为你读英语美文·第512期
主播:雲昊
录制地点:西安
小时候我喜欢和蓓蒂一起爬屋顶,瓦片温热,眼里是半个卢湾区,蓓蒂是我的邻居,喜欢弹钢琴,当时只有4岁,那样的午后是我对童年永远的记忆,时光如水,把人和事带来又一并带走,这些年被带走的又何止蓓蒂一个。
大暑之后必要大寒。一定记住,这是规律。
After the period of Great Heat comes the inevitable Great Cold. Bear this in mind as an inviolable law.
外行看门面,内行看后门。
Outsiders judge by appearances, insiders by what lies behind the scenes.
你以为吃的是龙虾,实际上吃的是机会,一只龙虾就是一个机会。不是在应酬,就是在求人。
What you perceive as indulging in lobster is, in reality, partaking of opportunity; each lobster represents a chance. It's not merely socializing but often seeking favors.
凡事,总要留一手。
In all things, always keep a backup plan.
纽约的帝国大厦晓得吧?从底下跑到屋顶,要一个钟头,从屋顶跳下来,只要八点八秒,这就是股票。想从股票上赚钱,先学会输。
Know the Empire State Building in New York? It takes an hour to run up from the bottom to the top, yet only 8.8 seconds to fall from the roof – such is the nature of stocks. To make money from stocks, first learn to lose.
上海人做生意,讲究派头、噱头、苗头。
Shanghainese in business value style, novelty, and promising signs.
一个男人应该有多少个钱包?三只。第一只就是你实际有多少钱。第二只就是你的信用,人家钱包里的钞票你可以调动多少。第三只就是人家认为你有多少钱。
How many wallets should a man have? Three. The first contains your actual wealth. The second represents your credit, the amount of cash in others' wallets that you can mobilize. The third signifies the perception of your wealth by others.
只有看到未来,才会有未来。
Only by envisioning the future can one create a future.
首饰跟男人一样,将就不如不要。
Jewelry, much like men, is better avoided altogether than settled for less.
男女之事,源自天地时利,差一分一厘,就是空门。
The intricacies between men and women derive from favorable time and place; any slight deviation leads to emptiness.
市场永远是对的,错的只有自己。冲得太快,逃得太慢,肯定是要吃瘪。头顶在肩膀上,脚长在自己身上,只要保护好自己,机会永远比风险大。
The market is always right; the fault lies with oneself. Charging ahead too fast or retreating too slow guarantees setbacks. With one's head on one's shoulders and feet firmly planted, safeguarding oneself ensures opportunities will always outweigh risks.
做生意不是比谁赚得多,要看谁活得长,不要想着一步登天,要一步一个脚印,稳扎稳打。
Business is not about who makes the most money, but who lasts the longest. Avoid the temptation of instant success; take steady steps, firm and methodical.
做生意,首先要学会两个字:不响。不知道的,说不清楚的,没想好、没规划的,为难自己、为难别人的,都不响。做事情要留有余地,对吧。
In business, master this word first: restraint. Do not speak on matters you're unsure of, unclear about, unplanned, or those that put undue strain on yourself or others. Always leave room for maneuvering.
外贸就是借人家的鸡,生你自己的蛋,不过人家凭什么要把鸡借给你,帮你生蛋呢?
Foreign trade is akin to borrowing someone else's hen to lay your eggs, but why would they lend it to you in the first place?
现在讲究市场经济,搞市场就相信市场,是一块钱吃一杯茶,还是十块钱吃一杯茶,是人家的事情。不相信市场就像我们一样,太太平平过日子。
In today's market economy, trust the market if you engage with it; whether someone pays one yuan or ten yuan for a cup of tea is their choice. Not believing in the market is like living a peaceful, uneventful life.
资本市场报仇,只会叫你什么地方来什么地方去。
The capital market deals retribution by sending you back to where you started.
心可以热,但头一定要冷。
Hearts can be passionate, but heads must remain cool.
机会面前人人平等,抓住了机会就有可能改变人生。有人乘风而起,有人半日归零。
Opportunity is equally available to all; seizing it can alter one's life trajectory. Some rise with the wind, while others see their gains vanish in half a day.
有主张、搞得定、摆得平,最后还有一点,要输得起。
Have convictions, handle situations effectively, maintain balance, and above all, be prepared to accept losses.
人嘛,总要被一样东西套牢的。不是股票,就是房子。
People are bound to be tied down by something; if not stocks, then it’s houses.
自己看自己都好得不得了,都是人家的错,其实人家看你,浑身是毛病。乐观是好的,但最坏的打算还是要做的,什么事情都要未雨绸缪。
Self-perception is often overly favorable; we blame others, but they might see us riddled with flaws. Optimism is good, but planning for the worst is essential in all things.
出人头地就是一个被人教训的过程。
Rising above the crowd is a process fraught with lessons taught by others.
口气不要比力气大。
One's boasts should not exceed their abilities.
人人心里有杆秤,什么时候可以同富贵,什么时候可以共患难,心里多少都有数的。
Each person carries an inner scale, knowing when to share prosperity and when to face adversity together.
目标从来都不遥远,一步步,一天天,只管全力以赴,剩下的交给时间。
Targets are never far off; take one step at a time, one day at a time, exert full effort, and leave the rest to time.
