Happiness Is a Journey

Guidance for Reciting

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. (Emerson)

Happiness is a journey,so treasure every moment that you have and remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school,until you go back to school;until you get married,until you get divorced;until you have kids;until you retire;until you get a new car or home;until spring;until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…

Happiness is a journey,not a destination. So,work like you don't need money,love like you've never been hurt,dance like no one's watching,sing like nobody's listening,and live like it's Heaven on Earth.

幸福,是一次人生旅行

诵读导言

铭刻在心:每一天都是一年中最好的日子。(爱默森)

幸福,就是人生的一次旅行,所以珍惜你现在拥有的每一分钟并记住“时间不等人”的道理。因此,等到你毕业,等到你重返学校,等到你结婚生子,等到你离婚,等到你退休,等到你有了新车和豪宅,等到春天,等到你再一次轮回到这个世界上来,这时你才能确定:世界上再也不会有什么阶段会比现在更幸福的了。

幸福,就是人生的一次旅行,而不是人生的终点。所以:去工作时,犹如你不执迷于金钱;去爱他人,犹如你从未曾被伤害;去舞蹈吧,犹如无人在一旁观看;去歌唱吧,犹如无人在一边谛听;好好地生活,犹如这里是人间乐土。

口语点津

在口语体中,like 和as的交换使用是可以的;但在正式文体中,将like 用作介词,as用作连词,则总是比较稳妥的。
