一、Life is all about stupidity 人生貴在糊涂

We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.

我們每個人，在不同時期，都曾經(jīng)像一個搖滾歌星那樣，伴著我們最愛的那首歌又唱又跳.很多人在小時候，甚至是已長大成人，都曾在我們自己房間和家里這樣的隱秘空間里這樣做過。我呢?我喜歡在開車的時候這樣!打開收音機，找一首會唱的歌，很快我就會張開雙臂，隨著節(jié)奏起舞。大部分時候，我在上班的路上這么做。

Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!

是的，那是真的。我會穿上我漂亮的工作服，在堵車和遇到交通燈時，有人就會用奇怪的眼神看著我，或者笑我。對我個人而言，我喜歡沉浸在一首歌的節(jié)奏中，由此我愿和你們分享：為人糊涂貴在何處。

The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!

糊涂一詞在字典中的定義是：愚蠢的，傻，荒謬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他們在生活中始終一臉嚴肅，而這在本質(zhì)上才是真正的愚笨。

No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don"t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?

人無完人，我重申一次：沒有人是完美的。我不在乎一個人學(xué)識多深，身材多好，外表多美，思想多淺薄，生活多儉樸，多富有，等等 人無完人!那么，為什么要偽裝成我們實際上本不是的呢?

Life is so short You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:

人生何其短暫 你不會知道這美好的征程何時會結(jié)束，那么，為什么要浪費一分一秒，讓自己變得棱角分明?這里引用索薩的話，我覺得她一語中的，是人生的一大秘方。

Dance as though no one is watching you, Love as though you have never been hurt before, 　　Sing as though no one can hear you,

Live as though heaven is on earth.

跳舞吧，就像沒有人欣賞一樣，去愛吧，就像沒有受到傷害一樣，唱歌吧，就像沒有人傾聽一樣，生活吧，就像今天是最后一天一樣。

When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.

當(dāng)我們還是孩子，我們天不怕，地不怕，無憂無慮，所以我們可以不在乎自己再別人眼中的形象去做事情。然而，當(dāng)我們長大，我們失去了那種天真爛漫。

So don"t lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn"t want to feel good?

所以，不要丟失你心中那個小孩。下次你感到沮喪時，去打開你最愛的那首歌吧，隨之歌唱起舞，就像沒有明天一樣?；蛘呖袋c能讓你笑的東西。笑聲是除去任何煩惱良方，沒有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我，你會好受很多，誰又不想讓自己好受呢?

二、 The Importance of Mutual Understanding 相互理解的重要性

The world is full of diversity, the people belong to different culture, language and faith, they represent numerous tradition, custom and value, it is easier to perceive that people are different than they are the similar. So achieving mutual understanding is not just a matter of importance, but also of necessity.

世界充滿了多樣性，人們來自不同的文化，語言和信仰，他們代表著不同的傳統(tǒng)，習(xí)俗和價值，相對于彼此間的相似性，我們很容易察覺到人們之間的差異性。因此達到互相理解不僅重要，而且也很必要。

On the one hand, mutual understanding is the basis of building friendships and relationships. Only the two sides of people understand each other, can they put away the difference and cooperate with each other. Difference exists all the time, but sometimes people need to reach the agreement, making things work efficiently, if each of them understand each other and are willing to making agreement, it will be good for them to keep the long-term cooperate relationship.

在一方面，互相理解是建立友誼和各種關(guān)系的基礎(chǔ)。只有當(dāng)兩方的人互相理解，他們才能把異議放到一邊，互相合作。異議一直都存在，但是有時候人們需要達成共識，提高辦事效率，如果他們可以彼此理解，愿意達成共識，這有利于他們建立長期的合作關(guān)系。

On the other hand, mutual understanding can make people avoid conflicts. It is impossible for people to agree with the others all the time, they have different cultures, so they will deal with things in different ways, maybe some will against the other's way. At this moment, we need to respect people's religion, never argue with them, just to avoid conflicts.

另一方面，互相理解可以讓人們避免沖突。人們之間不可能一直保持意見一致，他們有不同的文化，因此他們在處理事情方面會有不同的方式，也許一些人的做法和另一方相悖。在這個時候，我們需要尊重人們的信仰，不要和他們爭論，避免沖突。

In conclusion, we should share each other's culture and tradition, so we can come to mutual understand, making things work better and create a harmonious world.

總的來說，我們應(yīng)該分享彼此的文化和傳統(tǒng)，這樣我們才可以互相理解，讓事情更好地進展，創(chuàng)造一個和諧的世界。
