伊朗著名诗人萨迪在讲到自己从不抱怨命苦时说了他的一次遭遇。 一次，萨迪没有钱买鞋，只能赤脚到教堂去。进教堂前，他确实感到沮丧和不幸，但当位没有脚的人时，才发觉自己并非这世上最不幸的人，不再以穷困得没有鞋穿为苦。于是，他这样写道： ‘‘在饱足人的眼中，烧鹅好比青草；在饥饿人的眼中，萝卜便是佳肴 “人们在沙漠中口渴难耐时并非期望别人能扔给一袋钞票或珠宝，而是一杯解渴的凉水。人们在身无分文时所期望的，并非腰缠万贯，而是能解决无米之炊。” 因此，我们要学会拥有一颗能感受幸福的心。 Learn to Taste Happiness Mentioning he never complained about his sad fate, the famous Iranian poet Sadi talked about one of his encounters. Once, Sadi had no money to buy shoes, so he had to walk on barefoot to the church. Before entering the church, he did feel frustrated and unhappy, but when he saw a man who had no feet in the chapel, he found that he was not the most unfortunate man in the world, no longer complaining he was too poor to have shoes. So he wrote: In the eyes of satiable people, roasted goose is like grass; in the eyes of hungry people, radish is delicacies.” When thirsty in the desert, the people desire not to have a bag of money or jewels thrown at them, but a glass of cool water to satisfy their thirst. When penniless, the people desire not to wallow in money, but can get rid of cooking a meal without rice.” Therefore, we must learn to have a heart that can taste happiness. encounter 遭遇 chapel 小教堂 satiable 可使饱足的；可满足的 radish 小萝卜 delicacy 美味佳肴 |
