譯文

有時候，我真的懷疑是否有我的父母之間的愛情。他們每天都非常忙于賺錢，為了支付高昂的學費我和弟弟。他們不采取行動，我在書中讀到，或在電視中看到的那樣互訴衷腸。他們認為， “我愛你”太奢侈，很難說出口。在情人節(jié)送一束花給對方更是無從談起。最后我父親的脾氣非常壞。當他從艱苦的工作很累，很容易讓他失去了他的脾氣。

有一天，母親正在縫被子。我靜靜地坐在她旁邊看著她。 “媽媽，我有一個問題要問你，”我一會兒后說。 “什么？”她回答說，還在做她的工作。 “有你和爸爸之間的愛情嗎？ ”我在一個非常低的聲音問她。我的母親突然停下了手中的工作，在她的眼里抬起頭驚訝。她沒有立即作答。然后低下頭，繼續(xù)縫被子。我很擔心，因為我以為我已經(jīng)傷害了她。我是在一個非常尷尬，我不知道我應該做的。不過，后來我聽見母親說了下面的話。

“蘇珊， ”她若有所思地說， “看看這個線程有時看得見，但是大多數(shù)都隱藏在被子里這些線使被子堅固耐用如果。生活就像一床被子，那么愛就是其中的線。你不可能隨時隨地看到它，但它確實存在。愛情就在里面�！�

我仔細地聽著，卻無法明白她直到來年的春天。當時，我父親得了重病。我的母親只好陪著他在醫(yī)院做了一個月。當他們回到醫(yī)院，他們都顯得非常蒼白。就像他們都得了一場重病。 再回來，每天的清晨或黃昏，母親都會攙扶著父親慢慢的走在他國家的道路。我的父親從未如此溫和。它似乎他們是最和諧的合作。在小路旁邊，有許多美麗的野花，綠草和樹木。太陽透過樹葉閃閃發(fā)光。在世界上所有的這些由最美麗的圖畫。醫(yī)生說父親將在兩個月后康復。但是兩個月之后，他仍然無法獨立行走。我們都很為他擔心。 “爸爸，你怎么現(xiàn)在感覺怎么樣？ ”我問他一天。 “蘇珊，不用為我擔心。 ”他溫和地說。 “跟你說實話，我只是喜歡走你的莫米，我喜歡這樣的生活。 ”從他的眼神，我知道他是愛我的母親深深。

我曾經(jīng)認為愛情就是鮮花，禮物和甜蜜的親吻。但是從那一刻起，我明白了，愛情只是一個廣告在我們的生活中被子里。愛情就在里面，使生活變得堅固而溫暖.

Bob Richard, the pole-vault champion, shares a story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart. Practice after practice, he gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys he got nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played. This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though his son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game.

This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father didn’t want to.

All through high school he never missed a practice or a game, but a bench warmer all four years. His father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him.

When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a walk-on. Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did.

有個正在度夏令營的小男孩，收到他媽媽寄給他的一盒香草餅干，這可是他最愛吃的東西了。他吃了幾塊，把剩下的小心翼翼地放到床下。第二天吃完午飯，小男孩走進帳篷，準備吃一塊美味的餅干。然而，他發(fā)現(xiàn)放餅干的盒子不見了，他急忙問有沒有人看到它。小男孩立即就把這個消息告訴了夏令營的老師。

其實，這個下午，這位老師就看到另外一個小男孩坐在樹下正吃著偷來的餅干。這個老師自言自語道：“必須要教會這個小男孩不可以偷東西，無論怎樣，他都不可以再偷了。”他想到了一個可以幫助他的新辦法，于是，他決定和這個小男孩談談。他回到小組，找到被偷餅干的小男孩。“比利，”他說：“我知道是誰偷了你的餅干，你能幫我去教育他一下嗎？”“好的，但是您不打算懲罰他嗎？”小男孩對這個情況很驚訝。

“不，那樣做只會使他恨你，”老師肯定的說到：“我想讓你去給你媽媽打個電話，讓她再給你寄一盒餅干�！�

這個小男孩照老師說的做了。幾天后，他又收到了一塑料盒郵寄來的餅干。

老師鼓勵他說：“現(xiàn)在那個偷你餅干的小男孩正坐在湖邊，你去那兒，和他一起吃餅干。”“但是，”這個小男孩不解地說，“他是個小偷。”

