習(xí)慣成就生活:現(xiàn)在該養(yǎng)成的好習(xí)慣
Let go of comparison
不去攀比
It doesn’t matter if the person beside you in yoga class can contort their body in ways you can’t. If you stop comparing yourself to others, you’re more apt to be happy with who you are. Rather than compare your progress or success to those around you, seek to improve on your own accomplishments.
瑜伽班坐你旁邊的那個(gè)人可以伸展自如,而你卻做不到,這又怎樣呢?如果停止與他人攀比,你就能更愉悅地接納本真的自我。與其拿自己的進(jìn)步或成功跟周圍的人作比較,倒不如努力提高自己的成就呢。
Save some money, even if it’s just a little
哪怕很少,也要存點(diǎn)錢
Just five dollars a week will add up before you know it. Saving money constitutesdiscipline, which is necessary in all areas of life. Take out cash to spend for the week so you don’t have to touch your bank account. If you give yourself an‘a(chǎn)llowance,’you’ll become more responsible with your income.
一個(gè)星期存5塊錢也能在不知不覺(jué)間變多起來(lái)。省錢需要自律,而自律則是生活各方面都必需的品質(zhì)。把這個(gè)星期要用的錢取出來(lái),這樣你就不必再用銀行卡了。如果你試著給自己“零花錢”,或許就會(huì)變得不再隨便花錢了。
Strive to be on time
努力做到準(zhǔn)時(shí)
Arriving at your destination on time (or even better—early) shows that you care about other people’s time. This doesn’t just apply to work either. Show up on time for family events and outings with your friends.
準(zhǔn)時(shí)(或者最好提早)到達(dá)目的地可以顯示出你很尊重他人的時(shí)間。這不僅適用于職場(chǎng),也適用于家庭活動(dòng)以及和朋友的約會(huì)。
【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】
add up 加起來(lái); 總計(jì); 與應(yīng)有的數(shù)量相符; <口>合乎情理
例句:
Add up all the income you've received over the period in question.
把那個(gè)時(shí)期里你拿到的所有收入加在一起。
More than a quarter of seven year-olds cannot add up properly.
7歲的孩子中1/4以上都不會(huì)正確地做加法運(yùn)算。
For a hit show, profits can add up to millions of dollars.
一場(chǎng)熱門演出的利潤(rùn)可達(dá)數(shù)百萬(wàn)美元。
Show up 顯而易見(jiàn); 到場(chǎng); (使)看得見(jiàn); 羞辱
例句:
Scientists know that cancer may not show up for many years.
科學(xué)家們知道癌癥可能會(huì)潛伏多年。
We waited until five o'clock, but he did not show up.
我們一直等到了5點(diǎn),但是他始終沒(méi)有露面。
They rushed the burial through so no evidence would show up.
他們倉(cāng)促舉行了葬禮,掩蓋了所有證據(jù)。
