Living Apart Together (LAT) is a term for couples who, while committed to each other, decide to have separate homes rather than one shared residence.

    “分开同居”（Living Apart Together，英文缩写为LAT）指一对情侣保持固定的情感关系但却不住在一起。

    There are three approaches LAT couples can take, concerning decision to keep separate domestic residences. The majority are the "gladly apart", along with the "regretfully apart" (due to work commitments, family responsibilities, legal or residency requirements, or other reasons) and the "undecidedly apart" (committed but not especially moving towards cohabitation at the time).

    
    伴侣选择“分开同居”一般有以下三种情形：“乐意分开”、“无奈分开”（由于工作原因、家庭责任、法律或居住要求，以及其它原因）和“暂时分开”（有感情基础，但还没有朝同居那个方向考虑）。

    
    Those gladly apart couples claim that their motives include:

    自愿选择“分开同居”的伴侣们列出的原因有：

    LAT having "kept their relationship fresh".

    “分开同居”能够让他们的关系时刻保持新鲜感。

    
    Having both an intimate relationship and one's own space is a treat.

    既能保持一段亲密关系又能拥有自己的空间，这是一种享受。

   
    The anticipation of time together always being special.

    盼望相聚的日子总是很特别。

   
    Having bases in two cultures – for example both a busy city and a country village.

    能够在两种不同文化的氛围中生活——比如，一个是繁忙的都市，一个是静谧的乡村。

  
    Freedom to do things without consultation, and the freedom not to do things in one's own abode.

    在自己的地盘，想做什么或者不想做什么都由自己来决定。

    Independent finances and homes meaning that financial dispute and negotiation is not a source of friction in the couple's relationship.

    独立的经济和住所意味着在两人的关系中经济纠纷不会成为关系破裂的原因。

    Ability to focus on work or one's own activities without interruption at times when one wishes to work.

    在想要专心工作的时候能够集中注意力，不会有人打扰。

我朋友以前给我推荐过一个网站，在上面可以找到各个国家的语言伙伴，你注册之后可以看见他们的个人信息，包括所在城市、职业、年龄、兴趣爱好等等等等。你可以选择自己喜欢的朋友，与他们交流，提高语言能力。

http://friends.foreignercn.com/public/home.jhtml

我注册之后认识了许多说英语的朋友，从他们那儿我学到了很多地道的表达。受益匪浅。现在也把这个网站介绍给你们，希望能够对你们有帮助。

We have all launched ourselves on the road to happiness. We are obsessed with the pursuit of it, but all too often, we become discouraged. We struggle and bumble our way along, but somehow happiness continues to elude us.

Part of the problem is that the term, happiness, is kind of vague. We set off on our search for it before we know what it is or how to obtain it. Many of us have created a monster with our relentless pursuit of happiness. We’ve chosen this broad and mighty goal “HAPPINESS” and then we set about trying to achieve it by eliminating all of the negative aspects of our lives, identifying our one true passion, divining our life’s purpose and setting out to achieve our life’s dreams…all before lunch. Then we wonder why it isn’t working.

And yet, it is true that the pursuit of happiness is worth the effort. Research has shown that positive emotions have not just the benefit of momentary pleasure, but of long-term well-being also. Positive emotions bring us pleasure, counteract the damaging effects of negative emotions, build resilience and promote long-term physical and emotional health. (See my prior post on The Power of Positive Emotions) We don’t want to give up on happiness, but we do need to find an easier way.

As we all know, when we have a big goal, it helps to break it down into smaller pieces. If we think of happiness as an overarching emotional state that is created by the presence of other, positive emotions, the process of achieving happiness becomes less daunting.

Joy, contentedness, love, interest, and satisfaction are some of the positive emotions that lead us to feel happy. The more we experience these positive emotions, the happier we’ll be.

Easy so far, right? But how do we cultivate positive emotions? That’s easy too, if you’re willing to let it be.

When we engage in activities or spend time with people (or animals) that we like, we tend to feel positive emotions. You might experience joy when you tickle your baby and make him smile, or feel interest when you read the editorial section of the paper or feel content when you snuggle up with your husband to watch a movie. There are many things in our lives that generate positive emotions. Simply put, the more time you spend engaged in activities that induce positive emotion, the more positive emotion you will feel and the more likely you will be to achieve an overall sense of happiness.

