“It’s like the ebb and flow of every relationship,” Aniston says. “It’s hard; it gets easy; it gets fun again. What’s hard to sustain is some ideal that it’s perfect. That’s ridiculous. What’s fantastic about marriage is getting through those ebbs and flows with the same person, and looking across the room and saying, ‘I’m still here. And I still love you.’ You re-meet, reconnect. You have marriages within marriages within marriages. That’s what I love about marriage. That’s what I want in marriage. It’s unfortunate, but we live in a very disposable society. Those moments where it looks like ‘Uh-oh, this isn’t working!’—those are the most important, transformative moments. Most couples draw up divorce papers when they’re missing out on an amazing moment of deepening and enlightenment and connection.”
　　　　
She sighs heavily and turns away to light a Merit cigarette. “That’s not Brad’s view of it,” she says, glum again. “We believe in different things, I guess. You can’t force a relationship, even if it’s your view of how you would like it to be conducted. Obviously two people leave a relationship because there’s a different thought pattern happening. My goal is to try and achieve a very deep, committed relationship. That’s what I’m interested in, but it’s someone’s prerogative to be or not to be in or out of a relationship.

“每段关系都有漩涡和波浪，有时很艰难，有时很宁静，有时充满乐趣。最艰难的时刻往往是你想追求一种完美的境界，但那是可笑而不现实的。婚姻最神奇之处在于，在经过了那么多漩涡和波浪后，站在你身边的还是同一个人，你仍然深切地感受到，自己爱着对方。每次争执，总能让你们重新相遇，重新相知，重新相爱，在婚姻中，你们再展开一段新的婚姻，如此永远延续，没有终点。这就是我喜欢婚姻的原因，也是我希望从婚姻中得到的。但是很不幸，我们生活在一个任性的时代里，一遇到问题，首先想到的就是‘糟糕，过不下去了’，那是最重要、决定性的时刻，因为一旦有了这种想法，人们自然而然就签订了离婚协议，他们不知道，自己已经错过互相迁就、互相认错、重新证明爱情的机会，那才是最美好的。但是很遗憾，这不是他的婚姻观。我们的观点完全不同，若观点根本不一致，就无法勉强继续一段关系。我希望获得的是灵魂深处最忠诚的关系，但是他有权选择另一种形式，于是他选择分手。”

导语：在那些浪漫被认为是必须的时刻，比如情人节、生日或者纪念日，我们应该记住，我们应该将感情与行为相区分。男人们也许不会做那些展现他和恋人一起度过的日子的剪贴簿，但是他们和女人们一样的去爱，忠诚，是的，这就是浪漫——有时，他们甚至比女性更浪漫！

美文：are men romantic? 谁说男人不浪漫？

we too often define “romantic” in women’s terms - sending flowers and cards, saving mementos and putting them in a box or scrapbook, gushing over chick romance movies, or listening to romantic songs all day.

men may not do these things, but many men do something more romantic than all that: they keep their love in their hearts forever.

my survey of 3000 men and women worldwide who tried reunions with lost loves asked, “how long did it take for you to get over your lost love?” responses from the men indicated that they took significantly longer to get over their lost loves than the women. some of the men were not satisfied with the survey choices: the last choice listed was, “over 10 years.” only men crossed out all the choices and wrote, “i never got over her!” while no doubt some women never got over their lost loves, either, only men wrote this comment on the survey.

adolescent boys are “not supposed” to cry over lost loves. but many of my male participants reported that, after their high school girlfriends broke up with them, they cried in private, every night, for months.

