The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.- Eric Hoffer
世界上最難的算術題是如何清點我們的祝福。

According to legend, a young man while roaming the desert came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water. The water was so sweet, he filled his leather canteen so he could bring some back to a tribal elder who had been his teacher.
據傳說，一個年輕的男子在漫遊沙漠途中看到一泉如水晶般清澈而可口的水。水的味道非常甜美，於是他灌滿了他的皮水壺，這樣就可以帶一些回去，送給曾經是他老師的部落長老。
After a four-day journey he presented the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart.
經過四天的旅程，他把水呈獻給老人。老人深飲一口，和藹地笑了笑，並深切感激學生贈予他甜美的水。年輕人懷著愉快的心情回到了村莊。
Later, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It apparently had become stale because of the old leather container.
後來，老師讓他的另一個學生品嘗水。學生吐了出來，說水太難喝了。它顯然已經因為陳舊的皮革容器而變得不再新鮮。
The student challenged his teacher: "Master, the water was foul. Why did you pretend to like it?"
學生質疑他的老師：「師父，水是臭的，你為什麼要假裝喜歡它？」
The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for an act of loving-kindness and nothing could be sweeter."
老師回答說，「你只品嘗了水的味道，我卻是在品嘗禮物的味道。水僅僅是裝載善與愛之行為的容器，而沒有什麼東西比善與愛更甜美了。」
I think we understand this lesson best when we receive innocent gifts of love from young children. Whether it's a ceramic tray or a macaroni bracelet, the natural and proper response is appreciation and expressed thankfulness because we love the idea within the gift.
我認為當我們從天真的孩子們那裡收到愛的禮物時，能夠最透徹地明白這個道理。無論它是一個陶瓷托盤或通心粉手鐲，我們自然而恰當的反應是欣賞，並表示感激，因為我們喜歡禮物所包含的心意。
Gratitude doesn't always come naturally. Unfortunately, most children and many alts value only the thing given rather than the feeling embodied in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty and purity of feelings and expressions of gratitude. After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.
感恩並不總是自然而來的。不幸的是，大多數兒童和成人只看重被贈予的東西本身，而不是它體現的情誼。我們應該提醒自己，並教導我們的孩子，感情和對感激之情的表達是美麗而純潔的。畢竟，發自內心給與的禮物才是真正的禮物。

The Little Match-Girl 賣火柴的小女孩

It was dreadfully cold, it was snowing fast, and almost dark； the evening----the last evening of the old year was drawing in. But, cold and dark as it was, a poor little girl, with bare head and feet, was still wandering about the streets. When she left her home she had slippers on, but they were much too large for her； indeed, properly, they belonged to her mother, and had dropped off her feet whilst1 she was running very fast across the road, to get out of the way of two carriages. One of the slippers was not to be found, the other had been snatched up by a little boy, who ran off with it thinking it might serve him as a doll's cradle.

天氣非常非常冷，雪下得很大，夜幕已降臨。這是舊年最後的一夜——除夕之夜。盡管天氣是那麼的寒冷和黑暗，一個貧窮的小女孩，光頭赤腳仍在大街上徘徊。當她離家出門的時候，腳上穿著一雙拖鞋，那是一雙相當大的拖鞋——的確太大了，那是她媽媽穿著合適的一雙拖鞋。當她匆忙橫穿馬路的時候，兩輛馬車飛快地闖過來，嚇得她把拖鞋跑丟了。一隻怎麼也找不到，另一隻被一個小男孩搶跑了。他想，這只鞋可以當做玩具娃娃睡覺的搖籃。

So the little girl now walked on, her bare feet quite red and blue with the cold. She carried a small bundle of matches in her hand, and a good many more in her tattered apron. No one had bought any of them the live long day； no one had given her a single penny. Trembling with cold and hunger crept she on, the picture of sorrow: poor little child!

現在這小女孩只好光著腳在街上行走，一雙腳步凍得又紅又青。她那破舊的圍裙兜著許多火柴，手裡還拿著一小捆。可整整一天誰也沒有向她買過一根——誰也沒有給她一個銅板。她又餓又冷，哆哆嗦嗦地向前走著，這是一幅非常凄慘的景象：可憐的小姑娘！
The snow-flakes fell on her long, fair hair, which curled in such pretty ringlets over her shoulders； but she thought not of her own beauty, or of the cold. Lights were glimmering through every window, and the savoir of roast goose reached her from several houses； it was New Year's eve, and it was of this that she thought.

