問題詳情
How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning towrite but have never yet found the time7 Far too many. This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal (排演) and, unhappily, we do missso many of its best moments. We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families always making ourselves believethat this style of life is merely a temporary state of affairs along the road to what we really want todo. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and welook back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life. In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English:“Have a nice day” theyspeak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderfulphrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day. How often do we say to ourselves, "I'll take up horse-riding (or golf, or sailing) as soon asI get a higher position," only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position. When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectable job atthe Daily Telegraph to go and edit a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was astonished by whatappeared to me to be his completely abnormal (反常的) mental state. How could anyone turn hisback on Fleet Street in central London for a small local area?I wanted to know. Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man wasunder continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his lifesitting on Southern Region trains.
