On the morning of her graduation, she sat at her desk and wrote a letter to her high school English teacher, tears falling onto the paper as she recalled how he had stayed after class to explain grammar to her, how he had encouraged her when she wanted to give up, how he had believed in her when no one else did, and she knew that without him, she would not be where she was today. 毕业那天早上，她坐在书桌前给高中英语老师写了一封信，眼泪落在纸上，她回忆起他如何课后留下来给她讲解语法，如何在她想放弃时鼓励她，如何在别人都不相信她时相信她，她知道没有他，她就不会有今天。 2. The old man stood at the door of the small village clinic, holding the hands of the young doctor who had saved his life, and though he had no money to offer, no gift to give, he bowed deeply and said, I will never forget what you have done for me and my family, and in that simple gesture, in those few words, there was a gratitude that no amount of money could ever express. 老人站在小乡村诊所的门口，握着救了他命的年轻医生的手，虽然他没有钱可以给，没有礼物可以送，但他深深鞠了一躬说：我永远不会忘记你为我和我的家人所做的一切，在那个简单的手势中，在那几句话中，有着任何金钱都无法表达的感激。 3. At the volunteer thank-you dinner, the director stood before the crowd and read aloud a letter from a single mother whose children had been tutored by the volunteers every Saturday for a year, and as she read the words — You have given my children hope, you have given them confidence, you have given them a future — there was not a dry eye in the room, and the volunteers realized that their small acts of kindness had changed lives in ways they had never imagined. 在志愿者感谢晚宴上，主任站在人群前，大声朗读了一位单亲母亲的信，她的孩子们每周六都接受志愿者辅导已经一年了，当她读到这些话——你们给了我的孩子们希望，给了他们信心，给了他们未来——房间里没有一双眼睛是干的，志愿者们意识到他们小小的善举以他们从未想象过的方式改变了生活。 4. She kept the crumpled twenty-dollar bill in her wallet for years, even though she could have spent it a hundred times, for it was the money a stranger had pressed into her hand on the day she had lost her job, her wallet, and her will to go on, and whenever she felt like giving up, she would take it out and remember that there was still goodness in the world, still people who cared, still reason to hope. 她把那张皱巴巴的二十美元钞票放在钱包里很多年，尽管她本可以花掉它一百次，因为那是在她失去工作、钱包和继续前进的意志那天，一个陌生人塞到她手里的钱，每当她想放弃时，她就会把它拿出来，记住世界上还有善良，还有关心的人，还有希望的理由。 5. The Thanksgiving table was covered with food, but what made the day special was not the turkey or the pie, but the moment when each person went around the table and said what they were most grateful for — a mother grateful for her children's health, a father grateful for his wife's support, a teenager grateful for his friends' loyalty, a grandmother grateful for every day she had been given — and in that simple tradition, they were reminded that gratitude is not just a feeling, but a practice, a way of seeing the world. 感恩节的餐桌上摆满了食物，但让这一天特别的不是火鸡或派，而是每个人围坐在桌旁说出他们最感激的事情的那一刻——一位母亲感激孩子们的健康，一位父亲感激妻子的支持，一个青少年感激朋友们的忠诚，一位祖母感激她被给予的每一天——在那个简单的仪式中，他们被提醒感恩不仅仅是一种感觉，而是一种实践，一种看待世界的方式。 6. When the floodwaters went down and the family returned to their destroyed home, they found that neighbors they barely knew had already begun clearing the mud, that strangers had brought food and clothes, that the community had gathered around them without being asked, and as the father looked around at all the people helping his family, he felt a deep gratitude that brought him to his knees, and he promised himself that he would spend the rest of his life passing that kindness on. 当洪水退去，一家人回到被摧毁的家时，他们发现几乎不认识的邻居已经开始清理淤泥，陌生人带来了食物和衣服，社区在没有被要求的情况下就团结在他们周围，当父亲环顾所有帮助他家人的人时，他感到一种深深的感激，让他跪了下来，他向自己承诺，他将用余生来传递这份善意。 