幸福的婚姻就是少自找麻煩
A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.一個男人和他的女朋友結(jié)婚，舉行了一場盛大的結(jié)婚慶典。
All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake ofthe festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time. The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
所有的朋友和家人都來到結(jié)婚典禮上參加歡宴和慶�；顒�。大家都過得很開心。穿著白色婚紗的新娘漂亮迷人，穿著黑色禮服的新郎英俊瀟灑。每個人都能看出他們彼此的愛是真誠的。
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage," she offered. "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together."
幾個月后，妻子走近丈夫提議說：“我剛才在雜志上看到一篇文章，說的是怎樣鞏固婚姻。”她說：“我們兩個人都各自把對方的小毛病列在一張紙上，然后我們商量一下怎樣解決，以使我們的生活更幸福。”
The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
丈夫同意了。于是他們各自走向不同的房間去想對方的缺點。那一天余下的時間里，他們都在思考這個問題，并且把他們想到的都寫下來。第二天早上，吃早飯的時候，他們決定談?wù)劚舜说娜秉c。
"I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
“我先開始吧。”妻子說。她拿出她的單子，上面列舉了很多條，事實上，足足寫滿了三頁。當(dāng)她開始念的時候，她注意到丈夫眼里含著淚花。
"What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading your list."
“怎么啦?”她問。“沒什么，”丈夫答道，“繼續(xù)念吧。”
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.
妻子又接著念。整整三頁都念完之后她把單子整齊地放在桌上，兩手交叉放在上面。
"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists," she said happily.
“現(xiàn)在該你念了，然后我們談?wù)勊信e的缺點。”她高興地說。
Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you." The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
丈夫平靜地說：“我什么也沒寫，我覺得像你這樣就很完美了，我不想讓你為我改變什么。你很可愛迷人，我不想讓你改變。”妻子被丈夫的誠實和對她深深的愛和接納感動了，她轉(zhuǎn)過頭去哭起來。
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?
生命中我們有很多的失望、沮喪和煩惱，我們根本不需要尋找。我們美妙的世界充滿了美麗、光明、希望。但是，當(dāng)我們放眼四周時，為什么浪費時間尋找不快、失望和煩惱，而看不到我們面前的美好事物呢?

原來你只是沒有看到自己的幸福
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness……you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
如果你早上醒來的時候健康無恙……那么，比起活不過這一周的百萬人來說，你真是幸運多了。
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
如果你未曾經(jīng)歷過戰(zhàn)爭的危險、入獄的孤獨、嚴(yán)刑的苦楚、饑餓的痛苦……那么，比起世界上5億人來，你真是幸運多了。
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep… you are richer than 75% of this world.
如果你冰箱里有食物，身上有衣服可穿，有屋篷遮蔽，有地方睡覺……那么，比起世界上75%的人來，你真是富足多了。
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish some place…you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealth.
如果你銀行中有存款，錢包中也有錢，還能到某處消費習(xí)菜……你便躋身在世界上最富有的8%人口當(dāng)中了。
If your parents are still alive and still married…you are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada.
如果你的父母依然健在，而且還在一起生活的話……這可是非常難得的事，即使是在美國與加拿大。
Someone once said: What goes around comes around.
有人說過：我所付出的終將會回歸。
So…
Work like you don’t need the money.
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
Dance like nobody’s watching.
Sing like nobody’s listening.
Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.
所以……
去工作時，猶如你不執(zhí)迷于金錢。
去愛他人，猶如你從未曾被傷害。
去舞蹈吧，猶如無人在一旁觀看。
去歌唱吧，猶如無人在一邊諦聽。
好好地生活，猶如這里是人間樂土。
The Paradox of Happiness
幸福的悖論
What is the definition of "happiness"? Is it material wealth filled with fancy cars, a dream house, extravagant furs and jewelry? Or is happiness simply having a roof over your head? Food in the fridge? Having a child? A pet? A swimming pool? A designer Gucci bag? Parents? Grandchildren? Love? Money? The perfect job? Winning the Lottery?
“幸福”是什么?幸福是擁有豪華的汽車、夢想的居室、名貴的裘皮和珠寶等物質(zhì)上的富足嗎?或者，幸福其實很簡單——有遮風(fēng)避雨的住所，冰箱里有食物，有孩子、寵物、游泳池、Gucci的包，有父母、子孫、有愛情、金錢和理想的工作，彩票中獎了呢?
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, “Happiness “is derived from the Middle English word hap--meaning "Luck", But does happiness really have anything to do with "luck:? Based on this description, one could assume that if you avoided a fatal traffic accident but got fired by coming late to work, you would be filled with "happiess"?
Is it luck or what you make of it? Maybe, "happiness" exactly defined by its indirect alias: happiness--perhaps, happiness is in fact defined by the fortune that we permit ot happen.
Do you recall a time--let's say when you were about 5 years old--what defined happiness back then? Was it getting a puppy for Christmas? Or maybe, you were a child of divorce; and all you wanted was for Mom and Dad to get back together again? Then as you got older, you were hoping that someone would ask you to the prom that would've made your day, maybe your life for the moment.
During college, good grades made you happy, but it was short-lived. Because in the real world, you had to look for a job, and competition was stark. It's all employer's world you thought.
But then, you got the perfect job--now you could be happy--or could you?
