被忽略的快乐

The Uncared-for Happiness被忽略的快乐

In a painter's house, I saw a very special painting,which was a piece of mounted white paper,on the left middle of which there was a black stain.在一位画家的屋里，我见到了一幅非常特别的画。那是一张被装裱起来的白纸，在中间偏左上的位置有一块黑溃。I didn't understand what gifted pen such a black stain was that the painter hung it on the most prominent position right in the middle of the wall. I kept pondering for a long time,but my mind was still a complete blank.我不明白这块黑溃到底算什么生花妙笔，被画家挂在了墙壁正当中最为显眼的位置上。我琢磨了很长时间，头脑里仍然是一片空白。我向画家请教。I asked the artist for advice.The painter said,“This painting of mine is called'Happiness.’”画家说：“我的这幅画叫‘快乐’。”“快乐？我不明白。”在我的记忆中，没有哪个画家能画出快乐来。“Happiness? I don't understand.” In my memory, no artist could paint happiness. The painter said,“The black stain in the middle stands for pain. When every person sees this painting of mine,he or she only sees this painful black stain,but can't see the happiness in the background. Isn't our life in this way? How much happiness we turn a blind eye to,but we are shut out by the minimal pain.”画家说：“中间这块黑渍是痛苦，每个人看到我的这幅画时，都是只看到这块痛苦的黑溃，却看不到背景里的快乐。我们的生活不是这样吗？多少快乐，我们都视而不见，却被微小的痛苦遮住了双眼。”I said,“In your mind,this painting should be a piece of white paper.”我说：“按照你的说法，这张画应该是一张白纸。”He said,"Without pain,we won't even more see happiness.”他说：“没有痛苦，我们更见不到快乐。”I come to see that we always focus on the pain while the happiness is often the part we have overlooked.我明白了，我们总是盯着痛苦，而快乐常常是被我们忽略的那部分。
