生日的意义

分析了一段写生日的美文,作为纪念。

It is good to be thankful for(感激) what you have in life and what you have

accomplished. But open your eyes to the larger picture. If we are to(要去,是一种表未来要去做的时态) appreciate the fruits of life, we must first appreciate

the tree that bears the fruit(结出果子): birth itself.

去感激你生命中已经拥有的和你已经实现的是一件很好的事情,但是,睁开双眼,我们能看到更大的场景。如果我们要去感激生命的果实,我们必须得首先感激结出那果子的树:“出生”。

Birth is your beginning. It is a window to(通向…的窗户) the chance of a

lifetime, the chance to fulfill your unique mission(完成你独特的使命). So a

birthday is a momentous occasion(重大的场合), to be commemorated(被纪念) just as a nation commemorates its birth or as an organization celebrates

its founding. Still, it is much more than an occasion to receive gifts(生日绝不仅仅是一个收礼物的场合,注意这种用比较级来表达“不仅仅”). It is a chance

to remember the day that a major event(大事件) occurred, to celebrate and

give thanks and to reflect upon(思考) how well we are fulfilling our calling(相当于mission,使命).

“出生”是你生命的开端。它是一扇窗,通向你人生的机会,一个完成你独特使命的机会。所以,生日是一个重要的时间,应该被纪念,就像一个国家要纪念它的生日,或者一个组织要庆祝它的诞生。但生日绝不仅仅是一个收礼物的场合,它是一个回忆大事件(指出生这件事)的机会,也是一个机会去庆祝、感激并思考我们的使命完成得如何。

A birthday is a time to celebrate birthitself, the joy of life. It is also an occasion

to rethink(重思) your life: How great is the disparity between(…和…的差距)

what I have accomplished and what I canaccomplish? Am I spending my time

properly or am I involved in(参与) things that distractme from(从…分心) my

higher calling? How can I strengthen the thread that connects my outer life and

my inner life?

生日也是一个庆生的时机,这是生命中的一种快乐。同时也能让你重新思考自己的人生:我已经做的事情和我能做的事情之间有什么差距?我是不是合理安排了我的时间?或者我是否做了一些让我分心的事情,从而远离了我的使命?我如何能加强我内部生命和外部生命的连接? A birthday can also teach us the concept of rebirth(重生). To recall our birth is

to recall a new beginning. No matter how things went(事情进展)yesterday, or

last year, we always have the capacity to(拥有…的能力) try again. Your

birthday is a refresher(提神的事物), a chance for regeneration(再生、重生)--not just materially, but spiritually.

生日同时也能教会我们重生的概念。回忆我们的出生就是回忆一个新的起点。不管过去事情到底进展的顺不顺利,我们总有重新尝试的机会。你的生日就是让你重新启动的机会,一次重生的机会,无论在物质上还是精神上。
