There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. 关于情人节的起源有许多种说法。有关人士认为情人节是一个名叫桑特-瓦伦丁的人士发起的。他是罗马人，因为拒绝放弃基督教而于公元前269年2月14日惨遭杀害，这一天也正好是全城盛行彩票抽奖的日子。
Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". 而另外一种说法更具有传奇色彩，相传桑特-瓦伦丁曾留下一本日记给了狱卒的女儿，署名为“你的情人”，据说这名狱卒的女儿就是桑特-瓦伦丁的情人。
Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. 还有其它的说法也颇为有趣。比如说有人认为在克劳迪亚斯君王统治时期，桑特-瓦仑丁曾经是一名神父，因为公然挑战克劳迪亚斯君王的权威身陷囹圄。所以公元前496年罗马教皇格莱西亚斯特意将2月14日作为一个特别的日子以纪念桑特-瓦伦丁。
Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ball. 此后2月14日就成为了一个具有特殊意义的日子。在这天人们向自己心仪的人传递信息以示爱意。而理所当然的桑特 瓦仑丁也就成为了为恋爱中的男女们牵线搭桥的人。在2月14日这天人们会特意做诗或者用一些小礼物送给自己心爱的人。而且人们还会组织各种各样的聚会来庆祝这个特殊的节日。
In the United States, Miss Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first valentine cards. Commercial valentines were introduced in the 1800's and now the date is very commercialised. 艾瑟-霍兰德小姐是美国第一位因为发送情人节卡片而受到荣誉奖励的人。早在19世纪初情人节就已处露商业化的端倪。而如今情人节已经完全被商业化了。 比如每当每年2月14日来临的时候，一些城镇如罗夫兰、克罗拉多等，这里的人们都要派送大量的为情人节特备的卡片。
The town of Loveland, Colorado, does a large post office business around February 14. The spirit of good continues as valentines are sent out with sentimental verses and children exchange valentine cards at school. 而在这天人们往往吟歌做诗并且把这些写入卡片中送个自己喜欢的人以表达自己的爱意。而在学校里孩子门也喜欢互增贺卡来度过这个特殊的节日。久而久之就形成了一种习俗并且延续至今天。
【讲解】It never rains but it pours 是一句俚语，相当于中文中的“祸不单行”。 【例句】 I really feel sorry for Mike. First, his wife left him. Next, he lost his job. Then, somebody stole his car. Like they say, it never rains but it pours. 我真是为迈克感到难受。先是他的太太离开他，然后，他又丢了工作，接着，他的车又被人偷了。这真是像人们所说的，祸不单行呀。
Oh boy! You can’t believe the trouble I had today. My alarm clock didn’t go off, so I missed biology class. Then, I lost my home work assignment for math. I invited my girlfriend to lunch and after we ate, I found I’d left my wallet at home. It never rains but it pours. 咳，你真不会相信今天我有多倒霉。首先，我的闹钟没有响，所以我没有上生物课。然后，我又把我的数学作业给丢了。我请女朋友吃午饭，吃晚饭我才发现我把钱包忘在家里了。呵，这可真是祸不单行

Welcome to New Year. The conventional Happy New Year approach is to think of the New Year as something that happens outside of us. It is a good luck wish that the New Year, in some magical way, will bring us our heart's desire. We look to the New Year to make us happy. 欢迎来到新年。传统的新年快乐祝愿是把新年当作是外在发生的事情。它是一种好运祝福，希望新年以一种神奇的方式，带来我们心中所想。我们期盼着新年让我们快乐。
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. However, when we expect happiness to come to us from the outside we are usually disappointed. Happiness is not guaranteed by sunny weather, a raise in pay, a new car, a beautiful home or anything else of a material nature. External things are often possessed by very unhappy people. 欢迎来到Faith轻松电台，我是Faith。然而，当我们期盼着快乐从外界而来时，我们通常都会失望。快乐并不是由阳光灿烂的天气，长工资，一辆新车，一个漂亮的家或者任何其它物质的东西而担保的。外在物质丰富的人也会是非常不开心的人。
Happiness does not come out of a New Year; it comes out of men and women. Life does not change when we hang a new calendar on the wall or when the clock strikes midnight and a New Year begins. The only way life will change for us is when we change ourselves. 快乐并不来自于新年的到来；它源自人们的内在。生活并不因我们在墙上挂上了新日历或者时钟在午夜敲响新年的钟声而改变。能改变我们的生活的唯一方式是改变我们自己。
This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. at the beginning of New Year, I’m reminded that the source of happiness is not in events happening outside of us; the source of happiness is within us. We cannot control the outside world but we can control our own thoughts and emotions. A new you will surely bring you a brand new year, happy new you! 这里是Faith主持的Faith轻松电台。在这新年的启始，我们提醒自己快乐的源泉并不存在于我们外在发生的事情，快乐的源泉就流淌于我们的内心。我们虽不能控制外在的世界，但我们能够支配我们自己的思想和情感。一个全新的你势必带给你一个崭新的新年，祝全新的你快乐！
Happy New Year! We find ourselves in the first couple of days of 2008, and we sincerely hope that the coming year is one in which you can make happen those wonderful things that you dream for yourself
It's a new day, a new hour, a new minute... 又是崭新的一天，崭新的一小时，崭新的一分钟…
There is something exciting about the new.. 关于“新”总有一些兴奋…
It somehow gives us permission to move on from the old and begin fresh...As you begin this New Year – fresh，give yourself permission to let go of all that no longer serves you well. 不管怎样，“新”意味着告别过去，重新开始，正当你进入这个新年时，请允许自己将过去的一切不愉快抛开。
Travel lighter on your journey with an open heart and feel alive. Make this the year that you live your Authentic Self feeling a sense of freedom like you never have before... 带着一棵开放的心轻装上阵，活力四射。在这新的一年里，活出自信，活出自我，感受着那一种似乎从未有过的自由。
It's that time of year when each of us reflects on the previous year and look ahead to the New Year. As you look ahead to the New Year, ask yourself this important question from your Heart... 每年新年至时，我们每个人都会回顾往年，展望新年。当你展望新年时，可以发自内心地问自己一个重要的问题：

Good day, and welcome to the Christmas issue at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith.
