Keeping a diary—recording precious moments
寫日記--記錄珍貴的時刻
It has been a long time since I kept a diary,
自從我開始寫日記已經有很長時間了,
but I am then thinking more and more about the value of some kind of journal.
但我對于日記的價值思考的越來越多。
Although writing daily in a diary is tough, it's good a habit to have, especially when learning a language, or if you want to be some kind of writer.
雖然每天記日記很艱難,但這是很好的一種習慣,尤其是當學習一種語言,或者如果你想成為某種形式的作家。
Getting into the habit of writing a little bit everyday, is supposedly one of the important things a writer can do.
讓自己對于每天寫一點變得習慣,這被認為是身為一名作家可以做的最重要的事情。
Yesterday, I was thinking about great scenes of movies and I got to thinking about the great scenes of my own life,
昨天,我在考慮電影的偉大場面,而我開始思考我自己生命中的偉大場面,
scenes that I should remember, that I should write down somewhere.
我應該記住的那些片段,我應該寫下來。
As time goes by, I tend to forget those things.
隨著時間的流逝,我往往忘記那些東西。
As time goes by, the things tend to lose focus,
隨著時間的流逝,事情往往將會失去焦點,
they tend to become less sharp, they fade a little.
它們會變得不那么尖銳,甚至會有一點褪色。
So, I'm starting to write stuff down more and more.
所以,我開始寫的東西就越來越多。
It's amazing how many things wakes experience in a day or in a week.
很令人驚訝,這么多的事要在一天醒來后或者在一星期內經歷,
but if you don't take the time to write some of those things down, the days just blur.
但是如果你不花時間去記錄一些事物,日子就會一天天變得模糊起來。
It's hard to separate one day from another, time surely does fly by.
很難把一天從另外一天分開,時間肯定已經流逝。
Capturing the precious moments in a lives with words,
那就用話語捕捉生活中珍貴的時刻,
in little stories, seems necessary to make your own lives more colorful,
這些小故事似乎成了使自己的生活更加豐富多彩的必需品,
even when we feel a little blue.
