美文共賞：人生無彩排

　　Get a life. A real life, not a manic pursuit of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
　　活得瀟灑一點。過一種真實的生活，而不是無盡得追求一次又一次的提升，更豐厚的薪水，更大的房子。
　　Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure，it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. Get a life in which you are generous.
　　不要孤獨的生活。找到你愛的人和愛你的人。記住，愛不是閑呆著什么也不干，愛是工作。拿起電話，或發一封電子郵件，或寫一封信。過一種慷慨付出的生活。
　　And realize that life is the best thing ever, and that you have no business taking it for granted.
　　要意識到生活是最美好的，你應該對此倍加珍惜。
　　It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to take for granted the color of our kid's eyes, the way the melody in symphony rises and falls and disappears and rises again...
　　浪費生命實在是太容易了。把一天，一小時，一分鐘浪費掉真的很容易。我們很容易吧孩子的眼神視為當然而不知珍惜：很容易把交響樂中旋律起伏的變化視為當然而不知珍惜...
　　It is so easy to extist instead of to live.
　　我們很容易將自身處于“生命”而非“生活”的狀態。
　　I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me ,something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my option, it would never have been changed at all.
　　And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
　　我學會生活是很多年以前的事了。當時一件非常非常糟糕的事情發生了，它改變了我原有的生活，要是當時我可以選擇的話，這個巨大的改變絕不會發生。而如今看來，從中我學到的是我一生中最艱難的一課。
　　I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned that it is not a dress rehearsal, and that today is the only guarantee you get.
　　我學會了享受過程，而非結果。我領悟到了人生不是一次彩排，你能夠把握的只有當下。
　　I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and utterly. And I tried to do that, in part , by telling others what I had learned.
　　我學會了去看世界上一切美好和善良的事物，并努力將我看到的美好中的一部分再奉獻出來，因為我篤信美好和善良的信念。而我如何回饋呢？方法之一就是將我所感悟到的告訴他人。
　　By telling them this: Consider the lilies of the field. Look at the fuzz on a baby's ear. Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy.
　　我會告訴人們：看看田野間的百合。仔細觀察嬰兒耳朵上的絨毛，在后院里讀書，讓太陽照耀在你的臉上。學會讓自己快樂吧。
　　And think of life as a terminal illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
　　把有生之年看作某種不治之癥的晚期，這樣，你就會帶著喜悅和激情享受這本該充滿樂趣的生活！
