Gratitude

◎供稿：胡天豪

We are supposed to express ourgratitude［感激］to others on Thanksgiving Day. However, we should feel gratitude every day.

God has two dwellings, one in heaven, and the other in a thankful heart. Be grateful to others is a way to show your love. In our daily life,we often receive help from our parents, friends,colleagues［同事］and strangers. Perhaps it is a little thing, pick up the pen you drop, lift a heavy box for you or offer you a seat in the bus. We should be thankful to them for whatever they have done. The more love you give, the more love you receive.

A sense of gratitude canacknowledging［接受，承認］ourinterdependent existence［相互依存］. You will be ready to help others if you have a thankful heart. Therefore, a thankful heart is like a magnet. Not only will we attract more things to be grateful for, but also we will attract gratitude from others.

Gratitude is heaven itself. A sense of gratitude and indebtedness to others is and important wellspring of a generous and virtuous life. We now fall into a busy life,neglecting to be grateful for details, the beauty of nature, thecomforts［舒適］of modern living ,the love of parents and so on. People can notice thesedetails［細節(jié)］and realize the friendship,love and happiness in our life with a grateful heart.

參考譯文

感恩節(jié)我們應該向他人表達我們的感激之情。然而，我們應該每天都感到感激。

上帝有兩個住所，一個在天堂，另一個在感恩的心中。感激他人是表達你愛的一種方式。在我們的日常生活中，我們經(jīng)常得到父母、朋友、同事和陌生人的幫助。也許這是一件小事，幫你撿起掉落的筆，給你舉一個沉重的盒子，或者在公共汽車上讓給你一個座位。我們應該感謝他們所做的一切。你給予的愛越多，你得到的愛就越多。

感恩意識可以提示我們相互依存。如果你有一顆感恩的心，你會樂于幫助別人。因此，感恩的心就像一塊磁鐵。我們不僅會吸引更多值得感激的東西，還會吸引其他人的感激。

感恩就是天堂本身。對他人的感激和負債感是慷慨和善良生活的重要源泉。我們現(xiàn)在往往陷入忙碌的生活，忽略了對細節(jié)、大自然的美麗、現(xiàn)代生活的舒適、父母的愛等的感激。人們帶著一顆感恩的心就可以注意到這些細節(jié)，體會我們生活中的友誼、愛和幸福。
