The weird brightness of a snow covered full moon night.

满月之下积雪反射出的诡异的明亮夜色。

NuclearCandy
When the top layer of snow is fresh and fluffy, and moonlight sparkles off the individual snowflakes like a wave of glitter. The sound of your footsteps crunching quietly beneath you. The quiet ambient swish of snowflakes falling onto the ground and the light pattering of them hitting your jacket. It's a very peaceful feeling when the weather is just right for it.

表层的新鲜积雪毛茸茸的,月光照耀在一片片雪花上就像闪光的波浪一样。脚步声在你的脚底安静地嘎吱作响。雪花落在地上,落到你的外套上,发出轻微的声音。当天气正好的时候,这会给你带来非常安静祥和的感受。

Seeing one of your parents get so excited about doing something with you that they're almost crying.

看见你的父母因为和你一起做某件事情而兴奋到差点哭出来。

My dad and I have always gotten along, but we've also bickered a lot since I was a teenager. But last August, he and I took a road trip to New Mexico and went to these really old Native American ruins called Gila Cliffs (I highly recommend everyone go there at some point too. It's amazing!). He and I were walking up the trail, and then we rounded a corner and there they were: these 500 year old Native American ruins built into the cliffside. My dad looked over at me with a smirk on his face and a little water in his eyes and told me "I'm so glad I get to experience this with you." My dad doesn't express a lot of emotion usually, so that was really meaningful to me. I think everyone deserves to have an experience like that with one of their parents. It's so special.

我和我爸一直都处的还行,但是从我进入青春期以来我们也吵了不少。去年八月,我和他开车去新墨西哥州,参观了名叫吉拉悬崖的特别古老的印第安原住民遗迹。(我非常推荐你们有空都去看看,景色太棒了!)我和他沿着小路行走,绕过一个拐角之后就看见了:在悬崖上建造的,500年历史的印第安原住民遗址。我父亲看向我,面带微笑,眼睛有点湿润,然后对我说“我真的很开心能和你一起经历这一切。”我父亲平常不会表达很多感情,所以这对我真的意义重大。我觉得每个人都应该和他们的父母经历这样的事情。这太特别了。

Your story is very beautiful, it brought some tears to my eyes. I am realising that something so simple will probably never happen to me unfortunately.

你的故事很美。让我的眼睛都湿润了。不幸的是,我发现这种如此简单的事情或许这辈子都不会发生在我的身上。

Old growth forests. There is something humbling about seeing for yourself the life cycle of huge ancient trees and the incredible lush and vibrant ecosystems that exist around them as they grow, fall, decompose, and grow again over decades. A week walking across cradle mountain in Tasmania was life changing for me, as it has been for many others.

古老的树林。亲眼见证那些巨大的古树的生命周期,以及随着它们几十年来的成长、倒下、分解、再次成长,围绕着这些树木产生的生机勃勃、繁盛到难以置信的生态系统,会让你感到一种谦卑。在塔斯马尼亚摇篮山徒步旅行的一个星期改变了我的人生,也改变了很多其他人的人生。

I went to Washington state in 2021 and went to Mt. Rainier and Olympic National Parks. Truly an amazing experience. Washington is the first place away from home that I truly felt at home. Gorgeous. Walking through the rainforest in Olympic was crazy. Everything was just bright green. Like the sun itself was bright green.

2021年我去了华盛顿州的瑞尼尔山和奥利匹克国家公园。真的是非常难忘的经历。华盛顿州是除了我的家乡之外,第一个让我感到像是回家一样的地方。太美了。在奥利匹克国家公园的雨林中行走很棒。一切都是明亮的绿色。就好像太阳也变成了明亮的绿色一样。

I can't wait to go back.

我等不及再去一次了。

This right here.

很对。

Recently, I went to the grocery store and there was a homeless person at the entrance who had asked for spare change to get some food from the couple in front of me.

就在最近,我去逛超市的时候在入口遇见了一个无家可归的人,他当时在向我前面的一对夫妇乞讨零钱,好让他能买点吃的。

I wasn't asked by the man because he was busy with the couple. But I didn't forget while I shopped. I picked up one of those fried chicken plates (8 pieces of chicken) and a bottle of water.

