幸福是一種態(tài)度雙語美文
The 92-year-old,petite,well-poised and proud lady,who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock,with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied,even though she was legally blind,moved to a nursing home today.
這位92歲高齡、個子小巧、自信而又驕傲的老太太，每天早晨8點就穿戴整齊了。她的頭發(fā)時髦的護(hù)在帽子里，妝也化得恰倒好處，即使她今天合情合理地失明、要搬進(jìn)一家養(yǎng)老院也不例外。
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away,making the move necessary.
一同走過70個歲月的`丈夫新近去世，搬到養(yǎng)老院是必然之舉。
After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home,she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.As she maneuvered her walker to elevator I provided a visual description of her tiny room.
在養(yǎng)老院的走廊上等了半天之后，她被告之房間已準(zhǔn)備就緒，她親切地笑了。當(dāng)她推起助步車進(jìn)入電梯時，我對她的小房間進(jìn)行了一番視覺描述。
“I love it,”she started with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
“我真喜歡這房間，”她熱情洋溢的說，好象一個8歲的孩子剛剛得到了一只小狗一樣。
“Mrs.Jones, you haven’t seen the room…just wait.”
“瓊斯夫人，你還沒有看到你的房間呢……還是不慌下結(jié)論。”
“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,”she replied.“Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged…it’s how I arrange my mind.I already decided to love it,It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.I have a choice;I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work or get out of bed be thankful for the ones that do.Each day is a gift,and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away…just for this time in my life.”
“那和我喜不喜歡這房間沒關(guān)系，”她回答說。“幸福是你事先就決定了的。我喜不喜歡房子并不取決于家具怎么擺放……而是取決于我怎么想。我已決定要喜歡它……就像每天早晨一睜開眼所作的某個決定一樣。我可以作出選擇：躺在床上，抱怨身體不便帶來的困難可以打發(fā)一天；或者翻身起床感激某些部位還能活動自如，也可以度過一天。每一天都是一件禮物，只要睜開眼，我就會全神貫注于嶄新的一天和收藏多年的幸福記憶……這一切僅為了今生此刻.”
