To smell the roses


闻玫瑰香,嗅一嗅玫瑰的芬芳。这个意思是,去欣赏生活中被忽视的美好。

To enjoy the finer or more enjoyable aspects of life, especially when one has become overworked or overly stressed. Usually preceded by another verb, especially "stop" or "wake up." You can't keep working these 80 hour workweeks, John! You have to stop and smell the roses, or else what is all that work even for? It's clear by the people's laid-back demeanor that this is a culture that places greater value on smelling the roses than the pursuit of money or success.

precede - v. 先于;在…之前发生(或出现);走在…前面

laid-back - adj. 〈非正式〉放松的;懒散的;淡然的
