It is 12:05 in the morning as I write this. It’s my birthday today and I can’t believe I officially turn 38 today. I still act and feel like I’m 18! I can’t believe how time flies. It seems like yesterday when I turned 23 and came to Shanghai with 200 yuan on a cold and rainy night. I can’t believe I survived and thrived in this big and exciting city.
在我寫這篇博客的時候午夜剛過。今天是我的生日，真得不敢相信我已正式邁入38歲，雖然我仍感覺自己像18歲！很難相信時間過得如此快；23歲生日的一個寒冷雨夜我懷揣200元來到大上海，這一切就像發(fā)生在昨天。很難相信，自己竟然在這個大都市生存下來了，而且活得還不錯。
I have never had a birthday celebration and it didn’t matter to me at all. In my generation, it seemed that parents didn’t celebrate their children’s birthdays. When I grew up I always forgot and missed my birthday; after I got married, my wife is not good with remembering my birthday--she doesn’t feel guilty, because she knows clearly that birthday celebrations are not my cup of tea.
我從來沒過過生日，也一點不在乎是否過生日。像我這代人父母好像不給自己的孩子過生日。等我長大了，我又總是忘掉或錯過生日；等我結(jié)婚了，老婆也總是記不住我的生日。她也不內(nèi)疚，因為她知道我不喜歡過生日。
I just don’t see the point in celebrating birthdays--people complain about getting older and yet they celebrate them every year. It’s not the moment to celebrate, it’s the moment to look back and be thankful. I’m thankful that my parents are not that old and they are healthy; I’m thankful that I have a great career, financial security, big house and beautiful wife…
我不明白慶祝生日的意義何在---人們整天埋怨在變老，而每年卻還仍要為此慶祝。對我來說現(xiàn)在不是慶祝的時刻，而是回顧感恩的時刻。我感謝自己的父母還不算老，身體仍然健康；我感謝自己擁有不錯的事業(yè)，經(jīng)濟穩(wěn)定，有大房子住，還有一個漂亮的妻子……
I will not celebrate my Birthday today, but I have collected and translated some funny birthday quotes for you to learn good and plain English. Always remember: we learn best in moments of enjoyment.
我今天不慶祝生日，但我收集編譯了一些有關(guān)生日的搞笑語錄，供大家學習漂亮的平易英語之用。永遠記住：快樂學習，效果最好。