多美的一天啊，欢迎来到Faith轻松电台圣诞专辑，我是Faith。
Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.
No matter where you are or what you may be doing, Christmas offers us an opportunity to focus on peace on earth and goodwill to our fellow human beings.
无论你身在何处，正在做什么，圣诞节赐予了我们机会去专注于地球的和平与人世间美好的愿望。
In a world that seems not only to be changing, but even to be dissolving, there are some tens of millions who want Christmas to be the same. We want to hold on to the old customs and traditions because they strengthen our family ties,
So we will not "spend" Christmas, nor "observe" Christmas. We will "keep" Christmas--keep it as it is…in all the loveliness of its ancient traditions. May we keep it in our hearts that we may be kept in its hope.
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. This is a beautiful new day, a day hopefully full of peace and goodwill in your life. Merry Christmas!
The sun is just rising in the morning of another day. What can I wish that this day may bring me? Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer, nothing at the expense of other men; but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather, as they pass and gather strength. 又一个清晨的朝阳正在升起。我能期盼今天带给我什么呢？我不会去让这个世界或他人变得贫穷，或者损害他人的利益；我许愿今天带给我这些：当他们来到我的身边时并不会打扰我，相反当它们凝聚着力量从我身边掠过时，会触动我的灵魂。
I wish that this day could bring me a few friends, who understand me, and yet remain my friends; I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has real value. 我希望今天会带给我一些朋友，理解我，同时维持着友谊；我也希望今天会带给我一些有真实意义的工作去完成。
I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed, and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart. 我希望今天带给我勇于探索的雄心壮志，去征服还未曾开辟的道路，我还希望今天能带给我一颗善解人意的心。
I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills, and the blue sea stretching to the horizon, and of something beautiful which the hands of men have made. 我希望今天我可以去看那一片蔓延的山岗，还有那消失在地平线的蔚蓝大海，以及人类的双手创造出的美丽万物。
I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor, and the power to laugh, a little leisure with nothing to do. 我希望今天带给我一点幽默感，一些笑的力量，还有一点点闲暇的惬意。
And I crave for a few moments of quiet, silent meditation in the morning of this day…在这个清晨，我还渴望几分钟静静地冥想……
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Welcome to the most easily misunderstood season of all, winter, a beautiful season of intimacy and reflection. I’m Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. 欢迎来到这个最易被误解的季节，冬季。这是一个可以亲密相处，同时又可以静下心来思考的美丽季节。我是Faith轻松电台主持人Faith。
Winter gives us the opportunity to stay inside and look outside, as we're not called outdoors to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. Snuggle up in the sofa, put a blanket over you, have a cup of hot cocoa, and enjoy the observations on this precious season… 当我们没有出外享受温暖和阳光时，冬季为人们创造了一个呆在室内，观察室外的机会。铺条毯子在身上，卷曲在沙发上，喝着一杯热可可，享受着观察这个美丽季节之快乐。
Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: It is the time for home. 冬季是一个享受舒适，美食与温馨的季节。冬季也是传递友谊的季节，冬季还是围坐在火炉旁谈天说地的季节。冬季是享受家之温暖的季节。
During the winter I am content，or try to think I am. There is a wonderful joy in leaving behind the noisy city streets and starting out along the white road that leads across the hills. With each breath of the sharp, reviving air one seems to inhale new life. A peace as evident as the sunshine on the fields takes possession of one's inner being. The trivial cares are driven away by the first sweep of wind that comes straight from the mountains. The intense silence that broods over the snow-bound land is a conscious blessing from the nature. 在冬季，我很满足，或自认为满足。把喧闹的城市街区抛在身后，沿着白皑皑的公路前往山岗。在每一次强烈，复苏的呼吸下，整个人也好像注入了新生。照射在田野上的宁静的阳光同时也感染了我们的内心世界。从山岗上径直吹来的第一丝风也将心中琐碎的烦恼一并吹走。白雪覆盖着的大地显得分外寂静，这是一份来自大自然的祝福。
Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter: Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it. 有时我们的命运就像冬天里的一棵果树：当时，谁会去想这棵果树的枝叶会再次变绿，开花，但我们一直怀有希望，并坚定着信念。 全部作品点评26条鼓励为主 批评为辅 请注意文明用语！
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. Love is a Universal emotion, the goal we all seek, the prize that can make our lives complete and whole. Love is both timeless and, in too many instances, transient. We all believe, if only because we must, that love can be found. Some of us - maybe most of us - have discovered it can also be lost easily…
If I could take this moment forever, Turn the pages of my mind To another place and time, We would never say goodbye. 如果我可以永远拥有这个瞬间， 将我心灵的记忆 倒回到另一个地点及时间， 我们永不会说再见。
If I could find the words, I would speak them, Then I wouldn't be tongue-tied, When I looked into your eyes, We would never say goodbye. 如果我可以找到这些话，我一定要把它们说出来， 这样我的舌头就不会打结， 当我注视着你的眼睛， 我们永不会说再见。
If I could stop the moon ever rising, Day would not become the night, I wouldn't feel this cold inside, And we would never say goodbye. 如果我可以永远地阻止月亮升起来， 白天就不会成为黑夜， 我也就不会感到内心寒冷， 我们也不会说再见。
I wish that our dreams were frozen, Then our hearts would not be broken, When we let each other go... 我希望我们的梦可以冻结， 这样我们的心也就不会破碎， 当我们让彼此成为过去时...
