Gratitude

◎供稿：胡天豪

We are supposed to express ourgratitude［感激］to others on Thanksgiving Day. However, we should feel gratitude every day.

God has two dwellings, one in heaven, and the other in a thankful heart. Be grateful to others is a way to show your love. In our daily life,we often receive help from our parents, friends,colleagues［同事］and strangers. Perhaps it is a little thing, pick up the pen you drop, lift a heavy box for you or offer you a seat in the bus. We should be thankful to them for whatever they have done. The more love you give, the more love you receive.

A sense of gratitude canacknowledging［接受，承認］ourinterdependent existence［相互依存］. You will be ready to help others if you have a thankful heart. Therefore, a thankful heart is like a magnet. Not only will we attract more things to be grateful for, but also we will attract gratitude from others.

參考譯文

感恩節我們應該向他人表達我們的感激之情。然而，我們應該每天都感到感激。

上帝有兩個住所，一個在天堂，另一個在感恩的心中。感激他人是表達你愛的一種方式。在我們的日常生活中，我們經常得到父母、朋友、同事和陌生人的幫助。也許這是一件小事，幫你撿起掉落的筆，給你舉一個沉重的盒子，或者在公共汽車上讓給你一個座位。我們應該感謝他們所做的一切。你給予的愛越多，你得到的愛就越多。

感恩意識可以提示我們相互依存。如果你有一顆感恩的心，你會樂于幫助別人。因此，感恩的心就像一塊磁鐵。我們不僅會吸引更多值得感激的東西，還會吸引其他人的感激。

感恩就是天堂本身。對他人的感激和負債感是慷慨和善良生活的重要源泉。我們現在往往陷入忙碌的生活，忽略了對細節、大自然的美麗、現代生活的舒適、父母的愛等的感激。人們帶著一顆感恩的心就可以注意到這些細節，體會我們生活中的友誼、愛和幸福。
