Watch the World Go by 静静地坐下来 看世界与我们擦身而过 The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. - Bertrand Russell 享受的时光并非虚度伯特兰罗素 I was sitting outside my new home yesterday (we just moved last week, and we love the new place), watching the world go by. 昨天,我坐在我的新房子外面(上周我们刚搬家,我们都很喜欢这个新地方),看着眼前这个世界匆匆而过。 There were people in cars, in a hurry to get to their next appointment. There were birds flying by, insects just as busy as the people in cars, plants and weeds thriving in the humid Guam climate. 人们坐在车里,急急忙忙赶赴下一场约会。鸟儿飞过,虫儿也像坐在车里的那些人一样忙碌。在Guam(关岛)潮湿的气候下,花草树木茁壮成长。 Inside the house, my children were also busy, as ever, making a mess of the house (which my wife and I would soon clean up), getting into things, their natural curiosity overpowering our previous pleas for them not to play with lotion or take things apart. 房子里,孩子们也忙得很,和往常一样,屋里被弄得乱七八糟(我和妻子一会儿还要打扫清理),对任何事物都感兴趣,他们天生的好奇心让我和妻子实在没办法,丝毫不顾我们之前的告诫,玩洗涤剂,把东西都拆了玩。 |