雪花落在她那金黃色的頭發上——長長的卷發披散在肩上，看起來十分美麗，可她想不到自己的漂亮。從每扇窗子透出的亮光和飄出的烤鵝肉香味，使她想起的只是今天是除夕之夜

In a corner formed by two houses, one of which projected beyond the other. She sat down, drawing her little feet close under her, but in vain, she could not warm them. She dared not go home, she had sold no matches, earned not a single penny, and perhaps her father would beat her， besides her home was almost as cold as the street， it was an attic； and although the larger of the many chinks in the roof were stopped up with straw and rags. the wind and snow often penetrated through. Her hands were nearly dead with cold； one little match from her bundle would warm them. Perhaps, if she dared light it, she drew one out, and struck it against the wall, bravo! it was a bright, warm flame, and she held her hands over it. It was quite an illumination for that poor little girl； nay,1 call it rather a magic taper, for it seemed to her as though she was sitting before a large iron-stove with brass ornaments, so beautifully blazed the fire within! The child stretched out her feet to warm them also； alas, in an instant the flame had died away, the stove vanished, the little girl sat cold and comfortless, with the burnt match in her hand.

街邊一前一後坐落著兩座房子，形成一個小牆角，她蹲在牆角里，把一雙小腳卷縮到身下坐了下來，可是沒有用，她還是不覺得暖和。她不敢回家，因為她還沒有賣掉一根火柴，沒有掙到一個銅板，她的父親也許會因此打她，況且她家幾乎和大街上一樣冷。那是一間閣樓，雖然屋頂上幾個較大的裂口用草和破布堵住了，可風和雪還是不時地灌進來，她那雙小手差不多凍僵了。她想，只要她敢抽出一根火柴，在牆上擦燃，就可以暖手，終於她抽出了一根。哧！火柴燃起來了，冒出了火苗。當她雙手覆在上面時，它變成了一朵光明、溫暖的火焰，象一根奇妙的小蠟燭。小姑娘覺得自己象坐在一個大火爐旁邊一樣，鐵爐鑲有錚亮的黃銅花邊和底座。火燒得多麼旺，多麼好啊！小姑娘剛剛伸出她的一雙腳，打算暖一下的時候，哎呀！這是怎麼樣一回事兒？火焰忽然熄滅了！火爐也不見了。她坐在那兒，手裡捏著那燒過的火柴，又回到了寒冷和孤單之中。

A second match was struck against the wall； it kindles and blazed, and wherever its light fell the wall became transparent as a veil. The little girl could see into the room within. She saw the table spread with a snow-white damask cloth, whereon were ranged shining china-dishes； the roast goose stuffed with apples and dried plums stood at one end, smoking hot, and which was pleasantest of all to see；the goose, with knife and fork still in her breast, jumped down from the dish, and waddled along the floor right up to the poor child. The match was burnt out, and only the thick, hard wall was beside her.

她又擦著一根火柴，火柴燃起來了，發出了明亮的光。牆上那塊被火光照著的地方，忽然變得透明，象一塊薄紗。小女孩可以看到房間的東西，桌上鋪著雪白的檯布，上面放著精緻的英文選讀瓷碟，還有填滿梅子和蘋果、冒著熱氣、香噴噴的烤鵝。最美妙的是看見了——這只背上插著刀叉的鵝從盤里跳了出來，搖搖擺擺地在地板上走著，一直向這個可憐的小姑娘走來。就在這時，火柴熄滅了，留在她面前的，只是一堵又厚又冷的牆。

