马叮当 将臣 同人:是的，抱怨又能怎样？

作者：雪莉

We all have reason to complain from time to time.

我们经常有理由来抱怨。

We don’t have enough responsibility at work, we don’t get out and just have a good time, we don’t have enough money, we need a break from the kids etc …

我们没有足够的工作责任，我们不能够外出来度过一段美好时光，我们没有足够的钱，我们需要离开孩子休息一下，等等等等。

Well, I have one question for you: What are you doing about it?

然而，我要问你一个问题：抱怨又能怎样？

Complaining without a potential solution is pointless. Complaining is just talking and pointing out what’s wrong with your current situation. The only way you’re going to get out of a non-ideal situation is if you make it happen. No one else cares that much.

没有解决方法，仅仅抱怨是没有意义的。抱怨只不过就是不断的唠叨来指出当前你遇到了什么困难。摆脱当前困境的唯一的办法就是你自己要摆脱它。他人并不会那么在意你的困境。

If you’re unhappy in your job there are many options available to you. You can talk to your boss about a change, be proactive and take on more responsibility without getting prior approval or get training so you can move on when new opportunities arise, just to name a few.

如果你对自己的工作不满意，你可以有很多选择。你可以同老板谈谈，要求做出调整，要积极主动，负起更多的责任来而不是为了得到赞扬，或者接受培训以便在机会出现时你能够马上抓住它。这里仅举几个例子而已。

Don’t have much alone time? You need to make time. There are only 24 hours in a day and regardless of how hard we wish that’s not going to change. Make it a priority, add it to your schedule, make it happen – no one else will.

没有足够的独处时间吗？你需要学会利用时间。一天只有24小时，不管我们的愿望多么强烈，这一点永远不会改变。把时间安排好，放到你的日程表里，实现它--没有人能做到。

If you don’t have enough money ask yourself what would be enough, look at where your money is currently going and can you change it? Can you learn to be content with what you do have, realizing that so many other people have much much less than you? You could also ask for a raise, work a second job or find a way to get paid for a hobby you love.

要是你没有足够的钱，就要问问自己有多少钱就够了，看看你的钱都花在什么地方了。能不能改变这一点？你可以学着对你所拥有的感到满足吗？能够意识到还有许许多多的人远比你少吗？你也可以要求得到更高收入，做个兼职或者想办法让你的爱好为你带来收入。

Next time you find yourself complaining turn it on its head and see how you can make it about you. Take control, become empowered and do something about it. Nobody cares as much about your situation as you do, so get on it!

下次当你会发现自己不断抱怨的时候，要知道如何处理。要学会控制，掌握主动，采取适当的办法应对。没有人向你自己那样关心你当前的处境，所以，你要打败它。
