Goodbye Yesterday

今井美樹

詞譯：Qin

Goodbye Yesterday

生まれ変わった私が現在ここにいる

一個完全嶄新的我現在就在這裡

ほらね今までより笑顔が似合うでしょ？

跟從前相比笑容是不是更加相稱

思いきり笑って泣いて自分らしさに出逢えた

盡情地哭了盡情地笑了尋回了真正的自己

やっと辿りついた永遠の優しさに続く路

終於踏上了這條通向永恆平靜的道路

涙の数だけ人はきっと幸せに近づいているはず

有過越多淚的人也就是距離幸福更近的人

さよならから明日が始まる

再見的一刻就是明天的開始

Goodbye Yesterday and Hello Tomorrow...

たとえば誰かを愛して傷つくことがあっても

如果是因為愛某一個人受到了傷害

それは愛しい傷明日への道しるべ

那是一種難得的傷痛指引著明天的方向

すべてを受け入れた時に光は近づいてくる

當接納這所有一切的時候希望就在前方招手

空に抱かれた時永遠はこの胸に刻まれる

黨藍天擁抱我的時候永恆深深刻在了我心中

季節が風のように巡って私は髪を短く切って

季節就宛如這風在巡迴我剪去了我的長髮

世界は今日も朝を迎える

今天的世界依然在迎接早晨

Goodbye Yesterday...Goodbye Yesterday...

歓びと哀しみに抱かれて私は優しく微笑んでる

擁有了歡樂擁有了悲哀我在溫柔地微笑著

さよならこそ昨日への感謝

再見就是送給昨日的感謝

Goodbye Yesterday and Hello Tomorrow...

Quiet Time

Do we sometimes wish we could just make the world go away?

Escape from being bombarded every day with information

and demands from all the different kinds of communication

– cell phones, emails, computers, we name it?

I was reading an article by a neurobiologist
who was saying that this type of bombardment of neuronal activity

has a long-lasting effect on the nervous system.

And do you know what his remedy was?

A 24-hour-period of solitude. Meaning no communication,

written, spoken, live or recorded, with anyone or anything.

He thought that a kind of "national day" of solitude would do more

to improve brain activity than any number of "brain exercises."

Of course, he was speaking as a scientist,
but the benefits of a period of solitude for your emotional and spiritual

well-being have been known for thousands of years.

Many religions and cultures have a tradition of retreating from the outside world

for a period of time to reconnect with one's spiritual source.

And modern psychology also echoes the benefits of some "quiet time."

We all need time to explore our inner self and renew our spirit,

so we're all the more ready to tackle the demands of everyday life.

As the writer Pearl Buck has said,

"I love people. I love my family, my children…

but inside myself is a place where I live all alone

and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up."

So, why not make room for some solitude in that busy schedule of ours?

It doesn't have to be a full 24 hours. Just some time

when we can retreat to our own "inner space" on a regular basis.

It could do wonders for us in all areas

-- physically, mentally, and spiritually.

We certainly deserve it.

Adventure Life

Did you ever dream as a child of running away to join the circus? Well, I've just read a great story about someone who did just that -- and after an event-filled life, went back to perform one last time at the age of 80.

Elizabeth Herring, "Bunny," as she was called, came from a socially prominent family and after graduating from boarding school went to New York to study ballet in 1946. One day, a recruiter from Bailey Circus dropped in to the class looking for dancers to promenade in between the acts for the circus. Bunny was hooked. She thought it sounded so glamorous, to travel around and perform in those sparkling costumes.

Her father sent her a telegram saying the contract wasn't binding, and to return home. Well, she didn't. She spent the next three years not only promenading, but also, among other things, riding horses bareback and lying still while an elephant put its foot over her face. And then she met a cowboy named Skyler, married him, and settled on a farm. Bunny raised a family, got a college degree and became a nurse. But she treasured those circus memories.

And then came the chance to relive them. Bunny had been a lifelong supporter of many circus charities, and to raise money for a benefit she decided to have one more go in the ring. She had lived a life of adventure and decided to have just one more. So she spent three months training and, on her 80th birthday, performed one last time on the trapeze in her spangly costume to great applause.

While we may not all be able to run away to join the circus, I think that keeping that sense of adventure alive in us is so important. What adventure have you always dreamed about? What calls out to you? It's different for each of us. It may not be dramatic, like sailing around the world or climbing Mount Everest. But we each have our own "adventure" calling out to us. So why not give it some thought, and answer the call?

