優(yōu)秀的英語(yǔ)散文:財(cái)富與幸福真的有關(guān)系嗎
So, is it that we have been thinking in the wrong way all along?
所以,是不是我們一直以來(lái)思考問(wèn)題的方向都錯(cuò)了呢?
Don’t care too much about money, because money can only interfere with your pursuit of happiness. The irony is that people think they will be happy when they have money.
不要太在意金錢(qián),因?yàn)榻疱X(qián)只會(huì)對(duì)你追尋幸福的過(guò)程造成干擾。最諷刺的是,人們以為自己擁有金錢(qián)就會(huì)幸福。
In fact, money has nothing to do with happiness. If you are happy and have money, you can use money in exchange for happiness.
事實(shí)上金錢(qián)與幸福毫不相干。如果你感到幸福,同時(shí)又擁有金錢(qián),你可以用金錢(qián)來(lái)?yè)Q取幸福。
However, if you are not happy but have money, then your money can only bring you more misfortune, as money is only a neutral force.
然而如果你沒(méi)有感到幸福,卻擁有金錢(qián),那么你的金錢(qián)只能換來(lái)更多的不幸。因?yàn)榻疱X(qián)只是一種中性的作用力。
Please do not get me wrong. I am not against money. I have no objection to anything. But money is just a means. Money will allow you to move forward with your current lifestyle, no matter how good or bad it is.
請(qǐng)別誤會(huì):我并非反對(duì)金錢(qián)。我沒(méi)有反對(duì)任何東西。但是金錢(qián)僅僅是一種手段。金錢(qián)會(huì)讓你按照已有的生活模式向前邁進(jìn),無(wú)論你此時(shí)的生活模式是好是壞。
But people still keep chasing money as if money can bring them happiness. Whenever they realize that they can find money at another crossing road of life, they will immediately reverse their lifestyle and change their way of life.
可是人們還是不停地尋求金錢(qián),似乎金錢(qián)能帶給他們幸福似的。任何時(shí)候,如果他們發(fā)現(xiàn)在生活之路的另一個(gè)岔路口上可以找到金錢(qián),他們就會(huì)立刻扭轉(zhuǎn)自己的生活模式,改變自己的生活道路。
But once these people find money, they immediately lose themselves because they are ready to change themselves for money.
可是這些人一旦找到了金錢(qián),卻會(huì)立刻迷失自我,因?yàn)樗麄円呀?jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了為金錢(qián)而改變自己。
This is the common secular way of life in this world. Remember, I call them secular not because they have money, but because they have changed their life goals for money. It goes the same for people who are poor.
這就是世俗中蕓蕓眾生的生活方式。記住,我稱(chēng)其世俗并非因?yàn)樗麄儞碛薪疱X(qián),而是因?yàn)樗麄優(yōu)榱私疱X(qián)而改變了自己的生活目標(biāo)。對(duì)一文不名的人來(lái)說(shuō)同樣如此——或許他們僅僅是貧窮。
Poverty does not necessarily mean that the spirit is noble, and wealth is not necessarily equal to money worship. The true money worship lifestyle is to let money over everything.
貧窮并不等于精神高尚,而富貴也并不等于拜金主義。真正的拜金主義生活方式是讓金錢(qián)凌駕于一切之上。
As to the lifestyle that does not worship money, money is only seen as a means: happiness, joy, and your individual dignity are placed higher than money. You know who you are, where your goals are, and you won’t get distracted.
而非拜金主義的生活方式,是將金錢(qián)僅僅視作一種手段:幸福、快樂(lè)和你的個(gè)體尊嚴(yán)都是高于金錢(qián)的。你知道自己是誰(shuí),知道自己的目標(biāo)在何處,你不會(huì)受到旁騖的干擾。
If you can do this, you will find Zen in your life.
能夠如此,你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),你的生活忽然有了一種禪意。

He must have waited for time's own way of bringing things into better perspectives.
他一定是想把一切都交給時(shí)間,讓時(shí)間的魔力使事情變得更好。

每次輪椅轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)方向,我都發(fā)現(xiàn)自己比他更應(yīng)該感到愧疚。
I had been angry about his weakness yet blinded about my own's failure to understand and forgive as a big sister.
我一直因?yàn)樗能浫醵购匏?,卻沒(méi)有看到,作為一個(gè)姐姐,我沒(méi)有理解、原諒他,同樣有錯(cuò)。
I refused to consider that, perhaps, he may have so much difficulty in fighting alone to overcome.