If I could steal this moment forever, Paint a picture-perfect smile, So our story stayed alive, We would never say goodbye. 如果我可以永远地偷走这个瞬间， 画一幅照片式完美的微笑， 这样我们的故事仍在上演， 我们永不说再见。
I release any unpleasantness from the past and let it sail away. I envision it going through the mists of my memories, over the horizon, and out of sight. Love rushes in to fill any empty places within my heart or mind. Now I am free to do what is before me and free to do it better than ever before. I am free to enrich my life and everything concerning me.

There is a place deep within each one of us that is peaceful and serene. This place is known as your Essence...
在我们每个人的内心深处都有一块平静安宁的地方, 那个地方就是你的灵魂。
If you've ever wondered what it feels like to connect with your Essence I'll give you a hint right here at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. As a matter of fact, you've been there many times.
You experience your Essence when you witness a beautiful sunset over the ocean... that feeling of being lost in the horizon as time stands still. Or when you sit quietly in meditation and feel your mind letting go... surrendering into the space between your thoughts.
You've touched your Essence when you blissfully engage in your favorite hobby and suddenly you've lost track of time. You've known your Essence when you've been moved to tears from listening to an artist compose music.
You've experienced your Essence when you've listened to your Intuition and something purposeful has occurred because you trusted yourself.
当你听从你的直觉并相信你自己时，你的愿望终于发生了，而这时，你也体验到了你的灵魂,
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, and I’m Faith. One of the most rewarding aspects of connecting to your Essence is the feeling of deep inner peace. It's a feeling so unique unto itself and you know you wouldn't trade it for anything.
Spirituality is an inner fire, a mystical sustenance that feeds our souls. The mystical journey drives us into ourselves, to a sacred flame at our center. The purpose of the religious experience is to develop the eyes by which we see this inner flame, and our capacity to live its mystery. In its presence, we are warmed and ignited.
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. This poem is dedicated to the most wonderful man I met on the internet. I never planned on falling in love with someone on the net, but he captured my heart and stirred my soul. We have been in love for months now and I love him more than ever. Sometimes the best things in our lives come unlooked for . . . 欢迎来到FAITH轻松电台，我是FAITH。这首诗特别送给我在网上结识的一个非常优秀的男人。 我从未计划通过网络这种方式坠入爱河，但他俘获了我的心，并激发了我的灵魂。 我们已经相爱有数月了， 而我对他的感情也愈发炙热。 有时，我们生活中最美好的事情就是这样不期而至。
I sit here quietly and watch the sun set, Thinking of someone that I've never met. I wonder: does he think of me too? Needless to say I am thinking of you. 我静静地坐在这里，看着夕阳西落， 思念着一个我从未谋面的人。 我问自己：他也想我吗？ 无可置疑地我正在想着你。
Wanting to hold you, to see your face, and you take me away to a better place. You feel so right, too good to be true, I just can't stop thinking of you. 想要拥抱你，看着你的脸庞， 想要你带我去到一个更美妙的地方。 你的完美，你的好，几乎不真实， 我就是无法停止去想你。
My friends say that I might regret Losing my heart to a guy I've never met. I say there is nothing I can do, I cannot help thinking of you. 朋友们说我会后悔， 把我的心交给一个未曾谋面的人。 我说我就是控制不住， 禁不住要去想你。。。
I believe you were made special for me, But wonder if dreams could come true? I'm tired of being so alone and blue, But I always smile when thinking of you. 我相信你专为我而生， 但又担心梦想是否能成真？ 我已厌倦孤独与忧郁， 但每当想着你，我总会微笑。
"Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up." -James Baldwin 爱情并不以我们所认为的方式开始或结束。 爱情是一场战役，爱情是战争，爱情是长大成熟。
"Life is the flower for which love is the honey." -Victor Hugo 生活是花朵，而爱情就是这花朵中的蜜。
Welcome to autumn at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith.
欢迎来到Faith轻松电台和Faith一起回忆这个秋季。
Autumn is easily my favorite time of the year. The days have cooled down, the leaves have turned yellow, and the world is busy preparing herself for winter. There's something magical about the clear brisk days, the first smell of the woodstove or the fireplace, the first frost, the canning of the late fruits and vegetables, the pumpkin and cider stands on the roadways.
There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen. Fallen leaves lying on the grass in the November sun bring more happiness than the daffodils.
School has started, and there's newness in the air. Even though the season is the precursor to winter, somehow, the world knows that winter is necessary, and the long preparation for the cold of winter--the preparation that is autumn--is a beautiful, necessary part of the world.
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith.
欢迎来到Faith轻松电台，我是Faith。
Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion: like stress, anger, or frustration. Were you able to think as you were going through that negativity? Today let me show you a simple but effective exercise to deal with a negative emotion.
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop！Whatever you're doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you're sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.
Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Take the entire minute, but only one minute, to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
Once you've allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly. If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is ok. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.
When you feel you've had enough of the emotion, take a deep breath, as you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
当你觉得已经足够了的时候，深吸一口气，当你呼气时，把所有的消极情绪也一起释放出去。
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.
Meditation is when you focus your attention to help you feel calm, relaxed and stress-free. Meditation gives you a clear consciousness about yourself as a person and a clear understanding of your life.
Hi there, and welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. Life is going on and on, and it's carrying us with it as it goes. I hope that you're able to pay close attention to the journey and get all you can out of it, enjoying all these moments that you've been given along the way. . . .
Life is the experience of being you; no one can ever be someone other than who they are...
