我曾经七次鄙视自己的灵魂
我曾经七次鄙视自己的灵魂
1．它本可进取，却故作谦卑；
2．它空虚时，用爱欲来填充；
3．困难和容易之间，它选择容易；
4．它犯错，却借由别人来宽慰自己；
5．它自由软弱，却认为是生命的坚韧；
6．它鄙夷一张丑恶的嘴脸，却不知那是自己面具中的一副；
7．它在生活污泥中，虽不甘心，却又畏首畏尾。
Contemptible Soul:faking humility where it should beaggressive;seeking sensual pleasures when empty;slipping into the easy in faceof the difficult; self-comforting when erroneous;labeling weakness as tenacityof life in self-deceit;yielding,though unwillingly,to the muddy life.
在一回首间，才忽然发现，原来，我一生的种种努力，不过只为了周遭的人对我满意而已。为了博得他人的称许与微笑，我战战兢兢地将自己套入所有的模式所有的桎梏。走到途中才忽然发现，我只剩下一副模糊的面目，和一条不能回头的路。(席慕容《独白》)
Looking back,I realize all my efforts on the way are toplease those around me. To win their praising smiles,I,in trembling fear,chainmyself into acceptable modes of living. Now, in the midway of life,I findmyself left with vague features in a way never to be trodden backward.
1、不要让别人知道你的想法。2、当你说“不”时,你要使“不”听上去象“是”一样好听。3.让朋友低估你的优点，让敌人高估你的缺点。4、痛苦不象死亡那样无可挽回！5、永远不要恨你的敌人，因为这会影响你的判断力。6、如果你没有时间和家人在一起，你就永远无法成为真正的男人。(《教父》经典台词)
Never tell anybody outside the family what you'rethinking. // A friend should always underestimate your virtues and an enemyoverestimate your faults. // Never hate your enemies. It clouds your judgment.// A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.

做人凡事要静，静静来，静静去，静静努力，静静收获，切忌喧哗（亦舒）

爱情的根本愿望是：在陌生的人山人海中寻找一种自由的盟约。（史铁生《务虚笔记》）
The fundamental desire within love is toseek a oath of alliance for liberty in a sea of strangers.
别和小人过不去，因为他本来就过不去；别和社会过不去，因为你会过不去；别和自己过不去，因为一切都会过去；别和往事过不去，因为它已经过去；别和现实过不去，因为你还要过下去。
Don't mess with the treacherous for they mess witheveryone; don't mess with the society, or you will mess with yourself;don'tmess with yourself for all the mess will pass;don't mess with the past for whatis past is past; don't mess with reality for it's your life for real.

不是一切火焰只燃烧自己而不把别人照亮;不是一切星星仅指示黑暗而不报告曙光;不是一切歌声只掠过耳旁而不留在心上

所有的悲伤，总会留下一丝欢乐的线索。所有的遗憾，总会留下一处完美的角落。我在冰封的深海，找寻希望的缺口。却在午夜惊醒时，蓦然瞥见绝美的月光。(几米)
Sorrow leaves a trace for joy and regret carves a cornerfor perfection. I, in the depths of frozen sea, seek hope to the end of tunnel,but only to catch a glimpse of beautiful moonlight when starting awake atmidnight.
每个人的心里，有多么长的一个清单，这些清单里写着多少美好的事，可是，它们总是被推迟，被搁置，在时间的阁楼上腐烂。为什么勇气的问题总是被误以为是时间的问题，而那些沉重、抑郁的、不得已的，总是被叫做生活本身。（刘瑜）
In every heart hides a long list with so many beautifulthings to fulfill, which are then postponed, suspended, rotten in the attic oftime. What is actually a matter of courage is labelled as a matter of time butthe ponderous,the depressing,the unfulfillable as life itself.

幸福，是用来感觉的，而不是用来比较的。生活，是用来经营的，而不是用来计较的。感情，是用来维系的，而不是用来考验的。爱人，是用来疼爱的，而不是用来伤害的。金钱，是用来付出的，而不是用来衡量的。谎言，是用来击破的，而不是用来粉饰的。信任，是用来沉淀的，而不是用来挑战的。
Happiness is to be felt, not to be compared; life is tobe lived, not to be bargained; love is to tie, not to test; sweetheart is to beloved, not to be hurt; money is to pay, not to measure; lie is to be disclosed,not to gloss; trust is to deposit, not to be challenged.