他没有来问我,因为他在忙着和那对夫妇交谈。但我买东西的时候也没把他给忘了。我买了一份炸鸡(8块鸡肉)和一瓶水。

As I walked out, I handed the chicken and water to the man. His eyes lit up and he was clearly gleeful. He thanked me and gave me a hug.

在我往外走的时候,我把鸡肉和水递给了那个男人。他的眼睛一下子就有了光芒,看上去特别开心。他感谢了我,并且给了我一个拥抱。

As I pulled out of the parking lot, I looked in my rearview and saw him doing a little happy dance! He was so happy for that meal.

我从停车场开车离开的时候,从后视镜看见他在开心地跳舞!那顿饭让他太开心了。

Now, I'm without a job or really any income so to spare $8 to help this guy out wasn't really in my budget. I have no regrets though. His little dance showed me that he truly was happy that he was able to eat that night.

虽然我自己也没有工作和什么收入,给这个兄弟花8美元真的不在我的预算之内,但是我一点也不感到后悔。他的那支舞告诉我他真的为那天晚上能够吃一顿饭感到开心。

I'll never forget it.

我一辈子也忘不了。

Northern lights

极光

skaosowpwnw
Yes this !!! Not just little green ones, full on solar storm, fast moving, buzzing sound, colourful, northern lights ! I cried when I first saw them and I’m glad I live north enough to witness them !

没错!!不只是绿色的小不点,而是在太阳风期间达到全盛的,移动飞快,发出滋滋的声音,丰富多彩的极光!我第一次见到的时候都哭了出来,真高兴我住得足够往北,所以我能见证极光!

They make a sound?

极光有声音吗?

skaosowpwnw
Yes it’s like a humming/buzzing noise!

有的,像嗡鸣声或是滋滋声!

augos
Lol it's funny you say that, I hear it as well and so many people deny it. Even in the middle of nowhere, it's like a faint crackle almost.

哈哈哈你说到这点也挺有趣的,因为我自己也听见过,但是很多人却否认这件事。就算是在空无一人的旷野,听起来也像是非常细微的毕剥声。

And anywhere with above ground power lines, they start to make sounds like they're about to arc down on you lol

而且只要是有输电线的高处,极光就会发出那种好像要来一道电弧电死你的声音哈哈哈

skaosowpwnw
Scientists have actually been able to capture the sound. I heard it when I was aurora chasing and left the city into the middle of nowhere where there wasn’t as much light pollution and the air was still and silent. When the aurora came, you could hear it whooshing over you and crackle when the green would break into purples and pinks.

科学家已经捕捉到了这种声音。我第一次听到是在追逐极光的时候,离开了城市开到了荒郊野岭,那里没有光污染,空气也停滞而安静。当极光到来的时候,你可以听到它在你头顶发出呜呜的声音,并且当绿色变成紫色和粉色的时候会发出爆裂声。

Making something with your own hands. Could be art, could be a fire, could be a carving or a tool or clay or a shelter in the woods. Creating something that came from you, and you alone is a rewarding experience and gives one a true sense of pride. Just using your own hands and some tools to make something out of nothing makes me feel grounded, connected, and away from my troubles for a bit.

亲手制造一些东西。可以是艺术品,可以是一堆篝火,可以是雕刻,或是工具,或是泥塑,或是森林中的一个庇护所。创造一个来自你自己的东西,你自己所经历的这一过程本身就很有成就感,并且能给你真正的自豪感。光是用自己的双手和一些工具,从无到有地制作一些东西,就能让我觉得脚踏实地,和现实生活产生了连接,并且稍微离开了我的烦恼。

I can relate to this but with cooking. Took some spare time to look up new recipes, watch some professional chefs cook. Taking what I been learning and applying it to new meals, and having them turn out great is an awesome feeling.

我可以理解你的这种想法,但我喜欢的是烹饪。花了一点闲暇时间寻找新的菜单,学了专业的厨师烹饪的方法。把自己所学到的东西应用到了新的菜品里,最终尝起来非常不错,这种感觉太棒了。

Being debt free.

