享受世间苦乐悲喜
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be - your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
有时,一些人一闯入你的生活你便知道他们本就想这么做,其中有着一定的目的——或给你一个教训,或帮助你明白你是谁或你要成为谁。你永远也不知道这些人会是谁,是你的舍友、邻居、教授、久违的朋友、爱人,甚或是一个完全的陌生人。当你与他们四目相对,你便知道他们会以某种深远的方式影响你的生活。
And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity - all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
有时,一些事情发生了,它们看上去是那么可怕、痛苦和不公;但细想一下你就会明白,如果没有去努力克服这些难题,你将永远也不会知道自己的潜能、力量、意志力和内心。任何事情的发生都是有原因的,没有一件事是偶然发生的或是因了某种好运或厄运发生的。疾病、伤害、爱、真正的伟大的消逝和完全的愚蠢――所有这一切的发生都是对你的精神极限的考验。不管这考验是一些事件、疾病或是某种关系,没有了它们,生活都将只剩下阳光大道,安稳、舒适,但却单调、没有意义,不会通往任何地方。
The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience - they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.
你遇到的那些影响你的生活的人和你所经历的成功或失败,都会让你看清自己。即使是不好的经历,也能让你从中得到教训。这些教训是最严酷的,但也可能是最重要的。
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
如果有人伤害了你、背叛了你、或让你心碎,原谅他们吧,因为他们帮助你懂得了什么是信任,也让你明白了对那些你敞开心扉交往的人保持谨慎的重要性。如果有人爱你,那么也无条件地爱他们吧,不光因为他们爱你,也因为他们教会了你如何去爱,如何打开心扉、张开眼睛去感受那些没有他们你便不能看到或感受到的世间的种种。
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
让每一天都过得有意义吧。享受生命中的每一刻,尽你所能从中汲取,因为以后你可能没有机会再有同样经历。
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
与那些你从没打过招呼的人互相交谈聆听吧,让自己沐浴爱河吧,自由地冲破藩篱,让你的眼界更加高远吧。抬起你的头,因为你有权利这样做。相信自己,告诉自己你很了不起,因为如果连你自己都不相信自己,别人又怎能相信你?你能够按自己的意愿生活。去创造出自己的生活,然后走出来享受生活吧。
"People are like tea bags - you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are."
人就像茶叶袋,只有放到热水中,你才能知道他们有多强大。
妈妈的双手
俗语云:“子不嫌母丑”,你小时候有没有过这样的经历,假如是妈妈对你说你哪一点做得不好,你可能会记仇很长很长时间,甚至都不会忘记,而你嫌弃的说自己母亲的缺点后,母亲却很快的就忘记了,因为假如你对母亲的爱是从地球到月亮那么多,母亲的爱却是从地球到月亮再从月亮回到地球还要多,她会原谅你的一切。
Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood her longstanding custom, she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.
夜复一夜,她总是来帮我来盖被子,即使我早已长大。这是妈妈的长期习惯,她总是弯下身来,拨开我的长发,在我的额上一吻。
I don't remember when it first started annoying me —— her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I lashed out at her:"Don't do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything in never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her awake long afterward, my words haunted pride stifled my conscience, and I didn't tell her I was sorry.
我不记得从何时起,她拨开我的头发令我非常不耐烦。但的确,我讨厌她长期操劳、粗糙的手摩擦我细嫩的皮肤。最后,一天晚上,我冲她叫: “别再这样了——你的手太粗糙了!”她什么也没说。但妈妈再也没有象这样对我表达她的爱。直到很久以后,我还是常想起我的那些话。但自尊占了上风,我没有告诉她我很后悔。
Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that then I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my the incident seemed very close, sometimes far always it lurked, hauntingly, in the back of my mind.
时光流逝,我又想到那个晚上。那时我想念我妈妈的手,想念她晚上在我额上的一吻。有时这幕情景似乎很近,有时又似乎很遥远。但它总是潜伏着,时常浮现,出现在我意识中。
Well, the years have passed, and I'm not a little girl is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my 's been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girl's stomach or soothe a boy's scraped knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world…… gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could……and still insists on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night.
