A few months ago I started driving out 几个月前,我开始开车

of the city at night just to look at the stars. 出城,只为了在夜里看看星星。

It sounds dramatic, but it changed something in me. 听起来有点夸张,但这确实触动了我内心深处的一些东西。

In the city, you forget the sky is even there. 在城里,你甚至会忘了头顶还有片天空。

You look up and see maybe five 你抬头看,顶多只能看到

faint dots through the glow of the streetlights. 穿透路灯光晕的那么几个微弱光点。

But an hour's drive into the dark, 但只要往黑暗深处开上一个小时,

you look up and there are thousands of them, 一抬头,就能看到成千上万颗星星,

a whole river of light across the sky. 像是一整条光之河流横跨天际。

The first time I saw it properly, I actually gasped. 第一次真切看清时,我真的倒吸了一口气。

Standing under all those stars, 站在漫天繁星之下,

my problems suddenly felt very small, in the best possible way. 我的烦恼突然变得微不足道,那种释然的感觉真是再好不过了。

It's a strange kind of comfort, feeling tiny. 觉得自己如此渺小,居然带来了一种奇妙的安慰。

It reminds me that most of the things 它提醒着我,绝大多数

I stress about are not nearly 让我感到焦虑的事情,其实根本

as big as they seem. 没有看起来那么大不了。
