英语演讲：十二条人生法则助你成长

I know people feel really doomed and overwhelmed these days and they keep asking me what's true. So I hope that my list of things I'm almost positive about might offer some basic operating instructions to anyone who's feeling really overwhelmed or beleaguered.

我知道这些天人们觉得自己注定要失败，不知所措，他们一直问我什么是真实的。所以我希望我列出的这些我几乎是肯定的事情可以给那些感到不知所措或被围困的人提供一些基本的操作指导。

No. 1, the first and truest thing is that all truth is a paradox.

第一，最重要也是最真实的是，所有的真理都是悖论。

No. 2, almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.

第二，只要你把插头拔掉几分钟，几乎所有的东西都会恢复工作，包括你自己。

No.3, there is almost nothing outside of you that will help in any kind of lasting way, unless you're waiting for an organ. You can't buy, achieve or date. Serenity and peace of mind and goodness all over everybody.  

第三，你的身体之外几乎没有任何东西能持久地帮助你，除非你在等待一个器官。你不能买，不能实现，也不能约会。宁静、平和、善良笼罩着每一个人。

No. 4. Everyone is screwed up, broken, clingy and scared. So try not to compare your insights to other people's outsides. It will only make you worse than you already are.

第四，每个人都搞砸了，破碎了，粘人了，害怕了。所以尽量不要把你的见解和别人的外表作比较。这只会让你变得更糟。

No. 5, chocolate with 75% cacao is not actually a food. Its best use is as a bait in snake traps or to balance the legs of wobbly chairs.

第五，含有75%可可的巧克力实际上并不是一种食物。它的最佳用途是作为捕蛇陷阱的诱饵或平衡摇摇晃晃的椅子的腿。

No. 6, writing. Every writer you know writes really terrible first drafts, but they keep their butt in the chair. That's the secret of life. That's probably the main difference between you and them.

第六，写作。你认识的每个作家的初稿都写得很糟糕，但他们总是埋头苦干。这就是生命的秘密。这可能是你和他们的主要区别。

No.7, publication and temporary creative successes are something you have to recover from.

第七点，发行和临时创意的成功是你需要从中恢复的东西。

No. 8, families are hard, no matter how cherished and astonishing they may also be.

第八，家家都有一本难耐念的经，不管他们是多么的珍贵和惊人。

No.9, at family gatherings where you suddenly feel homicidal or suicidal. Remember that in all cases, it's a miracle that any of us were specifically were conceived and born fine. Food. Try to do a little better. I think. You know what I mean.

第九，在家庭聚会上，你突然想杀人或自杀。记住，在任何情况下，我们中的任何一个人都是一个奇迹，特别是我们被怀孕并出生得很好。食物。试着做得更好一点。我认为。你们能明白我的心情。

No. 10, Grace is spiritual. WD40 or water wings. Laughter really is carbonated holiness. It helps us breathe again and again and gives us back to ourselves. And this gives us faith in life and each other.

第十，恩典是属灵的。WD40或水翼。笑真的是碳化的神圣。它帮助我们一次又一次地呼吸，让我们回归自我。这给了我们对生活和彼此的信心。

No.11, God just means goodness. It's really not all that scary. It means the divine or a loving, animating intelligence, or as we learn from the great deteriorata, the cosmic Muffin, a good name for god is not me. And finally, death.

第十一，上帝就是善良的意思。其实没那么可怕。它的意思是神圣的，有爱的，有活力的智慧，或者正如我们从大退化中了解到的，宇宙松饼，上帝的好名字不是我。最终，都会死亡。

No. 12. And yikes. It's so hard to bear when a few people you cannot live without die. Time and tears will heal you to some extent. Almost every single death is easy and gentle with the very best people surrounding you for as long as you need. You won't be alone.

第十二，几个你离不开的人死了，你真的很难忍受。时间和眼泪会在某种程度上治愈你。几乎每个人的死亡都是轻松而温和的，只要你需要，身边都有最好的人。你不会孤单的。