生活就是展现你自己；没有人比做自己更真实自然，更得心应手了。
The beauty found in each and every person is the essence of life...Simply, you are who you are and for whatever time you have to be, you must not try to shadow yourself, but, rather, express yourself...let your spirit guide you!
All you need is deep within you，it is an inner fire waiting to unfold and reveal itself. All you have to do is be still and take time to seek what is within, and you will surely find it.
When we were born, we were programmed perfectly. We had a natural tendency to focus on love. Our imaginations were creative and flourishing, and we knew how to use them. We were connected to a world much richer than the one we connect to now, a world full of enchantment and a sense of the miraculous.
So what happened? Why is it that we reached a certain age, looked around, and the enchantment was gone?
那么我们到底怎么了？为什么当我们年岁渐长，环顾四周时却发现原来生活的魅力已经不复存在了？
Because we were taught to focus elsewhere; We were taught to think unnaturally；We were taught a way of looking at the world that contradicts who we are；We were taught that things like grades, being good enough, money, and doing things the right way, are more important than love.
Love is what we were born with；Fear is what we learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment, or unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. Love is the essential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.
Meaning doesn't lie in things. Meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren't love -- the money, the car, the house, the prestige -- we love things that can't love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless.
This is Faith from Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. Love is the intuitive knowledge of our hearts. It's a "world beyond" that we all secretly long for. An ancient memory of this love haunts all of us all the time, and beckons us to return.
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.
Welcome to the 5-minute vacation at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith.
欢迎来到Faith轻松电台收听五分钟轻松假期，我是Faith。
Begin by taking a nice, deep, cleansing breath in, and as you exhale, release all the stress, tension and strain from your day. Breathing as you relax, relaxing as you breathe…
Imagine now that you are walking down a path, a path leading to a beautiful, tropical sandy beach, the air is cool, as it gently brushes by your face. As you walk along the ocean’s shore land, you feel the warm sand between your toes, just stop, you see a canoe, a chaise longue beneath a blue umbrella, go there now, sit down, stretch and just relax.
As you hear the ocean’s wave’s lullaby in you, you move deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation, breathing as you relax, relaxing as you breathe, gently hearing the soft wind whispering through the palm trees; as you relax, feeling so serene, so calm, and peaceful, feeling the warmth of the sun as it nourishes your entire body, relaxing, releasing, and letting go…
Breathe into this place, deep within, so serene, so peaceful, and know that you can return to this place whenever you wish, this is your place of peace.
It’s time now to return from your journey, begin to gently bring yourself back, beginning to feel your hands and your feet, and noticing your surroundings, bringing yourself back, feeling refreshed, enlightened, and ready to continue your day with a new sense of awareness.
When times become difficult (and you know they sometimes will), remember a moment in your life that was filled with joy and happiness. Remember how it made you feel, and you will have the strength you need to get through any trial.
When life throws you one more obstacle than you think you can handle, remember something you achieved through perseverance and by struggling to the end. In doing so, you'll find you have the ability to overcome each obstacle brought your way.
When you find yourself drained and depleted of energy, remember to find a place of sanctuary and rest.
当你觉得精疲力尽的时候，暂时离开，让自己稍作休息。
Take the necessary time in your own life to dream your dreams and renew your energy, so you'll be ready to face each new day.
从你的生活中多抽出点时间去梦想，重振你的精力，你会完全准备好又去迎接新的一天。
When you feel tension building, find something fun to do. You'll find that the stress you feel will dissipate and your thoughts will become clearer.
当你感觉到紧张的压力，做一些有乐趣的事吧。你会发现压力在渐渐消逝，你的想法也渐渐明朗了。
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. When you're faced with so many negative and draining situations, realize how minuscule problems will seem when you view your life as a whole--and remember the positive things.
My mind has a vast storage of memories. What’s incredible is that, when I recall any memory no matter how trivial, it has the same effect on my brain as experiencing that event for the first time right now. My brain does not know the difference between now and the memories of yesteryear.
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. Here is our latest program, a humble effort offered to you in the hopes that you'll find something here that is worth your while, something that moves or inspires or motivates you in very positive ways.
It's not easy... loving yourself unconditionally, because we've learned to judge ourselves...
全心全意爱自己，这并不容易，因为我们对自己总是很挑剔。
We seem to be driven to find what we perceive as "the missing piece" in our lives as if we are flawed, or not good enough. Somehow enough never seems like enough and we live our lives in a constant and never ending search which leaves us exhausted.
What we forget are the sweet moments of being present with ourselves like we are when watching a sunset.
我们忘却了那些当我们与心灵交汇时的美好时光，比如说当我们观望着日落时的那份美丽和宁静。
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. Today, I’m inviting you to take time to be present within yourself, dwell in your heart space, and give yourself a well deserved break from striving and struggling...
Just be in the present moment and allow yourself to stop searching for more and to notice how much you already have inside.
沉静在现在这个时刻，让自己停止索求更多，只是关注于你内心的丰富。
Everyday we’re preoccupied with obligations and responsibilities under great pressures from others and from ourselves, and what we truly ignore or forget are ourselves. From today on, let’s start to love ourselves, unconditionally!
Often we start looking for love in all the wrong places. For some reason many of us believe that love actually resides outside of us, when really it resides within us. If as a starting point, you make the decision to love and accept every aspect of yourself, the good, the bad and the ugly; you will find that love will naturally begin gravitating towards you. Not only that, you will begin to see love and beauty in all things.
I remember quite clearly now when the story happened.
我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候。
The autumn leaves were floating in measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were.
But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely conscious, you said: Our love story is ending.
The rain was killing the last days of summer; you had been killing my last breath of love since a long time ago. I still don't think I'm gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me.
And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I'm watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.