[!–empirenews.page–]

my lost love reunion findings about romantic men paralleled results of my survey of adults who never tried lost love reunions. there were significantly more men than women who chose to fill out the survey, and they expressed strong feelings for their first loves, even though they had not contacted these women (and may never do so).

posts on the message board of my web site, lostlovers.com, are more represented by women than men. but appearances are misleading. actually, there are more men who are members of my site than women. the men don’t post as often as the women, but they are reading!

men more often sign up for private phone consultations to talk about their lost loves than women.

but it is a rare men’s magazine that will print a story about love and romance. the editors tell me that they think men are uninterested. not so! when my research was quoted in playboy, it generated a lot of responses.

on occasions where romance is expected (such as valentine’s day, birthdays or anniversaries), we should all remember to separate emotions from behaviors. men may not make scrapbooks of mementos of their love experiences, but they are every bit as loving, loyal, and yes, romantic, as women - and sometimes more so!

Life is filled with regrets. Ask anyone around you what their regrets are and they usually have no difficulty coming up with many items on their “regret list.” And for some reason our twenties are ripe for a field of regrets.
人生总是充满遗憾。问问你周围的人他们有没有遗憾的事情，他们会轻而易举的列出一大堆“遗憾清单”。由于某些原因，20多岁最容易犯错的年纪。

Perhaps it’s because as we get older we look back on that period of adulthood as the height of freedom and autonomy. As move into middle age, we look back and wish that we had made better choices and taken more opportunities. Here’s a list of things that we regret not doing in our 20s.
也许是因为随着年龄的增长，当我们再次回顾那段时光，会发现那是一段充满自由和独立的时光。随着我们步入中年，我们经常希望：要是我们能再有更多选择的机会多好啊！以下就列举了一些如果我们在20来岁没有做就会让我们后悔的事情：

1. Traveling more
多旅行

I regret not travelling more, and so does nearly everyone that I have asked. Before kids, and mortgages and marriages, when our commitments and expenses were lower, the opportunities for travel were much greater, but for some reason many of us thought we’d always have time for travel later.
我后悔没有到更多的地方去旅行，而且几乎我问过的每个人都会这样说。在有孩子之前、在抵押贷款和结婚之前，在我们需要承担的责任和花销较少时，正是旅游的大好机，但是由于种种原因，我们总觉得我们以后会有更多的时间去旅行。

We dreamed of visiting the pyramids of Egypt, surfing off the Hawaiian coast, dining at a Parisian café, drinking espresso in Rome, trekking through the rainforest, and so much more. Sadly, many of us never made these journeys and the opportunity passed us by.
我们梦想过去埃及看金字塔，在夏威夷海边冲浪，在巴黎的咖啡馆共进晚餐，在罗马品尝香浓的咖啡，徒步穿越热带雨林等等诸如此类的计划。可悲的是，大部分人都没有付诸行动，只是看着机会白白溜走。

2. Investing early
早投资

How many times have we kicked ourselves for not starting our 401Ks，in our twenties, for not putting our excess cash in long term investments, for not investing in our future early. No matter how much we try, we can never get back the head start that we missed. Playing catch up in our 40’s and 50’s is very difficult.
多少次回想我们都恨不得踢自己一脚：为什么不在20来岁就开始401K（小编注：美国的一种养老金制度）计划，为什么没有将多余的现金用于长期投资，为什么没有早早的为我们未来投资。不管我们再怎么努力，错过的时光都不会重来了。等到我们四五十岁的时候再奋起直追已为时已晚了。

3. Being more responsible with spending
更合理的安排支出

In order to invest in our retirement or save for that down payment, we would have needed to make wiser financial spending choices. Things like buying or holding on to that perfectly reliable used car, instead of splurging on the new model…because we could, eating out less and saving for a house instead, buying fewer shoes and purses and clothes and paying off student loans sooner. So many saving opportunities lost, money spent on tangible things, instead of on the future.
为了退休后的投资或房子的首付，我们需要更合理的理财。比如说买一辆不错的二手车，而不是把钱浪费在新款车型上……我们也可以减少外出就餐，攒钱买房子，少买点鞋子和衣服，提前还清助学贷款。这么多的攒钱机会都错过了，我们用钱换来了很多实实在在的物品，却没有更多关注我们的未来。

