The Joy of Living--生活的乐趣
Joy in living comes from having fine emotions，trusting them，giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose，or put on from the outside a mask. People who have this joy don‘t need to talk about it，they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight into other lives as nature as a bird sings.
生活的乐趣来源于良好的情绪，信赖这些情绪，并任由它们如鸟儿高飞于天空般的自由自在。生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的，也无法用带上一张面具来伪装。拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴上，他们自然会焕发出欢乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中，也将这样的快乐自然而然的感染着他人，犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。
We can never get it from working for it directly. It comes，like happiness，to those who are aiming at something higher. It‘s a byproduct of great，simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into our living，not from what we seek to get from it.
直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们，它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人。生活过的高雅，简单就会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入，而非所求。

一封绝妙的情书
There once lived a lad who was deeply in love with a girl，but disliked by the girl‘s father，who didn’t want to see any further development of their love. The lad was eager to write to the girl，yet he was quite sure that the father would read it first. So he wrote such a letter to the girl：
My love for you I once expressed
no longer lasts，instead，my distaste for you
is growing with each passing day. Next time I see you，
I even won‘t like that look yours.
I‘ll do nothing but
look away from you. You can never expect I‘ll
marry you. The last chat we had
was so dull and dry that you shouldn‘t think it
made me eager to see you again.
If we get married，I firmly believe I‘ll
live a hard life，I can never
live happily with you，I‘ll devote myself
but not
to you. No one else is more
harsh and selfish and least
solicitous and considerate than you.
I sincerely want to let you know
what I said is true. Please do me a favor by
ending our relations and refrain from
writing me a reply. Your letter is always full of
things which displease me. You have no
sincere care for me. So long!Please believe
I don‘t love you any longer. Don’t think
I still have a love of you!
Having read the letter，the father felt relieved and gave it to his daughter with a light heart.
The girl also felt quite pleased after she read it carefully，her lad still had a deep love for her.
Do you know why?In fact，she felt very sad when she read the letter for the first time. But she read it for a few more times and，at last，she found the key– only every other line should be read，that is the first line，the third，the fifth…and so on to the end.
一个小伙子非常爱一位姑娘，但姑娘的父亲却不喜欢他，也不让他们的爱情发展下去。小伙子很想给姑娘写封情书，然而他知道姑娘的父亲会先看，于是他给姑娘写了这样一封信：
我对你表达过的爱已经消逝。我对你的厌恶与日俱增。当我看到你时我甚至不喜欢你的那副样子。
我想做的一件事就是把目光移往别处，我永远不会和你结婚。我们的最近一次谈话枯燥乏味，因此无法使我渴望再与你想见。
假如我们结婚，我深信我将生活得非常艰难，我也无法愉快地和你生活在一起，我要把我的心奉献出来，但决不是奉献给你。没有人能比你更苛求和自私，也没有人比你更关心我帮助我。
我真挚地要你明白，我讲的是真话，请你助我一臂之力结束我们之间的关系，别试图答复此信，你的信充满着使我兴趣索然的事情，怀有对我的真诚关心。再见，请相信我并不喜欢你，请你不要以为我仍然爱着你!
姑娘的父亲