我只有，悄然伫立，早已明白自己将会是那个被遗弃的人。而我依然凝望着湖水，恍惚中，生命正离我而去。
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. When I first heard the name of the story: Lake of Autumn, I knew I would love it. This is me: a sentimental woman. Here to those who are already in love or who are seeking love, cherish your love!
There lies in the heart of every man and woman a quiet hunger：a longing for an earth shaking significance. It can be heard in the quiet, most unedited times like when our head hits the pillow at night. As the pressures of the day fade away the voice catches our attention: “I was meant for more than this, there has got to be something more.”
Many people have learned to accept a life of quiet resignation, committed to maintaining the status-quo. But still, in the times we least expect it, we hear that distant call again: a call for meaning, purpose, passion, significance. It continues to haunt us, to stalk us, and as we try to silence it with reason and maturity we find that indeed, it is a fire within our bones and it will not yield.
Our suspicions are correct. There is a larger story and we have a role to play in it. It has been said that what a man does during his life shall echo throughout eternity.
If you are ready to find your purpose, find the voice. Go back to the places that you have heard it most clear. For some it comes in the early morning, before the cares of the day have drowned them out. For others it comes through music, or movies, or books, or it is found on a walk through the woods or on the side of a mountain.
This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. Find the voice again and listen, allow it to stir you up again, and then begin to move in the direction it calls.

Hi, welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. I’m Faith.
欢迎收听Faith轻松电台，我是Faith。
It's very easy to forget to relax during our hectic days and nights, during the time when we're constantly trying to get things done. So many of us are spending so much time on our jobs and our extra tasks in life that we tend to forget to slow down and reassess what we're doing and why.
So take a deep, slow breath. No, really--go ahead. Take a deep, slow breath, taking in as much air as you can as slowly as you can. Feel your lungs fill, and then hold the breath for five to ten seconds.
Let your breath out slowly, feeling the stress leave your body as you exhale. The hurry and the stress can ride out of your body and mind in the air that you breathe out, and if you can allow your mind to focus on the breathing, you can slow down those thoughts that are running around in your mind at about a million miles an hour.
Take in another deep breath, slowly and surely. Hold it for five to ten seconds, and then exhale slowly…slowly…slowly…
做第二次深呼吸，慢慢地，实在地。屏住呼吸5到10秒，慢慢地呼气，慢慢地…慢慢地…慢慢地…
There are many important things in your life that you need to take care of, but if you take the time to relax and treat yourself well, you will find that these few minutes of relaxation can provide a huge benefit for you.
So take another deep breath, very slowly, and hold it in. Release it slowly and feel the tension leave your body with the air. If you do this ten to fifteen times, you'll find yourself feeling energized, relaxed, and in a more positive state of mind.
Learning to relax is the greatest gift we can give ourselves, the benefits of taking a few minutes of our busy day to relax are many, relaxation brings us peace of mind, a calm emotional state of being, improved health, increased energy, and far less stress held within the body.
How often do people begin to get close to realizing their dreams, to changing their lives, and they hit a "stop sign"? Maybe they "stop" because there isn't enough money to take the next step, or they are afraid to leave the certain safety and security of their current job to change careers - the fear of the unknown. What will happen when you cross the boundaries that have been ingrained into your thinking?
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. Today I would like to bring up a new concept “stop, and then move forward”. The word Stop means do not go progress - do not move forward - immediately discontinue the action at hand. When we were children, "stops" were given to us for our safety and well being. But, now that we're grown up, how many of us still use "stops" as a safety net? What devices that were used to keep us safely within our boundaries are we hanging on to that prevents us from advancing?
When you hit a stop, you have a two-step choice: first, stop, do not move forward, do not pass go, stay with the familiar and remain at status quo. Then, find that little nudge, that hand in the small of your back, which gently pushes you to take the first step beyond your present boundaries, for with each step you take, you are that much closer to achieving your goals and realizing your dreams.
Try to look at all the stop signs, and obstacles in your life as positives. They are opportunities to push your limits, and find a way to move forward. They are momentary pauses on the path to success!
Difficulties arise in the lives of us all. What is most important is dealing with the hard times, coping with the changes, and getting through to the other side where the sun is still shining just for you.
It takes a strong person to deal with tough times and difficult choices. But you are a strong person.
只有强者才能勇敢直面困难时刻，做出艰难抉择。而你正是这样一位强者。
It takes courage. But you possess the inner courage to see you through.
要有勇气。你拥有披荆斩棘的勇气。
It takes being an active participant in your life. But you are in the driver's seat, and you can determine the direction you want tomorrow to go in.
你必须在这场游戏人生中积极主动。而且你正在驾驭这场游戏，并决定着自己明天前进的方向。
Hang in there... and take care to see that you don't lose sight of the one thing that is constant, beautiful, and true: Everything will be fine---and it will turn out that way because of the special kind of person you are.
坚持再坚持，别让你的视野迷失了那不变的美好真理：一切都会好转的，因为你是如此的与众不同。
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. So...beginning today and lasting a lifetime through---Hang in there, and don't be afraid to feel like the morning sun is shining...just for you.
This poem is about someone whom I deeply cared about. The feelings were never returned, but I learned that with or without his love, I could make it and always remain strong and happy.
Words of wisdom come to my ears,
Telling me what I know in my heart,
But never wanted to hear.
With the truth finally said and out in the open
for me to plainly see,
I wonder why I can love so deeply
but never had that love returned back to me.
I confessed the feelings that I held inside for so long,
But with his soft- hearted rejection,
I realize I have to be strong.
With tears that want to flow from my eyes,
I feel that my heart,
along with my composure, slowly dies.
While this dramatic side is showing through
with my ability to question and reason,
I think I may have found something in me
that I can believe in.
Love hurts . . .
That's what they all say,
But I will love again
when all this pain and sorrow goes away.
