Facing the Future

For many of us, it's something we already have experienced.One moment, we are lying comfortably in bed, about to fall into a deep sleep.The next, our eyes are open and we find ourselves wondering or even worrying about possibly the most important issue of our lives — the future[1]．Will we get into the school of our choice? What will we be doing in ten years' time? Can we become the person we really want to be? In the face of① such questions, how should we approach the future? Can we take action② to shape it, or should we just accept whatever comes our way [2]?

[1]句中find ourselves wondering or even worrying about...为现在分词作宾语补足语。

[2]whatever引导宾语从句。

As many of us already know, having plans in place for the future is no guarantee③ that they will become reality [3]．In this respect④， some people are more fortunate⑤ than others, as can be illustrated⑥ by comparing the lives of two famous authors, born 40 years apart [4]．Although they shared the same ambitious and energetic approach to life [5], their careers unfolded⑦ in contrasting ways.

[3]句中动名词短语作主语。that引导的同位语从句，作名词guarantee的同位语。

[4]过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰名词authors。

[5]Although引导让步状语从句。

The American author, Ernest Hemingway, born in 1899, was from early boyhood⑧ single­minded⑨ in his ambition⑩ to write.On leaving high school [6], he joined a local Kansas newspaper as a trainee⑪ reporter.He went on to become foreign correspondent⑫ for the Toronto Star and used his extraordinary experiences in Europe and later Cuba to inform his writing.In his words, “I decided that I would write one story about each thing that I knew about.” Having set himself this goal, he wrote novels and short stories based on his personal experiences of the First World War, the Spanish Civil War, bullfighting⑬ and deep­sea fishing[7], amongst others.His short novel The Old Man and the Sea, about the three­day epic⑭ struggle between an elderly fisherman and the biggest fish he had ever caught [8], won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction⑮ in 1953.He would later go on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

[6]On leaving high school 为on doing...句型，表示“一……就……”。

[7]Having set himself this goal为现在分词短语作状语。现在分词的完成时态表示该分词短语的动作先于谓语动词发生。based on...为过去分词短语作状语。

[8]该句为省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词fish。由于that在从句中作动词caught的宾语，可以省略。

By contrast⑯， the young Arthur Conan Doyle, born in Scotland in 1859, had originally⑰ worked as a doctor.But Doyle's main ambition was to become a writer of historical⑱ novels [9]．Although some of his historical novels were published, their success was nothing compared to the stories of his fictional detective⑲， Sherlock Holmes, which he is still best known for to this day. [10]

[9]动词不定式短语作表语。

[10]Although引导让步状语从句。compared to...为过去分词短语作状语。关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the stories。

Interestingly⑳， Doyle wrote some of his early Holmes stories while he was waiting for patients in his medical practice in London [11]．After Sherlock Holmes made him a household㉑ name, Doyle gave up medicine and devoted himself entirely to㉒ writing.He still longed㉓ to become known for his historical novels amongst other academic works.The public, however，couldn't get enough of Sherlock Holmes.In desperation㉔, Doyle killed off the famous detective in a novel published in 1893 so that he could focus on㉕ his “serious” writing. [12] However, fans of Holmes were so angry that Doyle, under immense pressure㉖, was forced to bring Holmes back from the dead. [13] Doyle's many historical novels, plays, poems and academic papers have remained largely forgotten, but Sherlock Holmes has been entertaining㉗ readers for well over a century.

[11]while引导时间状语从句。

[12]句中published in 1893为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰a novel；so that引导目的状语从句。

[13]so...that...句型，意思为“如此……以至于……” ，that从句为结果状语从句。

Though both of these men were ultimately㉘ successful, their paths to success㉙ were very different, their futures not necessarily㉚ turning out㉛ exactly as they planned.[14] So, whatever twists and turns you might encounter㉜ [15], take a leaf out of the books㉝  of these two authors and be prepared for the unexpected.As renowned tech innovator Steve Jobs once said, “You can't connect the dots㉞ looking forward；[16] you can only connect them looking backwards㉟.So you have to trust that the dots will somehow㊱ connect in your future.” [17]

[14]句中Though引导让步状语从句。as引导方式状语从句。

[15]whatever引导让步状语从句。

[16]关系代词As引导非限制性定语从句。looking forward为现在分词短语作状语。

[17]that引导宾语从句。

面向未来

对于我们中的许多人来说，这是我们已经经历过的事情。某一刻，我们舒舒服服地躺在床上，快要睡着了。接下来，我们睁开眼睛发现我们自己在想，甚至可能担心是我们生命中最重要的问题——未来。我们会进入我们所选择的学校吗？十年后我们将做什么？我们能成为我们真正想要成为的人吗？面对这样的问题，我们应该如何对待未来？我们能够采取行动来塑造它，还是应该接受我们遇到的一切？

正如我们中的许多人已经知道的那样，为未来制订适当的计划并不能保证它们会成为现实。在这一方面，有些人比其他人更幸运，这可以通过比较两位出生相差40年的著名作家的生活来说明。虽然他们都以同样的雄心壮志和充满活力的方式对待生活，但他们的事业却以截然不同的方式展开。

美国作家埃内斯特·海明威生于1899年，从少年时代起就一心一意地致力于写作。高中一毕业，他就加入了堪萨斯当地一家报社，成为了一名实习记者。他后来成为《多伦多星报》的外国记者，并利用他在欧洲和后来的古巴的非凡经历来为他的写作提供信息。用他的话说， “ 我决定把我所知道的每一件事都写一篇小说。” 在为自己设定了这个目标之后，他根据自己在第一次世界大战、西班牙内战、斗牛和深海捕鱼等方面的亲身经历创作了小说和短篇小说。他的短篇小说《老人与海》讲述了一位年迈的渔夫和他捕到的最大的一条鱼之间的三天史诗般的斗争，这部小说在1953年获得了普利策小说奖， 后来他又获得了诺贝尔文学奖。

相比之下，年轻的阿瑟·柯南·道尔于1859年出生在苏格兰，最初是一名医生。但道尔的主要抱负是成为一名历史小说作家。虽然他的一些历史小说已经出版，但它们的成功与他至今仍最出名的小说侦探夏洛克·福尔摩斯的故事相比简直是小巫见大巫。

有趣的是，道尔在伦敦行医等候病人时，就写了一些早期福尔摩斯的故事。福尔摩斯让他家喻户晓后，道尔放弃了医学，全身心地投入到写作中。除了其他学术作品，他还是渴望自己能因历史小说而出名。然而，公众却看不够夏洛克·福尔摩斯。处于绝望之中的他在1893年出版的一本小说中让这位著名的侦探死去，这样他就可以专注于他的“严肃”写作了。然而，福尔摩斯的粉丝们非常愤怒，道尔在巨大的压力下，被迫让福尔摩斯起死回生。道尔的许多历史小说、戏剧、诗歌和学术论文在很大程度上被遗忘了，但福尔摩斯娱乐读者已经超过一个世纪了。

虽然这两个人最终都成功了，但他们的成功之路却大不相同，他们的未来未必是完全如他们计划的那样。所以，无论你遇到什么挫折，像书中的这些作家学习，对意想不到的事情做好准备。正如著名的科技革新者史蒂夫·乔布斯曾经说过的那样，“你不可能在展望未来的时候把点点滴滴串联起来；你只能在回顾的时候把它们联系起来。所以，你必须相信，这些点点滴滴会在你的未来以某种方式串联起来。”