7. The teacher kept every card and drawing her students had given her over the years, stored in a box under her bed, and on the days when teaching felt impossible, when the students were restless and the paperwork endless and she wondered if she was making any difference at all, she would open that box and read the notes — You are the best teacher ever, You believed in me when no one else did, I want to be like you when I grow up — and she would remember why she had become a teacher in the first place. 老师保存着学生们多年来送给她的每一张卡片和画，放在床下的一个盒子里，在教学感觉不可能的日子里，当学生们坐立不安，文书工作无穷无尽，她怀疑自己是否有任何影响时，她会打开那个盒子读那些纸条——你是有史以来最好的老师，在别人都不相信我时你相信了我，我长大后想成为你这样的人——她会想起自己当初为什么成为一名教师。 8. At the funeral, the son stood before the mourners and spoke not of his father's achievements or his possessions, but of the small things — the way his father had taught him to ride a bike, the way he had worked two jobs to send him to college, the way he had always said I am proud of you no matter what, and as he spoke, he realized that the greatest gift his father had ever given him was not money or opportunity, but love, and that the only way to repay that gift was to live a life worthy of it. 在葬礼上，儿子站在哀悼者面前，没有谈论父亲的成就或财产，而是谈论那些小事——父亲教他骑自行车的方式，他打两份工送他上大学的方式，无论如何他总是说我为你骄傲的方式，当他说话时，他意识到父亲给他的最伟大的礼物不是金钱或机会，而是爱，回报这份礼物的唯一方式就是过一种配得上它的生活。 9. The scholarship winner stood on the stage, her hands trembling as she accepted the award, and in her acceptance speech, she did not talk about her grades or her achievements, but about the school doorkeeper who had noticed her studying in the hallway every morning and started leaving her a cup of hot tea, about the librarian who saved books for her, about the bus driver who waited for her when she was late, and she said, I stand here today because of the kindness of people whose names I may not even know, and I promise to spend my life being that kindness for someone else. 奖学金获得者站在舞台上，双手颤抖着接过奖项，在获奖感言中，她没有谈论她的成绩或成就，而是谈论高中的看门人，他注意到她每天早上在走廊学习，开始给她留一杯热茶，谈论图书管理员为她留书，谈论公交车司机在她迟到时等她，她说：我今天站在这里，是因为那些我可能连名字都不知道的人的善良，我承诺用我的一生成为别人的那份善良。 10. Every year on the anniversary of the accident that had taken his legs but spared his life, the man visited the hospital and sat with patients who had just received similar news, and he would tell them about the dark days after the accident, the anger and the despair, but also about the people who had carried him through — the doctors who never gave up, the family who never left, the strangers who sent cards and prayers, and he would say, I am here not because I am strong. I am here because people rebuilt me with love, and now it is my turn to be that love for you. 每年在那场夺去他双腿但保住他性命的事故周年纪念日，这个男人都会去医院，坐在刚刚收到类似消息的病人身边，他会告诉他们事故之后的黑暗日子，愤怒和绝望，但也会告诉他们那些带他度过难关的人——从不放弃的医生，从不离开的家人，寄来卡片和祈祷的陌生人——他会说：我在这里不是因为我坚强。我在这里是因为人们用爱让我重生，现在轮到我成为你们的那份爱了。 二、表达对感恩的看法 1. I firmly believe that gratitude is not just a polite response to kindness, but a way of life, a way of seeing the world, and that people who practice gratitude regularly are not just happier, but healthier, tougher, more sympathetic, and more likely to spread kindness to others, creating a chain reaction that can change entire communities. 我坚信，感恩不仅仅是对善意的礼貌回应，而是一种生活方式，一种看待世界的方式，经常练习感恩的人不仅更快乐，而且更健康、更坚韧、更有同情心，更有可能向他人传播善意，创造可以改变整个社区的连锁反应。 