So I sit and think of all the things this situation has cost,
And I realize that nothing very important has been lost.
Instead, a learning experience has come from all this.
I've learned that hardly anything is more important

点燃你的激情
Imagine that your feelings are a child within. If you ignore this child - by ignoring your feelings - this child feels abandoned. Our refusal to feel and take responsibility for our own pain is an inner abandonment and results in anxiety, depression, or inner emptiness.
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. Learning to manage the pain of loneliness is essential to discovering your passion and purpose. There is no way of managing loneliness without a deep and personal connection to a spiritual source of love and wisdom. We cannot manage loneliness from our mind alone.
It is our child within: our feeling self that has the blueprint for what has meaning for us, for our passion and purpose. Each of us comes to this planet with a deep purpose to express, and when we don't express this purpose, we end up feeling empty and depressed. Yet we cannot discover this purpose when we keep a lid on our feelings.
You will find deep meaning in your life when you decide to open to and learn from your feelings of loneliness rather than continue to shut them down. And you will open to these feelings only when you do not feel alone inside due to experiencing the love and wisdom of your spiritual Guidance. Opening to divine Love and opening to your feelings will bring you the fullness, joy, passion and purpose that are the yearnings of your soul.
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. How often do we come to a place in life where we feel there is no hope, no purpose for going on, no anything to live for? Some of us come to this place often while others just visit once in a while. But I am sure, most of us have been there one time or another.
During such times, the pain is intense, the fear is beyond comprehension and the confusion is great. What do we do at such times? Where do we go? Who do we ask for help? Where do we turn?
But there is always hope, always help if we can clear our heads, still our minds and listen to the deep calm voice that comes from somewhere deep within us. This voice has always been there and it will continue to be there. All we have to do is listen…
By being quiet within and listening to the guidance that comes from our soul, we will be led to take the right actions, meet the right people, ask the right questions and find the perfect solution to the problem which haunts us.
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. All you have to do is try it for yourself. You'll be amazed how seemingly impossible problems disappear as the mists before the morning sun.
FAITH轻松电台NO.7 我喜欢这种淡淡的感觉 Google提供的广告 深圳启德雅思,托福,sat考试培训 深圳启德雅思权威培训机构,开设VIP一对一 一对四，为您量身定制学习课程, www.szqdpx.org/Tel:0755-33330291 81分收听2668次 挑战该作品 下载作品 [网页划词已启用]节目介绍 I like the subtle...我喜欢这种淡淡的感觉
I like the subtle fresh green budding from the branches of the tree -- the herald of spring, ushering in the dawn...
I like the subtle flow of cloud that makes the sky seem even more vast, azure and immense...
I like the subtle wind. In spring, it steals a kiss on my cheek; in autumn, it caresses my face; in summer, it brings in cool sweet smell; in winter, it carries a crisp chilliness...
I like the subtle taste of tea that lasts long after a sip. The subtle bitter is what it is meant to be...
I like the subtle friendship that does not hold people together. Instead, an occasional greeting spreads our longings far beyond...
I like the subtle longing for a friend, when I sink deeply in a couch, mind wandering in memories of the past...
Love should also be subtle, without enslaving the ones fallen into her arms. Not a bit less nor a bit more...
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. I’m Faith.
Subtle friendship is true; subtle greetings are enough; subtle love is tender; subtle longing is deep; subtle wishes come from the bottom of your heart...
There are times when we are faced with illnesses, disorders, disabilities some type of tragedy that causes us to lose contact with ourselves and the world in which we live. Our happiness begins to fade and our heart begins to grow heavy. This affects the way we think, live, feel and the way we look at life.
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. None of us can be happy all the time. During times of tragedy, it is natural and even beneficial to be sad, but not to hold unhappy, anger or any negative emotion that takes control. We must heal ourselves emotionally and spiritually.
Talk with optimistic and encouraging people for they bring a sense of hope into the world, a new meaning to life. They help you see past the clouds on a glooming day，they bring sunlight everyday.
Happiness is when you are with people who love you for who you are, this is the true meaning of love and friendship. Each day you are reborn with love and
joy when you realize that you have people by your side that care.
This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. Just let you know, whenever or wherever you’re sad, this online radio program is always by your side.
A friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out
别人都走开的时候，朋友仍与你在一起
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend, someone who changes your life just being part of it; Someone who makes you laugh until you can’t stop; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world; Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.
When you’re down, and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full; Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times.
If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows; If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on; Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be ok.
This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. I do hope this online radio program could be your forever friend. At the end of today’s program, please allow me to say: thank you for dropping by.
It's quiet. It's early. The sky is still black. The world is still asleep.
万籁寂静，一切还早。天空仍漆黑一片，整个世界还在沉睡。
In a few moments the day will arrive. It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun. The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day. The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding pace of the human race.
The refuge of the early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met.
For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the day's demands. It is now that I must make a choice. I'm free to choose, and so I choose…
在未来的12个小时里，我将会有所作为。就是现在，我必须作出抉择。我可以自由抉择，因此我选择……
I choose love ..No occasion justifies hatred; No injustice warrants bitterness. I choose joy ...I will refuse the temptation to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker. I choose peace ...I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that I may live. I choose patience…I will overlook the inconveniences of the world. Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage. I choose gentleness…Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle.
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. Here is our latest program, a humble effort that I hope will serve some purpose in your life, whether it be to inspire you, to teach you something new, to motivate you, or even just to entertain you for a while. Please enjoy this issue!
What would you do if you get lost? Well, my answer is pretty simple, Listen to Your Heart.
当你迷茫的时候，你会做什么? 我的答案很简单，倾听你的心声。
Your Heart is a bridge and it is the source of your connecting to the intimacy with all of life. This deep connection within your Heart is what fulfills you in life. It is here, in your Heart, where you know and feel love.
