Talking Your Fun Every Day as You Do Your Work用快乐装点生活Ten things are necessary for happiness in this life. The first being a good digestion, and the other nine—money; so at least it is said by our modern philosophers. Yet the author of A Gentle Life speaks more truly in saying that the Divine creation includes thousands of superfluous joys which are totally unnecessary to the bare support of life.要满足幸福生活，就必须具备十个条件。第一是要有良好的消化能力，其他九个无一例外都是——金钱。最起码当代的哲学家都是这样说的。不过，《温柔的生活》的作者却有着更为现实的看法，他说这种神圣产物中蕴含这不计其数的多余快乐，如果一个人对生活毫无所求的话，这些欢乐是根本没有必要的。He alone is the happy man who has learned to extract happiness—not from ideal conditions, but from the actual ones about him.

Men must, like Philip Amour, turn the key on business when they leave it, and at once unlock the doors of some wholesome recreation. Dr. Lyman Beecher used to divert himself with a violin. He had a regular system of what he called “unwinding”, thus relieving the great strain put upon him.人们应该在工作时间之后放松精神，而不是在工作时间之内。人们应该以菲利普·阿穆尔为榜样，在完成工作时，就丢开钥匙，并马上打开一扇有益于健康的娱乐大门。莱曼·比彻博士经常利用一把小提琴来调节自己的心情。他有一套不变的、并被他成为“解缚”的系统，以此来消除自己的紧张感。“A man,” says Dr. Johnson, “should spend part of his time with the laughers.”约翰逊博士建议：“一个人应当多花一些时间来欢笑。”Humor was Lincoln’s life-preserver, as it has been of thousands of others, “if it were not for this,” he used to say, “I should die.” His jests and quaint stories lighted the gloom of dark