To get you started I’ve included a very generic list of ideas for ways that you can invite more positive emotion into your life. You will, of course, put your own, personal spin on these and identify the specific people or activities that will bring about positive emotion in you. These are just ideas to get you started thinking:

Exercise.

Okay, no groaning now. Exercise, beyond making you more fit, also brings about the release of endorphins. This is a “feel good” chemical that is produced in your body. Now come on, who doesn’t want to feel good? You might like lifting weights or running or prefer to join a local basketball league. Any moderately strenuous physical activity counts.

Spend Time With Others.

Time spent with people (not just any people, but upbeat, positive people) can bring about feelings of joy, love, interest etc. Go out with your friends, visit with family, chat with the mailman. Don’t feel like talking? Just smile at people once in a while…when they smile back, which they will do most of the time, see if it doesn’t make you feel good.

Don’t forget your animal friends either. Playing with the dog, watching the birds or rabbits in the back yard or even chatting with your son’s pet hamster can make you feel more content or even make you laugh. (Yes, I do talk to my son’s hamster and my daughter’s as well…is that a problem?)

Quiet Your Mind.

Formal meditation, prayer or even just sitting with your eyes closed for a few minutes can bring about relaxation and a sense of inner peace.

Spend Time in Nature.

I’ve written ad nauseum about the benefits of time spent in nature over at BetweenUsGirls. Suffice it to say that nature, whether a hike in the woods or simply gazing at the river from your office window, can bring about relaxation, feelings of connectedness, and even spark creativity. While there is much research to prove that time in or near nature has a positive impact on mood, I am sure that you don’t need proof. It isn’t often that I run across a person who hasn’t experienced the soothing effects of nature for his- or herself.

Express Yourself.

Creative expression of any kind (art, crafts, cooking, decorating, writing) can bring along a great deal of positive emotion. Your work doesn’t have to be good…you just have to enjoy doing it.

Have Fun.

This might mean making more time for your hobbies, taking up a new hobby, spending more time with friends or quick-and-easy activities like seeing a movie, going to a concert or texting back and forth with someone who always makes you laugh. Anything that engages your interest or makes you laugh or smile.

Volunteer Work.

Quite often, doing things that help others, brings feelings of joy and accomplishment. Making someone else feel good often makes us feel just as good.

Now, there you go. Seven very good general ideas that can be made into a multitude of specific ones for generating positive emotion. I’m sure that now that you’re thinking, you’ll come up with some other original ideas. If you do, share them with us…please!

The older I get, the more that I realize that it really is the little things that make us happy. Becoming a happier person doesn’t have to be hard work. Remember, one step at a time. Have lunch with a friend, take a walk in the woods, play with the dog, see a funny movie. Every time you engage in an activity that peaks your interest, makes you smile or gets your endorphins flowing, it’s like money in the bank. A little laugh here, a loving hug there and before you know it you’ve become the happy person you’ve always wanted to be without hardly trying.

我们都在寻找幸福。我们沉迷于追逐幸福，但是有太多的时候我们会变得气馁。 我们独自努力摸索着，但是不知道怎么了幸福还是在躲避着我们。

这个问题的一部分在于“幸福” 这个词，某种程度上是不明确的。我们在知道幸福是什么和如何获得幸福以前就开始了我们对幸福的追寻。我们中的很多人把对幸福的追寻看作很大的麻烦。我们选择了这个广义的和很强大的目标“幸福”然后我们通过消除生活中否定的东西，找到真正的爱好，推测生活的目的和实现梦想等方式来达到幸福……全部都在午餐之前。然后我们开始疑惑为什么这没有用。

然而，对于幸福的追随是值得我们努力的。有研究显示积极的感情不仅仅给我们带来一瞬间的满足，还有长期的幸福。 积极的感情给我们快乐，抵消了消极情感的坏影响，建立愉快的心情和促进长期的身心健康。 (见我早期的帖子积极情感的力量) 我们并不放弃幸福，但是我们真的需要找一个更简单的方法。

就像我们都知道的那样，当我们有大的目标时，把它分成小块会比较有用。如果我们认为幸福是一种由他人的出现，积极的情感组成的总体的情感状态，达到幸福的过程会变得不那么让人望而生畏。

