我的生活曾经就像每一分钟都很匆忙。我的思绪被一系列无休止的任务所控制。无论我多么努力,都没有足够的时间赶上。
六年前,我很幸运有一个停下来闻闻玫瑰花香的孩子。当我急着离开时,她会慢慢地挑选钱包。当我需要快速吃午饭时,她会和陌生人聊天。我经常对她说“快点!”
有一天,一切都变了。在杂货店,我女儿抱怨说:“你太慢了!”她交叉双臂,恼怒地叹了口气。突然,我从她身上看到了我是如何一直催促她快点的,我匆忙的生活方式是如何伤害她的。
“对不起,”我低声说,“我会更有耐心的。谢谢你教我。”她看起来很惊讶,但还是接受了。从我的演讲中删除“快点”很容易;培养耐心很难。现在,我试着在我们去某个地方之前给她额外的时间做准备。在户外散步时,我让她来定步调。如果她停下来欣赏一些东西,我会把我的议程从脑海中抛出来,只是观察她的笑容和她发现有趣昆虫的方式。她是一个“观察者”,从小事中寻找快乐。
现在,我从不说“快点”。这些话否定了生命本身。暂停简单的快乐是真正生活的唯一途径。

我曾经是一名救生员,想成为2012年伦敦奥运会志愿者的一员。我想这个职位会有成千上万的应聘者,所以我没想到会收到回复。但是,几周后,我被邀请参加为期两天的考试。考试很激烈。有淘汰赛阶段,我只有一次机会。当我经过时,我感到难以置信。我从来没有想过我可以成为世界顶级运动员的救生员。当你在奥运会上担任救生员时,你会学会如何处理从疑似脊髓损伤到哮喘发作的一切。你不是医生,但你有设备,必须做好准备。在奥运会期间,我帮助了一些筋疲力尽的运动员。我们帮助他们走出游泳池,确保他们没事。我还治疗了几名疑似在水球比赛中摔断的鼻子。
我不记得那场比赛了,因为我太专注于检查每个运动员的动作,看看是否有什么不对劲。当我看到运动员们庆祝时,我和他们一起庆祝。当他们失败时,我为他们心碎。奥运选手们很重视我——他们知道我在那里支持他们。他们会为我签名。
今天,我不再是救生员了。但每当我看奥运会,我总是会注意救生员。幕后发生了一些没有人意识到的事情。

(小时候读小说时,我总会不断问父母英语单词的意思。不管我能理解多少,我都会反复翻看这些书),因为阅读本身就令人享受。
Of course, looking up every word in a sentence is no fun. So when I was trying to read books in English, I adopted something similar to a weightlifting ____42____: finding my comfort zone, then pushing a bit beyond it, ____43____, and trying again. It did suck at the beginning but it wasn’t long before I could ____44____ more complexity. I made a goal to ____45____ material just above my comfortable level; if I felt ____46____ when I finished, the next book I chose would be a bit harder. If I got frustrated, I dialled down the ____47____.
所以当我尝试阅读英文书籍时,我采用了类似举重常规训练的方法:找到自己的舒适区,然后稍稍超出这个范围,休息一下,接着再尝试。一开始确实挺糟糕,但没过多久我就能应对更复杂的内容了。我给自己设定了一个目标,即阅读略高于我舒适水平的材料;如果读完一本书后我感到自信,那我接下来选的书就会难一点。如果我觉得很沮丧,我就降低难度。
I embraced practice; the words I could understand were enough to keep me going, even if my ____48____ wasn’t perfect. Reading turned from self-imposed (自我强加的) “study” to a fun, sustainable ____49____. Letting go of the ____50____ — embracing the fact that I didn’t understand every word — helped me ____51____ more ground, allowing me to see phrases and vocabulary over and over in hundreds of ____52____, however imperfect. And I became ____53____ in the stories; I grew ____54____ of the characters and wanted to know what happened next.
我接受练习;我能理解的单词足以让我继续读下去,即便我的理解并不完美。阅读从自我强加的“学习”转变为一种有趣且可持续的习惯。放下对细节的执着——接受我并非每个单词都理解这一事实——帮助我涉猎了更多内容,让我在成百上千的语境中反复看到短语和词汇,尽管并不完美。我逐渐沉浸于故事之中;我开始喜欢上书中的人物,想要知道接下来会发生什么。
It’s as though an ocean has opened up before me, and for now I’m just wading (蹚水) in the shallows — knowing that I’ll ____55____ someday.
这就好像一片海洋在我面前展开,而目前我只是在浅水区蹚水——但我知道总有一天我会畅游其中。
