of sacrifices or put in the long, hard hours. They resent your success but are too lazy or spoiled to invest real time or energy in the pursuit of their own goals.
这些嫉恨你的人不愿意去做你所做过的事，不愿意同你一样做出牺牲，也不愿意花时间心血去工作，他们只是嫉妒你的成功，却永远懒得去花时间和力气去完成自己的目标。
It's true that we aren't always going to succeed in our ventures, even if we put in the time and effort. Results are never guaranteed and life has a way of throwing curve balls at us.
诚然，有时候即使我们付出了时间和努力，也未必能成功。谁也不能保证生活会是一帆风顺的，有时，它也会跟你打个擦边球。
I loved it when Tina Fey went up to collect her Golden Globe and held it high, saying, "This is for all the haters!" She's a good example of a talented, hard-working and successful person who's received an inordinate amount of negative press. Ms. Fey may be besieged by haters but she refuses to let them get to her.
我喜欢蒂娜––-菲在金球奖领奖时说过的话，她把奖杯高高举起，说道，“感谢那些讨厌我的人！”蒂娜就是富有天赋、工作努力而且获得成功的好例子，同时，她也收到了无数负面抨击，但她从未让这些流言蜚语影响到自己。
The thing you need to know about these haters is that the only reason they behave this way is that you have something they want but they aren't willing to work for it.
你只要记住：这些嫉恨你的人，他们讨厌你的唯一理由就是他们想得到你所得到的，却不愿意付出你所付出的。
The haters are convinced that you've been lucky or that you've had some unfair advantage but the truth is that your success is born of your untiring efforts, and it's these efforts that have brought about your "luck."
讨厌你的人总觉得你只不过是运气好而已，或者你走了后门，但事实是，你是通过自己的不懈努力才做出了成绩，这些努力才是你的“好运”所在。
The best way to deal with haters is what I call the "one-two punch." First, don't let them phase you. Be happy about your success and proud of your accomplishments. Let in the approval and the recognition from affirming, supportive people and never doubt that you deserve all this. The haters are angry, jealous people. What they think or say is ultimately meaningless.
对付嫉恨你的人的最好办法就是下面这套“组合拳”。第一，别让他们影响到你。尽情地为自己取得的成功而感到高兴和自豪吧，和那些欣赏你、赞美你、支持你的人在一起，不要怀疑，这些是你应得的。讨厌你的人都是善妒易怒的人，别去管他们说了什么，无论他们说什么，都不重要。
Next, the more the haters harass you, the more you should be motivated to succeed. They want to undermine you but your response should be to work that much harder in order to increase your level of success.idzxl0719
第二，那些人越是欺负你、骚扰你，你就越要积极地去获得成功。对付那些贬损你的招数，你的回应就是更加努力工作，取得更大的成就。
When your reaction to their hostility has inspired you to achieve further success, you've transformed the haters' negativity into fuel for your creative fires. Not only can they not hurt you but they've inadvertently spurred you on to even greater heights.
你对待敌意的方式会激励你取得更大的成就，到时，嫉恨者的恶言恶语就会转变成熊熊烈火帮助你创造出更大的辉煌。这些欺负你的人再也伤不了你，反而会鞭策你更上一层楼。

