宁静的真谛
There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.
But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest — in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?
“Because,” explained the king, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.”
从前有个国王,悬赏能画出最好的宁静的画的画家。很多画家都试过了。国王看了所有的作品,但他真正喜欢的只有两幅。一幅画中是一片宁静的湖泊,四周群山环绕,而湖泊就是一面完美的镜子。蓝色的天空中白云飘飘,每个看到这幅画的人都认为这真是一幅表现宁静的完美作品。
另一幅画也有山脉,但却崎岖不平,而且光秃秃的。上面是乌云密布的天空,而且狂风骤雨、闪电雷鸣,一条白色的瀑布从山的一侧倾泻下来。这看起来一点都不宁静。
然而当国王仔细地看了看,他看到在岩石的裂隙中长着一颗小小的灌木。在汹涌的水流中间,鸟妈妈安坐在她的巢穴中——如此和谐。
你认为哪幅画能得到国王的赞赏呢?国王选择了第二幅。你知道为什么吗?
国王说:“这是因为,宁静并不是指在这个地方没有噪音,没有烦扰,没有艰难的劳动。宁静意味着所有这些因素都存在于你的周围,而你的心中依然能保持安宁。这才是宁静的真谛。”

让“宽恕的风”把仇恨抹去
两个朋友结伴穿越沙漠,旅途中二人突然吵了起来,其中一个掴了对方一记耳光。被打的人感到自己受了伤害,但什么也没有说,只是在沙地上写下了这样一句话:“今天我最好的朋友掴了我耳光。他们继续前行,看见到处绿洲,他们正打算在那里洗澡时,刚才被打的人不小心陷入了泥潭,开始深陷,他的朋友救了他。等他几近淹死的边缘苏醒过来后,他在石头上刻下:“今天我最好的朋友救了我的命。”他的朋友问:“为什么我伤你之后,你在沙子上写字,现在却把字刻在石头上?” 他回答道:“当有人伤害了我们,我们应该把它写进沙里,宽恕的风会把仇恨抹去。而当有人为我们做了好事,我们应当把它刻在石头上,没有风可以将它抹去。”
The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend sled the other one in the face.
The one who got sled felt hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend sled me in the face."
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been sled got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend sed him.
After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "Today my best friend sed my life."
The friend who had sled and sed his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?"
The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engre it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

翅膀断了心飞翔
He lost his arms in an accident that claimed his father's life—who was the main source of support for the family. Since then,he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him,his younger brother became his shadow,never leing him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes,he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
在一次事故中,作为家中顶梁柱的父亲永远地离去了,他也因此失去了双手。从此弟弟的手便成了他的手。为了照顾他,弟弟从小到大总是形影不离地跟在他的身边,他除了学会了用脚趾头写字做作业外,生活上完全不能自理。
One late night,he suffered from diarrhea1 and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back the dorm to wait. But being so tired,his younger brother fell asleep,leing him on the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. As the two brothers grew up together,they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day,his younger brother wanted to live separate from him,living his own life,as many normal people do. So he was heart-broken and didn't know what to do.
有一次,他因肠胃不好,半夜起来要上厕所,于是他叫醒了弟弟。弟弟帮着他进了厕所后,就回宿舍躺下了。由于太劳累,弟弟闭上眼就睡着了。结果他在厕所里等了整整两个小时,才被查夜的老师发现。慢慢长大了的两兄弟也有了烦恼和争执,有一天弟弟终于提出要离开他,因为弟弟要和很多正常人一样需要过自己的生活。为此,他很伤心,不知如何是好。
A similar misfortune befell a girl,too. One night her mother,who suffered from chronic2 mental illness diseared. So her father went out looking for her mother,leing her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents,only to overturn the kerosene3 light on the stove,resulting in a fire which took her hands away.
无独有偶,另一个女孩也有着同样的遭遇。因为妈妈长期患有,在一天晚上无故出走,爸爸去找妈妈了,家中便只留下她一人。她决定做好饭菜等爸爸妈妈回来吃,却不小心将灶台上的煤油灯打翻,结果双手便被大火夺走了。
Though her elder sister who was studying in another city,showed her willingness to take care of her,she was determined to be completely independent. At school,she always studied hard. Most of all she learned to be self-reliant. Once she wrote the following in her composition:“I am lucky. Though I lost my arms,I still he legs;I am lucky. Though my wings are broken,my heart can still fly.”
虽然在外地读书的姐姐愿意照顾她,可倔强的她一定要自己照顾自己。在学校,她不但读书认真,更重要的是她学会了生活自理。她曾在一篇作文里写道:我幸福,虽然断了双手,但我还拥有一双脚;我幸福,虽然翅膀断了,但心也要飞翔……
One day,the boy and the girl were both invited to ear on a television interview program. The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own,whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote:My younger brother's arms are my arms;while the girl wrote: Broken wings,flying heart.
有一天,他们被一家电视台邀请到了演播室。面对主持人,男孩表现出了对前途的迷茫,而女孩则对生活充满了热情。主持人要求他们分别在一张白纸上写一句话。他们分别用脚趾头夹起了笔,男孩写的是:弟弟的手便是我的手。女孩却写下了:翅膀断了,心也要飞翔。
They had both endured the same ordeal4,but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unpredictable5. Disasters can strike at any time. How you handle misfortune when confronted with it,is the true test of your character. If you choose only to complain and escape from the ordeal,it will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong,the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.
他们俩都经受了同样的苦难,但不同的人生态度却决定了其生活的本质。是的,人生多变幻,苦难总是在不知不觉中骤然降临。如何应对苦难,是对你的性格的真正考验。面对苦难,如果选择抱怨与逃避,苦难就永远如影随形;但如果选择坚强,苦难便会化作甘泉,滋润美好的希望。

A Pair of Socks一双袜子
One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Avenue, when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks. I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye, and a boy clerk who could not he been more than seven years old came forward. “What can I do for you, sir?” “I wish to buy a pair of socks.” His eyes glowed. There was a note of passion in his voice. “Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks?” I had not been aware of that, as my entrance had been accidental. “Come with me,” said the boy, ecstatically. I followed him to the rear of the shop, and he began to haul down from the shelves box after box, displaying their contents for my delectation.