一年年过去,我也不再是一个小女孩,妈妈也有70多岁了。那双我认为很粗糙的手依然为我和我家庭做着事。她是我家的医生,为我女儿在药橱里找胃药或在我儿子擦伤的膝盖上敷药。她能烧出世界上最美味的鸡…… 将牛仔裤弄干净而我却永远不能……而且可以在任何时候盛出冰激凌。
Through the years, my mother's hands have put in countless hours of toil, and most of hers were before automatic washers!
这么多年来,妈妈的手做了多少家务!而且在自动洗衣机出现以前她已经操劳了绝大多数时间。
Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was that late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I drifted into sleep in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly stole across my face to brush the hair from my a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.
现在,我的孩子都已经长大,离开了家。爸爸去世了,有些时候,我睡在妈妈的隔壁房间。一次感恩节前夕的深夜,我睡在年轻时的卧室里,一只熟悉的手有些犹豫地、悄悄地略过我的脸,从我额头上拨开头发,然后一个吻,轻轻地印在我的眉毛上。
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my surly young voice complained:"Don't do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" Catching Mom's hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that thought she'd remember, as I Mom didn't know what I was talking had forgotten —— and forgiven —— long ago.
在我的记忆中,无数次,想起那晚我粗暴、年青的声音:“别再这样了——你的手太粗糙了!”抓住妈妈的手,我冲口而出因为那晚,我是多么后悔。我以为她想起来了,象我一样。但妈妈不知道我在说些什么。她已经在很久以前就忘了这事,并早就原谅了我。
That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
那晚,我带着对温柔母亲和体贴双手的感激入睡。这许多年来我的负罪感已经消失无踪。
人生贵在糊涂
人一生,短短数载,不够时间计较,不够时间事事明细,不必在思前想后中耗磨时间,懂得享乐,人生贵在糊涂。
We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.
我们每个人,在不同时期,都曾经像一个摇滚歌星那样,伴着我们最爱的那首歌又唱又跳.很多人在小时候,甚至是已长大成人,都曾在我们自己房间和家里这样的隐秘空间里这样做过。我呢?我喜欢在开车的时候这样!打开收音机,找一首会唱的歌,很快我就会张开双臂,随着节奏起舞。大部分时候,我在上班的路上这么做。
Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!
是的,那是真的。我会穿上我漂亮的工作服,在堵车和遇到交通灯时,有人就会用奇怪的眼神看着我,或者笑我。对我个人而言,我喜欢沉浸在一首歌的节奏中,由此我愿和你们分享:为人糊涂贵在何处。
The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!
糊涂一词在字典中的定义是:愚蠢的,傻,荒谬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他们在生活中始终一脸严肃,而这在本质上才是真正的愚笨。
No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don't care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on… No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?
人无完人,我重申一次:没有人是完美的。我不在乎一个人学识多深,身材多好,外表多美,思想多浅薄,生活多俭朴,多富有,等等……人无完人!那么,为什么要伪装成我们实际上本不是的呢?
Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:
人生何其短暂……你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束,那么,为什么要浪费一分一秒,让自己变得棱角分明?这里引用索萨的话,我觉得她一语中的,是人生的一大秘方。
“Dance as though no one is watching you,
Love as though you have never been hurt before,
Sing as though no one can hear you,
Live as though heaven is on earth.“
跳舞吧,就像没有人欣赏一样,
去爱吧,就像没有受到伤害一样,
唱歌吧,就像没有人倾听一样,
生活吧,就像今天是最后一天一样。
When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.
当我们还是孩子,我们天不怕,地不怕,无忧无虑,所以我们可以不在乎自己再别人眼中的形象去做事情。然而,当我们长大,我们失去了那种天真烂漫。
So don't lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn't want to feel good?
所以,不要丢失你心中那个小孩。下次你感到沮丧时,去打开你最爱的那首歌吧,随之歌唱起舞,就像没有明天一样。或者看点能让你笑的东西。笑声是除去任何烦恼良方,没有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我,你会好受很多,谁又不想让自己好受呢?

