生活的真諦：幸福（雙語(yǔ)）

約翰·列儂說(shuō)：“在我5歲的時(shí)候，我的母親總對(duì)我說(shuō)，生活重要的是幸福。我上學(xué)時(shí)，他們問(wèn)我長(zhǎng)大了想做什么。我寫下了“幸福”這個(gè)詞。他們說(shuō)我不懂這個(gè)詞的含義，我說(shuō)他們對(duì)生活不理解。”

I really believe that happiness is the key of life. I've been asked so many times during interviews, when did I decide that I wanted to be a singer. I came to realize that I actually have never made that decision.

我真的認(rèn)為幸福是生活的關(guān)鍵所在。在我決定想成為一名歌手的時(shí)候，在多次的采訪中也被問(wèn)到這個(gè)問(wèn)題。我開始意識(shí)到，其實(shí)我從來(lái)就沒(méi)有作出要當(dāng)歌手這個(gè)決定。

The only thing I actually always wanted to be was "happy." It happens that part of my being happy is singing and performing.

其實(shí)我一直都想讓自己活得“幸?？鞓?lè)”。碰巧唱歌和表演是我幸?？鞓?lè)生活的一部分而已。

What is happiness? For some is fame, for some is love, for some is money, for some is health. So, is happiness something we don't have? How can we be happy if to be happy we need something we don't have? There will always be something we don't have.

幸福是什么?有的人認(rèn)為是名聲，有的人認(rèn)為是愛情，有的人認(rèn)為是金錢，有的人認(rèn)為是健康。這么說(shuō)的話，幸福是我們所不具備的東西?當(dāng)我們的快樂(lè)需要建立在擁有自己沒(méi)有的東西時(shí)，我們要怎么才能快樂(lè)呢?然而總是存在那么一些東西是我們所沒(méi)有的。

I came to realize that they are happy not because they have all they want, but because they are passionate about something and that puts their mind in that state of happiness. They are happy because they do something they love. Because they are working on something they believe in.

我開始意識(shí)到他們能幸?？鞓?lè)不是因?yàn)樗麄儞碛辛艘磺凶约合胍?，而是因?yàn)樗麄儗?duì)事物充滿激情，他們的想法總是處于幸福的狀態(tài)。他們幸?？鞓?lè)因?yàn)樗麄冏鲆恍┳约合矚g做的事情。因?yàn)樗麄儗?duì)自己所做的事情充滿信心。

They are willing to take risks to pursue something. They don't mind to sacrifice something to get where they want to go and to do what they want to do. They are fearless. I've seen a lot of starving artists and dreamers being so happy in what you can call "misery" if measured in wealth.

他們?cè)敢饷半U(xiǎn)去追求一些東西。他們不介意做出一些犧牲，去一個(gè)自己想去的地方，去做自己想做的事。他們無(wú)所畏懼。我看過(guò)很多如饑似渴的藝術(shù)家、夢(mèng)想家活得如此幸?？鞓?lè)，如果用財(cái)富來(lái)衡量的話，他們可謂是“窮光蛋”。

Happy people often don't settle for a comfortable life. They are going for an exceptional life.

幸?？鞓?lè)的人往往不滿足于舒適的生活現(xiàn)狀。他們會(huì)追求一種別樣的生活方式。

They carve their own path and don't follow the crowd. They follow their heart. They follow their passion. They get highly criticized and widely loved with the same magnitude. Like for instance great humanitarian Mother Theresa she was loved and criticized during her life and after her death. She was a believer and she was happy because she was following her beliefs. And she was happy for that, so that she could even forget about her physical pain.

他們雕刻自己的生活軌跡而不隨波逐流，他們追隨著自己的內(nèi)心，他們滿懷熱情，遭受對(duì)等的嚴(yán)厲批判和廣泛愛戴。比如，偉大的人道主義者德蘭修女，她的生前和死后既受到世人的愛戴又受到眾人的指責(zé)批評(píng)。她是一名信徒，她因?yàn)橛兄约旱男叛龆畹眯腋？鞓?lè)。而且她對(duì)自己的信仰感到幸?？鞓?lè)，這樣，她甚至可以忘記自己身體上的疼痛。

Happiness is something we have to find within ourselves. Happiness should be the journey toward something we want not the end destination of that journey. I have big dreams and there are so many things I want to have and achieve. I'm happy because I'm working on having and achieving what I love.

