参考范文

As a well-known saying goes, “Beauty of the soul is the essential beauty.” It is inner beauty that truly matters. However, a host of people are now paying less attention to it. From my perspective, beauty of the soul has always been a crucial part in our life.

There are some factors accounting for my view. In the first place, beauty of the soul is a virtue in essence, which is related to everything connected with one’s happiness and success. Individuals may achieve temporary success by means of luck or trick, but only virtue is the solid foundation of success. What’s more, we should always bear in mind that it is the beauty of the soul—the power from people’s inner world—that contributes to our progress and development. Our past experience has proven that compared with those who only care about their appearance, people who keep doing good deeds are more likely to win praise and respect from others.

From what I have discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that beauty of the soul has positive effects on our life. The more we are aware of the significance of this saying, the more benefits we will get.

参考译文

正如一句名言所说：“心灵之美是本质之美”。内在美才是真正重要的。然而，现在很多人对它的关注却越来越少。在我看来，心灵之美一直在我们的生活中发挥着至关重要的作用。

有一些因素可以解释我的观点。首先，心灵之美从本质上来讲是一种美德，它与一个人的幸福和成功息息相关。人们或许可以凭借运气或计谋获得一时的成功，但只有美德才是成功的稳固基石。更重要的是，我们要时刻牢记，正是心灵之美这种源于内心的力量才能帮助我们进步与成长。过往经历已经证明，比起那些只注重外表的人，一直做好事的人更容易赢得别人的赞扬和尊重。

综上所述，我们可以肯定地得出结论：心灵之美对我们的生活有积极影响。我们越是明白这句话的重要意义，我们获得的益处就越多。
