Talking Your Fun Every Day as You Do Your Work用快樂裝點生活Ten things are necessary for happiness in this life. The first being a good digestion, and the other ninemoney; so at least it is said by our modern philosophers. Yet the author of A Gentle Life speaks more truly in saying that the Divine creation includes thousands of superfluous joys which are totally unnecessary to the bare support of life.要滿足幸福生活，就必須具備十個條件。第一是要有良好的消化能力，其他九個無一例外都是金錢。最起碼當代的哲學(xué)家都是這樣說的。不過，溫柔的生活的作者卻有著更為現(xiàn)實的看法，他說這種神圣產(chǎn)物中蘊含這不計其數(shù)的多余快樂，如果一個人對生活毫無所求的話，這些歡樂是根本沒有必要的。He alone is the happy man who has learned to extract happinessnot from ideal conditions, but from the actual ones about him. The man who has mastered secret will not wait for ideal surroundings; he will not wait until next year, next decade, until he gets rich, until he can travel abroad, until he can afford to surround himself with works of the great masters; but he will make the most out of life today, where he is.他自己便是一個享受快樂的人，他知道如何尋覓快樂不是來源于理想狀態(tài)的幻想，二十來源于身邊的試劑生活。一個人若是領(lǐng)悟了這個秘密，就不會期待不切實際的幻境，不會等待下一年、下一個十年的到來，不會等到自己成為富人，不會等到自己能夠去國外旅行，也不會默默地等待自己擁有一切，而是盡情地享受今天的生活，掌控自己。Paradise is here or nowhere, you must take your joy with you or you will never find it.每個角落都是天堂，但你的心中一定要帶著歡樂，否則你講永遠錯過它。It is after business hours, not in them, that men break down. Men must, like Philip Amour, turn the key on business when they leave it, and at once unlock the doors of some wholesome recreation. Dr. Lyman Beecher used to divert himself with a violin. He had a regular system of what he called “unwinding”, thus relieving the great strain put upon him.人們應(yīng)該在工作時間之后放松精神，而不是在工作時間之內(nèi)。人們應(yīng)該以菲利普阿穆爾為榜樣，在完成工作時，就丟開鑰匙，并馬上打開一扇有益于健康的娛樂大門。萊曼比徹博士經(jīng)常利用一把小提琴來調(diào)節(jié)自己的心情。他有一套不變的、并被他成為“解縛”的系統(tǒng)，以此來消除自己的緊張感?！癆 man,” says Dr. Johnson, “should spend part of his time with the laughers.”約翰遜博士建議：“一個人應(yīng)當多花一些時間來歡笑?！盚umor was Lincolns life-preserver, as it has been of thousands of others, “if it were not for this,” he used to say, “I should die.” His jests and quaint stories lighted the gloom of dark hours of national peril.通普通人一樣，幽默是林肯的快樂秘訣。他常掛在嘴邊的一句話便是：“如果不是因為這樣，我可能早就活不下去了?！闭撬男υ捄托缕婀适?，為處于低潮時期的國家?guī)硪黄饷??！癗ext to virtue,” said Agnes Strickland, “the fun in this world is what we can least spare.”“除了美德，”艾格尼絲斯特里克蘭說，“歡笑也是這個世界上我們能夠分享的最少的東西之一?！薄癐 have fun from morning till night,”said the editor Charles A. Dana to a friend who was growing prematurely old. “do you read novels, and play billiards, and walk a great deal?”“我整天都很快樂，”編輯查爾斯達納問一個未老先衰的朋友，“你平時看小說、打臺球、散步嗎？”Gladstone early formed a habit of looking on the bright side of things, and never lost a moments sleep by worrying about public business.格萊斯頓很早就養(yǎng)成了樂觀看待事物的習(xí)慣，他從未因擔(dān)心公務(wù)而失眠過。There are many out-of-door sports, and the very presence of nature is to many a great joy. How true it is that, if we are cheerful and contented, all nature smiles with usthe air seems more balmy, the sky more clear, the earth has a brighter green, the trees have a richer foliage, the flowers are more fragrant, the birds sing more sweetly, and the sun, moon, and stars all appear more beautiful. “ It is a grand thing to liveto open the eyes in the morning and look out upon the world, to drink in the pure air and enjoy the sweet sunshine, to feel the pulse bound, and the being thrill with the consciousness of strength and power in every nerve; it is a good thing simply to be alive, and it is a good world we live in ,in spite of the abuse we are fond of giving it. ”人們可以從許多戶外運動和自然景象中獲得快樂，這是毋庸置疑的。如果我們愉快、滿足，大自然都會像我們微笑空氣似乎平平常更加清新，圍欄的天空更加清朗，大地披上更鮮綠的地毯，數(shù)目纏上更茂盛的衣服，花兒散發(fā)出更罪人的芬芳，鳥兒鳴唱得更甜美清脆，太陽、月亮和星星都越加光彩奪目。“活著的感覺真美好清晨睜開眼來，欣賞著窗外的世界，呼吸著純凈的空氣，沐浴著溫暖的陽光，感受著脈搏的跳躍，并未每一根沈經(jīng)理蘊含的力量而激動；簡單的存在就是一件美好的是，雖然我們常常給這個世界帶來傷害，但我們依然生活在一個美妙的世界里?！盪pon every side of us are to be found what one has happily calledunworked joy mines.每個人的身上都蘊藏著被我們成為“未開采的壞了寶藏”，而且這個寶藏?zé)o所不在。And he who goes “prospecting” to see what he can daily discover is a wise man, training his eye to see beauty in everything and everywhere.每天都去“采礦”，能夠有新發(fā)現(xiàn)的人才是真正的聰明：他嘗試用自己的眼睛從每個地方、每件事情中發(fā)掘美好?！癘ne ought, every day,” says Goethe, “at least to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.” And if this be good for ones self, why not try the song, the poem, the picture, and the good words, on some one else? Shall music and poetry die out of you while you are struggling for that which can never enrich the character, nor add to the souls worth? Shall a disciplined imagination fill the mind with beautiful pictures? He who has intellectual resources to fall back upon will not lack for daily recreation most wholesome歌德說：“一個人應(yīng)該每天最少挺一首歌、讀一首好詩、看一幅精美的畫，而且，如果條件允許的話，說幾句有道理的話。”如果這對一個人自身有益的話，何不試著去聽歌、讀詩、看畫，對其他人講有道理的話呢？為那些既不能拓展性格、對心靈也毫無價值的東西而努力奮斗時，音樂和詩歌便在你心中消失了嗎？循規(guī)蹈矩的想象力如何能讓你頭腦中迸發(fā)出美麗的圖畫呢？一個心智靈敏的人，每天都能找到利于深信健康的娛樂活動In the world of books, what is grand an
