Learning to Laugh At Yourself
The ability to laugh at your own flaws,weaknesses and blunders has long been recognized as a sign of maturity. As Eleanor Roosevelt put it,"You don't grow up until you have your first good laugh at yourself."And yet this is one of the most difficult aspects of your sense of humor to develop. It's easy to see the humor in someone else's blunders or flaws, but it's another story when the same thing happens to us. That's why we've put off working on this part of your sense of humor until you've already established some good humor skills in areas that have nothing to do with laughing at yourself.
(很久以來(lái),嘲笑自己缺點(diǎn)、弱點(diǎn)和失誤的能力被認(rèn)為是成熟的標(biāo)志。正如伊琳娜*羅斯福所說(shuō):“當(dāng)你第一次痛快地嘲笑自己一番時(shí),你便長(zhǎng)大了?!比欢@是幽默感中最難培養(yǎng)的一點(diǎn)。笑看別人的失誤和缺點(diǎn)很容易,但當(dāng)自己有同樣的失誤和缺點(diǎn)時(shí),那就是另一回事兒了。這就是為何我們?cè)谡莆樟似渌哪记珊?,才著手培養(yǎng)自嘲的原因。)
Oscar Wilde once offered a valuable insight about the way we live our lives when he said that"Life is too important to be taken seriously." What do you think he meant by this? I don't think he meant you don't have to take your responsibilities,promises,work,etc. seriously. He didn't mean that it's OK to live life with no integrity. I think he meant that the quality of our life suffers when we approach everything in a serious manner. We lose the aliveness,joy and spontaneity we had when we were kids when we take everything so seriously--especially when we take ourselves so seriously.
(奧斯卡*王爾德對(duì)我們的生活方式曾有過(guò)很有價(jià)值的觀察,他說(shuō):“生活太重要了,我們不能太認(rèn)真。”你認(rèn)為他這樣說(shuō)意義何在?我想他并非說(shuō)你不必認(rèn)真承擔(dān)責(zé)任、工作和對(duì)待承諾等,也不是說(shuō)可以做不正直的人。我認(rèn)為他是指:當(dāng)我們嚴(yán)肅對(duì)待每件事時(shí),生活質(zhì)量就會(huì)受影響。當(dāng)我們一本正經(jīng)對(duì)待一切--尤其是對(duì)待自己時(shí),我們便喪失了孩提時(shí)所擁有的活潑、快樂(lè)和自然天性。)
I think the key here is to take your work and your responsibility seriously,but take yourself lightly in the proccess. When you take yourself seriously all the time,you will lose many benefits that a playful attitude and humor can offer.
(我想這里的關(guān)鍵是要認(rèn)真對(duì)待你的工作和責(zé)任,但在此過(guò)程中要輕松對(duì)待自己。當(dāng)你總跟自己太認(rèn)真時(shí),你會(huì)失去愉快態(tài)度和幽默帶給你的許多好處。)
