钻孔灌注桩是摩擦桩吗:值得考虑的三大人生问题

  本帖写自格文

The short story The Three Questions by Leo Tolstoy has 3 questions posed and I’m willing to bet that you’ll get 1 answer right and 2 wrong. The questions are:

          列夫托尔斯泰的短篇小说《三问》里提出了三个问题，我猜想你们会答对一题，错两题。三个问题如下：

1. When is the most important time?

1.人生中最重要的时刻是什么时候？

2. Who is the most important person?

 2.谁是你人生中最重要的人？

3. What is the most important thing you can do?

   3.你所能做的最重要的事情是什么？

When is the most important time?

人生中什么时刻是最重要的呢？

If you answered “now”, then you are right. It’s not the past; it’s not the future, but right here right now.

如果你的回答是现在，那你就答对了。人生最重要的时刻不在于过去，也不在于将来，现在恰恰是人生的黄金时刻。

Why now? The past is just a memory. There’s nothing you can do to change what has already happened. It’s done, it’s over, it’s gone and there is no getting it back.

为什么是现在呢？因为过去已成回忆，你无法改变已经发生的事，一切已经尘埃落定，无法挽回。

The future is just an idea. It’s your prediction of what’s going to happen and sometimes your prediction is right and sometimes it isn’t. The problem with the future is it’s just an idea that you can become attached to and when things don’t work out as planned you feel a sense of loss as “this wasn’t the way things were supposed to happen.”

而将来则仅是一个意想。它只不过是你对未来要发生的事的预测，有对有错。将来要面临何种境况仅仅是你对现状不满而若有所失所萌生的一个意想，这种意想往往偏向于弥补不尽人意的现实，是理想化的未来。

That leaves us with now. This very hour, minute, second is all we really have. It’s the most important time and it’s where you can have an impact. The past is just a ghost of a memory and the future is simply an idea.

所以，过去的不可逆转性，将来的预知理想化表明只有现在才是人生真实。我们现在所拥有的每一个小时，每一分，每一秒，都是真实可感的。现在才是成大事的最要的时刻，而过去仅仅是一缕回忆，将来只不过是一抹思云。

I’m guessing this is the question you got right.

我猜这个问题你不会答错。

Who is the most important person?

那谁是你人生中最重要的人呢？

Most people will answer that the most important person is me, my spouse, or my kids. I’m afraid I disagree with those answers.

不出意料的话，大多数人会答自己，爱人，或者孩子是人生中最重要的人。我恐怕不能认同这些答案。

The most important person is the person you are with. When you’re in a meeting with your boss, she’s the most important person. When you’re in a cab, the driver is the most important person. When you’re with your kids, they are the most important. Alone with your spouse, she’s the most important. And when you are sitting alone by yourself, you guessed it, YOU are the most important person.

人生中最重要的人是你在不同场合所陪伴的人。与老板一起开会时，她就是你的指挥官；乘坐出租车时，司机就是你生命的掌舵人；跟孩子在一起时，他们就是你的全部。与爱人在一起时，他就是你的幸福。当你闲坐庭院时，不用多想，你就是自己最重要的人了。

Got that one wrong? How about this one:

知道上面那个问题为什么错了吧？再来看下一题：

What is the most important thing you can do?

你所能做的最重要的事情是什么呢？

The most important thing you can do is to care. Care about your boss — she’s a real person and someone at home loves her very much. Care about your cab driver — he may be saving a friend’s life tomorrow. Care about your kids — they will one day be raising their own kids with the all the skills you give them today. Care about your spouse — they’re standing by you despite your flaws and weaknesses.

你所能做的最重要的事情就是关心他人。关心老板——要知道老板也是常人，跟我们一样有喜怒哀乐，也有疼爱她的家人。关心出租车司机——也许明天你将可能为他挽救你朋友的生命而对他心存感激。关心孩子——总有一天他们也会为人父母，今天你所教会他们的东西会对他们今后教育孩子有深刻影响。

The most important time is now, the most important person is the person you are with, and the most important thing you can do is to care.

总之，最重要的时刻是现在，最重要的人是你在不同场合所陪伴的人，最重要的事是关心他人。

Life has no guarantees and we have no idea of how the future will play out. The people you are interacting with now may be saving your life in 10 minutes time, they may be the last people you will ever see. How do you want to act in the last moments of your life? Alternatively, maybe they are the next to go, how do you want to act with them in the last moments of their life? It may sound morbid but we are all here for a very short time and we may not know when or how but eventually we will all go.

人生是一张不知道终点在哪的车票，我们不能预料自己将会有怎样的人生旅程。那些出现在你人生旅途中的人可能在不久的十分钟后成为你的救命恩人。他们中有的人可能会是伴你走过人生最后一程的人。在生命的最后一刻，你最想做什么呢？或者换做是他们即将走完人生之路，你想和他们做什么呢？这样问或许令人费解，但人生短暂，我们虽不知道生命会在什么时候，以什么样的方式终结，但终难逃一死。

The past is gone, the future is undefined, but this very minute is yours to enjoy. How are you spending it? Are you reading this article when you should be apologizing or saying “I love you” to someone? Should you be making steps to getting out of debt or taking time for yourself?

过去不再回来，将来无从把握，但我们可以享受现在这一刻的美好。你打算怎么过呢？当你在读着这篇文章的时候，是不是应该对某人说声抱歉或是说“我爱你”？或者你是不是应该计划慢慢还清债务或是好好享受美好人生？

What should you be doing with this gift of time? This very hour, minute, second.

你打算怎么用好这份时间大礼呢？就趁现在。
