雙語美文：懂得感激生活的人，才能快樂

Someone asked "What's your "secret" to a happy life? What makes your days blissful?" on a forum.

有人在論壇上問：「你保持生活愉悅的秘訣是什麼？是什麼讓你的生活美滋滋的？「

I'm not annoying.Think I've got a higher level of life satisfaction than a lot of my friends. There are four things that I can put my finger on that I think I do a little differently than them (and a lot of people). Hope they bring you some joy!

我無意嘩眾取寵，但我真心覺得自己的生活滿意度比周圍許多朋友都要高。我確定在4件事情上的做法與他們不同，並希望這些不同的做法也能給你帶來快樂！

我總是對生活中發生的一切美好神奇的事情心存感激。

My wife is a good human, I work with good people, I'm not sick right now, etc... Looking at the basic, mundane stuff around me and appreciating it really helps me feel like I'm a lucky person.

我的太太很善良，我的同事都是好人，目前我也沒有疾病纏身。看我周圍這些稀鬆平常的事情，讓我內心感動、覺得自己非常幸運。

If you don't have compassion, you stop trying to find the truth behind people's actions and usually just chalk up their negative ones to that person being an asshole.

如果你沒有惻隱之心，你就會停止深究人們行為背後的含義，只記下可惡之人的討厭之處。

I don't think people realize until they've lost something or made a truly irrevocable mistake just how much loss hurts, and how much they'd give to just express their love for whatever it was that is now gone.

我覺得人們往往只有在失去了某樣東西之後，或犯了不可挽回的錯誤之後，才會體會到失去的痛苦，才會意識到自己多麼想對那些已逝之人表達愛意。

Give yourself a break, and don't hold yourself to unreasonable standards on this count: as long as you're looking around your world with an open heart and an open mind, the pure intentions behind anything you're wrong about will shine through.

給自己一個喘息，不要以不近人情的標準來苛責自己，儘可能地多看看這個世界，敞開心扉，解放思想，不去想自己對錯與否，以初心照亮身心。
