昨日是个普通的日子,昨日亦是个不平常的日子,四处都飘着“520我爱你”的标语,以其谐音冠以其“爱”的名义。
在这样一个日子里,我私自赠给了自己一个礼物——慵懒的度过了一天:买菜、做饭、洗衣,收拾房间,读了几篇小文、发了几次小呆,看了一部无厘头的电影、偷吃了一些非健康的食物……
亦是在这样一个日子里,我收获了一份礼物,一篇饶有韵味的文章,忍不住循环播放了好几遍!
现在,将这篇文章分享出来,希望它也能成为你们的“礼物”!
Life is a Game 生活是一场游戏
Image life as a game in which you are playing come five balls in the air.You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit, and you`re keeping all these balls in the air.
想象生活就是一场游戏,一场你向空中抛出五个球的游戏。它们名字分别为:工作,家庭,健康,朋友和心境,而你正在让这些球保持在空中。
You understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it ,it will bounce back. But the other four balls are made of glass.If you drop one of these,it will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, damaged or even broken into pieces. They will never be the same.You must learn to strive for balance in your life. How?
你明白工作是一个橡皮球,即使你没有接住它,它也会反弹回来。但是其他四个球都是玻璃制造的。如果你掉落其中一个,它将会无法挽回的留下划痕和缺口,甚至是摔得粉碎。它们永远都不会恢复到原来的样子。你必须努力学会权衡生活,怎么去做呢?
Don`t set your goals by what other people consider important.Only you know what is best for you.
不要把目标定在别人所认为重要的事情上,因为只有你才知道什么最适合自己。
Don`t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Hold on to them as you would to life, for without them, it`s meaningless.
不要把什么事情都看作心中最紧要的,并依靠他们去活命,因为他们有时候毫无意义。
Don`t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
不要在你尚可付出的时候放弃,因为没有任何事情会在你尝试之前失败。
Don`t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
不要担心承认你不够完美,因为正是这根脆弱的细线将我们联结在一起。
Don`t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
不要畏惧遭遇冒险,因为这正是使我们学会勇敢的机会。
Don`t shut love out of your life by saying it`s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
不要说不可能找到真爱就将爱关在生活的门外,因为最快得到爱的方式就是付出爱,最快失去爱的方式就是把爱抓的太紧,而保持爱的最好方式是让它插上翅膀。
Don`t forget,a person`s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
不要忘记,一个人最大的感情需求是得到欣赏(赏识)。
Don`t be afraid to learn .Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
不要害怕去学习,因为知识是没有重量,并且总是能够轻易随身携带的财富。
Don`t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
不要轻率的使用时间或者言辞,因为两者都不可能被收回。
Don`t let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or in the future. By living your life one day at a time,you live all the days of your life.
不要因为生活在过去或者生活在未来而让生命从你的指尖划过,一天接一天踏实的去生活,那你的每一天都是自己的生活。
Don`t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you`ve been ,but also where you are going.
不要过快的穿越生活而忘记了你身在何处,将向何方。
Life is not a race ,but a journey to be enjoyed slowly each step of the way. Yesterday id history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. Taht is why we call it - the present.
生活不是一场跑步比赛,而沿途每一步都值得慢慢欣赏的旅行。昨天是历史,明天还是一个迷,而今天则是一份礼物。因此我们称它为“present”。