Getty Images It’s shortly after 10 ., and The Body—all 237 pounds of him—is in his cubicle, sifting through e-mails. I’m wedged next to his liver, sifting through the metabolic remains of his morning drink: Vitaminwater. It calls itself a “nutrient enhanced” beverage, a nutritious cocktail. Ha! It’s mostly sugar in a bottle, and I love it. It sneaks past the digestive system and lands in the liver, which converts it to fat and sends it straight to me. What a bonanza!It’s a great time for me and my brethren fat cells. After millennia of toeing the line and giving up our stores whenever the muscles and nerves called on us, we’re now taking over. You don’t have to take my word for it. You can see it on the streets every day. More than 35 percent of adult Americans are obese. Not just overweight—obese. Cardiovascular disease? Type 2 diabetes? Cancer? Not my problem. I’m livin’ 11 Body’s starving. That muffin he had for breakfast provided plenty of calories, but they don’t satisfy him the way they used to. See, it’s my job to send a hormone signal—called leptin—to the brain so it makes The Body feel full. It used to work like a charm. But these days, I pump leptin like it’s a Middle Eastern oil well, and it just floats around in the bloodstream, aimless. With all that excess insulin swirling around to help The Body sop up his extra sugar intake, the brain doesn’t receive my usual leptin signal and issue the “you’re stuffed, stop eating” message. So he’s more apt to feel hungry soon after he finishes is sweet—saccharine, really. But it wasn’t always. I remember 40 years ago (The Body was barely a teenager) when I was born along with many of my fatty friends (puberty, the school nurse called it, which is when most adult fat cells should finish forming). I’d wait all day for some spare fatty acids I could store. Back then, most of the nutrition got used up. We fat cells would swell slightly, then shrink again. Those were lean I’m not going anywhere. I mean that literally. Fat cells never disappear. We’re virtually indestructible. The Body can deprive me of the greasy good stuff, and I’ll wither—but when he hits the drive-through again, I’ll rebound faster than he can say “Supersize me!” In a normal body, fat cells are mostly done forming after puberty. But if you’re obese, your fat cells plump up so much that new ones can be created. And lately, my neighborhood’s been getting a little crowded. Every time a fellow fat cell fills up and hits its maximum storage capacity, a new fat cell pops up next door. I’ve heard that a normal body has around 40 billion fat cells, but The Body rolls deep—in here, there are 80 billion just like me!I’m pretty lucky. Back when The Body went off to college, he developed a soda habit. At almost every lunch, he’d knock one back. It was a special treat, and I’d snag a few fat droplets from the liver each time and store them up. He liked the caffeine, too, the pep it gave him in the afternoon. Soon enough, after The Body graduated and found a job, he needed another can of soda just to push through the midafternoon slump. That was the start of my glory via Wikimedia Commons Hear that? The Body’s opening a can of soda as he digs in to his low-fat microwave lasagna. He’s trying to cut back, shed a few pounds—and hey, if you’re trying to lose weight, it makes sense to eat less fat. But have you ever tried lasagna without butter or oil? Tastes like cardboard. So there’s extra salt and sugar to compensate, and it’s still easy for me to convert some of that sugar to fat and squirrel it away. He has no idea!The poor sap. Back in college, when The Body skied or cycled almost every weekend, his weight was under control. His diet had a lot less sugar, and his brain listened to my leptin warnings, quashing his hunger whenever I managed to plump up. I’d get a little ahead after a big weekend of beer and wings, inflate a tad. Then the next day he’d eat a bagel and apple for breakfast and jump on his bike. His muscles burned up all the handy glucose, and I’d be forced to break down some of my precious self into fatty acids and glycerol. I’d give glycerol to the liver, which would convert it into glucose to burn, and the fatty acids would go straight to the muscles for energy. I’d deflate and hunker down, waiting for his next he polishes off the lasagna tray in six bites and swivels back to his computer, clicking and clacking through the afternoon. When he heaves himself from his chair to head home at 5 ., it’s the hardest his heart has had to work all day. I’m not worried, though—there’s plenty of fuel in his muscles to provide energy, so I never have to offer up any of myself to help. I’m lying low, laughing, confident I’ll never be called on to liquidate my get to relax during the hour-long commute home. What will I have for dinner tonight? Fried chicken? Burgers? But when The Body sags into his chair at the dinner table, he sees grilled chicken and salad. Lettuce, tomatoes, peppers… and what the heck is that, toasted pine nuts?! Oil-and-vinegar dressing, not even creamy ranch. Unfortunately, the salad’s fiber slows his digestion of the sugary dinner roll he snags from the basket. What gives? he asks. We’re eating healthy, says his wife. No more junk for could be bad for me, but I know The Body, and true to form, he cracks a beer. Sweet relief! I can score fat out of a beer as well as a can of soda. The ethanol it contains is a derivative of sugar, so some of the boozy goodness goes through the liver and converts to fat. After dinner, he takes the dog out for a walk. Thankfully, a casual stroll won’t exert enough energy to dip into my storage. Even better, when he gets home, he plops down to watch the game. Conditioned to snack at night, he grabs a Rice Krispies square, a tiny sugar boost for me. He slides into bed around midnight, hoping for his usual six hours of sleep. While The Body snoozes, I get to relax too. He doesn’t rely on my stores during the middle of the night, so I’m waiting for morning and already pulsating. I know his lack of sleep will make him stressed, hungry, and more likely to crave sugary, high-carb foods. Mmm, maybe doughnuts for breakfast?

