生命的美好 - 拉爾夫·馬斯頓(美音)

The Goodness of Life

by Ralph Marston

請跟英語兔我一起讀:

Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life's goodness can at times be overshadowed, it is never outweighed.

盡管有很多事讓人憂慮，但相比而言，值得感激的事要多得多。盡管生命的美好有時(shí)被蒙上陰影，但它卻永遠(yuǎn)不會被埋沒。

For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there are thousands more small, quiet acts of love, kindness and compassion. For every person who seeks to hurt, there are many, many more who devote their lives to helping and to healing.

相對于每一個(gè)無謂的破壞行為而言，有更多數(shù)以千計(jì)更為微小的且包含著愛、友善和同情的舉動在靜靜地上演著。相對于每一個(gè)企圖傷害他人的人而言，都有更多的人致力于幫助他人、治愈他人的創(chuàng)傷。 

There is goodness to life that cannot be denied.

生命的美好不能否認(rèn)。 

In the most magnificent vistas and in the smallest details, look closely, for that goodness always comes shining through.

在最為壯觀的前景和最為瑣碎的細(xì)節(jié)中，請仔細(xì)觀察，因?yàn)槊篮玫氖挛锟偸巧l(fā)著耀眼的光芒登場。 

There is no limit to the goodness of life. It grows more abundant with each new encounter. The more you experience and appreciate the goodness of life, the more there is to be lived.

生命的美好沒有界限。每一次相遇都會使這美好變得越發(fā)豐富。你經(jīng)歷得越多，越能欣賞生命的美好，生命中的美好就會變得越多。 

Even when the cold winds blow and the world seems to be covered in foggy shadows, the goodness of life lives on. Open your eyes, open your heart, and you will see that goodness is everywhere.

即使當(dāng)寒風(fēng)襲來，整個(gè)世界似乎被霧氣掩蓋之時(shí)，生命的美好仍會存在。睜開雙眼，打開心扉，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)生命的美好無處不在。 

Though the goodness of life seems at times to suffer setbacks, it always endures. For in the darkest moment it becomes vividly clear that life is a priceless treasure. And so the goodness of life is made even stronger by the very things that would oppose it.

盡管生命的美好有時(shí)似乎遭受挫折，但它總會挺過來。因?yàn)?，在最黑暗的時(shí)刻，有一點(diǎn)變得格外清楚，那就是，生命是無價(jià)的財(cái)富。因此，正是與生命的美好相對立的事物才使其越發(fā)強(qiáng)大。 

Time and time again when you feared it was gone forever you found that the goodness of life was really only a moment away. Around the next corner, inside every moment, the goodness of life is there to surprise and delight you.

無數(shù)次地，當(dāng)你擔(dān)心生命的美好已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)離之時(shí)，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)生命的美好其實(shí)只與你相隔咫尺。它就在下一個(gè)角落，存在于每個(gè)時(shí)刻之間，等著給你驚喜。 

Take a moment to let the goodness of life touch your spirit and calm your thoughts. Then, share your good fortune with another. For the goodness of life grows more and more magnificent each time it is given away.

花些時(shí)間讓生命的美好感動自己的靈魂，放松自己的思緒。然后，把你的幸運(yùn)與他人分享。因?yàn)樯拿篮脮诿看谓o予之間變得越來越壯觀。 

Though the problems constantly scream for attention and the conflicts appear to rage ever stronger, the goodness of life grows stronger still, quietly, peacefully, with more purpose and meaning than ever before.

盡管總是有問題讓你去關(guān)注，沖突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命的美好卻總是靜靜地、平和地，帶著比以往更強(qiáng)的意志和更多的價(jià)值變得更加強(qiáng)大。
