 有人说，在世界上发光发热的人，35岁前都已掌握住了某些「诀窍」。而这些诀窍却是30岁以前就开始累积的。 畅销书「传说中的一流员工」、「30岁前，决定未来收入的90%」的作者土井英司说，30岁可称为「最初也是最后的一年」，人生的分水岭，淬炼自我非要在30岁前完成。你怎么想自己的30岁？看看前辈忠告前，先想想这些字用英文怎么表达。 a) 鸿鹄之志 b) 牵就 c) 拖延 到了30岁是该安定下来的时候。以下几位已经历30岁这个阶段，提供他们自身的一些忠告。 Your 30s are typically a time of settling down. The following is some wise advice from those who have already experienced their 30s. 1. 他们和能让生命增值的人相处/They spend time with people who add value to their lives. 不要再和不能善待你的人相处，而应花更多时间和所爱的人在一起。微软产品设计师Michael Bach表示： 不要一味工作，而要创造回忆。年龄愈大，则愈难培养有深度的情谊。 Stop spending time with those who don’t treat you well and instead spend more time with loved ones. Don’t just work. Make memories. The older you get, the harder it is to make meaningful relationships, writes Microsoft product designer Michael Bach. 2. 他们追求更崇高的志向/They pursue their a loftier aspirations 20岁的人往往牵就一份他们不热爱的工作。当他们意识到时，一份临时的工作已经变成了事业。 虽然30岁时想要转行很困难，但并非不可能，而且可能会是正确的抉择。 Twenty-something often settle for a job they are not passionate about. Before they know it, a temporary job becomes a career. While it’s certainly more difficult to switch industries in your 30s, it’s not impossible and may be the right choice. 3. 他们不担心未来/They don’t obsess about the future. 作家Mark Manson在20几岁时就领悟到，并不会有那神奇的时刻－开始感觉自己如成人恍然大悟。你甚至无法预知5年后的生活。 Author Mark Manson realized in his 20s that there is not a magical moment where you start feeling like an adult who has it all figured out. You cannot even anticipate your life 5 years into the future. 4. 他们决定要不要有小孩/They decide whether they want kids or not. 有小孩不见得适合每个人，但为了现在的理想状况而延后生小孩不会是个好主意。如果你想要小孩，赶快生吧，以免太迟。小孩很棒，能够提升你的生命。 Kids certainly are not for everyone, but putting off having children for an ideal situation is a bad idea. If you want to have kids, have them before it’s too late. Kids are great. They make you better in every way. 5. 他们重视自己的身体健康/They take care of their health. 视运动以及健康的饮食习惯为首要项目。Bach在问答Quora网站写道：「身体健康，是最重要的。不要到迈入30岁时常常觉得疲累和动作越来越慢。」 Make exercise and healthy eating habits a priority. Be healthy. That is priority . Don't get into your 30s being slow and tired all the time,” Bach writes on question-and-answer website Quora. 6. 他们为未来打好经济基础/ They establish a financial foundation for the future. 如果你已经30岁但尚未存钱，现在开始还不会太迟。此时你需要为退休生活存钱。先决定可存款的薪水比例，然后存到银行里。 If you hit 30 and you’ve set nothing aside, it’s not too late to start the ball rolling（注1）. By this point, you need to save up for your retirement. Determine first what percentage of your paycheck you can easily live without and put it away at a bank. 7. 他们仍然享受人生/They still enjoy themselves. 最后一点，只因为你已不再是20几岁，并不代表你不能享受人生。请记住，如果你的生命索然无味，辛苦挣来的钱便毫无意义可言。 And finally, just because you’re not in your 20s anymore doesn’t mean you need to stop having fun. （注2) Bear in mind that none of the money you work hard to make matters if you are not enjoying life. 口语词汇: 注1. Start the ball rolling （采取具体行动） Since our office has decided to recycle paper, we should start the ball rolling right away. 既然办公室已决定开始回收废纸，我们应该立即采取具体行动。 John has started the ball rolling by setting up a series of meetings and notifying everyone involved. 约翰已经采取具体行动：安排一系列的会议，并通知相关人员。 注2. Bear something in mind （牢记，考虑） Bearing in mind that she’s had so little experience, I thought she had done a good job. 考虑到她的经验如此之少，我认为她的表现已经不错。 As a generation gap exists, we should bear in mind that younger people might not like this idea. 由于有代沟存在，我们应该考虑到，年轻人可能不会喜欢这个点子。
