英语美文赏析：完美人生四大梦

 完美人生是什么样子呢？伯恩·崔西（Brian Tracy）告诉我们，以下四大梦想成就完美人生： Healthy and Fit 健康有活力 The first goal common to all of us is health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the incredible¹ advances in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness², and our lifespan, is largely³ determined⁴ by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits.

人生的第一个大梦就是身体健康、精力充沛。每个人都希望自己健康，远离病苦病痛、精神舒畅、活力无穷。今天的医学发达，人类可以藉由良好的规划和调理，活得更健康、更长久。有良好生活习惯的人，比起那些糟蹋自己身体的人，能活得更健康、精力更旺盛。 Excellent Relationships 人际关系良好 The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships--intimate, personal or social--with the people we like and respect, and who like, love and respect us in turn. Fully⁵ 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they like, love and respect you, has more impact⁶ on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.

人生的第二大梦就是完美的人际关系，与亲人、朋友和同事，以及社会上一般人融洽相处、互动良好。我们爱且尊敬他人，而他人也爱且尊敬我们。人们在任何一个人生阶段或居住在任何一个地区是否觉得幸福快乐，其中有百分之八十五取决于融洽的人际关系。你与他人相处的情形，他人是否喜欢你、爱你、尊重你，构成了你是否觉得幸福快乐的关键因素。 Do What You Love从事自己喜欢的工作 The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted faster. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do.

人生的第三个大梦就是做自己喜欢的工作，而且表现出色、薪酬优厚。每个人都希望从事自己喜欢的行业，拥有喜欢的工作、获得升迁、领取丰厚薪水和奖金。不论从事哪一个行业，每个人都希望在每一个职场阶段尽量赚取更多财富。 Achieve Financial Independence 财务独立 The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again. You want to be completely free of financial worries. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without using the price listings to determine what you want to eat.

人生的第四个大梦就是达到财务独立。你希望能赚取相当数量的财富，一辈子都无须为钱烦恼。走进任何一家餐厅，你可以随心所欲第点餐享用，而无须留意价目表上的数字。 以上四大梦想您完成了多少呢？不管怎样，还是要记住那句话：If you can dream it, you can achieve it! 敢于梦想，就能实现！