4. Better planning
更好的规划人生

I regret not focusing more on where I wanted to go in life, what I wanted to do, who I wanted to be and what it would take to get there. With some more planning in our twenties, we’d be further ahead in our 40s and perhaps a bit happier as well.
我后悔我没有仔细思考我的人生道路，我想要做的事情，我想成为一个什么样的人以及如何才能实现。如果在20多岁的时候我们能更好的规划人生，我们在40多岁的时候就会更上一层楼，也许还会感觉到更幸福。

5. Seizing more experiences
更多的人生体验

I wish I had learned to ski and paint, speak Italian and do the Tango. I regret not living somewhere else before settling down. Others have said they regret not pursuing their hobbies or learning to sky dive or mountain climb. I prefer to stay on the ground, but I do regret not learning more, not trying new things that are hard to fit into the life of a forty something working wife and mother.
我多希望我以前学会了滑雪、画画，会说意大利语，会跳探戈。我后悔在安定下来之前没有在别的地方生活过。很多人也都和我一样后悔没有持之以恒的培养自己的爱好，没有学跳伞，没有去爬山。我确实更喜欢务实，但也很后悔没有去学更多的东西，没有尝试新事物，这些事物已经无法再融入一个40岁的全职妻子加母亲的生活中了。

6. Living a more active lifestyle
更积极向上的生活方式

The bodies of youth are wasted on the young… I wish I had run a marathon before my knees ached, that I had biked more, hiked more, and took spinning classes when my legs were stronger. I regret not joining a softball team or volleyball league. We don’t often realize that we have squandered our physical abilities until things start aching and creaking.
年轻的时候，我们肆意的挥霍着我们的青春活力……我多想在我膝关节疼痛之前能跑场马拉松，多骑骑自行车、多走走看看，在腿脚强健的时候多骑骑动感单车。我后悔没有参加垒球社团或排球联盟。总是等到体力透支病痛来袭，我们才意识到年轻时锻炼的可贵。

7. Making more friends
交更多的朋友

I regret not reaching out more, putting more effort into creating a tribe of support that would carry me through more difficult times. We socialize sure, but many of us don’t put enough importance on building deep and lasting friendships. Some do, many don’t and wish they had.
我后悔没有更多的伸出手去，没有更努力去结交那么一伙儿可以陪我度过更多艰难时光的朋友。我们确实也有交际，但是大多数人并没有把重心放在建立更深更持久的友情上面。一些人做到了，但是还有很人却没有，他们希望当初曾为友情努力过。

8. Pursuing a more meaningful career
追求一份更有意义的职业

Many of us wish we had taken more career risks, opted for meaning over money, pursued the career path we wanted instead of what we were expected to do or simply following the path that was laid out before us. How much better to have explored our options and pursued meaningful work in our twenties than to have spent 20 years doing something we don’t love.
大部分人都是听从别人的期待去工作或者按照别人铺好的路去走，而不愿冒更多的职业风险和遵循我们的内心去工作挣钱。比起20多年一直从事自己不喜欢的工作，能在20多岁时自己选择并去追求一份更有意义的工作是多么的好啊！

Life is good; don’t misunderstand. Few of us walk around every day pining for our youth, at least I hope not, but we do occasionally look back with a wistful sigh and wish that we planned more, lived more, and stretched ourselves more when we had the freedom and energy to do so.
毋庸置疑，生活是美好的。很少有人每天四处走走缅怀我们的青春，但是我们确实会偶尔若有所思的边叹气边回忆：多么希望当我们身心自由和精力旺盛的时候，能有更多的计划、更多的活法去扩展自己。

Let’s take steps to banish some of the most common negative thoughts many of us repeat to ourselves. Being in a negative space is harmful to our overall well-being, because what you dwell on can easily become self fulfilling if you don’t change your mindset.
让我们一起行动起来，消灭那些我们经常告诉自己的消极想法吧！如果你不改变想法，而是一味地沉浸在消极的念头中，那么，我们的整个身心就会受到影响，因为“噩梦”也会成真。

