雙語(yǔ)閱讀：靜心看世界

　　以下是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編整理的哲理類英語(yǔ)美文欣賞：靜心看世界， 希望對(duì)你有所感觸。

　　I was sitting outside my new home yesterday (we just moved last week, and we love the newplace), watching the world go by.

　　昨天，我坐在我的新房子外面(上周我們剛搬家，我們都很喜歡這個(gè)新地方)，看著眼前這個(gè)世界匆匆而過(guò)。

　　There were people in cars, in a hurry to get to their next appointment. There were birds flyingby, insects just as busy as the people in cars, plants and weeds thriving in the humid Guamclimate.

　　人們坐在車?yán)?，急急忙忙趕赴下一場(chǎng)約會(huì)。鳥(niǎo)兒飛過(guò)，蟲(chóng)兒也像坐在車?yán)锏哪切┤艘粯用β?。在Guam(關(guān)島)潮濕的氣候下，花草樹(shù)木茁壯成長(zhǎng)。

　　Inside the house, my children were also busy, as ever, making a mess of the house (which mywife and I would soon clean up), getting into things, their natural curiosity overpowering ourprevious pleas for them not to play with lotion or take things apart.

　　房子里，孩子們也忙得很，和往常一樣，屋里被弄得亂七八糟(我和妻子一會(huì)兒還要打掃清理)，對(duì)任何事物都感興趣，他們天生的好奇心讓我和妻子實(shí)在沒(méi)辦法，絲毫不顧我們之前的告誡，玩洗滌劑，把東西都拆了玩。

　　The sky was slightly overcast and there was a cool breeze, quite strong and pleasant actually.

　　天空有些多云，嗖嗖涼風(fēng)，風(fēng)力強(qiáng)勁，但確實(shí)令人感到舒適。

　　It’s not often that most of us just sit quietly, and allow the world to pass us by.

　　我們大多數(shù)人，都很少能靜靜地坐下來(lái)，看著這個(gè)世界，與我們擦身而過(guò)。

　　Why not?

　　為什么不能呢?

　　What is so important that it can’t wait until later? What email must be answered right thismoment? Do we really need to read all those articles online, all those messages from others, allthose newspapers and magazines? Do we need to have the television and radio and Internet onall the time?

　　有什么重要的事不能等會(huì)兒再做?什么電子郵件一定要此刻回復(fù)?我們真的必須要閱讀網(wǎng)上所有的文章，別人發(fā)來(lái)的所有短信，還有所有的報(bào)紙和雜志嗎?我們需要一直看電視、聽(tīng)收音機(jī)、上網(wǎng)嗎?

　　Is life passing us by as we keep our minds super-busy? Are we missing out on the beautifulworld around us as we constantly think about the future — what we need to do, our anxietiesabout what might happen — and the past — what we did wrong, what someone else did to us,what we said, what should have happened?

　　有沒(méi)有想過(guò)，當(dāng)我們的大腦瘋狂忙碌的時(shí)侯，生活正在我們身邊悄然離去?我們不斷地思考未來(lái)——我們需要做什么，我們擔(dān)憂可能會(huì)發(fā)生的事——還有，過(guò)去犯下的錯(cuò)誤，別人對(duì)我們做了什么，我們說(shuō)了些什么，應(yīng)該發(fā)生些什么——有沒(méi)有想過(guò)，所有的這些，令我們錯(cuò)過(guò)了身邊美麗的世界?

　　When was the last time you just sat, and observed? Why not do it today?

　　上一次你坐下來(lái)，靜觀這個(gè)世界是什么時(shí)候的事了?為什么不今天就付之行動(dòng)呢?
