大家好,欢迎收听今天的里昂夜读,我是里昂。
配乐:眼泪 (钢琴版) - 张崇德
成年人的快乐总是很短暂。
一包薯片的快乐只能维持十分钟,之后的每一分钟都带着愧疚;拖延的快乐更加短暂,战战兢兢熬过晚上第二天还是要面对现实。
小时候可以想哭就哭想笑就笑,长大后快乐却变得很难。能买到的东西越来越多,但快乐这玩意儿却永远置于价格的顶端,经常断货,难以捉摸。
Be Happy
快乐
Active happiness-not mere satisfaction or contentment-often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it.
积极的快乐——并非单纯的满意或知足——通常不期而至,就像四月里突然下起的春雨,或是花蕾的突然绽放。然后,你就会发觉与快乐结伴而来的究竟是何种智慧。
The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.
草地更为青翠,鸟鸣更为甜美,朋友的缺点也变的更能让人理解、宽容。快乐就像一副眼镜,可以矫正你的精神视力。
Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall. Happy, the wall crumbles.
快乐的视野并不仅限于你周围的事物。当你不快乐时,你的思维陷入情感上的悲哀,你的眼界就像被一道墙给阻隔住了。而当你快乐时,这道墙会砰然倒塌。
The long vista is there for the seeing, the ground at your feet, and the world about you-people, thoughts, emotions, and pressures-are now fitted into the larger scene. Everything assumes a fairer proportion. And here is the beginning of wisdom.
你的眼界变的更为宽广,你脚下的大地,你身边的世界,包括人、思想、情感和压力,现在都融入了更为广阔的景象之中,其间每件事物的比例都更加合理。而这就是睿智的起始。
结束语:
小时候收到告白的小纸条都会忍不住微笑
长大了怎么被撩都不会心动一下
小时候拥有五块钱就约等于拥有全世界
长大了银行卡里得有五位数才能略微心安
小时候热衷于帮爸妈拔白头发
长大了的愿望是能进最贵的医院植发
你曾有过哪些快乐
说出来大家伙一起快乐一下吧
