Enjoy Your Age(享受歲月)
Enjoy Your Age
How often one hears children wishing they were grownups and old people wishing they were young. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest people are those who enjoy what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities.If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What's more, life is always giving new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people.
However, a child may also have his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, clothes, room,etc., but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing as he used to in childhood, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If,however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up his own position in society.
享受歲月
多少次了，我們聽到孩子盼望著快快長大，老人夢想著青春重現(xiàn)。每個年齡都有它自己的快樂和悲傷。最快樂的人，是那些懂得享受歲月的人，他們充分享受每個年齡帶給
他們的一切，從不把時間浪費在毫無意義的懊悔之上。
童年是一段鮮有責(zé)任的時期。如果有好的父母，孩子就會得到良好的哺育、照料和愛護(hù)。人生中不會再有這樣的日子：只是被給予而無需付出任何回報。而且，生活總是把新鮮事物奉獻(xiàn)給孩子———而對這些事物，大人們已經(jīng)麻木了。
但是，孩子也同樣有他們自己的煩惱：他們不能自由自在地做自己喜歡的事情，大人們再三地告誡他們有的事不能做，一旦做錯了，他們會受到懲罰。
一個年輕人一旦開始自己生活，就不能再指望別人為他的衣食住行付出。要想生活得舒適，他就必須工作。如果還像小時候那樣只是貪玩，那他只能餓肚子。如果像過
去違背父母規(guī)定那樣違反社會法律，他就可能被捕入獄。但是，假使他努力工作，遠(yuǎn)離麻煩，保持健康，他就能在建立自己社會地位的過程中，獲得巨大的快樂。
