The best things can come from the worst experiences
最糟糕的經(jīng)歷卻讓人有最美好的體驗(yàn)
Once, when I was in Sicily(西西里島), I was swindled (欺騙)by a stranger for a hundred dollars. At first I was devastated(非常震驚的). I spent the entire next day thinking about what I should have done to keep my money, and what I would do if I had it. But what I learned from this about humanity(人性), about the nature of good and evil within people, and how circumstances force them to do bad things showed me a lot about myself and how to cope with misfortune.
有一次我在西西里島,我在那里被不認(rèn)識(shí)的人騙了一百美元。我起先很震驚,和接下來(lái)的一天,我花了一整天思考我應(yīng)該做什么,我才能不讓騙子得逞。但從這件事,我了解了人性,關(guān)于人的善與惡,迫使人們做壞事的環(huán)境,使我看了很多,必須讓我知道如何處理不幸。
Seeing how other people live
觀察別人是如何生活的
We’re all part of a human family, but it’s easy to forget that when we move through our daily routine(日常工作),seeing people who live just like we do. But when you see people going about their daily existence in ways very different from your own, it can open your eyes to how similar you are to them, and how different.
我們都是人類家族的一部分,但在我們的日常生活中很容易忘記這一點(diǎn),我們的生活和其他人的生活是一樣的。但你會(huì)看到人們的日常生活方式,與自己的生活方式是不同的,這樣可以開闊你的視野,你和他們的生活相似但又不同的地方。
