Love your life 热爱生活
However mean your life is, meet it and live it;
不论你的生活有多么不堪，请好好地面对它Do not shun it and call it hard names.
不要躲避它，也不要对它恶语相向It is not as bad as you suppose.
它没有你想的那么糟糕It looks poorest when you are richest.
有时最富有的时候，生活往往最贫瘠The faultfinder will find faults in paradise.
要知道，眼里尽是缺点的人，即使在天堂也会挑三拣四 Love your life, poor as it is.
热爱你的生活吧，自得其乐地去享受它You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse.
你可以有一段愉悦的高兴的美好时光，即使是在救济院里The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-houses brightly as from the rich man's abode;
你可以看到反射在窗上的温暖阳光，和富人家的阳光一样耀眼The snow melts before its door as early in the spring.
春天来了，门前的积雪一点点地融化
I do not see how a quiet mind may,live so contentedly there,
一个拥有从容灵魂的人，到哪里都会精神富足And have as cheerful thoughts,as if they live in a palace.
如同在皇宫中生活般愉悦畅快The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.
那些小镇中的穷人，往往过着最独立不羁的生活
Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.
也许是因为他们对生活要求简单，不需要患得患失Most think that they are above being supported by the town;
大多数人认为他们对城市的救济嗤之以鼻But it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.
事实是他们不愿接受这种通过欺骗的手段，而得来的救助Which would be more disreputable.
这在他们看来，是更不体面的，会令他们羞愧的
Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage.
像智者一样，将贫穷视作花园里的花一样去细心栽培它吧Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,
不要折腾自己总是寻找新的花样Whether clothes or friends, turn to the old,return to the old.
去找你的老朋友和旧衣服吧，回归本来的生活。Things do not change, we change.
万物不变，是我们在变Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
