Be Happy

快樂

Active happiness -- not mere satisfaction or contentment

積極的快樂--并非單純的滿意或知足

often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud.

通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然綻放。

Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it.

然后，你就會發(fā)覺與快樂結(jié)伴而來的究竟是何種智慧。

The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter;

草地更為青翠，鳥鳴更為甜美，

the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable.

朋友的缺點也變的更能讓人理解、寬容。

Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.

快樂就像一副眼鏡，可以矯正你的精神視力。

Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you.

快樂的視野并不僅限于你周圍的事物。

Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall.

當(dāng)你不快樂時，你的思維陷入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就像被一道墻給阻隔住了。

Happy, the wall crumbles.

而當(dāng)你快樂時，這道墻會砰然倒塌。

The long vista is there for the seeing, the ground at your feet,

你的眼界變的更為寬廣，你腳下的大地，

and the world about you-people, thoughts, emotions, and pressures-are now fitted into the larger scene.

你身邊的世界，包括人、思想、情感和壓力，現(xiàn)在都融入了更為廣闊的景象之中。

Everything assumes a fairer proportion.

其間每件事物的比例都更加合理。

And here is the beginning of wisdom.

而這就是睿智的起始。
