　　篇一

　　I recently started a new job, in a small office, where four of us share a fridge. In that fridge is a Brita water filter pitcher. One of my coworkers complained the water tasted "dirty". It went on for a few days, and she was stunned I could drink the water without any trouble. I started to doubt my taste buds, but the water really tasted fine.

　　最近我找了份新工作，是在一間小辦公室裡，我們四個人共用一個冰箱。冰箱裡有一個Brita牌濾水壺，有一個同事抱怨說水喝起來感覺很“髒”，她連續抱怨了幾天，還很震驚我喝這樣的水竟然沒事。我開始懷疑自己的味蕾出問題了，但我真覺著水喝著還不錯。

　　Finally, she figured out the problem was actually her cup. She simply forgot to clean it, and after awhile started to affect the water inside it. She cleaned her cup, and drank the water with no problem.

　　最後，她發現問題出在了她的杯子上，她只是忘了刷杯子，過一段時間就影響裡面水的味道了。她把杯子洗乾淨了，水就沒有異味了。

　　I can't help but think about the world we live in. Too often we quickly blame other people, other things, anything else but ourselves. "You're racist". "You're intolerant". "You're the problem". The world isn't perfect, I know, but I think we should take a step back sometimes and ask ourselves some tough questions.

　　我禁不住思考了我們生活的世界，我們總是急於責備其他人、其他事、除了自己之外的一切東西。“你有種族歧視”、“你太狹隘”、“是你的問題”，我知道世界並不完美，但我認為有時我們應該退一步，問自己幾個很難回答的問題。

　　Can I be better? Is my heart really pure? Can I help this situation with kindness?

　　我能變得更好嗎?我的心真的純潔嗎?我能帶著善意解決問題嗎?

　　I want to tell you this; please clean your cup. Because when you do, the water will taste much better. I promise you this.

　　我想告訴你這個道理：請洗乾淨自己的杯子。因為只有你把杯子洗乾淨了，裡面的水味道才會好，我保證。

　　篇二

　　A Smile Is A Gift Worth Giving

　　一個微笑就夠了

　　I'd never really thought about giving a smile as a gift until this morning. Sometimes a smile is the best gift you can give someone.

　　直到今天早上我才真正意識到，微笑也是一份禮物。有時候，一個微笑是你能夠給他人的最好的禮物。

　　Yesterday I was in the grocery store. I saw an older man standing with a sad look on his face. I walked by and gave him a big smile. Immediately, his eyes brightened and he smiled back. I don't know why he looked so sad, but for that moment in time he smiled.

　　昨天，我在雜貨店。我看到一個老爺爺站在一旁，他看起來很難過。我從他身邊走過並衝他露出一個大大的微笑。他的目光一下子明亮了起來，也對我報以微笑。我不知道為什麼他看起來那麼難過，但就在那一刻，他笑了。

　　People are in a rush and many are stressed this time of the year. Why not give a gift of your smile to everyone you meet. Give the gift of your smile! You never know how much of a difference you could be making in their life at that moment.

　　每年的這個時候，人們都匆匆忙忙，他們很多都揹負著巨大的壓力。為什麼不對每個你遇到的人報以微笑?別吝嗇你的微笑!你永遠都不知道在他們生命中的那一刻，你的微笑可能會改變他們的人生。

　　Always remember that a smile is a gift worth giving!

　　永遠記住，微笑是最珍貴的禮物。

　　篇三

　　The Truth Is, I Don't 'Have It All Together'

　　不，我沒有你們眼中那麼完美

　　Recently I have had a few friends and family members comment to me, 'you seem to always have it all together.'

　　最近，我的一些朋友和家人評價我說，“你看起來總是那麼完美。”

　　I want people, especially other moms out there to know that: I try, but the truth is, I don't 'have it all together.'

　　我想要大家，尤其是那些媽媽們知道：我的確在努力做到完美，但現實是，我沒有那麼完美。

　　In today's world, so many parents think they need to live up to a stereotype that in my personal opinion, completely hinders our abilities to enjoy the true meaning of life.

　　當今社會，很多父母認為他們必須維持一貫的刻板形象，但是在我看來，這套理論徹底阻礙了我們享受生命真正的意義。

　　So in honor of my photos of my beautiful 4 children and endless built up laundry, it's OK.

　　看在那些我4個漂亮的孩子的照片的份上，還有沒完沒了的推擠如山的髒衣服面前，一切都無所謂了。

　　It's ok to have laundry piled to the ceiling, it's ok to have dishes backed up in your sink, it's ok for your house to not look like a show home on a daily basis.

　　髒衣服堆到天花板沒關係，盤子堆滿水槽沒關係，每天你家裡看起來亂七八糟也沒關係。

　　We all do it. Whether we admit it or not, just know when you feel overwhelmed, you are not alone.

　　我們都是這樣。無論我們是否承認，只要知道，當你不知所措的時候，你並不孤獨，就好了。

　　You are doing your best, so keep doing it.

　　你一直在盡最大努力，那麼堅持下去吧。

　　The happiness you bring to your children is not measured by what you own, what you buy, or what your house looks like on a daily basis.

　　你帶給孩子們最大的幸福不是用你擁有什麼，你買了什麼或者每天你屋裡的樣子來衡量。

　　Happiness ismeasured by the time spent and memories made with your children and your family.

　　幸福是根據你每天陪你的孩子和家人多久，給他們留下多少回憶來衡量的。

　　Don't ever forget that, don't ever forget to actually love what matters.

　　永遠不要忘記這一點，不要忘了去愛真正值得愛的一切。
