盤點那些美劇教會我們的人生道理

喜歡美劇一開始是因為它的題材豐富且新奇，文化背景的差異及才華橫溢的美國編劇總會碰撞出很多讓人欲罷不能的故事。同時美劇教會了我們很多道理,究竟有哪些道理呢?下面是小編為大家整理的雙語閱讀材料,快來一起看看吧.

1.度過困境

Tough times don’t last. Tough people do. This too shall past.Live one day at a time.

(“艱難的時光不會太久。堅強的人才能挺到最后。一切都會過去的。一天一步慢慢來。”Elementary 第一季第十一集)

2.人際交往

That’s the tricky thing about labels. Once in a while, they tell us everything we need to know. Butmost of the time, it’s only a very small part of the story. Slapping a word or two on a person canmake things worse. In reality, nothing is ever as simple as the label we give it.

(“這是標(biāo)簽的微妙之處。有時候，標(biāo)簽?zāi)芨嬖V我們一切。但大多數(shù)時候，標(biāo)簽只代表很小一部分內(nèi)容。用一兩個詞來形容人會讓事情更糟。事實上，事情全然不像我們貼標(biāo)簽?zāi)敲春唵巍?rdquo;TheCarrie Diaries第一季第三集)

3.家人

I wanted to label my dad an overbearing, overprotective parent, but I could see who he really was– a man who loved his daughters the only way he knew how.

(“我想給我爸爸貼上‘專橫，過度保護’的標(biāo)簽，但我現(xiàn)在才真正了解到，他只是一個以自己的方式疼愛女兒們的爸爸。”The Carrie Diaries第一季第三集)

Family--there is nothing more important. They're the ones who show up when we're in trouble, theones who push us to succeed, and the ones who help keep our secrets.

(“家人，這世上最珍貴的風(fēng)景。困難時他們突然出現(xiàn);有意無意時他們助推成功;守秘時他們相依為伴。”Desperate Housewives)

4.自我突破

When we think about entering new, unchartered territory, it always comes with the idea that weforge ahead. And that’s true to some degree. But often to forge ahead, we have to look back tounderstand what we’re leaving behind. And it can be scary because behind us, there are oftenblind spots...things we want to ignore or couldn’t even see that can stop us from our journeyforward, but only if you let them. At some point, you have to let go of the past and stop lookingbehind and embrace what comes next.

(“當(dāng)我們踏入新的未知領(lǐng)地，通常意味著我們又向前邁進了一步。某種程度上這是對的。但通常為了繼續(xù)向前，我們得回顧過去，去理解我們身后留下了什么。這也許不是易事，因為我們身后往往是盲點，是我們想忽略的事，或是我們無法預(yù)知會讓自己停滯不前的事。總有一天，你得拋開過往，不再回頭，然后擁抱未來。”The Carrie Diaries第一季第五集)

5.目標(biāo)

That’s the thing about goals. When we focus too much on our endgame, we can miss the fun ofthe journey, we can miss the detour that would take us somewhere even more rewarding. Welike to set goals because they give us a feeling of control. But control is an illusion, becausesometimes the earth moves, and we have to deal with wherever we end up, whether it’s on solidground or not.

(“這就是目標(biāo)的矛盾之處，如果我們太過于專注結(jié)果，就會錯過過程中的快樂，說不定繞道而行反而能帶我們抵達更好玩的地方。我們喜歡設(shè)定目標(biāo)是因為這讓我們有控制感。但是控制其實是種幻覺，因為世事難料，無論是順境還是逆境，我們都得接受面對。”The Carrie Diaries第一季第六集)

6.欲望

When you were a kid, it was Halloween candy. You hid it from your parents and ate it until you gotsick. In college, it was the heady combo of youth, tequila, and, well, you know. Too much ofanything, even love, is not always a good thing. Too much information? Too much fun? Toomuch love? Too much to ask? And when is it all just too much to bear? (“在你小時候，你不知足的是萬圣節(jié)的糖果。你背著父母偷偷藏起來吃到自己想吐。進了大學(xué)，覺得永遠不夠的是令人興奮不已的青春，烈酒以及，你知道的。任何東西擁有得過多都不是好事，甚至是愛。太多信息?太多樂趣?太多愛?多到不想再要了?那何時才會多到你無法忍受呢?”Grey’s Anatomy第二季第十集)

7.嘗試

You cannot not try because you’re afraid you’re gonna fail, that’d be like ... that’d be like notwanting to go out on an date because you are afraid all guys are gonna cheat on you, or notwanting to write because you are afraid you’ll never get published anyway. We cannot be afraid togo after what we want even when we don’t know what the outcome’s gonna be.

(“你不能因為害怕失敗而不去嘗試，那會像是害怕男生會劈腿而不愿跟他們約會，或者害怕寫的東西永遠無法出版而不去嘗試寫作。我們不能因為對結(jié)果不確定就害怕追求自己想要的東西。”Privileged)
