Of Beauty 论美
Irtue is like a rich stone,best plain set;and surely vitue is best,in a body that is comely,though not of delicate features;and that hath rather dignity of presence,than beauty of aspect.
美德好比宝石，它在朴素背景的衬托下反而更华丽。同样，一个打扮并不华贵却端庄严肃而有美德者是令人肃然起敬的。
Neither is it almost seen,that very beautiful persons are otherwise of great virtue;as if nature were rather busy,not to err,than in labor to produce excellency.And therefore they prove accomplished,but not of great spirit;and study rather behavior,than virtue.But this holds not always:for Augustus Caesar,Titus Vespasianus,Philip le Belle of France,Edward the Fourth of England,Alcibiades of Athens,Ismael the Sophy of Persia,were all high and great spirits;and yet the most beautiful men of their times.In beauty,that of favor,is more than that of color;and that of decent and gracious motion,more than that of favor.
外表美丽的人，未必也具有内在的美。因为造物主似乎是吝啬的，他给了此就不再予彼。所以许多容颜俊秀的人却不足为训，他们过于追求外形美丽而忽略了内心的美。但这也许不全对，因为奥古斯都·撒、菲斯帕斯、法兰西的菲力普王、英格兰的爱德华四世、雅典的阿尔西巴蒂斯、波斯的伊斯梅尔等既是大丈夫，又是美男子。就形貌而言，自然之美要胜过粉饰之美，而优雅行为之美又胜于单纯礼仪之美。
That is the best part of beauty,which a picture cannot express;no nor the first sight of the life.There is no excellent beauty,that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.A man cannot tell whether Apelles,or Albert Durer,were the more trifler;whereof the one ,would make a personage by geometrical proportions;the other,by taking the best parts out of divers faces,to make one excellent.Such personages,I think,would please nobody,but the painter that made them.
最高的美是画家说无法表现的，因为它是难于直观的。没有哪种美能极致到不存在比例上的瑕疵。曾经有两位画家——阿皮雷斯和艾伯特·丢勒滑稽地认为，可以按照几何比例，或者通过摄取不同人身上最美的特点，用画合成一张最完美的人像。其实像这样画出来的美人，恐怕只表现了画家本人的某种偏爱。
Not but I think a painter may make a better face than ever was;but he must do it by a kind of felicity(as a musician that maketh an excellent air in music),and not by rule.A man shall see faces, that if you examine them part by part,you shall find never a good;and yet altogether do well.
画家不能通过这样画出更好看的脸，(正如为曲子营造氛围的音乐家)，创造它的常常是构思，而不是公式。有许多的脸，就他们的部分看并不优美，但作为整体却非常动人。
If it be true that the principal part of beauty is in decent motion,certainly it is no marvel,though persons in years seem many times more amiable;pulchrorum autumnus pulcher;for no youth can be comely but by pardon,and considering the youth,as to make up the comeliness.
虽然美之菁华无疑在于优雅的举止，但有些老人更显得可爱，这印证了一句拉丁谚语：“暮色之色更美。”而尽管有的年轻人具有美貌，却由于缺乏完美的修养而不配得到最好的赞美。
Beauty is as summer fruits,which are easy to corrupt,and cannot last;and for the most part it makes a dissolute youth,and an age a little out of countenance;but yet certainly again,if it light well,it maketh virtue shine,and vices blush.
美犹如盛夏的水果，是容易腐烂而难保持的。世上有许多美人，他们有过放荡的青春，却迎受着愧悔的晚年。因此，应该把美的形貌与美的德行结合起来。这样，美才会发出夺目的光辉。

Happiness is a journey
幸福是个过程
We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, thananother. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content whenthey are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly behappy when they are out of that stage.