在《美國傳統(tǒng)字典》中，幸福是從中古英語“Hap”一詞演變而來，“Hap”意為“好運”。
幸福真的與“好運”有關(guān)聯(lián)嗎?基于此，想想看，如果你在一場必死無疑的交通事故中幸免于難，卻因此遲到，導(dǎo)致被老板炒魷魚。
對此，我們應(yīng)該感到“幸福”嗎?這是好運嗎?還是要看個人如何看待你能回憶起你5歲時對幸福的理解嗎?那時，幸福是從圣誕樹上摘下的一只小狗嗎?或者爸爸媽媽離婚了，你唯一的愿望就是他們能和好如初，重新生活在一起?當(dāng)你漸漸長大，你希望有人會邀請你參加舞會，希望所有的日子都凝固在那一天，那一刻。
上大學(xué)期間，考試得了高分讓你無比開心，但這種幸福感畢竟是短暫的。
因為在現(xiàn)實中，你得找一份工作，而社會競爭也相當(dāng)激烈。
于是，你就會想，這是一個雇主的世界。
隨后，你找到了一份理想的工作——現(xiàn)在的你很開心，是嗎?
Life requires more than just what we want. Inevitably, one must understand to truly find "happiness”, he must make his own happiness "happen". Sounds a bit redundant, but truthfully, there is no set guidelines that will bring one happiness. There is no "magic wand" we can wave to bring joy into our lives. Human nature thrives on the thrill of the chase.
We dream and we hope for the next big break—it is the grand adventure of living.
生活向我們索要的遠比我們想要的多。
一個人必須明白，要想真正找到幸福，他就必須讓自己幸福。
可能聽起來有些多余，但確是如此——生活中，沒有能代來幸福的現(xiàn)成的指南，也沒有揮一揮就能帶來歡樂的魔棒。
人性在追求幸福的刺激中不斷升級、完善。
我們夢想著，期望著下一個大的轉(zhuǎn)變——這就是生活中的大冒險了。
We are hopeless creatures of comfort. We like having and accumulating things. Whether one admits to it or not, to a certain degree, we all try to keep up with "the Jones".
We work so we can pay our rents, mortgages, credit card debts, school loans, car payments...the list goes on and on. And at some point, we realize, that aside from having most of what we want, we still aren't happy.
Now since we've learned to adapt to new standards which we've created for ourselves, we find that we have less time, less patience, less sleep, which equates to more stress, more worry and more aggravation. So, is happiness honestly just comprised of "things"?
我們是無助的享樂者，喜歡擁有和積攢東西。
不論人們承認與否，一定程度上，我們都在相互攀比。
我們之所以工作，是因為要付房租，償還抵押貸款，還清信用卡透支費用，償付助學(xué)貸款，買車，等等。
此類費用接連而至，讓我們應(yīng)接不暇。
于是，我們會突然意識到，盡管擁有了想要的一切，我們?nèi)匀徊恍腋！?/p>
自從適應(yīng)了自己定下的新生活標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，我們的時間短了，耐性沒了，睡眠少了，但壓力大了，焦慮多了，脾氣也暴躁了。
鑒于此，幸福真的是由“物質(zhì)”組成的嗎?
Sometimes, we virtually trade our lives for not only basic necessities, but for excessive items and services as well. We become so obsessed with finding happiness, that we lose sight of the fact that happiness is within always.
Certainly, you've heard of individuals trying to "find themselves", or "rediscover themselves". The reason they are attempting these innovative approaches is because they are seeking inner happiness. But the point has been missed: Happiness is already there.
事實上，有時，我們不僅用生命交換生活必需品，還用生命交換多余的物質(zhì)享受和服務(wù)。
我們這般沉迷于追求幸福，卻忽略了一個事實——幸福一直就在我們心中。
當(dāng)然，你一定聽過這樣的事，即有些人一直都在苦苦“找尋自我”或“重新發(fā)現(xiàn)自我”。
他們創(chuàng)新嘗試的理由只不過是想找尋心靈深處的幸福。
但他們忽略了一點，即幸福從頭至尾到在心中。
Disappointments and tragedies in life will come and go, but happiness never leaves you. The human's capacity to be resilient to trials is unfathomable. We can lose our jobs, but be grateful for our spouses.
We can lose our homes to nature, but be thankful to alive.
失望和悲傷在生命中交替輪回，但幸福從不會舍你而去。
人類對困難的適應(yīng)能力無可限量。
我們可以失去工作，但會為擁有愛人而感恩不已;我們可以流離失所，但會為活著而心存感激。
Happiness is a perception of each individual. We are instinctively compelled to find fault in our lives. By human nature, we begin our "fault-find-ing" mission the moment we're capable of free-thinking.
It is then, that we lose sense of self-worth and the bigger picture of vitality altogether. Stuck in the patterns of the happiness paradox, we simply cannot find where our happiness has gone.
幸福是個人的一種感知。
我們本能地受限于外界，找尋著生活的瑕疵，出于人的天性，我們從有能力自由思考的那刻起，就開始對生活吹毛求疵。
也就在那時，我們失去了對自我價值的認知，也失去了生命的活力，陷于幸福的矛盾中，找不到幸福的方向。
It's not a matter of bargaining, it's not an issue of money or fame—instead, happiness is what you resolve to accept. If we live through optimistic hope; if we dare to dream; if we empower ourselves to fully live; then we have regained our sense of happiness. There is no in between.
There is no other replacement. We only have one physical life to live—we have no choice but to make the most of it.
幸福是你決定去接受的東西，沒有任何商量的余地，它于金錢或名譽毫無瓜葛。
只要我們活在樂觀希望之中，敢于大膽夢想，活得簡單純粹，那么，我們就會重新?lián)碛行腋５母杏X。
那種感覺并非懸于幸于不幸之間的真空地帶，也無任何替代品。
我們只能活一次——除了好好活著，我們別無選擇。
