Conversation two

对话2

W: We brought in a person to help us understand what regrets are all about.

W：我们请来了一个人来帮助我们理解遗憾是什么。

Reverend Sherri Hausser is an associate pastor in Pennsylvania. Nice to have you here.

雪莉豪瑟牧师是宾夕法尼亚州的副牧师。很高兴有你在这里。

M:Thank you.

M：谢谢。

W:We talked about this that everybody on the staff said we should do a segment about regrets. Why?

W：我们谈到这个，所有工作人员都说我们应该做一个关于遗憾的部分。为什么？

M:Regrets are amongst the most human things we have:this amazing invitation and opportunity to grow.

M：遗憾是我们拥有的最人性化的事物之一：这个令人惊叹的邀请和成长的机会。

W: But immediately you say regrets are positive, and most people don't think that way. Most people think that regrets are negative.

W：但是你立刻说后悔是积极的，大多数人不这么想。大多数人认为后悔是消极的。

M:Yeah，that's true. I think that the important thing about regret is not to repress it. I think it starts to bother us, and it inhibits us from acting if we don't acknowledge it.

M:是的，是的。我认为后悔最重要的是不要压抑它。我认为它开始困扰我们，如果我们不承认它，它就会阻止我们采取行动。

W:So you say,“OK,I’ve got a regret.All right.Here is what I did in a personal relationship. Here is what I said to a person and wished hadn't said it” Now, get off your butt,and change it.

W：所以你说，“好吧，我很后悔。好吧。这是我在私人关系中所做的。这是我对一个人说的话，希望没有说出来“现在，放下你的屁股，改变它。

So,if you made someone upset, you go and apologize. Is it as simple as that?

所以，如果你让别人不高兴，你就去道歉。就这么简单吗？

M:Well,sometimes it is as simple as that I mean,it depends again on what the regret is about.

M：嗯，有时候就像我的意思一样简单，这又取决于关于遗憾是什么。

You can't do anything about the past.But the regret is really about right now.

过去的事你无能为力，遗憾的是现在。

And sometimes that means I don't want to be in this relationship anymore, and I have to act that way,and that's a very serious thing, but it is not about the past.

有时这意味着我不想再处于这种关系中，我必须那样做，这是一件非常严肃的事情，但这与过去无关。

A regret is a yearning about the future, and a yearning to be more.

遗憾是对未来的向往，是对更多的向往。

W: What's the difference between regret and guilt?

W：后悔和内疚有什么区别？

M: I would say that guilt is something that we used to beat ourselves up with.

M：我会说内疚是我们用来打击自己的东西。

It's something that actually stalls us and keeps us from acting.Regret on the other hand, is really an opportunity toward action.

它实际上阻碍了我们并阻止我们采取行动。另一方面，后悔确实是一个采取行动的机会。

If we articulate it, then we're compelled to do something different about it.And it really is an opportunity.

如果我们清楚地表达出来，那么我们就不得不对此做一些不同的事情。这确实是一个机会。

W: What do you say to those who are out there living with regrets for years?

W：你对那些多年来一直生活在遗憾中的人有什么话要说？

M: I would say: you have to have a shift in perspective.

M：我会说：你必须转变视角。

The second of you feel that regret,you may think“Oh my God,an amazing opportunity right now, to grow,to develop, to discover something new about myself."

你们中的第二个人感到遗憾，您可能会想“哦，天哪，现在是一个绝佳的机会，可以成长，发展，发现自己的新事物。”

To be specific,I would say that the first thing you do is to identify it.

具体来说，我会说你做的第一件事就是识别它。

The second thing is that if it is something that is past,that you can’t reclaim in a certain way,you have to grieve it.

第二件事是，如果它是过去的东西，你无法以某种方式重新获得，你就必须为它悲伤。

The third thing is by grieving,you free yourself up to say:what can I do now? If it’s that I didn’t have a child, may be I can adopt one.

第三件事是悲伤，你放开自己说：我现在能做什么？如果是因为我没有孩子，也许我可以领养一个。

If I can't adopt, maybe I can engage the children in my life, my niece's, my nephew's other people's children.

如果我不能收养，也许我可以让我生活中的孩子参与进来，我侄女的，我侄子的其他人的孩子。

Volunteer with children.It's a way to really manifest part of ourselves that's been repressed and that we've wanted to inform.

与孩子一起做志愿者。这是一种真正展现我们自己被压抑的部分并且我们想要告知的方式。

W: I'm going to make that one the last word. I regret were out of time so thanks very much.

W：我要把那个作为最后一个词。很遗憾来不及了，非常感谢。

M: Glad to be here.

M：很高兴来到这里。
