中英双语美文28:你可以选择自己想过的生活



中英双语美文28 | 你可以选择自己想过的生活





The grief that followed was intense for all of us 5 children and our mother, but we had each other.

母亲和我们5个兄弟姐妹极为难过,但至少我们还拥有彼此。


But my oldest sister at that time complained of a bad back. It got so bad after 2 months that she too was admitted to hospital.

但是,那时我大姐开始抱怨着背痛,2个月后,因疼痛加剧也住进了医院。


They discovered that she had highly advanced cancer in her bones and that there was nothing that they could do.

医生们检查发现,她已是骨癌晚期,对此他们已无能为力。


She died 1 month later.

1个月之后,她也走了。


I could never put into words the loss of my sister in my life.

大姐的逝去让我陷入难以形容的痛苦之中。


She was a walking, talking angel and my favourite person in the whole world. If someone could have asked me the worst thing that could ever happen, it would have been losing her.

在这个世界上,她是一个能走路、会说话的天使,我最喜欢的人。如果有人问我,世界上发生的最坏的事情是什么,那就是失去她。


She was my soul-mate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime without her.

她是我的灵魂伴侣,我从来没有想过,我会走过没有她陪伴的生命旅程。


The Moment Of Deliberate Choice

抉择时刻


The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees. The pain was so great and my world just looked desolate. I had no real home, no money, no job, and no friends that cared. Not one person had even sent me a sympathy card for my loss.

我被打击和极度的心痛击挎了。强烈的痛苦使世界在我眼中变得如此凄凉。我没有真正意义上的家,没有钱,没有工作,也没有关心我的朋友。没有一个人因我失去亲人而寄给我慰问卡。


I made an attempt of my own life and I ended up in hospital.

我尝试着活下去,结果住进了医院。


I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. She stayed with me all night long.

我记得,躺在病床上,看着天花板,看到姐姐美丽的面庞。她整夜守候着我。


I realised during that night that I had a choice. I could choose to end my life or I could choose to live it.

那天晚上,我意识到我可以选择。要么结束生命,要么活下去。


I looked in my sister’s eyes and I made a decision not to go with her just yet. That I would stay and complete my journey here.

望着姐姐的眼睛,我决定不跟她走。我要留下来,走完我的生命旅程。


I also made the decision that, I wouldn’t just live any life. I would live the life that I absolutely LOVE and nothing less.

同时,我还决定,不只为生活而生活,我要完全以自己想要的方式生活。


In that moment, the clarity that descended around me was like a light shining in a dark room for the first time. As if the earth’s plates had shifted under my feet and everything suddenly looked real for the first time.

在那一刻,这一想法第一次清晰得如同一盏在黑暗闪烁的明灯。好像脚下的地球版块变换了,每一样东西在我眼前都真实得前所未有。


The Blossoms Of My Newly Chosen Life

Since then I have begun to shape the most beautiful life for myself.

I have a deeply harmonious, joyful relationship with my amazing boyfriend, who’s gone through all this with me and we are very happy together.

我的男友很好,我们的关系和谐美好,他曾伴我度过那段艰难时期,现在我们一起分享着快乐。

I write a blog that inspires others to live the life that they love. It is what I know I was born to do and it truly makes my heart sing.

我写博客,激励他人过他们喜欢的生活。我知道这是我生来要做的事情,它真正使我感受到发自内心的快乐。

Waking Up

清醒


It took something powerfully transformative in my life to make me wake up. Wake up to some fundamental truths of life.This life is a gift if you want to accept it. No matter what the obstacle, you can make your life abundant with joy and you can live authentically.

生活中一些重大变化使我清醒,使我意识到生活的基本真理。如果你愿意接受生活,它就是礼物。无论遭遇任何困难,你总能让生活充满快乐,真正地生活。


Not a day goes by when I don’t miss my father’s huge character or my beloved sister’s gentle brown eyes, but I know that I will be with them one day for an eternity. What I have now is so precious and so fleeting that I must grasp the joy in every moment I can, and treat it as the gift that it is.

没有哪一天,我不思念父亲温暖的怀抱或至爱的姐姐温柔的棕色眼睛,但是,我知道,终有一天我会与他们相聚。我现在拥有的是如此珍贵、如此易逝,我必须尽情享受每一刻的欢愉,将其视为上帝的馈赠。


You choose life every day. But do you choose the life that you love every day?

每一天,你选择生活。但是,你是否每一天都过着想要的生活?