1、Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for themselves. However, more often than not, once you arrive " there" you will still feel dissatisfied, and move your " there" vision to yet another point in the future. By always chasing after another "there," you are never really appreciating what you already have right "here." It is important for human beings to keep soberminded about the age-old drive to look beyond the place where you now stand. On one hand, your life is enhanced by your dreams and aspirations. On the other hand, these drives can pull you farther and farther from your enjoyment of your life right now. By learning the lessons of gratitude and abundance, you can bring yourself closer to fulfilling the challenge of living in the present.
許多人都相信，一旦他們達到了自己所設定的某個特定目標，他們就會開心、快樂。然而事實往往是，當你到達彼岸時，你還是不知足、不滿意，而且又有了新的彼岸--新的幻想和憧憬。由於你總是疲於追逐一個又一個的彼岸，你從未真正欣賞、珍惜你已經擁有的一切。不安於現狀的慾望人皆有之，由來已久，但重要的是要對它保持清醒的頭腦。一方面，你的生活因為夢想和渴望而更加精彩。另一方面，這些慾望又使你越來越不懂得珍惜和享受現在擁有的生活。假如你能懂得感恩，學會知足，你就接近實現生活在現實中提出的要求。
2、Alan and Linda always dreamed of living "the good life." Both from poor working-class families, they married young and set out to fulfill their mutual goal of becoming wealthy. They both worked very hard for years, amassing a small fortune, so they could move from their two-bedroom home to a palatial seven-bedroom home in the most upscale neighborhood. They focused their energies on accumulating all the things they believed signified abundance: membership in the local exclusive country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society friends. No matter how much they accumulated, however, it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to erase the deep fear of scarcity both had acquired in childhood. They needed to learn the lesson of abundance. Then the stock market crashed in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money. A bizarre but costly lawsuit depleted another huge portion of their savings. One thing led to another, and they found themselves in a financial disaster. Assets needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership, the cars, and the house. It took several years and much hard work for Alan and Linda to land on their feet, and though they now live a life far from extravagant, they have taken stock of their lives and feel quite blessed. Only now, as they assess what they have left -- a solid, loving marriage, their health, a dependable income, and good friends -- do they realize that true abundance comes not from amassing, but rather from appreciating.
艾倫和琳達都來自貧苦的工人家庭，都一直夢想著過上"好日子"。他們早早地成了家，然後就開始為他們共同的致富目標奮斗。他們拚命工作了好幾年，終於積攢了一筆錢，從兩居室搬到了一套坐落在最高檔街區的富麗堂皇的七居室大房子。此後，他們費盡心思去積聚那些他們認為是代表富足的東西：當地惟一的一家鄉村俱樂部的會員資格、豪華汽車、名牌服裝，以及上流社會的朋友。但是，不論他們積聚了多少，似乎永遠難以滿足。他們倆誰都無法消除小時侯對貧窮的刻骨銘心的恐懼。其實，他們就需要學會知足常樂這一課。1987年，股市遭受重創，艾倫和琳達損失慘重。禍不單行，一場莫名其妙的昂貴的官司又耗盡了他們的一大筆積蓄，這一切使他們陷入了經濟困境。他們不得不變賣家產，最後他們丟掉了鄉村俱樂部的會員資格，失去了汽車和房子。艾倫和琳達努力奮鬥了好幾年才從困境中走出來。現在他們的生活毫不奢華，但是他們是自己生活的主宰，幸福而又知足。只有在這時，他們才掂量著那些尚未失去的東西，如穩固相愛的婚姻、健康的身體、可靠的收入、真正的朋友等等，他們終於認識到，真正的富足不是來自財富的積聚，而是來自對所擁有的一切的珍視
3、Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反地，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由於世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數日就將使人落後。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們人格的慾望。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業。

【一】
We're Just Beginning

一切剛開始

"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…」

「我們正在讀一本書的第一章第一行，這本書的頁數是無限的……」

I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.

我不知道是誰寫的，可我很喜歡這句話，它提醒我們未來是由自己創造的。我們可以把神秘、不可知的未來塑造成我們想像中的任何模樣，猶如雕刻家將未成形的石頭刻成雕像。

We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.

我們每個人都像是農夫。灑下良種將有豐收，播下劣種或生滿野草便將毀去收成。沒有耕耘則會一無所獲。

I want the future to be better than the past. I don't want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.

我希望未來比過去更加美好，希望未來不會沾染歷史的錯誤與過失。我們都應舉目向前，因我們的餘生要用未來書寫。

The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

往昔已逝，靜如止水；我們無法再作改變。而前方的未來正生機勃勃；我們所做的每一件事都將會影響著它。只要我們認識到這些，無論是在家中還是在工作上，每天我們的面前都會展現出新的天地。在人類致力開拓的每一片領域上，我們正站在進步的起跑點。

【二】生命掌握在自己手中
Consider… YOU！In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion…

試想一下……你！一個空前絕後的你，不論是以往還是將來都不會有一個跟你一模一樣的人。你在歷史上和宇宙中都是獨一無二的。哇！想想吧，你是萬里挑一、億里挑一、兆里挑一的。

You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!!!

在無窮無盡的宇宙中，你是舉世無雙的！！！

You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become 「beautiful」 just by virtue of the aging process.

