The List 缺點(diǎn)單
A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. 一位男士與他的女友結(jié)婚，舉行了一場(chǎng)盛大的結(jié)婚慶典。
All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true. 所有的朋友和家人都來(lái)參加這一美好的典禮，人人都能看出他們彼此真誠(chéng)相愛(ài)。
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered. “Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.” 幾個(gè)月后，妻子向丈夫提議說(shuō)：“剛才我從雜志上看到了一篇關(guān)于如何鞏固婚姻的文章。我們可以各自把對(duì)方的小毛病列在一張紙上，然后一起商量一下怎樣解決它們，以便使我們的生活更幸福?！?The husband agreed, so each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with. 丈夫同意了。于是他們各自走進(jìn)不同的房間去想對(duì)方的缺點(diǎn)。那一天剩下的時(shí)間里，他們都在思考這個(gè)問(wèn)題，并且把想到的都寫(xiě)了下來(lái)。
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. 第二天早上吃早餐時(shí)，他們決定談?wù)劚舜怂谐龅男∶ ?BR> “I'll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill three pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes. “我先開(kāi)始吧?！逼拮诱f(shuō)。她拿出自己的單子，上面列舉了很多條，事實(shí)上，足足有三頁(yè)紙。當(dāng)她開(kāi)始讀的時(shí)候，她注意到丈夫的眼中含著淚花。
“What’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing,” the husband replied, “keep reading your list.” “怎么啦？”她問(wèn)?！皼](méi)什么，”丈夫答道，“繼續(xù)吧。
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it. 妻子繼續(xù)讀，直到把三頁(yè)紙都念完為止。然后，她把單子整齊地放在桌上，兩手交叉放在上面。 “Now, you read your list and then well talk about the things on both of our lists,” she said happily. “現(xiàn)在該你讀了，然后一起談?wù)勎覀兯信e的缺點(diǎn)?！彼吲d地說(shuō)。
Quietly the husband stated, “I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you.” 丈夫平靜地說(shuō)：“我的單子上什么也沒(méi)寫(xiě)，我覺(jué)得你這樣就很完美了，我不想讓你為我改變什么。你可愛(ài)迷人，我不想讓你有所改變?！?The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept. 妻子被丈夫的坦誠(chéng)和對(duì)她深深的愛(ài)和包容感動(dòng)了，她轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)頭去，流下淚來(lái)。
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world full of beauty, brightness and hope. Why waste time looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us 生命中已有足夠多的時(shí)刻會(huì)讓我們失望、沮喪和煩惱，我們根本不需要刻意去尋找它們。我們美妙的世界充滿(mǎn)了美麗、光明和希望。但是，當(dāng)我們環(huán)顧四周，面對(duì)我們眼前的美好事物時(shí)，為什么還要浪費(fèi)時(shí)間去尋找不快、失望和煩惱呢？
