Human beings always long for distant places and things they do not possess; this is an innate desire in human nature. Yet we often overlook the simple, small happiness beside us right now. Passion fades, illusions break. Maturity does not mean losing the ability to feel. It means knowing that strong emotion needs measure, learning to balance passion and restraint, protecting yourself well and disturbing no one. 【《少年维特之烦恼》歌德,杨武能 译】 人总是向往远方,向往不曾拥有的东西,这是人性里与生俱来的渴望。可我们常常忽略,当下身边那些朴素微小的幸福。激情会褪去,幻想会破灭。成熟不是不再心动,而是明白热烈的情感需要分寸,懂得在热爱和克制之间找到平衡,好好守护自己,也不去惊扰别人。

每个人都有属于自己的道路,没有人有资格替另一个人定义幸福。世人推崇的安稳、财富、名望,对一部分人是归宿,对另一部分人只是牢笼。不必因为和旁人选择不同而自我怀疑,也不要强行说服别人走和你一样的路。生命最可贵的自由,是忠于自己内心的选择,哪怕这条路崎岖又冷清。 英文 Every person has their own path, and no one has the right to define happiness for another. The stability, wealth and fame praised by the world may be a home for some, yet a cage for others. Do not doubt yourself merely because your choices differ from those around you, nor try to force others onto your road. The most precious freedom of life lies in remaining faithful to your inner choice, even if that road is rough and lonely.

**中文(里尔克《给青年诗人的十封信》,冯至译) 你要接纳你的孤独,不要急于寻找答案填补内心的空隙。一切成长都需要漫长的孕育,就像树木缓慢生长,不催促春天到来。困惑、煎熬、漫长的等待,都是生命必要的过程。不要把自己的疑惑交给别人去解答,别人的答案永远无法适配你的灵魂。好好忍耐,好好去爱这份艰难的探寻。 英文 You must accept your loneliness and not rush to fill the empty spaces of your heart with ready answers. All growth requires long gestation, just as trees grow slowly and do not hurry spring to arrive. Confusion, torment and long waiting are all necessary parts of life. Do not hand your doubts over to others for resolution, for no answer from another person can ever fit your soul. Be patient, and learn to love this difficult search.

Many people live their whole lives following the templates of the world, and only when approaching the end do they realise they have never lived for themselves. We hurry to meet others’ expectations, chase the success everyone admires, and habitually avoid the faint questions rising within our hearts. Afraid of standing out and afraid of judgement, we surrender ourselves bit by bit. The reminder of death is not meant to fill us with terror of vanishing; it urges us to distinguish early what others want, and what we truly need. 中文(托尔斯泰《伊凡·伊里奇之死》,臧仲伦译) 很多人依照世俗的模板过完一生,等到临近终点,才惊觉自己从未为自己活过。我们忙着迎合别人的期待,追逐公认的成功,习惯性回避内心微弱的疑问。我们害怕与众不同,害怕被评判,于是一点点交出自我。死亡的提醒,不是让人恐惧消逝,而是催促人趁早分辨:什么是别人想要的,什么才是自己真正需要的。

**中文(普鲁斯特《追忆似水年华》,周克希译) 真正的发现之旅,不在于寻找新风景,而在于拥有新眼光。我们常常被困在旧的认知、过往的伤痛、固化的偏见里,重复看见同样的世界。时光流逝,改变的不只是年龄,还有我们感知万物的方式。很多时候困住我们的不是往事本身,而是我们一遍一遍反复回味它的视角。学会换一种眼光回望过去,往事便不再是枷锁。 英文 The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. We are often trapped within old beliefs, past wounds and rigid prejudices, seeing the same world over and over again. As time passes, it is not only our age that changes, but the way we perceive everything around us. More often than not, it is not the past itself that imprisons us, but the perspective from which we revisit it again and again. Learn to look back with fresh eyes, and the past will cease to be a chain.

去喜欢那个很拽却为你低头的人 去珍惜那个很忙却对你有空的人 去拥抱那个冰冷却对你温柔的人 去回应那个成熟却陪你荒唐的人 去心疼那受过伤仍对你真诚的人 去沦陷那个理智却为你失控的人 去依赖那个急躁却对你耐心的人 去奔赴那个余生皆是你的人

中文(奥斯汀《理智与情感》,王科一译) 情绪本身没有对错,压抑感受也不等于拥有理智。真正的成熟,不是消灭热烈的情感,而是学会带着情感审慎行事。人不能一味顺从冲动,也不该把自己的心层层封锁。我们要给感受留出空间,也要给自己一点距离,去看清事情的全貌。平衡从来不是冷漠,是温柔地兼顾内心与现实。 英文 Emotions themselves hold no right or wrong, and suppressing feelings is not the same as possessing sense. True maturity does not mean extinguishing passionate feelings, but learning to act thoughtfully while carrying them. One ought neither surrender blindly to impulse nor seal one’s heart away behind walls. We must make room for our feelings, yet also keep a little distance so we may see the whole picture. Balance is never cold indifference; it is gently reconciling the inner heart with reality.

*中文(加缪《西西弗斯神话》,杜小真译) 生活本身本没有预先写好的意义,意义是人主动赋予它的。西西弗斯反复推石上山,这个动作的荒诞不会消失,但他可以选择在每一次迈步之中寻得尊严。不必等待远方的救赎,不必寄望苦难自动结束。人不是为了抵达终点才活着,行走本身,就是全部。当我们直视荒诞,依然愿意热爱生活,便是最了不起的反抗。 英文 Life carries no prewritten meaning; meaning is something human beings actively bestow upon it. Sisyphus rolls his boulder up the hill again and again, and the absurdity of this act never vanishes, yet he may choose to find dignity in every single step. Do not wait for salvation from afar, nor hope that suffering will end of its own accord. We do not live only to reach a destination; the act of walking is everything. When we stare absurdity straight in the eye and still choose to love life, that is the noblest rebellion.

中文(伍尔夫《到灯塔去》,谷启楠译) 时间会冲刷掉很多我们以为永远不会消失的东西,争吵、执念、光鲜的喜悦,都会慢慢淡去。但那些真诚的看见、安静的陪伴,会在记忆里沉淀下来,成为生命隐秘的基石。我们总执着于抓住确定的结果,可生活大多由细碎、未完成、悬而未决的瞬间构成。不必强求一切圆满,接纳生命天然的残缺,才能够看见藏在缝隙里的美。 英文 Time washes away so many things we believe will last forever: quarrels, obsessions, bright bursts of joy all fade little by little. Yet those sincere moments of seeing and quiet companionship settle in memory, becoming the hidden foundation of life. We cling desperately to definite outcomes, yet most of life consists of fragmentary, unfinished, unresolved moments. There is no need to demand perfection in everything. Accepting life’s inherent imperfection allows us to see beauty tucked in its cracks.

中文(蒙田《随笔集》,马振骋译) 我们的人生由思想塑造,而非境遇。同样一件事,有人视作灭顶之灾,有人当作必经的试炼。外界发生什么,很多时候不在我们掌控之内,但我们如何解读、如何安放自己的心,永远是自己的主权。不要把幸福寄托在转瞬即逝的外物上,财富、赞美、地位,都会随时光消散。真正的安宁,扎根在我们稳定的内心之中。 英文 Our lives are shaped not by circumstances, but by our thoughts. The very same event may strike one person as utter ruin and another as a necessary trial. Much of what happens outside us lies beyond our control, yet how we interpret events and settle our hearts remains our own sovereignty. Do not anchor happiness to fleeting external things; wealth, praise and status all fade with time. True peace takes root deep within a steady inner world.