“Hold on, lad, I am going to buy only one pair!” “I know that,” said he, “but I want you to see how marvelously beautiful these are. Aren’t they wonderful?” There was on his face an expression of solemn and holy rapture, as if he were revealing to me the mysteries of his religion. I became far more interested in him than in the socks. I looked at him in amazement. “My friend,” said I, “if you can keep this up, if this is not merely the enthusiasm that comes from novelty, from hing a new job, if you can keep up this zeal and excitement day after day, in ten years you will own every sock in the United States.”
My amazement at his pride and joy in salesmanship will be easily understood by all who read this article. In many shops the customer has to wait for someone to wait upon him. And when finally some clerk does deign to notice you, you are made to feel as if you were interrupting him. Either he is absorbed in profound thought in which he hates to be disturbed or he is skylarking with a girl clerk and you feel like apologizing for thrusting yourself into such intimacy.
He displays no interest either in you or in the goods he is paid to sell. Yet possibly that very clerk who is now so apathetic began his career with hope and enthusiasm. The daily grind was too much for him; the novelty wore off; his only pleasures were found outside of working hours. He became a mechanical, not inspired, salesman. After being mechanical, he became incompetent; then he saw younger clerks who had more zest in their work, promoted over him. He became sour. That was the last stage. His usefulness was over.
I he observed this melancholy decline in the lives of so many men in so many occupations that I he come to the conclusion that the surest road to failure is to do things mechanically. There are many teachers in schools and colleges who seem duller than the dullest of their pupils; they go through the motions of teaching, but they are as impersonal as a telephone.
一个晴朗的下午,我沿第五大街而行,忽然想起需要买双袜子?我拐进看到的第一家袜店,一个不到17岁的少年售货员迎上来:“先生,我能为您效劳吗?” “我想买双短袜?” 他双眸满是热情,声音饱含:“您知道您来到了世界上最好的袜店吗?”我倒并未意识到这点,我不过是随便进来的? “随我来,”男孩欣喜若狂地说?我跟着他往里走?他开始从货架上拽下一个又一个盒子,向我展示里面的袜子,让我欣赏?
“停一停,孩子,我只买一双!”“我知道,”他说,“但我想让您瞧瞧这些袜子是多么漂亮?令人赞叹!难道它们不棒吗!”他的脸色庄严而虔诚,就像是在向我透露他的信仰中的奥秘似的?我对他远远超过了对袜子的兴趣?我吃惊地打量着他?“我的朋友,” 我说,“如果你能这样保持下去,如果这热情并不仅仅缘于新奇,缘于找到份新工作,如果你能日复一日地保持这种热心和,不出十年,全美的每一双袜子都将是从你手中卖出去的?”
我对他推销时的自豪与欣喜所感到的诧异,读者诸君当不难理解?在很多店铺,顾客不得不等待有人来招呼?当终于有个售货员肯屈尊理你,那样子又让你感觉像是打扰了他?他不是陷于讨厌被人搅扰的深思之中,就是和女售货员嬉戏调笑;而你不适时的插入打断了他们的亲昵,为此你感觉好像需要道歉似的?
他显示出对你和他拿着工资去卖的东西毫无兴趣?然而,就是这样一个如此冷漠的售货员,或许当初也是满怀希望和热情开始工作的?天天枯燥乏味的苦差事令他不堪忍受,新鲜感磨去了,惟一的乐趣只能在工作之外找到?他成了一个机械的?没有干劲的售货员?机械呆板之后便是笨拙无能?随后,看到比他年轻?工作热情比他高的售货员得到了提拔,在他之上,他于是变得烦躁刻薄?此时便到了他职业生涯的最后阶段?他不再有用了?
我观察到,很多职业中的太多人在人生道路上都有这种可悲的堕落?由此我得出结论:机械地应付差事是离失败最近的路?大中小学里的许多教师,似乎比他们最最迟钝的学生还要呆滞;他们似乎也搞搞教学,却毫无人的感情,就如同一部电话机?

有感于青春常在
No young man believes he will ever die. It was a saying of my brother's, and a fine one.
There is a feeling of Eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods. One half of time indeed is flown — the other half remains in store for us with all its countless treasures, for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. We make the coming age our own —
The vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
Death, old age, are words without a meaning that pass by us like the idea air which we regard not. Others may he undergone, or may still be liable to them — we “bear a charmed life”, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. As in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward —
Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
And see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance. So, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations, nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. We he as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. We look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseless progress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the gre. It is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedness of our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. Our short-lives connexion with existence we fondly flatter ourselves is an indissoluble and lasting union — a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. As infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us — we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more — objects press around us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we he no room for the thoughts of death.
年轻人不相信自己会死。这是我哥哥的话,可算得一句妙语。青春有一种永生之感——它能弥补一切。人在青年时代好像一尊永生的神明。诚然,生命的一半已经消逝,但蕴藏着不尽财富的另一半还有所保留,我们对它也抱着无穷的希望和幻想。未来的时代完全属于我们——
无限辽阔的远景在我们面前展现。
死亡,老年,不过是空话,毫无意义;我们听了,只当耳边风,全不放在心上。这些事,别人也许经历过,或者可能要承受——但我们自己“冥冥中有神保佑”,对于诸如此类脆弱的念头,统统付之轻蔑的一笑。像是刚刚走上愉快的旅程,极目远眺——
向远方的美景欢呼!
