人生处处面临选择
范文1：
This simple picture represents a situation that every person must face:
when approaching a junction, which direction should one choose? Most viewers can empathize with the sense of hesitation and uncertainty embodied in such an image. Without exception, everyone has to make choices in life, whether they concern school, career, or love. While some choices are simple, one cannot avoid the task of making difficult decisions.
Choices are often directly related to one's happiness. University students, for example, face a hard and crucial decision upon graduating. Many students have difficulty deciding whether to continue studying or begin developing a career. Every individual is different, and one must take the factors of one's personal life into consideration. In addition to an awareness of specific circumstances, however, making the right choice also depends on correct appraisal of oneself.
In order to choose correctly, therefore, one must be both realistic and self aware. Furthermore, once having made a decision, one should seriously accept and pursue the path one has chosen, and strive towards the realization of one's goal with spirit.
译文：这幅简单的画表现了我们每个人都要面对的情况：走到岔路口了，该选择哪条路呢？
大多数读者都能感受到这幅画中包含的犹豫和彷徨。毫无例外，每个人在一生中都要多次做出选择 ——无论是涉及到学业、职业还是爱情。虽然有些选择很容易，但一个人无法回避艰难的选择。
选择通常直接关系到一个人的幸福。比如对大学生来说，临近毕业就面临着一个艰难而至关重要的选择——很多学生难以决定是继续求学还是开始自己的职业生涯。每个人的情况都不相同，所以一个人应该把自己生的方方面面都考虑到。除了对周围特定的环境要有清楚的了解外，做出正确的选择还依赖于有一个正确的自我评价。因此，一个人为了做出正确选择，必须既现实又清醒。此外，一个人一旦做出了决定，就应该严肃地承认并奉行既定的路线，鼓起勇气为实现自己的目标而奋斗。