我们总是说服自己，认为当我们结婚、生子后日子会过的更加舒心些。然后我们又被那些小鬼的不懂事搞得不顺心，当他们大了些后，情况会好些吧。当孩子到了青春期的时候，(有时)对于如何跟他们好好交流又会使我们很无措。我们都深信当他们过了那个年龄段后，事情就会有些转机。
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her acttogether. When we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation when we retire. Thetruth is, there's no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filledwith challenges. It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
我们总是对自己说，当另一半有条理的过活时，(我们的)人生就会很圆满。当我们买了一台漂亮的车子后，我们认为可以在年老退休后开去度假。可事实上，再也没有比当下更好的时间段了，要不是现在这时，那么还能是什么时候呢?我们的人生满是各种神奇的未知数。不管怎么说，对你我而言，最好是承认活在当下里的意义然后及时“自己给自己找乐”。
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said, "for a long time it had seemed tome that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way,someting to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debtto be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
我最看中一段尔弗雷德·苏泽说过的话。他说“一直以来，我感觉的是真正的生活就要来了。但是在前面总有些东西拦在那里，一些问题必须先被搞定后才能进行下一项，比如未完成的工作，(做事时)等着轮到自己的那段时间、等待着交钱的帐单。当这些事解决后你才能开始自己的一天。后来我才觉悟到解决这些生活琐事的时候就是我的人生。”
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is theway. So treasure every moment that you have.
这样的想法使我认识到，幸福是没有方式去追求寻找的。因为寻找幸福的过程本身就是幸福。所以珍惜你所拥有的点点滴滴。
And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you goback to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids; until youretire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide thatthere is no better time than right now to be happy…
而且还要牢记时光不会等待垂青你我。于事莫等到你毕业之后、重返校园之时再去等待(幸福);莫身陷围城之中，来来往往，进进出出后才去等待(幸福);莫等到你膝下饶子、莫等到你老来归园、莫等到你了自己的新车、莫等到你乔迁新居、莫等到早春迟来、莫等到你重获新生后才认识到人生本是‘莫待来日，及时行乐 ’……
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, work like you don't need money, love like you'venever been hurt, and dance like no one's watching.
寻找幸福的过程本身就是幸福，这条路上没有终点站。那么，你就要像不愁薪水那般去工作;敞开心扉那般去欢爱;旁若无人那般去歌舞。

Of Gardens 说花园
I will live this day as if it is my last.
假如今天是我生命中的最后一天。
And what shall I do with this last precious day which remains in my keeping? First, I will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand. I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday's misfortunes, yesterday's defeats, yesterday's aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?
我要如何利用这最后、最宝贵的一天呢?首先，我要把一天的时间珍藏好，不让一分一秒的时间滴漏。我不为昨日的不幸叹息，过去的已够不幸，不要再赔上今日的运道。
Can sand flow upward in the hour glass? Will the sun rise where it sets and set where it rises? Can I relive the errors of yesterday and right them? Can I call back yesterday's wounds and make them whole? Can I become younger than yesterday? Can I take back the evil that was spoken, the blows that were struck, the pain that was caused? No. Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more.
时光会倒流吗?太阳会西升东落吗?我可以纠正昨天的错误吗?我能扶平昨日的创伤吗?我能比昨天年轻吗?一句出口的恶言，一记挥出的拳头，一切造成的伤痛，能收回吗?不能!过去的永远过去了，我不再去想它。
I will live this day as if it is my last.
假如今天是我生命中的最后一天。
And what then shall I do? Forgetting yesterday neither will I think of tomorrow. Why should I throw note after maybe? Can tomorrow's sand flow through the glass before today's? Will the sun rise twice this morning? Can I perform tomorrow's deeds while standing in today's path? Can I place tomorrow's gold in today's purse? Can tomorrow's child be born today? Can tomorrow's death cast its shadow backward and darken today's joy? Should I concern myself over events which l may never witness? Should I torment myself with problems that may never come to pass? No! Tomorrow lies buried with yesterday, and I will think of it no more.
我该怎么办?忘记昨天，也不要痴想明天。明天是一个未知数，为什么要把今天的精力浪费在未知的事上?想着明天的种种，今天的时光也白白流逝了。 企盼今早的太阳再次升起，太阳已经落山。走在今天的路上，能做明天的事吗?我能把明天的金币放进今天的钱袋里吗?明日瓜熟，今日能蒂落吗?明天的死亡能将今天的欢乐蒙上阴影吗?我能杞人忧天吗?明天和明天一样被我埋葬。我不再想它。
I will live this day as if it is my last.