Honestly I have to think about this more often, throughout all the bullshit, anxiety and depression and high rent at least I'm not over my head in debt.

说真的我最近经常会想起这件事,尽管我经历了种种糟心事,焦虑,抑郁和高昂的房租,但至少我没有被债务困住。

As someone who comes from a country with a lot of mountains and hills, I would highly recommend going trekking to places accessible only by foot. It's really nice to see the untouched,peaceful nature existing there, without humans to ruin it.

作为一个来自多山之国的人,我强力推荐大家去那些只能靠双脚才能抵达的地方。能够在那里看到未经人类染指的,平静的自然,真的很不错。

Yeah, people can really ruin stuff. There was this place I used to go where there was a ranger station on top of a mountain. You could climb up to it when it wasn't being used. There was a full 360 degree view of the forest. Absolutely breathtaking. Then one year, I took the long drive out there, and it was completely vandalized and shot up. All the windows broken, the furniture inside thrown out, graffiti and empty beer bottles all over. It made me sick to see. The next time I went up there, there was a locked gate with a guard at the bottom of the road leading up to it. Those jerks made it impossible for anybody to ever go up there again.

没错,人类真的很擅长把东西毁了。以前我有个很喜欢去的地方,那是一座山顶的一个护林员站点。没人用的时候,你就可以爬上去。上面有360度的森林景色,真的美到令人窒息。然后有一年,我开着车走了好远的路去那里,发现那里被彻底毁了。所有的窗户都破了,里面的家具都被扔了出来,到处是涂鸦和空啤酒瓶。我看着都觉得恶心。下一次我再过去的时候,通往那里的道路就多了一道锁着的大门和一个看门的保安。那帮混蛋搞得谁也不能再上去看风景了。

LVII
The feeling you get when you are completely eclipsed by a landscape, skyscape, or even a city sometimes.

当你完全被陆地和天空的景致,甚至城市的景色吞没的时候。

The feeling of joy that comes with recognizing how small you are in the grand scheme of the world is priceless and I wish I could experience the wonder and awe that come along with it a million times over.

当你意识到自己在这个宏大的世界之中究竟有多么渺小的时候感到的快乐是无价的,我真希望自己能够再体验这种感觉无数次。

It's in Redwood and Sequoia forest, the entirety of Alaska, the desert sky in New Mexico at night; it's New York City when you step out of the subway for the first time.

那种感受是红杉林,是阿拉斯加州,是新墨西哥州沙漠中的夜晚,是你第一次从纽约市的地铁里走出来那一刻带给你的。

Being in the middle of the ocean on a giant ship and knowing that it expands farther than you would ever hope to comprehend (beyond some measurements on Wikipedia).

站在一条航行在海洋正中央的大船上,并且知道这片大海远比你能理解的还要广远(超过维基百科上的一些数字)

You and the earth, alone together.

只有你和地球,孤独地共处。

The night sky without light pollution. Nothing has ever made me feel so connected to life than gazing into that black ocean.

没有光污染的夜空。世上还没有什么东西比起让我凝视那片黑色的海洋更让我感到与世间万物相连接的。

lasco10
This is amazing. I’ve had nights where I just wanted to get away. I’d hop in my boat, head like 20 miles offshore and just Float around for a bit. It is amazing to look up at the night sky with absolutely no light pollution.

这真的非常棒。有很多个晚上,我只想逃走。我会跳上自己的船,航向20英里外的海中,然后就那么漂一会儿。看着完全没有任何光污染的天空,真的非常棒。

PurpleVermeer
This... when I go to my rural hometown I sometimes spend the entire night staring at the sky, it is just so damn beautiful... sad that most people can't enjoy that :(

没错……我回到乡下的老家的时候,有时就会一整晚都盯着天空看,因为真的太他妈美了……一想到很多人都没法享受这一点我就很难过。

Another culture. It really opens your eyes and broadens your horizons to experience another culture. There's a lot to learn about the world.

另一个文化。体验另一个文化,真的能让你大开眼界,打开你的格局。这个世界值得了解的东西非常多。

NoisyTummy
Also the embarrassment and difficulty of speaking another language.

