世界節(jié)假日博覽 第38期:積極行動日

　　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 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 as a child, abuse, drugs, the death of close family members and other setbacks. Every time he bounced back through positive thinking.

　　積極行動日會在每年的3月1日舉行。這一天能夠讓我們有機會來創(chuàng)造不同，做一些有積極意義的事情。這或許會讓我們的生活往好的方面發(fā)展。盡管這個世界充斥著負面的訊息，消極的人物和形象。但是這一天能夠讓我們將其扭轉(zhuǎn)。一位名叫哈羅德·卡梅倫的澳大利亞男子創(chuàng)辦了這一節(jié)日。他的一生都在將負面轉(zhuǎn)化為正面。哈羅德在“積極網(wǎng)站”上稱：“孩童時的我體弱多病。我想我活不了了，但是我活過來了。”他向我們解釋了他是如何戰(zhàn)勝被遺棄、虐待、毒品、至親去世以及其他挫折的。每一次他都是通過積極思想轉(zhuǎn)危為安的。

　　One of Harold’s messages is do not procrastinate. 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 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.

　　哈羅德告訴我們的是不要拖延。今日事今日畢。他說如果你今天的事情不做，那么就永遠不會去做。他對在這一天要干什么提了幾點建議。下面是幾條建議。你覺得如何。早上第一件事是對別人說一句帶有積極色彩的單詞，或是發(fā)布一句激勵性的語句來供人們閱讀?你可以在學(xué)校或是在工作單位向你遇見的第一個人說一句正面意義的單詞。哈羅德還建議捐贈一些你用不著的東西給需要幫助的人。積極起來，積極行動日也或許可以讓你的生活向著你理想的方向發(fā)展。寫下你最大的人生目標，并努力實現(xiàn)。你能做到。