Deep within the Heart of each one of us there is a voice of Knowing, a voice of Truth. This Truth, this Knowing, will never fail you nor will it ever fail me. You can trust this.
In those moments when we listen and follow our intuition, our inner wisdom, we are profoundly empowered. As a matter of fact, the greatest benefit to me personally has been the joy, courage, passion, unconditional love and self acceptance I have come to know by listening and living from my Heart.
You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. I’m Faith. Remember: Whenever you feel lost, just listen to your heart. Things will become simple, and your heart will lead you to find the truth.

Manther is a middle-aged man who seeks sexual or romantic relationships with significantly younger women. 少女猎手是那些总喜欢和比自己小很多的女性发生性关系或谈恋爱的中年男子。 Lee Rangel is a Manther, but likes older women as well. The 57-year old is dating a 36-year old. "Usually women that are older are married. They have multiple children and they don't really like to have a lot of fun, the ones that I've met. And women that are younger tend to want to go do things and have fun and enjoy themselves and that's what I like to do." 李?兰杰尔是一个少女猎手，但也喜欢老女人。57岁的他正在和一个36岁的女人约会。“年龄大一些的女人通常都已经结婚了。就我认识的那些，她们都有一大帮孩子要养，也不是很喜欢尽兴玩乐。年轻一点的女性则会想去做点新鲜事，尽情享乐，这也是我所喜欢的。” Women are often interested in older men because they appear more mature, self-assured, confident and the attraction could be the result of an unavailable father. While an age difference doesn't necessarily mean trouble for a couple, there could be age-related problems. 女人对老男人感兴趣是因为他们看上去更成熟、自信。这种吸引力可能源于女人缺乏父爱。尽管年龄差距不一定会导致情侣或夫妻之间的矛盾，但是年龄差距过大也会产生一些问题。
A few fraternity brothers needed to fill a science requirement in order to graduate, so they spent weeks studying for the final.
The day of the exam arrived and they were more than ready for the test. The teacher pulled out a chart, and on it were different pictures of bird's legs. The teacher said, "This is your exam. Name these birds by their legs."
After ten minutes one boy stood up, absolutely furious, and slammed the paper down on the teachers desk. "Dammit!" he hollered. "You knew I needed to pass this exam to graduate. How could you do this to me?"
The guy begins to leave the room and the teacher yells at him, "Hey you, boy, what's your name?" The student pulls up his pants, revealing his legs, and says, "I don't know sir. You tell me." 几位大学社团成员必须修满科学必修课才能毕业，所以他们花了几个礼拜为毕业考试复习。 到了考试那天，他们已准备得相当充分了。老师取出一张图表，上面是各种鸟类下肢的图片。老师说：“这就是你们的考试，根据鸟类的腿部说出它们的名称。” 过了十分钟，一个男生站起来，气得不行，把卷子往老师桌上一摔。“奶奶个腿的！”他骂了起来，“你明知我非得过了这门考试才能毕业，怎么可以跟我整这个？” 这小子迈步要出教室，老师高声喝住他：“喂，你，那男生，你叫什么名字？”男生撩起裤脚，露出大腿，说：“我不知道，先生，你来跟我说说！”

A question often asked is: What are the marks of an educated man? It is plain that one may gain no inconsiderable body of learning in some special field of knowledge without at the same time acquiring those habits and traits which are the marks of an educated gentleman. An education will make its mark and find its evidences in certain traits, characteristics, and capacities which have to be acquired by patient endeavor, by following good examples, and by receiving wise discipline and sound instructions.
These traits or characteristics may be variously described and classified, but among them are five that should always stand out clearly enough to be seen by all men.
The first of these is correctness and precision in the use of the mother tongue. When one hears English well spoken, with pure diction, correct pronunciation, and an almost unconscious choice of the right word, he recognizes it at once.
A second and indispensable trait of the educated man is refined and gentle manners, which are themselves the expression of fixed habits of thought and action. “Manners make the man,” wrote William of Wykeham over his gates at Winchester and at Oxford.
A third trait of the educated man is the power and habit of reflection. Human beings for the most part live wholly on the surface or far beyond the present moment and that part of the future which is quickly to follow it.
A fourth trait of the educated man is the power of growth. He continues to grow and develop from birth to his dying day. His interests expand, his contacts multiply, his knowledge increases, and his reflection becomes deeper and wider.
A fifth trait of the educated man is his possession of efficiency, or the power to do. The mere visionary dreamer, however charming or however wise, lacks something that an education requires.
Given these five characteristics, one has the outline of an educated man. That outline may be filled by scholarship, by literary power, by mechanical skills, by professional zeal and capacity, by business competence, or by social and political leadership. 人们常问：“有教养者的标志是什么？”显然，一个人在某一知识领域造诣颇深，不一定同时就获得有教养之士的标志——文明的习惯与特性。一种教育会在某些特性、特点和能力方面留下标记，并从中找到其证据，而这些特性、特点和能力必须通过耐心努力、仿效榜样、接受明智的训练和正确的指导方可获得。
Before you sign a lease or renew your lease, take the time to talk to your landlord（n.房东） and try negotiating. Oftentimes if you are willing to sign a longer lease, your landlord may be willing to reduce your monthly rent. If he or she doesn't seem receptive（adj.善于接受） to lowering your monthly rent, try getting him or her to include utilities（n.公用工程） or parking in your rent. 在你签下合约或续签合约之前，花点时间跟你的房主协商一下。通常情况下如果你愿意签较长的租约，你的房主可能会给你减一些月租。如果他/她不太愿意给你减月租，那你可以试试让他/她包水电费或停车费。
2.Have Roommates 找一个合租人
A foolproof （adj.万无一失的）way to save money on rent is to have a roommate or two. Take advantage of Craigslist or Roommates.com and find a couple roommates. Living with roommates is much cheaper than renting your own studio or one bedroom apartment.
