The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
第二天早上，吃早飯的時候，他們決定談談彼此的缺點。
"I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
“我先開始吧。”妻子說。她拿出她的單子，上面列舉了很多條，事實上，足足寫滿了三頁。當她開始念的時候，她注意到丈夫眼里含著淚花。
"What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading your list."
“怎么啦?”她問。“沒什么，”丈夫答道，“繼續念吧。”
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.
妻子又接著念。整整三頁都念完之后她把單子整齊地放在桌上，兩手交叉放在上面。
"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists," she said happily.
“現在該你念了，然后我們談談所列舉的缺點。”她高興地說。
Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you."
丈夫平靜地說：“我什么也沒寫，我覺得像你這樣就很完美了，我不想讓你為我改變什么。你很可愛迷人，我不想讓你改變。”
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
妻子被丈夫的誠實和對她深深的愛和接納感動了，她轉過頭去哭起來。
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?
生命中我們有很多的失望、沮喪和煩惱，我們根本不需要尋找。我們美妙的世界充滿了美麗、光明、希望。但是，當我們放眼四周時，為什么浪費時間尋找不快、失望和煩惱，而看不到我們面前的美好事物呢？
