●Birth And Death
生与死
●When you cry and weep, when you are miserable, you are alone. When you celebrate, the whole existence participates with you. Only in celebration do we meet the ultimate, the eternal. Only in celebration do we go beyond the circle of birth and death. 当你哭泣、当你痛苦时，你是孤独的。当你庆祝时，整个存在都会与你一起参与。只有在庆祝中，我们才能遇到终极、永恒。只有在庆祝中，我们才能超越生死轮回。
●There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. 生与死之间没有治愈的方法，只能享受其间。
●Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state. 生与死并不是两种不同的状态，而是同一种状态的不同方面。
●Birth and death; we all move between these two unknowns. 生与死；我们都在这两个未知之间徘徊。
●Everything passes. Everything experiences the birth and death cycle.
一切都会过去。一切都会经历生死轮回。
●Birth and death were easy. It was life that was hard. 生与死都很容易，但生活才是艰难的。
●The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death. 人类生活中的主要事实有五个：出生，饮食，睡眠，爱和死亡。
●I've learned to accept birth and death . . . but sometimes I still worry about what lies between. 我已经学会接受生与死……但有时我仍会担心生与死之间会发生什么。
●Birth and death are the most singular events we experience - and the contemplation of death, as of birth, should be a thing of beauty, not ignobility. 生与死是我们经历的最奇特的事件——对死亡的思考，如同对出生的思考一样，应该是一件美丽的事情，而不是卑鄙的。
●The two moments are much alike: birth and death are made of the same fabric.这两个时刻非常相似：生与死是由同一种物质构成的。
●'The story of my recent life.' I like that phrase. It makes more sense than 'the story of my life', because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality- and in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization. “我最近的生活故事。”我喜欢这个短语。它比“我的生活故事”更有意义，因为在生与死之间，我们经历了许多次生命。一次是孩童时代。一次是成年时代。一次是流浪、定居、坠入爱河、做父母、考验我们的承诺、实现我们的死亡——在一些幸运的情况下，在实现这一目标之后做一些事情。
●Life is like a very short visit to a toy shop between birth and death. Neither can you buy all toys nor bring all toys to home - ground. 人生就像生与死之间，一次非常短暂的玩具店之旅。你不可能买下所有的玩具，也不能把所有的玩具都带回家。
●I had seen birth and death but had thought they were different. 我曾见过生与死，但一直认为它们是不同的。
● After your death you will be what you were before your birth. 你死后会和你出生前一样。
●By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return. 你必汗流满面才得糊口，直到你归了土，因为你是从土而出的；你本是尘土，仍要归于尘土。
●Birth and Death are the two noblest expressions of bravery. 生与死是勇气的两种最崇高的表现。
●This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky, Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.
我们这一生，如秋云般短暂，观生死犹如观舞，一生如天上一道闪电，如急流直下险峻山峰，转瞬即逝。
●These births and deaths are changes in nature which we are mistaking for changes in us. 这些生与死是大自然的变化，而我们却误以为是我们自身的变化。
