<p class="ql-block">我邀请了北京的一位老同学，与我共同完成了卓别林这首《当我真正开始爱自己》的中英文朗诵。我们分别身处北京与墨尔本，三十多年未曾谋面，这也是我们第一次通过网络合作完成的朗读作品。希望大家喜欢，也希望能借此与大家一同领悟诗中的智慧——学会真正地爱自己。</p><p class="ql-block">英文朗诵视频拍摄地点是墨尔本的二战纪念馆公园，这也为这首诗增添了更深层的意义。站在纪念碑前，缅怀那些在战争中逝去的生命，我们更能体会到和平的来之不易与生命的可贵。正如诗中所说：“当我真正开始爱自己，我才认识到，所有的痛苦和情感的折磨，都只是提醒我：活着，不要违背自己的本心。”</p><p class="ql-block">愿我们都能珍惜当下，忠于自我，活出真实而丰盈的生命。</p> <p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><b>🎙️中文朗读：Sandy Zhang/一名</b></p> <p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><b>当我真正开始爱自己</b></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;">作者：卓别林</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">当我真正开始爱自己，</p><p class="ql-block">我才认识到，所有的痛苦和情感的折磨，</p><p class="ql-block">都只是提醒我：活着，不要违背自己的本心。</p><p class="ql-block">今天我明白了，这叫做“真实”。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">当我真正开始爱自己，</p><p class="ql-block">我才懂得，把自己的愿望强加于人，</p><p class="ql-block">是多么的无礼，就算我知道，时机并不成熟，</p><p class="ql-block">那人也还没有做好准备，</p><p class="ql-block">就算那个人就是我自己。</p><p class="ql-block">今天我明白了，这叫做“尊重”。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">当我开始爱自己，</p><p class="ql-block">我不再渴求不同的人生，</p><p class="ql-block">我知道任何发生在我身边的事情，</p><p class="ql-block">都是对我成长的邀请。</p><p class="ql-block">如今，我称之为“成熟”。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">当我开始真正爱自己，</p><p class="ql-block">我才明白，我其实一直都在正确的时间，</p><p class="ql-block">正确的地方，发生的一切都恰如其分。</p><p class="ql-block">由此我得以平静。</p><p class="ql-block">今天我明白了，这叫做“自信”。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">当我真正开始爱自己，</p><p class="ql-block">我不再牺牲自己的自由时间，</p><p class="ql-block">不再去勾画什么宏伟的明天。</p><p class="ql-block">今天我只做有趣和快乐的事，</p><p class="ql-block">做自己热爱，让心欢喜的事，</p><p class="ql-block">用我的方式、我的韵律。</p><p class="ql-block">今天我明白了，这叫做“单纯”。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">当我开始真正爱自己，</p><p class="ql-block">我开始远离一切不健康的东西。</p><p class="ql-block">不论是饮食和人物，还是事情和环境，</p><p class="ql-block">我远离一切让我远离本真的东西。</p><p class="ql-block">从前我把这叫做“追求健康的自私自利”，</p><p class="ql-block">但今天我明白了，这是“自爱”。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">当我开始真正爱自己，</p><p class="ql-block">我不再总想着要永远正确，不犯错误。</p><p class="ql-block">我今天明白了，这叫做“谦逊”。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">当我开始真正爱自己，</p><p class="ql-block">我不再继续沉溺于过去，</p><p class="ql-block">也不再为明天而忧虑，</p><p class="ql-block">现在我只活在一切正在发生的当下，</p><p class="ql-block">今天，我活在此时此地，</p><p class="ql-block">如此日复一日。这就叫“完美”。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">当我开始真正爱自己，</p><p class="ql-block">我明白，我的思虑让我变得贫乏和病态，</p><p class="ql-block">但当我唤起了心灵的力量，</p><p class="ql-block">理智就变成了一个重要的伙伴，</p><p class="ql-block">这种组合我称之为，“心的智慧”。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">我们无须再害怕自己和他人的分歧，矛盾和问题，因为即使星星有时也会碰在一起，形成新的世界，</p><p class="ql-block">今天我明白，</p><p class="ql-block">这就是“生命”</p> <p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><br></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><b>🎙️英文朗读：一名/Sandy Zhang</b></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><i style="font-size:18px;">视频拍摄于墨尔本二战纪念馆公园</i></p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;"><i style="font-size:18px;">Shrine of Remembrance</i></p> <p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;">AS I BEGAN TO LOVE MYSELF</p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;">CHARLIE CHAPLIN </p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;">ON </p><p class="ql-block" style="text-align:center;">HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Today, I know, this is AUTHENTICITY.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody as I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Today I call it RESPECT.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Today I call it MATURITY.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment, so I could be calm.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Today I call it SELF-CONFIDENCE.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">As I began to love myself I quit steeling my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.

But As I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Today I call this connection WISDOM OF THE HEART.</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others.
