【Share】Life is a journey(pictures)

1435 views. 2010-8-28 21:17 |Individual Classification:Private|


人生就像是一场旅行,不必在乎目的地,在乎的是沿途的风景以及看风景的心情。
Life is a journey, not a destination. What matters is the scenery on the way and the mood while viewing it.Take your heart with you while making this journey.



人的一生,像乘坐一辆公交车。
The journey of life is like a bus trip.

我们知道它有起点和终点,却无法预知沿途的经历。
We all know that a bus trip has its origin and its final destination.But what we cannot predict are the experiences along the way.

有的人行程长,有的人行程短。有的人很从容,可以欣赏窗外的景色。
Some people have longer journeys, while others have shorter ones.
Some people are very relaxed and they can enjoy the scenery as it rolls by.

有的人很窘迫,总处于推搡和拥挤之中。
Some are always crowded and must push and struggle for room, always feeling disconcerted,

然而与悬挂在车门上、随时可能掉下去的人相比,似乎又感欣慰。
However, compared to those that hang from the door of the bus—prone to falling at any time—they feel grateful for their comparative comfort.

获得舒适与优雅,座位是必不可少的机会,因此总被人们争抢。
If you want to travel in comfort and grace, you must take a seat at the first chance; therefore, everybody will fight for a seat.

有的人很幸运,一上车就能落座。
Some are fortunate enough to get a seat as soon as they get on the bus.

有的人很倒霉,即使全车的人都坐下了,他还站着。
Some are very unlucky, because although everyone else can get a seat, they are left standing.


有时别处的座位不断空出来,唯独身边这个毫无动静。
Sometimes other seats become vacant, while the seats immediately around you remain occupied.


而当你下定决心走向别处,刚才那个座位的人却正好离开。
However just as you decide that there is a better chance of another seat becoming free and you choose to stand beside it, the seat you were originally standing beside immediately becomes vacant.


为了坐上或保住座位,有的人漠视良心,甚至伤害他人。
In order to obtain and keep a seat, some people disregard their conscience, and will even hurt others.

有的人却因为这样那样的原因,不得不将到手的座位让给他人。
Some people, for one reason or another, must give up the seat they fought so hard to get.


有的人用了种种的方式,经历了长长的等待,终于可以坐下。
Some people devise cunning methods to try and obtain a seat; and after a long wait, they finally get a seat.


但这时他已经到站了。
But, as soon as he gets a seat, he reaches his destination.


下车的一刻,他回顾车厢,也许会为区区一个座位而感慨,自以为大彻大悟。其实即使重新来过,他依然会去争抢,因为有时如果不坐下,连站的位置都没有。除非你永远不上车,而这并不由自己决定。
As he disembarks from the bus, he looks back at the bus and sighs, seeing the now empty seat; realising that he should not hastily grab a seat as other people do. However, if he must make the journey again, he would still try to grab a seat as he did before; because, sometimes, if you don't grab a seat, there is hardly even any room to stand. Unless, that is,  you never get on the bus, however we cannot make this decision for ourselves.



到站的人下了,车上的人还在。依然熙熙攘攘,依然上上下下……
The people that have arrived at their destination will leave the bus, however there are still people on the bus. And still there is hustle and bustle; people continue getting on and off the bus...

The author has vividly compared the esoteric life voyage to a common occurrence; his lucidity and simplicity in style is praiseworthy. Good piece comes from keen observation of everyday life.
Thanks!

The article reflect the reality of the society, we often meet the situation of the journey, sometime we will feel sad and regard it as the god's unfairness

IT makes sense.  But when one meets with a concrete situation, he will do with different points of view that is far away from what you describe it is.
