[资源] 【斑竹推荐】【有奖讨论】Paradox of Our Times

Happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away.
幸福像蝴蝶一样,出现了让我们高兴一会儿,但不久就飞走了。
生活在这个物质生活越来越丰富的地球,很奇怪竟然有越来越多的人不快乐。奇怪的事情还不止这一件,下面的文章总结了一些,但也只是这个光怪陆离的世界的沧海一粟而已。
Q: 请翻译一下这句话,谢谢!
We have learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years.
再来一句:
We spend too recklessly , laugh too little, drive too fast ,get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.

Paradox of Our Times
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees , but less common senses ; more knowledge, but less judgment; more expert , but more problem; more medicine, but less wellness.
We spend too recklessly , laugh too little, drive too fast ,get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions , but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and lie too often. We have learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years.
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We have conquered outer space, but not inner space. We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less.
We have learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication. We are long on quantity, but short on quality.
There are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships. More leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition; two incomes, but more divorce; fancier houses but broken homes.
This is a strange and confusing age. There are so many paradoxes in our time that we hardly know who we are, where we are, and where to go.

我们学会了如何生存,却没有学会如何生活;

风风1号(金币+2):hehe,翻译的挺好~
沙发
我翻译一哈子:
虽然我们已学会谋生,却不懂得生活;恰如我们虽已经年累月构筑一生,生命却难永恒。
牵强附会,见笑!见笑!

We have learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years.
我们可以学会怎样去谋生,却无法学会怎样去生活;
我们可以把岁月写进生活,却无法把生活写进岁月。

不知道翻译得是否恰当,请各位大虾拍砖!
