1、关于快乐的英语文章欢乐的秘诀文 / 马特·法尔译文 / sparkler在机场书店,只有大约一打是特地的书架。这也应归咎于达尔文那野蛮的进化论:只有最流行的作家,最新的小说以及那些被公认的经典作品才得以幸存。你不行能在这里找到王尔德、伏尔泰乃至海明威这些名气稍差一点的作家的作品-因为这里已经没有足够的空间来摆放它们了。简·奥斯丁的作品也只是那种最一般的平装本,至于埃德加·艾伦·坡的则只会在万圣节前夕才会被放上书架。这里更不会有休斯博士的诗集。但是,这里却有整整一架子自助之类的书。人们总为那些诸如怎样怎样让自己更具魅力、更聪慧、更苗条之类的

2、书着迷。你可以买本书来提高自己的单词量,也可以一目十行地啃下一大堆教你如何如何提高工作效率、更残酷、更快地往上爬之类的书,也可以看那些教你如何停下来赏闻路边玫瑰、怎样更好地享受人生之类的书,甚至还有书教你如何支配自己的洗手间。全部这些都围围着这样一个基本的主题:我们都希望欢乐,我们都希望被爱、希望发觉生活的真谛,还希望体验到因自我奉献而对四周带来的变更。这就是了。所以我们这个方脑袋专栏,就是要告知你欢乐的秘诀。多吃几块饼干。少吃一块饼干并不会让你看起来更苗条或者曲线更美丽。所以,接着放心地吃饼干吧,我举荐那种双面巧克力,中间还有巧克力馅儿的那种。无论是在汽车里、电梯间、超市、特殊在crate

3、& barrel and pottery barn这样的商店里,都要哼哼歌。在医院的走廊上,在会见重要客户的会议上,也要哼歌。当人们注目你的时候,朝他们眨挤眼睛。自己做冰棍。周末呆在家里,并拔掉电话插座。带上一根塑料吸管,去一家有特色的餐馆吃饭。在你喝完杯中的最终一滴可乐之前,肯定要发出咕噜咕噜的声音。只点菜单上你从来没听说过的东西-类似名叫gkaeng cheud bplah meuk yad sai (鱿鱼汤加纳帕甘蓝或南瓜) 之类的。去跟生疏人交谈。收集那些虽不算珍贵,但是却很难找到的东西。在公共场合出现的时候戴一顶很怪异的帽子。存一大罐硬币并埋在你家后面的院子里。然后画一张藏宝

5、这一天要用欧洲腔来说明为什么这么不端庄的缘由。中止你手上毫无意义的工作,然后集中全力去学摩洛哥长笛。去放放风筝。不要再把生命奢侈在学摩洛哥长笛上,去找一份实在的工作。在图书馆、教堂、本地的汤馆或是居住区去充当义工。衣服肯定要穿得破烂到你常常会被认为是贫困一族的程度。加入某一个保龄球联盟。买一个大红色的保龄球,取名为戈尔巴契夫。开车到最近的国家森林公园去。背一大包油煎鸡块和饼干步行一英里。然后找个干净的,不会碰上其它单身人士的地方搞一次野餐。用整个下午的时间盯着天上的云发呆、做白日梦。考虑考虑自己喜爱做的事儿。现在可以多去做做。遇见某人, 堕入情网, 然后华蜜地生活。how to be happ
