引言

2023年被某宝算法推荐而购买的一本书,这本书采用了一种新颖而引人入胜的方式来传达智慧——通过漫画。

下面为个人根据原书内容配合工具做的翻译,当然漫画中的部分英文有点”抽象“没法理解实际单词,如果存在错误欢迎在评论区指出。

Introduction: Why Be Interesting(导言: 为什么要有趣)

To limit your regrets. So you can respect yourself. In order to banish boredom. So that you can leave a mark, not a blemish. And most of all, because you can.

为了限制你的遗憾。这样你就能尊重自己。为了消除无聊。这样你就能留下印记,而不是污点。最重要的是,因为你能够做到。

个人评价

个人定位是轻松愉快的英文学习书,可以当做地铁读物。

实体书的质感十分不错,当然代价是全彩外文原版书籍非常贵,实体书也极力不推荐读者购买。

即使很多单词看不太懂,通过图画的形式也能理解大概,这样的英语学习方式挺不错的。

关于本书特点,大概是有些道理比较独特,让人眼前一亮。

Step 3 Do Something anything(做任何事情)

Dance. Talk. Build. Network. Play. Help. Create. It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you’re doing it. Sitting around and complaining is not an acceptable form of “something,” in case you were wondering.

跳舞。交谈。建设。联网。玩耍。帮助。创造。重要的是你在做什么,而不是你在做什么。

坐在那里抱怨并不是一种可接受的“做点什么”的方式,如果你在疑惑的话。

Eat:吃饭
Watch TV:看电视
Sleep:睡觉
Why you are sad:为什么你伤心

Go outside:到户外去

Real life is always in 3-D. It’s always in high-definition. Outside is where the fascinating people and happenings are. It’s where you’ll find whatever it is you’re looking for.

现实生活总是以三维形式存在,总是高清晰度的。

外面才是那些迷人的人和事所在的地方。那里是你会找到你所寻找的一切的地方。

Production costs:生产成本
Sense of Awe:敬畏之情
Blockbuster:轰动一时的事物
Sunset:日落
Skyline:天际线

Do what you want:做你想做的事情

If it is unappetizing: Do not eat, date, or sign up for it. If the mere thought of it is depressing: Do not major in it, sit through it, or devote your life to it. If it is not important to you: Do not do it only because it is important to someone else. You will thank yourself.

如果它让你没胃口:不要吃、不要约会、也不要报名参加。

如果仅是想到它就让你沮丧:不要以此为专业、不要忍受它、也不要把一生奉献给它。

如果对你不重要:不要只因为对别人重要而去做。你会感谢自己的。

Regreat:后悔

Being someone other than yourself:成为别人而不是自己

Misery:痛苦

How you spend your day:您如何度过一天

personal:个人

political:政治

economic:经济

Pick:选择

Something:东西

Not sure what to do with your day? Your life? Your career? Frankly, it doesn’t matter. Even the most intricately organized plans can crumble. And oscillating between options is a great way to procrastinate your life away. Flip a coin. Spin a bottle. Trust your gut. And off you go.

不知道该如何度过一天?你的生活?你的事业?坦率地说,这并不重要。

即使是最复杂的计划也会崩溃。

而在各种选择之间摇摆不定,则是让你的生活一拖再拖的好办法。掷硬币。转瓶子。

相信你的直觉。然后出发。

评价:过多的思考不如立即行动来的踏实。

You’ll need help. You’ll need advice. You’ll need allies. So you have to tell someone how you feel and what you’re up to. Let people in on what you’re doing.

你会需要帮助。你会需要建议。

你会需要盟友。

所以,你必须告诉某人你的感受和你正在做的事情。让人了解你在做什么。

They will champion and support you more than you ever imagined, and mock you less than you fear.

他们会比你想象的更加支持和拥护你,嘲笑你的可能性则比你担心的要少。

SIGN UP:注册

Join a club. Take a class. Volunteer. Have a party. Take a meeting. What we do shapes who we are. Be someone who’s been there, done that, and wants to do new things tomorrow.

加入一个俱乐部。上课。做志愿者。举办派对。参加会议。

我们的所作所为塑造了我们的人生。

成为一个经历过各种事情、愿意尝试新事物的人。

Luck, Skill & Daddy's Money:幸运、技巧与父亲的钱

Showing up:出现

Success:成功

Earnestly enjoy yourself:认真地享受自己

Irony gets in the way of experience. Drop the pretense, and you’ll have room to carry the day. Sing along to cheesy pop music. Enjoy things that are out of style. Make silly faces. Stop stifling your giggles. Give yourself permission to enjoy yourself.

讽刺妨碍了经历。

放下伪装,你就会有空间来度过美好时光。

跟着俗气的流行音乐唱歌。享受过时的事物。做出滑稽的表情。

不要抑制住你的咯咯笑声。给自己许可,好好享受。

Not only is there from for you, there's a need for you:这里不仅有你的位置,还需要你。

Really:真的。

people who do great things:做伟大事业的人

people who try:努力奋斗的人

people who are never invited to parties.

从不被邀请参加派对的人。

Ditch the junk:抛弃垃圾

Not every activity is worthwhile. Not every dreadful task is mandatory. Avoid the things that drag you down and make you weary. And if you must do them (laundry, taxes), then do them with gusto and put them out of your mind. You’ll have more room for what matters. More room for what’s interesting.

并非每一项活动都是值得的。并非每一项可怕的任务都是必须的。

避免那些拖累你、让你感到疲倦的事情。如果你必须去做(比如洗衣服、交税),那就全力以赴地去做,然后将其抛诸脑后。

这样你就会有更多的空间去做重要的事情。有更多的空间去做有趣的事情。

Whine:哀叫
Work:工作
Whimper:呜咽
Wet Blanket:扫兴者

TINKER

Start with a wonder. How does this work? What makes that happen? Then poke. Take things apart and put them back together. Push buttons. Change settings. See how the pieces fit. See what powers the engine. See how interesting it all is.

从一个惊奇开始。这是如何运作的?是什么让那件事发生?然后探究。

拆开东西再重新组装起来。按按钮。改变设置。看看各部件如何连接。

看看是什么驱动了引擎。看看这一切是多么有趣。

Find yourself a hero:找到自己的英雄

Seek someone who makes you smile. Someone who lives the way you want to. Someone you admire. Someone real and imperfect. Learn from them two things:

寻找一个让你微笑的人。一个过着你想要的生活的人。

一个你钦佩的人。一个真实而不完美的人。向他们学习两件事情:

  1. What they do well
  2. What they do not do so well
  1. 他们做得好的事情
  2. 他们做得不太好的事情

Jovial
Generous
Santa or your favorite Aunt:

Defend what you love:捍卫你所热爱的

You have treasured people, places, and things. They are precious and powerful. Fight for them. Don’t just let them lounge in the back of your mind. A love ignored will wither and die.

你珍视着人、土地和事物。它们珍贵而强大。为它们而奋斗。不要让它们只是懒散地躺在你心灵的后面。被忽视的爱会枯萎而死

评价:爱情在于平淡时光日复一日的浇灌,让我想起《小王子》中的狐狸和小王子。

Things that can stand in your way:能够阻碍你前进的事物

Love = POWER:爱 = 力量

Own your territory:拥有你的领地

Whatever you’re doing, enjoy it. Embrace it. Master it as well as you can. Own it. This is how to combine a sense of freedom with a feeling of safety.

拥有它。这就是如何将自由感与安全感结合在一起。