1.I’m not good enough.
我不够好。
This type of negative thought that can apply to many categories. Maybe you don’t think you’re a good enough mother or good at a sport. Even if you find yourself lacking in something, there’s no need to keep repeating it to yourself. The human brain is an incredible thing. Be inspired by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Harvard-trained neuroscientist who suffered a stroke that left her unable to walk, read, write, talk, or remember her previous life. Dr. Taylor took eight years to recover and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah. Keep on working toward something, and watch the leaps and bounds you’ll make.
这种消极想法有很多类型。比如你认为自己不是个称职的妈妈或不擅长运动。即使你真的发现了自己的弱点，也没必要对自己不断复述。人脑是神奇的。吉尔泰勒就是个激励的好典型，她是哈佛大学的神经系统学专家，中风后她就失去了行走、阅读、书写、交谈的能力了，甚至还失忆了。她花了八年的时间复原，用自己的经历写了畅销书，还上了奥普拉的节目。坚持做一件事，亲眼见证自己的变化。

2.No one cares about me.
没人关心我。
To accurately say that your family and friends don’t care about you would be a very rare situation. Maybe you’re being too negative and overlooking the gestures of love they show you. They don’t even have to be big gestures, but it’s the little things they do for you that count. And people may be reacting to the energy you’re putting out; perhaps you think they don’t care about you so you don’t make any effort in your relationships. Start showing people you care, so they can show you back in kind. And if you don’t have good relationships with the people you know, what’s stopping you from making new friends?
家人朋友都不关心你，这种情况其实不太常见。可能你过于消极的想法使你忽略了他们对你表达的爱。他们甚至并不需要为你做什么惊天动地的大事，正是一些小事才真正打动人心。或者你觉得没人关心你，所以无需再经营人际关系，但其实也许人们只有在感知到你的付出后，才会对你进行回报；关心别人，别人才会关心你。如果你和周围人的关系处理不好，为何不结交些新朋友？

3.I really dislike this person.
我真的不喜欢这个人。
If you dislike a person in your work or personal life, focusing on her bad qualities is not going to make things better. You need to let go of your assumptions about her and know that she is human too, which means she makes mistakes. Either you move on and stop thinking and talking about her, or learn to approach her or think about her in a positive manner. Focus on her good qualities, and repeat them to yourself instead of honing in on the unpleasant things.
如果工作或生活中有你讨厌的人，只关注她的缺点有害无益。你需要放下对她的所有成见，告诉自己她也是个人，也有犯错的时候。要么就不再谈论她和想着她，要么学着去接近她，或想想她好的一面。多想想她的优点，不要再专注于让你不开心的事情。

4.Why is she better off?
为什么她比我好？
Comparing yourself to someone else is never productive or positive. There’s always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you. If you keep coveting what someone else has, then this may cause you to be resentful of them, which will open a whole other negative can of worms. Remember, what they don’t have is your whole package. Be appreciative of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.
和别人比较永远不是有效率和积极的表现。总有比你年轻，漂亮，聪明，富有的人。如果你始终关注别人拥有什么，会带来你对他们的恨意，随即带来更多消极的想法。记住，你所拥有的也是他们所没有的。珍惜你所拥有的东西，如果真的想和别人比较，也别忘了总有比你差的人。

5.I’ll never reach my goal.
我永远无法达到目标。
If you think you’re not going to be able "get there," think again. There are many people who are worse off and have overcome bigger obstacles than what you are facing. Take, for example, Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, an amputee who overcame his handicap to compete in the Olympics against his able-bodied peers. Everything is within your reach as long as you work hard and have a a positive attitude.
如果你认为自己达不到，再想想。比你差的人比比皆是，他们遇到的困难也比你的更大。比如，奥运会短跑选手刀锋战士奥斯卡·皮斯托利斯，一个被截肢的运动员，战胜了自己的阻碍，在其他健壮的对手中脱颖而出赢得了奥运会的冠军。只要你努力付出，有着积极的信念，任何事都能够做到。