人总要赶一头,要么走要么留,唯独不好后悔,后悔没药可救的。
One must always choose a direction, either to move forward or stay, but regrets are futile; there's no cure for them.
人情就是欠来欠去的,就跟刷墙一样,刷过来刷过去,所以这个人情才会越来越深厚。
Human relations are built upon reciprocal debts, like brushing paint back and forth, which deepens bonds over time.
哪里有那么多真的假的,眼前看到的就是真的,走掉的都是假的。
There's not much true or false; what's seen before you is real, and what's gone is irrelevant.
当时我看不清楚她的样子,十年以后,我还是没有看清她的样子,但我看清了自己。
At that time, I couldn't see her clearly, and even ten years later, I hadn't fully discerned her appearance, but I had gained clarity about myself.
蟋蟀再勇敢,牙齿再尖,斗到最后,还是输的,要死的,人也是一样。
Even the bravest cricket with the sharpest teeth eventually loses the fight and meets its demise; the same applies to humans.
为什么我不可以是自己的码头?27号不是我的码头,宝总也不是,我是我自己的码头。
Why can't I be my own harbor? Number 27 isn't my harbor, nor is Bao; I am my own harbor.
宁敲金钟一记,不打破鼓千声。
Better to strike a single golden bell than to beat a thousand drums in vain.
关山难越,闯过去是扬眉吐气,又一程山高水远,闯不过去变成了教训,警示后来人。
Mountains and rivers are hard to traverse; overcoming them brings pride and triumph, but failure turns into a lesson for posterity.
今天的太阳,晒不到明天的衣裳。时间,决定一切。
Today's sun won't shine on tomorrow's clothes; time determines everything.
在老天爷看来,都是必然的。一种选择,一种人生,不是你晓得对跟错,就能够逃得掉的。
In the eyes of fate, everything is predestined. Every choice leads to a different life, and understanding right from wrong doesn't exempt one from facing consequences.
人生两个问题,第一,找到问题,第二,把它解决掉。
Life presents two questions: first, identify the problem; second, solve it.
天气不会一直好下去的,人不会一直占上风的。
The weather will not always be favorable, nor will people consistently hold the upper hand.

主播:John
录制地点:纽约
John McAuley是严喆本科时的外教,曾在2015年为我们带来过第69期节目《The Daffodil Principle水仙花法则》,第120期《回顾2015》,2016年第144期《毕业赠言》,2018年《我为什么而活》。John曾在联合国总部工作,后来分别在非洲,日本,大连,台湾,香港工作和生活过,现在回到了家乡纽约。
从大连到上海,再到德国,这十多年来,严喆从本科读到博士,如今以访问学者的身份往返于中国和德国,也一直和John保持着亦师亦友的联系。当严喆读到I Still Matter 这首诗的时候,曾研究养老课题的他十分触动,我们终将老去,但我们将以什么样的心态面对衰老?
John今年72岁,有着丰富的人生阅历,邀请他读这首诗再合适不过。严喆在德国沟通,John在美国朗读,永清在中国后期。跨越三个大洲,三个不同的时区,有了这期节目。
做完后期,John听完节目后,发来信息:
Thank you for reconnecting again, Yongqing and Yanzhe. I greatly enjoy my occasional collaboration with you. You chose a very poignant poem for your latest broadcast, and I believe it will touch the hearts of many. May the good effects of the work you do return to you a thousand times over!
Your connected, but unmet friend,
John McA.
I Still Matter
《我依然重要》
作者:Patricia A Fleming
I'm still here
我还在这里
My looks are nothing special,
My face reveals my age,
My body shows some wear and tear,
And my energy's not the same.
我的长相并无特别之处、
我的容颜暴露了我的年龄、
我的身体有些磨损
精力不济
Too often my memory fails me,
And I lose things all the time.
One minute I know what I plan to do,
And the next it may just slip my mind.
我的记忆经常出错
我总是丢三落四
前一分钟我还知道要做什么
下一秒就可能忘得一干二净。
I try hard to avoid my mirror.
There are things I would rather not see,
And even those times when I just catch a glimpse,
I can no longer recognize me.
我努力避免照镜子
有些事情我不想看到
即使我只是瞥了一眼
我已经认不出自己了
The things I used to do with ease
Can now cause aches and pains,
And the quality of the things I do
Will never be quite the same.
我过去轻而易举地做的事情
现在也会引起疼痛、
我做事情的质量
永远不会再像从前一样。
I always compare my older self
To those younger versions of me,
And I know I'm wasting too much time
Missing who I used to be.
我总是拿年老的自己
与年轻时的自己相比
我知道我浪费了太多时间
怀念曾经的自己
But the thing that really makes me sad
Is despite what people see,
Underneath my tattered, worn out shell,
I'm still the same old me.
但真正让我难过的是
尽管人们看到
在我破烂不堪的外表下
我还是原来的我
My heart can still feel endless love,
And at times it still can ache.
My heart can fill with so much joy,
And then it can suddenly break.
我的心依然能感受到无尽的爱
有时也会心痛
我的心可以充满欢乐
然后突然破碎
My soul can still feel sympathy
And longs for forgiveness and peace,
And there are times its light shines boldly through,
And times when it longs for release.
