卡卡英語 第102期:生命中的五個(gè)球
今天我們分享的是生命中的五個(gè)球。
Five Balls of Life
生命中的五個(gè)球
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
想象生命是一場(chǎng)不停丟擲五個(gè)球于空中的游戲。這五個(gè)球分別為工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心靈，而且你很努力地?cái)S著這五個(gè)球，不讓它們落地。很快地你會(huì)了解工作是一個(gè)橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它，它還是會(huì)彈回來。
But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
但是家庭、健康、朋友和心靈這四個(gè)球是用玻璃做成的。一旦你失手落下，它們可能會(huì)少了一角，留下無法挽回的記號(hào)、刻痕、損壞甚至碎落一地。它們將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)跟以前一樣。你必須了解這個(gè)道理，并且為平衡你的生命而努力。但要怎么才做得到呢？
?
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
別人認(rèn)為重要的事不一定是你的目標(biāo)。只有你才知道什么最適合你。
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
不要將貼近你的心的人、事物視為理所當(dāng)然的存在。你必須將他們視為你的生命一般好好地抓牢他們。沒有他們，生命將失去意義。
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
別害怕承認(rèn)你并非完美。正因如此，我們才得以藉由這脆弱的細(xì)絲緊密地串綁在一起。
Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
別害怕遇到危險(xiǎn)。正因如此，我們才得以藉由這些機(jī)會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)勇敢。
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
別以愛太難找到作為借口而緊閉你的心扉。最迅速找到愛的方法就是給予你的愛；最快速失去愛的方法就是緊緊地守著你的愛不放；維持愛的最好方式就是給愛一雙翅膀。
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
莫要匆忙地度過你的一生，那匆忙讓你忘了曾經(jīng)到過哪里，也讓你忘了你要去哪里。
Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
莫忘記，人類情感上最大的需要是感恩。