——此时,但觉好风光应接不暇,而且,前程更有美不胜收的新鲜景致。在这生活的开端,我们听任自己的志趣驰骋,放手给它们一切满足的机会。到此为止,我们还没有碰上过什么障碍,也没有感觉到什么疲惫,因此觉得还可以一直这样向前走去,直到永远。我们看到四周一派新天地——生机盎然,变动不居,日新月异;我们觉得自己活力充盈,精神饱满,可与宇宙并驾齐驱。而且,眼前也无任何迹象可以证明,在大自然的发展过程中,我们自己也会落伍,衰老,进入坟墓。由于年轻人天真单纯,可以说是茫然无知,因而将自己跟大自然划上等号;并且,由于经验少而感情盛,误以为自己也能和大自然一样永世长存。我们一厢情愿,痴心妄想,竟把自己在世上的暂时栖身,当作千古不变、万事长存的结合,好像没有冷淡、争执、离别的蜜月。像婴儿带着微笑入睡,我们躺在用自己编织成的摇篮里,让大千世界的万籁之声催哄我们安然入梦;我们急切切、兴冲冲地畅饮生命之杯,怎么也不会饮干,反而好像永远是满满欲溢;森罗万象纷至沓来,各种欲望随之而生,使我们腾不出工夫想死亡。

雨雪时候的星辰
Bing Xin
冰心
The thermometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero,but still chose to sleep in the porch as usual. In the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the sky. Though they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots,yet I had become so accustomed to them that their occasional absence would bring me loneliness and ennui.
寒暑表降到冰点下18度的时候,我们也是在廊下睡觉。每夜最熟识的就是天上的星辰了。也不过是点点闪烁的光明,而相看惯了,偶然不见,也有些想望与无聊。
It had been snowing all night, not a single scar in sight. My roommate and I,each wred in a quilt, were seated far apart in a different corner of the porch, facing each other and chatting away.
连夜雨雪,一点星光都看不见。荷和我拥衾对坐,在廊子的两角,遥遥谈话。
She exclaimed pointing to something afar, "Look, Venus in rising!?I looked up and saw nothing but a lamp round the bend in a mountain path. I beamed and said pointing to a tiny lamplight on the opposite mountain, "It's Jupiter over there!?
荷指着说:?你看维纳斯(Venus)升起来了!?我抬头望时,却是山路转折处的路灯。我恰然一笑,也指着对山的一星灯火说:?那边是丘比特(Jupiter)呢!?
More and more lights came into sighs as we kept pointing here and there. Lights from hurricane lamps flickering about in the pine forest created the scene of a star-studded sky. With the distinction between sky and forest obscured by snowflakes, the numerous lamp-lights now easily passed for as many stars.
愈指愈多。松林中射来零乱的风灯,都成了满天星宿。真的,雪花隙里,看不出来天空和森林的界限,将繁灯当作繁星,简直是抵得过。
Completely lost in a make-believe world,I seemed to see all the lamplights drifting from the ground. With the illusory stars hanging still overhead, I was spared the effort of tracing their positions when l woke up from my dreams in the dead of night.
一念至诚的将作真,灯光似乎都从地上飘起。这幻成的星光,都不移动,不必半夜梦醒时,再去追寻他们的位置。
Thus I found consolation even on a lonely snowy night!
于是雨雪寂寞之夜,也有了慰安了!

荷塘月色
Zhu Ziqing
朱自清
The last few days he found me very restless. This evening as I sat in the yard to enjoy the cool,it struck me how different the lotus pool I pass every day must look under a full moon. The moon was sailing higher and higher up the heens, the sound of childish laughter had died away from the lane beyond our wall, and my wife was in the house patting Juner and humming a lullaby to him. I quietly slipped on a long gown, and walked out leing the door on the latch.
这几天心里颇不宁静。今晚在院子里坐着乘凉,日日走过的荷塘,在这满月的光里,总该另有一番样子吧。月亮渐渐地升高了,墙外马路上孩子们的欢笑,已经听不见了;妻在屋里拍着闰儿,迷迷糊糊地哼着眠歌。我悄悄地披了大衫,带上门出去。
A cinder-path winds along by the side of the pool. It is off the beaten track and few pass this way even by day, so at night it is still more quiet. Trees grow thick and bosky all around the pool,with willows and other trees I cannot name by the path. On nights when there is no moon the track is almost terrifyingly dark,but tonight it was quite clear, though the moonlight was pale.
沿着荷塘,是一条曲折的小煤屑路。这是一条幽僻的路;白天也少人走,夜晚更加寂寞。荷塘四面,长着许多树,菊赞郁郁的。路的一旁,是些杨柳,和一些不知道名字的树。没有月光的晚上,这路上阴森森的,有些怕人。今晚却很好,虽然月光也还是淡淡的。
Strolling alone down the path,hands behind my back, I felt as if the whole earth and sky were mine and I had stepped outside my usual self into another world. I like both excitement and stillness,under the full moon,I could think of whatever I pleased or of nothing at all,and that ge me a sense of freedom. All daytime duties could be disregarded. That was the advantage of solitude: I could sour to the full that expanse of fragrant lotus and the moonlight.
路上只我一个人,背着手踱着。这一片天地好像是我的;我也像超出了平常的自己,到了另一世界里。我爱热闹,也爱冷静;爱群居,也爱独处。像今晚上,一个人在这苍茫的月下,什么都可以想,什么都可以不想,便觉是个自由的人。白天里一定要做的事,一定要说的话,现在都可不理。这是独处的妙处,我且受用这无边的荷香月色好了。
As far as the eye could see, the pool with its winding margin was covered with trim lees, which rose high out of the water like the flared skirts of dancing girls. And starring these tiers of lees were white lotus flowers, alluringly open or bashfully in bud, like glimmering pearls, stars in an azure sky, or beauties fresh from the bath. The breeze carried past gusts of fragrance,like the strains of a song faintly heard from a far-off tower. And lees and blossoms trembled slightly, while in a flash the scent was carried away. As the closely serried lees bent, a tide of opaque emerald could be glimpsed. That was the softly running water beneath,hidden from sight, its colour invisible, though the lees looked more graceful than ever.
