人们为了各自的目标和向往的生活，每一刻都奔波在路上：下班、吃饭、睡觉休息、然后起床上班……如此周而复始，我们的每一天每一刻似乎都已经安排妥当。这一切使我们每一刻看起来似乎都很忙碌，却没有给思考留下多少时间。

可这样的生活模式是否正确呢，我们在铆足了劲朝着目标前进的时候是不是忽略了一些东西呢？相信读完下面这篇英语美文，你大概会重新重视思考的力量！





❆如果有来生

If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.

如果有来生，我会少说，多听

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.

我会请朋友来家吃饭，即便地毯脏了，沙发褪色了。

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

我会抽时间听祖父絮叨他的青年时代





I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

我不会因为刚刚把头发梳理定型而要求在夏天关上车窗。

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

我会点燃那支雕成玫瑰状的蜡烛，而不让它在尘封中熔化。

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

我会与孩子们坐在草地上，不去担心草地上的污渍。

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

我会把泪水和笑声更多地留给观察人生，而不是观看电视。





I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day.

如果生病了，我会卧床休息，而不是自认没有我，地球就不转了。

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.

我不会买那些仅仅是实用，或者不显脏，或者保证能用一生的东西。

There would have been more 'I love yous' ... more 'I’m sorrys'... but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.

我会更多地说“我爱你”……“对不起”……然而，最重要的是，如果有来生，会抓住每一秒……看人生，读人生……体验人生……再也不放手。

想想童年的我们，玩累了时常捧着头发呆；晚上会仰着脖子看着星空；看到新鲜事物会充满好奇和了解它的冲动……我们总说儿时的自己最纯真，最可爱。我想，其中除了没有杂念之外，大概就是我们总是习惯性的思考一些事物吧，你觉得呢？
