From "Men in Trees"(Sweatering It Out)
It's a hard thing -- patience.
But when something means enough to you,
whether you're waiting to regain your past
or start your future,
patience is going to be critical.
So,what do you think,elmo?
What in your life's worth waiting for?
耐心--是件困难的事。
但是当一些事对你来说意味着圆满时,
不管你是在等待着找回过去,
还是要开始新的未来,
耐心都至关重要。
那么你们是怎么看的呢 Elmo?
你们的生活中有什么值得期待的呢?
They say patience is a virtue
and like most virtues,
we never know if we possess it
until it's been tested.
If we're lucky,
we have someone to take that test with us.
And if we can pass that test,
if we can wait long enough,
we just might find the reward
greater than we ever expected.
人们说耐心是种美德,
如同大多数美德一样,
我们从不知道自己是否拥有它,
直到我们经受考验。
如果我们走运,
会有人和我们共同经历考验。
如果我们能通过考验,
如果我们等待的时间够长,
也许会发现我们所得到的,
已经超过了我们所渴望的。
The funny thing about waiting is
it always seems,
the more we want something
the longer we have to wait for it.
Deciding to wait out the long haul
shouldn't be taken lightly.
But it's an easier decision
to live with than others.
关于等待,有趣的是,
似乎总是我们渴望得越深,
我们等待的时间就会越久。
决定一直等到漫长的终点并不容易,
可比起其它决定,
却更能从容应对。
