关于勇气的英语美文欣赏courage勇气

　　courage  勇气

　　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．

　　生活之中的勇气，通常不会像千钧一发时的勇气那样充满戏剧性；但他人不失为是一个胜利与悲剧的壮观组合。一个人将个人得失，障碍、危险还有压力抛在脑后，只是做他必须做的，而这便是人类一切道德的基础。

　　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，不需要突出的品质，不需要秘诀，不需要天时地利，每个人或早或晚都有机会。政治不过是对勇气进行特别考验的一个竞技场而已，在人生的每一个竞技场上勇气都会前来挑战。如果你跟随你的良心，那么任何东西都可能被牺牲：朋友，财产，满足，甚至是别人对你的尊重。走哪条路只能由自己来决定。前人的故事可以告诉你什么叫勇敢。他们能够教你，能够给你希望和灵感，但不能给你真正的勇气，要得到它你必须要发掘自己的灵魂。