今天是我生命中的最后一天。
This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterday's sunrise who are no longer with the living today. I am indeed a fortunate man and today's hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I, have departed? Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? Is this another opportunity for me to become the man I know I can be? Is there a purpose in nature? Is this my day to excel?
这是我仅有的一天，是现实的永恒。我像被赦免死刑的囚犯，用喜悦的泪水拥抱新生的太阳。我举起双手，感谢这无与伦比的一天。当我想到昨天和我一 起迎接日出的朋友，今天已不复存在时，我为自己的幸存，感激上苍。我是无比幸运的人，今天的时光是额外的奖赏。许多强者都先我而去，为什么我得到这额外的 一天?是不是因为他们已大功告成，而我尚在途中跋涉?如果这样，这是不是成就我的一次机会，让我功德圆满?造物主的安排是否别具匠心?今天是不是我超越他人的机会?
I will live this day as if it is my last.
今天是我生命中的最后一天。
I have but one life and life is naught but a measurement of time. When I waste one I destroy the other. If I waste today I destroy the last page of my life. Therefore, each hour of this day will I cherish for it can never return. It cannot be banked today to be withdrawn on the morrow, for who can trap the wind? Each minute of this day will I grasp with both hands and fondle with love for its value is beyond price. What dying man can purchase another breath though he willingly give all his gold? What price dare I place on the hours ahead? I will make them priceless!
生命只有一次，而人生也不过是时间的累积。我若让今天的时光白白流逝，就等于毁掉入生最后一页。因此，我珍惜今天的一分一秒，因为它们将一去不复返。我无法把今天存入银行，明天再来取用。时间像风一样不可捕捉。每一分一秒，我要用双手捧住，用爱心抚摸，因为它们如此宝贵。垂死的人用毕生的钱财都无法换得一口生气。我无法计算时间的价值，它们是无价之宝。
I will live this day as if it is my last.
今天是我生命中的最后一天。
I will avoid with fury the killers of time. Procrastination I will destroy with action; doubt I will bury under faith; fear I will dismember with confidence. Where there are idle mouths I will listen not; where there are idle hands I will linger not; where there are idle bodies I will visit not. Henceforth I know that to court idleness is to steal food, clothing, and warmth from those I love. I am not a thief. I am a man of love and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness.
我憎恨那些浪费时间的行为。我要摧毁拖延的习性。我要以真诚埋葬怀疑，用信心驱赶恐惧。我不听闲话、不游手好闲，不与不务正业的人来往。我终于醒悟到，若是懒惰，无异于从我所爱之人手中窃取食物和衣裳。我不是贼，我有爱心，今天是我最后的机会，我要证明我的爱心和伟大。
I will live this day as if it is my last.
今天是我生命中的最后一天。
The duties of today I shall fulfill today. Today I shall fondle my children while they are young; tomorrow they will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses; tomorrow she will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow he will no longer cry for help, nor will I hear his cries. Today I shall give myself in sacrifice and work; tomorrow I will have nothing to give, and there will be none to receive.
今日事今日毕。今天我要趁孩子还小的时候，多加爱护，明天他们将离我而去，我也会离开。今天我要深情地拥抱我的妻子，给她甜蜜的热吻，明天她会离去，我也是。今天我要帮助落难的朋友，明天他不再求援，我也听不到他的哀求。我要乐于奉献，因为明天我无法给予，也没有人来领受了。
I will live this day as if it is my last.
今天是我生命中的最后一天。
And if it is my last, it will be my greatest monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will make the every hour count and each minute I will trade only for something of value. I will labor harder than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief, and then I will continue. I will make more calls than ever before. I will sell more goods than ever before. I will earn more gold than ever before. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best.
如果这是我的末日，那么它就是不朽的纪念日，我把它当成最美好的日子。我要把每分每秒化为甘露，一口一口，细细品尝，满怀感激。我要每一分钟都有价值。我要加倍努力，直到精疲力竭。即使这样，我还要继续努力。我要拜访更多的顾客，销售更多的货物，赚取更多的财富。今天的每一分钟都胜过昨天的一个小时，最后的也是最好的。
I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks.
假如今天是我生命中的最后一天。如果不是的话，我要跪倒在上苍面前，深深致谢。
