珍惜现在 别再错过
荷叶/译
一位著名音乐家约翰，带上他无价的古齐特琴，在拥挤的地铁里演奏。轻柔的音乐从那把齐特琴中流淌出来，飘荡在整个地铁。然而，在他一小时的演奏中，只有六七个人在真正欣赏这迷人的音乐。一个三岁孩子如此痴迷以至忘记了周围的一切。那天约翰这场演出只得到了五十二美元。
然而，正常时日，当约翰要举行音乐会时，每张票要卖到一百多美元，即使如此高价，买到一张票都极其困难。因此，后来，许多那天在地铁中路过的人都深深后悔，因为没能认出那位著名音乐家，从而错过了那样一场珍贵而便宜的音乐盛宴。
我有一个朋友平时很忙，当他得知妻子患上了一种急性病后，他完全变了。他亲手为家人做饭，每天都带妻子去散步。然而他的妻子还是没能战胜病魔，于三个月后去逝。此后，他经常痛悔，由于自己过去工作繁忙，错过了许多和妻子共度的美好时光。现在，弥补无时。
一位医生的儿子从十九楼跳了下来，死后发现了他留下的一封信，信中表达了他一个强烈的愿望，他想和父亲多一些时候在一起，想要和父亲一起去看一场电影，等等。直到儿子自杀后，医生才意识到最宝贵的东西不是事业的成功，而是亲密完整的家庭关系。
奶洒了，再哭也无益。我们一生中错过了许多珍贵的东西而不知珍惜。
事实上，我以前也错过许多宝贵的东西。错过的原因非常简单，我们以为明天还会拥有它们。
然而，实际上明天是靠不住的。一位有名的和尚说过，许多人一生中只做过两件事：等待和悔恨。结果总是失去了才知珍惜，为时已晚。我们总是声称当我们长大后，有钱后，或老了以后会做什么。
然而，当我们达到了预期条件时，却不再想去做了，因为那个愿望在那时就已经丢失了。

Cherish Now No Longer Missed
John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique zither and played it in the crowded subway station. The music emanating from the zither was delicately streaming throughout the whole station. However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music. A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around. John only got 52 U.S. dollar for his work that day.
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable
I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with acute illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is impossible to make up for it.
A doctor’s son jumped from the 19th floor of a building and left a posthumous letter which expressed his strong desire for staying more with his father, going to see a movie with his father, etc. Not until his son committed suicide had the doctor realized that the most precious thing is not career achievement, but the tight and intact family bonds.
It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.
Actually, I also missed something precious before. The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.
Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc.
However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer do realize our wish any more, because we have lost it by then.