2. In my opinion, the opposite of gratitude is not being ungrateful, but taking things for granted — the belief that we are owed something, that the world owes us success, happiness, comfort, and that when we operate from that position, we can never truly be happy, for there will always be more to want, more to complain about, more that we feel we deserve but do not have, while gratitude allows us to find joy in what we already have. 在我看来，感恩的反面不是忘恩负义，而是理所当然——认为我们被亏欠了什么，世界欠我们成功、幸福、舒适，当我们从理所当然的立场出发时，我们永远无法真正快乐，因为总会有更多想要的，更多抱怨的，更多我们觉得应得但没有的，而感恩让我们在已经拥有的东西中找到快乐。 3. It is my belief that we cannot give what we do not have, and that people who do not feel grateful for what they have received will find it difficult to give generously to others, for gratitude is the soil in which generosity grows, the foundation on which all acts of giving and service are built, and a society that forgets how to be grateful will eventually forget how to give. 我深信，我们无法给予我们没有的东西，那些对所得到的不心存感激的人会发现很难慷慨地给予他人，因为感恩是慷慨生长的土壤，是所有给予和服务行为建立的基础，一个忘记如何感恩的社会最终会忘记如何给予。 4. I hold the view that gratitude is most powerful not when things are going well, but when things are going badly, for it is easy to be grateful when life is easy, when we have health, wealth, and happiness, but the true test of character is whether we can find something to be grateful for even in our darkest moments — a friend's phone call, a stranger's smile, a morning that we can see — and that is the gratitude that carries us through hard times. 我认为，感恩最有力量的时候不是事情顺利的时候，而是事情不顺利的时候，因为当生活轻松，当我们拥有健康、财富和幸福时，感恩很容易，但品格的真正考验是我们是否能在最黑暗的时刻找到值得感恩的事情——朋友的电话，陌生人的微笑，我们能看到的一个早晨——这种感恩才是带我们度过困难的东西。 5. From my perspective, one of the saddest things in the world is the way we take people for granted — our parents, our teachers, our friends, the people who show up for us day after day without asking for anything in return — and we often do not realize how much they mean to us until they are gone, and then it is too late to say thank you, too late to express our gratitude, too late to let them know how loved they were. 在我看来，世界上最悲伤的事情之一是我们把人视为理所当然——我们的父母、老师、朋友，那些日复一日为我们出现却不要求任何回报的人——我们往往直到他们离开才意识到他们对我们有多重要，那时说谢谢已经太晚了，表达感激已经太晚了，让他们知道自己有多被爱已经太晚了。 6. I am convinced that saying thank you is one of the simplest yet most powerful things a person can do, for it costs nothing, takes only a moment, yet can change someone's entire day, can make them feel seen and valued, can remind them that their efforts matter, and in a world that often feels cold and uncaring, a sincere thank you is a small act of warmth that can have a lasting effect. 我深信，说谢谢是一个人能做的最简单却最有力量的事情之一，因为它不花一分钱，只需要一瞬间，却能改变一个人的一整天，能让他们感到被看见和被重视，能提醒他们他们的努力很重要，在一个常常感到冷漠和无动于衷的世界里，真诚的谢谢是一个可以产生持久影响的温暖小举动。 7. It seems to me that the idea of paying it forward — repaying kindness not to the person who helped you, but to someone else who needs it — is one of the most beautiful ideas humanity has ever created, for it turns a single act of kindness into an endless chain, a chain that can cross cities, cross countries, cross generations, connecting strangers through the simple currency of kindness. 在我看来，传递善意的概念——不是回报帮助你的人，而是回报其他需要帮助的人——是人类创造过的最美丽的想法之一，因为它将单一的善举变成一条无尽的链条，一条可以跨越城市、跨越国家、跨越世代的链条，通过简单的善良货币将陌生人联系起来。 8. I strongly believe that gratitude should not be saved for special occasions or grand gestures, but should be practiced daily, in small ways — a word of thanks to the bus driver, a note of appreciation to a colleague, a moment of reflection before a meal, a hug for the people we love — and these small daily acts of gratitude add up, like drops of water filling a bucket, until they change not just our outlook, but our entire lives. 