How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to feel the straps on your shoulders. Feel 'em? Now I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life. Start with the little things, the things on shelves and in drawers the knick-knacks, the collectibles. Feel the weight as that adds up. 你的生活有多重？花一秒钟时间，想像你自己身负包裹。现在，我要你感觉到肩带勒住肩膀的感觉。感觉到了么？接着我请你把生活中的一切都放进去。从小的开始，架子上的、抽屉里的小摆设，各种收集来的物品。一边往里头放，一边掂掂分量。 Then you start adding larger stuff - clothes, table-top appliances, lamps, linens, your TV... The backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. And you go bigger. Your couch, bed, your kitchen table. Stuff it all in there. Your car, get it in there. Your home, whether it's a studio apartment or a two-bedroomed house. I want you to stuff it all into that backpack. Now try to walk. It's kind of hard, isn't it? 然后放大物件——衣服、桌上设备、台灯桌布电视机。这会儿包裹该挺重了。更大的东西往里头搁。你们家的沙发、床、餐桌。所有东西都塞包里。车子，进去。房子，管它是独门别墅还是两房一厅。我要你统统它们都塞进你的包裹。好了，现在试着挪动下。举步维艰了，是不是？ This is what we do to ourselves on a daily basis. We weigh ourselves down until we can't even move. And make no mistake moving is living. Now, I'm gonna set that backpack on fire. What do you want to take out of it? Photos? Photos are for people who can't remember. Drink some ginkgo and let the photos burn. In fact, let everything burn and imagine waking up tomorrow with nothing. It's kind of exhilarating, isn't it? 日复一日的生活，我们就是这么对待自己的。我们不断给自己增加负担，直到自己寸步难移。但毫无疑问，生命在于移动。我现在想要一把火烧掉这个包裹。你想从中取出些什么来？照片么？照片是给健忘人士留念的。喝一口酒，照片烧了。要不咱就把所有东西都烧了算了，明天一早醒来发觉自己身轻如燕。这不是件很爽的事儿么？ This is how I start every day of my life. Now, this is gonna be a little difficult, so stay with me. 这就是我，如何开始自己一天的生活。不过这次有点不同，继续跟上我的步伐。 You have a new backpack. Only this time, I want you to fill it with people. Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office. And then the people you trust with your most intimate secrets - your cousins, your aunts, your uncles, your brothers, your sisters, your parents, and finally your husband, your wife, your boyfriend or your girlfriend.You get them into that backpack. |
