介绍:
Think It Over 好好想想
Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view.
今天我们拥有了更高层的楼阁以及更宽阔的公路，但是我们的性情却更为急躁，眼光也更加狭隘。
We spend more,
but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses, but smaller families.
我们消耗掉的更多了，
享受到的却变少了；
我们拥有的住房更大了，
但家庭成员却变少了；
We have more compromises, but less time.
We have more knowledge, but less judgement.
We have more medicines, but less health.
我们妥协的更多了，
但个人时间却更少了；
我们拥有的知识更多了，
可判断力却更差了；
我们拥有的药品更多了，
但健康状况却更不尽如人意了。
We have multiplied our possessions,
but reduced our values.
We talk much,
we love only a little,
and we hate too much.
我们的财富与日俱增，
但其价值却降低了；
我们说的太多，却爱的太少，
厌恶也随之变多了。
We reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors.
We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space.
我们可以往返月球，却难以迈出一步去亲近左邻右舍；我们可以征服太空，却攻克不了内心。
We have higher income, but less morals.
These are times with more liberty, but less joy.
With much more food,
but less nutrition.
我们的收入增加了，但道德却减少了；时代更加自由了，但快乐时光却短暂了；我们可以享用的食物越来越多，但所能摄取的营养却越来越少了。
These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase.
These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes.
现在，双收入家庭越来越多，但离婚率却大幅增长；住房越来越精致，但破碎的家庭却屡增不减。
That’s why I propose that as of today-
You do not keep anything for a special occasion,
because every day that you live is a special occasion.
所以我提议从今天开始-不要把东西预留到某一个特别时刻，因为你当下活着的每一天都那么特别；
Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to the needs.
学无止境，多读一些书，坐在家门前，享受眼前的美景，无欲无求；
Spend more time with your family, eat your favorite food, and visit the place you love. Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment;
not only about survival.
多花些时间和家人在一起，
吃你爱吃的食物，去你想去的地方。
生活是一串串的快乐时光；
不仅仅是为了生存。
Use your crystal goblets.
Do not save your best perfume... Use it every time when you feel you want it.
举起你的水晶高脚杯吧！不要吝惜你最好的香水，你想用的时候就享用吧！
Take out from your vocabulary phrases like, “one of these days” and “someday”.
Let’s write that letter we thought of writing “one of these days”!
从你的字典里删去“有那么一天”或者“某一天”等词语；
曾打算“有那么一天”要写的信，
就在今天写了吧！
Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them.
Never pass up a chance at adding laughter and joy to your life.
Every day, hour, and minute is special,
because you never know if it will be your last.
告诉我们的家人和朋友，我们是多么地爱他们。
不要放过任何可以为你的生活带来欢笑与快乐的机会。
每天、每时、每分钟都那么独特，因为你无从知道这是否将是你人生的最后一刻。
