英语翻译
"Are you the happiest man in the world?" When asked this question,most people would say no.They don't think they are the happiest of the people around them.They would point out that one of their neighbors is happier than any one of them,"Doctor Frank has a career himself.His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community.No,I don't think I am happier than Doctor Frank.At least my career is not as successful as his."
Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier a relative,a close friend or,often,someone we even hardly know.I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy.He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters,and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host.I remember thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right.Once we talked about the Internet,he is grateful for its existence.He told me,because he could look up information on diabetes (糖尿病) the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children.When I heard this,I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life.
This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness:there is little relation between the situations of people's lives and how happy they are.We all know people who are richer and have an easier life than others,yet they are essentially unhappy.And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy.Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault.As a bald man told me,"Whenever I enter a room,all I see is hair."
It is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect." As nothing is perfect,anyone can be unhappy.It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy.True happiness lies in struggling to be happy.
"你是世界上最幸福的人吗?" 当大多数人被问到此问题时,回答是否定的,他们并不认为自己比身边的人更幸福.他们可能会说,他们的某一个邻居比其他人都幸福."FRANK 博士有他自己辉煌的事业,他的妻子也是社区里最漂亮和最有学识的女人.不,我不认为我比他更幸福,至少我的事业就没有他那么成功."
大多数人都会拿一些他们认为比自己幸福的人作比较--亲戚、好友,有时候甚至我们不知道自己在跟谁比.曾经,我遇到一个非常成功和幸福的男人,他在主持脱口秀时向他的妻子和女儿表达爱意和愉快的样子,让我觉得他是少数的幸运儿,这一切对他们来说都看似毫不费力.有一次跟他在网上聊天,他说他妻子得了糖尿病差点死了.我听到这个消息的时候,我像一个傻子一样,还理所当然地认为他生活中没有任何不高兴的事情存在.
这让我思考良久,旋即我在心中刻划出有关幸福的最有意义的影像:一个人幸福与否跟他的生活处境几乎没有关系.我们都知道,那些有钱人比我生活更容易,可是他们不一定比我们更幸福,而也有很受过重大挫折的人能幸福的生活.不幸福就像是我们在寻找什么东西犯了最无足轻重的错误,就如一个光头告诉我,“每当我进入一个房间,我看到的全是头发.”
让我们放弃“成就完美”的想像很难,然而金无足赤,任何都可能不幸福.没有不高兴的勇气和努力,真正的幸福存在于幸福的追求当中.
