Be grateful to life 感恩生活
Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much.巴士英語(yǔ)www.xiao84.com
美國(guó)總統(tǒng)羅斯福的家曾經(jīng)失竊，財(cái)物損失嚴(yán)重。朋友聞此消息，就寫信來(lái)安慰他，勸他不必把這件事放在心上。
President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,”Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief…”
羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)很快回信說(shuō)：“親愛(ài)的朋友，謝謝你來(lái)信安慰我，我一切都很好。我想我應(yīng)該感謝上帝，因?yàn)椋旱谝?，我損失的只是財(cái)物，而人卻毫發(fā)未損;第二，我只損失了部分財(cái)物，而非所有財(cái)產(chǎn);第三，最幸運(yùn)的是，做小偷的是那個(gè)人，而不是我……”
It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from.. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.
對(duì)任何人來(lái)說(shuō)，家中失竊絕非幸事。但是，羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)卻能找到三個(gè)感恩的理由。這個(gè)故事告訴我們，生活中，我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)感恩。
Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a GREat wisdom. . It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. smile and so will it when you cry to it. ” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight.
感恩是一項(xiàng)重要的處世哲學(xué)，是生活的大智慧。人生在世，不可能事事順通。對(duì)于各種失敗和不幸，我們要豁達(dá)大度，勇敢地面對(duì)，并想辦法解決。
We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, rise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it , it will also
面對(duì)困難，我們是懊惱抱怨、沮喪氣餒，陷入絕望，還是對(duì)生活滿懷感恩之心，跌倒后再爬起來(lái)呢?英國(guó)著名作家威廉·薩克雷說(shuō)過(guò)，“生活是一面鏡子，你對(duì)它笑，它也會(huì)對(duì)你笑;你對(duì)他哭，它也會(huì)對(duì)你哭。”
If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful, we can surely have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.
如果對(duì)生活感恩，你的生命將充滿燦爛的陽(yáng)光;如果一味怨恨，終將一無(wú)所獲。我們成功時(shí)，有千萬(wàn)個(gè)理由感恩生活，而失敗時(shí)，只要一個(gè)借口就會(huì)表現(xiàn)出忘恩負(fù)義。
I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.
我想，不論是遭遇失敗還是不幸，我們都應(yīng)該感謝生活。只有這樣，失敗后，我們才能發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的缺點(diǎn)和不足，不幸時(shí)，我們還能感受到安慰和溫暖。這些就能幫我們找回勇氣，戰(zhàn)勝困難，并獲取前進(jìn)的強(qiáng)大推動(dòng)力。我們應(yīng)像羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)那樣，換一個(gè)角度去看待生活中的失敗和挫折，永遠(yuǎn)對(duì)生活充滿感恩，才能時(shí)刻保持健康的心態(tài)，積極地生活，并能保持完美的人格和不斷進(jìn)取的精神。感恩不僅僅是一種精神慰藉，也不是對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的規(guī)避，更不是阿Q的精神勝利法。感恩源于我們對(duì)生活的熱愛(ài)和希望，它是我們歌頌生活的一種方式。
When we put a small piece of alum into muddy water, we can see the alum can soon make the water clear. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll be able to get rid of impulse, upset, dissatisfaction and misfortune. Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.
把一小塊明礬放入混沌的水中，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，水很快就澄清了。如果人人都有一顆感恩的心，就能沉淀許多的浮躁和不安，消融許多的不滿和不幸。感恩能讓我們的生活變得更加美好。

People in your life 你生活中的人們
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.www.xiao84.com
人們走進(jìn)你的生活，或者是為了一個(gè)原因，或者他們只停留一段時(shí)期，或者他們永遠(yuǎn)與你相隨。一旦明曉其中究竟，你就知道該如何面對(duì)他們了。
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
有的人出現(xiàn)在你的生活中是有原因的，通常他們填補(bǔ)了你流露出來(lái)的需要：幫你渡過(guò)難關(guān)，指點(diǎn)和支持你，切實(shí)地在情感上、精神上幫助你。
They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. Sometimes they die.
他們出現(xiàn)是因?yàn)槟阈枰麄?。然后在一個(gè)你無(wú)可引咎而又不便的時(shí)候，這人說(shuō)了什么或者做了什么令你們終止了這段關(guān)系。有時(shí)候他們離你而去，有時(shí)候他們冒出歪理而逼得你要奮起反抗，有時(shí)候是因?yàn)樗麄兪攀馈?/p>
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. Your need has been answered, and now it is time to move on.
