一、《快樂(lè)之門》
The Happy Door
Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples.
快樂(lè)就像一塊為了激起陣陣漣漪而丟進(jìn)池塘的小石頭。
As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty.
正好史蒂文森所說(shuō)，快樂(lè)是一種責(zé)任。
There is no exact definition of the word happiness.
快樂(lè)這個(gè)詞并沒(méi)有確切的定義，
Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons.
快樂(lè)的人快樂(lè)的理由多種多樣。
The key is not wealth or physical well-being,
快樂(lè)的關(guān)鍵并不是財(cái)富或身體健康，
since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.
因?yàn)槲覀儼l(fā)現(xiàn)有些乞丐，殘疾人和所謂的失敗者也都非?？鞓?lè)。
Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend.
快樂(lè)是一種意外的收獲，
But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character.
但保持快樂(lè)卻是一種成就，一種靈性的勝利。
It is not selfish to strive for it.
努力追尋快樂(lè)并不自私，
It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.
實(shí)際上，這是我們對(duì)自己和他人應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任。
Being unhappy is like an infectious disease.
不快樂(lè)就像傳染病，
It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer.
它使得人們都躲避不快樂(lè)的人。
He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered.
不快樂(lè)的人很快就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己處于孤獨(dú)，悲慘，痛苦的境地。
There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem,
然而，有一種簡(jiǎn)單得看似荒謬的治病良方：
at first glance, ridiculous; if you don't feel happy, pretend to be!
如果你不快樂(lè)，就假裝你很快樂(lè)!
It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them.
這很有效。不久你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，別人不再躲著你了，相反，你開始吸引別人了。
You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.
你會(huì)發(fā)覺(jué)，做一塊能激起好意漣漪的小石頭有多么值得。

Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit,

opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.
通向不可思議的樂(lè)園的大門就會(huì)向你敞開，那里滿是感激你的朋友。
二、《上帝與孩子的精彩對(duì)話》
A Wonderful Dialogue between God and a Child
上帝與孩子的精彩對(duì)話
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
從前，有一個(gè)嬰兒即將出生了。
One day the child asked God, "They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless? "
一天，這個(gè)小孩問(wèn)上帝，“他們告訴我明天你將要把我送到地球，不過(guò)我這么弱小無(wú)助，在那兒該如何生活呢?”
God replied, "Among the many angels, I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
上帝答道：“在眾多天使之中，我已經(jīng)給你選中了一位。她將會(huì)等待并照顧你?！?/p>
"But," said the child, "tell me here in Heaven I don't do anything else but sing and smile. That's what I need to be happy!"
“不過(guò)”，小孩說(shuō)請(qǐng)告訴我——在天堂我除了歌唱和微笑之外什么都不做。這些是我快樂(lè)所需要的!”
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."
上帝說(shuō)，“你的天使每天將會(huì)為你歌唱，也會(huì)為你微笑。你將會(huì)感受到你的天使的愛(ài)，你會(huì)感到快樂(lè)?！?/p>
"And," said the child, "how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?"
“還有”，小孩又說(shuō)道，“如果我不懂他們說(shuō)的語(yǔ)言，當(dāng)人對(duì)我說(shuō)話的時(shí)候我怎樣才會(huì)理解呢?”
That's easy, said God, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
“這很簡(jiǎn)單，”上帝說(shuō)，“你的天使將教會(huì)你語(yǔ)言中最美麗和最甜蜜的詞語(yǔ)，帶著最大的耐心和關(guān)懷，你的天使將教會(huì)你怎樣說(shuō)話?！?/p>
The child looked up at God saying, "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God smiled at the child saying, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
小孩抬頭看著上帝說(shuō)，“我想和你說(shuō)話的時(shí)候該怎么做呢?”上帝微笑著對(duì)小孩說(shuō)你的天使會(huì)把你的雙手放在一起然后教會(huì)你怎樣祈禱?！?/p>
The child said, "I've heard on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?"
小孩說(shuō)：“我聽說(shuō)地球上有壞人，誰(shuí)將會(huì)保護(hù)我呢?”
God put his arm around the child, saying, "Your angel will defend you--even if it means risking life!"
上帝將手臂環(huán)繞小孩，說(shuō)，“你的天使將會(huì)保護(hù)你：——即使那意味著冒著生命的危險(xiǎn)!”
The child looked sad saying, "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
小孩看起來(lái)有些悲傷地說(shuō)，“我將會(huì)一直感到悲傷因?yàn)槲以僖部床坏侥懔?。?/p>
God hugged the child, "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
上帝擁抱著小孩說(shuō)，“你的天使會(huì)一直跟你說(shuō)有關(guān)我的事情，還會(huì)教你回到我身邊的方法，雖說(shuō)我一直與你同在?！?/p>
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard.
在這一刻天堂變得無(wú)比安詳，不過(guò)已經(jīng)可以聽到從地球上傳來(lái)的聲音。
The child, in a hurry, asked softly, "Oh, God, if I am about to leave now please tell me my angel's name! "
小孩有點(diǎn)著急，柔聲請(qǐng)求，“上帝啊，如果我現(xiàn)在將要離開，請(qǐng)告訴我我的天使的名字!”
God replied, "Your angle's name is of no importance…you will simply call her MOMMY! "
上帝回答說(shuō)，“你的天使的名字并不那么重要…你可以簡(jiǎn)單地叫她‘媽媽’。”
