微笑 / Smile

No living creature can laugh except man. Trees may bleed when they are wounded, and beasts in the field will cry in pain and hunger, yet only I have the gift of laughter and I can laugh whenever I choose. From now on I will cultivate the habit of laughter.

I will smile and my digestion will improve; I will chuckle and my burdens will be lightened; I will laugh and my life will be lengthened for this is the great secret of long life and now it is mine.

I will paint this day with laughter; I will frame this night in song. Never will I labor to be happy; rather will I remain too busy to be sad. I will enjoy today’s happiness today. It is not grain to be stored in a box. It is not wine to be saved in a jar. It cannot be saved for the morrow. It must be sown and reaped on the same day and this I will do, from now on.

And with my laughter all things will be reduced to their proper size. I will laugh at my failure and it will vanish in clouds of new dreams; I will laugh at my success and it will shrink to its true value. I will laugh at evil and it will die untasted; I will laugh at goodness and it will thrive and abound. Each day will be triumphant only when my smiles bring forth smiles from others and this I do in selfishness, for those on whom I frown are those who purchase not my goods.

【日积月累】

digestion n. 消化力,领悟

morrow n. 次日

triumphant adj. 胜利的,成功的,狂欢的,洋洋得意的

微笑

除了人类之外,没有生物会笑。树木受伤的时候会流,禽兽会因痛苦和饥饿而哭嚎哀鸣,但是,只有我才具备笑的天赋,我可以选择任何时候开怀大笑。从今往后,我要培养笑的习惯。

我要笑,笑有助于消化;我要笑,笑能减轻我的压力;我要笑,笑可以延长我的生命,因为这是长寿的秘方,而现在我拥有了它。

我要用笑声来描绘今天,我要用歌声照亮黑夜。我不会再苦苦地寻觅快乐,相反,我要在繁忙的工作中忘记悲伤。我要在今天享受今天的快乐,快乐不像谷物可以用箱子贮藏,也不像美酒可以用罐子盛装,同时也不可为明日而保留。快乐必须要在同一天播种和收获,从今往后,我要做到。

笑声中,所有的一切都会恢复它固有的面貌。我笑自己的失败,它将化为梦的云彩;我笑自己的成功,它回复本来面目;我笑邪恶,它远我而去;我笑善良,它会发扬光大。每一天都是成功的,只要我用我的笑容感染别人,虽然我的目的是自私的,因为皱起的眉头会让顾客弃我而去。

【人生启迪】

有位哲人曾说:微笑是人类最美的表情。一个微笑就可以拉近两颗心的距离。微笑不需要代价但给予却是无价,它充实着接受者的生活却不会让给予者贫穷,它只是瞬间的发生但会延续永久。微笑让人摆脱沮丧和失意,治愈了痛苦的心情。向着人们微笑吧,给予会让他人快乐也会让你从微笑中感受到尊重、肯定、接纳、关怀、友善……
