Answer/回答:
Today, I was cleaning up the accumulated mess in my computer desktop.
今天,我在整理我电脑桌面上堆积如山混乱的东西。
I opened a new folder, "The Past", which included documents, essays, certificates etc. of my past.
我打开了一个新的文件夹起名为“过去”,包含了我过去的文件,论文,证书等等 。
Five minutes passed, twenty minutes passed... and I soon decided to change the name from "The Past" to "The Opposite Future".
五分钟过去了,二十分钟过去了...我很快的决定把文件夹的名字从“过去”改为“未来的相对面”。
Why?
为什么?
Because I hate the word past. When I hear that word, it somehow reminds me that I can't change the past. It is what it is!
因为我讨厌过去这个词。当我听到这个词的时候,它总让我想起了我不能改变这个过去。它就只能是那个样子了!
I can't change it. The past is there, written, the ink is dry...
我不能改变它。过去已经在那里了,已被书写,墨水已干...
The mistakes I made will always be there: the poor essays I wrote, the hours I spent playing video games years ago.
我犯过的错误将永远在那里;写过的糟糕的论文,多年前我花在玩儿电子游戏的时间。
They are there and I can't change them. And when you mingle in the past too much, you become unhappy, depressed.
他们永远都在那儿并且我没有办法改变他们。当你总是过于深陷于过去中,你将成为一个不快乐又沮丧的人。
So instead of the "past", I prefer the "opposite future".
所以相对于“过去”,我更喜欢“未来的相对面”。
The Past is dry. Fixed.
过去的墨水已干。已经无法更改。
Future is still to be written with more wisdom and knowledge learned from the mistakes made in the pa... in the opposite future!
未来仍可以被过..哦不,未来的相对的错误中学习到的更多的智慧和知识来书写。
The ink is wet now and the pen, in your hands.
现在,墨水湿润,而且,书写的笔仍在你的手中。
