to 不定詞

One day, a group of friends very successful in their careers got together to visit their old university professor.

有一天，一群事業有成的朋友們聚在一起拜訪他們以前的教授。

過去簡單式

After a while, the conversation turned into complaints, all about stress and work and life.

過了一會兒，話題轉成了抱怨，全都是關於壓力、工作和生活。

委婉語氣表達希望、渴望

The professor, noticing the grumbles, asked if his guest would like a cup of coffee.

教授注意到他們的抱怨，便問客人們想不想來杯咖啡。

They agreed and the Professor Spencer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups, porcelain, glass, crystal and some plain looking, some expensive and some exquisite.

他們同意了，史賓賽教授去了廚房，拿著一壺咖啡和各式各樣的杯子回來，有瓷器、玻璃、水晶的，有些看起來很普通，有些很貴，有些則非常精緻。

He told them to help yourself to the coffee.

When all of the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, if you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.

當所有學生都拿到一杯咖啡後，教授說，如果你們注意到，所有看起來漂亮、貴的杯子都被拿走了，只剩下普通又便宜的。

While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

雖然你們只想要最好的給自己是很正常的，但這就是你們問題和壓力的來源。

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.

請放心，杯子本身並不會為咖啡增加任何品質。

In most cases it's just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.

在大多數情況下，它只是更貴，有些情況下甚至會掩蓋我們喝的東西。

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup.

你們真正想要的其實是咖啡，而不是杯子。

But you consciously went for the best cups and then began fighting each other over the cups.

但你們卻有意識地去拿最好的杯子，然後開始為了杯子互相爭搶。

The jobs, money, position in society are the cups.

工作、金錢、社會地位都是那些杯子。

They are just tools to hold and contain life.

它們只是用來盛裝人生的工具。

And the type of cup we have does not define nor change the quality of life we live.

而我們擁有什麼樣的杯子，並不會定義或改變我們生活的品質。

And by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee.

而我們只專注於杯子，就忘了品嚐咖啡。

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything.

最快樂的人不一定擁有一切最好的東西。

他們讓擁有的一切都變得最好。

So live simply, love generously, speak kindly and care deeply.

所以，要簡單地生活，慷慨地去愛，友善地去說話，並深刻地去關懷。
