英語(yǔ)短文帶翻譯：培養(yǎng)感激的態(tài)度

To give you an example of selective listening, let me share with you a story I heard about a medical doctor who was invited as a guest speaker to address a group of alcoholics. He wanted to make a demonstration that would be powerful enough to make people realize that alcohol was injurious to their health.
    給你舉一個(gè)選擇性聆聽的例子，我們一同來(lái)分享一個(gè)曾經(jīng)聽說(shuō)的關(guān)于一名醫(yī)生的故事。他受邀為一幫酗酒者作演講。他想要做一個(gè)足以讓人了解酒精危害性的闡述。
    He had two containers, one with pure distilled water and one with pure alcohol. duanwenw.com He put an earthworm into the distilled water and it swam beautifully and came up to the top. He put another earthworm into the alcohol and it disintegrated in fornt of everyone's eyes. He wanted to prove that this was what alcohol did to the insides of our body. He asked the group what the moral of the story was and one person from behind said: If you drink alcohol you won't have worms in your stomach." Was that the message? Of course not, that was selective listening - we hear what we want to hear and not what is being said.
    他拿出兩個(gè)容器，一個(gè)裝有純凈蒸餾水，另一個(gè)裝有純酒精。他在蒸餾水里放一條蚯蚓，蚯蚓歡快地游動(dòng)，很快浮了上來(lái)。他在酒精里放入另一條蚯蚓，大家注意到蚯蚓很快被分解了。他想以此來(lái)證明酒精對(duì)人體內(nèi)臟造成的損害。醫(yī)生問(wèn)酒鬼們這個(gè)示范有什么寓意。英語(yǔ)短文后面有一個(gè)人說(shuō)道：如果你喝酒，胃里不會(huì)生蟲子。是這樣嗎？當(dāng)然不是，這就是選擇性聆聽的結(jié)果-我們聽到的是我們所愿意接受的，而不是我們告知的東西。
    When I say count your blessings, not your troubles, the message is not to become complacent. duanwenw.com If complacence were the message you got, I would be guilty of faulty communication, and you would be guilty of selective listening.
    當(dāng)我說(shuō)，多想想你所得的幸福，而不是你的困難，這并不表示讓你自滿。如果你聽出的是這個(gè)意思，那我將為自己失敗的表達(dá)負(fù)責(zé)，而你則應(yīng)該為自己有所選擇的聆聽負(fù)責(zé)。
    Many of our blessings are hidden treasure - count your blessings and not your troubles.
    很多幸福和成就都是掩蓋的寶藏。多想想你的幸福和成就，而不是你的困難和失敗。
