Quid Pro Quo? 等價交換?? When you help someone, they will be more likely to help you. This is the basic, unspoken agreement that fuels nearly every move. I’ll spend my entire day lugging boxes, but you owe me. It’s much easier to find help when someone knows you’d do the same for them. They may not always live up to their end of the bargin, and you may not either. But if you help enough people and do many good deeds, it will be given back when needed.?? 當(dāng)你在幫助別人的同時，別人也可能會幫助你。只是一個最基本的，也是一個心照不宣的事情，而且還會一直盡心盡力的幫你做。我愿意幫你拖一整天的箱子，但是你就欠了我一份人情。但別人知道你幫他們做了這樣一些事情之后，在你需要幫忙的時候，別人更愿意伸出援助之手。他們對別人的期望并不大，你也不要抱有太大期望。但是要是你幫了足夠多的人，做了足夠多的事情之后，當(dāng)你有需要的時候總會有人幫助你的。?? Karma goes both ways.? 因果循環(huán)?? All too often, the idea of Karma is described in a negative way. If you do bad, bad will come find you. But it works the other way too. When you are a good person and help people, good things seem to happen. And while you may not believe in an inter-connected universe that rewards good deeds, there is something to be said about how helping others changes your perspective. When you’re helping others, you will often feel better about yourself, increasing the likelihood that your next experience will be a positive one, rather than a negative one.?? 因果報應(yīng)常常是和不好的事情聯(lián)系起來的。要是你做了壞事，你會遭到報應(yīng)。但是要是你做了好事，你會得到好的結(jié)果。要是你是個心腸很好的人，樂于助人的人，好的事情就會降臨到你身上。要是你不相信世界上這種善有善報的潛在聯(lián)系，總有些事情會讓你改變你的觀點(diǎn)。當(dāng)你在幫助別人的時候，你會覺得很不錯，這也會讓你下次在遇到這些情況的時候能用更積極的心態(tài)去面對，不是消極的面對。?? Doing good feels good.? 做好事的感覺會很好?? It’s maybe the most cited benefit of doing good: you’ll feel great. Helping others is a great way to feel better about yourself. Seeing a smile or even tears of joy makes it all worth it. It’s as simple as that.?? 做好事最大的好處可能就是：自己感覺會很好。幫助別人的一個好處就是自己會感覺良好。看見別人的笑臉，或者是看見別人流出那種喜悅的淚水就覺得自己做的一切都值了。其實(shí)就是那么簡單。?? Good publicity is the best publicity.? 善行就是最好的行動?? People notice when you’re doing good. It may not be the reason you help out, but someone is always watching. Even the simplest gesture can make an awesome impression.?? 當(dāng)你在做好事的時候別人是能看見的。這可能不是你幫助別人的理由，但是總有人會注意到。即使是最簡單的動作也會給人留下不錯的印象。?? When I was in college, I had a class that helped out at a school for a full day. I worked with a small group of high school students who were incredibly interested in writing, and I had a great time. I asked the teacher if I could come back on my own time and work with these students to finish this project we were working on, to which she agreed.?? 我在讀大學(xué)的時候，參加了一個在學(xué)校幫助他人的課程。我和一群對寫作非常感興趣的高中生一起學(xué)習(xí)，那讓我度過了一段快樂的時光。我問老師我是否可以用我的課余時間和這些同學(xué)待在一起，做我們沒有做完的研究，最后她同意了。?? I went two more times that week, thinking nothing more about it. Fast forward a few weeks: I received a letter in the mail stating I had been chosen as a Presidential Grant Recipient for the summer and received a $2,000 stipend to work with a group of students and professors on a research project over the summer. I was floored, as I hadn’t even applied. I was nominated by that teacher who appreciated the work I did with her students. It wasn’t expected, but helping others ended up opening a door I never would have known was even available.?? 那周我去了很多次，只考慮那一件事。幾周后：我收到了一封信，信里說我被選為夏季總統(tǒng)授予的接受者，因?yàn)樵谀莻€夏季和同學(xué)合作研究，我還收到了2000美元。我一下子就震驚到了，因?yàn)槲也]有申請。那個老師很喜歡我和她的學(xué)生一起學(xué)習(xí)，我還受到了那個老師的提名。那些并不是我所期望的，但是幫助別人的同時幫助我們打開了所有的機(jī)會之門。?? Helping others looks good on a resume or application.? 幫助別人不僅有助于發(fā)展人際關(guān)系上還能豐富我們的簡歷?? Is your resume looking a little thin? Does your college application need a bit of pizzaz? Volunteering your time and energy to help others makes your resume and applications look as good as it makes you feel.?? 簡歷里的內(nèi)容看起來不豐富？你的大學(xué)申請看起來是不是還缺點(diǎn)什么？將你的時間和精力貢獻(xiàn)一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)出來幫助他人，讓你的簡歷、你的申請有內(nèi)容可讀。 |