高兴，知足，爱情，兴趣和满意是积极情感中的几种他们会使我们感到快乐。我们越多的经历这些情感就越快乐。

到现在为止都很简单，对不对？但是我们该如何培养积极的情感呢？如果你想让它那样的话，也是很简单的。

当我们和自己喜欢的人（或动物）一起做某事或度过一段时间的时候，我们趋向于有积极的情感。你也许会在逗乐你的宝宝让他微笑的时候感到高兴，对报纸上的社论文章产生兴趣，或是在依偎在爱人身边观赏电影时感到无比的满足。在我们的生活中，有很多事物可以带来积极的情感。简单来说，在可能带来积极情绪的活动上投入越多的时间，我们就可以产生越多的积极的情绪，也就更有可能演绎出幸福的真谛。
为了使你启程，我列了一张非常详细的清单，包括了许多可以让你在生活中找到积极情绪的方法。当然，你可以在它们中间加入你自己的见解，或者与一些可以带给你积极情绪的人或是活动建立联系。这些都只是想法，不过是为了使你开始思考。

运动

好了，先不要抱怨。运动除了让你更加健康之外，还可以带来内啡肽的释放。这是一种在你身体里产生的、可以使你“感觉很不错”的化学物质。现在就运动吧，有谁会不想感觉良好呢？你可能会喜欢举重，或是长跑，或是更加偏爱参加篮球队。任何适度的体育活动都是有意义的。

与他人一起消磨时光

与他人一起消磨时光（不是任何人，而是那些积极乐观的人们。）可以带来愉悦、爱、兴趣等情感。与朋友一同出游；和家人一同旅行；与邮差先生闲聊……不喜欢谈话？只要时不时的对人们微笑就好了……当他们也向你微笑的时候——大多数时候他们都会这样做——看看这样是否可以使你感觉不错。
同时，不要忘记你的动物朋友。与小狗一同玩耍，在后院照料鸟儿或是小兔子，甚至与你儿子的宠物仓鼠交谈，这些都可以使你感到愈发的满足以至于笑出声来。（是的，我真的有同我儿子的仓鼠交谈，还有我女儿的……这有什么问题吗？）

冷静你的头脑

正式的默想，祈祷或者只是坐在那里闭目沉思几分钟都可以带来放松以及内心的平和。

身处自然

我曾经在 BetweenUsGirls上发表过一篇关于身处自然的益处的文案。进一步说，身处自然，无论是一次树林中的远足，还是简简单单的从你的办公室窗户里凝视一条河流，都可以带来轻送、满足的感觉，甚至可以激发创作的火花。有很多研究可以证明与自然共度的时光可以对人的情绪产生积极的作用，我可以肯定对于这一点你不需要更多的证据了。我很少遇见这样的人，自然的抚慰作用在他身上没有成效。

展现自我

任意一种创造性表达（艺术，手工艺，厨艺，装饰，写作）都可以带来许多积极的情绪。你的作品可能不一定是成功的……你只是喜欢创作他们。

过得快乐

这一条可能意味着你要投入更多的时间在你的爱好上，同时发现新的爱好，或是花费更多时间与你的朋友在一起，做一些“方便快捷”的活动。像是看一场电影，出席一场音乐会，与一个总是逗你发笑的人来回的发短信 。你可以做任何事，只要他们可以引发你的兴趣，或是能让你大笑或微笑。

志愿工作

经常性的做一些帮助他人的事，可以带来愉悦的感觉，并且从中获得社交的技艺。送人玫瑰，手有余香。

现在你都了解了，有七种很好的、很全面的见解可以作为寻找乐观情绪的准则。我敢说你现在一定在思考了，然后你会提出一些新颖的观点。如果你真的这样做了，与我们分享他们吧……拜托！

度过的岁月越多，我就越发的领略到，真的存在一些很微小的事物，可以使我们快乐。成为一个更加幸福的人并不是一项很繁重的工作。要记住，每次迈出一步就够了。与朋友共进午餐，在丛林间漫步，与小狗玩耍，看一场戏剧电影。每一次你从事一项活动（它或者可以激发你的兴趣使你微笑，或者可以是你的内啡肽运动），就像是把钱存进银行一样，你也可以存储乐观的情绪。像是一个小小的微笑，或是一个轻轻的拥抱。在你知道这一切之前，你总是想成为一个幸福的人，却又不喜欢努力尝试。但现在，你已经开始走在幸福的路上了。