曲曲折折的荷塘上面,弥望的是田田的叶子。叶子出水很高,像亭亭的舞女的裙。层层的叶子中间,零星地点缀着些白花,有袅娜地开着的,有羞涩地打着朵儿的;正如一粒粒的明珠,又如碧天里的星星,又如刚出浴的美人。微风过处,送来缕缕清香,仿佛远处高楼上渺茫的歌声似的。这时候叶子与花也有一丝的颤动,像闪电般,霎时传过荷塘的那边去了。叶子本是肩并肩密密地挨着,这便宛然有了一道凝碧的波痕。叶子底下是脉脉的流水,遮住了,不能见一些颜色;而叶子却更见风致了。
Moonlight cascaded like water over the lotus lees and flowers,and a light blue mist floating up from the pool made them seem washed in milk or caught in a gauzy dream. Though the moon was full,a film of pale clouds in the sky would not allow its rays to shine through brightly; but I felt this was all to the good?though refreshing sleep is indispensable, short naps he a charm all their own. As the moon shone from behind them,the dense trees on the hills threw checkered shadows,dark forms loomed like devils,and the sparse, graceful shadows of willows seemed painted on the lotus lees. The moonlight on the pool was not uniform,but light and shadow made up a harmonious rhythm like a beautiful tune played on a violin.
月光如流水一般,静静地泻在这一片叶子和花上。薄薄的青雾浮起在荷塘里。叶子和花仿佛在牛乳中洗过一样;又像笼着轻纱的梦。虽然是满月,天上却有一层淡淡的云,所以不能朗照;但我以为这恰是到了好处?酣眠固不可少,小睡也别有风味的。月光是隔了树照过来的,高处丛生的灌木,落下参差的斑驳的黑影,峭楞楞如鬼一般;弯弯的杨柳的稀疏的倩影,却又像是画在荷叶上。塘中的月色并不均匀;但光与影有着和谐的旋律,如梵婀玲上奏着的名曲。
Far and near, high and low around the pool were trees,most of them willows. These trees had the pool entirely hemmed in,the only small clearings left being those by the path,arently intended for the moon. All the trees were somber as dense smoke, but among them you could make out the luxuriant willows, while faintly above the tree-tops loomed distant hills-their general outline only. And between the trees eared one or two street lamps, listless as the eyes of someone drowsy. The liveliest sounds at this hour were the cicadas chirruping on the trees and the frogs croaking in the pool;but this animation was theirs alone, I had no part in it.
荷塘的四面,远远近近,高高低低都是树,而杨柳最多。这些树将一片荷塘重重围住;只在小路一旁,漏着几段空隙,像是特为月光留下的。树色一例是阴阴的,乍看像一团烟雾;但杨柳的风姿,便在烟雾里也辨得出。树梢上隐隐约约的是一带远山,只有些大意罢了。树缝里也漏着一两点路灯光,没精打的,是渴睡人的眼。这时候最热闹的,要数树上的蝉声与水里的蛙声;但热闹是它们的,我什么也没有。
Then lotus-gathering flashed into my mind. This was an old custom south of the Yangtse, which arently originated very early and was most popular in the period of the Six Kingdoms, as we see from the songs of the time. The lotus were picked by girls in small boats, who sang haunting songs as they padded. They turned out in force,we may be sure, and there were spectators too, for that was a cheerful festival and a romantic one. We he a good account of it in a poem by Emperor Yuan of the Liang dynasty called Lotus Gatherers:
忽然想起莲的事情来了。莲是江南的旧俗,似乎很早就有,而六朝时为盛;从诗歌里可以约略知道。莲的是少年的女子,她们是荡着小船,唱着艳歌去的。莲人不用说很多,还有看莲的人。那是一个热闹的季节,也是一个风流的季节。梁元帝《莲赋》里说得好:
Deft boys and pretty girls
reach an understanding while boating;
Their prows veer slowly,
but the winecups pass quickly;
Their oars are entangled,
as they cut through the duckweed,
and girls with slender waists
turn to gaze behind them.
Now spring and summer meet,
lees are tender, flowers fresh;
with smiles they protect their silks,
drawing in their skirts, afraid lest the boat upset.
于是妖童媛女,
荡舟心许;
鹅首徐回,
兼传羽杯;
摧将移而藻挂,
船欲动而萍开。
尔其纤腰束素,
迁延顾步;
夏始春余,
叶嫩花初,
恐沾裳而浅笑,
畏倾船而敛据。
There we he a picture of these merry excursions. This must he been a delightful event, and it is a great pity we cannot enjoy it today.
可见当时嬉游的光景了。这真是有趣的事,可惜我们现在早已无福消受了。
I also remember some lines from the poem West lslet:
于是又记起《西洲曲》里的 句子 :
When they gather lotus at Nantang in autumn
the lotus blooms are higher than their heads;
They stoop to pick lotus seeds,
seeds as translucent as water.
莲南塘秋,莲花过人头;低头弄莲子,莲子清如水。
If any girls were here now to pick the lotus,the flowers would reach above their heads too-ah,rippling shadows alone are not enough! I was feeling quite homesick for the south,when I suddenly looked up to discover I had reached my own door. Pushing it softly open and tiptoeing in,I found all quiet inside, and my wife fast asleep.
今晚若有莲人,这儿的莲花也算得?过人头?了;只不见一些流水的影子,是不行的。这令我到底惦着江南了。?这样想着,猛一抬头,不觉已是自己的门前;轻轻地推门进去,什么声息也没有,妻已睡熟好久了。

海上日出
Ba Jin
巴金
I would often get up early to watch the sunrise when it was not yet quiet light and all was quiet except for the droning of the ship engine.
为了看日出,我常常早起。那时天还没有大亮,周围非常清静,船上只有机器的响声。
The sky was pale with a bluish blue. Soon a streak of pink dawn broke over the horizon,expanding gradually and becoming brighter and brighter. Knowing that the sun was about to rise, I had my eyes fixed on the distant edge of the sea.
天空还是一片浅蓝,颜色很浅。转眼间天边出现了一道红霞,慢慢地在扩大它的范围,加强它的亮光。我知道太阳要从天边升起来了,便不转眼地望着那里。
As expected, the sun soon eared revealing half of its face, which was very red but not bright It kept rising laboriously bit by bit as if weighted down with a hey burden on its back until,after breaking through the rosy clouds;it completely emerged from the sea aglow with a lovely red. Then,before I knew it, the dark red orb began to shine blazingly, dazzling my eyes until they stung and all of a sudden lighting up the surrounding cloud.