还有说另一门语言时的尴尬和困难。

The hatred that people get over their accents is absurd. A good natured laugh over a funny-sounding word? Sure. Treating others as less than dirt for being more knowledgeable than you and knowing two or more languages? Stupid to say the least.

人们因为自己的口音而遭受的仇恨真的很没有理由。为一个发音好笑的单词而会心一笑?没问题。只是多懂几门语言就像看待垃圾一样看待别人?往少了说是蠢。

Idiot_Savant_Tinker
If someone is speaking broken English, I figure they know at least one language I don't.

Love.

爱。

And here I don't mean romantic love, but just love. Be it from a pet, a brother, friend or even a partner.

不止是浪漫的爱,是广义上的爱。不论是来自宠物,兄弟,朋友还是伙伴。

Sonder would be another good addition.

过客感也是不错的补充。

a_singular_fish
Yeah I agree with this, I hear romantic love is great but honestly the love of a pet makes you feel so special. Especially with a cat when you get to watch them from hating all people to trusting you enough to doze off in your lap. It just makes you feel so loved

没错我完全同意。我听说爱情很棒,但是说真的,宠物对你的爱会让你觉得非常特别。尤其是当你的猫从谁都看不惯到非常信任你,愿意在你的大腿上打盹的时候。这真的会让你感受到爱。

A full solar eclipse. It is one of the most unnatural things I have experienced and can understand why people for millenia have assigned supernatural attributes to it. I was watching it from beside a lake - the slow crescendo of crickets chirping as the sun turned purple and then suddenly turned into night gave me chills. Nothing has ever made me feel smaller and at the mercy of celestial bodies than that experience.

一次日全食。那是我经历过的最不自然的事情,我也能理解为什么千百年来人们都会把超自然的事情和日全食联系起来。我是在湖边观看的——随着太阳逐渐变紫,然后突然变成黑夜,身边蟋蟀缓慢的合唱让我浑身起鸡皮疙瘩。只有这种经历让我觉得自己是如此渺小,自己的命运完全受到星辰的主宰。

Insanebrain247
I remember feeling the air get much colder as the sun was blocked out and my brain was struggling to not say it was nighttime. It was surreal.

我记得在太阳被完全挡住之后空气都变得更冷了,我的脑子花了很大力气说服自己当时不是晚上。太不真实了。

There was one I saw in the 90's. I didn't have a science class that year so I didn't have a field trip permission to go outside, but my orchestra teacher said screw it and sent us out.

我90年代见过一次。那年我们没有科学课,所以我们没有出去野外调查的允许。但是我的交响乐课老师说去他妈的吧,然后就把我们都带出去了。

I was surprised that it got cooler, like worse than just clouds.

让我惊讶的是天气会变凉,比多云的时候还要凉。

Teachers who’d keep students in during a solar eclipse aren’t/shouldn’t be teachers. Really. It’s not like there’s many chances to see it again. Especially for low income students or people who won’t be able to travel (chase the eclipse so to say). it’s once in multi-life event.

那些在日食的时候把孩子都关在教室里的老师就不配当老师。真的,这辈子没有那么多的机会再看一遍日食的。尤其是对那些家庭收入低的孩子,或者是那些没有能力旅行(比如追逐日食)的学生来说,那可是几辈子才能遇见一次的事情。

My parents specifically called the school to ask if they will allow us to be outside to view it. They said “no”, so they just had us skip school that day.

我的父母特地给学校打了电话,问他们会不会让我们出去看日食。他们说“不行”于是我爸妈就给我们请了个假。

Financial security. I do believe that though money can’t bring happiness, when you don’t have it, it can absolutely hinder it greatly.

财务自由。我确实相信金钱买不来幸福,但是当你没有金钱的时候,它也会阻挡你获得幸福。

misterwhite999
Money isn't everything until you have none.

钱不是一切,除非你没有钱。

BlueShift42
The phrase, “money can’t buy happiness.” Is meant to apply to people who have already reached financial security and then some. To those people, more money wont bring more happiness. They’ve already achieved what it can bring.