Find out if your landlord will give you a rent reduction（n.减少） if you help him or her find a new tenant（n.房客）. Sometimes landlords will reduce your rent for a month if you help them fill a vacant（adj.空的） apartment.
Make your apartment feel like a home by decorating frugally（adv.节俭地）. If you enjoy photography, grab your camera and go take some pictures. Then use them as decorations around your apartment. Or, if you enjoy pottery(n.陶艺), showcase(v. 展示在陈列柜里面) your creations in your apartment.
When you start the process of furnishing your apartment, take advantage of sites such as Freecycle or Craigslist to find free or cheap furniture. Also, reach out to family and friends who may be trying to get rid of their unwanted furniture. There is no reason to buy new furniture for your place when you can save money by taking advantage of other people's unwanted couches, chairs, tables, or whatever else you may need.
今天介绍一个我个人很喜欢的英语单词：passion：n.激情, 热情，爱好, 酷爱 Discover your passion. 点燃你的激情。 Soccer is her passion. 足球是她酷爱的体育运动。
Have a passion for something: 酷爱…, 热爱．．． He had a passion for music. 他酷爱音乐。 I have a passion for my online Radio program. 我热爱我的网络电台节目． You may have a passion for her, but it is not love. 你也许对她怀有强烈的感情，但这不是爱情。
Linda 最近好像恋爱了，但她自己还不确定，她说了下面这句话： This boy I’m seeing is a little bit shy, but I still like him overall. 和我约会的那个男生有些害羞，但我整体上还是喜欢他的． 下面，来介绍这句话：I still like it overall: 意思是整体上你还是喜欢的（有部分你不喜欢的，部分你喜欢的，整体你还是喜欢的） This idea sounds a little bit crazy, but I still like it overall. 这个主意听上去有点疯狂，但我整体上还是喜欢的． My job requires working extra hours, but I still like it overall. 我的工作需要加班，但总体来说我还是喜欢这份工作的。
Overall: adj.总体的; 全面的，综合的，全面考虑的 We have finished overall homework. 我们已完成所有的家庭作业。 We did an overall consideration of the matter at last. 最后我们又对这个问题作了全盘考虑。
Overall ：adv.大体上, 总的来说 Overall, prices are still rising. 总的说来, 价格仍在上涨。 How much will it cost overall? 一共加起来多少钱呢？
My current husband is a bit much sometimes, but I still love him overall. (我的现任丈夫有时会有点过分，但整体上我还是爱他的)。
当我们看英文电影时，经常听到“By all means”这个词组，”I’ll be your friend by
all Means”, “He’ll come by all means”, 那么“By all means”究竟是什么意思呢？它是“当然可以，一定，务必”的意思，相当于我们很熟悉的”certainly”, “of course”, 当然，如果我们学会更丰富的英语表达，您的口语听上去不是更地道吗？我们听听下面的小对话：
A：Could you help me with my English? 你能帮我学英语吗？
B: By all means. 没问题，交给我了。
A: You’ll pick me up at the airport tomorrow, will you? 你明天要来机场接我，行吗？
B: I’ll make it by all means. 我一定去接你。
下面，进入今天的正题，如何表达不满情绪。有一个很简单的词：“issue” [‘isu:]
就可以到了。“issue”是个名词，是“问题, 议题; 争论点”的意思，如果我有些不满，我就可以说： I have some issues. 意思是“我有些意见，有些不满”。
所以说，想表达“有点意见, 有些不满”，就用“have some issues”。那么，如果是对某人有意见，怎么办呢？ 好办得很呢，在“have some issues”后面加个介词”with”，就行了：
I have some issues with my boss lately. 我最近对我的老板有些意见。
Janet has some issues with her parents. 珍丽对她的父母有些情绪。
如果你对某事有看法，不满，可以在“have some issues”后加个介词“on”或者”about”,
She has some issues on her new job. 她对她的新工作不太满意。
We have some issues about our welfare policy. 我们对我们的福利制度有些看法。
如果不满情绪很严重，看法很大，如何利用好“issue”这个词呢？在它前面加个“big”或”major”把情绪严重化：Faith, I do have a big issue on your teaching style. 天哪，我的学生开始抱怨了。
成功并不难，关键在坚持。大家好，欢迎收听Faith口语课堂-天天学，我是Faith老师。如果你是刚刚发现我们的这个在线英语口语课堂，希望以后能坚持天天跟着我学英语！ ? 今天，我们会学习坚持某事的英语表达法，在学之前，先来看一个和坚持相关的词： stubborn, 顽固的; 固执的 He is a stubborn child. 他是个固执的孩子。
Facts are stubborn. 事实是不可否认的。
Persevere: vi. 坚忍, 坚持一直做某事, 不屈不挠， persevere in something/doing something… Although he is in poor health, he still perseveres in his studies. 尽管他身体不好, 他仍孜孜不倦地学习。
They are determined to persevere in the fighting against corruption. 他们誓将反腐进行到底。
那么，Persevere的名词形式是：perseverance, He’s a man having powers of endurance and perseverance. 他是个有耐力和毅力的人。
下面，我们来介绍：insist on something/doing something, 坚持要做某事; 强调某事： He insisted on his demand. 他坚持他的要求。
He insists on discipline in the classroom. 他一贯强调课堂纪律。
She insisted on leaving at once. 她坚持立刻就走。
The teacher insisted on all the homework being handed in on Monday. 老师坚持要求所有作业都要在星期一交上来。
But for the moment, I’m afraid we must insist on our usual payment terms. 目前，我恐怕还得坚持我们惯用的付款方式。
