Idiots.
傻瓜们。
The world is full of them. How hard it is for us, non-idiots, to put up with them. But to get our jobs done, our kids fed, and our pets groomed, we must deal with them.
全世界都有他们。对于我们这些非傻瓜而言,忍受他们真是太难啊。但是为了我们的工作能完成,孩子能被照顾,宠物能被看管,我们必须要面对他们。
Idiots come in many shapes, forms, and types, but the ones that frustrate me the most are those who don't believe in any form of mental illness. These creatures maintain that all mood disorders are cute, creative stories crafted by persons who enjoy obsessing, ruminating, and crying their eyes out... a wealthy bunch who can't think of anything better to do than come up with a make-believe tale about a few neurons wandering around the limbic system afraid to ask for directions, just like Moses.
傻瓜也有好多种样子,形式和种类的,但是最打击我的要数那些从不认为有任何精神病的人啊。这些人都以为情绪混乱是很可爱的,而且新鲜的故事是由那些喜欢沉迷,反复思考和痛哭成稀里哗啦的人们精心创造的......那是一群想象丰富的人,除了一些虚幻的神话他们想不出什么好的东西,好像一些漫无目的游走在大脑边缘系统的神经元,就像摩西神话。
We must tune out the idiots to achieve any kind of sanity or serenity. But how? Here are four ways that have worked for me.
我们必须要调整这些傻瓜能让他们保持理智或者清醒状态。但是怎么办呢?以下有四种我认为奏效的方法。
