(双语美文)珍惜生命 Cherishing Life

Yuki1230

生命对于一切有生命的人和动物来说,其意义是极其重要的,它不仅能体现它自身的价值,还能帮助体现和它相关联事物的价值。

To all the living humans and animals, their lives are of vital significance，which can not only embody their own values, but also help other relevant things show the values.

作为人更应当珍惜生命,不能因为我们曾经坎坷,曾经痛苦就厌眷生命。对生命的不珍惜,是种逃避,是不负责任的。

Humans, we should cherish our lives more and shouldn’t disgust them owing to the frustrations and hardships we suffered. Not thinking highly of our lives is an evasive and irresponsible behavior.

生命是个美丽的词,但它的美丽被琐碎的日常生活掩盖住了。我们活着,可是我们并不是时时对生命有所体验的。痛苦和欢乐是生命的自我享受。

Life is a beautiful word, but its beauty is often covered up by daily trivia. We are alive, but we don’t get experience from our lives every moment. Pain and happiness are just enjoying the life itself.

如果生命像一条平静的河流没有声响,没有浪花,甚至连波纹也没见,无声无息,你会厌倦这平静的河流。它吸收了任何感觉，突然遇到阻碍,狂风大作,抛起万丈浪,这时你会觉得它还活着。

If life is like a peaceful river, no any sounds, no any sprays, even no any ripples, so silent, you will be tired of this quiet river. Then it has absorbed all the senses, a gale is blowing and huge waves are surging up when it is blocked suddenly, at this moment, you can perceive the existence of its life.

生命中一切痛苦和坎坷,那都是我们的财富,那可以让我们重新认识生活,调整生活的态度。

All the torments and frustrations in our lives are our treasures, which can make us rethink of life and adjust the attitude to it.

孟子曰:天将降大任于斯人也,必先苦其心志,劳其筋骨,饿其体肤,空乏其身,行拂乱其所为,所以动心忍性,增益其所不能。

Mencius said, ‘So, the Lord intends to entrust a grand mission to this person, first, it will torture his heart and mind, exhaust his bones and muscles, starve his body and make him poverty-stricken, disturb all his activities with everything in great confusion, in this way, to stimulate his soul and control his temperament, improve his competence to accomplish great tasks which was beyond his ability before.’

生命是很简单的事实,每时每刻都在发生；死亡是一个很枯燥的事实，同样是每时每刻都在发生，只有诗人可以在这两者之间回旋，赋予整个世间以意义。

Life is a very simple fact which occurs every minute,death is a very uninteresting fact which happens every minute also, only poets can hover in between them and bestow significances to the whole world.  

我们谁都不是这世界的客人,我们是世界的主人。我们珍惜生命是对父母的崇敬,是他们生命力的延续。我们珍惜生命,是对配偶的尊重,是他生活的另一半。我们珍惜生命是对子女的负责,是他们能知道什么叫亲情和爱的唯一途径。

Anyone of us isn’t the guest but the owner of this world. Cherishing our lives is revering our parents and continuing their lives, is respecting our spouses and being another half of their lives, is being responsible for our children and teaching them what is the only way of affection and love.

我们在对待一切事情都要看得开。想得透,想得透使人不至肤浅,想得开使人不至狭隘,但人们往往能做的深刻却难以做到豁达,只有做到豁达才是高深的极至,对生命有新的认识,才能不至于厌世。

We should be philosophical about and think through everything. Being philosophical, we shall not be superficial, and being understanding, we shall not be parochial, then people can often be profound but not open-minded, only being open-minded can you reach to the upmost profundity and have new perception of life without any pessimistic view of the world.

对生活充满信心吧！未来属于你,属于我,属于一切热爱生活的人们!

Let us be filled with confidence in our life! The future belongs to you and me and all the people who love their lives!
