I was running a few errands
in my car the other day
the sun was out
the radio was playing
and i was singing along
前几天我在自己的车子里处理一些事情
太阳出来了
收音机播放着
我跟着里面唱起歌来
The song was a joyful one
and even my weak voice
sounded good singing it
then it happened, however
the sweet sound of the music ended
and was replaced with the dreaded news break
歌曲的旋律欢快
我五音不全也能唱好
突然优美的音乐停止了
取而代之的是骇人听闻的一些消息
i drove on while the announcer droned on
gas prices were going higher again
because of the competitive speculation on wall street
我边开着车边听着广播
由于华尔街上的投机竞争
导致油价的上涨
The race for the presidency
was getting nastier and nastier
rioting had broken out
when fans of a sports team had gone wild
celebrating their team's championship
总统竞选变得越来越手段貥脏
粉丝在庆祝喜爱的运动队伍
取得比赛胜利时候
发生了暴乱
Finally , i could take no more
and turned off the radio
最终我不堪忍受这些负面新闻之重
而关掉了收音机
Silence seemed preferable
to listening to anything else
about the crazy,competitive society we live in
i slowed down as i entered a local town
and watched the people as i drove by
此刻的宁静
比听那些令人糟心
揭露社会疯狂，竞争新闻要好多了
我减速来的镇上
看经过的人来人往
a tall muscular man
was helping an elderly lady out of a car
and helping her position her walker
so she could go into a local store
一个身材高大壮硕的男子
正在帮一位行动不便老妇人
从车里出来并帮她安放好助步器
这样他就可以去当地的商店
A smiling woman
was tossing birdseed into her backyard
while a dozen robins
flew down to enjoy the feast
being laid out before them
一位面带微笑的妇人
在她的后院给一群知更鸟投食
那些鸟儿可以大块朵颐
A young man was walking along,
carrying his two-year-old daughter safely
in his arms
一位年轻的父亲走来
将他两岁的女儿楼在臂弯
看起来安全感十足
He ticked her gently
when she pulled the hat off his head
and they both laguhed
当女儿试图去拉他的帽子
他开始挠女儿痒痒
他们都开心的笑了
I laughed too
as i looked at all of this kindness
当看到生命中这些温暖美好的事情
我也笑了
it felt like a glimpse of heaven
the radio may have been off in my car
but in my heart i was still singing
尽管车里广播被我关了
但是我的心仿佛随着之前播放的歌曲
悠扬的唱了起来
In truth
this world could use a little more kindness
and a lot less competition
我所感到生命的真谛是
这个世界可以多一些美好
少一些竞争
Kindness maked us all winners in this life
kindness reminds us
that we are all god's children
kindness shows us
that we don't have to beat others in this world
带着善意让我们每个人都是赢家
让我们觉得自己是上帝之子
不需要打败这个世上的任何人
we just have to love them
may all of your moments here
then be full of kindness , love and joy
我们只要自然的爱着
只愿生命的每一刻都平顺喜乐
And may your only competition be with yourself
to be the best possible you that you can be
愿我们永远都以超越自己为目标
