包含这段话的原文如下：

The hardest thing in the world is saying yes to the world. Do you say yes to the world? Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying no to the things we don't like and yes to the things we do, and yet, everything we face is our life. We won't say yes to the things we do not like, because we fear that we will not remove them forever.

But in fact, it is only through accepting the existence of what's not working for us that we can begin the process of change. When we say yes to the world, we enter into a state of trust that whatever our situation is, we can work with it. We express belief in ourselves, and the world, and we also express a willingness to learn from whatever happens to us,rather than running and hiding when we don't like what we see. Therefore, in one word, saying yes is definitely good for our life.

The question we might ask ourselves is what it will take for us to get to the point of saying yes. For some of us, it takes dealing with something we can't escape or refuse, and so we are left with no choice but to say yes.For others, it just seems a natural process of events that leads us to make the decision to say yes to life. Saying yes to life might be difficult at first, and even painful at times, but if we continue to say yes to every moment through the process, it will be far less difficult in the end. And we will find the joy of being in a positive talk to the world with a very powerful word -- yes. We should accept everything life puts in front of us.

读完整篇短文，就可以知道saying yes在这里是“接受现实（包括自己不喜欢的事物）”的意思。因此，这段话可以做如下翻译：

我们可能会问自己这样一个问题：我们怎样才能接受现实呢？对我们中有些人来说，我们在处理一些我们无法逃避或无法拒绝的事务时，除了接受外别无选择。（对其他人来说，我们决定接受现实似乎是自然而然的事情。）......

以上译文没有按照英语结构对应翻译，而是根据汉语表达习惯进行翻译的。

take在这里是需要的意思：to need a particular thing in order for something to happen

 it takes dealing with something we can’t escape or refuse （for us to say yes). 动名词短语作takes的宾语，相当于it takes sth for sb to do sth.这个句型中的sth. 即要让我们中的有些人接受生活，需要让他们处理他们无法逃避或拒绝的事情。按汉语表达习惯整理一下，就是：我们中的有些人只有在处理他们无法逃避或拒绝的事情时，才会接受现实。
