考研英語作文：Dance Like No Ones Watching(旁若無人地縱情跳舞)

Dance Like No One’s Watching

     We always convince ourselves that life will be better alter we get married, have a baby, then another.  Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are. After that we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly  be  happy  when they are out of that stage.

     We  always tell  ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, and are able to go on a nice vocation, when we retire. The truth is,there’s no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.

     One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. 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 your kids leave home;until you start work, 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, and dance like no one’s watching.

旁若無人地縱情跳舞

    我們總是說服自己在我們結婚生子后，生活會變得更美好。然而接下來我們又為孩子太小而煩惱，同時又認為等孩子大了，我們的生活會更令人滿意些。但等孩子長大了，我們又為要照顧十幾歲的孩子不開心。這時我們又想等孩子過了青春期，我們肯定會幸福。

    我們總是告訴自己，只要夫妻雙方消除分歧，只要我們有一輛更美觀大方的汽車，并且能度一次美好的假期，只要我們退休了，生活必定幸福美滿。而事實是，現(xiàn)在才是黃金時期。若非此時，會是何時?我們的生活將總是充滿挑戰(zhàn)。我們最好承認這一事實，不管怎樣都要保持快樂的心境。

    我很欣賞弗雷德·蘇澤的一則名言：“長久以來我一直覺得生活就要開始——一種真正的生活。但總有一些障礙，比如：急于完成的事務、沒有干完的工作、仍要任職的時期、未償還的債務，這些都得先克服，然后真正的生活才會開始。終于我明白了不斷克服障礙才是我真正有意義的生活。”這一觀點使我明白沒有通往幸福之路。幸福本身就是這條路。因此，珍惜你所擁有的每一刻，記住時不待人。在你完成學業(yè)，在你重返學校，在你結婚，在你離婚，在你生子，在你的孩子離開家，在你開始工作，在你退休，在你有了一輛新車或一個新家，在春天來臨，在你獲得新生時，記住此時此刻才是最快樂的…
