Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen) 請愛用防曬油
作者: 巴茲魯曼
如果我只能給你們的未來一個建議、 那我的建議是: 多擦防曬油。
防曬油的好處已經被科學界所證明、 而我其他的建議也都是根據我自己的經歷而來。
我將在此細述這些建議。
享受青春帶來的活力與美貌；
噢、 當我沒說； 只有當你的青春消逝時才會體會到年輕的可貴。
但是、 相信我。 二十年後你回頭翻開相簿、 你將會從不同角度想起往事。
想到當年你的機會無限、 年輕貌美.....
你並不像你想像中的那麼胖。
別擔心未來； 等一下、 還是得擔心。
但你得了解到擔心帶來的成效就像你試著用嚼口香糖來解決代數問題一樣。
真正的麻煩你其實想都想不到、 忽然而來衝擊著你悠閒的下午。
每天挑戰一件你害怕的事。
唱唱歌。
別粗野的對人、 也別用全部精力在粗魯對你的傢伙。
請用牙線剔牙。
別浪費你的時間在忌妒上。 有時你超越人家、 有時你落後、
人生競賽是很長的， 到了最後、 你也只有跟自己比。
記著你獲得的肯定、 忘記那些辱罵。 如果你做得到的話、 請教教我。
留著你的舊情書、 丟掉你的舊銀行結單。
活動你的筋骨。
別因為不知道將來人生要作啥而抱持罪惡感。
我遇過很多有趣的人二十二歲時都不知道人生往後要作什麼。
有些更有趣的人四十歲時還是不知道人生要作什麼。
多攝取鈣質。
多照顧自己的膝蓋。 當它們不敷使用時你會想念它們。
也許你將來會結婚生子、 也許你不會。
也許你在四十歲時離婚、 也許你會在你七十五歲結婚紀念日派對上耍寶。
不管怎樣、 別感到太慶幸或太失望。
你的選擇會產生一半的可能性、 別人也是一樣。 享受你的身體、 多善用它。
別有所畏懼、別在乎他人眼光、 因為身體是你所擁有最棒的工具。
跳跳舞、 就算沒地方跳也可以在自己房間跳。
請閱讀說明書跟指示牌、 就算你不會去遵守它。
千萬不要讀時尚雜誌、 那只會讓你覺得自己很醜。
試著多了解你的父母、 你不知道哪時他們會離你而去。
對你的兄弟姊妹好一點 。他們最了解你的過去、也最有可能在未來跟你最親近。
朋友來去無常、 只有一些珍貴的友誼會留下。
你很難在不同地方不同生活方式裡搭起友誼橋樑、
因為活的越老、 越會需要童年時的朋友。
去紐約住一陣子、 但在變冷漠前搬走。
去北加州住一陣子、 但在心神鬆懶前搬走。
多去旅行。
面對一些不變的事實吧！ 物價會上漲、 政客會耍詐、 你會變老。
當你明白這些道理時你將會懷念起從前、
當物價還合理時、 政客還老實時、
還有從前的小孩會尊敬老人家時。
請尊敬老人家。
別妄想有人會養你。
也許你有信託基金、 也許你的另一半很有錢、
但是你永遠不知道哪一個會先用完。
別太在乎你的頭髮。
別太擔心你四十歲時會看起來像八十五歲老人。
請謹慎採納別人的建議
但是、 請有耐心的把別人的建議聽完。
薦言是一种懷舊情懷、 放出的時候像從垃圾堆裡打撈出來、擦乾淨
再把醜惡的一面刷上鲜艳顏色，然後用高價回收重新利用。
但是、 請相信我、 多擦防曬油。

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours.
Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with
yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own..
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good.
Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen…
