感谢岁月曾经来过（英汉对照）

2025年3月14日 星期五 祝福早安 天气阴雨 气温7℃《感谢岁月曾经来过》 Cherry blossoms form clouds, peach flowers glow like sunset hues, and magnolias raise their pristine cups. Parks and mountain trails drown in floral waves, the air thick with fragrance. Visitors pause to capture fleeting beauty in photos.   不要在忧郁的日子里沉沦 Never Sink Into Blue Days Everybody has blue days. These are miserable days when you feel lousy, grumpy, lonely, and utterly exhausted. Days when you feel small and insignificant, when everything seems just out of reach. You can't rise to the occasion. Just getting started seems impossible. On blue days you can become paranoid that everyone is out to get you. This is not always such a bad thing. You feel frustrated and anxious, which can induce a nail-biting frenzy that can escalate into a triple-choco-late-mud-cake-eating frenzy in a blink of an eye! 每个人都有忧郁的日子。那些日子真是惨透了，你觉得心里乱糟糟的、怨气丛生、寂寞、整个人彻底地精疲力竭。 那些日子总会让你感到自己的渺小和微不足道，每件事情似乎都够不着边。你根本无法振作起来，根本没有力气重新开始。 在忧郁的日子里，你可能变成偏执狂，觉得每个人都想要吃定你。其实情况并不总是那么糟。你感到灰心、焦虑，可能开始神经质地拼命咬指甲，然后不可救药地陷入一眨眼吃掉三大块巧克力蛋糕的疯狂中！ On blue days you feel like you're floating in an ocean of sadness. You're about to burst into tears at any moment and you don't even know why. Ultimately, you feel like you're wandering through life without purpose. You're not sure how much longer you can hang on, and you feel like shouting, “Will someone please shout me! ” It doesn't take much to bring on a blue day. You might just wake up not feeling or looking your best, but finding some new wrinkles, putting on a little weight, or getting a huge pimple on your nose. You could forget your date's name or have an embarrassing photograph published. You migh t get dumped, divorced, or fired, make a fool of yourself in public, be afflicted with a demeaning nickname, or just have a plain old bad-hair day. Maybe work is a pain in the butt. You're under major pressure to fill someone else's shoes, your boss is picking on you, and everyone in the office is driving you crazy. You might have a splitting headache, or a slipped dish, or bad breath, a toothache, chronic gas, dry lips, or a nasty ingrown toenail. Whatever the reason, you're convinced that someone up there doesn't like you. Oh what to do, what to do? Well, if you're like most people, you'll hide behind a flimsy belief that everything will sort itself out. Then you'll spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, waiting for everything to go wrong all over again. All the while becoming crusty and cynical or a pathetic, sniveling victim. Until you get so depressed that you lie down and beg the earth to swallow you up or, even worse, become addicted to Billy Joel songs. This is crazy, because you're only young once and you're never old twice. 在忧郁的日子里，你会觉得自己在悲伤的海里沉沉浮浮。不论在什么时候，你总有种想哭的冲动，却不知道为了什么。最后，你觉得自己犹如行尸走肉，失去生活目标。你不知道自己还可以撑多久，然后你想大喊一声：“谁来一枪把我打死吧！” 其实一点小事就让你一天都郁闷难当。也许只是一觉醒来，没有感觉到或者看到自己最棒的一面，而是发现自己又多了几条皱纹，又重了几斤，或是鼻子上冒出了一个大包。你可能忘记了约会对象的名字，或是有张可笑的照片被登出来。你或许被人抛弃、离了婚，或是被开除，当众出丑，被刻薄的绰号弄得心乱如麻，或许只因为你整天顶着一个其丑无比的发型。 也许工作让你痛苦得如坐针毡。你在强大的压力下顶替他人的位置，你的老板对你百般挑剔，办公室里的每一个人都让你发疯。你可能会头疼欲裂，或重心不稳跌个正着，或口臭、牙痛、不停放屁、口干舌燥，或是指甲长到肉里头了。 不管什么原因，你确定上面有人不喜欢你。唉，该怎么办，到底该怎么办呢？嗯，你可能跟大部分人一样，随便找一个站不住脚的借口躲起来，以为事情会自行解决。结果你得花掉下半辈子的时间回头看，等着一次又一次的重蹈覆辙。最后你会变成一个易怒的、愤世嫉俗的，或者一个可怜兮兮的、哭哭啼啼的受害者。最终你绝望地躺在地上，祈求地球将你吞没，或是沉迷在比利·乔的蓝调音乐中不能自拔。 这的确很蠢，因为你只能年轻一次，而且绝对不可能老两次。 六英尺的恐惧 Six Inches'Fear A man walking in the night slipped from a rock. Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet, because he knew that place was a very deep valley, he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock. In the night all he could see was a bottomless abyss. He shouted, his own shout reflected back—there was nobody to hear. You can imagine that man and his whole night of scare. Every moment there was death, his hands were becoming cold, he was losing his grip...and as the sun came out he looked down and he laughed. There was no abyss. Just six inches down there was a rock. He could have rested the whole night, slept well—the rock was big enough—but the whole night was a nightmare. Fear is only six inches deep. Now it is up to you whether you want to go on cling to the branch and turn your life into a nightmare, or whether you would love to leave the branch and stand on your feet. 