The Joy of Living-生活的樂趣
Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy donot need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.
生活之樂趣來源於良好的'情緒，信賴這些情緒，並任由它們如同鳥兒高翔於天空般地自由自在。生活的樂趣是無法靠姿態擺出來的，也無法用戴上一張面具來僞裝。 擁有這種樂趣的人們無需掛在嘴邊，他們自然會煥發出快樂的氣息。他們自己生活在快樂當中，也將這樣的快樂自然而然地感染着他人，猶如是鳥兒就必將歌唱。
We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.
直接追求生活的樂趣卻只會使樂趣遠離我們，它與幸福一樣青睞胸有大志的人們。生活過得高雅、簡單便會產生出
樂趣。它是我們對生活的投入，而非所求。
The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go life is a paradox: it enjoins us to cling to its many gifts even while it ordains their eventual relinquishment rabbis of old put it this way;”a man comes to this world with his fist clenched, but when he dies ,his hand is open.”
生活的妙決在於懂得何時抓緊，何時放手。因爲人生就是一對矛盾體：它即令我們抓緊人生的多種賜予，同時它又要我們到頭來把這些賜予放棄。老一輩猶太學者是這樣說:”一個人握緊拳頭來到這個世界，但他卻是鬆開手掌離開這世界的。”
Surely we ought to hold fast to life ,for it is joy, and full of a beauty that breaks through every pore of God”s own earth know that this is so ,but all too often we recognize this truth only in our backward glance when we remember what was and then suddenly realize that it is no more.
毫無疑問，我們應該牢牢抓住生命，因爲它的樂趣，它有一種在上地創造的世界裏無孔不入，無處不在的美。我們大家都知道這一點。可我們卻常常是在回首往事想起它時，才能認識這一真理。