我們必需認(rèn)識(shí)到，自己的需要已經(jīng)滿足了，愿望已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)了，他們的工作也就完成了。你的需要得到了回應(yīng)，接著的是要繼續(xù)前行。
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
有的人在你的生活中只會(huì)停留一段時(shí)期，那是因?yàn)槟愕搅诉@樣的一個(gè)時(shí)候：成長(zhǎng)、學(xué)習(xí)，并和別人一起分享你的世界。他們讓你體會(huì)平和，也讓你歡笑。他們可能也教會(huì)你做一些從沒(méi)做過(guò)的事情。他們常能給你帶來(lái)無(wú)數(shù)歡樂(lè)。相信這一點(diǎn)!這是真的!可這，只能維持一段時(shí)間。
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
持續(xù)一生的情誼將令你終生受益;一點(diǎn)一滴地努力吧，建造一個(gè)堅(jiān)不可摧的感情基礎(chǔ)。你要做的只是去接受經(jīng)驗(yàn)，對(duì)一生相隨的人付出關(guān)愛(ài)，并將你所學(xué)到應(yīng)用到生命中的其他關(guān)系和方方面面中。愛(ài)情令人盲目，而友誼能醍醐灌頂，據(jù)說(shuō)如此。

Live in the present moment 生活在此時(shí)此刻
To a large degree，the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment.Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year，and what may or may not happen tomorrow，the present moment is where you are --always.xiao84.com
我們內(nèi)心是否平和在很大程度上是由我們是否能生活在現(xiàn)實(shí)之中所決定的。不管昨天或去年發(fā)生了什么，不管明天可能發(fā)生或不發(fā)生什么，現(xiàn)實(shí)才是你時(shí)時(shí)刻刻所在之處。
Without question，many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things --all at once.We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments，so much so that we end up anxious，frustrated，depressed，and hopeless.
毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，我們很多人掌握了一種神經(jīng)兮兮的藝術(shù)，即把生活中的大部分時(shí)間花在為種種事情擔(dān)心憂慮上---而且常常是同時(shí)憂慮許多事情。我們聽(tīng)?wèi){過(guò)去的麻煩和未來(lái)的擔(dān)心控制我們此時(shí)此刻的生活，以致我們整日焦慮不安，萎靡不振，甚至沮喪絕望。
On the flip side，we also postpone our gratification，our stated priorities，and our happiness，often convincing ourselves that ‘someday’ will be better than today.Unfortunately，the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that "someday " never actually arrives.
而另一方面我們又推遲我們的滿足感，推遲我們應(yīng)優(yōu)先考慮的事情，推遲我們的幸福感，常常說(shuō)服自己“有朝一日”會(huì)比今天更好。不幸的是，如此告誡我們朝前看的大腦動(dòng)力只能重復(fù)來(lái)重復(fù)去，以致“有朝一日”永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)真正來(lái)臨。
John Lennon once said，‘Life is what’s happening while we’re busy making other plans.’When we’re busy making ‘other plans’，our children are busy growing up，the people we love are moving away and dying，our bodies are getting out of shape，and our dreams are slipping away.In short，we miss out on life.
約翰·列農(nóng)曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)：“生活就是當(dāng)我們忙于制定別的計(jì)劃時(shí)發(fā)生的事。”當(dāng)我們忙于制定種種“別的計(jì)劃”時(shí)，我們的孩子在忙于長(zhǎng)大，我們摯愛(ài)的人離去了甚至快去世了，我們的體型變樣了，而我們的夢(mèng)想也在悄然溜走了。一句話，我們錯(cuò)過(guò)了生活。
Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date.It isn’t.In fact，no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow.Now is the only time we have，and the only time that we have any control over.When our attention is in the present moment，we push fear from our minds.Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future--we won’ t have enough money，our children will get into trouble，we will get old and die，whatever.
許多人的生活好像是某個(gè)未來(lái)日子的彩排。并非如此。事實(shí)上，沒(méi)人能保證他或她明天肯定還活著。現(xiàn)在是我們所擁有的惟一時(shí)間，現(xiàn)在也是我們能控制的惟一時(shí)間。當(dāng)我們將注意力放在此時(shí)此刻時(shí)，我們就將恐懼置于腦后?？謶志褪俏覀儞?dān)憂某些事情會(huì)在未來(lái)發(fā)生---我們不會(huì)有足夠的錢，我們的孩子會(huì)惹上麻煩，我們會(huì)變老，會(huì)死去，諸如此類。
To combat fear，the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present.Mark Twain said，‘I have been through some terrible things in my life，some of which actually happened.I don’t think I can say it any better.Practice keeping your attention on the here and now.Your efforts will pay great dividends7).
若要克服恐懼心理，最佳策略便是學(xué)會(huì)將你的注意力拉回此時(shí)此刻。馬克·吐溫說(shuō)過(guò)：“我經(jīng)歷過(guò)生活中一些可怕的事情，有些的確發(fā)生過(guò)。”我想我說(shuō)不出比這更具內(nèi)涵的話。經(jīng)常將注意力集中于此情此景、此時(shí)此刻，你的努力終會(huì)有豐厚的報(bào)償。
