This too, shall pass.
When things are bad, remember:
It won’t always be this way. Take one day at a time.
When things are good, remember:
It won’t always be this way. Enjoy every great moment.
這也是會過去的。
當(dāng)事情很糟的時候，記?。?/span>
事情總不會這樣，一天過好一天就可以。
當(dāng)事情很好的時候，記?。?/span>
事情總不會這樣。好好享受每一個很棒的時刻。
距離上次的節(jié)目已經(jīng)有一個禮拜，這個禮拜還是有持續(xù)做我的跟Lily說英語去旅行的直播哦，所有的直播視頻都可以在我的FB、YT還有喜馬拉雅“學(xué)英語環(huán)游世界”可以收看得到。你也可以關(guān)注Podcast“跟Lily一起說英語去旅行”收聽聲音的版本。
二月一直沒有想出比較好的Podcast主題來，所以索性就放了一個假期，接下來我們這一整個月會來討論人生的目的IKIGAI，也是我在許多工作坊會做的一個找出自己人生目的的練習(xí)，但是今天我特別想要分享在我們云雀實驗室里面，我們做的每日冥想特別是第19天有一個寓言的任務(wù)，我就一遍英文、一遍中文念給大家。最后我也會和大家分享一個我最近發(fā)生的和錢還有親人有關(guān)的故事。
“ This Too Shall Pass. “
There was a king and he once said to the court sages - I have a ring with one of the finest diamonds in the world and I want to hide a message under the stone that can be useful in a situation of extreme despair. I will give this ring to my heirs and I want it to serve faithfully. Think of what kind of message will be there. It must be very short to fit in the ring.
“ This Too Shall Pass. “
有一個國王向他宮中的智者要求說：“我為我自己做了一個非常漂亮的戒指，我是用最好的鉆石做的，我想要在這個戒指里面藏著一個訊息，它可以在我極度絕望的時候幫助我。它必須非常小，這樣它才可以被藏在那個戒指的鉆石底下。”
The sages knew how to write treatises, but did not express themselves in one short sentence. They thought and thought, but did not come up with anything.
他們都是智者，他們都是偉大的學(xué)者，他們可以寫出偉大的論文，但是要給一個非常簡短的訊息，讓它可以在極度絕望的時候幫助國王……他們左思右想，參考了很多書，但還是想不出來。
The king complained about the failure of his venture to a faithful old servant who raised him from infancy and was part of the family. And the old man said to him:
“I’m not a sage, I’m not educated, but I know such a message. For many years spent in the palace, I met a lot of people. And once I served a visiting mystic whom your father invited. And he gave me this message. I ask that you don’t read it now. Save it under the stone and open it only when there’s no way out at all. The king listened to the old servant.
國王有一個年老的仆人，他幾乎就像他的父親──他以前是他父親的仆人。國王的母親早死，因此由這個仆人來照顧他，所以他并沒有像仆人一樣地被對待，國王對他非常尊敬。那個老年人說：“我不是一個智者，我也不是一個學(xué)者，我沒有那么博學(xué)多聞 ，但是我知道那個訊息──因為就只有一個訊息。這些人無法將它給你；它只能由一個神秘家、一個已經(jīng)達(dá)成他自己的人給你。”
“我在宮中已經(jīng)度過了漫長的歲月，各色各樣的人我都看過。有一次，一個神秘家，他是你父親的貴賓，剛好由我服侍他。當(dāng)他要離開的時候，為了要感謝我對他的服務(wù)，他給了我這個訊息。”他將它寫在一張小小的紙上，折疊起來，告訴國王說：“不要讀它，只要將它藏在戒指里。唯有當(dāng)每一件事都失敗，已經(jīng)無路可走時，才可以將它打開。”
After some time, the enemies attacked the country and the king lost the war. He fled on his horse and his enemies pursued him. He was alone, his enemies were many. He rode to the end of the road. There was a huge deep cliff before him, if he fell there, it is the end. He could not go back, as the enemies were approaching. He already heard the clatter of their horses' hooves. He had no way out. He was in complete despair.