一个人在赶夜路时，突然从岩石上跌了下去，他吓得赶紧抓住了岩石上的树枝，因为他知道这一带有个深谷，一不小心就会跌入上千英尺的深渊。一整晚上，他唯一能看到的就是深不见底的峡谷。他大呼救命，但只听到了自己的回音——没有人能听到他呼救。 你可以想象一下他的处境和整晚的恐惧。死神随时都有可能降临。他的手开始发凉，渐渐地抓不住了……当太阳升起的时候，他朝下看了看，笑了。下面压根就没有什么深渊。在他下方六英尺的地方有一块大石头。岩石那么大，他本可以在那儿休息一个晚上，美美地睡上一觉，但昨晚他却在梦魇中度过。 恐惧只是六英尺的距离而已。接下来，到了你作决定的时候了：你是想要继续抓着树枝过梦魇一般的生活，还是更喜欢把手从树枝上松开，双脚着地？ 我们都是地球的乘客 Riders on the Earth Together Each moment in history is a fleeting time, precious and unique. But some stand out as moments of beginning, in which courses are set that shape decades or centuries. This can be such a moment. Forces now are converging that make possible, for the first time, the hope that many of man's deepest wishes can at last be realized... As the Apollo astronauts flew over the moon's gray surface on Christmas Eve, they spoke to us of the beauty of earth—and in that voice so clear across the lunar distance, we heard them invoke God's blessing on its goodness. In that moment, their view from the moon moved poet Archibald MacLeish to write:“To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold—brothers who know now they are truly brothers.”... Our destiny offers, not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity. So let us seize it, not in fear, but in gladness—and, “Riders on the earth together”, let us go forward, firm in our faith, steadfast in our purpose, cautious of the dangers; but sustained by our confidence in the will of God and the promise of man. 历史上的每一刻都是飞逝的时光，珍贵而独特。但是，某些时刻作为起点而不同寻常，在那些时刻里，决定数十年或几个世纪的方向得以确定。现在就可能是这样一个时刻。 目前各种力量正会聚在一起，使我们第一次可能期望人类的许多夙愿最终得以实现…… “阿波罗”号的宇航员在圣诞夜飞跃月球灰色的表面时，向我们说起地球的美丽——在那穿越了月球的距离还如此清晰的声音中，我们听到他们祈求上帝赐福人间。 那一刻，他们从月球上表达的心愿促使诗人阿奇博尔德·麦克利什写下：“要真实地看清地球，那小小的、蓝色的、美丽的、漂浮在永恒寂静中的地球，就得把我们自己都看做是地球的乘客，是在永远寒冷的宇宙中，依靠光明的挚爱的兄弟——这群兄弟如今懂得他们是真正的兄弟。” 命运赐予我们的不是绝望的苦酒，而是机会的美餐。所以让我们抓住它，不是害怕地，而是高兴地——“地球的乘客们”，让我们前进吧，坚定信念、坚定目标、提防危险，以我们对上帝意志和人类希望的信念为支柱。 放飞你的心情 Setting Your Heart Free In the spring of life, In the flower of youth, Everything is bright and new. In the summer of life, Time of growth and change, Each day brings new dreams to pursue. In the autumn of life, There's a settling down— Contentment and sureness in what we do. In the winter of life, Comes peace and wisdom, Time to relax and reminisce, too... But with the passing of these seasons, Life is still not done, not through, For there is yet another season. When each spirit is renewed. And it is in this calm fifth season, In this hopeful second spring, 在生命的春天 在青春的花季 一切都明媚新奇 在生命的夏季 成熟和转变的时机 每天，追求新的梦想 在生命的秋季 努力有了成果—— 感到安全而满意 在生命的冬天 迎来了宁静与智慧 到了放松和追忆的时机—— 然而随着这些季节的逝去 生命还不完整，还要继续 因为还有另一个季节 当春日轮回 就到了平静的第五季 充满希望的第二个春天 A time of cleansing and rebirth, A time of new awakening; Each person's life will come full circle, Even as the seasons do; To start another, different life, Much better than the one we knew. 这是清新和再生的时机 新觉醒的时机 生命都开始轮回 即使季节也不例外 开始另一段全新的生活 比原来的要好上百倍 Do You Have a Confident Jar 你有一只自信的罐子吗 人的生命应当像河流，开始是涓涓细流，受两岸的限制而十分狭窄，尔后奔腾咆哮，翻过危岩，飞越瀑布，河面渐渐开阔，河岸也随之向两边隐去。 人生物语 A Lesson in Life Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be—your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger. When you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity—all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they are events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience—they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones. 有时，有些人一闯入你的生活你便知道他们本就想这么做，其中有着一定的目的——或给你一个教训，或帮助你明白你是谁或你要成为谁。你永远也不知道这些人会是谁，是你的舍友、邻居、教授、久违的朋友、爱人，甚或是一个完全陌生的人。当你与他们四目相对，你便知道他们会以某种深远的方式影响你的生活。 有时，一些事情发生了，它们看上去是那么可怕、痛苦和不公。但细想一下你就会明白，如果没有去努力克服这些难题，你将永远也不会知道自己的潜能、力量、意志力和内心。任何事情的发生都是有原因的，没有一件事是偶然发生的或是因某种好运或噩运发生的。疾病、伤害、爱、真正的伟大的消逝和完全的愚蠢——所有这一切的发生都是对你的精神极限的考验。不管这考验是一些事件、疾病或是某种关系，没有了它们，生活都将只剩下阳光大道，安稳、舒适，但却单调、没有意义，不会通往任何地方。 你遇到的那些影响你的生活的人和你所经历的成功或失败，都会让你看清自己。即使是不好的经历，也能让你从中得到教训。这些教训是最严酷的，但也可能是最重要的。 If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you how to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it. “People are like tea bags—you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are.”

A good book to read when you almost lost yourself.