 

  Can it really be sixty-two years ago that I first saw you?
　　我们初次相遇，难道真的是六十二年前吗？

　　It is truly a lifetime, I know. But as I gaze into your eyes now, it seems like only yesterday that I first saw you, in that small café in Hanover Square.
　　年华似水，倏忽间我们已相携一世。望着你的眼睛，当年的邂逅历历如在昨昔，就在汉诺威广场的那间小咖啡馆里。

　　 From the moment I saw you smile, as you opened the door for that young mother and her newborn baby. I knew. I knew that I wanted to share the rest of my life with you.
　　从见到你的那一刻起，那一刻你正为一位年轻的母亲和她的小宝宝开门，那一刻当看到你的盈盈笑靥，我就明白我只愿与你执手携老，共度今生。

　　 I still think of how foolish I must have looked, as I gazed at you, that first time. I remember watching you intently, as you took off your hat and loosely shook your short dark hair with your fingers. I felt myself becoming immersed in your every detail, as you placed your hat on the table and cupped your hands around the hot cup of tea, gently blowing the steam away with your pouted lips.
　    我仍然不时想起，那天自己那样地盯着你，一定很傻；就那样情不自禁怔怔地望着你，追随你摘下小帽，用手指松了松短短的黑发，追随你把帽子放在桌前，双手捧起暖暖的茶杯，追随你微撅樱唇，轻轻吹走飘腾的热气，我的目光始终追随着你，感觉自己在你的温柔举止间慢慢融化。

记得要走在阳光下，无论你这一天遇到什么糟糕的事，当走在阳光下的时候，也会感觉温暖。

greta always said, "dear, keep walking in sunshine!" no matter how terrible my day started, i always felt sunny walking home from greta’s house-even beneath the winter starlight.
葛丽塔总是这样说：“亲爱的，请走在阳光里！”无论我过的每一天是如何糟糕地开始，从葛丽塔的小屋出来走回家的时候，即使是披着冬夜的星光，我都会感觉心情愉悦。

i arrived at greta’s house today just after sunset. an ambulance had stopped a few feet from her door, it’s red lights flashing. when i ran into the old house, greta recognized me right away.
这天，我在傍晚后来到了葛丽塔的家。一辆救护停在她家门口附近，红色的灯在闪烁不停。当我冲进她家的老房子，葛丽塔立刻认出了我。

[!–empirenews.page–]

she smiled at me with her unforgettable twinkling blue eyes. she was almost out of breath when she reached out and softly touched my arm. her last words to me were "dear, keep walking in sunshine!"
她对我微笑，一双令人难忘的蓝眼睛闪烁着光芒。当她艰难地走出来，温柔地抚摸着我的胳膊的时候，她几乎已经奄奄一息。她对我说的最后一句话是：“亲爱的，记得一直要走在阳光下。”

1. positivity
积极

the things you think about, focus on, and surround yourself with ultimately shape who you become. choose to live with gratitude for the love that fills your heart, the peace that rests deep within your spirit, and the voice of hope that whispers, “all things are possible.” right now, pause for a moment and repeat after me: “what i think about and thank about, i will bring about in my life.” 

你所思考的、投入的，以及你周围的一切，最终决定你成为什么样的人。选择做一个因为充满爱心、心境安宁、相信希望的感恩之人，“一切皆有可能。” 现在，暂停手中的事情跟我重复：“我将把我所思考的和感激的所有，实践到我的生活中去。” 

[!–empirenews.page–]

2. patience 

耐心

using time, pressure and patience, the universe gradually changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls, and coal into diamonds. you’re being worked on too, so hang in there. just because something isn’t happening for you right now, doesn’t mean it will never happen.