聖誕上海飄雪？？

2002年夏季她曾經許過一個願

如果那一年聖誕之夜上海飄雪了

一定和他永遠永遠也不分開

秋葉飄落前的某一天

他抱緊淚人似的她說：等我回來。。。那聲音是如此乾涸帶著滄桑

提著箱子他往外走回頭看她那一瞬箱子落到地上他沖了回來

深深吻住了她的唇他的眼裏滿是淚水掉頭還是走了。。。

她曾幻想他不會走只是嚇唬她他是捨不得她的。。。

雖然她清楚明白自己真的闖了個天大的禍

他說的沒錯他必須去處理她闖下的這樁禍

她曾乘他淋浴把他護照藏了醒來看見他翻箱倒櫃到處在找

。。。激烈的爭吵。。。

最終還是告訴了他護照在他西裝内懷口袋

她在較勁在下賭注賭他是否會留下那件西裝愚蠢天真

天昏地暗他走后的那段日子一個人不知如何生活

於是離開傷心地和父母一起飛去國外居住一段時間

聖誕前他說死也要回來陪她過聖誕

她撇下父母單獨飛回了上海

他真的來了回到了倆人的小窩充滿了笑聲和淚水的 2002年年末

聖誕之夜預訂了波特曼的意大利餐廳

出租車行駛到靜安寺附近奇跡出現了車窗外雪花飄揚美得令人嘆息

上帝啊願望會成真嗎？她默默地祈禱著

波特曼到了雪花卻再也找不着了像是一場夢上帝賜給她的聖誕禮物

整整一星期他們廝守著

2002年結束之前離別依然降臨

浦東機場兩人的航班只差20多分鈡

是她登機的時間了一句話沒說飛奔似地離開了

匆匆上了飛機手機響了她躲進洗手間電話那一頭他瘋狂地呼喊著：

看不見你呀，你在哪個窗口，我在找你呀。。。

她泣不成聲顫抖的手指関了手機電源

2006年聖誕快要降臨

她眼前浮現著 2002年聖誕夜靜安寺附近飄舞的雪花

只是她已經不再幻想

聖誕不遠了。。。

雨幾乎停了天色卻陰沉沉的

氣溫明顯下降濕冷

東北下雪了北京也下了雪

上海進入了深秋-初冬

今年上海的秋天被這場雨嚇跑了似的

短袖套大衣也不足爲奇

女友明天去新加坡度幾天夏日

短信來問u want me to buy sth?

我回復buy back my heart fm my ex-boyfriend pls

當然是玩笑

她回復that is sth hard to do, u know:-)

當然還是玩笑一個

就這樣我們這群女人自娛自樂

T的例行電話我例行接聼他多說我多聼

他邊不停抽煙邊不停説話

明知是我很不喜歡的他依然那樣

日文報紙英文雜誌時尚雜誌等五家媒體一行6人

加上我上海最新的泰國餐廳Baan Thai一起晚餐

味道很不錯裝修當然也不錯因爲

那是我姐們設計的而且是我的best friend

下周為她牽了綫日本建築師特來上海洽談合作

聖誕不遠了

去美甲店做指甲聖誕樹等在店内氣氛濃濃

是啊聖誕前的一個月大家忙忙碌碌

A好嗎？ G這些日子干些什麽？。。。他還有他呢？

回憶起2002年的現在 2003年的現在2004年的現在

和去年的現在今年的開始

想象著2007年的開始

Don't be afraid to be nice!

I was reading an interesting article about a book two female advertising executives wrote about their unique attitude. Their philosophy was that it pays to be nice. In other words, they didn't go in for the dog-eat-dog mentality, or the idea that you had to be out to "get" your competition. And behold, they succeeded and became one of the nation's fastest-growing advertising agencies.

They said, "Actually, it takes courage to be nice. It takes bravery to help your enemy or give kudos to your competitor. It takes great inner strength to show compassion for someone who isn't treating you particularly well." And they cite research that has shown that taking the nice path can strengthen not only your career, but also marriage and even health. Well, I'm actually not surprised at that.

What it really boils down to is that old saying about "what goes around comes around." And that is just a description of what you might call the Law of the Universe. What we "put out there" comes back to us. So, if we're expressing ourselves negatively in our thoughts or words or acting in a destructive way, the Universe is going to reflect that back to us. On the other hand, if we have a positive mindset and act for and look for the best in any situation, the Universe will echo back that to us in abundance.