我的灵魂仍能感到同情
渴望宽恕与和平
有时它的光芒也会肆意闪耀
也有渴望释放的时候。
It's true, maybe now that I'm older,
Feeling lonely may be status quo,
But it also has made me more willing
To forgive and let past conflicts go.
这是真的,也许现在我老了、
感到孤独可能是现状、
但这也让我更愿意
原谅和放下过去的冲突。
So maybe to some I look ugly and old,
A person who barely exists.
I'm still quite aware of the beauty inside,
And my value should not be dismissed.
也许在某些人看来,我又老又丑、
一个几乎不存在的人。
但我仍然很清楚自己的内在美、
我的价值不应被忽视。
So although not as strong and no beauty, it's true,
I'm still here and want so much to live,
And I know that there's no one in this world quite like me,
And no one who has more to give.
所以,尽管我不再强壮,不再美丽,但这是事实、
我仍在这里,我很想活下去、
我知道这个世界上没有人像我一样、
也没有人可以比我给予更多。

为你读英语美文 · 往期回顾 | 第69期
主播:严喆,John
录制地点:柏林,2015年2月
John McAuley是严喆在大连读本科时的外教。2015年,严喆前往柏林留学,当时定居香港的John到柏林游玩,在严喆的邀请下,John录制了这期节目The Daffodil Principle。这篇文章,是大学时,John推荐给严喆的。
9年过去了,随着生活阅历的的增加,再次读起这篇文章,对“水仙花法则“有了更深的感触:
Learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time—often just one baby step at a time—and learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.
那就是,懂得向我们的目标迈进,只求一步一个脚印——懂通常一次就一小步——懂得去热爱正在做的事,懂得利用时间的积累。当我们把时间的碎片叠加,再加上每天的一点努力,我们会发现我们也能成就辉煌。我们也能改变这个世界。
9年过去了,John 72岁,回到了纽约。他将再一次做客“为你读英语美文”,为我们带来美文,就在下期,敬请期待哦。
The Daffodil Principle
《水仙花法则》
Several times my daughter had telephoned me to say, "Dad, you must come to see the daffodils before they are over. "I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead.
好几次了,我女儿打电话来说: “爸爸,你务必得在那些水仙花凋谢之前来看看它们。”我是想去,可从拉古娜到箭头湖要开两个小时的车。
"I will come next Tuesday, "I promised, a little reluctantly, after her third call.
“那我下周二去吧。”在她第三次打来电话时,我极不情愿地答应道。
Next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I reluctantly drove there.
到了那个周二,清晨很冷又下着雨,不过既然答应了, 我还是开车去了。
When I finally walked into Carolyn's house, I was welcomed by the joyful sounds of happy children. I delightedly hugged and greeted my grandchildren.
等我终于到了卡罗琳家,拥抱问候过我的外孙们,说:
"Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible in the clouds and fog, there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see badly enough to drive another inch! "
“卡罗琳,别想那水仙了!天阴又有雾,路都看不清。这世上除了你和这些孩子,没有什么能让我为想去看他们再开一步车了!”
My daughter smiled calmly and said, "We drive in this all the time, dad."
女儿平静地笑着说:“爸爸,我们一直都在这种天气里开车 的呀!”
"Well, you won’t get me back on the road until it clears, and then I’m heading for home! "I told her.
“那反正你甭想让我再开车上路了,除非天晴了,然后我就直接开车回家!”我重申道。
"But first we're going to see the daffodils. It's just a few blocks," Carolyn said. "I'll drive. I'm used to this."
“但首先我们要去看水仙花。就几个街区而已,”卡罗琳说。“我来开。我已经习惯了。”
"Carolyn," I said, "please turn around."
“卡罗琳,”说,“请你掉头回去。”
"It’s all right, dad, I promise. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience."
“没事的,爸爸,我保证。如果你错过了这次经历,你永远不会原谅自己的。”
After about 20 minutes, we turned onto a small gravel road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read, Daffodil Garden.
大概过了 20分钟,我们转到了一条碎石小路上,我看到一个小教堂。在教堂的稍远一侧,我看见一个手写的牌子,上面写着:“水仙花园”。
We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, as we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped.
我们走下车,一人领着一个孩子。我跟着卡罗琳顺小道而行, 转到小道的一角,我抬头一看,惊住了。
Before me lay the most glorious sight. It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and poured it over the mountain peak and its surrounding slopes. The flowers were planted in majestic, swirling patterns, great ribbons and swathes of deep orange, creamy white, lemon yellow, salmon pink, and saffron and butter yellow. Each different-colored variety was planted in large groups so that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own unique hue. There were five acres of flowers.
在我面前是极为壮观的景象,看上去仿佛有人把一大缸金子倾倒下来,覆盖了峰顶和山坡。那些花栽种成宏伟的漩涡图案——宽宽窄窄的条纹有很多颜色,有深橘、白、柠檬黄、橙红、番红和乳黄。每种不同色系的 多种颜色种植为一组,这样看上去每组都用自己独特的色调一圈 圈地在自己的河流中流淌。那有五亩花。
"Who did this?" I asked Carolyn.
“这是谁种的呢?”我问卡罗琳。
"Just one woman," Carolyn answered. "She lives on the property. That's her home." Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house, small and modestly sitting in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio, we saw a poster, said, "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking”, that was the headline.
