It is 12:05 in the morning as I write this. It’s my birthday today and I can’t believe I officially turn 38 today. I still act and feel like I’m 18! I can’t believe how time flies. It seems like yesterday when I turned 23 and came to Shanghai with 200 yuan on a cold and rainy night. I can’t believe I survived and thrived in this big and exciting city.
在我写这篇博客的时候午夜刚过。今天是我的生日，真得不敢相信我已正式迈入38岁，虽然我仍感觉自己像18岁！很难相信时间过得如此快；23岁生日的一个寒冷雨夜我怀揣200元来到大上海，这一切就像发生在昨天。很难相信，自己竟然在这个大都市生存下来了，而且活得还不错。
I have never had a birthday celebration and it didn’t matter to me at all. In my generation, it seemed that parents didn’t celebrate their children’s birthdays. When I grew up I always forgot and missed my birthday; after I got married, my wife is not good with remembering my birthday--she doesn’t feel guilty, because she knows clearly that birthday celebrations are not my cup of tea.
我从来没过过生日，也一点不在乎是否过生日。像我这代人父母好像不给自己的孩子过生日。等我长大了，我又总是忘掉或错过生日；等我结婚了，老婆也总是记不住我的生日。她也不内疚，因为她知道我不喜欢过生日。
I just don’t see the point in celebrating birthdays--people complain about getting older and yet they celebrate them every year. It’s not the moment to celebrate, it’s the moment to look back and be thankful. I’m thankful that my parents are not that old and they are healthy; I’m thankful that I have a great career, financial security, big house and beautiful wife…
我不明白庆祝生日的意义何在---人们整天埋怨在变老，而每年却还仍要为此庆祝。对我来说现在不是庆祝的时刻，而是回顾感恩的时刻。我感谢自己的父母还不算老，身体仍然健康；我感谢自己拥有不错的事业，经济稳定，有大房子住，还有一个漂亮的妻子……
I will not celebrate my Birthday today, but I have collected and translated some funny birthday quotes for you to learn good and plain English. Always remember: we learn best in moments of enjoyment.