我坚信，感恩不应该只留到特殊场合或盛大举动，而应该每天以小方式练习——对公交车司机说一句感谢，给同事写一张感谢便条，饭前反思片刻，给我们爱的人一个拥抱——这些小的日常感恩行为积累起来，就像水滴填满水桶，直到它们不仅改变我们的看法，还改变我们的整个生活。 9. As far as I am concerned, there is no conflict between being grateful for what we have and striving for something better, for gratitude is not about being satisfied with the way things are, not about giving up on dreams, but about recognizing the good that already exists in our lives while working to create more good, and the most successful and satisfied people are those who can do both at the same time. 就我而言，对所拥有的心存感激和追求更好的东西之间没有矛盾，因为感恩不是满足于现状，不是放弃梦想，而是在努力创造更多美好的同时，认识到生活中已经存在的美好，最成功和最满足的人是那些能同时做到这两点的人。 10. I take the view that we are all standing on the shoulders of people who came before us — our parents and grandparents who sacrificed for us, the teachers who educated us, the strangers who built the roads we walk on and the hospitals we depend on, the generations who fought for the rights and freedoms we enjoy — and to forget this is to be proud, to remember it is to be grateful, and to put gratitude into action is to honor their sacrifice by making the world a better place for those who come after us. 我认为，我们都站在前辈的肩膀上——为我们牺牲的父母和祖父母，教育我们的老师，修建我们行走的道路和我们依赖的医院的陌生人，为我们享有的权利和自由而战的几代人——忘记这一点就是傲慢，记住这一点就是感恩，将感恩付诸行动就是通过为后来者让世界变得更好来纪念他们的牺牲。 三、感恩与回报的行动与呼吁 1. In conclusion, gratitude is the memory of the heart, and giving back is the language of that memory made visible, for when we are grateful, we do not merely feel thankful — we act, we give, we serve, we try to make the world a little better because someone once made our world a little better, and in this cycle of receiving and giving, we find meaning, purpose, and the deepest kind of happiness. 总之，感恩是心灵的记忆，回报是那种记忆可见的语言，因为当我们感恩时，我们不仅仅是感到感谢——我们行动，我们给予，我们服务，我们努力让世界变得更好一点，因为有人曾经让我们的世界变得更好一点，在这个接受和给予的循环中，我们找到意义、目标和最深层次的幸福。 2. Let us remember that no one achieves anything alone, that every success we enjoy is built on the support, encouragement, and sacrifice of countless people — known and unknown, living and dead — and that the proper response to this fact is not pride, but humility, not self-congratulation, but gratitude, not keeping what we have gained, but sharing it with others. 让我们记住，没有人能独自取得任何成就，我们享有的每一次成功都建立在无数人的支持、鼓励和牺牲之上——已知的和未知的，活着的和死去的——对这一事实的恰当回应不是骄傲，而是谦卑，不是自我祝贺，而是感恩，不是囤积我们获得的东西，而是与他人分享。 3. I call upon everyone, regardless of age, wealth, or position, to make gratitude a daily practice — to say thank you more often, to write notes of appreciation, to call the people who have helped us and tell them what they mean to us, to never let an act of kindness go unrecognized, to look for opportunities to give back, to pass kindness on, to be the kindness that someone else is waiting for. 我呼吁每个人，无论年龄、财富或地位，都把感恩作为日常实践——更经常地说谢谢，写感谢便条，打电话给帮助过我们的人，告诉他们他们对我们意味着什么，永远不要让善举不被承认，寻找回报的机会，传递善意，成为别人正在等待的那份善良。 4. It is my sincere hope that schools will teach gratitude not as a vague moral lesson, but as a concrete practice — through reflection exercises, through community service, through writing thank-you letters, through creating a culture where appreciation is expressed openly and regularly — for a generation that grows up knowing how to be grateful will be a generation that knows how to give, how to serve, how to build a better world. 