“就一个女人,”卡罗琳回答, “她就以这片花为生。那是她的家。”卡罗琳指着一个整修得很好的A字形房子,在一片壮丽的景象当中,这房子看起来小而朴素。我走到房子跟前,在院子里我看到一张海报,标题是“答案我知道你要问的这些问题”。
The first answer was a simple one. "50,000 bulbs," it read.
第一个答案很简单,写着:“50,000株”。
The second answer was, "One at a time, by one woman. Two hands, two feet, and very little brain."
第二个答案是:“一次种一株,一个女人,两只手,两只脚,不需多动脑。”
The third answer was, "Began in 1958."
第三个答案是:“开始于1958年”
For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, whom more than 35 years before, had begun—one bulb at a time—to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountain top.
对于我,那一刻是一次改变生活的经历。我在琢磨这个我从未谋面的女人,她在35年前,开始一次种一株——给她自己带来了美的景象和花满山顶的快乐。
Planting one bulb at a time, year after year, this unknown woman had forever changed the world in which she lived. One day at a time, she had created something of extraordinary magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.
就这样一次种一株,年复一年,这个不知名的女人永远地 改变了她所居住的世界,她创造了无法形容的壮丽、美好和感动。
The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of the greatest principles of celebration. That is, learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time—often just one baby step at a time—and learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time.
在这个水仙花园中得出的定律是值得庆祝的最伟大的定律之一。那就是,懂得向我们的目标迈进,只求一步一个脚印——懂通常一次就一小步——懂得去热爱正在做的事,懂得利用时间的积累。
When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.
当我们把时间的碎片叠加,再加上每天的一点努力,我们会发现我们也能成就辉煌。我们也能改变这个世界。
"It makes me sad in a way," I admitted to Carolyn. " What might I have accomplished if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five or forty years ago and had worked away at it ‘one bulb at a time’ through all those years? Just think what I might have been able to achieve!"
“ 这让我在某种意义上有点丧气。”我跟卡罗琳说,“ 如果我35年前有一个宏伟的目标,然后也像这样“一次种一株”地做下去,这些年我会有什么成就呢?想想我到底能做成什么!”
My daughter summed up the message of the day in her usual direct way. "Start tomorrow," she said.
女儿直截了当地总结了那天的收获。她说:“从明天开始。”
She was right. It's so pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson of celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask, "How can I put this to use today?"
她是对的。追忆昨天失去的时光是毫无意义的。吸取成功经验,而非悔不当初的方法是只问:“我今天怎么过好今天?”
Use the Daffodil Principle.
运用水仙花原理
Stop waiting.....
停止等待….
Until your car or home is paid off
Until you get a new car or home
Until your kids leave the house
Until you go back to school
Until you finish school
Until you clean the house
Until you organize the garage
Until you clean off your desk
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married
Until you get a divorce
Until you have kids
Until the kids go to school
Until you retire
Until summer
Until spring
Until winter
Until fall
Until you die...
直到你的车贷房贷还清
直到你有了新车或新家
直到你的孩子离开家
直到你回到学校
直到你完成学业
直到你打扫完房子
直到你整理好车库
直到你把桌子清理干净
直到你减掉10磅。
直到你体重增加10磅。
直到你结婚
直到你离婚
直到你有了孩子
直到孩子们上学
直到你退休
直到夏天
直到春天
直到冬天
直到秋天
直到你逝去…
There is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So work like you don't need money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like no one's watching.
没有比现在更幸福的时刻。
幸福是一段旅程,而不是目的地。
所以像不需要钱一样工作。
爱,就像你从未受过伤害。
跳舞,就像没人在看一样。
Wishing you a beautiful, daffodil day!
愿你有一个美丽的水仙花日!

不论你这一年收获满满抑或是仍有遗憾,我都希望你可以调整好心情去迎接新的一年,新的可能性和探索新的目的地。
每年的冬天都是一个和圣诞有关的季节,在今年的圣诞特辑里,我想和大家分享一首圣诞主题的诗。这首诗叫做little tree,作者是美国著名诗人e.e. cummings。短小的诗句里透露出浓郁的圣诞气氛,让读者也能感受到隔着文字的那一份独属于圣诞的欣喜和愉悦。
在这里我也祝愿正在收听节目的你圣诞快乐,新年快乐!在寒冷的冬日也能找到一份舒适的温暖 。
little tree
《小树》
作者:e.e. cummings
little tree
little silent Christmas tree
you are so little
you are more like a flower
小树
沉默的小圣诞树
你是如此渺小
你更像一朵花
who found you in the green forest
and were you very sorry to come away?
see i will comfort you
because you smell so sweetly
谁在绿色森林中发现了你
你很遗憾离开吗?