二、请求许可与你相约 [请求许可]

1.正式的请求用：May I ..., please?语气十分委婉，意为“请问，我可以……吗？”。如：May I use your telephone, please?请问，我可以用一下你的电话吗？

2. 非正式的请求用：Could / Can I ..., please?意为“请问，我能……吗？”在这种句式中，用could比用can语气委婉，显得有礼貌，而用can则指家人、朋友等不拘礼节的较为随便的场合。如：Could I open the windows, please?请问，我能打开窗户吗？

[请求许可应答语]

* 同意请求的常用语：
1. Yes. / Sure. / Certainly.当然可以。
2. Of course, you may.当然可以
3. Yes, please.请吧。
4. Go ahead, please.请吧。
5. OK. / All right.好吧。
6. No problem.没问题。
7. Yes, you may (can).可以。* 不同意请求的常用语：
1. No, please don't.请不要。
2. I'm sorry you can't.对不起，你不可以。
3. Sorry, I'm afraid not.对不起，恐怕不行。
4. You'd better not ...你最好别……。
5. No, you mustn't.不可以。
6. No, you can't.不能。

[特别提示]

* 做某事可能引起对方不便或打扰别人时，常用：
Do you mind if I do...？意为“如果我做某事，你反对/介意吗？”如：Do you mind if I open the door.我打开门你介意吗？
对Do you mind if I do... ?进行应答时，如果表示“允许/不介意”，常说：No, I don't mind.我不介意/我允许。
Certainly not / Of course not.当然不介意。
No, go ahead.不介意，你干吧。
Not at all.一点也不介意。
* 如果表示“不允许/介意”时，常说：
I'm sorry you can't ....很抱歉，你不能……。
I'm afraid it's not allowed.恐怕这是不允许的。

具体的方法如下：

1、看电影学英语，但是要关掉字幕，同时尽量大声复述所有能够听懂的剧中对话

我得承认，对于一个英语听说能力不强的人，如果照做的话一开始的过程会非常的痛苦。很有可能的结果是一部电影下来什么也没有听明白。但是，请相信我，如果能够坚持这样做的话，那么在10部电影之后，就会听懂相当多的对白，并且能够复述听懂的对白中的一半。每一个人都有接受语言的本能，这个办法带有一点点强制性，但可以把我们的语言潜能发掘出来。

在一开始的时候，建议挑选一些曾经看过的影碟，这样会帮助你对英语原声的理解。另外，一定要保证每天，最多不超过两天就要看一盘碟片。另外，如果条件允许，那么最好自己在一个房间里面以避免干扰。

这个方法可以有效锻炼英语听说的基本功。

2、利用一切机会扩大自己的词汇量，但是先要扔掉4-6级考试标准词汇表

4-6级的词汇表对于扩大词汇量几乎没有价值，这个是我的个人之见。希望不要在这上面画太多的时间。如果看碟片的程度已经可以听懂一些对白的话，那么可以关注一下词汇，如果在一个段落中一个生词反复出现，那么可以打开英文字幕，然后查一下这个词的意思。花15s记住这个词，然后再看碟片，特别留意新词汇。这种方式，会让生词记忆的特别牢。对于感兴趣的咨讯，不妨多访问一些英文的站点。体育，娱乐，新闻，或者随便什么其他的，随意浏览即可。对于出现率高的生词，就查一下，然后记下来。

最后，要利用可能的机会记生词。注意广告、杂志、游戏和新闻中出现的每一个让自己感兴趣的词。比如，在乘地铁的时候，可以注意一下吴大维主持的Talk Da Talk短片，会有机会学到"Yellow cab"这样地道的表达。这是英语口语的内功，需要日积月累。

3、勇敢一点，不要怕和老外交流

今天在中国的老外已经非常的多了，我们的身边常常有机会合他们面对面。所有在中国的老外，都和我们一样。也希望多了解一些中国并希望学一些中文。很多时候阻碍我们去交流的其实是我们自己内心，害怕犯错误，害怕出洋相。不妨告诉各位我曾经出过多大的洋相：在两个瑞典女孩子询问我对瑞典人的看法的时候，我曾经让她们误认为我在嘲笑她们衣着滑稽-_-b；在我们第一位荷兰员工报道，需要填写一些表格的时候，我错误的翻译成需要他去修理一些桌子；我还曾经在一间酒吧里错误地进入了女厕所，退出来之后被一哥们儿怪笑着问我是不是走错了（后来我发现还有别人犯了同样的错误，那扇该死的门上根本没有任何标示，除非你进去，否则不会发现自己走错了）。

