Almost every episode starts with a desperate scream of how to eat Jerry! Tom uses every strategy, tools and weapons to kill Jerry, and Jerry keeps finding relevant means of way to escape. He comes out unhurt even if Tom successfully swallows him. Sometimes, the fight takes an ugly and destructive shape compelling Jerry to uses explosives to blow up Tom’s face or portion of body but he never intends to kill him. After the temporary journey of pain, sufferings, and tortures, Jerry always wins and proves size does not always matter. Both Tom and Jerry have their own challenges, adversaries but they were born to never give up; they bounce back with victories.
還記得兒時的經典動畫片《貓和老鼠》嗎？每一期里Tom 都會用各種計謀各種工具各種武器想殺死Jerry飽餐一頓，但Jerry 總是有辦法依依破解逃之夭夭，即使是 Tom 把它吞進了肚子里也總能起死回生。有時候戰爭異常激烈，經過痛苦折磨甚至極端的虐待后，Jerry 總有高招讓 Tom 狼狽不堪，但卻完全沒有殺死這個大天敵的意思。兩個小家伙都有自己的煩惱和挑戰，不過從沒有放棄的念頭，就像打不死的“小強”。
Here are 10 life lessons we can learn from these two legendary cartoon characters:
且看看從這兩個小“唐吉可德”給我們帶來了哪些生活啟示：
1. We fight with our nearest and dearest ones because we feel it is our right. Well, it doesn’t really matter how much or how many times we fight; what matters is do we provide emotional security in the face of threats? Do we offer our shoulders when they are in need of us or stand by them when they feel isolated? Do we let them feel the indissoluble bond with them? Do you share our happiness in the wonderland of life?
我們總是和身邊最近，最親密的人發生最多矛盾，有時還覺得理所應當。其實有再多的矛盾并不重要，重要的是在關鍵時候我們之間能不能提供情感依靠？對方需要幫助時我們能不能伸出援助之手？對方孤單時我們能不能陪伴左右？能不能讓對方感受到你的愛？能不能分享生命中重要的時刻？
2. If you are witty and poised then your size does not matter at all. A weak might get frightened for a moment but he can win over the strongest with his intelligence and great wits. Jerry doesn’t do heroic works, he just makes the best use of his brain and wins. If you ever feel lost, humiliated, disappointed, or weak, return to yourself and try to explore your strength. “you never know how strong you are… until being strong is the only choice you have.” ― Cayla Mills
如果你機智又淡定，就不要擔心自己的身材矮小。身體上的虛弱可能會帶來一時的恐懼，但你可以用頭腦戰勝最強大的敵人。Jerry 并沒有驚人的壯舉，只是不斷開動大腦，最后也總能取勝。如果感覺失敗，羞恥，失落或者是脆弱，不要氣餒，你的潛能其實很大。當變得強大成了你唯一的選擇后，你才能知道自己到底可以有多強大。
3. Confidence matters. Eleanor Roosevelt has said it best, “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Jerry ultimately wins and brims with confidence. He knows very well how to escape all the obstacles regardless of how many times he stumbles on it.
自信很重要。只有你自己才會認為自己是失敗者，沒人能強加給你。Jerry 每次都能獲勝是因為每次獲勝都充滿著自信，不管失敗過多少次，它都相信自己有辦法應付各種困難。
4. At times, your best friend might behave roughly or seem to be your greatest enemy. It’s not the time to express your anger in foul language and prove him or her wrong. It is quite likely that your friend expects you to be more sensible and wise in difficult situations and wants you to acknowledge your mistake. Compassion and love are expressed in a variety of ways anger is one of them.
有時，你可能會把真正的朋友當敵人來對待。如果覺得對方有什么不妥，先不要慌著爆粗口，或許他們只是希望讓你認識到自己的缺點，面對真正的困難時更能應付自如。愛的表達方式千萬種，憤怒的方式只是其中一種。
5. A little home, sufficient food and a true friend are enough to be happy.
什么是幸福？一個小窩，足夠的食物，一個摯友，足矣。
6. Sometimes we don’t actually learn from our failures, Tom attacks Jerry in almost the same patterns and as usual Jerry escapes.
有時我們并沒有從失敗中吸取教訓，就像 Tom 大多數使用的方法 Jerry 都有逃脫過。
7. Even a small little thing can make you feel how diminutive you are in front of his/her guts, courage and confidence. Stay grounded and rooted; and never humiliate somebody for their height or size.
面對對手的勇氣和自信，即使是一個小細節也會讓你感到無比卑微。要腳踏實地，不要因為別人的個子小，外表不起眼就瞧不上對方。
8. Sometimes you feel that you are the best person to know how to make something happen and you have seen it every way without having a slightest idea that there is somebody who knows it better than you.
有時你會覺得自己是最聰明的，卻不知道山外有山，“貓外有老鼠”。
9. Sometimes, some tricks that we consider idiotic or meaningless work wonders.
有些情況下，看起來傻到家的辦法才是真正的解決之道。
10. Be prepare to face difficulties even if you have had enough of it. There is an old saying, “Every difficulty is an opportunity in disguise!” Be prepared and let them come and get you bothered; they will make you stronger and wiser as a person. It often happens that whenever Tom thinks that all is done Jerry plays his card and wins.
即使困難再多，也要隨時準備迎接新的困難，每一件難事都是讓你鶴立雞群的考驗。時刻準備著迎接困難，時刻準備著解決困難，會讓你變得強大，更加有智慧。Tom 每次覺得大功告成的時候，都是 Jerry 逆襲的節奏。