看,我会安慰你的
因为你的气味如此甜美
i will kiss your cool bark
and hug you safe and tight
just as your mother would,
only don’t be afraid
我会亲吻你清凉的树皮
紧紧拥抱你
就像你妈妈一样
只是不要害怕
look the spangles
that sleep all the year in a dark box
dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,
看看那些
终年沉睡在黑暗的盒子里
梦想着被拿出来闪耀、
金色和红色的小球,蓬松的丝线、
put up your little arms
and i’ll give them all to you to hold.
every finger shall have its ring
and there won’t be a single place dark or unhappy
举起你的小手
我就把它们都给你拿着。
每个手指都有戒指
没有一个地方是黑暗或不快乐的
then when you’re quite dressed
you’ll stand in the window for everyone to see
and how they’ll stare!
oh but you’ll be very proud
当你穿戴整齐
你会站在橱窗里让所有人看到
他们会目不转睛
哦,但你会非常自豪
and my little sister and i will take hands
and looking up at our beautiful tree
we’ll dance and sing
“Noel Noel”
我和妹妹手牵手
仰望我们美丽的树
我们会边跳边唱
"诺埃尔 诺埃尔"
备注
Noel: a word for ‘Christmas’ used especially in songs or on cards 圣诞节(尤用于歌曲和贺卡), 例:Joyful Noel 快乐的圣诞节
作者介绍
爱德华·埃斯特林·卡明斯(Edward Estlin Cummings)(1894-1962年),美国诗人。他的诗作大都没有标点和大写字母。他也经常将自己的名字写“e.e.cummings”。他还擅长创造不同寻常的排字效果和词语组合,经常使用俚语和爵士乐的韵律。
卡明斯出生在马萨诸塞州的坎布里奇。1915年毕业于哈佛大学,之后参加一战,加入法国的一支救护队。他被无端指责有通敌叛国之嫌,有几个月被法国政府关进集中营。这次经历为他日后创作小说《巨大的房间》(The Enormous Room)(1922年)提供了素材。

同行的朋友你好,我是严喆。好久好久不见,正在收听节目的你最近都还好吗?
今天的节目里我想和大家分享一首诗 Remember 是由美国本土女诗人,音乐家,剧作家Joy Harjo创作的。Joy通过这首诗阐释了人和万物生灵亲密无间的关系,语言清新易懂,蕴意却深长。想跟大家分享这首诗的初衷也是因为观察到身边的朋友每天都非常忙碌,为了生活而奔波,为了家庭而奋斗,为了自己的理想努力坚持。我想我们能做的就是彼此打气,在这个纷闹喧嚣的世界里找到自己内心的那一方净土,但在这个过程中我们也不要忘了要慢下来,停下来,去听一听鸟鸣,闻一闻花香,摸一摸大树。接下来请在听节目的你试着停下忙碌的脚步,静心下来,我读给你听。
Remember
《记得》
作者:Joy Harjo,翻译:严喆
Remember the sky that you were born under,
请记住你出生的苍穹
know each of the star’s stories.
了解每颗星星的故事
Remember the moon, know who she is.
请记住那明月,知道她是谁
Remember the sun’s birth at dawn, that is the strongest point of time.
请记住那日出,它是时间的起点

为你读英语美文 · 第508期
主播:罗斌
各位为你读英语美文的听众朋友大家好,好久不见,我是罗斌,在深圳向你问好。时隔一年,再次做起电台节目,跟大家聊聊天,读读文章,仿佛又一次进入了一个乌托邦世界,不知道电台那头的你这一年过得如何 ?
今天和大家分享的话题或许会有些沉重,但可能大多数人,或者身边人,都经历过,或者正在经历着,它就是【抑郁症depression】,根据世界卫生组织统计,全球约10亿人正在遭受精神障碍困扰,中国精神卫生调查显示,我国抑郁症患者人数为9500万,这并不是一个小数字。
在第77期节目《走出抑郁 Out of Shadows》中主播Benny也曾经做过一起关于抑郁症的节目,并分享了自己如何走出抑郁的故事,今天的节目里,我想继续为大家分享的一篇文章,是出自马修·约翰斯通Matthew Johnstone的治愈绘本作品I Have A Black Dog, 《我有一只黑狗》,而这只黑狗就是抑郁症。马修.约翰斯通曾是一名抑郁症患者,他用极其触动人心的洞察力和细腻柔软的笔触,让世人了解到与一只“黑狗”作伴是什么感觉,描绘了他如何与“黑狗”搏斗、向“黑狗”屈服到与“黑狗”和解、驾驭“黑狗”的心路历程。绘本一经出版便大受欢迎,引发了读者深度共鸣。
今天,我把它分享给你,希望能够带给你些许力量和启发,去面对这只黑狗。
I Have A Black Dog
《我有一只黑狗》
作者 Matthew Johnstone
翻译:中国日报双语新闻
I had a black dog. His name was Depression. Whenever the black dog made an appearance, I felt empty and life just seemed to slow down. He could surprise me with the visit for no reason or occasion. The back dog could make me look and feel older than my years.
我有一条黑狗,它名叫抑郁。黑狗一来,我就会感到空虚,生活百无聊赖。它会无缘无故突然造访,让我看起来,感觉起来,都像个老人。
When the rest of the world seemed to be enjoying life, I could only see it through the black dog. Activities that usually brought me pleasure suddenly ceased to. He liked to ruin my appetite. He chewed up my memory and my ability to concentrate. Doing anything or going anywhere with black dog required super human strength.
其他人在享受生活时,而我却只能和黑狗相伴,那些曾带给我快乐的事也提不起我的兴趣。它让我丧失食欲,蚕食我的记忆力,让我无法集中精神。拖着这条黑狗,我就什么事都不想做,哪里也不想去。
At social occasions, he would sniff out what confidence I had and chase it away. My biggest fear was being found out; I worried that people judge me. Because of the shame and stigma of the black dog, I was constantly worried about being found out.