果然过了一会儿,在那个地方出现了太阳的小半边脸,红是真红,却没有亮光。这个太阳好像负着重荷似的一步一步、慢慢地努力上升,到了最后,终于冲破了云霞,完全跳出了海面,颜色红得非常可爱。一刹那间,这个深红的圆东西,忽然发出了夺目的亮光,射得人眼睛发痛,它旁边的云片也突然有了光彩。
Sometimes,hidden by the clouds, the sun nonetheless shed its rays straight onto the sea water, making it difficult for me to distinguish between the sky and the sea because what I saw in front of me was nothing but a wide expanse of brilliant light.
有时太阳走进了云堆中,它的光线却从云里射下来,直射到水面上。这时候要分辨出哪里是水,哪里是天,倒也不容易,因为我就只看见一片灿烂的亮光。
Sometimes, with thick layers of dark clouds hanging in the sky, the sun was hardly visible to the naked eye. But its radiance managed to show through the dark clouds to edge them with golden lace. Then, after gradually breaking through the tight encirclement, it came into full view and even dyed the dark clouds purple or scarlet. At the moment, apart from the sun,the clouds and the seawater, I too was luminous.
有时天边有黑云,而且云片很厚,太阳出来,人眼还看不见。然而太阳在黑云里放射的光芒,透过黑云的重围,替黑云镶了一道发光的金边。后来太阳才慢慢地冲出重围,出现在天空,甚至把黑云也染成了紫色或者红色。这时候发亮的不仅是太阳、云和海水,连我自己也成了明亮的了。
Wasn't that a marvelous spectacle?
这不是很伟大的奇观么?

篇一
No Problem
No Problem没问题
A bald man took a seat in a beauty shop. "How can I help you?" asked the stylist. "I went for a hair transplant," the guy explained, "but I couldn't stand the pain. If you can make my hair look like yours without causing me any disfort, I'll pay you $5,000." "No problem," said the stylist, and he quickly shed his head.
一个秃头的男人坐在理发店里。发型师问:“有什么可以帮你吗?”那个人解释说:“我本来要去做头发移植,但实在太疼了。如果你能够让我的头发看起来像你的一样,而且没有任何痛苦,我将付给你5000美元。”
“没问题,”发型师说,然后他很快帮自己剃了个光头。
篇二
你是在开玩笑吗?
Are you kidding me?
你是在开玩笑吗?
Are you kidding me? 注意 kid ***开玩笑***这个词还是个及物动词,可以直接在后面加宾语, 而不必说成 Are you kidding on me? 讲这句话的时候多半是表示自己对对方的话不太相信,同时也表现出自己的惊讶。同样的你也可以说You must be kidding.
另外当别人似乎是在开玩笑时,老美也喜欢说Really? 这个词有两种念法,如果你把 really 的尾音上扬,表示出的是一种怀疑的语气,可能对对方说的事情还很怀疑,但如果尾音下沉,则是表示出一种惊讶,但对对方所说的事情基本上已经是没有怀疑的。

What she said hurt the friend so much that this good woman was herself hurt for the pain she caused . In an effort to undo what she had done , she went to an older ,wise woman in the village, explained her situation ,and asked for advice.
一位善良的女人一天说了一些话伤害了她最好的有多年友情的朋友;她话一出口就后悔了,她想做任何事来收回她的话。她的话伤害朋友如此之深,以至于这个善良的女人为自己给朋友造成痛苦而伤心不已。为了努力消除自己所做错事的影响,她拜访本村一位有智慧的年长妇女,介绍她的现状,寻求解决办法。
Listening to her ,the older woman sensed the younger woman's distress and knew she must help her . She also knew she could never alleviate the pain , but she could teach . She knew the oute would depend solely on the character of the younger woman . She said ,"Tonight ,take your best feather pillows and put single feather on the doorstep of each house in the town before the sun rises."
听着年轻女的述说,年长女感觉到年轻女的忧伤,并且意识到自己得帮助年轻女。年长女知道她不可能减轻年轻女的伤痛,但她可以让年轻女从中吸取教训。她明白事情的结果只能是取决于年轻女的性格。她说:“今晚,拆开你最好的羽毛枕头,在太阳升起之前,在本镇每家的门阶上放一根羽毛。”

“现在”,年长女说道,“回去再用你放在每家台阶上的羽毛把枕头填满,然后,一切事情就象是没有发生过,一如往昔。
"You know that's impossible! the wind blew away each feather as fast as I placed them on the doorsteps!" the young woman was surprised .
“你知道这是不可能的!我把羽毛一放在台阶上,风就把它们吹跑了!”年轻女非常惊讶年长女这个建议。
"That's true," said the older woman." never forget. each of your words is like a feather in the wind. once spoken, no amount of effort, regardless how heartfelt or sincere, can never return them to your mouth. Choose your words well and guard them most of all the presence of those of you love."
“没错。”年长女说道,“你要永远记住,你的每句话就象是风中的羽毛,覆水难收。一旦不计后果,话已说出,尽管你的愿望是如何真心、如何诚意,但说话如沷水不可收回。适当选择你的话,并且当心你的话,特别特别是在那些为你所爱的人面前。”

英语励志美文:第二次生命的启示
拉尔夫.里士满
A New Look from Borrowed Time By Ralph Richmond
Just ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a stethoscope. “Yes,” he said, “there is a lesion in the left, upper lobe. You he a moderately advanced case…” I listened, stunned, as he continued, “You’ll he to give up work at once and go to bed. Later on, we’ll see.” He ge me no assurances.
