大学英语美文摘录:# F$ j, {1 t) j; x" B

/ c" D: D- @* R生命就是小甜饼:/ H+ a; x6 a. Z# X
One of my patients, a successful businessman, tells me that before his cancer he would become depressed unless things went a certain way. Happiness was "having the cookie." If you had the cookie, things were good.

7 M7 J* P8 D6 e- h" o我有一位病人,他是一个成功的商人,告诉我,在他患癌症之前,凡事如果没有确定下来他就忧心忡忡。对他而言,幸福是“拥有小甜饼”。

不幸的是,小甜饼总是不断变换着,有时是金钱,有时是权力,有时是欲望。在其他时候,它是一辆新车、一份数额最大的合同、或者一个享有声望的通讯地址。/ G- x, S+ O( u& E  `" ~

But he is two and a half and I am forty-three. It's taken me this long to understand that the cookie will never make me happy for long.

不同的是,他只有两岁半,而我已经 43 了。我花了这么长的时间才明白小甜饼并不能使我长久感到幸福。9 a7 u  x6 N; ^) E$ N
