英語美文朗讀 第568期 Be yourself

The truth is, you will never win in life by being someone you are not. You cannot, EVER, live the life of your dreams by settling for someone else's idea of what you should be doing with your life.

 

事實上，如果你想成為的人不是你自己，那么你就無法取得成功。如果，你按照別人對你的看法來活著，那么，你就永遠(yuǎn)不會活出自己夢想中的樣子。

 

You will never, EVER, be happy, if you change who you are to fit in with others. Until you accept, and embrace who you are, you are destined to live a life at only a mere fraction of your potential.

如果你為了迎合他人而改變自己，那么，你永遠(yuǎn)不會快樂，你注定只能發(fā)揮自己的一小部分潛能，除非你發(fā)自內(nèi)心地接受你自己、擁抱你自己。

 

It is simply impossible to be genuinely happy, when you are not genuinely yourself. You must be yourself if you want to experience your true purpose in life.

如果你活得不真實，那么，你不可能獲得真正的快樂。如果你想追求真正的人生目標(biāo)，那么你首先要成為你自己。

 

If you're different, BE DIFFERENT. Be different and DO IT WITH PRIDE. If someone doesn't like it, if many people don't like it, who cares? Those aren't the people for you. There is BETTER. The RIGHT people will show up when the REAL YOU comes out.

如果你與眾不同，那就與眾不同吧。與眾不同，并對此感到驕傲。如果有個人不喜歡你這樣，如果很多人都不喜歡你這樣，又何必在意呢？他們注定與你無緣，有更好的人在等著你。當(dāng)你活出了真正的自己，和你志同道合的人就會出現(xiàn)。

 

There will always be someone prettier. There will always be someone smarter, stronger, richer, younger. But there will never be another you.

長得比你好看的人，有很多。比你聰明、比你強(qiáng)壯、比你富有、比你年輕的人，都有很多。但是，你，是獨(dú)一無二的。

 

Kurt Cobain once said, I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not. The truth is, you will never be hated by the RIGHT people for being REAL. Being REAL, being yourself is the greatest filter you could ever use. It instantly filters out all the people that don't belong with you. And at the same time, it reveals those who do.

Kurt Cobain曾經(jīng)說過，我寧愿活出真實的自己而被別人討厭，也不愿意活得虛偽而討人喜歡。事實上，真正和你有緣的人，不會因為你太真實而討厭你。真實地做自己，這是最好的過濾器。它不停地過濾掉那些和你無緣的人，并且讓你看到哪些人與你有緣。

 

Bob Marley said, the problem is people are being hated when they are real and loved when they are fake. It's true, but what is missed here is one very important fact. The people that are hating people being real are fake people. And the people that are loving fake people are the same fake people.

Bob Marley曾說，問題在于，人們展現(xiàn)最真實的自我時，會被憎恨，而他們戴上虛偽的面具時，卻會被喜愛。沒錯，但是，人們忘了一個很重要的事實，那就是，討厭別人真實的人，他們自己就是虛偽的人。喜歡別人虛偽的人，也同樣是這些虛偽的人。

 

REAL recognizes REAL. REAL recognizes FAKE. So, who do you want to attract? FAKE people, or REAL people? Be yourself, and I promise you, eventually you will attract the right people.

真實的人，欣賞真實。虛偽的人，偏愛虛偽。那么，你想吸引什么樣的人？虛偽的人，還是真實的人？做你自己吧。我保證，你最終會吸引到對的人。

 

Be yourself. No matter what has happened to you, no matter who has hurt you, no matter what you believe, be yourself and be kind to others. If you do that, LIFE will turn out far greater than you ever thought possible. If you don't, life will be painful, because living a life with a mask on, you can't see. Living a life trying to fit in, you will never.

做你自己，無論發(fā)生了什么，無論誰傷害了你，無論你的信仰是什么，都要真實地做自己，對別人善良。如果你能這樣做，生活會比你想象的更精彩。如果你不這樣做，生活就會很痛苦，因為，如果你戴著面具生活，你就什么都看不清。如果你很努力地融入某個圈子，那你永遠(yuǎn)也無法成為他們的一份子。

 

Living a life trying to be someone else, so other people will like you, you might fit in on the outside, but inside you'll never be complete. You'll never be happy.

如果你活著只是為了努力變成別人的樣子，想讓別人喜歡你，那么，從表面上看，你好像確實融入了，但是，事實上，你的內(nèi)心永遠(yuǎn)不會完滿，你永遠(yuǎn)不會快樂。