●From contact comes feeling. From feeling comes reaction. This is what keeps us in the cycle of birth and death. Our reactions to our feelings are our passport to rebirth. 接触产生感受，感受产生反应。这就是我们生死轮回的原因。我们对感受的反应是我们重生的护照。
●Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other. 生活就是所有对立价值的共存。欢乐与悲伤、快乐与痛苦、起起落落、热与冷、这里与那里、光明与黑暗、生与死。所有的经历都是对比，没有一个就没有另一个。
●It is in the middle that human choices are made; the beginning and the end remain with God. The decrees of God are birth and death, and in between those limits man makes his own distress or joy. 人类的选择就处于中间阶段；开始和结束都由上帝决定。上帝的旨意是生与死，而人类在这两个界限之间制造自己的痛苦或欢乐。
●Opening to the power of intention, you begin knowing that conception, birth and death are all natural aspects of the energy field of creation. 开启意图的力量，你就会开始知道受孕、出生和死亡都是创造能量场的自然方面。
●Birth and death are illusions, they are part of the dream. 生与死都是幻象，是梦的一部分。
●It is better to spend one day contemplating the birth and death of all things than a hundred years never contemplating beginnings and endings.宁可用一日时间思考万物的生与死，莫用百年时间不思考万物的始与终。
●He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world. 他的出生和死亡都没有被世人注意过，他的一生并不算糟糕。
●Without birth and death, and without the perpetual transmutation of all the forms of life, the world would be static, rhythm-less, undancing, mummified. 如果没有生与死，如果没有一切生命形式的不断变化，世界就会是静止的、无节奏的、没有舞动的、木乃伊化的。
●When you cry and weep, when you are miserable, you are alone. When you celebrate, the whole existence participates with you. Only in celebration do we meet the ultimate, the eternal. Only in celebration do we go beyond the circle of birth and death. 当你哭泣、当你痛苦时，你是孤独的。当你庆祝时，整个存在都会与你一起参与。只有在庆祝中，我们才能遇到终极、永恒。只有在庆祝中，我们才能超越生死轮回。
●The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. 你越赞美和庆祝你的生活，生活中值得庆祝的事情就越多。
●A birthday can be meaningful by spending quality time with loved ones, writing heartfelt notes, or creating homemade gifts or experiences that foster connection and appreciation. 通过与亲人共度美好时光、写下真挚的话语、制作自制的礼物或体验以增进联系和感激，生日可以变得有意义。
●While the significance of birthdays may evolve with age, they generally continue to hold meaning as a celebration of life and an opportunity to gather with loved ones. 尽管生日的意义会随着年龄的增长而发生变化，但总体而言，生日仍然是庆祝生命的节日，也是与亲人团聚的机会。
●Celebrating a birthday alone can be a rewarding experience. Treat yourself to your favorite activities, indulge in good food, take time to relax, and perhaps set new personal goals. Give yourself a happy birthday hug and smile. I am happy to be born and breathing life now. 独自庆祝生日也可以是一次有益的经历。尽情享受自己喜欢的活动，尽情享受美食，放松一下，也许还可以设定新的个人目标。给自己一个生日快乐的拥抱和微笑。我很高兴现在出生并呼吸着生命。
Why Are Birthdays Important? (25 Reasons of 365 Reasons) 生日为何如此重要？（365 个理由中的 25 个理由）

