Day 47: On the Folly of Loafing Around
第47天:关于游手好闲的愚蠢
The loafer believes he is enjoying life, but sooner or later he must face disillusion.
游手好闲的人认为自己在享受生活,但他迟早要面对幻灭。
—Fausto Cercignani
Since self-discipline shines in the long term, and often doesn’t seem to provide any benefits in the short term, you may be tempted to believe that people who are loafing around have it better.
由于自律从长远来看会大放异彩,但在短期内似乎往往不会带来任何好处,因此你可能会倾向于认为那些游手好闲的人生活得更好。
While you’re watching your finances like a hawk, they spend money they don’t have and show off with all the new cool gadgets.
当你像鹰一样盯着自己的财务状况时,他们却在乱花钱,还炫耀着所有很酷的新玩意。
While you’re eating a salad and washing it down with a cup of green tea, they’re eating a bag of delicious potato chips and gulping down sugary cans of Coke.
当你吃着沙拉,并就着一杯绿茶下肚时,他们却在吃着一袋美味的薯片,大口大口地喝着含糖的可乐。
While you feel like throwing up during your workout from trying to to squeeze out one more rep, they squeeze more mayo out of the bottle to put it on the French fries they gorge on while watching their favorite TV shows.
当你在锻炼时为了多做一个动作而差点呕吐时,他们却从瓶子里挤出更多的蛋黄酱来涂在薯条上,边吃边看他们最喜欢的电视节目。
It might seem they have it better, but sooner or later the person exposing himself or herself to discomfort for the sake of achieving their long-term goals will come out on top, while the people loafing around will get to feel the negative consequences of their laziness.
看似他们过得更好,但迟早有一天,为了实现自己的长远目标而让自己感到不适的人会脱颖而出,而游手好闲的人则会感受到懒惰带来的负面影响。
Irresponsible spenders will realize they’re on the brink of bankruptcy. Potato chip addicts will be diagnosed with diabetes. The inactive TV fans will start taking hypertension medication
不负责任的消费者会意识到自己濒临破产。
薯片成瘾者会被诊断出糖尿病。
不爱运动的电视迷会开始服用高血压药物……。
You, on the other hand, will look back at your past sacrifices and smile, happy that you’ve never succumbed to the temptation to take it easy and loaf around.
而你,回首过去的牺牲,会心一笑
,庆幸自己从未屈服于悠然自得和游手好闲的诱惑。