十年前的一天,我坐在一名手持听诊器的医生对面。“你的左肺叶上部确实有一处坏损,而且病情正在恶化”——听到这里,我整个人一下懵了。“你必须停止工作卧床休息,有待观察。”医生对我的病情也是不置可否。
Feeling like a man who in mid-career has suddenly been placed under sentence of death with an indefinite reprieve, I left the doctor’s office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a bench, perhaps, as I then told myself, for the last time. I needed to think. In the next three days, I cleared up my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, but the months. two and a half years and many dashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was another year before I made it.
就这样,事业方面方兴未艾的我仿佛突然被人判了,却说不准何时执刑。我离开医生的办公室,来到公园的长椅上坐下。这也许是最后一次来这儿了,我对自己说。我真得好好整理一下思绪。接下来的三天我把手头的事务全部处理完毕。我回到家,躺到床上,然后把手表从显示分钟改为显示月份。两年半的时间过去了,在无数次的失望之后,我终于可以离开病床,艰难地向从前的生活状态回归。一年之后,我做到了。
I speak to this experience because these years that past so slowly taught me what to value and what to believe. They said to me: Take time, before time takes you. I realize now that this world I’m living in is not my oyster to be opened but my opportunity to be grasped. Each day, to me, is a precious entity. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to fill.
我之所以谈起这段经历,是因为那段度日如年的岁月让我懂得应该珍惜什么,信仰什么。那段岁月让我明白一个道理:牢牢抓住时间,而不是让时间将你套牢。现在我终于明白,我生活着的这个世界不是等待我去打开的一扇牡蛎,而是需要我去抓住的一个机会。每一天我都视若珍宝,每一轮太阳带给我的崭新的二十四小时都鲜活而精彩,我绝不可将其虚度。
I’ve learned to reciate those little, all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on running water, the music of the wind in my forite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered freshness of childhood. How well, for instance, I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was almost more than I could bear. It was like regaining one’s citizenship in a world one had nearly lost.
从前,我终日忙碌,无暇顾及生活中某些重要的细节,诸如水波上的光影,松林间的风吟——现在,我终于学会去欣赏它们的美好。如今,我仿佛重返童年,又觉得自己所见所闻所感的一切都那么新鲜。当我卧床数年后重新将双脚踏在大地上的那一刻,脚下那久违了的松软土壤让我激动得情难自抑,仿佛重新拥有我差一点就失去的世界。
Frequently, I sit back and say to myself, Let me make note of this moment I’m living right now, because in it I’m well, hy, hard at work doing what I like best to do. It won’t always be like this, so while it is I’ll make the most of it—and afterwards, I remember—and be grateful. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the sidelines of life. Wiser people come to this awareness without hing to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn’t wise enough. I’m wiser now, a little, and hier.
我现在时常舒舒服服地坐着,提醒自己要记住当下的每分每秒,因为现在的我健康、快乐,能努力做自己最爱做的工作。这一切如此美好,却终将消逝,在如此美好的生活消逝之前,我一定要倍加珍惜。在它逝去之后,我会记得曾经拥有的美好,并心存感激。这一切改变都得益于我在生命边缘徘徊的那几年。智者无需被逼到如此境地也能明白这些道理——可惜我从前太愚钝。现在的我比从前多了几分睿智,我也因此更加快乐。
“Look thy last on all things lovely, every hour.” With these words, Walter de la Mare sums up for me my philosophy and my belief. God made this world—in spite of what man now and then tries to do to unmake it—a dwelling place of beauty and wonder, and He filled it with more goodness than most of us suspect. And so I say to myself, Should I not pretty often take time to absorb the beauty and the wonder, to contribute a least a little to the goodness? And should I not then, in my heart, give thanks? Truly, I do. This I believe.
英国诗人沃尔特.德拉.梅尔曾说过:“时刻记住,最后看一眼所有美好的事物!”这句诗正好 总结 了我的人生哲学与信仰。上帝创造的这个世界——这个人类时常试图毁灭的世界——是个美丽奇妙的家园。这里充满了上帝所赐予的美好事物,超过我们大多数人的想象。我于是常常自问,难道自己不应该去细细品味这些美丽与奇迹,尽绵薄之力去创造世间的美好吗?难道我不应心存感激吗?我确实应该——这就是我的信仰。
英语励志美文:奉献是支付租金
李·黑斯廷斯·布里斯托尔
Paying the Rent of Service By Lee Bristol
In a complex society and a complex civilization, the individual is inevitably confused much of the time. But I believe that the basic solution of all world and group problems must first be solved by the individual himself. Each one of us, whether we publicly admit it or not, has a deeply spiritual side. Not one of us can conceal it—scratch the surface and it’s always there. So first of all—and underlying all my credo—I believe in God and in an orderly universe.
人类生活在复杂的社会和文明中,总会不可避免地感到困惑。然而,我相信:人类自身才是解决全世界和群体问题的根本,无论是否公开承认,每个人的内心深处都藏着一个精神家园。揭开覆盖在它表层的东西,它永远在那里,没有人能够将其隐藏。我相信上帝和有序的宇宙,这是我所有信条中的第一个。
As a mortal, passing through this life for just a limited period of time, I believe that hiness is a truly basic objective—hiness for one’s self and, hopefully, hiness for others. It hasn’t taken too much living on my part to discover that real hiness, which sounds so selfish and so self-centered, is never achieved merely by selfish materialism—it can only he depth and real satisfaction if it is bound up with unselfishness—with a consideration for others. Service is the very essence of it. It has been said that “service is the rent we pay for our place on earth.” That kind of service brings the true hiness that we all seek.
生命是有限的,我相信,人类应该为自己追求幸福,同时也为他人带去幸福,这才是人类真正要追求的最基本的生活目标。回顾自己丰富的生活阅历,我明白了,真正的幸福似乎是自私和以自我为中心。但是,那些牟取私利、满足个人物质需要的人永远不会拥有真正的幸福。只有当幸福与无私、体谅他人联系在一起时,这种幸福才会是有深度、真正令人满意的幸福。幸福的本质是奉献,这种奉献带来了我们所有人所追求的真正幸福。曾经有人说过这样的话:“幸福是我们为在地球上占据的空间而支付的租金。”
The antithesis of all this is selfishness, which is outstandingly the greatest world-wide vice. It seems though all the world had the “gimmies,” selfishly grasping for power, and more and more, at national levels, with individuals selfishly struggling for material things at their own level.