社交场合里,它会驱走我残存的自信我最害怕的是被人知道,担心别人说三道四,黑狗带来的羞愧和耻辱,让我时刻担心会被发现。
So I invested a vast amount of energy into covering him up. Keeping up an emotional life is exhausting! Black dog could make me think and say negative things. He could make me irritable and difficult to be around. He would take my love and bury my intimacy.
因此我竭力掩盖,掩藏情绪的生活,让人精疲力竭黑狗让我消极地思考和言谈,它让我喜怒无常,难以相处,它夺走了我的爱,埋藏了温情。
He loved nothing more than to wake me up with highly reparative negative thinking. He also liked to remind me how exhausted I was going to be the next day.
它最爱在半夜把我唤醒,心中只有那些消极地念头,它还提醒着我将会面对对么心力交瘁的一天。
Having a black dog in your life isn’t so much about feeling a bit down, sad or blue...at its worst it’s about being devoid of feeling altogether.
生活中黑狗的跟随,不仅是些许失落,感伤,忧郁,最糟糕时,我根本已毫无知觉。
As I got older, the black dog got bigger and he started hanging around all the time. I'd chase him off with whatever I thought might send him running. But more often than not he'd come out on top. Going down became easier than getting up again.
我一天天老区,黑狗一点点长大,他开始时刻不离我的左右,我试图捡起家伙,想尽办法驱赶它,但获胜的往往是它,和重新站起来相比,躺倒变得更容易。
The black dog had finally succeeded in hijacking my life. When you lose all joy in life, you can begin to question what the point of it is.
黑狗终于劫走了我的生活,当生活不再有丝毫快乐,你便开始怀疑生命的意义。
Thankfully, this was the time that I sought professional help. This was my first step towards recovery and a major turning point in my life; I learnt that it doesn’t matter who you are the black dog affects millions and millions of people; it is an equal opportunity mongrel.
幸运的是,起就此打住,转而寻求专业帮助,那是我迈向康复的第一步,也是我人生的一大转折点我知道了,不管你是谁,无数人都会被它袭击,谁都可能在其阴影下生活。
I also learnt that there was no silver bullet or magic pill. Medication can help some and others might need a different approach altogether. I also learnt that being emotionally genuine and authentic to those who are close to you, can be an absolute game changer.
我还得知,没有什么灵丹妙药,药物对有些人有效,另一些人则需要完全不同的疗法,我还了解到,向亲近的人说出自己的真实感情,能起到关键的疗效。
Most importantly, I learnt not to be afraid of the black dog and I taught him a few new tricks of my own. The more tired and stressed you are the louder he barks, so it's important to learn how to quiet your mind.
最重要的是,我学会不再惧怕黑狗,甚至向它耍了一些自己的花招,你越疲劳,越紧张,黑狗就叫的越凶,所以学会让自己平静下来很重要。
It is clinically proven that regular exercise can be as effective in mild to moderate depression as antidepressant drugs. So go for a walk or run and leave the mutt behind.
临床试验证明,对缓解轻度和中度抑郁症,经常锻炼可以向吃药一样有效,所以去走走,去跑步吧,把那条笨狗甩开。
Keeping a mood journal or getting your thoughts on paper can be cathartic and often insightful. Also keep track of the things you have to be grateful for.
坚持写日记,把想法写下来是一种宣泄,有助于看清问题,当然,别忘了记下值得感恩的事。
The most important thing to remember is that no matter how bad it gets, if you take the right steps, talk to the right people, black dog days can and will pass.
最重要的是,记住,无论情况多糟,只要你用对方法,找到合适的人求助,被黑狗笼罩的日子,一定会过去。
I wouldn't say that I am grateful for the black dog. But he has been an incredible teacher. He forced me to re-evaluate and simplify my life. I learnt that rather than running away from my problems, it is better to embrace them.
我不会说我感谢这条黑狗,但它确实是个神奇的老师,它迫使我反思生活,活得简单点,我认识到,尤其逃避问题,还不如直接面对它,黑狗或许将永远是我生命的一部分,但它再不会是以前的那只野兽了。我们达成了理解。我知道了,学习知识,耐心,自律和幽默,再凶狠的黑狗也可以被制伏。
The black dog may always be a part of my life. But he would never be the beast that it was. We have an understanding. I've learnt through knowledge, patience, discipline and humour, the worst black dog can be made to heel.
黑狗或许永远会是我生命的一部分,但它不再是那只凶猛的野兽,我们达成了理解。我了解到,通过知识,耐心,克制和幽默,再凶猛的黑狗也能被制服。
If you are in difficulty, never be afraid to ask for help. There is absolutely no shame in doing so; the only shame is missing out of life.
如果你也陷入了困境,一定不要害怕求助,这并不是什么丢人的事,只有错过生活才是最大的遗憾。
每个人都或多或少有抑郁的情绪,就如作者说的,这条黑狗或许永远都会成为我们生命的一部分,如果正在收听节目的你,察觉到了身边的黑狗很大,那么我想告诉你的是,承认它的存在和强大并不是羞耻的事情,重要的是学会面对它,理解它,拥抱它,让自身变得积极强大,总有一天,这只黑狗会被我们驯服,而与它相处的过程,也终将我们成为人生中一笔宝贵的经历和财富。
各位听众朋友们,本期的节目就到这里,我是罗斌,我们下期再会。

The Endless
《漫长的》
作者:班宇,翻译:ChatGPT 3.5
Snap your fingers, he said,
Let's make a resonating snap,
distant things will shatter,
the people before us are still unaware.