時間很快地就來到了，國家受到了侵略，國王失去了他的王國。為了要保存性命，他騎著他自己的馬逃走，敵人的馬在后面追趕。他只有一個人，而他們?nèi)撕芏?。他來到了一個無路可走的地方，一個死的盡頭，再過去就是懸崖和深谷，一掉下去就完了。他不能回頭，因為后面有敵人在追趕，他可以聽到他們的馬蹄聲，他也無法再向前走，而且也沒有其他的路……
And then he remembered the ring. He opened it and found an inscription: “This too shall pass”突然間他想起了那個戒指。他將它打開，把里面的紙拿出來，里面有一個很小但是非常有價值的訊息，在它上面寫著：“這也是會過去的。”
After reading the message, he felt that everything was quiet. Apparently the pursuers got lost and proceeded in the wrong direction. Horses were no longer heard.
當(dāng)他在讀這句話的時候，他突然變得很寧靜：“這也是會過去的。”事情真的就這樣經(jīng)過了。每一件事都會經(jīng)過，在這個世界上沒有一件事會永遠(yuǎn)停留。那些追趕他的敵人一定是在森林里迷路了，一定是走錯路了，馬蹄聲漸漸、漸漸地聽不到了。
The king was filled with gratitude to the servant and the unknown mystic. The words were powerful. He closed the ring. And set out on the road. He gathered his army and returned his state. On the day when he returned to the palace, they arranged a magnificent meeting, a feast for the whole world - the people loved their king. The king was happy and proud. The old servant came up to him and said softly: “Even in this moment, look at the message again.”
國王非常感激那個仆人，以及那個未知的神秘家。那些話語被證明是奇跡般的。他將那張紙折疊起來，放進(jìn)戒指里，再度糾集他的軍隊，收復(fù)他的王國。當(dāng)他以勝利的姿態(tài)進(jìn)入首都，那里到處都在慶祝，有音樂，也有跳舞，他對自己感到非常驕傲。那個老年人走到他馬車的旁邊說：“這個時候也要看一下那個訊息。”
The King said, “Now I am a winner, people are celebrating my return, I'm not in despair, not in a hopeless situation."
“Listen to this old servant,” the servant answered. “The message works not only in moments when everything is bad, but also in moments of victory.”
國王說：“你是什么意思？現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)勝利了，人們都在慶祝，我并不是處于絕望之中，我并不是陷入絕境。”那個老年人說：“聽著，這是那個圣人告訴我的：這個訊息不只是在絕望的時候可以用，在很快樂的時候也可以用。它不只是在你被打敗的時候可以用，它在你勝利的時候也可以用──不只是當(dāng)你在最后的時候可以用，當(dāng)你在第一的時候也可以用。”
The king opened the ring and read:
"This too shall pass."
And again he felt a silence fall over him, although he was in the midst of a noisy dancing crowd. His pride dissolved. He understood the message. He was a wise man.
國王將那個戒指打開，讀了里面的訊息：“這也是會過去的。”突然間，同樣的寧靜、同樣的和平降臨到他身上──就在群眾當(dāng)中，就在大家都高高興興地在慶祝和跳舞當(dāng)中……那個驕傲不見了，那個自我不見了。每一件事都會經(jīng)過。
And then the old man said to the king; “Do you remember everything that happened to you? Nothing and no feeling is permanent. As night changes day, so moments of joy and despair replace each other. Accept them as the nature of things, as part of life”
他叫他的老仆人坐上他的馬車，他問說：“其他還有什么嗎？每一件事都會過去……你的訊息真的非常有幫助。”
那個老年人說：“你記得你經(jīng)歷過的一切嗎？沒有什么事、沒有什么感受是永恒的。夜晚會轉(zhuǎn)為白天，喜悅和絕望的時刻也會互換。接受這就是自然，就是人生的一部分。”
Look at the events in your life (both good and not so good) while considering the words of the parable "This too shall pass.”
當(dāng)你檢視人生中的遭遇（有好有壞）時，請想著寓言里的智慧“這也會過去”。
