【中英文稿】一分钟英文演讲:The power of habits
Our everyday habits form our future selves.
我们的日常习惯决定了我们的未来。
What you do today is one more action toward who you will be tomorrow. When that action is replicated over the course of a week, you begin to scratch the surface of change. When that action is replicated over the course of a month, you begin to notice a slight difference. When tha(t) action is replicated over the course of a year, or two years, or five years, you may no longer recognize yourself — you will have changed, in that particular way, completely.
今天你所做的,决定了你明天会成为谁。当你连续一周重复同一个行为时,你就开始触及变化的表面。当你连续一个月重复同一个行为时,你就能注意到细微的变化。当这一动作在一年、两年或五年内被复制时,那是你可能就不认识自己了—因为你已经完全变了一个人。
Do not underestimate the power of each an(d) every small habit, replicated over time. For good or bad, your habits determine who you will ultimately become.
不要低估每个小习惯的力量,小习惯会随着时间日积月累。不管是好的习惯或者坏的习惯,都会决定你最终会成为什么样的人。