打个响指吧,他说
我们打个共鸣的响指
遥远的事物将被震碎
面前的人们此时尚不知情
Whistle, I said,
You, whistle a slanted tune
like iron, then a needle,
the magnetic arc brushes the green glass.
吹个口哨吧,我说
你来吹个斜斜的口哨
像一块铁然后是一枚针
磁极的弧线拂过绿玻璃
Have a sip of water, and glance at the river,
calm in its tranquility, turbulent in its storm,
we miss a step,
a tiny tear drops on the stone,
it won’t dry up for a long time.
喝一杯水吧,也看一看河
在平静时平静,不平静时
我们就错过了一层台阶
一小颗眼泪滴在石头上
很长时间也不会干涸
The whole season encases it in amber,
flowing in chunks, specific radiance,
behind it, distant things reside.
整个季节将它结成了琥珀
块状的流淌,具体的光芒
在它身后是些遥远的事物
世间小人物的命运,在《漫长的季节》中浮浮沉沉。他们没有什么人生大事要实现,也不是要做什么成功之路的主角,只不过在悲哀的磅秤上大家拥有同样的分量。唯一公平的是,不管失去至亲还是被霸凌、被侵害,当秋日爽朗的天空有一片明媚的阳光出现,它会照耀所有人,为他们带来片刻抚慰,仿佛某一刻美好会凝固为永恒。时代的琥珀里,最珍贵最动人的部分,是真情与道义的坚守,是历尽千帆、问心无愧后的“往前看,别回头”。

大家好,我是Susie,欢迎收听为你读英语美文。
这些天来,各类战争新闻、消息报导不断,让人扼腕叹息的同时,也深深感到这个世界并不太平,战争其实离我们并没有那么遥远。对普通人来说,战争永远是残酷的,那是一种长久的伤痛,这种伤痛会跨越时间、空间,甚至跨越世代。
今天想要和大家分享的,是来自叶芝的一首诗——《一个爱尔兰飞行员预见他的死亡》。这首诗的主角是罗伯特·格雷戈里(Robert Gregory, 1881-1918),叶芝写了四首关于他的诗,其中三首是挽歌。格雷戈里是叶芝一位密友的独子,他战死于第一次世界大战。在战争中,他所驾驶的飞机不幸被“友军的炮火”击落。
这首诗设定在格雷戈里去世前的那个时刻,诗人以大胆的姿态附身于格雷戈里,试图借由飞行员的独白,解释他能够预见危险、却依然这么做的缘由。死神也许随时会降临,年轻的飞行员别无选择,尽管害怕,尽管留恋,他们也不得不假装坦然接受死亡、抱着活着回来的信念赴死而战。
An Irish Airman Foresees His Death
《一个爱尔兰飞行员预见他的死亡》
作者: W.B Yeats
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
我清楚我将邂逅宿命
在某个云深高处;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
我与交战者并无怨恨,
对所捍卫者亦无爱恋;
My county is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
我的故乡在基尔塔坦,
那里的穷人是我的同胞,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
输赢于他们并无损减,
也不会使他们生活更好。
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
我不为律法、不为职责而战,
也不为领袖和欢呼的民众,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
独有的一念兴起
驱我卷入这喧嚣的云雾;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
我回想一切,在心中权衡,
将来的岁月似毫无意义,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.
毫无意义的是身后经年,
在这生死瞬间 二者轻重同一。
战争是一面镜子,它能够让我们更好地认识和平的可贵。我们应该庆幸,我们身处于一个相对和平、稳定的社会,更应该感恩和珍惜我们现在所拥有的一切,认真去对待每一天,好好地生活。
今天的节目就到这里,感谢聆听,我们下期再见。

主播:永清
Hello,好久不见,我是永清,欢迎收听为你读英语美文,我在家乡云南蒙自向你问好。最近,秋天带来阵阵凉意,石榴树上挂满了果子,釉质的外皮闪着柔和的光。记得几天前它们还都是绿色的,不知何时就红了脸,秋天,赋予了石榴最甜美的滋味。站在石榴树下,我想起了英国诗人济慈的作品《秋颂》。1819年的秋天,济慈漫步于田野,秋高气爽,刚收割过的田地温暖明亮,诗人感到心旷神怡,于是有了这首诗。
To Autumn
《秋颂》节选
作者:John Keats,译者:查良铮
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun,
雾气洋溢,果实圆熟的秋,
你和成熟的太阳成为友伴;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
你们密谋用累累的珠球,
缀满茅檐下的葡萄藤蔓;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
使屋前的老树背负着苹果,
让熟味透进果实的心中,
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
使葫芦胀大,鼓起了榛子壳,
好塞进甜核;又为了蜜蜂
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.
