In junior high school, Kondo would tidy up bookshelves while her classmates were playing outside. I was obsessed with what I could throw away,” she said. “One day, I realized my mistake: I was only looking for things to throw out. What I should be doing is finding the things I want to keep. Identifying the things that make you happy: that is the work of tidying.” 从孩提时代起，近藤就对收纳十分感兴趣。初中时，当同学们在外边玩耍时，近藤会 再家里收拾自己的书架。“我对清理物品十分着迷”她说，“有一天，我意识到我的错误 是：我只是在寻找可以扔掉的东西。但其实我应该做的是发现我应该保留的东西。找 到那些可以让你愉悦的东西：那才是收纳的意义。” 书本导读 KonMari master tips 近藤的小贴士 Her self-named KonMari method is a foreign concept for Western minds, but many agree with Kondos idea that people are more content when their homes are tidy. Kondo reminds us that we likely need much less than we actually have. To put your home in order, only two skills are necessary according to Kondo: “the ability to keep what sparks joy and chuck the rest, and the ability to decide where to keep each thing you choose and always put it 第 2 页 back in its place.” This idea that you should keep what sparks joy became the name sake of her book. 她自创的“近藤式”收纳法对于西方人来说是个外来概念。但很多人同意她的看法：当 家居整洁的时候，人们会感到更满足。近藤提醒我们我们真正需要的东西比我们实际 拥有的东西要少。近藤认为要使你的家整洁，只需要两个技能：能找到保留让你愉悦 的东西并扔掉其余的东西；能把你留下来的东西收纳整齐，并且永远要记得归位。这 个概念里的“spark joy”就是她新书名字的来源。 Kondo writes that in order to achieve a happy, tidy home, its not about deciding what you want to throw out. Rather, as you rummage through your things, ask yourself this question: What do I want to keep? You might say to yourself, “This might come in handy, so Ill keep it,” but Kondo strongly advises against doing this, because even if it does come in handy at some point, you can always manage without it. So, to find what really brings you joy, compare with other things. “Its hard to decide if something brings joy when you look at it by itself. When you compare it with a bunch of other things, however, your feelings become clear.” 近藤写到为了能有一个让人愉悦，整洁的家，你不应该去找要扔掉什么，与其去翻检 你的东西，你应该问自己一个问题：我想保留一些什么？你可能会对自己说：“有天我 可能会用到它，会很方便，所以我要留着它。”但近藤强烈反对这么做，因为即使某个 时候你的确会用到这件东西，你还是可以通过其它方式在没有它的情况下完成任务。 所以要去通过比较来找那些给你带来愉悦的东西。“如果你单独审视某件物品时，很 难决定到底它能不能带给你快乐。但当你把很多东西放在一起对比时，你的想法会清 晰起来。” 第 3 页 The tidying encyclopedia 收纳百科全书 Spark Joy is full of diagrams that show readers exactly how to fold and store items. As you go through a closet or storage room, Kondo advises readers to take a moment to say “thank you” to the clothes you are wearing, to your pen or computer, and other things. Doing this will help you appreciate how these things make you happy already. After youve done this, continue tidying. Spark Joy里有很多图表，向读者展示了如何叠东西，收纳东西。当你穿过衣柜或 者储藏室时，近藤建议读者向你穿着的衣服、你的笔、你的电脑或者其它东西说声谢 谢。这样做能让你对这些让你愉悦的物品有感恩之情。然后，再继续你的整理工作。 第 4 页 Kondo has four basic principles for storing clothes or other items: fold it, stand it upright, store in one spot, and divide your storage space into square compartments. She also suggests that your storage should be full, but not stuffed. As for papers and documents, discard everything. Except for irreplaceable documents like birth certificates and university degrees, theres no need to have superfluous papers. 近藤对收纳衣物或者其它东西有 4 个基本原则：叠起来，竖起来，放在固定的地方， 把存储空间分割成方形区块。她建议你的储物空间应该放满，但是不要塞。除了那些 不能替代的文件，比如出生证明，学历证书，不要存放任何纸张和文件，那些都是多 余的。 Kondo also talks about setting up an enjoyable kitchen. “If you want a kitchen that you can enjoy cooking in, aim for one thats easy to clean.” She advises that the best way to 第 5 页 do this is to clear your countertops and area around the sink. This will declutter the kitchen and make it far easier to wipe up after cooking. 近藤也谈到了如何归置一个整齐的厨房。“如果你想做起饭来得心应手，你就得让厨 房方便清洁。”她建议整理好厨房操作台面和水斗区域是最好的整理厨房的方法。这 会让你的厨房整洁，并且在做饭以后很容易清洁。 Outline of Spark Joy Spark Joy大纲 Part I: KonMari master tips 第一部分：近藤小贴士 Honing your sensitivity to joy 磨砺你对愉悦的敏锐度 How to fill your home with joy 如何让你的家里充满愉悦 Everything you need to know about storing joyfully 所有愉快收纳你需要知道的东西 Part II: The tidying encyclopedia 第二部分：收纳百科全书 Tidying clothes 收纳衣物 Tidying books 收纳书籍 Tidying papers 第 6 页 收纳纸张 Tidying sentimental items 收纳有纪念意义的东西 Part III: Life-changing magic 第三部分：改变生活的魔法 A home that sparks joy 点亮愉悦生活的家居 The things that come when youre done 完成工作时，你会发现的东西 Quotes from Marie Kondo 近藤麻理惠的金句 “The question of what you want to own is actually the question of how you want to live your life.” 你想要什么东西这个问题，其实是你在问你想要怎么样的生活。 “But when we really delve into the reasons for why we cant let something go, there are only two: an attachment to the past or a fear for the future.” 但当我们真正去深挖为什么我们不能扔东西时，只有两个原因：对过去的依恋和对将 来的恐惧。 “The best way to choose what to keep and what to throw away is to take each item in ones hand and ask: Does this spark joy? If it does, keep it. If not, dispose of it.” 第 7 页 选择哪些东西要保留，哪些东西要扔掉的最好办法是：把它握在手里，然后问：“这能 让我的生活更愉悦吗？”如果是，那就留着。如果不是，就扔了。 “No matter how wonderful things used to be, we cannot live in the past. The joy and excitement we feel here and now are more important.” 不论这个东西以前多好， 我们都不能活在过去。 当下我们的愉快感和激动是更重要的。 “The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past.” 我们
