Think It Over
佚名/Anonymous
今天的我们,有了更高的建筑、更宽的公路,性情却更急躁,眼界也更狭窄;
我们的花费更多,享受却更少了;
我们的房子大了,家却更小了;
我们有了更多的妥协,时间却更少了;
我们的知识更多了,判断力却日渐下降;
我们的药品日益丰富,健康却不尽如人意;
我们的财富不断累积,但价值慢慢缩减;
我们说的更多,爱的却少了,仇恨也更多了;
我们能往返月球,却发现穿梭于街道与邻居接触是那么难;
我们征服了外太空,却征服不了我们的心;
我们的收入多了,道德意识却少了;
这是一个自由的时代,但能享受的快乐少了;
我们有了更多的食物,营养却少了;
如今每个家庭都有双份薪水,离婚率也越来越高;
如今的住房越来越高档,破碎的家庭也越来越多。
这就是我要说的,让我们从今天开始的原因。
Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view;
We spend more, but enjoy less;
We have bigger houses, but smaller families;
We have more compromises, but less time;
We have more knowledge, but less judgment;
We have more medicines, but less health;
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values;
We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much;
We reached the Moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors;
We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space;
We have higher income, but less morals;
These are times with more liberty, but less joy;
We have much more food, but less nutrition;
These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase;
