在爱情的道路里,首先要学会信任,其次要学会自信,就像小时候我们无数次的跌倒,却无数次的爬起来一样。去爱吧,就像没有受过伤一样,相信你的幸福是上天应该 给的,因为你很珍惜它。
原文作者是一位名字叫做 Alfred D’Souza 的神父,原文的主旨是在告诉人们要更加珍惜那些可以与别人共度过的时光,不要等待,没有通往快乐的道路,因为快乐本身就是道路,是一段旅程,而不是终点。
We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, thenanother. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren‘t old enough and we‘ll be more content whenthey are. After that we‘ re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly behappy when they are out of that stage.
我们总是相信,等我们结了婚,生了孩子生活会更美好。等有了孩子,我们又因为他们不够大而烦恼,想等他们大些时,我们就会开心了。可等他们进人青少年时期,我们还是同样地苦恼,于是又相信等他们过了这一阶段,幸福就会到来。
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her acttogether, when we get a nicer car, and are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire. Thetruth is, there‘s no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filledwith challenges. It‘s best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
我们总是告诉自己,等夫妻间任一方肯于合作,等我们拥有更好的车,等我们能去度一次美妙的假期,等我们退休后,我们的生活一定会完美的。而事实的真相是,没有任何时刻比现在更宝贵。倘若不是现在,又会是何时?我们的生活每时每刻都会有挑战。最好是让自己接受这一事实,无论如何使自己保持快乐的心境。
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed tome that life was about to begin-real life.But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, someunfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last itdawned onto me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see thatthere is no way to happiness.
我很欣赏艾尔弗雷德•苏泽的一段名言。他说:"长期以来,我都觉得生活--真正的生活似乎即将开始。可是总会遇到某种障碍,如得先完成一些事情。没做完的工作,要奉献的时间,该付的债,等等。之后生活才会开始。最后我醒悟过来了,这些障碍本身就是我的生活。"这一观点让我意识到没有什么通往幸福的道路。
Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that you have.And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you goback to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids, until your kidsleave home; until you start work, until you retire; until you get a new car or home; untilspring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to behappy....
幸福本身就是路,所以,珍惜你拥有的每一刻,且记住时不我待,不要再作所谓的等待;你上完学,等你再回到学校;等你结婚或离婚;等你有了孩子或孩子长大离开家;等你开始工作或等你退休;等你有了新车或新房;等春天来临;等你有幸再来世上走一遭才明白此时此刻最应快乐……
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So,Work like you don‘t need money,
幸福是一个旅程,不是终点站;所以工作吧,如同不需要金钱一样;
Love like you‘ve never been hurt,And dance like no one‘s watching.
去爱吧,如同从未受过伤害一样;跳舞吧,如同没有人注视一样。
to love, like never been hurt,to dance,like no one appreciate;
去爱吧,就像不曾受过伤一样;跳舞吧,像没有人会欣赏一样。
to sing, like no one listen to,to work, like no need of money;
唱歌吧,像没有人会聆听一样。干活吧,像是不需要金钱一样。
to life, like today is the end.
生活吧,就像今天是末日一样。
