經典哲理英語小文章:永不滿足
When the lady Nadine Kentucky was 85 years old, she was asked what she would do if she had her to live over again.
別人問85歲的納丁·肯塔基女士,她能再活一遍的話,她會選擇怎樣。
“I’d make more mistakes next without worry too much,” she said. “I’d relax. I would limber up. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I’d have fewer imaginary ones.
“我不會擔心下次犯更多的錯誤;我會放松自己;我會做好充分的準備;我不會把很多問題看的太嚴重;我會爭取更多的機會;我會去爬更多的山,游更多次泳;我會多吃些冰淇淋,少吃些豆子;我可能會遇到更多的困難,但我會少些異想天開。”
“You see, I’m one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, if I had to do it over again, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d try to have nothing else. If I had to do it over again, I would travel happier than I have.”
“看,我就是那種每天、每時都要求自己活的明智而理性的人。如果我有機會能重新來過,我將生活得更為明智而理性。事實上,我也不會去做別的什么事。如果我有機會重新來過,我會在的旅途上生活的更。”
“If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more house and I would pick more daisies.”
“如果我有機會重新來過,我會從早春開始光著叫丫散步,直到晚秋。我會去參加更多的舞會;我會去騎更多的馬;我會去摘更多的雛菊。”
