　　精品閱讀：在你開口抱怨之前

　　There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, "If I could only see the world, I would marry you."

　　從前有一個盲姑娘，她非常恨自己雙目失明。她恨所有的人，但她親愛的男朋友除外，因為無論什么時候，他都在她身邊。她對男朋友說：“如果我能獲得光明，我就嫁給你。”

　　One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

　　有一天，有人給她捐了一雙眼。等繃帶解開后，她什么都可以看見了，這也包括了她的男朋友。

　　He asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

　　他問：“現在你可以看到這個世界了，你會嫁給我嗎?”那個女孩子看著自己的男友，看到他是雙目失明的。但他雙眼緊閉的樣子讓她很意外，這是她之前沒有料想到的。想到余生都要看著這緊閉的雙眼，她拒絕嫁給他。

　　Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: Take good care of my eyes, dear. I'll always love you.

　　她的男朋友流著眼淚走了。幾天后，他給她寫了一張紙條：親愛的，好好珍惜我的雙眼。我會永遠愛你。

　　This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations. Life is a gift.

　　當我們的身份變了之后，我們的思想也通常會發(fā)生變化。只有很少人會記得以前的生活是什么樣子，在最痛苦的時候又是誰陪在他們的身邊。生活是一份禮物。

　　Today before you say an unkind word—Think of someone who can't speak.

　　今天，在你就要說出不善之語之前——想一下那些無法開口說話的人。

　　Before you complain about the taste of your food—Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

　　在你抱怨食物味道不如意之前——想想那些沒有東西吃的人。

　　Today before you complain about life—Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

　　今天，在你打算因為生活狀況而發(fā)牢騷的時候——想想那些過早離開了人世的人。

　　Before whining about the distance you drive—Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

　　在你為駕駛距離不滿的時候——想想那些要用雙腳走完同樣距離的人。

　　And when you are tired and complain about your job—Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

　　在你疲憊不堪，抱怨自己的工作的時候——想想那些失業(yè)者、殘疾人，還有那些想獲得你那份工作的人。

　　And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down—Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.

　　在你情緒低落，一蹶不振的時候——要面帶笑容，然后這樣想：你活著，還活得好好的。
