第1章 前言

我们的生活在于行动,而不是时间;在于思想,而不是呼吸;在于感觉,而不是表盘上的数字。我们应该按心灵的悸动来计算时间。谁思考最多,情操最高尚,做得最好,谁的生活就最有意义。

We live in deeds, not years: in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

PERFACE

Years Gone By

逝水流年

A. Potter

As one year goes by and

another one begins.

It makes us remember

things that have happened and the has-beens.

Remember that and remember this,

what about the times, and why did that happens.

When did childhood end and adulthood start?

As you look back on the stages of life,

remember everything you can.

From mistakes, to accomplishments, to lessons learned.

Because we know that nothing's without strife.

But in the end, no matter what else will be.

You will always have friends and family.

Remember the ones who were there during the “ifs”, “buts”, “whens”, or “whys”.

The ones who've been there during the years gone by.

一年过去

又一年开始

我们总会想起

往日的种种

历历在目

逝去的时光,不堪回首的往事

遥远的童年,苦涩的青春

回首过去

拾起记忆的碎片

错误,成功,教训

纷纷扰扰

最终,无论如何

你总还有家人、朋友

在人生的跌宕起伏中

陪伴你走过一年又一年