It's just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so.
It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn't hate the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it; overspending, the frantic running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and the dusting powder for Grandma and the gifts given in desperation because you couldn't think of anything else.
Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way.
Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling at the junior level at the school he attended and shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league match against a team sponsored by an inner-city church, mostly black.
These youngsters, dressed in sneakers so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, presented a sharp contrast to our boys in their spiffy blue and gold uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes.
As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler's ears.
It was a luxury the ragtag team obviously could not afford. Well, we ended up walloping them. We took every weight class. And as each of their boys got up from the mat, he swaggered around in his tatters with false bravado, a kind of street pride that couldn't acknowledge defeat.
Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, "I wish just one of them could have won," he said. "They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them."
Mike loved kids-all kids-and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball and lacrosse. That's when the idea for his present came.
That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously to the inner-city church.
On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in succeeding years.
For each Christmas, I followed the tradition, one year sending a group of mentally handicapped youngsters to a hockey game, another year a check to a pair of elderly brothers whose home had burned to the ground the week before Christmas, and on and on.
The envelope became the highlight of our Christmas. It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning and our children, ignoring their new toys, would stand with wide-eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents. idzxl0723
As the children grew, the toys gave way to more practical presents, but the envelope never lost its allure. The story doesn't end there.
You see, we lost Mike due to dreaded cancer. When Christmas rolled around, I was still so wrapped in grief that I barely got the tree up. But Christmas Eve found me placing an envelope on the tree, and in the morning, three more joined it. Each of our children, unbeknownst to the others, had placed an envelope on the tree for their dad.
The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren standing around the tree with wide-eyed anticipation watching as their fathers take down the envelope. Mike's spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.
我家的圣诞树上挂着一张小小的白色信封。上面既没有收信人的名字和寄信人的签名、也没有任何提示。它挂在我家的圣诞树上已经十多年了。
一切都因丈夫迈克对圣诞的憎恨而起。他并不憎恨圣诞节本身的意义，但他讨厌圣诞被商业化了。人们大把大把地花钱；在除夕夜的最后一分钟，围着圈不顾一切地跑去为哈里大叔抢些彩带，为外祖母手抢些彩粉；疯狂地瓜分礼物，把一切都抛在脑后。
正是因为知道他的这种感受，于是有一年我决定打破常规（平时都送些衬衣呀、毛衣或是领带等礼物）。我为迈克准备了一些特别的东西。灵感是有来历的。
那年我们的儿子凯文十二岁，在学校摔跤队的初级班里接受训练。圣诞节前夕，学校安排了一场非联赛的比赛，对手是本市教会资助的一只队伍，他们大部分队员都是黑人。
这些小伙子们穿着破烂不堪的运动鞋，唯一能够绑在脚上的仿佛只有那条鞋带。而与之形成鲜明对比的是我们的孩子，他们身披金蓝相间的制服，脚蹬崭新的摔跤鞋，显得分外耀眼。
比赛开始了，我惊异地发现对方选手在摔跤的时候没有带专业头盔，只有一种好象质地很薄的帽子保护着选手的耳朵。
对贫民队来说买一顶头盔显然是一种奢侈。毫无疑问我们以绝对的优势获胜，并取得了每个级别的冠军。比赛结束了，他们队的每个男孩从地毯上爬起来，在溃败的失意中昂首阔步装出一副获胜的样子，流露出像街头地痞一样的骄横和蛮不讲理。
坐在我身旁的迈克伤心地摇摇头说道：“我真希望他们其中一个可以赢。他们很有潜力，但是就这样输掉了比赛就等于输掉了他们的信心。”
迈克爱孩子——所有的孩子。他曾带过小型的联赛橄榄球队，棒球队和长曲棍球队，所以他了解他们。而我的灵感也由此而发。
当天下午，我就到本地的一家运动用品商店买了摔跤专用的头盔和鞋子，并以匿名的形式把礼物送到了本市的教会。
那个圣诞夜，我把一个信封挂在圣诞树上，里面写着我做的事情，并告诉迈克这是我送给他的礼物。他的笑容是那年圣诞节最明亮的饰物，多少年来那笑容还一直延续着。
每年的圣诞节，我都沿袭了这个传统。我曾送给一群智障儿童一副曲棍球，也曾送给一对年老的兄弟一张支票，因为圣诞节的前一个星期大火烧毁了他们的房子。等等，等等。
在我家，拆信成了圣诞节的亮点。圣诞节的早晨，那封信总是我们最后拆开的礼物，孩子们甚至忘记了他们自己的玩具，站在一旁，瞪着大大的眼睛，满心希望地看着父亲从树上取下信封，然后打开看里面的内容。
孩子们渐渐长大，玩具开始给更具有实用性的礼物让位了，但是信封从未失去它的吸引力。我们的故事永远都不会结束。
现在我们失去了迈克，他患了癌症先我而去。而圣诞依然年年到来，我仍沉浸在失去他的悲伤中，虽然我几乎扶不起圣诞树，但是圣诞夜我仍放一封信在树上。清晨，我看见有三四封信挂在树上。每封都是孩子们挂上去的，对大家都保密，都放了一封信在树上献给他们的父亲。
这个传统在延续，有一天会被我们的孙子传得更远，当他们瞪着大大的眼睛，满怀希望地等待着他们的父亲从树上取下信封。迈克的精神，像圣诞的精神将永远伴随着我们。

