PEOPLE-WATCHING ON YOUR COMMUTE
觀察別人的快樂
Chase after happiness too hard, and it evaporates between your fingers. The trick is to let it creep up on you unawares. I am happiest when I am lost in my own imagination.
過分追求快樂，快樂就會從你的指間溜走。獲得快樂的竅門就是讓它在你不經意間來到你身邊。沉醉在自己想象中時是我最快樂的時候。

I people-watch and try to work out what their story is. And the best place to do this is the daily commute. Everybody uses public transport: rich, poor, old and young.
我喜歡觀察別人，然后想象出他們的故事。上下班途中是做這個的最 佳時機。無論窮富老少，每個人都會使用公共交通工具。
I try to pick up clues from the shoes they wear, the state of their fingernails, the depth of their laughter lines.
我會在很多地方找到線索，比如鞋子的款式、指甲的樣子和笑紋的深度。
I have learned not to stare, and since the advent of smartphones, this has become a lot easier. Commuters tend to be so distracted by their electronic devices, they don't often look up.
我觀察的時候可以不盯著別人看，而智能手機的出現(xiàn)讓觀察變得更容易了。人們的注意力總是在他們的電子設備上，很少會抬頭。
Also, people tend to kill their time by reading through old emails (always interesting) or by tapping out messages to friends (absolutely fascinating).
而且人們想要打發(fā)時間的時候通常會看舊郵件或者給朋友發(fā)信息，內容總是很有趣的。
I like to call it feeding my novelist's imagination. But you could just call it nosy.
我喜歡稱之為小說家的想象，不過你也可以說是八卦。
