介绍:
There’s this thing I used to do, when I was a kid to my mom’s VCR. I’d take it apart piece by piece, then put it back together again. But inevitably, there was always a piece or two left over, something I didn’t quite know what to do with. So what do you do with that piece? Do you try to fit it back in? Do you try to make it work? Or do you decide you can live without that missing piece?
儿时的我，经常捯饬母亲的录像机。我把它们一点点拆分，然后从新安装起来。但难以避免，总会剩下一两块儿，无法重新装回去。那么，多余的部件怎么办呢？试图重新装回去？还是先看看能不能用？还是放弃那个部件？
When we go without certain things for long enough, it’s easy to forget. Just how much we need them. We forget what we had once. We forget what it’s like to live with a thing, not that we need, but that we want. That’s why it’s so important for us to remind ourselves, for us to remember. Just because we can live without something, it doesn’t mean we have to.
当我们长时间失去某些东西的时候，很容易忘记我们有多需要它。忘记了曾经拥有过。忘记了拥有的时候是怎样的感受，不需要拥有，但是渴求。所以提醒我们自己去记住，这很重要。没有某些东西我们一样可以生活。但我们却不必这样生活。