所以我想，各位大概不会犯更糟糕的错误了，既然如此，何不勇敢尝试呢。在和外国人的交流中才真正能够质的提高自己的英语口语能力。同时，和native speaker的对话中可以学到许许多多很地道的词汇，潜移默化中让我们的英语口语变得更地道。

4、坚持

我所提出的方法其实绝对不难，真正比较难以做到的是坚持。如果能够坚持下来六个月的话，我相信那个时候你的口语能力一定会令自己感到惊讶的。

在我自己的英语口语学习博客上，我以连载的方式在纪录我从我的荷兰朋友兼同事那儿学来的许多既地道又有趣的表达。在这里，大家可以看到一些对于日常表达有用的东西。

晋太原中，武陵人，捕鱼为业，缘溪行，忘路之远近。忽逢桃花林，夹岸数百步，中无杂树，芳草鲜美，落英缤纷，渔人甚异之；复前行，欲穷其林。林尽水源，便得一山，山有小口，仿佛若有光。 便舍船，从口入。

In the middle of Taiyuan,the Jin Dynasty there was a Wuling man, who caught fish for living. One day he went on by a boat, sailing along a stream for a long time and neglecting how much distance he had traveled. Suddenly, in front of his eyes a peach forest was extended hundreds of paces on both sides of the river and without any other trees scattered. In the forest, the fragrant grass was fresh and beautiful and a lot of fallen flowers were spread on the ground. The fishing man was very strange, and then he went on again, intending to make a thorough investigation of this forest. The forest was ended at the stream source. He caught sight of a mountain，which had a little entrance, seemed to have some light in it .And then, the fishing man left his boat and went into the entrance.

初极狭，才通人。复行数十步，豁然开朗。土地平旷，屋舍俨然。有良田、美池、桑竹之属，阡陌交通，鸡犬相闻。其中往来种作，男女衣著，悉如外人。黄发垂髫，并怡然自乐。见渔人，乃大惊，问所从来，具答之，便要还家，设酒杀鸡作食，村中闻有此人，咸来问讯。自云先世避秦时战乱，率妻子邑人，来此绝境，不复出焉；遂与外人间隔。问今是何世，乃不知有汉，无论魏、晋。此人一一为具言所闻，皆叹惋。余人各复延至其家，皆出酒食。停数日，辞去，此中人语云：“不足为 外人道也！

In the beginning the entrance was extremely narrow, just able to pass through a person, and continually walking tens of paces, suddenly became bright and open. The ground and soil behind the mountain was flat and vast, and the houses and sheds all set out in a neat order. In the place, having the fertile lands, clear pools, white mulberries and nice bamboo and so forth, and also having the crisscross footpaths between the fields, the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs were within hearing of each other. People planted with rice, cotton and vegetable and worked hard to and fro in the fields and their clothes were as same as the outsiders. The old men with their hair，which had been yellow transmitted from grey and children with hair's tufts in front of their head all looked very pleasant, contented and self-enjoyed. When in sight of the fishing man, they all got frightened and asked where he was come from. The fishing man replied to these questions according to the fact. And then the villagers invited him to home, butchering cock and heating up wine for him as food. Other people heard that there was an outside man in the village, they all came to visit and inquire him about the events happened outside. The village people told him, for avoiding the chaos caused by the war of the Qin Dynasty, their ancestors along with their families and county colleagues came to this sealed place, and did not go out again. Therefore the people in the village were separated from the external people up to now. Asking what the Dynasty was nowadays, since it is in the case of being not aware of the Han Dynasty, of course they also could not know the Dynasties such as Wei and Jin later. The fishing man told them what he had heard one by one. Hearing those, the villagers all sighed and felt pity very much. The others repeatedly invited him to their house and offered him with wine and other cooked food. After several days, when the fishing man took leave the village, the people in the village said to him: “There is no need to tell the situation here to the external people.''

