【中英文稿】一分鐘英文演講:Long-lasting happiness
You must feel the fear and do it anyway.?
你必須感覺到恐懼,無論如何都要去做。
?
Bravery is not the absence of fear. Bravery is feeling the fear, the doubt, the insecurity, and deciding that something else is more important.?
勇敢不是沒有恐懼。勇敢就是感受到恐懼、懷疑、不安,并依然決定其他事情更重要。
?
If we identify with our moment-to-moment emotional states and sensitivities, our happiness will surge and crash like a deregulated Wall Street derivatives orgy. For those of you who don’t know anything about Wall Street: that’s really bad. We want sturdy, resilient happiness, not derivatives orgies.?
一旦我們當下的情緒狀態(tài)和敏感度產生認同,我們的幸福感就會迅速激增和衰退,就像放松管制后狂熱的華爾街金融衍生品一樣暴漲暴跌。這個比喻對于那些對華爾街一無所知的人來說:那真的很糟糕。我們想要的是堅實的、有彈性的幸福,而不是像狂熱的金融衍生品。?
?
True, long-lasting, kid-tested-and-mother-approved happiness, is not derived from our immediate emotional states — being constantly greedy is not only impossible but it would be unbearably annoying, but rather is derived from the deeper values we define for ourselves.?
真正的、持久的、經過孩子考驗和母親認可的幸福,并不是來自于我們即時的情緒狀態(tài)—因為不斷地貪婪不僅不可能,而且會讓人無法忍受,這樣的幸福是來自于我們?yōu)樽约憾x的更深層次的價值觀。
?
Our ultimate life satisfaction is not defined by what we do and what happens to us, but why we do what we do and why it happens to us.?
我們最終的生活滿意度并不是由我們所做的和發(fā)生在我們身上的事情來定義的,而是取決于我們?yōu)槭裁炊鲆约盀槭裁磿l(fā)生在我們身上。
