英語美文朗讀 第569期 What goes around comes around(因果定律)

We often find ourselves in situations in life where we look around and say, oh my god, that can't be a coincidence.

 

在生活中，常有這樣的事，我們環(huán)顧四周，然后情不自禁地說，哇，這該不會是巧合吧。

 

You know, those scenarios where someone you know does something bad and a year later, they have the same exact thing happen to them?

比如，有人做了壞事，一年之后遭到了同樣的報應(yīng)。

 

Or how the most giving and caring people around you also seem to be the happiest and tend to receive most as well?

又比如，你周圍那些最樂于奉獻(xiàn)，最關(guān)心他人的人，他們總是最快樂的，他們得到的也總是最多的。

 

Our universe is go verned by the law of cause and effect, or the law of karma. And in a nutshell, it states that what goes around comes around.

我們的世界，是依照因果報應(yīng)來運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的。簡單地說，就是，一報還一報。

 

That your intent and your actions as a human being is what directly creates the experiences that you go through.

你的動機(jī)，你的行為，決定了你將會經(jīng)歷什么樣的事情。

 

That there is no good deed that goes unrewarded and no evil deed that goes unpunished.

做好事，就一定有好的回報。做壞事，就一定受懲罰。

 

That there is no such thing as a coincidence, and no such thing as a random act of kindness that comes your way. That your state of mind, and more specifically your peace of mind, is governed by your conscious and subconscious intents.

巧合，是不存在的。也不要指望你能僥幸得到別人的寬恕。你的心態(tài)，尤其是你內(nèi)心的平靜程度，是由你那些有意無意的想法決定的。

 

That there is no being in our universe who can harbor evil intents without finding themselves in the midst of evil. That there is no pure heart that will not find itself among experiences of joy and purity.

所有做了壞事的壞人，都會因此付出代價，而不會逃脫懲罰。所有單純美好的心靈，都能感受到真正的快樂和純凈。

 

That you, as a human being, have the power to bring into your experiences moments of joy, moments of excitement, moments of bliss, by creating those moments for other people. That you can become a symbol of success, and have doors open for you, if you have the courage to open doors for others.

作為一個人，你有能力，為別人帶來快樂、激動和喜悅，與此同時你也會收獲這些美好的感受。如果你有勇氣為別人提供機(jī)會，那么你會成為成功的榜樣，你也將獲得機(jī)會。

 

Now if you want to create a better future for yourself, if you want to have a universal force backing you up and in your corner, then from this point on, it's essential that you purify your intents and your actions, especially towards other people.

現(xiàn)在，如果你想為自己創(chuàng)造更美好的未來，如果你想得到來自天地萬物的能量，那么，從現(xiàn)在開始，你就要凈化自己的思想和行為，尤其是你對他人做的事情。

 

I promise that you will never be happy if you are focused on making others miserable. I assure you, that you will never be successful if you wish failure onto others. I guarantee you, you that you will never live in prosperity if you create havoc for others.

我保證，如果你總在想給別人落井下石，那么你永遠(yuǎn)不會快樂。我保證，如果你總盼著別人失敗，那么你永遠(yuǎn)不會成功。我保證，如果你給別人添堵，你永遠(yuǎn)不會獲得富足。

 

We are all one, and we are all connected. Now I can't tell you, if this force is conscious or not, but it does keep score. It does see you in moments of silence. It keeps track of your moments of honesty and dishonesty, and it keeps record of the thoughts, feelings and actions you take each and every single day.

人們是一個整體，人們相互聯(lián)系。我無法告訴你，這種因果報應(yīng)是不是顯而易見的，但是，你做什么它都會看見。它就這樣靜靜地觀察你，把你的誠實(shí)和虛偽記下來，把你的思想、情感、行動記下來，每一天都如此。

 

So, purify yourself. Let go of destructive thought patterns and behaviors. Rid yourself of toxic people who make it easier to make negative decisions. Stop gossiping about your co-workers, about your neighbors, about the person who makes your sandwiches at subway.

所以，凈化你自己吧。如果你有那種總想搞破壞的心態(tài)和行為，把它們都拋棄掉吧。如果你身邊有消極的人，他們會讓你做出消極的決定，那么就遠(yuǎn)離這些人吧。不要八卦，你的同事，你的鄰居，甚至是地鐵站給你做三明治的人，他們的事情都和你沒關(guān)系。

 

Forget about all that. And see the beauty in yourself and in others, and operate in kindness as a reflection of that beauty.

忘掉這些東西吧，去發(fā)現(xiàn)你自己的內(nèi)在美，別人的內(nèi)在美，并且讓這種內(nèi)在美指引你，心懷美好的善良去做事。
