【文章正文】: I love Labor Day weekend. 我热爱劳动节周末。
It’s the “back to school” moment of the year for me. When I was a kid growing up in Dallas, we didn’t go back to school until after Labor Day, so that was the weekend that summer ended and fall began. 对我而言这是年度”返校”时刻。童年时在达拉斯长大,我们总要等到劳动节后才开学,因此这个周末标志着夏去秋来。
I wrote ten years ago that Memorial Day and Labor Day are the bookends of summer. 十年前我曾写道,阵亡将士纪念日和劳动节是夏季的两端书挡。
What’s different now is that I’m 60, closing in on 61, and lately I’ve been thinking a lot more about what I actually care about. 不同的是如今我已年届六十,即将六十一岁,最近愈发频繁地思考自己真正在意的事物。
