13 – Stop Being Wasteful13 –別再浪費(fèi)?
You don’t finish your meals, and away food instead. You leave the faucet running when you brush your teeth, pouring precious water down the drain. You drive places you could easily walk, burning gasoline (a non-renewable resource)。You are wasteful, and it needs to stop.
你還沒把飯吃完,就把食物扔掉了;刷牙的時(shí)候,水龍頭還開著,寶貴的水就那樣嘩嘩的流走;明明可以走到的地方你偏要開車,浪費(fèi)汽油(無法再生資源)。如果你浪費(fèi)了,那就趕緊停止這一惡習(xí)。
14– Stop Littering14–不要亂扔垃圾
The only thing I hate more than wasteful people are litterbugs. Litterbugs are my least favorite bug, and there are more than you’d think. If you’ve ever thrown even one piece of gum, paper, candy wrapper, cigarette butt, etc on the ground, you’re a disgusting litterbug, and you should be ashamed of yourself. There are over 7 billion people in the world if each person only throws one “innocent”piece of garbage on the ground, that’s 7 billion pieces of garbage littering a world in which nobody “did it”.
唯一讓我覺得比浪費(fèi)的人更可惡的就是亂丟垃圾的人。我最厭惡這種人,而且這種人永遠(yuǎn)多得讓你數(shù)不清。如果你曾扔過一塊口香糖,一張紙、糖果包裝、煙蒂,那么你就是惡心的亂丟垃圾的人。你應(yīng)該為你自己感到恥辱。世界上有超過70億的人——如果每個(gè)人都無意識(shí)的往地上扔垃圾,那么全世界就會(huì)變成一個(gè)有70億垃圾的垃圾場,還找不到罪魁禍?zhǔn)住?/div>
Your one decision makes a HUGE difference, and I will not allow you to blow it off and walk around with your head held high. You’re a litterbug, and it needs to stop immediately. You don’t get a lifehack for this one, you filthy animal. Just stop – you already know how.
你的一個(gè)決定會(huì)改變很多,我不會(huì)讓你去大馬路大聲高呼。如果你是那種人,那么就需要馬上停止了。你要是不這么做的話,那就跟骯臟的動(dòng)物一樣了。停止這一舉動(dòng)吧,你已經(jīng)知道該怎么做了。
15 – Stop Taking Everything Personally15 – 別把每件事太往心里去
People get offended about the strangest things. Take Kendrick Lamar’s now-infamous verse on “Control”this summer: he called out a list of a dozen rappers he thinks he’s better than (and he’s right).The internet went crazy, and rappers all over the industry rushed to their mics to record a response. The thing is, all K-Dot said is he’s the best rapper. Everyone took it personally, and that’s exactly what he was going for. The lesson to learn from this is that not everything is about you, and if you’re easily upset, someone will use that to their advantage.
人們會(huì)因?yàn)橐恍┢婀值氖虑楦械奖磺址噶?。就拿Kendrick Lamar這個(gè)夏天備受爭議的歌曲《Control》為例:他在歌詞中挑釁了一些他認(rèn)為比他弱的說唱歌手(的確是這樣),一時(shí)激起千層浪,整個(gè)說唱界的歌手都蜂擁錄歌作為回?fù)?。重點(diǎn)在于,所有的人都認(rèn)為自己是最好的說唱者。每個(gè)人都把這件事太往心里去,這就是他的目的所在。這件事教給我們的無非就是不是所有的事都要圍著你轉(zhuǎn),如果你太在意,總會(huì)被別人利用以此來達(dá)到他的目的。
16 – Stop Talking16 –不要再亂說話
Sometimes it’s best to just STFU –especially in relationships. I can’t even count how many times I created an issue that didn’t need to be an issue simply because I opened my mouth. Even if what you want to say is important, just shut up and ride it out. You can say more with your actions than words, and you can’t listen when you’re talking.
有時(shí)候沉默是金——特別在人際關(guān)系里。我都記不清有多少次因?yàn)檎f錯(cuò)話引發(fā)了本可以避免的爭端。即使你想說的非常重要,那也閉嘴,自行消化。你可以用行動(dòng)證明一切,畢竟你自己說話的時(shí)候是聽不見的。

全球的富人有啥不一樣?(雙語)
人們總愛認(rèn)為世界各地的人們追求財(cái)富的原因是一致的。按天性,人們喜歡過得舒適,喜歡擁有權(quán)力,喜歡由大量的物質(zhì)和金錢而帶來的選擇和自由。但是不一樣的地方富人追求的東西也是不一樣的喲!

美多數(shù)已婚人士相信自己“選對(duì)人”(雙語有聲)
婚姻到底是不是愛情的墳?zāi)??借著七夕的東風(fēng),我們也來談?wù)剱矍榕c婚姻這個(gè)永恒的主題,看看老美的家庭調(diào)查中占主流的到底是洗具還是杯具。愛情路上不存在著永恒的旖旎風(fēng)光,路漫漫其修遠(yuǎn)兮哉!

玩轉(zhuǎn)手中的帽子
不知道你對(duì)帽子的印象如何,不過艷陽高照的日子頭戴一頂遮陽帽也是一番風(fēng)景噢。帽子也是很多人裝飾的重要部分,原來它的結(jié)構(gòu)細(xì)究起來也不簡單呢。
