<p class="ql-block">After reading <i>A Psalm of Life</i>, I have come to believe that one should love one’s own life. But how does one love life? </p><p class="ql-block">品读《生命的礼赞》之后，我深知人应当热爱自己的生命。然而，要如何去热爱生命呢？</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Life is the purest gift bestowed by nature, ordinary yet great, simple yet resilient. New shoots breaking through soil in spring, plants braving snow in cold winters, birds fluttering their wings against storms — all living things strive to grow toward the sun. Plants take root and grow quietly, paying no heed to time; creatures brave wind and rain to chase vitality. Every scene in nature tells us: the true meaning of life lies never in ease and smoothness, but in persistent perseverance that never yields. </p><p class="ql-block">生命，是大自然赠予我们最纯粹的馈赠，平凡却伟大，朴素而坚韧。春日破土而出的新芽，寒冬傲雪挺立的草木，风雨之中振翅翱翔的飞鸟——世间万物，皆奋力向着阳光生长。草木不问时序，默默扎根生长；生灵不畏风雨，追寻生命活力。大自然的一景一物都在向我们昭示：生命的真谛从不在于一路安逸顺遂，而在于永不屈服、坚守到底。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">To love life is not about magnificent feats. It hides in the gentle trivialities of daily life. To live well, to grow steadily, to relish every meal earnestly and cherish each present day, to embrace hardships in life and value time at hand — this is the most plain reverence for life. Life’s journey is never plain sailing. We will inevitably encounter setbacks, confusion and distress. Yet suffering is no chain binding life, but a medal for growth. Tempered by storms, life becomes richer, weightier and more vivid. </p><p class="ql-block">热爱生命，并非要做出惊天动地的壮举。这份热爱，藏在日常温柔的细碎光景里。好好生活，稳步成长，认真享用每一餐，珍惜当下的每一天，坦然接纳生活的磨难，珍视眼前的时光——这便是对生命最质朴的敬畏。人生旅途从不会一帆风顺，我们难免遭遇挫折、迷茫与困顿。可苦难并非束缚生命的枷锁，而是成长的勋章。历经风雨淬炼，生命才愈加丰盈厚重，鲜活热烈。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">To love life is also to accept our imperfect selves. Every life has its ups and downs. Do not dwell on past regrets, nor worry about the road ahead. Allow yourself to feel down, accept your ordinariness, gather strength in stillness and grow step by step. Keep your heart bright and gentle, hold hope and walk toward the sun. This is the finest interpretation of life. 热爱生命，同样意味着接纳并不完美的自己。每个人的生命都有起起伏伏。不必沉湎过往的遗憾，也不必忧心前路未知。允许自己失意低落，接纳自身的平凡，于沉静之中积蓄力量，一步一步慢慢成长。守住内心的明朗与温柔，心怀希望，向阳前行。这便是对生命最好的诠释。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">Life is brief and time precious. On the long journey of life, we need not seek grandeur, only to stay true to our hearts. Be kind, keep light in your eyes, keep your feet on the ground, move forward step by step, treat time well and cherish the rest of your days. </p><p class="ql-block">生命短暂，时光可贵。漫漫人生路，不必追求轰轰烈烈，只求坚守本心。心怀善意，眼底存光，脚踏实地，稳步向前，善待光阴，珍惜余下岁月。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">May we all grasp the meaning of life. Accept life with tenderness, journey toward mountains and seas with passion, live up to time and our very being, and lead a free, warm and shining life amid ordinary years. </p><p class="ql-block">愿我们都能读懂生命的深意。以温柔接纳生活，怀着热忱奔赴山海，不负光阴，不负自身，于平凡流年里，活出自在热烈、闪闪发光的人生。</p><p class="ql-block"> </p> <p class="ql-block">作者简介</p><p class="ql-block">谢诗琳，原南昌大学人民武装学院外语系副教授，美颜翻译理论创立者。深耕英语文学教学与英汉诗歌翻译三十余年，师承庄绎传翻译思想，立足传统“信达雅”提出以“信、达、美”为标准、“适度美颜”为原则的本土翻译理论。著有《莎士比亚十四行诗翻译与欣赏》，译有《莎士比亚十四行诗全集》《培根随笔全集》。长期从事英诗汉译实践，致力于古典与现代英语诗歌的译介研究，多篇译诗与翻译论文见于各类学术平台。</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p>
