生活英语听力文章：QT(安静时间)在达到目标中起关键性作用
"安静时间"在达到目标中起关键性作用
In today’s fast paced electronic world, the need for quiet time has never been more crucial. The number of interruptions and resulting stress coming from texts, calls, emails, and social sites has increased. And, of course, as if we don’t all have enough already going on, we have an endless supply of addictive options at our fingertip to fill our heads with chatter.
在今天的快节奏的电子世界，对安静时间的需要从未如此重要过。中断的数量和压力的产生主要是短信，电话，电子邮件和社交网站的增加。当然，如果我们没有做好充足的向前的准备，我们会有无休止的上瘾的选择在我们的指尖和唠叨充满我们的大脑。
If you want to advance your life forward, it’s absolutely critical that you block out time when you turn off the noise so you can think and process information in silence.
如果你想提高你的生活质量，关掉时间的噪音，在沉默中思考和处理信息，这绝对是至关重要的。
The Value of Quiet Time
安静时间的价值
You’ve heard it before, but it’s a quote worth memorizing. Jim Rohn said, “Success comes from a series of good decisions made over time while failure comes from a series of poor decisions made over time.” After more than 15 years of thinking about this statement and watching it play out in the lives of people I know, I am convinced that our lives are a mirror image of our decisions.
你或许之前听说过，但是这是一个值得回忆的概述。吉姆·罗恩说“成功来自于一系列的随着时间推移的好决策，而失败来自于一系列糟糕的决策。”经过十五年思考这句话，看着我认识的人的生活，我相信我们的生活是我们决定的镜像。
If you want to make sensible life-planning decisions, the kind of decisions that allow you to move ahead in life, you need quiet time to think and process the things going on in your life.
如果你想过明智的生活——规划决策，这种决策让你的生活前进。你需要安静的时间去思考并处理出现在你生活中的事情。
I assume that you want to build a stronger relationship with your spouse or significant other, that you want to be an understanding parent, that you want to enjoy a successful career, and that you want to make enough money to stay out of debt and enjoy the good things life has to offer. Am I right?
我假设你想和你的伴侣或者其他重要的人建立一个稳固的关系，或者是你想去理解你的父母，或者你想有一份令人满意的成功的事业，或者是你想挣足够的钱来还清债务并且去享受你生活中美好的事情。我说的对吗?
If these things really are important, then ask yourself: How much time have I spent in the last month quietly thinking about these issues?
如果这些事情真的这么重要，然后告诉你自己：我上个月花费了多少时间来安静的思考这些问题?
How can I manage my money more efficiently
How can I increase my market value
What would I like to accomplish over the next year
How can I fulfill the needs and desires of my spouse or significant other
How can I improve the connection with my children or friends
Was the time you spent thinking about each of these congruent with their level of importance in your life? Yes or No? If your answer is no, then think about how much time you have spent in the last month with each of these activities:
我如何能有效的管理我的钱;我怎样才能提高我的市场价值;我想在明年完成什么;我怎样才能完成我的需求，我的伴侣或者其他重要的人的欲望;如何才能增进我和我的孩子，我和朋友的关系;你是否花费时间去思考它们在你生活中的地位和重要性?是还是不是?如果你的回答是否定的，那么思考一下上个月你有多少时间花费在这些活动中：
Listening to music or the radio
Watching TV
Checking out the social sites
Reading books unrelated to your goals
Surfing the Web
How can you say something is important, but yet not allocate time to think about it and make thoughtful decisions as to how you can improve that area of your life?
听音乐或者是收音机;看电视;上社交网站;读一些与你目标无关的书;网上冲浪。你怎么能说它们是重要的，你没有拿出时间来思考并深思熟虑的做决定，怎么能提高你的生活在这些方面的质量呢?
If achieving your goals is really important, then you must make it a priority to block out time to sit in silence and process what’s going on in your life and make good course-correcting decisions.
如果实现你的目标是非常重要的，那么你必须拿出时间优先的去安静的思考你生命中的过程在这些过程中的决策。
Let me offer you a few suggestions:
我来告诉你一些建议：
1. Start your mornings by sitting in silence. Rather than watching the news, reading the morning paper, or opening your computer, find a quiet place to just sit and think.
1.从早晨开始坐下来沉思。与看新闻，读早报打开你的电脑相比不如找一个安静的地方坐下来去思考。
2. While driving alone turn off the music and talk shows. Turn your car into a think tank where you process life and make good decisions.
2.当一个人开车时，关掉音乐和谈话节目。把你的车变成一个智囊团来处理你的生活做出好的决定。
3. Go for a daily walk and leave the music at home. Pick a topic to concentrate on. Almost all of my major decisions are made on my walks. Here are my three favorite questions I ask myself when choosing to think about a specific subject:
3.把音乐留在家里，每天去散步。集中精力于一个话题。几乎我所有的重要的决定都是在散步中做出的。在选择去思考一个特定的主题时，我最喜欢问我自己的三个问题是：
What’s going on? Think about the subject you have selected.
What are my options? Consider all available options.
What’s my plan? Make a decision on what you will do.
4. If you have a major decision to make, block out a day, get out of your home, and go somewhere where you can think in peace and quiet. As you do, consider all aspects of your decisions: options, pros, cons, risks, rewards, and possible outcomes.
发生了什么事?考虑一下你选择的主题;我的选择是什么?考虑一下所有可能的选项;我的计划是什么?决定你会做什么。 如果你有一个重大的决定阻挡了一天，离开你家，然后去一个你可以安静的思考的地方。像你所做的，考虑你决定的所有方面：选择、优点、缺点、风险报酬和可能的结果。
When you make it a priority to block out time in your busy schedule to just sit in silence and think about your life and where you are going, you will immediately begin to see the benefits of quiet time.
当你优先的在百忙之中抽出时间只是安静的坐着想你的生活和你将要去哪里，你很快就开始看到安静时间对你的好处。
Will you agree to test this lesson by finding 15 minutes TODAY to sit in silence and think about an important decision you need to make?
你是不是愿意做一个测试：今天拿出十五分钟的时间安静的坐下来并去认真的思考你需要做的重要的决定?
If you agree with the importance of taking quiet time, please share what you do during your quiet time and how it helps you make better decisions?
如果你同意安静时间的重要性，请分享一下你在安静时间做了什么和它是如何帮助你做出更好的决定的?
