"When we reach the station, that will be it!" we cry." When I'm 18." "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!" "When I put the last kid through college." "When I have paid off the mortgage!" "When I get a promotion." "When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!"
"當(dāng)我們到站的時候, 一切就都好了! "我們呼喊著! "當(dāng)我18歲的時候! ""當(dāng)我有了一輛新450SL奔馳的時候! ""當(dāng)我供最小的孩子念完大學(xué)的時候! ""當(dāng)我償清貸款的時候! ""當(dāng)我官升高任的時候! ""當(dāng)我到了退休的時候, 就可以從此過上幸福的生活啦! "
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It
constantly outdistances us.
可是我們終究會認(rèn)識到人生的旅途中并沒有車站, 也沒有能夠"一到永逸"的地方!生活的真正樂趣在于旅行的過程, 而車站不過是個夢, 它始終遙遙領(lǐng)先于我們!真正令人發(fā)瘋的不是今日的負(fù)擔(dān), 而是對昨日的悔恨及對明日的恐懼! 悔恨與恐懼是一對孿生竊賊, 將今天從你我身邊偷走!
It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.
那么就不要在過道里徘徊吧, 別老惦記著你離車站還有多遠(yuǎn)! 何不換一種活法, 將更多的高山攀爬, 多吃點兒冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴, 經(jīng)常光著腳板兒溜達(dá), 在更多的河流里暢游, 多看看夕陽西下, 多點歡笑哈哈, 少讓淚水滴答! 生活得一邊過一邊瞧! 車站就會很快到達(dá)!
