你会时常感到孤独吗?即使你周围都是朋友你也还是感到孤独吗?今天的英语美文要和大家分享一篇文章,关于孤独这个问题很多人都会感到困扰,其实那并不是个问题。
孤独和寂寞不一样。寂寞会发慌,孤独则是饱满的,是庄子说的“独与天地精神往来”,是确定生命与宇宙间的对话,已经到了最完美的状态。今天的日常英语资讯要和大家分享一篇和“孤独”有关的英语美文。
I have 422 friends, yet I am lonely. I speak to all of them every day, yet none of them really know me.
我有422个朋友,但我依旧孤独。我每天跟他们所有人说话,但他们没有一人真正了解我。
The problem I have sits in the spaces between, looking into their eyes, or at a name on a screen.
我的问题在于是要看着他们的双眼,还是屏幕上的名字。
I took a step back, and opened myeyes, I looked around, and then realized that this media we call social is anything but when we open our computers, and it's our doors we shut.
我后退一步,睁开双眼,环顾四周,发现这个我们称作社交的媒体一点也不具备社交性,当我们打开电脑时,我们就关上了那道门。
All this technology we have, it's just an illusion, community companionship, a sense of inclusion,
我们所拥有的科技只是一种暗示、社群、友谊、包容的感觉,
yet when you step away from this device of delusion, you awaken to see, a world of confusion.
然而,当你离开这个充满幻想的设备,你会忽然惊觉面前的世界充满疑惑。
A world where we're slaves to the technology we mastered, where our information gets sold by some rich greedy bastard.
在这个世界,我们被我们精通的科技所奴役,资讯被某些富有贪婪的混蛋出卖。
A world of self-interest, self-image, self-promotion, where we share all our best bits, but leave out the emotion.
在这个世界,到处充斥着个人利益、个人形象、个人推广,我们全都分享我们最好的一面,但将情绪抛诸脑后。
We are at our most happy with an experience we share, but is it the same if no one is there?
我们乐于分享某次经历,但如果没人携伴,快乐是否依旧?
Being alone isn't the problem,let me just emphasize, that if you read a book, paint a picture, or do some exercise, you are being productive, and present,
孤独并不是个问题,让我再强调一下,如果你读本书、画幅画、或做些运动,你的生活是丰富多彩且活在当下的,
not reserved or recluse, you're being awake and attentive, and putting your time to good use.
不是沉默且孤僻的。你正清醒且全心投入,并有效利用你的时间。
So when you're in public, and you start to feel alone, put your hands behind your head, and step away from the phone.
所以当你处在公共场合,开始感到孤单的时候,就将你的双手放在脑后,远离手机。
单词注释:
illusion 幻觉,错觉
community 社区,群落
companionship 友谊,陪伴
delusion 迷惑,欺骗
reserved 保留的,缄默的
attentive 留意的,注意的
recluse 隐士,隐居的
希望今天的英语美文能让你在今后的日子里享受孤独,习惯孤独。

爱本身是与生俱来的。(不仅仅是爱情,爱父母、爱亲友的爱也算。)但是处理爱与被爱的方式是需要学习的。所以人们需要经历过一些事情或者发展到一定年龄才懂得如何更好的去表达爱与接受爱。
