小熊維尼的簡單智慧 就像這樣當個好朋友

Winnie the Pooh was one of my childhood favorites. Perhaps it was because Disney made him so cute and loveable? Or perhaps it was because he was full of simple wisdom about how we can live a good life.

《小熊維尼》是我童年最喜歡的動畫之一。也許是因爲迪斯尼把他刻畫得如此可愛又討人喜歡？或許是因爲他對於如何過上美好的生活充滿了簡單的智慧。

Here are seven quotes from Winnie the Pooh that hint at how we can be a really good friend.

這裏是小熊維尼的七條語錄，提示我們如何成爲一個真正的好朋友。

1. "Some people care too much. I think it's called love."

1、“一些人關心得太多。我認爲這就是愛。”

Caring is a good thing. It is the emotion that holds us together and what separates our friends from all the other humans out there. Let yourself "care too much". True friendship is built on love.

關心是好事。這種情感把我們連接在一起，而且能把我們的朋友與其他所有人區分開來。讓自己“多關心一點”。真正的友誼是建立在愛的基礎上的。

2. "A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey."

2、“沒有朋友的一天就像罐子裏沒有了蜂蜜。”

Having strong social relationships improves our overall well-being. Research indicates that those who have close and supportive relationships in their lives, have both better physical and psychological health. Your friendships matter.

擁有強有力的社會關係從整體上使我們更加幸福快樂。研究指出，那些在生活中擁有親密關係而且能夠與朋友互相支持的人，身心更加健康。你的友誼很重要。

3. Piglet: "How do you spell love?" Pooh: "You don't spell it, you feel it."

3、小豬：“你如何拼寫愛這個單詞呢？”維尼：“愛不是拼寫出來的，而是用來感受的。”

Relationships are built over time. You need to be committed to developing your friendships and giving them the space, energy and time to grow naturally. Because you can’t spell friendship, you have to feel it.

關係是建立在時間的基礎上的。你需要對自己的友誼作出承諾，並給予空間、精力和時間來使其自然成長。因爲你不能拼寫出友誼，你必須要感受它。

4. "Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon."

4、“每個人都會爲得到一個氣球而歡呼。”

As Pooh Bear suggests, you could deliver them a balloon, as it is hard not to smile when you're given a balloon. We all have the power to brighten the day of another.

就像維尼熊建議的那樣，你可以給他們一個氣球，因爲當別人給你一個氣球的時候，你很難不對他微笑。我們有能力使別人擁有燦爛的一天。

5. "If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear."

5、“如果你的訴說對象好像沒在聽你講話，你要耐心一點。也許他只是耳朵裏有一小團絨毛。”

Give your friends the benefit of the doubt. Rather than becoming instantly frustrated or offended, if you don't feel heard by a friend, try being patient with them. Nobody is perfect, and we all have times where we will be distracted.

相信你的朋友，而不是瞬間就覺得挫敗或不舒服，如果你覺得朋友沒在聽你講話，試着對他們耐心一些。人無完人，我們都有分心的時候。

6. "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."

6、“我多麼幸運，能夠擁有這些讓我難以開口說再見的東西。”

As we grow in life, many of our close relationships become interrupted by physical distance. Rather than focusing on the fact that your good friends aren’t physically close, focus on how lucky you are to have a connection with them.

在成長的過程中，許多親密的關係會被空間距離打斷。不要關注你和好朋友不再貼近這個事實，而是要想自己多麼幸運，依然與他們保持聯繫。

7. "Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you know."

7、“永遠記住你比自己所相信的更勇敢、比所展現的更堅強、比所認爲的更聰慧、 比所知道的更值得被愛。”

Don't forget that you too deserve your love and affection. Speak to yourself and encourage yourself like you would your best friend. And don't forget, you are more loved than you know.

不要忘記你也應該愛自己，你也值得被愛。同自己講話，像鼓勵最好的朋友那樣鼓勵自己。不要忘記，你比自己所知道的更值得被愛。
