　　Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about variety of things--all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns dominate your present moments, so much so that we end up anxious,frustrated,depressed,and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing that "someday" will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that 'someday' never actually arrives. Jhon Lennone once said, "Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans." When we are busy making 'other plans', our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.

　　毫無疑問，我們很多人掌握了一種神經兮兮的藝術，即把生活中的大部分時間花在為種種事情擔心憂慮上--而且常常是同時憂慮許多事情.我們聽憑過去的麻煩和未來的擔心控制我們此時此刻的生活，以至我們整日焦慮不安，委靡不振，甚至沮喪絕望.而另一方面我們又推遲我們的滿足感，推遲我們應優先考慮的事情，推遲我們的幸福感，常常說服自己"有朝一日"會比今天更好.不幸的是，如此告戒我們朝前看的大腦動力只能重複來重複去，以至"有朝一日"喲貧農公元不會真的來臨.約翰.列儂曾經說過："生活就是當我們忙於制定別的計劃時發生的事."當我們忙於指定種種"別的計劃"時，我們的孩子在忙於長大，我們摯愛的人裡去了甚至快去世了，我們的體型變樣了，而我們的夢想也在消然溜走了.一句話，我們錯過了生活.

　　I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street. Yesterday a beggar knocked at my door. He asked me for a meal and a glass of beer. In return for this, the beggar stood on his head and sang songs. I gave him a meal. He ate the food and drank the beer. Then he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and went away. Later a neighbour told me about him. Everybody knows him. His name is Percy Buttons. He calls at every house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer.

　　我剛剛搬進了大橋街的一所房子。昨天一個乞丐來敲我的門。他問我要一頓飯和一杯啤酒。作為回報，那乞丐頭頂地倒立起來，唱起了歌。我給了他一頓飯。他吃的食物和喝啤酒。然後他把一塊乳酪放在口袋裡，走了。後來的一位鄰居告訴了我他的情況。每個人都知道他。他的名字叫佩爾西。他這條街上的每戶每月一次，而且總是要一頓飯和一杯啤酒。

　　I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice springs, a small town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin. From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother has never been abroad before, so he is fending this trip very exciting.

　　我剛剛收到弟弟的來信，提姆。他在澳大利亞。他有六個月了。提姆是一個工程師。他是一家大公司工作，他已經訪問了許多不同的地方在澳大利亞。他剛買了一輛汽車和澳大利亞已經向愛麗絲斯普林斯，一個小鎮的中心，澳大利亞。他將很快訪問達爾文。從那裡，他再飛往珀斯。我兄弟從來沒有出過國，因此他覺得這次旅行非常激動。
