美國總統(tǒng)羅斯福的家曾經(jīng)失竊，財物損失嚴(yán)重。朋友聞此消息，就寫信來安慰他，勸他不必把這件事放在心上。

President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,”Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief…”

羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)很快回信說：“親愛的朋友，謝謝你來信安慰我，我一切都很好。我想我應(yīng)該感謝上帝，因?yàn)椋旱谝唬覔p失的只是財物，而人卻毫發(fā)未損;第二，我只損失了部分財物，而非所有財產(chǎn);第三，最幸運(yùn)的是，做小偷的是那個人，而不是我……”

It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from.. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.

對任何人來說，家中失竊絕非幸事。但是，羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)卻能找到三個感恩的理由。這個故事告訴我們，生活中，我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會感恩。

Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a GREat wisdom. . It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. smile and so will it when you cry to it. ” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight.

感恩是一項(xiàng)重要的處世哲學(xué)，是生活的大智慧。人生在世，不可能事事順通。對于各種失敗和不幸，我們要豁達(dá)大度，勇敢地面對，并想辦法解決。

We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, rise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it , it will also

面對困難，我們是懊惱抱怨、沮喪氣餒，陷入絕望，還是對生活滿懷感恩之心，跌倒后再爬起來呢?英國著名作家威廉·薩克雷說過，“生活是一面鏡子，你對它笑，它也會對你笑;你對他哭，它也會對你哭。”

If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful, we can surely have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.

如果對生活感恩，你的生命將充滿燦爛的陽光;如果一味怨恨，終將一無所獲。我們成功時，有千萬個理由感恩生活，而失敗時，只要一個借口就會表現(xiàn)出忘恩負(fù)義。

I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.

我想，不論是遭遇失敗還是不幸，我們都應(yīng)該感謝生活。只有這樣，失敗后，我們才能發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的缺點(diǎn)和不足，不幸時，我們還能感受到安慰和溫暖。這些就能幫我們找回勇氣，戰(zhàn)勝困難，并獲取前進(jìn)的強(qiáng)大推動力。我們應(yīng)像羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)那樣，換一個角度去看待生活中的失敗和挫折，永遠(yuǎn)對生活充滿感恩，才能時刻保持健康的心態(tài)，積極地生活，并能保持完美的人格和不斷進(jìn)取的精神。感恩不僅僅是一種精神慰藉，也不是對現(xiàn)實(shí)的規(guī)避，更不是阿Q的精神勝利法。感恩源于我們對生活的熱愛和希望，它是我們歌頌生活的一種方式。

When we put a small piece of alum into muddy water, we can see the alum can soon make the water clear. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll be able to get rid of impulse, upset, dissatisfaction and misfortune. Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.

把一小塊明礬放入混沌的水中，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，水很快就澄清了。如果人人都有一顆感恩的心，就能沉淀許多的浮躁和不安，消融許多的不滿和不幸。感恩能讓我們的生活變得更加美好。