. "ha!ha!lookatthelazyoldbull!"onoftheboyshouted."Doesn'thelookstupid?". . totheirburprise,. 下面翻译: 一个晴朗、炎热的下午,三个男孩正朝河边走去。他们要去那里钓鱼、游泳。路上,他们经过一片绿色的农田。农田的四周装有破旧的木栅栏。一头公牛正在田里安静的吃草。 “哈哈!看那只又老有懒的公牛!"一个男孩教导。“难道他看上去不够愚蠢吗?”另一个男孩笑到。他们拣起石头朝公牛扔了过去。公牛看看男孩,继续吃草。男孩们哄笑着走了。 很快,男孩们到了河边。他们脱掉衣服,跳进水里。他们在水里嬉戏了大约一小时。然后在太阳底下晒干身子,接着,他们又爬上了一棵大叔。树上有许多好吃的苹果。他们大吃一惊,还把口袋也装满。然后他们开始往下爬。 然而,他们惊奇地看到,树的附近站着一头公牛。公牛非常愤怒,它就是他们来河边的路上看到的那头公牛。男孩们不敢下来。这回轮到他们看上去很傻了. 完工~ 感觉里面有寓意吧,可是不知道寓意是什么 inclass,,"Whowantstogotothehell?","putyourhandsup,"whydon'tyouwanttogototheheaven?" thatgirlanswers,"ican'tgotoanyplaceifidon'tdogotoanyplaceifidon'." 然后翻译可能不咋准,我用翻译软件的啊~ 在课堂上,老师花半个小时跟学生们如何可怕的地狱,他问他的学生,各国“谁想去地狱呢?没有人把他或她的手搓老师是很开心的老师就另半个小时跟学生们如何在天上是很好的学生,“他的askshis请举手,“为什么你不愿意去天堂么?” 那女孩回答道,“我不能去任何地方,如果我不去任何地方,如果我不做家庭作业母亲告诉我,我必须做的事情办好,然后我能享受自己的生活之后。” 感觉有点别扭...题目的是:眼前的时光(timeatthemoment)

English story:God's wifeNew York city,It's a cold day in December. A little boy about 10-year-old was standing in front of a shoe store on Broadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said:"My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?" "I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes." The boy replied. The lady took him by the hand and went into the store, and asked the clerk to get a half dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. The clerk quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel. By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she then purchased him a pair of shoes, and tying up the remaining pairs of socks, gave them to the boy. She patted him on the head and said:"No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?" As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words:"Are you God's wife?" 纽约市,12月寒冷的一天。一个10岁的小男孩站在白老汇一家鞋店的橱窗前,赤裸着脚丫,在寒冷中颤抖着并注视着橱窗。一个女士走到小男孩跟前问到:“小家伙,你为什么这么专注的看橱窗呢?” “我在请求上帝给我一双鞋。”小孩子回答到。 女士牵着小男子的手走进了商店,她让店员取来半打棉袜给小男孩。然后她问是否能给她拿一盆水和一条毛巾。店员很快就拿过来了。女士带着小家伙走到商店后面,拿下手套,蹲下来给他洗脚,然后用毛巾擦干。这时店员拿来一双袜子。女士给小家伙穿上,并为他买了一双鞋穿上,并把剩余的袜子打包起来给小男孩,女士拍着小男孩的头说到:“小家伙,现在感觉舒服多了,不是吗?” 当女士转身要走时,小男孩拉住女士的手,抬起头看着她的脸,眼睛中充满了泪水,答到:"请问你是上帝的妻子吗?"
