 Think it Over


  Today we have higher buildings and wider highways,but shorter temperaments 1 and narrower points of view;
  We spend more,but enjoy less;
  We have bigger houses,but smaller famillies;
  We have more compromises,but less time;
  We have more knowledge,but less judgment 2;
  We have more medicines,but less health;
  We have multiplied out possessions,but reduced out values;
  We talk much,we love only a little,and we hate too much;
  We reached the Moon and came back,but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors;
  We have conquered the uter space,but not our inner space;
  We have highter income,but less morals;
  These are times with more liberty,but less joy;
  We have much more food,but less nutrition;
  These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home,but divorces increase;
  These are times of finer houses,but more broken homes;
  That's why I propose,that as of today;
  You do not keep anything for a special occasion.because every day that you live is a SPECIAL OCCASION.
  Search for knowledge,read more ,sit on your porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs;
  Spend more time with your family and friends,eat your favorite foods,visit the places you love;
  Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment;not only about survival;
  Use your crystal goblets 3.Do not save your best perfume,and use it every time you feel you want it.
  Remove from your vocabulary phrases like"one of these days"or "someday";
  Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days"!
  Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them;
  Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life;
  Every day,every hour,and every minute is special;
  And you don't know if it will be your last.
  [参考译文]
  今天我们拥有了更高层的楼宇以及更宽阔的公路,但是我们的性情却更为急躁,眼光也更加狭隘;
  我们消耗的更多,享受到的却更少;
  我们的住房更大了,但我们的家庭却更小了;
  我们妥协更多,时间更少;
  我们拥有了更多的知识,可判断力却更差了;
  我们有了更多的药品,但健康状况却更不如意;
  我们拥有的财富倍增,但其价值却减少了;
  我们说的多了,爱的却少了,我们的仇恨也更多了;
  我们可以往返月球,但却难以迈出一步去亲近我们的左邻右舍;
  我们可以征服外太空,却征服不了我们的内心;
  我们的收入增加了,但我们的道德却少了;
  我们的时代更加自由了,但我们拥有的快乐时光却越来越少;
  我们有了更多的食物,但所能得到的营养却越来越少了;
  现在每个家庭都可以有双份收入,但离婚的现象越来越多了;
  现在的住房越来越精致,但我们也有了更多破碎的家庭;
  这就是我为什么要说,让我们从今天开始;
  不要将你的东西为了某一个特别的时刻而预留着,因为你生活的每一天都是那么特别;
  寻找更我的知识,多读一些书,坐在你家的前廊里,以赞美的眼光去享受眼前的风景,不要带上任何功利的想法;
  花多点时间和朋友与家人在一起,吃你爱吃的食物,去你想去的地方;
  生活是一串串的快乐时光;我们不仅仅是为了生存而生存;
  举起你的水晶酒杯吧。不要吝啬洒上你最好的香水,你想用的时候就享用吧!
  从你的词汇库中移去所谓的“有那么一天”或者“某一天”;
  曾打算“有那么一天”去写的信,就在今天吧!
  告诉家人和朋友,我们是多么地爱他们;
  不要延迟任何可以给你的生活带来欢笑与快乐的事情;
  每一天、每一小时、每一分钟都是那么特别;
  你无从知道这是否最后刻。
