假如生活重頭再來Living life over
If I had my life to live over……I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life. I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day. I would never have bought anything just because it was practical，would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time. There would have been more“I love you”……more“I‘m sorry”……but mostly，given another shots at life，I would seize every minute……look at it and really see it……live it……and never give it back.
假如生活從頭再來假如我能重新生活,我會說得更少，聽得更多。我會邀請朋友來吃飯，即使地毯變臟,沙發(fā)褪色。我會花時(shí)間聽我的祖父漫談他的年輕時(shí)光。我再也不會堅(jiān)持在某個(gè)夏天的某一天車窗一定要打開，而我的頭發(fā)剛剛被噴膠并被做好。我會點(diǎn)燃雕得像朵玫瑰一樣的粉紅的蠟燭，在它被在存儲中融化之前。我會與我的孩子一起坐在草坪上，不用擔(dān)心草地上的污漬。我會在看電視時(shí)哭得更少,笑得更少，而更多的是觀察生活。當(dāng)我生病時(shí),我會上床睡覺，而不是假裝如果我不在一天,地球就會停止不動(dòng)。我再也不會購買任何據(jù)說是實(shí)用的,牢固的,保證可用一生的東西。我會說更多的“我愛你.”……更多的“對不起.”……可是，我被生活再次擊倒，我會抓住每一分鐘……看看它,實(shí)實(shí)在在地看它……好好生活……決不讓它重頭再來。

通往幸福的秘密The secrets to happiness
We all know that money can’t buy happiness … but many times we act as if we’d be happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich (when we know the rich aren’t happy either); we are trained to want the latest gadget or style that television tells us to want; we want to earn more money because then we’ll have the good life.
我們都知道金錢買不來幸福，但我們都表現(xiàn)出如果我們的錢再多點(diǎn)就會更幸福的樣子。我們習(xí)慣于想要變的更有錢(當(dāng)我們知道富人也并不快樂);在電視看到些最新的玩意兒或是最潮的風(fēng)格，我們也想要賺更多的錢因?yàn)槟菢游覀儗碛懈玫纳睢?/p>
But none of that will bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn, no matter how much we have in the bank, no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of it will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury items before we realize this.
但那些都不會帶給我們幸福。不管我們掙多少錢，不管我們在銀行擁有多少存款，不管我們的衣服汽車玩具有多好，它們都不會讓我們更快樂。令人難過的是在我們明白這一點(diǎn)之前，它會讓我們一直追求財(cái)富和奢侈品。
So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, it’s three things that don’t cost a thing. These three things have been proven by research — surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have, what their lives are like, and how happy they are.
那么，究竟什么能帶給我們幸福呢?幸運(yùn)的是，有三樣?xùn)|西，它們不需要花費(fèi)其他任何。這三樣是被研究證明的——這項(xiàng)研究調(diào)查了數(shù)以十萬的人們，包括他們擁有什么，他們的生活怎么樣以及他們有多快樂。
Here they are, the Three Secrets to Happiness:
那么，下面就是幸福的三個(gè)秘密：
1. Good relationships. We have a human need to be close, to be intimate, with other human beings. Having good, supportive friendships, a strong marriage or close and loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy. Action steps: Take time, today, to spend time with your loved ones, to tell them what they mean to you, to listen to them, and develop your relationship with them.
1、良好的關(guān)系。我們同他人的親近、親密是人類的需求。擁有良好的、支持性的友誼、牢固的婚姻或是同家庭成員緊密有愛的關(guān)系會使我們更可能快樂。動(dòng)作步驟：今天就花時(shí)間同你愛的人在一起，告訴他們他們之于你的意義，傾聽他們所說的，進(jìn)一步發(fā)展同他們的關(guān)系。
2. Positive thinking. I’m obviously a big proponent of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals, but it turns out that it can lead to happiness too. Optimism and self-esteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives. Happy people feel empowered, in control of their lives, and have a positive outlook on life. Action steps: Make positive thinking a habit. In fact, this should be one of the first habits you develop. Get into the habit of squashing all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. Instead of “I can’t” think“I can”. It may sound corny, but it has worked for me, every time.
2、積極的思考。積極思考是達(dá)成你目標(biāo)的最佳方式，我很顯然是這一想法的強(qiáng)烈支持者，但同時(shí)它也能指引你走向幸福。樂觀和自尊是快樂生活的人們的最佳寫照?？鞓返娜藗兏械匠錆M活力，能夠控制他們的生活，同時(shí)積極看待生活。動(dòng)作步驟：把積極思考培養(yǎng)成習(xí)慣。事實(shí)上，這應(yīng)該是你首先培養(yǎng)的習(xí)慣之一。養(yǎng)成粉碎你的負(fù)面想法并用積極的想法替代它們的習(xí)慣。用“我能”的想法替代“我不能”。盡管聽起來毫無新意，但對我來說每次都很奏效。
3. Flow. This is a popular concept on the Internet these days — the state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task before us. We are so immersed in our task that we lose track of time. Having work and leisure that gets you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness. People find greatest enjoyment not when they’re passively mindless, but when they’re absorbed in a mindful challenge. Action steps: Find work that you’re passionate about. Seriously — this is an extremely important step. Find hobbies that you’re passionate about. Turn off the TV — this is the opposite of flow — and get outside and do something that truly engages you.
