在我們的生活中有許多時(shí)候我們都萌生了放棄的念頭
such as accidents,losing the beloved one,terminal illness, failing in an important exam, losing a job, and so on.
例如在事故中失去了所愛的人或是處在了疾病的晚期重要考試的失利失去工作等。
Those life changing events can strike us without warning,
在生活中有許多事情都能悄無聲息地將我們打倒
oftentimes several at a time,seemingly layer upon layer, weighing us down.
有好幾次都是一件事接著一件事的給我們致命一擊。
It seems that the seas of life are so rough and stormy
似乎生命的大海巨浪滔天
that we are likely to get weary trying to keep our little boat from sinking.
我們努力著不讓我們的那艘小船沉沒有時(shí)我們也會疲倦。
However,if we have hopes,we will not let those life changing events get the best of us and succumb to helplessness.
但是如果有希望我們就將不會讓這些事情把我們擊垮并戰(zhàn)勝無助。
Firstly,though hope is not an objective existence,
首先盡管希望不是客觀存在的
it can arouse optimistic feelings for the future.
但是它卻能夠讓我們對未來充滿樂觀的態(tài)度。
As many psychologistsresearch indicates,reflecting on ones failures is generally good,
但是許多心理學(xué)家的研究表明對失敗進(jìn)行深思是一件好事
but when it takes too much time,it is dangerous,
但是如果人們深思的時(shí)間過長那么它將變得非常危險(xiǎn)
for it soon becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy
-因?yàn)樗芸炀蜁兂勺晕覍?shí)現(xiàn)的語言
that will quickly break every slice of confidence that we have in ourselves.
這將粉碎我們的自信心
That is how those who do not have hopes deal with these ups and downs.
這就是人們在沒有希望時(shí)處理困難情況的方式。
However,if people have hopes and always look forward to the future,
但是如果人們總是對未來充滿了希望
they are able to envision a subjective picture of brightness in their mind,
那么他們就能夠預(yù)見充滿希望的未來
and take different measures to live a happy life.
并采取不同的方式來生活。
Secondly,having a hope helps people get rid of doubts and fears of day-to-day life
第二充滿希望能夠幫助人們擺脫疑慮對生活的恐懼
and the challenges they must overcome to stay on an even keel.
以及他們必須要戰(zhàn)勝的挑戰(zhàn)。
This can be best illustrated in clinics.
這些能夠從醫(yī)院中得到解釋。
Medical practitioners are always sensitive to the effects of their words
醫(yī)生對他們說的每一句話都非常敏感
so that their words might be acceptable to state the facts in such a way
他們說的每一句話都要讓人們所接受
that they do not take away all possibility of hope.
只有這樣他們才能充滿希望。
Even if the patient does die,
即使病人即將要死了
the time that he or she is given will be spent better if the patient has been allowed some hope,
如果醫(yī)生給予了病人希望那么病人還會有好轉(zhuǎn)的機(jī)會
as opposed to spending the remaining lifetime in a state of perpetual fear
而不是讓病人活在永遠(yuǎn)的恐懼中
that each day is supposed to be the last.
即我的時(shí)日不多了。
On all accounts,indicative of having a hope is the optimism of our lives.
所以給予希望將會讓生活變得樂觀。
So long as we still have hopes in our heart,
只要我們充滿希望
we will always look forward to the future.
我們就將對未來充滿期望。
Hope can also help us remove doubts and fears in our daily lives.
希望能夠幫助人們消除疑慮和恐懼。
In any sense,Hope is a good thing,maybe the best of things,
不管怎樣“希望是好的或許是最好的”
as Andy Dufresne said in the Shawshank Redemption.
這是安迪?杜佛蘭在“肖申克的救贖”中所說的話。
