摘要:它稱作生活經(jīng)歷也好或者艱苦的生活磨練也好，到了50歲時(shí)，我們都會(huì)意識(shí)到哪個(gè)決定是好的，哪個(gè)決定是滿意的，這些都是年輕天真的結(jié)果。但是無(wú)論你是堅(jiān)定的相信“事出有因”，還是希望谷歌的天才們可以設(shè)計(jì)出時(shí)光機(jī)器，你可能已經(jīng)從你的失敗中學(xué)習(xí)到了一些事情。

　　We asked our Huff/Post50 Facebook fans what they wish they'd known at 25 that they know now. Here's what they said every 20-something ought to know about life.

　　我們?cè)儐?wèn)了50位Huff/Post Facebook上的粉絲，他們希望25歲時(shí)知道哪些現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)知道的。下面是他們說(shuō)的一些20多歲的人應(yīng)該知道的關(guān)于生活的一些事情。

　　1 Know when to walk away.

　　知道什么時(shí)候離開(kāi)。

　　Many readers voiced that walking away, while it may be a difficult decision, is sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself. And the quicker you can come to this realization, the more you can save yourself from making up for lost time.

　　許多讀者聲稱離開(kāi)，雖然它可能會(huì)是一個(gè)困難的決定，但是有時(shí)候也是你可以為自己做的最好的事情。并且你明白的越快，你免于彌補(bǔ)失去的時(shí)間就越多。

　　2 Speak up more.

　　大膽說(shuō)出自己的想法。

　　As the saying goes, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. You are your one and only true advocate, so never be afraid to stand up for yourself and speak your mind, because regret's a b****.

　　俗話說(shuō)的好，會(huì)叫的騾子多吃草。你是自己唯一并且最真實(shí)的支持者，所以不要害怕支持你自己和說(shuō)出你的想法，因?yàn)楹蠡诳蓯u。

　　3. Save more money.

　　存更多的錢(qián)。

　　Retirement is no joke, as you'll learn by 50. As you stare at the bleak reality of your 401K, you might find yourself counting every nickel and dime you wasted on frivolous expenses. So pack your lunch, find street parking (or take the bus) and remember that a penny saved is a penny earned, as cheesy as it sounds.

　　當(dāng)你50歲時(shí)，你會(huì)學(xué)到退休不是開(kāi)玩笑。當(dāng)你注釋401K這一慘淡的現(xiàn)實(shí)時(shí)，你可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己計(jì)算浪費(fèi)在零碎開(kāi)支上的每一分錢(qián)。所以，自帶午餐，尋找街道停車位(或乘公共汽車)，并且記住省一文就得一文，聽(tīng)起來(lái)很棒。

　　4. Re-think a college major.

　　重新思考一下大學(xué)專業(yè)。

　　A few readers mentioned how they wish they'd re-considered their choice of college major, or even thought twice before dropping out.

　　少數(shù)讀者提到，他們希望重新考慮選擇大學(xué)專業(yè)，或者在退學(xué)前甚至再三考慮。

　　5. Travel more.

　　多旅行。

　　You're only young once. So before you get tied down by responsibilities of a mortgage, a spouse and kids, it's a good idea to explore the world and all it has to offer (as long as it doesn't break the bank!). Consider working abroad. Visit the city you dream about all day. Just go somewhere that will make you look up and around rather than down at your smartphone.

　　你只會(huì)年輕一次。所以，在你被抵押貸款、配偶和孩子的責(zé)任束縛前，探險(xiǎn)世界和它提供的一切是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的主意(只要它不會(huì)傾家蕩產(chǎn)!)?？紤]到國(guó)外工作。參觀你整天夢(mèng)想的城市。去一些可以讓你觀看周圍一切的地方，而不是在智能手機(jī)上下載的。

　　6. Incur less debt.

　　借較少的債務(wù)。

　　Don't buy things you don't need and think long and hard before getting a credit card. No matter what they tell you, it's not free money, and no matter how high the limit, you shouldn't go blow it all on designer duds and a fancy vacation. Debt sucks in any form. Instead, focus on building a solid credit history and credit score so you can finally nab a killer interest rate when you go sign a mortgage.

