我甚至为我们现行过着的朴素生活预先经历过一次彩排好些年前,我们位于圣巴巴拉的家被大火烧为平地,只剩下那天晚上我在通宵营业超市买的那把牙刷。而我位于日本的不知名两居室看起来比那烧毁的大房子更富裕。现在我有时间一边在太阳底下慢慢咬着甜橘,一边细读约翰勒卡雷的新作。当席格若斯乐队的专辑推出时,那美妙的音乐便华丽地充盈着我的日日夜夜。那时,快乐看起来就像平和或激情那样,在你不去追求的时候,它便毫不吝惜地出现了。
If youre the kind of person who prefers freedom to security, who feels more comfortable in a small room than a large one and who finds that happiness comes from matching your wants to your needs, then 31)running to stand still isnt where your joy lies. In New York, a part of me was always somewhere else, thinking of what a simple life in Japan might be like. Now Im there, I find that I almost never think of Rockefeller Center or Park Avenue at all.
如果你喜欢自由多于安全,在一个小房子里比在一个大房子里感觉更舒适,发现快乐来源于满足你的想要与所需,那么,营营役役、超这赶那的生活不是你的快乐所在。在纽约,我总感觉心系别处,想着在日本的简单生活会是怎么样的。而现在,在这里,我发现自己几乎从来不会想起洛克菲勒中心或者派克大街。
