看 one tree hill 的頹廢午後

明明今天就得生出一篇像樣的報告，卻... 搞頹廢...
看了一下午的影集.
越到交作業的截止時間，越被ㄚ撒布魯的事吸引，
連洗衣服、晾衣服這種事也充滿樂趣，一連洗了兩桶衣服...
還樂在其中，
真糟糕...

今天看到的 one tree hill (籃球兄弟) 的片段 -- 竟是阿寶姨當年在紐約唸書時，跟媽媽強力推薦 one tree hill 時，介紹的那一段。
one tree hill 實在不是媽媽的菜，所以劇情不是很清楚，這段話是籃球教練說的，說話的背景好像是他被革職之後的感慨吧，如果有誤，one tree hill 迷 --ㄚ寶姨別忘了提點一下...

It's been fifty years, fifty long years since I've done this.

Looking back on what I said all those years ago,

all the hopes and dreams I had,

I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life,

(這句比較難，我翻一下好了 -- 我得到一個結論，如果人生的每件事都如你所願是一個成功人生的指標)

then some would say I'm a failure.

(那有些人可能會說我是失敗者 -- 其實教練並不認同這樣的想法，他真正的想法在後面... )

The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments.

(人生最重要的是不要因為人生中不順遂的事情而變成一個憤世忌俗的人) (代表人物就是"誰搬走我的乳酪"那書中發現乳酪不見，不想辦法解決，而是在那怨天尤人的那兩個 little people)

Learn to let go of the past.

And recognize that every day won't be sunny,

and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair,

remember it's only in the black of night you see the stars.

And those stars will lead you back home.

So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall,

(be)cause most of the time,

the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most.

Maybe you'll get everything you wish for.

Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined.

Who knows where life will take you.

The road is long and in the end,

the journey is the destination.

(我最喜歡最後一句，我翻譯成 "當旅程就是你的目的地"，意思是指活在當下，人生並不是只有達到目的地才有意義，人生中踏出的每一步都很有意義，如果我們知道珍惜現在。)

這段話真的超能觸動人心的...

對了，作業順利交出去囉!
