<B>Love Your Life</B> <BR> 热爱生活 <BR> Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗 <BR>However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.<BR>It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.<BR>You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.<BR>The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.<BR>I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.<BR>The town’s poor seem to me often to live the most in dependent lives of any.<BR>May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.<BR>Most think that they are above being supported by the town;<BR>but it of ten happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.<BR>which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.<BR>Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.<BR>Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. <BR> <BR> 不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。<BR><BR> 我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
