39. On Recreation

论娱乐

It is impossible for us to keep fit unless we often take part in activities of recreation. One can not work well if he can not make an active recreation.

如果我们不参加各种娱乐活动的话，要保持身体健康是不可能的。一个不会娱乐的人必定不会很好地工作的。

There are various kinds of games in our daily life after study. Many people like working and working, because in their mind working is the most important thing. But we usually sit too long in our classroom, and our eyes and brain will be easy to get tired even when listening to music, watching TV or going to the cinema. So I think we had better have more outdoor activities to supply our muscles with exercise. For example, it is a good idea to play basketball, football, table tennis, go swimming and do some running, even go for a picnic.

工作之余，我们可以参加各种各样的活动。许多人喜欢学习学习再学习，因为他们认为学习是最重要的事。但是这样的话，我们就在教室里坐得时间过久，我们的眼睛和大脑都很容易疲劳，即使听音乐，看电视或者看电影。因此我认为我们最好多参加户外活动，以使我们的肌肉得到锻炼。比如说，打篮球、踢足球、打乒乓球、游泳、跑步等等都不失为好主意，甚至去野餐也可以呀。

Our brain also needs changes to make it smart and active. Please bear the old saying in mind, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Only by taking entertainment, can one have a wonderful life.

我们的大脑需要经常调剂才能保持灵敏、活跃。请牢牢记住那句古老的谚语“只学习不玩乐聪明的孩子也变傻”。只有适度娱乐，一个人才能有很棒的生活。
