Life Is A Test

　　人生是一場(chǎng)考試

　　It makes for a lot of stress, and we tend to feel that there will be more hard lessons in life。

　　這是個(gè)讓人充滿壓力的比喻，我們時(shí)常感覺人生就是一個(gè)不斷面臨各種課題的過程。

　　Life Is An Adventure

　　人生是一次冒險(xiǎn)

　　It orients us towards seeing the unpredictable events and circumstances as potentially fun and interesting challenges。

　　這個(gè)比喻強(qiáng)調(diào)了生命中不可預(yù)知的情況，并暗示我們將未知因素視為有趣的挑戰(zhàn)。

　　Life Is A Punishment

　　人生是一個(gè)懲罰

　　It is inherent in some religions, which suggest a punishing "purification" through life as a means to some great reward afterward。

　　這個(gè)比喻來源于某些宗教，它們認(rèn)為人生就是通過懲罰性的“凈化”以在死后通達(dá)更高的境界。

　　Life Is An Opportunity

　　人生是一次機(jī)遇

　　The perspective this creates is one that encourages actions and going after your dreams and goals。

　　這個(gè)比喻鼓勵(lì)我們積極采取行動(dòng)，追逐夢(mèng)想和目標(biāo)。

　　Life Is A Waiting Room

　　人生是一間等候室

　　It is hard to imagine a more passive perspective: we wait for "our ship to come in," for example, or say, "my time will come." We wait to hear "opportunity knocking," or "my turn." Of course, none of these ideas encourage us to take action to make things happen。

　　或許沒有比這個(gè)比喻更消極的了：如果我們總是等待救生筏，等待時(shí)機(jī)的到來，等待機(jī)遇來敲門……當(dāng)然，也就不會(huì)主動(dòng)采取行動(dòng)了。
