培养感激的态度Develop an Attitude of Gratitude

经典英语短文带翻译:To give you an example of selective listening, let me share with you a story I heard about a medical doctor who was invited as a guest speaker to address a group of alcoholics. He wanted to make a demonstration that would be powerful enough to make people realize that alcohol was injurious to their health.
给你举一个选择性聆听的例子,我们一同来分享一个曾经听说的关于一名医生的故事。他受邀为一帮酗酒者作演讲。他想要做一个足以让人了解酒精危害性的阐述。

He had two containers, one with pure distilled water and one with pure alcohol.  duanwenw.com He put an earthworm into the distilled water and it swam beautifully and came up to the top. He put another earthworm into the alcohol and it disintegrated in fornt of everyone's eyes. He wanted to prove that this was what alcohol did to the insides of our body. He asked the group what the moral of the story was and one person from behind said: If you drink alcohol you won't have worms in your stomach." Was that the message? Of course not, that was selective listening - we hear what we want to hear and not what is being said.
他拿出两个容器,一个装有纯净蒸馏水,另一个装有纯酒精。他在蒸馏水里放一条蚯蚓,蚯蚓欢快地游动,很快浮了上来。他在酒精里放入另一条蚯蚓,大家注意到蚯蚓很快被分解了。他想以此来证明酒精对人体内脏造成的损害。医生问酒鬼们这个示范有什么寓意。英语短文后面有一个人说道:如果你喝酒,胃里不会生虫子。是这样吗?当然不是,这就是选择性聆听的结果-我们听到的是我们所愿意接受的,而不是我们告知的东西。

When I say count your blessings, not your troubles, the message is not to become complacent. duanwenw.com If complacence were the message you got, I would be guilty of faulty communication, and you would be guilty of selective listening.
当我说,多想想你所得的幸福,而不是你的困难,这并不表示让你自满。如果你听出的是这个意思,那我将为自己失败的表达负责,而你则应该为自己有所选择的聆听负责。

Many of our blessings are hidden treasure - count your blessings and not your troubles.
很多幸福和成就都是掩盖的宝藏。多想想你的幸福和成就,而不是你的困难和失败。
