　　Words of Wisdom for the Modern Age

　　IN This ARTICLE: Wisdom today meanssomething different for the young, modem Westerngeneration.

　　Wisdom of the ancients always served civilisationwell. In the age of the TV sitcom , witty New Yorkrepartee and the instant one-liner, Western wisdomin the modern sense can mean something more likethe dialogue from an American sitcom. Here’ssampling of the some of the wittier one-linescirculating through Western society circles these days:

　　I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking goodeither.

　　I love deadlines. I especially like the wooshing sound they make as they go flying by.

　　Tell me what you need, and I’ll tell you how to get along without it.

　　On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.

　　You are slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter.

　　Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good withketchup.

　　Everybody is somebody else’s weirdo.

　　Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

　　Everything can be filed under miscellaneous.

　　You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.

　　本文簡(jiǎn)介：對(duì)今天西方的年輕一代來說，智慧別有一番含義。

　　古人的智慧對(duì)文明總是大有裨益。在電視情景喜劇、紐約式的機(jī)智問答和即興的單句俏皮話大行其道的時(shí)代，現(xiàn)代意義上的西方智慧更像是一出美國(guó)情景喜劇里對(duì)白之類的東西。以下是近來在西方社會(huì)流傳的一些具有代表性的單句睿語(yǔ)：

　　我每天只能取悅一個(gè)人。今天輪不到你。明天看上去也不太妙。

　　我喜歡最后期限。我尤其喜歡它們飛馳而過時(shí)發(fā)出的嗖嗖聲。

　　告訴我你需要什么，然后我會(huì)告訴你沒有它怎么過。

　　接受這一事實(shí)--有時(shí)你是在雕像上隨意排泄的鴿子，有時(shí)你是那倒霉的雕像。

　　需要某個(gè)人就像需要一頂降落傘。如果他們第一時(shí)間不在場(chǎng)，你就可能再也沒有需要他們的機(jī)會(huì)了。

　　在生活的鍵盤上，始終要把一個(gè)手指按在“退出”鍵上。

　　你比一群在花生醬中亂竄的海龜還要慢。

　　不要插手兇龍惡獸的事，因?yàn)槟闶撬纱嗟模煌可戏厌u后味道好極了。

　　每個(gè)人在別人眼中都是怪物。

　　千萬(wàn)別和白癡爭(zhēng)論。他們會(huì)把你拉低到和他們同等的水平，再用經(jīng)驗(yàn)擊敗你。

　　切勿成為不可替代的人--如果沒人能取代你，你便無法得到提升。

　　如果早晨第一件事就是吃一只活青蛙，那么余下的一天便不會(huì)有更糟的事發(fā)生了。

　　每件東西都可歸入雜項(xiàng)。

　　老板偶然來到你的辦公桌時(shí)，你總是在做一些無關(guān)緊要的事。

　　碰到難題時(shí)，把它簡(jiǎn)化成這樣一個(gè)問題——“驚險(xiǎn)片明星印第安那·瓊斯會(huì)怎樣處理?”--你就能比較容易地解決它了。

　　不是我的態(tài)度有問題，而是你的感覺有問題。
