珍惜现在

孟祥高

Life is a long journey， there are a lot of scenery in the journey. However， there must be an idyllic （田园诗般的） scenery hiding in our subconsciousness （潜意识）. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the moment. We are traveling by train. Out the windows， we drink in the passing scene. However， the final destination is superior to others in our minds！

人生就是旅行，在旅途中我们会遇到许多的风景。然而，我们的潜意识里一定藏着一派田园诗般的风光！我们仿佛身处漫漫旅程之中！我们乘着火车，我们领略着窗外美丽的景色。然而我们心里想得最多的却是最终的目的地！

So we may ruin our journeys. Sooner or later， we must realize there is no station， no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip and the moment， while the station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances （把……远远抛在后面） us.

所以我们可能毁了自己的旅行。我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站， 也没有能够“一到永逸”的地方！生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程，在于现在，而车站不过是个梦，它始终遥遥领先于我们。

So cherish the moment is an important thing in our life. It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.

所以珍惜现在是人生中一件很重要的事情。已经发生的事情就像泼出去的水，覆水难收。很多美好的事，往往在我们的不经意间就被错过了。

Actually， I also missed something precious before. The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple： we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow. And we often convinced ourselves that the better is coming， which make us pay no attention to what we have right now.

事实上，我也错过一些美好的东西。错过的理由很简单：我们以为还有明天。并且我们经常告诉自己后面还有更好的，这就往往导致了对已经拥有的我们毫不在乎。

Nevertheless， tomorrow is actually unreliable. Otherwise， There was no saying that in many peoples life， they have only done two things： waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we grow up， or when we get rich or when we become old， etc. However， when it comes， there is nothing to say or do.

事实上，明天是不可靠的。否则，怎么会有人说：很多人的一生中，只做了“等待”与“后悔”两件事。结果就是，在失去之前他们总来不及珍惜他们所拥有的。我们老爱说：长大再说，有钱再说，老了再说……可是到了那时候，什么都不必说或做了。

So stop waiting until you finish school， until you go back to school， until you lose five pounds， until you gain five pounds， until you have kids， until your kids grow up， until you start work， until you lose your work， until you retire， until you get married， until you get divorced（离婚的）， until you lose the people you love or love you， until Friday night， until Monday morning， until spring， until summer， until fall， until winter， until you die， until you are born again to understand that there is no better time than right now to be happy.

所以停止等待吧！不要等你完成学业，不要等你回校，不要等你减了五磅，不要等你重了五磅，不要等你有了孩子，不要等你的孩子长大，不要等你开始工作，不要等你失去工作，不要等你退休，不要等你结婚，不要等你离婚，不要等你失去你爱的或爱你的人，不要等到周五晚上，不要等到周一清晨，不要等到春天，不要等到夏天，不要等到秋天，不要等到冬天，不要等你去世，不要等你投胎——才发现没有哪一刻会比现在更幸福了。

However， when we reach the condition we have expected， we could no longer realize our wishes any more， because we have lost them by then.

然而，当我们达到我们预期的条件时，我们却感受不到我们的梦想了，因为我们早就已经失去它了。

The truth is， theres no better time to be happy than right now. Your life will always be filled with challenges. Its best to admit this and decide to be happy. There is no short way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So， treasure every moment that you have.

事实上，没有哪一刻能比现在更加幸福。你的生活总是充满挑战。你最好意识到这一点，下定决心，让自己幸福起来。幸福没有捷径可言。幸福本身就是人生之道。所以，请珍惜你所拥有的每一刻吧！

The past is gone， and the future is unknown， what we get is the moment， so enjoy it now.

过去的已经消逝，未来的尚不明确，只有现在触手可及，所以好好品味现在吧！
