We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star,singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this inthe privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy ofour homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a songthat I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I ammoving along to the rhythm.Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.

　　我们每个人，在不同时期，都曾经像一个摇滚歌星那样，伴着我们最爱的那首歌又唱又跳。很多人在小时候，甚至是已长大成人，都曾在我们自己房间和家里这样隐秘空间里这样做过。我呢?我喜欢在开车的时候这样!打开收音机，找一首会唱的歌，很快我就会张开双臂，随着节奏起舞。多数时候，我在上班的路上这么做。

　　Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming whiledriving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people andothers laugh.Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leadsme to share with you the importance of being silly!

　　是的，那是真的。我会穿上我漂亮的工作服，在堵车和遇到交通灯时，有人就会用奇怪的眼神看着我，或者笑我。对我个人而言，我喜欢沉浸在一首歌的节奏中，由此我愿和你们分享:为人贵在糊涂。

　　The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is:stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to lookfoolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!

　　糊涂一词在字典中的定义是:愚蠢的，傻，荒谬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他们在生活中始终一脸严肃，而这在本质上才是真正的愚笨。

　　No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don't care howeducated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and soon... No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?

　　人无完人，我重申一次:没有人是完美的。我不在乎一个人学识多深，身材多好，外表多美，思想多浅薄，生活多俭朴，多富有……人无完人!那么，为什么要伪装成我们实际上本不是那样的呢?

　　Life is so short…You never know when this beautiful journey will beover, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is aquote by Souza,that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:

　　人生何其短暂……你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束，那么，为什么要浪费一分一秒，让自己变得棱角分明?这里引用索萨的话，我觉得她一语中的，是人生的一大秘方。

　　"Dance as though no one is watching you,

　　跳舞吧，就像没有人欣赏一样，

　　Love as though you have never been hurt before,

　　去爱吧，就像没有受到伤害一样，

　　Sing as though no one can hear you,

　　唱歌吧，就像没有人倾听一样，

　　Live as though heaven is on earth."

　　生活吧，就像今天是最后一天一样。

　　When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we hadno care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how weappeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.

　　当我们还是孩子，我们天不怕，地不怕，无忧无虑，所以我们可以不在乎自己在别人眼中的形象去做事情。然而，当我们长大，我们失去了那种天真烂漫。

　　So don't lose the child that still lives within you. The next time youfeel down,go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there isno tomorrow Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the bestmedicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard thatyour tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feet a whole lot better, and who doesn't want to feel good?

　　所以，不要丢失你心中那个小孩。下次你感到沮丧时，去打开你最爱的那首歌吧，随之歌唱起舞，就像没有明天一样。或者看点能让你笑的东西。笑声是除去任何烦恼的良方，没有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我，你会好受很多，谁又不想让自己好受呢?
