英語美文朗讀 第369期 Pain Makes You Stronger

Whatever pain you've been through, whatever pain you're going through, know that it wasn't sent to make you weaker, know that it was sent to make you stronger. Trust that it wasn't sent to beat you down, but to raise you up. Trust that it wasn't sent to break you, but to make you.

 

不管你經(jīng)歷了什么痛苦，無論你正在經(jīng)歷什么痛苦，你要知道它的目的不是讓你變?nèi)?，是為了讓你更強大；你要相信它不是為了打敗你，而是為了讓你成長；你要相信它不是為了擊潰你，而是用來成就你的。

 

Think of your life like a giant puzzle. In order to complete the puzzle. The masterpiece that is your life, every piece of puzzle is just as important as the other. You have different shapes, different colours, on their own they seem random and incomplete, but together they make sense. Once all the pieces come together you can see the bigger picture. You have to be able to see the bigger picture in your life, or at least have faith your puzzle will come together in time.

把你的生活想象成一個巨大的拼圖。你要完成這塊拼圖，你拼出來的杰作就是你自己的生活。每一塊拼圖都一樣重要，拼圖形狀不同，顏色各異。只是把它們單獨放到一起，看起來是凌亂的、不完整的，但它們合在一起就有了意義。一旦所有的部分聚集在一起，你就可以看到更大的圖景。你必須能夠看到你生活中的大圖景，或者至少要有信心你的拼圖遲早會拼在一起的。

 

But your puzzle won't come together unless you have your eyes open. If you quit and walk away, your puzzle will never come together. If you give up at the first sign of struggle you might not get to see the bigger picture of your life. Your masterpiece will come together, piece by piece if you keep going.

除非你用心觀察，否則你的拼圖是不會拼在一起的。如果你直接放棄，轉(zhuǎn)頭就離開，你的拼圖永遠(yuǎn)不會拼上。如果你一看到挫折的跡象就放棄，你可能根本看不到生活的全貌。如果你繼續(xù)前進(jìn)的話，你的杰作將會慢慢成型，拼圖就會一塊一塊地拼起來。

 

Your pain is a part of the puzzle that is your life. You might think to yourself, I could do without those pieces, but without them you're not whole, you're missing something. Every single part of a puzzle is as important as the next piece, and likewise every single event of your life made you who you are today.

你的痛苦是你生命拼圖的一部分。你可能會想，沒有那些痛苦的碎片我也能做得到，但是沒有它們你就不是完整的，你漏掉了什么。拼圖的每一塊都一樣重要。同樣的，你生命中的每一件事都造就了今天的你。

 

Without pain and struggle you wouldn't have strength and character. Without negative people you might not appreciate the positive people in your life. Without that rejection or break up you might not have been guided to something better. Without that person saying you couldn't do it, you might not have had the motivation to do it. Without sadness and depression you might lack the compassion and caring you have today. Without experiencing what YOU DO NOT WANT… you may not be so clear as to what you do want. Without painful endings you may not have been led to that great new beginning.

沒有痛苦和挫折，你就不會有力量和個性；沒有消極的人，你可能不會欣賞你生活中那些積極的人；如果沒有這種拒絕或分手，你可能就不會被引導(dǎo)去做更好的事情；如果沒有那個人說你做不到，你可能就沒有動力去做；如果沒有悲傷和沮喪，你可能會缺乏今天所擁有的同情心和關(guān)心；不去體驗?zāi)悴幌塍w驗的…你可能不會清楚你到底想要什么。如果沒有痛苦的結(jié)局，你可能就不會被帶到那個偉大的新開始。

 

There is a reason and a purpose in everything, and a true blessing in everything if you can open your eyes to see it and open your heart to know it. Don't ask why me. Don't say I didn't deserve this… Ask How can I use this? How can this make me stronger, better, wiser. Use the pain in your life as fuel to take you wherever you need to go. Use the mess in your life as a blessing to take you some place better. Have faith and trust that some endings are sent for new beginnings.

如果你能睜開你的眼睛去看它，打開你的心去了解它，那么每件事都有它的原因和目的，在每件事中都蘊含著真正的好事。別問為什么是我。別說我配不上這個…問我要怎么利用這個？這怎么能讓我變得更強，更好，更聰明。那就用你生命中的痛苦作為燃料，把你帶到你需要去的地方。把生活中的亂七八糟當(dāng)作一種祝福，把你帶到一個更好的地方。要有信心，相信有些結(jié)局的到來就是為了新的開始。

 

It might not feel great at the time, but keep your head up and be open to the fact that you deserve better and if you keep believing you'll get better. Be open to the fact that you can't see the rest of the puzzle just yet… but just trust it will be a masterpiece… If you keep believing, have faith, keep growing and working on yourself… everything will come together perfectly… at the right time.

這在當(dāng)時可能感覺不是很好，但你要昂首挺胸，接受這樣一個事實：你應(yīng)該得到更好的，如果你一直相信，那你就會變得更好。接受這樣一個事實：你雖然還看不到拼圖的其余部分，…但要相信它會成為一個杰作...如果你一直相信，有信心，繼續(xù)成長和提升自己，一切都會在正確的時間完美地結(jié)合在一起。

 

All of us experience pain and hard times… only some of us USE that pain to grow. Don't just go through it. Grow through it. It will make you better if you can find the courage inside you to keep going. Come out the other side of your pain stronger, better and wiser. Your greatest life can not be lived without the strength that comes from your struggles.

我們所有人都經(jīng)歷過痛苦和艱難的時刻…只有一部分人利用這種痛苦來成長。不要只是經(jīng)歷這件事。要從這件事情中獲得成長。如果你能找到繼續(xù)前進(jìn)的勇氣，那你會變得更好。從痛苦的另一面走出來，讓自己變得更強，更好，更明智。不從挫折中汲取力量，你的生活就談不上偉大。

 

Your best life cannot be lived without great challenges. Trust this is a part of life. Find the purpose in the pain. Be one of the few who see the message in the mess. Be one of the few who gain the strength through the struggle. Who see the blessing in the lessons. The Rock once said: "I like to use the hard times in the past to motivate me today". Use the hard times of your past to motivate you, not as an excuse, but as your purpose.

沒有巨大的挑戰(zhàn)，你就過不上最好的生活。相信這是生活的一部分。在痛苦中找到目的。只有少數(shù)幾個能在混亂中看到其意義，那就成為這少數(shù)人中的一員。只有少數(shù)幾個通過斗爭獲得力量，那就成為這少數(shù)人之一。成為在教訓(xùn)中看到祝福的人。巨石強森曾經(jīng)說過："我喜歡利用過去的艱難時光來激勵今天的我"，用你過去的艱難時光來激勵你，不是作為你退縮借口，而是作為你前進(jìn)的目標(biāo)。
