有人说,幸福是一种感觉,不知足永不会幸福,因此要学会“知足常乐”。
“知足常乐”,汉语成语,意思是知道满足,就总是快乐(A man who is contented will be happy),形容对已经取得的成就感到满足并取得快乐。与英文谚语“a contented mind is a perpetual feast”意思相近,表示“If you are mentally at peace, you will always feel that you have enough of everything, and will not have to strive to get more”。
- - A: 莉莲挣的钱不多,但她似乎一直很快乐。我想知道她是怎么做到的?
- A: Lillian doesn't make very much money, but she seems to be happy all the time. I wonder how she manages that?
- B: 知足常乐。
- B: A contented mind is a perpetual feast.