The feeling of “I did it” fills you up as you look back over the last 12 months. It’s a personal trophy day acknowledging that you’ve lived and learned. Each birthday adds to your collection of “Yeah, I rocked this year” moments. 回顾过去的 12 个月，你会有一种“我做到了”的感觉。这是个人的纪念日，承认你活过并学到了东西。每个生日都会增加你的“是的，今年我很棒”时刻的收藏。

Birthdays Offer a Stress-Free Escape From Routine 生日能让你从日常生活中解脱出来，释放压力

Today, you get a free pass from the everyday hustle to do something fun or nothing at all. 在生日这天，日常的繁琐琐事就被搁置了。就像按下闹钟、工作邮件和家务的暂停键一样——只是一小会儿。今天，你可以从日常的忙碌中解脱出来，去做一些有趣的事情，或者什么都不做。

Alright, who’s ready for a day off? Your birthday’s the ultimate personal holiday—a break from the norm that’s just for you. Think of it as an annual day where the regular rules don’t apply, and you get to call the shots. 好吧，谁准备好休息一天了？你的生日是终极的个人假期——一个属于你的打破常规的假期。把它想象成一年一度的一天，在这一天，常规规则不适用，你可以做主。

Birthdays Create Lasting Memories 生日创造永恒的回忆
From the happy snaps to the “Remember when” stories, one of the best things about birthdays is the memories they leave us with. You might not recall what you had for dinner last Tuesday, but a birthday? That sticks! 从快乐的快照到“记得当时”的故事，生日最美好的事情之一就是它给我们留下了回忆。你可能不记得上周二晚餐吃了什么，但生日呢？这很难忘！
Long after the day has passed, the moments of joy, laughter, and even the unexpected surprises stay with us. These memories become cherished parts of our life story, often recounted and relived with friends and family. 一天过去很久之后，那些欢乐、欢笑甚至意外惊喜的时刻仍留在我们心中。这些记忆成为我们人生故事中珍贵的一部分，我们经常与亲朋好友一起讲述和重温。
Example: Years later, you still laugh about the time your birthday cake ended up more inside the stomachs than in mouths. It’s a fond memory that always brings smiles. 例如：多年以后，你仍会笑着回忆起你的生日蛋糕进肚子里比进嘴里更多的时候。这是一个美好的回忆，总是能让人微笑。It is not what enters the mouth of a person that [spiritually] corrupts him, but what proceeds out of his mouth that [spiritually] corrupts him. 不是进入人嘴里的东西使人败坏，而是从人嘴里出来的东西使人败坏。
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.你越赞美和庆祝你的生活，生活中值得庆祝的事情就越多。
How can I make a birthday meaningful without spending a lot of money? 如何不花太多钱，让生日过得有意义？
A birthday can be meaningful by spending quality time with loved ones, writing heartfelt notes, or creating homemade gifts or experiences that foster connection and appreciation. 通过与亲人共度美好时光、写下真挚的话语、制作自制的礼物或体验以增进联系和感激，生日可以变得有意义。
Do birthdays have the same significance at every age? 生日在每个年龄段都具有同样的意义吗？
While the significance of birthdays may evolve with age, they generally continue to hold meaning as a celebration of life and an opportunity to gather with loved ones. 尽管生日的意义会随着年龄的增长而发生变化，但总体而言，生日仍然是庆祝生命的节日，也是与亲人团聚的机会。
How can I celebrate my birthday alone?我一个人怎么过生日呢？
Celebrating a birthday alone can be a rewarding experience. Treat yourself to your favorite activities, indulge in good food, take time to relax, and perhaps set new personal goals. 独自庆祝生日也可以是一次有益的经历。尽情享受自己喜欢的活动、享受美食、放松身心，或许还可以设定新的个人目标。
Final Thoughts 最后的想法
As someone who loves birthdays, I’ve seen how much these yearly celebrations can change our lives. They let us take a break from our busy schedules, think about our wins and losses, and show our loved ones and good friends how much we care. 作为一个热爱生日的人，我亲眼目睹了这些年度庆祝活动对我们生活的改变。它们让我们从繁忙的日程中抽身，思考我们的得失，并向我们所爱的人和好朋友表达我们的关心。
On your next birthday, take the time to enjoy it to the fullest. Surround yourself with the people who matter most to you, indulge in your favorite activities, and don’t be afraid to treat yourself. That’s what it’s all about, right? 下次过生日时，好好享受吧。和你最重要的人在一起，尽情享受你最喜欢的活动，不要害怕善待自己。这才是最重要的，对吧？
Dear ❤️, I wish you another wonderful birthday 🎂.
I’ve always loved birthdays. When I was a child, I couldn’t wait for my special day each year — opening presents, blowing out birthday candles 🎂, and being with family and/or with friends. It was all so exciting! Well, it’s basically a big cheer for you to be here another year. It’s a sign that you’ve lived through 365 days of laughs, tough times, and everything in between.
When people wish “ Happy Birthday, 生日快乐 ,” to you, they’re really saying they’re glad you exist. It doesn’t matter who you are now or where you’re from or why you're there now; everyone gets a day to feel important. It’s time to enjoy yourself and the life you’re living. Birthdays bring back memories. Someone somewhere somehow remembers you . For that one day, you were born, you’re the star, and everyone’s celebrating that you’re a part of their lives. We all learn and grow; birthdays are a good time to celebrate that. You think about the past year, all you’ve learned, the ways you’ve changed, and it feels great...
We sing and dedicate this beautiful song to you, dear ❤️
生日也是一段安静的时光，可以让你回想迄今为止的人生故事。就像在忙碌中按下暂停键，让你喘口气、思考一会儿。

Offer a Moment of Reflection
提供反思的时刻
A birthday is also a quiet time to think about your life story so far. It’s like hitting the pause button in the middle of all the busyness to just breathe and ponder a bit.
You might see how much you’ve progressed , remember the good stuffs, and maybe think about things you want to do differently. Your birthday is like your personal New Year’s Day, full of reflection and fresh starts.
你可能会看到自己进步了多少，记住美好的事物，也许还会思考自己想要以不同的方式做事。你的生日就像是你个人的新年，充满了反思和新的开始。
㊗️🫂
