心魔作祟

    These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but more broken homes.


这个时代有双收入，但也有了更高的离婚率；有更华丽的房屋，却有更多破碎的家庭。


    These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading...?


这个时代有了快速旅游，免洗尿布，却抛弃了道德、一夜情、超重的身体，以及可以从快乐中走向静止和自杀的药物。我们将走向何方……？


    If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.


如果我们明天就死掉，我们为之工作的公司可能会在一天内很轻易地找人代替我们的位置。但是当我们离开家人后，他们的余生将会在失落中度过。


    And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.


考虑一下吧，我们将自己的时间更多地投入到工作中，而放弃与家人在一起的时光，实在并非明智之举。


    So what is the morale of the story?


那么这则故事的主旨是什么呢?


    Don’t work too hard... and you know what’s the full word of family?


不要工作得太辛苦，你知道家的全称吗？


    FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU.
