晨读美文-美好的实质:什么样的美好是你需求的,什么才是真实的美好呢?
I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
我住在好莱坞。你或许认为住在这样一个魅力四射、充溢欢笑的当地要比其他人更美好。假使如此,你就误解了美好的实质。

happiness

 
Many intelligent people still equatehappiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.
许多聪明人仍旧将美好与文娱同等起来。现实上,文娱与美好很少、乃至毫无共同之处。文娱是某个活动进行中的体会,而美好则是活动之后的体会。美好是更深入、更耐久的情感。


Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
去游乐场或去看球赛,看电影或看电视,这些都是文娱活动,有助于咱们放松身心,暂时忘却自己的难题,乃至让咱们放声大笑。可是,这全部并不能带来美好,由于文娱一完毕,它们的正面效应亦随之完结。


I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorousparties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness".
我常常这样想,假如好莱坞明星起到某种效果的话,那就是向咱们昭示美好与文娱毫无关系。作为个人,他们赋有,楚楚动人,能够随时到会心旷神往的宴会,具有顶尖级轿车、贵重的宅第--这全部好像意味着“美好”。


But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, profound loneliness.
但是,在一部又一部的回忆录中,名人们提醒了躲藏在这全部文娱活动背面的不幸:郁闷、酗酒、吸毒成瘾、失利的婚姻、饱尝困扰的孩子、极度的孤单。


The way people clingto the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
人们顽固不化,认为充溢欢笑、没有苦楚的日子就等于美好;这实际上减少了他们真实臻于美好之境的或许性。假如文娱和高兴同等于美好的话,那么苦楚必定同等于不美好。可现实正相反:导致美好的全部常常蕴含着少许苦楚。


As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civicor charitablework, and self-improvement.
因此,许多人不肯尽力,而这些尽力恰恰正是真实美好的源泉。比如婚姻、育婴子女、工作成果、宗教信仰、公共及慈善事业、本身涵养等必定带来苦楚,他们因此关于这全部心胸害怕。