运用时间、压力和耐心。整个宇宙都是毛毛虫蜕变成蝴蝶、沙土凝聚成珍珠、煤炭提炼出钻石的过程。你也会遵循这样的规律，所以一定要坚持。不要因为你从来没有成功，就认为你永远不会成功。

3. courage

勇气

it is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you aren’t really living at all – you’re merely existing. you cannot always wait for the perfect time; sometimes you must dare to jump. sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage – just literally twenty seconds of uncomfortable bravery – and i promise you, something great will come of it.

[!–empirenews.page–]

生活中想要没有失败基本不可能，除非你生活得过于谨慎，就像你从未真正生活过，你只是存在于此。你不可能坐等时机降临，有时候你需要主动搏一把。有时候你需要的只是刹那疯狂的勇气，我敢说，也许就是那刹那令人不安的勇气，随之而来的就是美妙的经历。

4. love

爱

when love is your guiding light, you can break through barriers to be of loving service to the world. gaining the courage and confidence to stand up for what you believe in is not always easy, but it’s fully within your reach. focus on things that make you the most you – that bring out the best of you, that make you better than you were yesterday, and that allow you to shine your light into the space around you. 

当爱成为你的指明灯，你可以冲破任何艰难险阻为世界上的爱作出贡献。积累勇气和信心来支持你的信念，这并不容易，但这完全在你能力范围之内。关注那些能展现出真正的你、最好的你的东西，这些东西能使你比昨天做得更好，让你散发出感染他人的光芒。

[!–empirenews.page–]

5. truth

事实

tell the truth, or eventually someone will tell it for you. living a life of honesty creates peace of mind, and peace of mind is priceless. don’t be dishonest and don’t put up with people who are.

说真话，或者即使你不说，最终他人也会告诉你事实。诚实的生活态度培养出平和的心境，而这是无价之宝。拒绝虚伪，也不要容忍那些虚伪的人。

6. confession

认错

don’t criticize others for their flaws if you are not willing to confess your own. whatever we refuse to confess about ourselves has a way of rearing its head and making itself known when we least expect it.

如果你不愿意承认自己的缺点，那么就不要批判他人的过错。如果我们拒绝向他人承认的关于自己的一切，最终会在我们最不希望发生的时候冒出头被他人知道。

[!–empirenews.page–]

7. appreciation

感恩

sometimes we end up cheating on others and ourselves simply because we pay more attention to what we’re missing, rather than what we have. instead of thinking about what you’re missing, think about what you have that everyone else is missing.

有时候我们会欺骗他人甚至是我们自己，这仅仅因为我们太过于看重我们失去了什么，而不是我们正拥有着什么。仔细想想别人失去而你正拥有的东西吧！

8. responsibility

责任

in every situation you have ever been in, positive or negative, the one common thread is you. responsibility means recognizing that regardless of what has happened up to this point in your life, you are capable of making choices to change your situation, or to change the way you think about it. 

[!–empirenews.page–]

我们处于的每一种状态，无论积极或是消极，贯穿始终的主线是你自己。责任意味着，你要去意识到，无论是什么导致目前的状况，你都有能力去选择改变现状，或者改变你看待它的方式。

9. growth

成长

you can choose to let your past define you and confine you, or you can choose to learn, grow, and leave it behind you. just like the seasons, you have the ability to change. in many ways, you already have.

你可以选择用过去来诠释你和限制你，或者选择去学习成长，甩开过去的一切。你有能力去改变。从各种方面来说，你已经有了改变的能力。

10. persistence

坚持

all things are difficult before they are easy. it’s not about falling, it’s about getting back up. success is not a skill, it is a persistent attitude.

凡事先难后易。重点不是失败，而是要在困难中站起来。成功不是一种技巧，而是一种持之以恒的心态。

 Many people want to get ahead. Yet, most sit back and critique those who are successful. They wonder how a few are able to excel where the majority struggle.