With the Presidential race heating up, it makes you wonder what it takes to be a President.
随着美国总统大选逐渐升温，你或许想知道到底怎样才能成为总统吧。
Are there any special qualities that are required? Is it better to know your strengths or your weaknesses? Or both? Irrespective of whether you want to run for Presidency one day, there are specific traits that every man should have. They are:
是不是得有某些特殊品质？是了解自己的优点好还是了解自己的缺点好呢？或者两者都应有所了解？不管将来是否竞选总统，每个人都应从中学习以下优点：
1. Respect for others
尊重他人
You should respect everyone, irrespective of their stature in the society. Then, be it the CEO of a company or a waiter at a restaurant, every human being has as much right to respect and dignity as everyone else.
不管人们社会地位如何，你都应该尊重每个人。公司首席执行官也好，餐馆服务员也罢，每个人都有权得到与他人平等的尊重与尊严。
2. Patience to wait it out
耐心等待
Patience is one of the key traits for success. It’s like fishing. You ought to be ready to wait it out, to let the fish come to you, rather than grabbing at it. If you’re patient enough, you will probably snag the biggest one in the ocean.
耐心是成功的关键优点之一。就好比钓鱼，你必须学会等待鱼儿上钩，而不是迫不及待乱抓一气。如果你足够耐心，说不定就能钓到最大的那条鱼呢。
3. Progressiveness
不断进取
Have an open mind. Don’t surround yourself with yes men. Always look for challenges and be ready to face them. It’s only when you are challenged enough is when you do your best.
要愿意听取不同意见。别让身边尽是些俯首称是的家伙。随时寻求挑战并时刻做好准备面对它们。只有当你历经足够多的挑战时，才能做到最好。
4. Passion to take it all the way
保持激情
All ideas, great ones especially, will draw criticism initially. There will be people who will just not get on board. But these are the times when you have to keep your chin up and remain enthusiastic.
所有想法，尤其是伟大的想法，一开始总会招来批评。总有人不那么认同你的观点。所以有时候你得昂首乐观面对。
5. Accept your mistakes
承认错误
Always be ready to accept your mistakes. All great men are capable of doing that. Be the bigger man and apologise for your follies.
随时准备承认自己的错误。所有大人物都擅于此道。做有品行的人，为自己的愚蠢道歉吧。
6. Compassion for others
心怀宽悯
Don’t be quick to judge others. Consider where they are coming from. If you think someone has made a statement that sounds silly, doesn’t always mean that the person is dumb. It could also mean he is not aware yet. Just give people some time before you take a call on their character. idzxl0724
不要急于评定他人。多想想他们的生活背景吧。如果你觉得某人说话很愚蠢，并不代表这人是个笨蛋，或许他只是见识不多罢了。评定他人性格前，请多花点时间相处相处。
7. Modesty
谦逊
No matter how rich or famous you become, always be modest. The day you stop being humble, you’d be automatically down the road that will lead to your downfall.
不管你多么富有出名，请永远保持谦逊。一旦你骄傲自大，必将踏上失败之路。
8. Involvement
投入
Whatever you do, be involved in that process. If you work in an office, know the names of everyone on your team. Keep a tab on everything that is going around you.
不管你做的是什么，都应该投入其中。如果你在办公室工作，应该叫得出团队里每个人的名字。給自己的活动日程做个记录吧。
9. Initiative
积极主动
Be someone who gets out there and gets things done. People always respect those who take initiative. Always talk about things you want to accomplish than resting on your past laurels.
做一个拿出行动解决问题的人。积极主动的人总能赢得他人尊重。不要总是依靠老资本，而应该多谈谈自己想要实现的目标。
10. Tact
机智老练
To avoid long-term damage you need to be tactful. If someone calls you an ugly name in public, you need to deal with him diplomatically without creating a scene. Avoid conflicts for as long as you can.
要避免长期不利局面，你应该学会老练。如果有人当众辱骂你，你应该在避免纷争的前提下妥善解决问题。请尽可能避免冲突。

想要用英语表达“我宁愿做……也不要做……”要怎么说呢？你一定会说，那不就是rather than嘛！但是rather than在不同语境中，可是有不同含义和用法的，仅仅知道它的一个意思的话，你的英语水平可不够哦！下面我们就来看看rather than的不同用法吧！

这是一个地道的英语习语，让我们通过一个上下文来看看到底是什么意思。

B: Yeah Tim, I’ve got a meeting there Friday afternoon, but then I’ve got to fly straight back to Shanghai for another meeting on Sunday.
A: Rather you than me.

