《重返英语世界》

    今天发现了一个不错的英文博客：zenhabits 。

    作者只是一个普通的人，但是从2005年的12月他开始让自己的生活变得不同。

Many of my new readers (welcome new readers!) have been wondering, after reading some of my posts on how to achieve your goals, and how to save money or exercise or wake up early … what exactly are my qualifications?

    我的许多新读者（欢迎新读者！）都很惊讶，当他们读我的帖子的时候，我的帖子涉及到怎样完成目标的，怎样存钱的，怎样锻炼，还有如何早起的……那我的真正的资格在哪里呢？

My answer is that I have no formal qualifications. I am not an expert, or a doctor, or a coach, or a consultant. I don’t give seminars and I haven’t published a book. I haven’t made a million dollars and I’m not the world’s greatest athlete.

    答案是我没有什么正式的资格，我不是什么专家，医生，教练或者顾问。我没进什么学院，没出过书。我没有挣大钱，并且我也不是什么世界上伟大的运动员。

All I am is a regular guy, a father of six kids, a husband, a worker, and a free-lance writer. But I have accomplished a lot over the last year and change (and failed a lot) and along the way, I have learned a lot.
    我只是一个有规律的人，一个六个孩子的父亲，一个丈夫，一个工人，一个自由作家。但是在过去的年月里我做到了很多（上述的）并且改变（也失败了很多），而且将还会走下去，我学到了很多。

    学英语这么多年，也算积累了一些能力，现在工作了与英语的接触明显少了很多，但是作为一项技能不用则退，所以决定从今天开始操练起来，重拾英语，保持这优 势，用英语去了解世界，改变自己。以后会经常关注这个博客，把阅读的文章链接给出来，把忘记的单词写出来，作为一种学习笔记吧，与想学英语的人共享！
