一空 

这是一位成功作家在61岁时对自己一生的回顾，幽默使人快乐、智慧使人升华。这些人生经验包括了生活的各个方面，有的逗人哈哈大笑，有的教人深思远虑。

1

The first and truest thing is that alltruth is a paradox.

第一个也是最真实的事情就是所有真相都是有对立面的。

2

Almost everything will work again if youunplug it for a few minutes, including you.

如果你把插头拔掉几分钟，几乎所有事情都能恢复运转，包括你。

3

There is almost nothing outside of you thatwill help in any kind of lasting way.

似乎不存在什么外在的力量可以长久地帮助你自己。

4

Everyone is screwed up, broken, clingy andscared, even the people who seem to have it most together. They are much morelike you than you would believe, so try not to compare your insides to otherpeople's outsides.

每个人都是糟糕的、破碎的、依赖的、胆小的，甚至有人同时拥有这些负面情绪。要相信他们其实和你差不多，所以不要拿自己的内在与别人的外在比较。

5

Chocolate with 75 percent cacao is notactually a food.

可可含量75%的巧克力不可以称作是食物。

6

Every writer you know writes reallyterrible first drafts, but they keep their butt in the chair. That's the secretof life. That's the secret of life. That's probably the main difference betweenyou and them. They just do it.

你认识的每一个作家，初稿写得都很糟糕，但是他们会坚持坐在椅子上写，这是生活的秘密。这也许就是你们之间的主要区别。他们想做就去做了。

7

Publication and temporary creativesuccesses are something you have to recover from. They kill as many people asnot.

你必须从出版发行和短暂创造出的成就中恢复过来。这些名利杀死了迷失其中的人。

8

Families are hard, hard, hard, no matterhow cherished and astonishing they may also be. Again, see number one.

无论家人有多么珍贵和精彩，家庭生活都是难难难。

9、Food 食物。

Try to do a little better. I thinkyou know what I mean.

试着做得更好一些。你们懂的。

10、Grace 恩泽。

Grace is spiritual WD-40, or waterwings.

恩泽是精神上的WD-40（金属制品的万能保养剂），或者是游泳圈。

11

God just means goodness.

上帝就是善良。

12、Death 死亡。

Wow and yikes. It's so hard to bearwhen the few people you cannot live without die. You'll never get over theselosses, and no matter what the culture says, you're not supposed to. WeChristians like to think of death as a major change of address, but in anycase, the person will live again fully in your heart if you don't seal it off.

有时候至亲的死亡真的难以承受，你永远无法从悲痛中平复，无论老话怎么说，你不该如此。基督徒喜欢将死亡想象成只是更换了住址，但无论如何，如果你不把心门封锁，这个人就还将活在你的心中。