CPI指数可是与我们的日常生活息息相关的概念。只有了解CPI的趋势，才能让口袋里握着的毛主席不白白流向不值得的地方。CPI指数是CPI什么意思你猜到了吗？
A consumer price index (CPI) measures changes in the price level of consumer goods and services purchased by households.
CPI，也就是Consumer Price Index，消费者物价指数，用来衡量消费者购买消费品和服务时的价格水平。
The annual percentage change in a CPI is used as a measure of inflation.
一年CPI的百分比变化是政府用来衡量inflation（通货膨胀）的一个重要指数。
The CPI is a statistical estimate constructed using the prices of a sample of representative items whose prices are collected periodically.
CPI是一项数据评估，通过周期性地获取某一个代表性的产品的价格来构建。
A CPI can be used to index (i.e., adjust for the effect of inflation) the real value of wages, salaries, pensions, for regulating prices and for deflating monetary magnitudes to show changes in real values.
CPI指数用来调整通货膨胀的影响，标志着月俸、薪水、补贴等的真实价值。政府可以规范价格，紧缩货币量等手段表现这些真实价值的变化。
其实价格指数price index还有很多其他指标，但是CPI，消费者价格指数因为和我们有着密不可分的关系而为大众所熟知。

OCT你听到过吗？有时候是在药店的时候会遇到噢。OCT究竟是什么意思你也好奇了吗？快来一起看看吧。
OTC其实有两个意思呢。OTC的第一个意思是最常用的，是over-the-counter（在柜台）的缩写。
按照韦氏大字典的解释，OTC是“sold lawfully without prescription”，也就是我们说的非处方药啦。可以在柜台上就买到的药称之为非处方药。
例如：an over–the–counter pain reliever，一剂非处方镇痛药。
OTC作为金融术语还有另一个解释。
Over-the-counter (OTC) or off-exchange trading is to trade financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, commodities or derivatives directly between two parties.
OTC叫做over-the-counter market，也叫做off-exchange trading，是场外交易市场，又称作柜台交易市场。这和交易所市场完全不同，这是交易对手私下协商进行的一对一交易。
这就是OCT的英文意思啦。以后去药店看到OCT不用发怵啦！

想要升职？加薪？总是发现别人比自己过得好？这些困扰会不会占据了你的生活？工作其实只是让我们生活的一部分，有时候我们应该回归于生活本身。看看下面这篇英语美文：生活是杯咖啡。或许你会有所感悟。
Group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and in life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
"What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and do not change the quality of Life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided. So, don't let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead."
一群毕业生，各自的事业都已有所建树，相约一起去看望他们的大学教授。谈话一会儿就变成了各自对工作生活压力的抱怨。教授去厨房端来一大壶咖啡招待这些客人，拿出各式各样的咖啡杯——陶瓷的、塑料的玻璃的、水晶的，有普通的、有价值不斐的、有做工精致的——让他们自己挑。
当所有学生手中都拿了咖啡杯之后，教授发话了：
“如果你们注意一下，就可以发现所有好看的贵的杯子都给挑走了，剩下的只是那些普通的和便宜的。当然，每个人都想给自己挑到那个最好的，这很正常，但这也正是你们的问题和压力根源之所在。”
“其实你们真正想要的是咖啡，而不是杯子，但你们却又都下意识去挑选最好的杯子，并观察别人拿到的杯子。”
“试想：如果生活是杯中的咖啡，工作、财富和社会地位就是那些杯子。它们只是维持生活的工具而已，并不改变生活质量。有时候，我们在过于关注杯子的同时却忘了去品味上帝赐予的咖啡。所以，不要成为杯子的奴隶。。。好好地享受品味杯中的咖啡。”
