如是說999

In two days, in the country in which this channel resides, a holiday called Thanksgiving will be observed. On this day each year, it is customary for you to gather for a feast, share with family and friends, and even perhaps spend a few moments pondering your blessings and giving thanks for them – my car, my house, my health, my family, etc. Before you do this, may we give you a few other things you might think about.

再过两天，在这位管道居住的城市，一个称为感恩节的节日可以被观察到。在每年的这个时候，你们都会聚集到一起吃个饭，与家人和朋友分享，也许会花上几分钟来沉思你的祝福并感谢它们---我的汽车、我的房子、我的健康、我的家庭等等。在你这么做之前，容我们给予你一些其它的东西去思考一下

Usually, each of you direct your thanks to whatever or whomever you perceive to be the divine source in your life. And that is, of course, a very good thing to do. But we would suggest something further.

通常，你们每个人会去感谢你感到是你生活中神圣源头的东西或人。当然，这是好事。但我们会建议更深层面的东西

It is very likely that you have been the beneficiary of many of the following fellow beings during the past year, if not all of them. The most obvious are health workers, firefighters, etc. But it is also quite likely that someone has prepared food for you, so you did not have to. Someone else has served you that food. Someone has cleaned up after those meals, so you did not have to. Someone has removed the trash you created, so you did not have to. Someone has swept the streets, plowed the snow, filled the potholes, so you did not have to. Someone has driven a vehicle for you, a taxi, a bus, an airplane, a ship to fill your need. Someone has cleaned your hotel room, so you did not have to. The list could be exceedingly long.

很有可能在过去的一年你受益于许多同胞存在，如果不是他们所有人。最明显的就是医务人员、消防人员等等。但也很有可能是为你准备食物的人，这样你就不用去做。为你呈现食物的人。在饭后收拾的人，这样你就不用去做。帮你处理垃圾的人，这样你就不用去做。打扫街道、铲雪、填补凹坑的人，这样你就不用去做。为你驾驶交通工具的人（出租车、公交车、飞机、轮船）来满足你的需求。打扫你住的酒店房间的人，这样你就不用去做。列表可以是非常长的。

It is very possible that many of those people performed their service when they were ill, when they had a migraine headache, or when they were in the midst of a stressful situation.

很有可能许多执行着服务的人还生着病、头痛或处于高压的情况

So this Thanksgiving holiday perhaps give a moment’s thought to all of those people. Send them thanks. Send them love and appreciation. Never doubt for a moment that you will uplift each of them in some way when you do this.

所以，在这个感恩节，也许花点时间来思考所有这些人。感谢他们。发送他们爱和感激。永远不要怀疑，当你这么做，你会在某种程度上提升他们每个人

Let us here inject another thought. If everyone did this, you would be the recipient of much of this gratitude and love yourself. As you go through our daily activities, do you not do many things for others? Do you not often do them when you are not feeling your best? Each of you is dependent upon all of the rest of you. That is what makes your society possible.

让我们来注入另一个想法。如果每个人都这么做，你会成为大量感恩和爱的容器。因为随着你进行日常的活动，你难道没有替别人做很多事情吗？你难道没有在你感觉并不是最佳的时候去做这些事吗？每个人依靠着其他人。这让社会成为可能

So when you give thanks for what you have, do not forget those that produced it nor those that brought it to you. And realize also that you have done your own part. For that, we are grateful to you. We see what you have done, even when you have discounted or forgotten it.

所以当你感谢你所拥有的，不要忘了那些生产它的人或把它带给你的人。还要意识到你也做了你的那部分。为此，我们感谢你。我们看到你做了什么，即使当你忽视或忘记了它

So have a very wonderful day of thanks, and enjoy your family and friends. And if you should think of us for a moment, know we are with you.

所以祝你拥有一个美好的感恩节，享受你的家人与朋友。如果你想起我们，知晓我们与你在一起
