Talk About the Perfect Day 談?wù)撏昝赖囊惶?/strong>
如果莫里有完全健康的一天,他會(huì)做些什么?
"I'd get up in the morning, do my exercises, have a lovely breakfast of sweet rolls and tea, go for a swim, then have my friends come over for a nice lunch. I'd have them come one or two at a time so we could talk about their families, their issues, talk about how much we mean to each other."
"Then I'd like to go for a walk, in a garden with some trees, watch their colors, watch the birds, take in the nature that I haven't seen in so long now."
"In the evening, we'd all go together to a restaurant with some great pasta, maybe some duck-I love duck and then we'd dance the rest of the night. I'd dance with all the wonderful dance partners out there, until I was exhausted. And then I'd go home and have a deep, wonderful sleep."
It was so simple. So average ... how could he find perfection in such an average day?
Then I realized this was the whole point.

“早晨起床,進(jìn)行晨練,吃一頓可口的。有甜面包卷和茶的早餐。然后去游泳,請(qǐng)朋友們共進(jìn)午餐,我一次只請(qǐng)一兩個(gè),于是我們可以談他們的家庭,談他們的問題,談彼此的友情。”
“然后我會(huì)去公園散步,看看自然的色彩,看看美麗的小鳥,盡情地享受久違的大自然。”
“晚上,我們一起去飯店享用上好的意大利面食,也可能是鴨子——我喜歡吃鴨子——剩下的時(shí)間就用來跳舞。我會(huì)跟所有的人跳,直到跳得精疲力竭。然后回家,美美地睡上一個(gè)好覺。”
太普通了,毫不奢侈……他竟然在極普通的一天里找到了那份完美。
但隨后我意識(shí)到了這就是一切問題的答案所在。
