雙語美文：寂寞也好

A man is known by the company he keeps they say. If it is so,then everyone is bound to have their baggage of loneliness with them as companions. Loneliness is not something that doesn't exist at all with any human being on earth. Every human being feels lonely in his life at some point or other. It's but natural to have such feeling, because that's what makes us all human and that is why we are as we are now.

他們說人總是通過他身邊的同伴為人所知的。如果是這樣的話，每個人都注定與孤獨為伴。孤獨感是每個人都會有的，都會在某個時候，感到孤獨，這是非常自然的。因為孤獨感令我們成為人，并令我們成為現在的我們。

If we shed some light on why we feel aloof or lonely at times, we would be very much astonished or even probably surprised by the results. We ourselves are responsible for our selfdefined gloominess. This is because at times we really feel that we are uncared for or feel someone doesn't understand us.

如果我們留心思考為什么我們有的時候會覺得高處不勝寒或孤獨時，我們會對分析的結果感到非常吃驚。我們自己應該對我們自己所定義的憂郁負責任。因為有的時候，我們真的覺得我們被忽視或者不被理解。

Sometimes we over analyze real life situations and have this growing sense of self pity inside us. This feeling always gives us thoughts which picturise us always receiving the wrong end of the stick in life.The truth might not always be true if we touch our heart and see. Its just that our expectations in life and from people around us or circumstances that we are facing,have got the better of us. Expectation is the silent killer which murders millions of mushy and time tested relationships. If there would have been no expectations from anyone, the world would have been a much better place to be. If there would have been no expectations,not many people would have had an aching heart and a life long grouse against there would have been better haves. If it wouldn't have been for unreasonable expectations not many couples would have divorced each other.

有的時候我們過度地分析了真實的情況，這令我們自己產生了自己憐憫自己的感覺。這種感覺經常會給我們錯覺，如果我們捫心自問，真相并不總是真的，它們只是我們對身邊人和環(huán)境過高的期待。期待是一個沉默的殺手，謀殺了無數親密的和經過時間考驗的關系。如果每個人都不去期待，這個世界將會變得更好。如果沒有期待，就不會有那么多人感到心痛，而對于有些人，一生的埋怨也就不會那么長了。如果沒有那些不切實際的期待，也就不會有那么多夫妻離婚了。

How to come out of expectations then? Good question. The answer is when you give something, don't expect anything in return. When our mother gave birth to us, she never expected that we will give birth to her. She has just fulfilled her desire to raise a family and live for them. In the same way, let our actions make us live for our self and let not expectation screw up the major portion of your lives. Let us have the freedom and will power to express our love, affection and longiness for people whenever we feel. Let us not restrict our freedom of expression just because he or she is not responding the way we want them to.

那么怎樣才能跳出期待呢?好問題。答案是，當我們給予的時候，不要期待任何報答。我們的媽媽給予我們生命，決沒有期望我們也給予她生命。她僅僅是完成了她擁有一個家庭并為之而活的理想。同樣，讓我們?yōu)樽约憾睿灰屍诖蔀槟闵拇蟛糠?。讓我們自由地表達我們的愛，感動和渴望。當別人沒有像我們期待的那樣回應，我們也不要失去表達感情的自由。

Well all in all a little bit of loneliness is good for a self-analysis to keep a check over your actions. Introspection always makes you communicate with the inner self, but too much of introspection can make you scale the altitude of self pity. So show restrain at the right time.

當然，總的來說，一點點的孤獨對一個人審視自己的行為是有好處的。自省總是會使你與你的心靈有所交流。但是過度的自省，會使我們總感覺遺憾，因此，還是適而可止的好。