你是了不起的！你是卓越的！沒錯，就是你。你已經是了不起的，是卓越的，你還可以更卓越更了不起。美麗的年輕人是大自然的奇想，而美麗的老人卻是藝術的傑作。但你不會因為年齡的漸長就自然而然地變得「美麗」。

Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.

真正的美麗源於生命里的學習、成長和熱愛。這就是生命的藝術。你可以只聽天由命, 慢慢地學，有時候或許會很痛苦。又或許你可以選擇加速自己的成長，故意地揮霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描繪自己未來的藝術家。

Paint a Masterpiece.

畫出一幅傑作吧！

God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.

上帝給了鳥兒食物，但他沒有將食物扔到它們的巢里。不管你想要去哪裡，不管你想要做什麼，真正做決定的還是你自己。

【三】Hour in the Sun/陽光下的時光
「…I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days.」----- Henry David Thoreau.

「……我雖然不富甲天下，卻擁有無數個艷陽天和夏日。」----亨利·大衛·梭羅

When Thoreau wrote that line, he was thinking of the Walden. Pond he knew as a boy.

寫這句話時，梭羅想起孩提時代的瓦爾登湖。

Woodchoppers and the Iron Horse had not yet greatly damaged the beauty of its setting. A boy could go to the pond and lie on his back against the seat of a boat, lazily drifting from shore to shore while the loons dived and the swallows dipped around him. Thoreau loved to recall such sunny hours and summer days 「when idleness was the most attractive and proctive business.」

當時伐木者和火車尚未嚴重破壞湖畔的美麗景緻。小男孩可以走向湖中，仰卧小舟。自一岸緩緩漂向另一岸，周遭有鳥兒戲水，燕子翻飛。梭羅喜歡回憶這樣的艷陽天和夏日，「慵懶是最迷人也是最具生產力的事情！」

I too was a boy in love with a pond, rich in sunny hours and summer days. Sun and summer are still what they always were, but the boy and the pond changed. The boy, who is now a man, no longer find much time for idle drifting. The pond has been annexed by a great city. The swamps where herons once hunted are now drained and filled with houses. The bay where water lilies quietly floated is now a harbor for motor boats. In short, everything that the boy loved no longer exists----except in the man's memory of it.

我也曾經是熱愛湖塘的小男孩，擁有無數個艷陽天與夏日。如今陽光、夏日依舊，男孩和湖塘卻已改變。那男孩已長大成人，不再有那麼多時間泛舟湖上。而湖塘也為大城市所並。曾有蒼鷺覓食的沼澤，如今已枯竭殆盡，上面蓋滿了房舍。睡蓮靜靜漂浮的湖灣。現在成了汽艇的避風港。總之，男孩所愛的一切已不復存在----只留在人們的回憶中。

Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.

有些人堅持認為只有今日和明日才是重要的，可是如果真的照此生活，我們將是何其可憐！許多今日我們做的事徒勞不足取的，很快就會被忘記。許多我們期待明天將要做的事卻從來沒有發生過。

The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives.

過去是一所銀行。我們將最可貴的財產---記憶珍藏其中。記憶賜予我們生命的意義和深度。

Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days, because days enshrined in memory are never lost. Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quite hour in the sun.

真正珍惜過去的人，不會悲嘆舊日美好時光的逝去。因為藏於記憶中的時光永不流失。死亡本身無法止住一個記憶中的聲音，或擦除一個記憶中的微笑。對現已長大成人的那個男孩來說，那兒將有一個湖塘不會因時間和潮汐而改變，可以讓他繼續在陽光下享受安靜時光。

【四】On Motes and Beams 微塵與棟梁
It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others. I suppose the reason is that we know all the circumstances that have occasioned them and so manage to excuse in ourselves what we cannot excuse in others. We turn our attention away from our own defects, and when we are forced by untoward events to consider them, find it easy to condone them. For all I know we are right to do this; they are part of us and we must accept the good and bad in ourselves together.

But when we come to judge others, it is not by ourselves as we really are that we judge them, but by an image that we have fomp3ed of ourselves fro which we have left out everything that offends our vanity or would discredit us in the eyes of the world. To take a trivial instance: how scornful we are when we catch someone out telling a lie; but who can say that he has never told not one, but a hundred?

There is not much to choose between men. They are all a hotchpotch of greatness and littleness, of virtue and vice, of nobility and baseness. Some have more strength of character, or more opportunity, and so in one direction or another give their instincts freer play, but potentially they are the same. For my part, I do not think I am any better or any worse than most people, but I know that if I set down every action in my life and every thought that has crossed my mind, the world would consider me a monster of depravity. The knowledge that these reveries are common to all men should inspire one with tolerance to oneself as well as to others. It is well also if they enable us to look upon our fellows, even the most eminent and respectable, with humor, and if they lead us to take ourselves not too seriously.