　　不要買(mǎi)你不需要的東西，在申請(qǐng)信用卡前長(zhǎng)時(shí)間沉入思考下。無(wú)論他們告訴你什么，它不是免費(fèi)的，并且無(wú)論她告訴你最高限額是多少，你不應(yīng)該搞砸所有設(shè)計(jì)師設(shè)計(jì)的衣服和高檔度假。債務(wù)有各種形式。你可以專注于建立一個(gè)穩(wěn)固的信用檔案和信用分?jǐn)?shù)，所以當(dāng)你去簽署抵押貸款時(shí)，你能夠得到最低利率。

　　7. Wear more sunscreen.

　　多涂防曬霜。

　　Basking in the rays may pay off in the short run with a glistening tan, but in the long run it leads to age spots, wrinkling and sagging of the skin. So grab the SPF year-round, reach for self-tanner or just embrace your skin tone ·for what it is.

　　沐浴在陽(yáng)光中可能短期類會(huì)讓你擁有閃亮棕褐色皮膚，但是從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看，它會(huì)導(dǎo)致老年斑、皺紋和下垂的皮膚。所以全年涂抹防曬霜，獲得古銅膚色或者欣然接受你本身的膚色。

　　8. Think carefully before marriage.

　　結(jié)婚前考慮清楚。

　　Several readers voiced they would have waited to get married. One reader said she would have waited until at least 30. While there's no hard and fast rule everyone can apply, it's sound advice at any age -- to think carefully before you wed.

　　一些讀者表示他們會(huì)等晚點(diǎn)結(jié)婚。一個(gè)讀者說(shuō)她會(huì)等到至少30歲才結(jié)婚。雖然沒(méi)有每個(gè)人都適用的硬性規(guī)定，但是這是對(duì)處任何年齡的人的忠告--在你結(jié)婚前仔細(xì)考慮清楚。

　　9. Slow down.

　　慢一點(diǎn)。

　　Too many of us waste precious moments because we're too busy connected to our digital devices or on social media or worrying about the next career move. Life is short. Savor it. We think reader Trisha C Mokoshsq put it perfectly: "I would not have been so driven to be successful and work 80 hours a week to make partner all those years. I would have lingered. I would have defined myself by more than what I did for a living."

　　我們很多人浪費(fèi)了很多寶貴的時(shí)間，因?yàn)槲覀兠τ谔幚頂?shù)字設(shè)備或社交媒體或擔(dān)憂下次的事業(yè)變動(dòng)。生命短暫。享受它。我認(rèn)為讀者Trisha C Mokoshsq說(shuō)的很好：“我不會(huì)如此想要成功，所有的這些年，每周工作80個(gè)小時(shí)廣交合作伙伴。我會(huì)徘徊逗留。我會(huì)重新定義我要做的事情，而不僅僅是為了生存。”

　　10. Get a better education.

　　得到更好的教育。

　　As the saying goes, nobody can take your accomplishments away from you. Education is one of those accomplishments. Many readers wished they would have either gone to or stuck to college. Whether it's to land you the career of your dreams, or to meet people from different walks of life or to learn to see things a little differently, education is always a good choice, whatever form it takes.

　　俗話說(shuō)得好，沒(méi)有人可以帶走你的成就。教育就是這些成就之一。許多讀者希望他們可以讀大學(xué)或堅(jiān)持讀完大學(xué)。無(wú)論它是讓你擁有夢(mèng)想的事業(yè)，還是見(jiàn)來(lái)自各行各業(yè)的人，還是學(xué)習(xí)看待事情的見(jiàn)解有些不一樣，教育總是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的選擇，無(wú)論它采取什么形式。

　　11. Consider health issues.

　　考慮健康問(wèn)題。

　　By 25 you might have noticed your metabolism slowing down. But looking after yourself as you age is about more than just quitting your pizza-a-day diet for vanity. It's about creating habits (and breaking bad ones) that will lead to a long life in which you're healthy enough to do everything you want to do. So quit smoking or cut back on the alcohol. As many of you said, little changes can lead to big benefits in the long run.

　　到了25歲，你可能會(huì)注意到你的新陳代謝變慢了。但是在這個(gè)年紀(jì)照顧好自己，不僅僅是為了虛榮拋棄你每天吃披薩的飲食習(xí)慣。它需要培養(yǎng)讓你活的更久的習(xí)慣(打破壞習(xí)慣)，這樣你就足夠健康可以做你想要做的一切事情。所以戒煙或少喝酒。正如許多人說(shuō)的，從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看 ，小的變化可以帶來(lái)大的效益。
