小故事

"I heard you say 'I wish you enough' May I ask what that means?"
“我听到你说‘我希望你知足常乐，尽享人生’，那是什么意思？”
He began to smile. "That is a wish that has been handed down through the generations. My parents used to say it to everyone."
他露出微笑。“那个愿望是我们家代代相传的。我的父母过去常对每个人说。”
The man paused a moment, then looked up, as if trying to remember the details.

"When we say I wish you enough, we want the other persons to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them."
“我们对人们说知足常乐，尽享人生，就是希望对方的生活里充满幸事，支撑他们走下去。”
He then turned to me and shared the following, as if he were reciting it from memory:

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