微塵與棟梁

讓人奇怪的是，和別人的過錯比起來，我們自身的過錯往往不是那樣的可惡。我想，其原因應該是我們知曉一切導致自己犯錯的情況，因此能夠設法諒解自己的錯誤，而別人的錯誤卻不能諒解。我們對自己的缺點不甚關注，即便是深陷困境而不得不正視它們的時候，我們也會很容易就寬恕自己。據我所知，我們這樣做是正確的。缺點是我們自身的一部分，我們必須接納自己的好和壞。

但是當我們評判別人的時候，情況就不同了。我們不是通過真實的自我來評判別人，而是用一種自我形象來評判，這種自我形象完全摒棄了在任何世人眼中會傷害到自己的虛榮或者體面的東西。舉一個小例子來說：當覺察到別人說謊時，我們是多麼地蔑視他啊！但是，誰能夠說自從未說過謊？可能還不止一百次呢。

人和人之間沒什麼大的差別。他們皆是偉大與渺小，善良與邪惡，高尚與低俗的混合體。有的人性格比較堅毅，機會也比較多，因而達個或那個方面，能夠更自由地發揮自己的稟賦，但是人類的潛能卻都是相同的。至於我自己，我認為自己並不比大多數人更好或者更差，但是我知道，假如我記下我生命中每一次舉動和每一個掠過我腦海的想法的話，世界就會將我視為一個邪惡的怪物。每個人都會有這樣的怪念頭，這樣的認識應當能夠啟發我們寬容自己，也寬容他人。同時，假如因此我們得以用幽默的態度看待他人，即使是天下最優秀最令人尊敬的人，而且假如我們也因此不把自己看得過於重要，那是很有裨益的。

⑼ 英語美文帶翻譯

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy less.
我們這個時代在歷史上的說法就是我們擁有更高的建築，但是有更暴的脾氣；我們擁有更寬闊的高速公路，卻有更狹隘的觀點；我們花費得更多，擁有得卻更少；我們購買得更多卻享受得更少。
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
我們的房子越來越大，家庭卻越來越小；便利越來越多，時間卻越來越少；學位越來越多，感覺卻越來越少；知識越來越多，觀點卻越來越少；專家越來越多，問題也越來越多；葯物越來越多，健康卻越來越少。
We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
我們喝得太多，花錢大手大腳，笑得太少，開車太快，易怒，熬夜，賴床，書讀得越來越少，電視看得越來越多，卻很少向上帝祈禱。
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We』ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we』ve added years to life, not life to years.
我們常常誇誇其談，卻很少付出愛心，且常常心中充滿了仇恨。我們學會了如何謀生，而不知如何生活。我們延長了生命的期限，而不是生活的期限。
We』ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We』ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; we』ve done larger things, but not better things.
我們登上了月球，並成功返回，卻不能穿過街道去拜訪新鄰居。我們已經征服了太空，卻征服不了自己的內心；我們的事業越做越大，但質量卻沒有提高。
We』ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we』ve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less.
我們清潔了空氣，卻污染了靈魂；我們分離了原子，卻無法驅除我們的偏見；我們寫得更多，學到的卻更少；我們的計劃更多，完成的卻更少。
We』ve learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but, lower morals.
我們學會了奔跑，卻忘記了如何等待；我們的收入越來越高，道德水平卻越來越低。
We build more computers to hold more information to proce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we』ve become long on quantity, but short on quality.
我們製造了更多的計算機來存儲更多的信息，製造了最多的副本，卻減少了交流；我們開始渴望數量，但忽視了質量。
These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but more broken homes.
這個時代有雙收入，但也有了更高的離婚率；有更華麗的房屋，卻有更多破碎的家庭。
These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading...?
這個時代有了快速旅遊，免洗尿布，卻拋棄了道德、一夜情、超重的身體，以及可以從快樂中走向靜止和自殺的葯物。我們將走向何方……？
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
如果我們明天就死掉，我們為之工作的公司可能會在一天內很輕易地找人代替我們的位置。但是當我們離開家人後，他們的餘生將會在失落中度過。
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.
考慮一下吧，我們將自己的時間更多地投入到工作中，而放棄與家人在一起的時光，實在並非明智之舉。