一次一次开放过迟的花朵,
使它们以为日子将永远暖和,
因为夏季早填满它们黏巢。
石榴园的石榴树是姐夫母亲40多年前种下的,当时的小树苗已经成长为大树,虽然姐夫的母亲已过世多年,石榴依旧硕果累累,滋养着后人。从春天的花朵,到夏天结果,秋天成熟,既有果农的辛劳,大自然也把熟味透进果实的心中。看着一颗颗果实,我有一种踏实感。春耕,夏长,秋收,冬藏。这是大自然的规律,也是我们做事的规律,一棵石榴树从种下到收获果实需要好几年的时间;为什么我们刚投入,就迫切地想要得到成果呢?其实,无论工作,读书,投资,锻炼身体,做节目…任何长期主义的事,我们都要做好过程,这个过程可能曲折又漫长,我们需要耐心,需要坚持,需要接纳和拥抱这个过程。我们能控制的只有过程,至于结果,存在很多不确定因素,我们无法控制,但我相信有好的过程,结果自然也不会太差,哪怕结果差强人意,我们尽力了也不会有太多遗憾。如愿,则喜;不如意,则获经历。
梭罗说:“The value of any experience is measured, of course, not by the amount of money, but the amount of development we get out of it. 衡量任何一项活动的价值都不能凭它最后盈利多少,而应该看从中得到多少长进。”总是播种,常常期待,有时收获。这里是为你读英语美文,我是永清,我们下期再会。

主播:永清
Part 1. 纪录片
永志从来不敢在下课时间去上厕所,因为有些同学总是笑他娘娘腔,趁他上厕所时,强脱他的裤子检查他是不是女生。
2000年4月20日,15岁的永志在下课前五分钟离开教室去上厕所,结果被发现倒卧血泊中,送医后仍不治过世。
校方在未报案情况下,迳自将厕所血迹洗掉。
经过六年上诉,法院改判学校三名主管业务过失致死罪。
Part 2.《玫瑰少年》
亲爱的朋友你好,我是永清,欢迎收听为你读英语美文,刚才你听到的是玫瑰少年叶永志的故事,原声出自《玫瑰少年》的纪录片。永志因为女性化,被老师说不正常,让妈妈带去看心理医生,心理医生对永志的妈妈说:“如果觉得他这样不正常的人,他本身就不正常。” 后来,永志被同学霸凌致死,年仅15岁。
我是哭着看完纪录片的,永志的经历我非常感同身受,我小学的时候也有些娘,被同学骂“人妖”,“妖童”,“大姨娘”,被同学栽赃,被邻居的孩子欺负,甚至莫名其妙地被打。这样的经历一直持续到青春期,我变得没有那么娘了,我考上了高中去了尖子班,而欺负我的同学都没有考上,才慢慢好起来。
这让我明白,欺负和自己不一样和看起来好欺负的人,是人的本性;不欺负才是教养。也让我明白,教育系统的筛选功能很强大,努力学习,不仅能改变自己的命运,还能筛选掉身边的人渣。曾经,我作为某种少数被人欺负,这样让我更有同理心,去包容和接纳和自己不一样的人。曾经,我因为弱小被人欺负,现在,我长大了,我依旧和大多数人不一样,但谁也别想再欺负我。
蔡依林的《玫瑰少年》让我们知道叶永志的故事,“永志不忘记念,往事不如烟。
生而为人无罪,你不需要抱歉。”
Can someone tell me who decides our body?
Cause this body ain’t me,
Got my soul in Purgatory.
Everybody hurting and talking
But it's only lust we're creating
No, you ain't guilty
This is how the world is
Everything you could be
Ain't no room for "sorry"
One day I could be you
Baby boy, you could be me
When the world is screaming
Just shut up and hold me
I wish that I could hug you
Till you really really be free
Diversity shows our true beauty
Even if the world cuts you deep
Best revenge is serenity
And nobody can set yourself free
But whoever you want to be
I'll love you, unconditionally.
谁把谁的灵魂,装进谁的身体?
谁把谁的身体变成囹圄囚禁自己?
乱世总是最不缺耳语
哪种美丽会唤来妒忌
你并没有罪,有罪是这世界
生而为人无罪,你不需要抱歉
喧哗如果不停,让我陪你安静
哪朵玫瑰没有荆棘?
最好的报复是美丽
最美的盛开是反击
别让谁去改变了你
你是你或是妳都行
会有人全心的爱你
作词:蔡依林,阿信,英文版:Mitch Joseph
Part 3. 结语
《玫瑰少年》获得第30届金曲奖年度歌曲。在获奖时,蔡依林说:“叶永志提醒了我,在任何情况我都可能成为某种少数,所以我更要用同理心,去爱任何我身边的人。这首歌献给所有曾经认为自己完全没有机会、没有选择的你,你一定要记得选择你自己,支持你自己。”
关于这首歌,蔡依林还说过:“其实,包括我自己在内,从小到大,我们都在寻找大家的认同;这社会认同我吗?老师认同我吗?我的朋友认同我吗?我的家人认同我吗?然后,我们被教育著什么叫正常,什么是对的。但是,很少被教育我们要有一颗包容心,学会接纳。先从接纳自己开始,然后,接纳所有的可能性,也许,发生在你身边很特别的事情,不代表你是很奇怪的,当你有对象可以倾诉的时候,那是你开始接纳你自己的那一刻。我相信永志在跟妈妈说他在学校发生的事的时候,他其实也在怀疑自己。所以他的故事也希望鼓励大家,多一份包容心,先认同你自己,也许你真的不一样,但是,那又怎样。当你懂自己而且不为别人活的时候,就可以伸出手帮助身边的人。”
