当我在生活中独自一人的时候,我要怎么庆祝我的生日?
How do I celebrate my birthday when I am all alone in my life?
我27岁,因为想要确定在人生中最重要的事是什么,所以几个月前辞了工作。
I am 27, and have quit my job a few months ago to check my priorities in life.
紧随其后的是,我失去了所有朋友。我现在是孤身一人,这么说我的意思是真的没有人会在乎我的生日。
Amid the frustrations that followed, I have lost all my friends. I am alone right now, and by that, I really mean there is no one who would care for my birthday.
我下周就过生日了,我想要让这个生日特别一些,但是毫无头绪,不知道怎么做。
My birthday is later next week. I wish to make it special but have no clue how.
我也曾遇到过这样的事。
It happened to me once.
我带上蛋糕和其他食物去了公园。
I bought a large cake and other goodies and went to the park.
我把它们都摆出来,朝着独自路过的陌生人们招手并对他们说。
I laid them out and waved to passing strangers who were alone and said.
“今天是我的生日,过来吃块蛋糕吧。”
"It's my birthday, come and have a piece of cake."
这简直棒极了。
It worked a treat.
过生日的时候试试这种做法。
Have a practice birthday to try it.
做孤独的人没什么不好的。
There is no shortage of lonely people.
只要看看《憨豆先生生日特辑》就明白了。
Just watch Mr. Bean's birthday episode.
大家都很享受憨豆先生带来的欢笑,但是我却受到他的激励,他是如此地享受独处时刻,这让我学到了人生的一课。
People laugh and enjoy Mr. Bean but I get motivated by him. He enjoyes his own company so much that it gives me a life lesson.
在上面那篇特辑中他如此愉快地独自庆祝生日,这让我开始嫉妒他了。
In the above episode he celebrates his birthday so nicely all alone that I started feeling jealous of him.

你不得不辞掉工作还失去了朋友,我对此感到很难过。你说得对,光是在生日时坐在那儿无所事事并不是个好主意。我建议你做些新奇的事情。走出家门,尝尝不一样的食物,计划一个短途旅行,听点音乐,享受独处时光。在你经历过一次小小的冒险之前别回家。
I'm sorry you needed to leave your job and lost your friends. You're right that sitting around on your birthday isn't a good idea. I suggest doing something new. Get out of the house. Try a different kind of food. Go to the movies. Plan a short road trip. Go listen to some music. Enjoy your own company. Don't re-enter your house until you've had a little adventure.
