它们被称为成长的烦恼是有原因的
Growing Pains
Remember when you were 8 years old and lying in bed and your ankles hurt so much? Your parents told you that they were called growing pains and that you’ll have to go through them for a little bit but then you’ll be bigger and stronger so soon. Yeah, they definitely hurt for a while but then they eventually stopped and you were finally grown. This exact phenomenon happens to people when they’re ready to change.
还记得你8岁躺在床上，脚踝疼得厉害吗?你的父母告诉你，它们被称为成长的烦恼，你必须经历一段时间，但很快你就会变得更大更强。是的，它们确实会疼一阵子，但最终它们停止了，你终于长大了。当人们准备改变的时候，这种现象就会发生。
Whether it’s moving to a new city, starting a new job, cutting out bad habits, or really any change to your usual lifestyle, it’s not going to be easy. The beginning of it, you’ll have growing pains. And the reason you’ll feel this pain is because you’re letting go of something that you have right now. Whether it’s friends you have outgrown, bad habits you need to overcome or a new lifestyle you want to live, you’re going to have to let go of something in order to change. But the beauty of it is that although you’re letting go of something, it’s going to be replaced with something even better. Something that will make you a better and more true version of yourself.
无论是搬到一个新的城市，开始一份新的工作，改掉坏习惯，还是真正改变你的日常生活方式，这都不是一件容易的事。刚开始的时候，你会有成长的烦恼。你会感到痛苦的原因是因为你正在放弃你现在拥有的东西。无论是你已经长大的朋友、你需要克服的坏习惯，还是你想要的新生活方式，为了改变，你不得不放弃一些东西。但它的美妙之处在于，虽然你放弃了一些东西，但它会被更好的东西取代。让你成为更好更真实的自己。
They’re called growing pains for a reason. It’s hard to let go of what you already know. It’s painful. Change can be painful. But that’s also why they’re called growing pains. It means you’re growing. It means you’re changing. It means you’re going after something you want. And that’s pretty awesome. So if you’re going through these growing pains, remember that the next better version of yourself is coming soon. It’ll hurt for a while but nothing will compare to the feeling of knowing that you’ve finally grown.
它们被称为成长的烦恼是有原因的。放弃你已经知道的东西是很难的。这是痛苦的。改变是痛苦的。但这也是为什么它们被称为成长的烦恼。这意味着你在成长。这意味着你在改变。意思是你在追求你想要的东西。这非常棒。所以，如果你正在经历这些成长的痛苦，请记住，下一个更好的你很快就会到来。虽然会痛一阵子，但没有什么比知道自己终于长大的感觉更棒了。
You don’t even remember your growing pains when you were a little kid, right? You only remember them when they’re brought up. The same thing will happen again. You won’t remember the hurt you’re going through now. You’ll only remember the growing. So keep going. Keep growing. You’re almost there.
你甚至不记得你小时候的成长烦恼，对吧?你只有在他们长大的时候才会记得他们。同样的事情还会发生。你不会记得你现在所受的伤害。你只会记得成长。所以继续。保持增长。你差不多了。