既出，得其船，便扶向路，处处志之。及郡下，诣太守，说如此。太守即遣人随其往，寻向所志，遂迷，不复得路

Having gone out from the village, the fishing man got his boat. Along the incoming road, where he marked some symbols to every important location. Turning back into the Wuling County, he called on the prefecture chief and spoke out all that he saw and heard. The prefecture chief dispatched men going along with him to search the symbols which he had marked; unexpectedly they had lost the way and couldn't find the place that the fishing man found.

南阳刘子骥，高尚士也，闻之，欣然亲往，未果，寻病终。后遂无问津者。

Liu Ziji in Nanyang was a respectable scholar. Hearing this information, he went to search the end of peach forest with pleasure by himself, but no result was obtained. Before long，he died of illness. Later there was nobody to make inquire into this event.

Cui Shuliang is the founder of 51sleep.com, a major online advice solution for those yearning for a sound sleep. Formerly an IT technician, he found many of his peers suffering badly from poor sleep quality.

"Each morning, I would hear complaints about someone who kept waking up during the night, while someone else had to spend all night fighting for sleep. So I got the idea to set up a website to help those missing sleep. Then I found it was really a large group that is in need of professional sleep advice."

Pressed by busy city life, more and more urban residents in China are suffering from sleep problems ranging from insomnia to narcolepsy. Some people may be able to fall asleep, but spend the whole time in terror.

A survey conducted by the Chinese Sleep Research Society shows that more than 42% of the country's population is disturbed by sleep disorders, which can result in lowered awareness and less productive days. Severe insomnia can even lead to psychiatric problems.

Professor Zhang Xi, deputy director of the organization, says the focus for this year's World Sleep Day will be on scientific access to sleep.

"We stress a scientific management of sleep, which includes boosting public awareness about sleep hygiene, and helping professionals improve their knowledge and clinical experiences with diseases related to sleep problems."

Professor Zhang Xi explained that the causes of sleep disorders differ among cases, but more than 80% of his patients had trouble in sleeping due to tension.

"That's why we suggest practitioners give special attention to sleep problems, since there remains a hidden danger in the patient's physical and mental condition. On the other hand, people with sleep problems should learn how to ease their mind and relax their nerves. Staying mentally and physically healthy, plus having a healthy daily routine, is the best way to realize a sound sleep."

With the economic recession and employment tension, pressure may have an even firmer grip on the lives of many. Many are wishing that the World Day for Sleep can really give the sleep-deprived people a chance for a good rest.

　　The enquiry into the route of the new by-pass to the village was due to take place shortly, and I wanted to know what it was that motivated her. So it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods.

    很快就要进行对新小路的调查了，我想了解一下她反对的原因。于是我敲响了小屋的门，一位叫玛丽·史密斯的女士接待了我，然后她带我去树林中走走。

　　"I've always loved this place", she said, "it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. We all used it. They called it 'Lovers lane'. It's not much of a lane, and it doesn't go anywhere important, but that's why we all came here. To be away from people, to be by ourselves " she added.

　　“我一直深爱这个地方，”她说，“这里珍藏了我和其他许多人的回忆。我们都曾在这个地方呆过。人们称它为‘情人路’。它其实并不能算是什么路，也不通往什么重要的地方，但这正是我们来这里的原因。远离他人，只有我们自己。”她补充说道。

　　It was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard. Squirrels gazed from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to fear. I could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so I felt that she probably had something there but as I hold strong opinions about the needs of the community over-riding the opinions of private individuals, I said nothing. The village was quite a dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old woman's whims.

　　那天林间实在迷人，小鸟唱着歌，松鼠在树枝间张望，很自在地活动，显然这里人迹罕至，它们一点都不害怕。我能想象得出，在小路修好后，汽车通过这片宁静的树林将会是怎样的喧闹，因此我猜这对她来说可能意味着些什么。但我坚持认为社区的需要重于个人的意见，所以我没说什么。村里目前的交通，特别是对于老人和小孩来说，尤其危险，所以对我来说他们的安全比这个老年女士的怪念头更重要。

　　"Take this tree", she said pausing after a short while. "To you it is just that, a tree. Not unlike many others here". She gently touched the bark. "Look here, under this branch, what can you see?"

　　“拿这棵树来说吧，”她停了一会儿说，“对你来说它只是一棵普通的树，与这里其它的树没什么区别。”她轻轻地摸着这棵树的树皮说：“看这，在这个枝条下面，你看见了什么？”

　　"It looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife" I said after a cursory inspection.