自私自利是世界上最令人憎恶的恶行,它是一切幸福的对立面。世界的每一个角落似乎都存在着这种恶行,国家之间对于权利的贪婪追求,人与人之间为了物质财富而进行的斗争。
Each one of us needs a sense of humor with its balancing factor of a sense of proportion. I believe a sense of humor brings poise and a start towards understanding.
每个人都需要一种幽默感和分寸感,我相信幽默感是理解的开端,能够使人类沉着、冷静。
My credo embraces a joyous roach for me toward my fellow man and for collective groups towards each other. I want none of that grim hellfire-and-brimstone stuff that flourished in the early days of our country—a religion of frightening fear of the hereafter. Why, even their old church pews were as uncomfortable as straitjackets! A joyous roach towards living even cheers you yourself—to say nothing of its warmth that eases the burdens of others.
我的信条是:同胞之间、群体之间应该快乐地相处。我反对我国早期曾盛行的宣扬残酷的地狱之火及战火这样的谬论,这让人类对来世的信仰产生了巨大恐惧。为什么连教堂里靠背椅的椅背都像件瘦小的外套,令人很不舒服!快乐地面对生活不但使自己感到高兴,还能温暖他人,减轻他人的生活负担。
I believe that brotherhood can grow from this to help destroy forever the seeds of friction and injustice that stem from group minority prejudices.
我相信,幸福能够产生兄弟情谊,有助于消除小群体偏见产生的冲突和不公平的苗头。
If only each one of us can develop a sound philosophy and work out a course of conduct as individuals, then I believe we can solve our world problems at the international level. Thomas Mann once ge this challenging definition: “War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.” With faith and good will in our hearts and with peace in our souls and minds, surely we can lee this world the better for our hing lived in it.
只要每个人都能确立一个正确的哲学观,制定出一套个人行为规范,我相信我们能够解决国际问题。托马斯·曼曾经提出了这样一条富有挑战性的定义:“战争只是对和平解决问题方式的逃避。”只要心中有信仰,有良好的愿望,只要思想和灵魂追求和平,我们就一定能够在有生之年让世界变得更加美好。
英语励志美文:人像一棵果树
埃尔默.霍姆斯.博布斯特
Man Is Like a Fruit Tree by Elmer H. Bobst
Once, while taking my boat down the inland waterway to Florida, I decided to tie up at Georgetown, South Carolina, for the night and visit with an old friend. As we roached the Esso dock, I saw him through my binoculars standing there awaiting us. Tall and straight as an arrow he stood, facing a cold, penetrating wind - truly a picture of a sturdy man, even though in his eighties. Yes, the man was our elder statesman, Bernard Baruch.
有一次,我沿着内河独自驾船前往佛罗里达州。到达南卡洛来纳的乔治敦时,我决定靠岸过夜,顺便去 拜访 一位老朋友。船一进埃松港,我就从望远镜中看到他站在那里等我们。朋友高而挺拔的身影像一支箭一样,站立在刺骨的寒风中,简直一幅健壮男子汉的画面,虽然画面中人已年过八旬。没错,他就是我们的老一辈政治家,伯纳德.巴鲁克。
He loaded us into his station wagon and we were off to his famous Hobcaw Barony for dinner. We sat and talked in the great living room where many notables and statesmen, including Roosevelt and Churchill, he sat and taken their cues. In his eighty-second year, still a human dynamo, Mr. Baruch talked not of the past but of present problems and the future, deploring our ignorance of history, economics and psychology. His only reference to the past was to tell me, with the wonderful sparkle in his eyes, that he was only able to get eight quail out of the ten shots the day before. What is the secret of this great man's value to the world? The answer is his insatiable desire to keep being productive.
伯纳德.巴鲁克的旅行轿车载着我们,径直驶向他那著名的霍布考大庄园用餐。我们就座谈话的大客厅,曾有包括罗斯福和丘吉尔在内的许多贵客与政治家光临,与他交谈,倾听他的意见。如今,巴鲁克先生虽已82岁,却依然活力充沛。他对过去缄口不提,只谈论现在与将来的问题,并为我们对历史学、经济学和心理学知识的匮乏而深表遗憾。他告诉我,昨天他只用10发就射中了8只鹌鹑,这也是他提到的唯一一件“往事”。说话时,他的双眼闪烁着令人愉快的光芒。这位伟大的人物对世界充满价值的奥秘何在?答案就是他对成就一如既往的追求。
Another friend of mine, the head of one of our largest corporations, a great steel company, is roaching his middle seventies, and he is still a great leader. He, too, never talks of the past. Instead, he tackles the problems of each day in his stride, brims with plans for the future and, incidentally, shoots in the low seventies on any golf course. He is a hy man because he is productive.
我的另一位朋友领导着一家最大的公司——一个大钢铁公司。年近75岁的他,依然是位优秀的领导者。他也从不谈及往昔,而是游刃有余地处理着每天的问题,头脑中想的满是对未来的。并且值得一提的是,70多岁的他,还会不时打打 高尔夫球 。他是个幸福的人,因为他有所成就。
Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, hing gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently, I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables, talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief requisites for hiness, then each one should he been hy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else there would not he been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased. When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.
人生在世最难完成的两件事就是:用诚实的努力获得财富,以及拥有财富后,学会如何正确地运用。最近,在一个相当知名的高尔夫俱乐部,我打完一轮球后走进衣帽间。当时已近黄昏,多数俱乐部成员都已经回家。然而,六七位年过中旬的人依然坐在桌边,漫无目的地闲聊着,喝得烂醉如泥。他们每天都是如此。令我无比惊奇的是,他们个个都曾是家财万贯,事业成功,在圈内备受尊敬的人。如果幸福的首要因素是物质财富,那么他们每个人都应该很幸福。+但是,我想,对他们来说,某种非常重要的东西已经失去了,不然他们又怎会逃避现实,每天用苏打水和苏格兰威士忌将自己灌得烂醉如泥?他们明白,自己已经无法突破现有的成就。一棵果树若不再结果便会枯死,人也如此。
What is the answer to a long and hy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eyes while I was thumbing through my Bible. The words were few but they became indelibly impressed on my mind: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread."