幸?？鞓?lè)是我們需要從內(nèi)心去挖掘的東西。幸?？鞓?lè)應(yīng)該是一段追尋的旅程而不是旅程的重點(diǎn)。我有遠(yuǎn)大的理想，有很多東西我都想要去擁有和實(shí)現(xiàn)。我很快樂(lè)，是因?yàn)槲艺趭^斗，為了擁有和實(shí)現(xiàn)我想要的。

One of my idols is French singer Edith Piaff. She used to say "For me singing is a way of escaping. I'm no longer on earth."

我其中的一名偶像是法國(guó)歌手伊迪絲·琵雅芙。她曾說(shuō)過(guò)，“對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，唱歌是我的一種解脫方式，仿佛隔絕了世界。”

That is essentially what music is for me. When I'm on a stage singing I'm in a perfect world, in a perfect state of mind. I'm basically happy.

對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，這就是音樂(lè)的本質(zhì)所在。當(dāng)我在舞臺(tái)上唱歌的時(shí)候，我活在一個(gè)完美的世界里，我的心理狀態(tài)非常美好，我很幸福很快樂(lè)。

It is incredible how we can forget about our pain and sorrows when we concentrate and we are doing something we love, something important that we really want to do. Even the most miserable day can be a happy day. I'm sure it has happen to you too.

我們是如何做到在集中精力去做些我們喜歡的事情、重要的事情、我們真正想做的事情時(shí)，可以全然忘記我們的痛苦和悲傷，這太不可思議了。即使是最悲催的一天也可以是最幸福的一天。我相信你也有過(guò)這樣的經(jīng)歷。

I remember watching them on stage one opening night. It was incredible: those dancers were so gracious and everything looked like it was easy, natural. Heavenly beautiful. Perfect.

我記得有一個(gè)夜晚我看過(guò)一場(chǎng)驚艷的演出：那些舞者端莊高雅、整個(gè)畫面輕盈自然，美好神圣、完美動(dòng)人。

Those beautiful ballerinas had elastic bands and patches all over their body. I saw them taking out those pretty ballerina and their feet were bleeding. But, somehow as soon as they were stepping into that stage, the smile was on their faces and they were making everything look effortless and so beautiful. When they were leaving the stage for a change of costume some of them were limping. But they seemed not to care about it. They needed to go back on stage and so they did.

那些美麗的芭蕾舞演員全身纏滿綁帶。在他們脫掉了漂亮的芭蕾舞鞋時(shí)，我看到他們的腳流血了。但是，他們一旦步入踏上舞臺(tái)，他們面帶笑容，一切都看起來(lái)和諧美麗，輕盈自然。在他們離開舞臺(tái)換了服裝，有些舞者走路是一瘸一拐的。但他們貌似并不在意，他們需要回到舞臺(tái)上表演，他們對(duì)于生活就是這樣的態(tài)度。

After the show you could see those bleeding feet coming out of the ballerina shoes and those elastic bands and patches being put back in. But their faces were radiant. They had just danced and the audience loved it. They were really happy.

演出結(jié)束后，你會(huì)看到那一雙又一雙流著血的雙腳，血從芭蕾舞鞋中滲出，血從裹著的繃帶中滲出。但是他們的臉上洋溢著幸福的光環(huán)。他們舞蹈了，觀眾喜愛，他們就感覺(jué)很幸福很快樂(lè)。

With that kind of injures most of us would have been crying in bed. Instead they were smiling and having a celebration.

我們大多數(shù)人在受害時(shí)會(huì)躺在床上哭。而他們卻選擇微笑面對(duì)，而且還把它當(dāng)做一件值得慶祝的事情來(lái)看待。

Be happy even if in the toughest and miserable moments of my life. Why? Because I just know that there is no perfection also not in happiness and the pursuit of it involves risks, pain, rejections, sweat and tears. And so I look around every day and I find reasons to be happy in so many little things.

即使在我們生命里最艱難和痛苦的時(shí)刻也要記得快樂(lè)。為什么?因?yàn)槲抑朗篱g無(wú)完美，幸福也是如此，追求它就會(huì)伴隨著風(fēng)險(xiǎn)、疼痛、拒絕、汗水和眼淚。所以我每天在周圍的很多小事情上去尋找讓我自己幸?？鞓?lè)的理由。

To be happy is after all what we all want. More money, more success, more love or more fame.

畢竟幸福是我們都想要追求的東西。追求更多的金錢，追求更大的成功，追求愛情，追求名聲。

Let's go for it and be fearless....we can loose money, fame, love but not happiness!!

讓我們無(wú)所畏懼地放手去追尋它吧!....我們可以可以沒(méi)有金錢，沒(méi)有名聲，沒(méi)有愛情，但是不能不幸福!!