　　“好像有人用小刀在这里刻过什么东西。”我略略看了一下后说。

　　"Yes, that's what it is!" she said softly. "There are letters and a lover's heart".

　　“是的，正是这样！”她轻轻地说，“是一些字母和一颗爱人的心。”

　　I looked again, this time more carefully. The heart was still there and there was a suggestion of an arrow through it. The letters on one side were indistinct, but on the other an 'R' was clearly visible with what looked like an 'I' after it. "Some budding romance?" I asked, "did you know who they were?"

　　我又看了一下，这回看得认真了一些。刻的那颗心还在那，此外还依稀可以看见有支箭穿心而过。心一边的字母已无法辨认了，但在另一边，字母“R”清晰可见，后面还有个像是“I”的字母。“初恋罗曼史？”我问道，“你知道他们是谁吗？”

　　"Oh yes, I knew them", said Mary Smith, "it says RH loves MS".

　　“唔，我知道。”玛丽·史密斯说，“写的是‘RH爱MS’。”

　　I realised that I could be getting out of my depth, and longed to be in my office, away from here and this old lady, snug, and with a mug of tea in my hand.

　　我意识到我可能涉入太深了，真希望自己身在办公室，远离这个地方和这个老年女士，手里还端着杯茶，舒舒服服地。

　　She went on …"He had a penknife with a spike for getting stones from a horse's hoof, and I helped him to carve my initials. We were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the army. I had guessed of course. It was the last evening we ever spent together，because he went away the next day, back to his Unit. "

　　她继续讲着……“他拿着一把袖珍折刀，折刀上嵌有长钉，那种长钉可以用来挖出夹在马蹄上的石块，我们一起刻了我名字的第一个字母。我们深深相爱，但他却要离开了，而且不知道他将在军队里干什么。当然我也曾猜想过。那是我们在一起的最后一个夜晚，因为他第二天就回部队去了。

　　Mary Smith was quiet for a while, then she sobbed. "His mother showed me the telegram. 'Sergeant R Holmes ….. Killed in action in the 9)invasion of France'".

　　玛丽·史密斯停了一会儿，接着抽泣起来。“他母亲给我看了那封电报。‘R·荷尔姆斯军士….在解放法国的战役中牺牲。’

　　"'I had hoped that you and Robin would one day get married" she said, "He was my only child, and I would have loved to be a Granny, they would have been such lovely babies'- she was like that! "

　　“我本来希望你和罗宾会结婚的。”她母亲说，“我只有他一个孩子，我本希望能做祖母，有非常可爱的小宝宝。”――她真是那么说的！

　　"Two years later she too was dead. 'Pneumonia, following a chill on the chest' was what the doctor said, but I think it was an old fashioned broken heart. A child would have helped both of us."

　　“两年后她也去世了。医生说是‘肺炎，胸部着凉造成的’，但我认为这是典型的伤心过度。如果有个孩子那我们俩就都不会这样了。”

　　There was a further pause. Mary Smith gently caressed the wounded tree, just as she would have caressed him. "And now they want to take our tree away from me." Another quiet sob, then she turned to me. "I was young and pretty then, I could have had anybody, I wasn't always the old woman you see here now. I had everything I wanted in life, a lovely man, health and a future to look forwards to".

　　玛丽·史密斯又停了会儿没说话。她轻柔地抚摸着那棵刻过的树，就像她曾经抚摸他一样。“现在他们想把我们的树夺走。”她又轻轻地抽噎了一下，然后她转过身来对着我。“当时我年轻漂亮，我爱嫁给谁都可以，我当时可不是现在这么老的。我拥有生命里所要的一切，一个值得爱的男人、健康的身体和充满梦想的未来。”

　　She paused again and looked around. The breeze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound. "There were others, of course, but not a patch on my Robin!" she said strongly. "And now I have nothing - except the memories this tree holds. If only I could get my hands on that awful man who writes in the paper about the value of the road they are going to build where we are standing now, I would tell him. Has he never loved, has he never lived, does he not know anything about memories? We were not the only ones, you know, I still meet some who came here as Robin and I did. Yes, I would tell him!"