如何才能幸福长寿地生活在世上呢?我想,很早之前在翻阅《圣经》时,我就找到了答案。《创世纪》中有一段话引起了我的注意,它虽然简短,却在我脑海中留下了深刻的印象:“要想糊口,必要汗流满面。”
To me that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections. In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, he been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I he fought a good fight - he finished the course - I he kept the faith.
对我而言,它是最初的记忆,也是始终的挑战。实际上,对每个人来说,人生之役,生存之役,都是一种挑战。圣.保罗不朽的教诲,也一直并将永远鼓舞着我。但愿,在到达生命之途的终点时,我能够认为自己打了漂亮的一仗,不仅走完了人生的旅程,而且一如既往地坚持着自己的信仰。

爱是良药
It was the late 70s and we thought him almost a god, my school friends Helen and Anne and I. An actor-director undergraduate, impossibly tall, dark and drop dead gorgeous, he co-hosted a party every summer for which all the guests had to dress in white. Everything he did was cool and desirable. Until, in the 80s, a killer disease from America swept through the beautiful people like a scythe, and left him a wasted skeleton in a hospital bed. Anne managed to visit him and I meant to, really I did. But I couldn't quite believe there wasn't plenty of time. You see he seemed incapable, but incapable, of doing anything disagreeable.We need to be "more Christian to one another" over AIDS, Elton John said yesterday. An interesting phrase, given Mr John's introduction to this once devastating scourge.
他那时是演员兼导演专业的学生,皮肤黝黑、英俊高大。每年夏天他都会联合举办一次社交聚会,到场的来宾都必须身着白色衣服。他做的每一件事都十分出色、令人满意。直到八十年代,一种致命的疾病如镰刀般击倒了这位完美的人,他躺在医院的病床上,被病痛折磨成了一个骨瘦如柴的废人。安妮去看望了他,尽管我也十分想去,但我无法接受他将不久于人世。你也许觉得他看上去什么事也做不了,但他不会去做令人生厌的事。昨日,艾尔顿?约翰说在艾滋病的问题上,我们必须“像一样更加仁慈对待彼此”。考虑到约翰初次接触这一度被视为是毁灭性的灾难时的情形,他这样的表述十分有意思。
In 1985 he first read about and then met a bre young haemophiliac, Ryan White. When a journalist revealed that Ryan was dying of AIDS, not only was he banned from school and a judicial restraining order put on him to the cheers of neighbours, but his own church required him to sit in a separate pew, and on Easter Day no one in the congregation would shake his hand as a sign of peace. If this is the behiour of the church, why should we want to be more "Christian" towards one another? We hardly he an impeccable record, do we? Once when we had reached a very low ebb as a family, I asked my husband, in despair, "Why should we go on believing, when God doesn't answer prayer and Christians can behe worse than anybody?" All he said in reply was this. "Look at the character of Jesus. Who else do you think He could he been?" Not "Christian" theology. Far less the behiour of "Christian" sinners like ourselves. But the character of Christ.
1985年,约翰读到关于血友病患者瑞安?怀特的报道,并和他见面。当记者透露瑞安死于艾滋病时,约翰不仅被学校拒之门外,还收到了法律禁令,他的邻居都为此欣喜不已,就连他所在的教堂都要求他坐在单独的长椅上。到了复活节,会众中没有一个人跟他握手言和。如果这就是教堂的所作所为,为何我们要更“像”那样对待彼此呢?人无完人,不是吗?家庭遇到困境时,我曾绝望地问丈夫“既然上帝都不去回应人们的祷告,基督比任何人都要无情,为什么还要继续我们的信仰呢?”他的回答是:“看看耶稣的品格,你觉得除了他还有谁可以是上帝?”使他成为上帝的不是____所信仰的理论,更不是我们这有罪过的基督____言行,而是基督的品格。
My godmother ge me a Bible, in red tooled leather, which I had throughout my childhood and he still. At that moment I thought of its garish, dated children's pictures, a shepherd with long hair and a lamb across His shoulders. Who else could He he been? It's true, He could be angry. He was capable of condemning. He even talked of Judgement. But it's not for this that we remember Him. We remember a Man who loved a worker for indecently wiping His feet with her loose hair, who publicly befriended a fraudster worse than any recently discredited banker, who cured those whose illnesses made them even more untouchable than Ryan, ostracised by his society. Elton John's book is provocatively entitled, Love is the Cure. Not medicine, or science, or technology, it is love for which this God is known above all, extending an invitation into His kingdom to a terrorist hanging by His side. As Elton John said, Jesus, like Ryan who followed Him, "loved and forge unconditionally and died for the sake of others." A death even more disagreeable than my friend's all those years ago.
我的教母曾给了我一本红色书皮的圣经,我从儿时一直保存到现在。我想到书中艳丽、陈旧的 儿童 图画,上面画着长发的牧羊人,肩上坐着一只羊羔。除了他谁还能是上帝?的确,他可以发怒。他能做出审判。他甚至提到过裁决。但我们不是因此才纪念他。我们纪念的是一个男人:当性工作者不雅地用蓬乱的头发擦试他双脚时,他给予她爱;遇到名声比任何名誉扫地的银行家都要恶劣的犯时,他公然和他成为朋友;有人因疾病受到比瑞安更甚的排斥,他为他们治疗。艾尔顿?约翰为他的书起了一个有争议性的标题,《爱是良药》。并非药物,并非科学技术,而是爱让上帝为世人所知晓,让他邀请被绞死在他身侧的恐怖分子来到他的国度。正如艾尔顿?约翰所说,瑞安所追随的耶稣“无条件的热爱并宽恕着人们,为他人献身”,这样的死亡比数年前朋友去世更令人难受。
