I decided to take the plunge, but waited another fortnight before I mailed the letter. I even paused briefly with the letter part way into the mail slot before I thrust the letter into the mailbox. I knew that the simple act of mailing that letter would alter my life.
我决定冒险一试,但我又等了两个星期才把信发出去。甚至在信已经部分插入投信口时,还犹豫了一会儿才把它推进邮筒。我知道寄出这封信的这一简单举动将改变我的生活。
I looked for clues to determine how striking the changes in my daily life would be. How would I spend my time? In spite of having many long yearly vacations when I could pursue other interests, I had not bothered to make an earnest effort to confine my activities to one particular hobby. Would I find life as a retiree boring? What new adventures might await me? Would I use my time to volunteer at a hospital or maybe work for a local charity? Maybe I would apply for membership in a golf league. Maybe I would donate my time and work with the Better Business Bureau. I night decide to enter local politics and run for a position on town council or I could run for the position of Deputy Mayor of my town, or maybe even consider submitting my name to be a candidate in an election for member of parliament. I would need to campaign and then wait to see if people would vote for me on Election Day at the polls.
我在寻找一些线索,以便决定如何就会日常生活的改变。我该如何消磨时光?尽管有了很多一年一次的假期,可以让我追求其他的兴趣爱好,我还是想尽力把我的活动放在追求一个特别的爱好上。我会厌烦退休人员的生活吗?会有什么新的冒险生活在等着我吗?我会利用我的时间在一所医院或者本地的一家慈善机构做自愿服务者吗?也许我会申请成为一个高尔夫球协会的会员。也许我会把时间贡献出来为商业扶助局工作。我可以决定进入本地的政界,竞选市议会议员的位置,或者可以竞选一下本市的副市长,甚至可以考虑让自己成为国会议员选举中的一位候选人。我需要参加竞选活动,然后,等着看是否有人会在选举日到投票处把票投给我。
