英语小达人 429 In Life, We Are Happiest When...(2)（在线收听） |
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. 第二天早上，吃早饭的时候，他们决定谈谈彼此的缺点。 I'll start, offered the wife. She took out her list. 我先开始吧。妻子说。她拿出她的单子，
It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages. 上面列举了很多条，事实上，足足写满了三页。
In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, 当她开始念的时候，
she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes. 她注意到丈夫眼里含着泪花。
What's wrong? she asked. Nothing, the husband replied, keep reading your list. 怎么啦?她问。没什么，丈夫答道，继续念吧。
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. 妻子又接着念。整整三页都念完之后
She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it. 她把单子整齐地放在桌上，两手交叉放在上面。
Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists, she said happily. 现在该你念了，然后我们谈谈所列举的缺点。她高兴地说。
Quietly the husband stated, I don't have anything on my list. 丈夫平静地说：我什么也没写，
I think that you are perfect the way that you are. 我觉得像你这样就很完美了，
I don't want you to change anything for me. 我不想让你为我改变什么。
You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you. 你很可爱迷人，我不想让你改变。
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept. 妻子被丈夫的诚实和对她深深的爱和接纳感动了，她转过头去哭起来。
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. 生命中我们有很多的失望、沮丧和烦恼，
We don't really have to go looking for them. 我们根本不需要寻找。
We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. 我们美妙的世界充满了美丽、光明、希望。
Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, 但是，当我们放眼四周时，为什么浪费时间寻找不快、失望和烦恼，
and see the wondrous things before us? 而看不到我们面前的美好事物呢？ |
