美文欣赏：我结婚了，但是并不快乐

I got married when I was 23 years old, and for a while I was unhappy. I couldnt break up our marriage cuz I had always believed divorce was not an option. So I tried to live one day at a time, not over-thinking the future, hoping that things will get better some day.

我23岁就结婚了，但是没过多久，我觉得并不快乐。我不能终止婚姻，因为我从来没有觉得离婚是一种(解决)方式。于是我每天得过且过，不多考虑将来。希望事情会在将来自己改善。

The problem was, it was all me, my wife didnt do anything to upset me and shes genuinely innocent. I didnt laugh when she was telling jokes, mainly because she cant tell jokes and always mess up the punchline, its also because I didnt love her anymore, but I tried to crack a smile as hard as it was.

但问题是，所有问题都在于我。我的妻子从未做过任何让我失望的事情，而且她非常的单纯。她讲笑话时，我都不笑，因为她根本不会笑话，主要讲不好笑话的梗，也因为我不再爱她，但我还是挤出无比尴尬的笑容。

I didnt even notice when she wore something new or fixed herself for me. I was aware of my problem and thats why I was going crazy, the fact that its all me. That being said, I he never hurt her or even said something unpleasant to her, I never acted on those feelings, I kept my shit to myself.

我甚至都没有注意她穿了新衣服，或是为我停留。我意识到是我的问题，这就是我为什么抓狂的原因，而且问题完全在我。所以我从来都没有伤害过她，或是讲过什么令她不悦。我不表现这种情绪，都一个人默默承受。

One day I had to just get away for a while, clear my mind, and try and see a bigger picture, if there was one. Of course I didnt make it seem like im taking a break or anything, im a good actor.

一天，我不得不暂时离开，清理下脑子，试着展望下未来，如果那个未来存在的话。我没有让这次离开看起来像我要休息一下，或是别的(让她误会)的事情，我是一个好演员。

So I left, and took a road trip. Driving always helped me get better for the night. I drive alone and talk out loud and let it all out so I dont burst up and explode during the day.

接着我开启了我的公路之旅，独自一人开夜车让我觉得好过些，我大声讲话，让情绪发泄，这样不至于在白天失控爆发。

Nothing happened during those silent days of driving, except that she called me twice everyday to check on me.

在那些安静开车的日子里什么都没有发生，除了她每天两通电话，看我是否安好。

She never missed a call, and suddenly I realized that I was waiting for her to fet to call me. I keep realizing how much of an asshole I am.One day while driving I had a moment of clarity, it was so beautiful that I smiled and cried at the same time.

她从来都没有漏打过一个电话，突然间我意识到，我就是要等她忘记打电话给我，我愈来愈觉得自己是一个十足的混蛋。一天在开车时，我突然清醒了，我边微笑边哭泣，这种感觉真是太美妙了。

My mind drew a picture for me and here it is.. My wife crying while im not there or I cant see her, then she gathers herself and acts normal when im there, and tries to tell a joke just to get me to smile even though she knows she cant tell jokes, and for some reason, she was wearing a white dress.

脑海中虚构的场景浮现在眼前。我的妻子，在我不在或是看不到她的时候抹眼泪，当我在的时候，强打精神，恢复常态。尽管知道自己不擅长讲笑话，还是尽力博我一乐，而且不知何故，她身着一袭白裙。

I was thinking about my own happiness so much that I fot to think about how miserable im making her feel. I never hated myself more than I did at that moment.

我只顾自己的喜乐，却忘了顾及她的感受。在那一刻，我从未如此讨厌自己。

I turned the car around and drove home, and while im on the road, I kept imagining her in that white dress. It made me happy. And I recalled some of the jokes she had told me before, and I laughed about how she messed up the punchline every time.That was three years ago, we had two daughters since then and I cant believe how lucky I am that I didnt mess it up. Im thankful that she didnt lee me when she had every excuse to. Im not exaggerating when I tell you that with every love song that I hear, I think of her.

我将车掉头驶向家，一路上我不停想象着那穿那条白裙子的样子，这让我很开心。接着我想起了之前她给我讲的那些笑话，想起她每次都说不好笑话的梗，我笑了。3年前，我有了两个女儿，我不敢相信自己是多么幸运，而且我也没有(像之前一样)把事情搞的不愉快。我很感激她没有离开我，即使在她完全有理由这么做的情况下。一点都不夸张的讲，之后每当我听到情歌，我就会想起她。

So to the people who think they dont love their partners anymore, dig a little deeper. Theres a scene in the movie Hachi: A Dogs Tale, where the father asks his daughters boyfriend, Do you love my daughter? Because thats what you want to remember in the bad days.