“钱买不来幸福”这句话只适用于那些已经有了财务保障还有富余的人。对于那些人来说,更多的金钱确实买不来更多的幸福,他们已经有了金钱能给他们带来的一切幸福。

The phrase was never meant to be used as it is today where it’s told to a person living paycheck to paycheck, implying that they should find happiness within their struggle to keep afloat. No. Money for someone in that situation will certainly buy some happiness. Once they can sustain the income, then there are other paths to happiness as more money won’t bring more happiness and being able to pay your bills becomes normal and boring.

但这句话放到今天去对那些要靠一个工资单接一个工资单勉强度日的人说,暗示他们应该从自己求生的挣扎中找到幸福。不可能。对于处在这种景况下的人来说,金钱绝对能买来幸福。只要他们能够维持基本的收入,那么就会有其他通往幸福的道路,因为更多的金钱带不来更多的幸福,而有能力付账单也会变成稀松平常、让你无聊的事情。

I read this on reddit and the person who wrote this was spot on. They said, "Money can't buy happiness but poverty can't buy anything."

Failure, and I don’t mean this in a bad way. But I feel like most, if not all the progress/growth I’ve made so far in life has been as a direct result of failure.

失败。不是糟糕的那种失败。但是我觉得我这辈子的绝大多数,甚至全部的进步和成长,都是失败的直接原因。

andersenWilde
To be successful is the result of good choices. Good choices are the result of experience. Experience is the result of poor choices.

成功是良好选择的结果。良好选择是经历的结果。而经历是糟糕的选择的结果。

Edit: Of course you have to learn form your mistakes, if you keep doing the same, don't expect different results.

编辑:你当然得从过去的失败中吸取经验。如果你总是重复同一件事,那就不要期待不同的结局。

Also, I know this is overly simplistic, it is Reddit, not an Emerson's essay.

还有,我知道这说得太简单了。但这是reddit,不是艾默生的散文。

This is a good one. It's a lesson I'm struggling with teaching my son, who gets very upset when he isn't immediately good at something.

说得很好。我现在就很想把这个教训教给我儿子,他如果不能立刻就精通某件事情的话就会特别生气。

Virtually every success is the result of a ton of failure.

实际上所有的成功都是建立在大量的失败的基础上的。

Seeing the stars far away from any ambient light. Where you can see the Milky Way and a steady stream of shooting stars. It’s awe inspiring, and changes your perspective about your place in the universe.

在远离所有环境光的地方看星星。找到一个能够看见银河和不停划过的流星的地方。能给你带来震撼,并且也能改变你对于自己在宇宙中的位置的看法。

Eating out alone, going to a concert alone, just experiencing doing things by yourself. Especially while young, learning to be comfortable with yourself as your only company while enjoying beautiful things in life is so freeing.

一个人出去吃饭,一个人去音乐会,体验一个人做事情的感觉。尤其是在年轻的时候,学会在只有自己陪伴的情况下享受生命中的美好也能感到舒适,这很让人解脱。

This should have more up votes. I just got back back from vacation (solo) and while i was there a guy commented and said, “i admire your confidence to travel by yourself” i always think comments like that are interesting, what should we do, only travel or do things in pairs? I’ve been single (never married) most of my life, if i waited for someone to come along before I saw the world i might not see it at all so i 100% agree with you. I think being able to enjoy your own company is an amazing thing and something not everyone can do in all settings.

这条应该有更多的点赞。我刚结束一场假期(一个人),我在度假的时候,有个人说“我钦佩你独自旅行的勇气。”我一直觉得这种评价挺有意思的,那不然呢,旅行或者做别的事情都要成双成对吗?我这辈子(从没结婚)几乎都是单身,如果我非得等一个人陪我再去一起见识世界的话,那我可能就什么都见不到了,所以我100%同意你的观点。我觉得能够享受自己的陪伴是很棒的,也是并非所有人都能在任何情况下做到的。

ImRudeWhenImDrunk
Can I ask you an honest question?

我能认真地问你一个问题吗?

How do you do this? I don't mean "travel alone". I mean enjoy travelling alone. How do you do that?

你是怎么做到的?我指的不是“一个人旅行”,而是“享受一个人旅行”。你是怎么做到的?