　　她顿了顿，朝四周看了一眼。微风轻轻吹拂着树叶，发出叹息般的沙沙声。“当然，那时还有其他人，但他们连罗宾的一丝一毫都比不上！”她肯定地说。“现在我一无所有——只剩下残留在这棵树上的记忆。那个可恶的家伙竟建议把路修在我们所站的这个地方，我真希望掐死他，我会对他说：你从没爱过吗，你活过吗，你从不知道什么叫记忆吗？你知道，不仅仅是我们，现在我仍能看见些男男女女像当年的我和罗宾那样到这儿来。是的，我一定要对他说！”

　　I turned away, sick at heart.

　　我转过身去，心里感到很难过。

Bzzz! Wrong! Neener-neener-neener!

Play is important no matter what your age. Play is so important, in fact, that Dutch historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1945) once described it as the defining characteristic of our species. For Huizinga, humanity is notable not as Homo sapiens, “wise people”, but Homo ludens, “playful people”.

Play, What Is It Good For?!

Absolutely everything, as it turns out.

Of course play is good for our health. A lot of play involves exercise, which is a good thing in and of itself, but there’s more to it than that. Play relieves stress, easing relaxation. Play releases a whole range of feel-good chemicals in the brain, which not only make play fun but relieves tension across the whole of our bodies. Feeling pressure? Get up and dance!

Play’s good for our brains, too. Play lights up the entire right side of our brain like a barrel of Light Brites, creating a state of hyper-creativity that quite literally changes the way we see the world. In this mind-set, nothing is just what it seems – things take on new forms (is that an empty Red Bull can next to your trash can, or is it a marooned space capsule on the Lost Planet of Garbagania?), problems seem not just solvable but trivial (wrap a towel around your neck and fly over them!), and we feel empowered to take on the world. Dum dum DAAAAAHHHH!

Play unites our mind and bodies. In play, the gap between physical sensation and mental sensation is bridged – transforming random movements into acts of derring-do. See Charlie Brown raking leaves. Feel body hurtling through air. Sense whoosh of leaves scattering beneath your body. Hear old Chuck’s plaintive “good grief!” It just feels good. Leave your detachment at home (praise the Great Pumpkin it’s detachable!)

Play creates social bonds. There’s evidence that the earliest social bonds we make – those between our infant selves and our parents – are primarily playful ones. The newborn infant doesn’t encounter other people as people but just as extensions of self that are more-or-less reliable. As the infant develops a sense of its own identity and begins to recognize other people as beings with identities of their own, it begins to learn play and sociality at the same time. Enter mom or dad, leaning down and making googly-eyes at the smiling baby – bam! Sociality achieved.

That doesn’t go away as we get older – play is still a rock-solid foundation for social behavior. It’s why people who can’t stand each other can bond over a company softball game or round of pick-up mud football in the park. Tomorrow might be back to the same old everyday loathing, but for today… (And maybe tomorrow will be different, after all!)

Can You Come Out and Play?

When’s the last time you played? I mean, really played. Not just a half-hearted round of Minesweeper during a meeting, or a couple of Sudokus in a magazine at the dentist’s office.

When’s the last time you plopped yourself in front of a mirror, turned your eyelids inside out, stuck out your tongue, and made Chewbacca noises? The last time you grabbed your kid, threw her up in the air, and laughed with her in glee? (And hopefully you caught her on the way down!) Or chilled with family or friends over a board game? Or just went all wiggly all by your lonesome?

We get to feeling so darn serious, it’s hard to play, to let ourselves play. You know your life has gone down an evil, evil path (the Dark Side is strong, but… well, it’s Dark. Duh!) when playing makes you embarrassed. Even when you’re alone.

I’d suggest you fix that.

Fortunately, there’s an easy and proven effective remedy for play deprivation and seriousitis: go out and play! Come on, you know how! That’s right, shake your booty, do a gold miner dance, flail your arms around your head like a squid-person, tell your secretary you love her but you’re not a cannibal and interfaith relationships are so difficult – do something downright goofy. That’s an order, soldier!

And here’s the thing: spending some profoundly non-serious time with yourself or with others may well make you better at all that serious stuff that’s been sucking at your soul and preventing you from playing in the first place. You’ll feel better, be more relaxed, and enjoy more creativity – which unless you’re a drill sergeant in a Vietnam-era coming of age story, can’t help but make the rest of your life that much better.

See you out there!