那些觉得自己不爱父母的人，请在扪心自问下。

在关于狗狗电影《《忠犬八公的故事》中，有一个场景父亲曾问女儿的男朋友，你爱我的女儿么?因为在以后不愉快的日子里你也要记得这点(你爱我的女儿)。

Thanks for reading this.

感谢阅读。

美文欣赏：把时间看做投资，生活就不一样了

Think of how stingy you are with your money: if someone on the street asks for  10, youre not giving it to them. Theres no way youre giving a 30% tip for a normal dining experience. And so on.

想想你在花钱上是多么的吝啬，如果有人在街上问你要10美元，你是不会给的。普通的一顿饭要收你30%的小费，那也是没门。诸如此类的事情还有不少。

And yet so many of us just waste ungodly amounts of our time. We throw it away, every day. I know I do unless Im careful. What helps me to not waste time is to see it as an investment, and to keep track of the returns I get for my investment.

但是我们大部分人都肆意挥霍着时间，对于时间的浪费，每天如此。除非我们刻意留心，不然我们还是明知故犯。怎样做才能不浪费时间?不如将它看成一种投资，看看它能带来多少回报。

This approach has led me to recognize that some things offer incredible immediate return on investment: a night spent learning a new song on my preferred instruments, for example, gives me a lifetime of being able to play that song. Thats an incredible return. Other investments are more like low-interest, high security, long-term investments: going to the gym, eating right, etc. Some, like reading good books, are kind of a bination of both.

在某些方面，让我觉得(投资时间)会有不可思议的即刻回报。比如，花一个晚上的时间，在我喜欢的乐器上学会一首新的曲子，那我今后的一生中就都会弹奏这首曲子。这是多么不可思议的回报。还有一些低利率、高安全率的长期投资，比如：去健身房锻炼、健康饮食等等。还有一些，包括阅读有意义的书，算是两者的结合。

But many activities are worthless from an investment perspective: whatever benefit they seem to give doesnt last any longer than the activity itself.Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. - Warren Buffett. This applies to everything: money, relationships, time. Knowing this changes your life.

但是有很多的活动从投资的角度来说是毫无价值的，除了活动本身的价值，其他的任何利益都不会得到延续。你付出的是价格，买来的是价值。这是沃伦巴菲特的名言。这条定律适用于所有事物，金钱、关系、时间。知道这个会改变你的人生。

美文欣赏：在狗狗眼里，人类是不老的神?

What If Dogs Think We Are Immortal?

如果在狗狗眼里，人类是不老的神会怎么样?

Someone posted that concept on Tumblr, and the responses that came in brought tears to my eyes.

有人把这个想法分享在Tumblr上，让我感动不已。

They live so long but the good ones still bond with us for our entire lives.

他们活得那么久，但好人仍然和我们一生一世在一起。

These immortals are so kind we must be good friends to them.

这些不老的神真友好，我们一定要和他们做朋友。

Many dogs never get to see their owners grow old and weak:

许多狗从来没有看到他们的主人变衰老：

Now I am old. The fur around my muzzle is grey and my joints ache when we walk together. Yet she remains unchanged, her hair still glossy, her skin still fresh, her step still sprightly. Time doesnt touch her and yet I love her still.

现在我老了。我鼻口周围的毛变成了灰色。当我们一起走的时候，我的关节疼痛不已。然而她依然没有变老，她的头发依然是那么有光泽，她的皮肤依然是那么的嫩滑，她的步伐依然是那么的轻快。岁月在她身上没有留下痕迹，而我也仍然爱她。

But some do:

但是有些狗这样想到：

For generations, he has guarded over my family. Since the days of my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather he has kept us safe. For so long we thought him immortal. But now I see differently, for just as my fur grows gray and my joints grow stiff, so too do his. I will be the last that he cares for. My only hope is that I am able to last until his final moments. The death of one of his kind is so rare. The ending of a life so long is such a tragedy. He has seen so much, he knows so much. I know he takes fort in my presence. I only wish that I will be able to give him this fort until the end.

世世代代以来，他一直守护着我的家。自从我曾曾曾曾曾祖父开始，他一直保护着我们。这么久了以至于我们以为他是长生不老的。但现在我有了不同的看法，因为正如我的皮毛会变灰，我的关节会变得僵硬，他也会像我一样会变老。我将成为他最后一个关心照顾的狗了。我唯一的希望就是我能坚持到他生命的最后一刻。他们的死亡对于我们来说太罕见了。这么长的人生就这样终结了，这是多么大的悲剧啊。他饱经世故，他知识渊博。我知道他在我面前能够感受到慰藉。我只希望能一直给他这种安慰直到最后一刻。
