Live Like a Child
像孩子一样生活
My family has been adopted recently.
我们家最近收养了一只猫。
It appears that a sweet, stray（迷路） kitten about five months old has taken us to be her family.
一只五个月大的可爱的流浪猫选择了我们作为她的家人。
The kitten found my wife first and won over her heart completely.
这只猫先是找到了我的妻子，然后完全俘获了她的心。
She then proceeded to love her way into each of my children's hearts and my own as well.
她接着继续将爱深入到我的每一个孩子心中，以及我的心中。
It is such a joy watching my children pet her, play with her, and love her so happily.
看着孩子们爱抚她、和她一起玩耍并且如此幸福地爱着她是一件乐事。
It reminds me of all the simple joys that I cherished in my own childhood:
这让我想起我自己童年时期珍爱的那些简单的快乐：
petting dogs, holding kittens, riding bikes, playing ball, and swinging on swings.
爱抚小狗，抱着小猫，骑车，打球，以及荡秋千。
The funny thing is that I still enjoy many of these things today. Maybe I still have the heart of a child.
有趣的是，至今，我依然享受这其中的很多事情。可能我依然有一颗童心。
My wife once showed me an article about how children and adults see things differently and I found myself agreeing with the children on every point.
我的妻子曾经给我看过一篇关于儿童和成年人看待事物如何不同的文章，我发现自己在每一点上，都与孩子们意见一致。
If you ask me（我认为）, having a child's heart is a pretty good thing.
依我看，有一颗童心是一件相当好的事。
Children take joy freely wherever they can find it. Adults tend to hold back on their joy for fear of being called immature（不成熟）.
孩子们无拘无束地享受快乐，在任何能够找到快乐之处。成年人往往抑制自己的快乐，因为害怕被叫做不成熟。
Children tend to accept and love people unconditionally. Adults tend to judge and reject others without getting to know them.
孩子们往往无条件地接受并爱护别人。成年人往往在不了解别人之前就评价、拒绝别人。
Children tend to live and find happiness in the present moment. Adults tend to live in guilt about the past and worry about the future.
孩子们往往生活在此时此刻并寻找快乐。成年人往往生活在对过去生活的内疚和对未来生活的担忧中。
Don't be afraid to live as a child then. Don't be afraid to play with a dog, cuddle（拥抱） a cat, and swing on a swing.
那么不要害怕像孩子一般生活了。不要害怕和狗玩耍，和猫相拥，和荡秋千了。
Don't be afraid to enjoy the moment, to love other people, and to find fun and joy everywhere.
不要害怕去享受当下，去关爱他人，去发现生活中随处可见的乐趣和喜悦。
