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;
