如果回到十八岁,我要对自己说……(3)
So take it easy. Have some fun. Do something crazy. Let loose. Call up some friends and share some great moments together.
所以,要放松点。去享受乐趣,去作一些疯狂的事情,不要把自己绷得太紧。和朋友们一起分享一些美好时光。
Don't Be in Such a Hurry to Grow Up
不要急着长大
A funny thing happens as you age: The older you get, the less of a hurry you're in. You'd think it would be the other way around: the less time you have, the more of a hurry you're in; but it's actually quite the opposite.
你那个年龄是很奇妙的:你年岁越大,你越少着急。但你也许却有另外一种思路:你有的时间越少,你越着急。可是事实其实是完全相反的。
At 18, it seems like you have to rush everything before you get too old. You think you have to graduate college, get a good job, and get married before you turn 22, because (for some reason) you think 22 is old.
18岁的时候,看上去你必须要在自己变得太老之前急冲冲的做完一些事情。你认为自己必须要从大学毕业,找个好工作然后在22岁之前结婚,因为(不知道什么原因)你认为22岁已经老了。
Don't take being young for granted! Being a kid without responsibility is a thing of beauty. I know you don't appreciate it now, but you will when you're my age.
不要把年轻看的那么理所当然!做一个不需要负太多责任的小孩是一件很美妙的事情。也许现在的你不太赞同,可当你到了我这个年纪的时候就会明白了。
22 is just getting started! In fact, life gets more enjoyable as you age. As you learn more about yourself and the world, it gets easier to enjoy what the world has to offer.
22岁只是生命的开始。事实上,生活随着时间的流逝变得更有趣。当你对自己和世界了解的越多,就更容易去享受世界所提供的东西。
Your 20's are the perfect time to explore the world and experience new things. If you grow up before you turn 22, you'll have missed a perfect opportunity. Experiences at 18 are just not the same as when you're 25.
二十几岁是探索世界、体验新东西的最佳时段。如果你在22岁之前就长大了,你会失去这个最佳机会。18岁的感受绝对不会和25岁的感受一样。