我真诚地希望学校将感恩作为具体实践来教授，而不是作为模糊的道德课——通过反思练习，通过社区服务，通过写感谢信，通过创造一种公开和定期表达欣赏的文化——因为一代在知道如何感恩中成长的人将是一代知道如何给予、如何服务、如何建设更美好世界的人。 5. The benefits of gratitude and giving back extend to every area of life — studies show that grateful people are happier, healthier, less stressed, and more satisfied with their relationships, that volunteer work reduces depression and lengthens life, that helping others activates the same pleasure centers in the brain as receiving help, and that in giving, we receive more than we could ever give. 感恩和回报的好处延伸到生活的每个领域——研究表明，感恩的人更快乐、更健康、压力更小、对人际关系更满意，志愿服务减少抑郁并延长寿命，帮助他人激活大脑中与接受帮助相同的愉悦中心，在给予中，我们得到的比我们能给予的更多。 6. Let us be grateful for the ordinary things that we so often overlook — the roof over our heads, the food on our tables, the health of our bodies, the love of our families, the freedom to speak our minds, the opportunity to learn and grow — for these are not ordinary at all, but extraordinary gifts that billions of people throughout history would have given everything to have. 让我们对我们经常忽视的普通事物心存感激——头顶的屋顶，桌上的食物，身体的健康，家人的爱，表达思想的自由，学习和成长的机会——因为这些根本不是普通的，而是数十亿历史上的人会付出一切来拥有的非凡礼物。 7. As we move through a world that often encourages us to want more, to compare ourselves to others, to focus on what we lack rather than what we have, let us make the choice to be grateful, to count our blessings, to find joy in simple things, to use what we have been given to lift up those who have less, for in doing so, we not only become richer, but better human beings. 当我们在一个经常鼓励我们想要更多、与他人比较、关注我们缺乏什么而不是拥有什么的世界中前行时，让我们做出选择——感恩，细数我们的幸事，在简单的事物中找到快乐，用我们被给予的东西来提升那些拥有更少的人，因为这样做，我们不仅变得更富有，而且成为更好的人。 8. I urge everyone to find at least one person this week to thank sincerely, to look them in the eye and tell them specifically what they did and how it changed your life, and then to find at least one person to help, to give your time, your money, your skills, or simply your attention, for gratitude without action is merely a feeling, but gratitude expressed through giving is a power that can change the world. 我敦促每个人本周至少找到一个人真诚地感谢，看着他们的眼睛，具体告诉他们他们做了什么以及它如何改变了你的生活，然后找到至少一个人来帮助，给予你的时间、金钱、技能，或者仅仅是你的注意力，因为没有行动的感恩仅仅是一种感觉，但通过给予表达的感恩是一种可以改变世界的力量。 9. The time has come for us to recognize that the greatest measure of a life is not what we accumulate, but what we give away, not what we achieve for ourselves, but what we do for others, not how many people serve us, but how many people we serve, and a life lived in gratitude and service is a life well lived, a life that matters, a life that leaves the world better than it found it. 现在是我们认识到这一点的时候了：衡量生命的最伟大标准不是我们积累了什么，而是我们给予了什么，不是我们为自己取得了什么，而是我们为他人做了什么，不是有多少人为我们服务，而是我们为多少人服务，一个在感恩和服务中度过的生命是一个过得好的生命，一个重要的生命，一个让世界比它发现时更好的生命。 10. In closing, I would like to leave you with this thought: we are all receivers of more kindness than we deserve, more kindness than we can repay, more love than we can ever fully acknowledge, and the only proper response to this overwhelming generosity is not to try to pay it back — for that is impossible — but to pass it on, to multiply it, to be to others what others have been to us. Be grateful. Give generously. Love deeply. The world is waiting for you to put your gratitude into action. 最后，我想留给你们这样一个想法：我们都是比我们应得的更多善意、比我们能回报的更多善意、比我们能完全承认的更多爱的接受者，对这种压倒性慷慨的唯一恰当回应不是试图回报——因为那是不可能的——而是传递它，倍增它，成为别人对我们那样的人。心存感激。慷慨给予。深爱。世界正等待你将感恩付诸行动。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
