2、ll it. Life is itlive it.,However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thril

3、ling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house救濟(jì)院 as brightly as from the rich mans abode住所 ; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.,Love Your Life,不論你的生活如何卑賤，你要面對(duì)它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的時(shí)候，倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點(diǎn)的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點(diǎn)

4、。你要愛你的生活，盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個(gè)濟(jì)貧院里，你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時(shí)候。夕陽反射在濟(jì)貧院的窗上，像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮；在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。,Today we have bigger houses but smaller families;more conveniences, but less time.We have more degrees but less common sense;more knowledge but less judgment;We have more experts, but more problems;more medicines but l

5、ess Wellness.,Paradox of our times,We spend to recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.,We multiplied our possessions, but reduce our values; we talk too much, love too little

6、 and lie too often. Weve learned how to make a living, but not a life; Weve added years to life, not life to years. 我們不斷聚斂物質(zhì)財(cái)富，卻逐漸丟失了自我價(jià)值。我們的話語太多，真愛太少，謊言泛濫。我們掌握了謀生手段，卻不懂得生活真諦；我們讓年華付諸流水，卻不曾將生命傾注其中,Wehavetallerbuildings,butshortertempers; widerfreeways,butnarrowerviewpoints. Wespendmore,but haveless;

7、webuymore,butenjoyitless. 們的住房越來越好，脾氣卻越來越糟； 我們行駛的道路越來越寬闊，眼光卻越來越狹隘。我們付出很多，可獲得的很少； 我們購(gòu)買了很多，可從中得到的樂趣卻很少。,Wevebeenallthewaytothemoonandback,buthave troublecrossingthestreettomeetthenewneighbor. Weveconqueredouterspace,butnotinnerspace. Wevesplittheatom,butnotourprejudice; wewritemore,butlearnless; planm

8、ore,butaccomplishless. 我們能夠往返于地球與月球之間卻不樂于穿過馬路向新鄰居問好。 我們可以征服外部空間，卻懾于走進(jìn)內(nèi)心世界。我們可以擊碎原子，卻不能突破思想偏見；我們寫得很多，可學(xué)到的很少；計(jì)劃很多，可完成的很少。,Wevelearnedtorush,butnottowait; wehavehigherincomes,butlowermorals. Webuildmorecomputerstoholdmoreinformation, toproducemorecopies,buthavelesscommunication. Wearelongonquantity,but

9、shortonquality. 我們學(xué)會(huì)了追趕時(shí)間，卻沒學(xué)會(huì)耐心等待；我們擁有的財(cái)富越來越多，道德品質(zhì)卻日益淪喪。我們生產(chǎn)更多的電腦用于存儲(chǔ)更多的信息和制造更多的拷貝，而相互間的交流與溝通卻越來越少。我們擁有的是數(shù)量，缺乏的是質(zhì)量。,Thesearethetimesoffastfoodsandslowdigestion; tallmenandshortcharacter; steepprofitsandshallowrelationships.

10、divorce; fancierhouses,butbrokenhomes. 這是一個(gè)快餐食品和消化遲緩相伴的時(shí)代；一個(gè)體格高大和性格病態(tài)并存的時(shí)代；一個(gè)追名逐利和人情冷漠相生的時(shí)代。我們的閑暇多了，樂趣卻少了；食品種類多了，營(yíng)養(yǎng)卻少了；雙薪家庭增加了，離婚率也激升了；居室的裝修華麗了，家庭卻殘缺破碎了,ThatswhyIpropose,thatasoftoday,youdonotkeep anythingforaspecialoccasion,becauseeverydaythat youliveisaspecialoccasion.

12、人和朋友一起分享，吃遍天下美食，游遍你心中想往的名山大川。 生命是由快樂時(shí)光組成的一個(gè)鏈條，而絕不僅僅是一種生命的存在。,Useyourcrystalgoblets.Donotsaveyourbestperfume,anduseiteverytimeyoufeelyouwant it.