I've done trips, events, concerts, etc. alone several times and I've never really had a good time. Like you said, there were shows/artists I really wanted to see and places I really wanted to go, and I wasn't gonna let being alone stop me, so I did them anyways. And while none of them were "bad" times, I can't really say I enjoyed myself - especially compared to doing such things with friends or a significant other.

我一个人做过旅行,节日,音乐会等等很多事情,但我从来都没真正地享受过。就像你说的,总有一些表演和艺术家是我真的特别想去看的,也有一些地方是我真的想去的,我也不想让独身一人成为阻止我的原因,所以我还是去了。但是虽然这些经历都不算“糟糕”我也不能说给我带来了享受——尤其是和与朋友或是重要的另一半一起做同样的事情相比。

S_balmore
I think the issue might be that you don't actually like 'traveling' as much as you like the experience of sharing a moment with someone. I'm this way. Sure, I enjoy a good vacation, but I enjoy eating a meal with someone just the same whether it's in my backyard or in Rome.

我觉得问题或许在于,你喜欢的并不是“旅行”,而是与某人分享经历。我懂你。没错,我喜欢快乐的假日,但是和别人一起吃饭的话,那我在自己家后花园和在罗马没有什么区别。

There are some things that I actually like, and might even prefer, doing alone, such as fishing, biking, and exercising. But I would never go to a theme park alone, because it's not the rides that I remember most fondly; it's always the quality time that I spent with whoever I was there with.

有一些事情是我真的喜欢,甚至更倾向于自己做的,比如钓鱼,汽车和锻炼。但是我永远也不会自己一个人去主题公园,因为让我最难忘的绝对不会是坐过山车的经历,而是和与我同行的人一起度过的高质量的时间的经历。

So my suggestion is to find things that you actually like doing alone - Things that you would do even if you weren't on a tropical island. And my second suggestion is to try releasing your inhibitions and be more outgoing. I know that's not easy, but I know that many solo travelers are the type of people who come back from a week long trip having made 3 new life-long friends. They don't actually do anything alone. They get on the plane alone, and that's when they start making new friends.

所以我的建议是找到一个你真的喜欢自己一个人做的事——那些就算你没有被扔到一个热带荒岛上,也会做的事。我的第二个建议就是尝试释放你的内向特质,更外向一点。我知道这不容易,但是我也知道有很多独自旅行的人都是那种旅行一个星期回来之后,就又交了三个终生朋友的人。他们其实做任何事情都不是一个人做。他们只是一个人上飞机而已,但从那时起他们就开始交新朋友了。

Being the “dumb one”. For some people, they’re never really challenged academically/intellectually and I think that’s a shame. Being the dumbest person in a group of smart people means you have the opportunity to learn from them. It’s also very humbling (in a good way).

做那个“笨蛋”。对某些人而言,他们这辈子也没有在学术上或者智力上受到过挑战,我觉得这很遗憾。在一群聪明人里当那个最笨的,意味着你有机会从他们的身上学习。而且也让你谦逊(以一种好的方式)。

A lot of people don’t experience this until college, or in grad school, or in their professional environment… and then they’re totally wrecked by it. But it’s also such an important experience. Being a “big fish in a small pond” can be beneficial, but don’t avoid challenges either… I truly think you learn more being a small fish in a big pond.

很多人可能直到上大学,或者读研究生,或者进入职场环境之后才遇到这种经历,然后他们就彻底被这种经历给毁了。但是这也是一种非常重要的经历。当鸡头固然会有好处,但是也不要逃避挑战……我真的觉得如果你当的是凤尾,那么你会学到更多。

My thought’s exactly. Went to a big engineering school and day one of orientation they were like “You’re not special here. Everyone here was top of the class in high school. Be prepared to be average.” And damn were they right.

完全就是我的想法。我去一个很厉害的工程学院上学,破冰的第一天他们就说“你不是这里最特殊的。这里的每个人高中时都是尖子。准备好当个普通人吧。”妈的他们说的真对。

Engineering school: where everyone in your class is smarter than you except the 3 people in your group project.

工程学院:一个班上除了那三个和你一起做小组作业的人之外,所有人都比你聪明的地方。