3、流動(dòng)。這是最近網(wǎng)絡(luò)上一個(gè)流行的概念——當(dāng)我們?nèi)褙炞⒂谘矍暗墓ぷ骱腿蝿?wù)時(shí)我們進(jìn)入的狀態(tài)。我們太過沉浸于我們的任務(wù)以至于沒了時(shí)間觀念。擁有工作和休閑會讓你出于流動(dòng)的狀態(tài)，這幾乎毫無疑問會讓你幸福。當(dāng)人們被動(dòng)地沒有意識時(shí)不會找尋到巨大地愉悅感，這種感覺只有當(dāng)他們專注于挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)才能獲得。動(dòng)作步驟：找一份你熱愛地工作。這是至關(guān)重要地一步。在找一個(gè)你有興趣地愛好。關(guān)掉電視機(jī)(這是流動(dòng)的反面)，走到戶外，進(jìn)行些你能夠真正參與進(jìn)去的活動(dòng)。

沒有過不去的坎兒 There Aare no Such Setbacks That we Could not Overcome
Our tolerating ability is indeed way beyond our imagination. But not until the very critical moment will we realize our potential tolerating ability.
人的承受能力，其實(shí)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出我們的想象。但是不到關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻，我們很少能夠意識自己的潛力。
There was a woman in the countryside who got married at the age of 18 and had to escape with her two daughters and a son wherever she could at the age of 26 due to the Japanese army’s invasion. Many people in the village at that time could not bear the suffering of being a fugitive and wanted to commit suicide. After she knew about it, she would come to those people and soothed them by saying, “Don’t do that silly thing. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. The Japanese armies are bound to be foiled one day!”
有一位農(nóng)村婦女，18歲結(jié)婚，26歲時(shí)日本人侵略中國，在農(nóng)村進(jìn)行大掃蕩，她不得不經(jīng)常帶著兩個(gè)女兒一個(gè)兒子?xùn)|躲西藏。村里很多人受不了這種暗無天日的折磨，想到了自盡，她得知后就會去勸：“別這樣啊，沒有過不去的坎，日本鬼子不會總這么猖狂的。”
Finally she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out of China. Nonetheless, her son died of disease without sufficient medicine and nutrition in those days of hardships. Her husband, after knowing the death of his son, lay in bed for two days without eating and drinking anything. She teared to her husband and said, “We have a tough destiny, but however tough our lives will be, we should also persist. Though our son has passed away, we can have another. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome.”
她終于熬到了把鬼子趕出中國的那一天，可是她的兒子卻在那炮火連天的歲月里，由于缺醫(yī)少藥，又極度缺乏營養(yǎng)，因病夭折了。丈夫不吃不喝在床上躺了兩天兩夜，她流著淚對丈夫說：“咱們的命苦啊，不過再苦咱也得過啊，兒子沒了，咱再生一個(gè)，人生沒有過不去的坎。”
After giving birth to the second son, her husband died of edema, which almost blew her away. But eventually, she recovered and cuddled the three young children, saying, “My sweet hearts, don’t feel scared. You still have me, your dear mum!”
剛剛生了兒子，丈夫因患水腫病離開了人世。在這個(gè)打擊下，她很長時(shí)間都沒回過神來，但最后還是挺過來了，她把三個(gè)未成年的孩子攬到自己懷里，說：“娘還在呢，有娘在，你們就別怕。”
It took her painstaking efforts to raise her children up and the life of her family was getting better and better. Two daughters were married and so was his son finally. She said to everyone she met, “Look! What I said is absolutely right. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome! My life is so happy now!” She was aging gradually and could not do the farm work any more. So she stayed at home and did some stitching work.
她含辛茹苦地把孩子一個(gè)個(gè)拉扯大了，生活也慢慢好轉(zhuǎn)起來。兩個(gè)女兒嫁了人，兒子也結(jié)了婚。她逢人便樂呵呵地說：“我說吧，沒有過不去的坎，現(xiàn)在生活多好啊。”她年紀(jì)大了，不能下地干活，就在家納鞋底，做衣服，縫縫補(bǔ)補(bǔ)。
Nevertheless, the Heaven seemed to show no affection to her who had undergone a rough life. She got her leg broken accidentally when she was nursing her grandson. Due to her old age that posed a great risk to her operation, she did not receive operation and had to lie in bed all day long. Her children all cried heavily, while she merely said, “Why do you cry? I am still living.”
可是，上蒼似乎并不眷顧這位一生坎坷的婦女，她在照看孫子時(shí)不小心摔斷了腿，由于年紀(jì)太大做手術(shù)危險(xiǎn)，就一直沒有做手術(shù)，她每天只能躺在床上。兒女們都哭了，她卻說：“哭什么，我還活著呢。”
Even though she could not rise from bed, she did not complain about anything and anybody. Instead, she sat on the bed and did some stitching work. She had learnt scarves-weaving, broidery, crafts-making, etc. All her neighbors spoke highly of her skills and came to learn from her.
即便下不了床，她也沒有怨天尤人，而是坐在床上做針線活。她會織圍巾，會繡花，會編手工藝品，左鄰右舍的人都夸她手藝好，還來跟她學(xué)藝。
She lived until 86. Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, “You all should live to your best. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”
她活到86歲，臨終前，她對自己兒女們說：“都要好好過啊，沒有過不去的坎。”
We will only get to realize our own iron will and strong tolerating ability after getting stricken heavily. Therefore, no matter what you are suffering from now, do not merely complain about the unfairness of our destiny and maintain low-spirited all the time. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. Only those who have no confidence and courage to overcome setbacks will be defeated at last!
人總是在遭遇一次重創(chuàng)之后，才會幡然醒悟，重新認(rèn)識自己的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)和堅(jiān)忍。所以，無論你正在遭遇什么磨難，都不要一味抱怨上蒼不公平，甚至從此一蹶不振。人生沒有過不去的坎，只有過不去的人。
