趣味英语第39期:怎么能找到幸福

Pussans wants to know:

普山想知道：

"How can I get to sleep when I have noisy neighbors?"

“有非常吵的邻居要怎么入睡？”

You start making noise as close to their house as possible and see how they like it.

你可以在尽可能靠近他们房子的地方制造噪音，看看他们什么反应。

You move your bed to a different room.

把床搬去另一个房间。

Shut your windows and put earmuffs on.

关上窗户，戴上耳罩。

Get some ear plugs! If that doesn't work, then move.

戴耳塞！如果这样做没用，那就搬家吧。

I just listen to music, so put in headphones and kinda just listen to that.

我会听音乐，戴上耳机听音乐。

Sometimes a ceiling fan works, or a fan. That could tune¹ out some of the sounds.

吊扇或者电扇可以帮到你。吊扇可以屏蔽掉一些噪音。

Communication is always the best first attempt. Other than that, if that's not working, call the cops on them.

你最好先去和他们沟通。如果这不起作用，那就报警。

You go to them and you tell them, "You'd better quiet down or else I'll call the police." And trust me, they'll never ever be noisy again.

你要去告诉他们：“你们最好安静些，否则我就要报警了。”相信我，他们再也不会制造噪音了。

Depending on the time, you can call the police. I've had noisy neighbors as well. I've been the noisy neighbor when I've been in bands.

这要依据时间而定，你可以报警。我也遇到过很吵的邻居。我之前玩乐队时曾经也是很吵的邻居。

I feel you! My neighbors, they have like, five tiny, little dogs and they have a huge parrot that screams out, "Hello!" Go over and be super polite and super nice to them. Be like, "Hello. I get that you guys are doing your thing, but I need to sleep because I have class tomorrow."

我理解你的感受！我的邻居有五条小狗，他们还有一只大鹦鹉，一直在大喊：“你好！”你可以去找邻居，非常礼貌地和他们说，“你好，我想你们正在忙，可是我现在要睡觉，我明天还有课。”

Soundproof your entire room. That's what I did in my jam room, and you can't hear anything in there. We have loud music inside there, and you go outside and it's just the dullest thing. You're like-(hushed beatboxing)— but on the inside it's like, "BWAAAAH!"

把你的房间弄成隔音房间。我的音乐室就是这样弄的，这样你就听不到任何声音了。我们会在我的音乐室里大声放音乐，外面只能听到很小的声音。你在外面听到的可能是这样（轻声口技），可是里面其实声音非常大！

Francisco asks:

弗朗西斯科问道：

"How do I find happiness?"

“怎么能找到幸福？”

Smile everyday. Look at every single rainbow. Happiness!

每天微笑。欣赏彩虹。这就是幸福！

Do activities you enjoy and you'll probably realize one day that you're happy.

参加感兴趣的活动，有一天你可能会意识到你很幸福。

You just find something that you like to do and that will make you happy!

找到你喜欢做的事情，这会让你感到幸福的！

Finding things you love to do, surrounding yourself with people that care about you.

找到你喜欢的事情，让自己被关心自己的人围绕。

Don't be a dick, but do what you wanna do. You know, follow what you want to do. It's best to look back on your life, when you're old, and say, "I'm glad I did all these things," instead of, "I wish I did all these things."

不要胡闹，做你自己想做的事。做自己喜欢的事情。你老了以后回顾你的人生时最好有这种感想：“我很高兴我做了这些事情”，而不是“我希望我做了这些事。”

When you love yourself, you're gonna find happiness everywhere.

你爱自己的话，在任何地方都能找到幸福。

You have to change your attitude. That's probably one of the ways. There are a lot of people that are happier, and they have a lot less than others.

你要改变你的态度。这可能是其中一个方法。有许多人比其他人幸福，但是他们拥有的却比那些人少。

It's not a matter of finding happiness. It's a matter of creating it. Be positive. Always think, and do, and act in a way that's gonna benefit you.

这与寻找幸福无关，而是要创造幸福。态度要积极。要用会对你有益的方法去思考、做事情。

Francisco, look inside yourself. Every day, you wake up and say to yourself, "I'm a happy man today."

弗朗西斯科，你要看清你自己的内心。每天你起床以后要对自己说：“我今天是个幸福的人。”

You're gonna need to go to a Jui-Jitsu and Muay Thai and Aikido academy 'cause that's what it takes to be Chuck Norris.

你要去柔道、泰拳和合气道学院，这些是教你成为查克·诺里斯的地方。

If I knew this, I would know the definition of life. Like, what is the meaning of life? Chuck Norris is just an overall bad ass², so you gotta do bad ass. Chuck Norris, he uses sandpaper to wipe his or some. Yeah, do that.

如果我知道答案，我就知道人生的定义了。人生的意义是什么？查克·诺里斯就是一个坏蛋，那你也要成为坏人。查克·诺里斯，他用沙纸擦……。你也那样做吧。