“我知道，”老實說，“這個可能既需要你信任他又需要有耐心，但是我希望你能接受老師的建議。別緊張，去試試吧，看看會怎樣。”

半小時后，這位老師高興地看到這兩個男孩臂挽臂來到了山上，顯然兩個人的意見已達成了一致。偷了餅干的小男孩執(zhí)意要給這個小男孩一把軍刀以此來交換他偷吃的餅干。這個小男孩真誠地拒絕了新朋友的禮物，他說這是沒有關(guān)系的，幾塊餅干一點都不重要，重要的是咱們建立的一生的友誼。

譯文

李叔叔和王叔叔是好朋友。他們是鄰居，并且他們的農(nóng)場都在南邊的山腳下。因此他們可以互相幫忙。但是他們兩人都不喜歡動腦筋，只喜歡做白日夢。盡管他們工作努力，也很勤快，卻都是貧窮的勞動者。大部分村民都建了新房子，而他們?nèi)匀蛔≡谟职�又破的房子里。他們倆的數(shù)學都不好，也很少能想出什么好主意。大部分人都認為他們有些瘋瘋癲癲。在四月初的一個周一的早晨，李叔叔往東區(qū)沿海城市給他的妻子買藥。在城市里，他聽說這里的西紅柿賣得很貴。他一回去就和王叔叔商量了這件事。他們決定運一批新鮮的西紅柿去城里的市場。他們從朋友那里借來一些錢，從村里帶了近一千公斤的西紅柿，用拖拉機運往城市。不幸運的是，當他們到達時，那里已經(jīng)運來了大量的西紅柿。幾天后，他們不得不低價賣了這些西紅柿。他們難過地回到了村里，低著頭，把賺到的一點點錢放進去抽屜里。李叔叔有一天問道：“我不明白為什么和其他人相比，我們做生意總是虧�！�

“可能是我們的拖拉機太小，沒什么優(yōu)勢。真可惜啊�！蓖跏迨宀唤�(jīng)思考地說道，“下次我們用卡車運更多的西紅柿，比以前多一倍，最大量的！”

Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.

Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and

bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor（拖拉機）. Bad luck! A lot of apples had already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price (價格)。They felt unhappy and returned to theirvillage. "I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day. "The tractor was too small " Uncle Wang said without thinking.

There Is Always a Better Way

好方法無處不在

A blind boy sat on the stone steps of a tower feet. With his gloved fingers, he put a flat board on the ground. Written in crayon, the handwriting said:”I?m, please help.” The hat wasA was

hat. He then took the board, turned it around, and printed some words on it with paint. He put the board back andA lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. Soon that hat began to afternoon the man who had the board came to see how things were. The boy heard his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my board this morning? What did you write?”

Theman said, “I only wrote a sentence with the but in a way tothe .”

He recited the text he had written:”Today is a beautiful autumn day and I cannot see it.”

Do you think the first board and the second board had the same ? Of course both boards that the boy had no .

But the first boardtold people that the boy was blind and to help by putting some money in the hat. The second board told people that they were , the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The second board that people were that they were not blind.

Should we be of words better to more from 譯文

有個盲人小男孩默默地坐在廣場里一座塔式大樓的臺階上，他的帽子放在腳邊。他戴著手套，將一塊扁平木板放在地面上，上面用蠟筆寫上了幾個字：“幫幫忙，我是一個盲人�！泵弊永飵缀跏强盏模�里面只有幾枚硬幣。

一個陌生人正好走過。他從口袋里掏出幾枚硬幣，丟進帽子里。然后，他拿起木板，把它轉(zhuǎn)過來，用顏料在上面印上了幾個字。他把木板又放了回去，并放到了一個較高的位置，這樣，路過的人都可以看到了。

越來越多的人把錢放進小男孩的帽子里。很快，帽子就被硬幣填滿了。這天下午，修改過木板的男人又來到了這里，看看事情怎么樣了。盲童聽出來腳步聲，問到：“您就是今早修改木板上字的那個先生吧？您在上面寫了什么呢？”

這個好心的男人說：“我只是寫了一句大實話。我把你寫的話換了一種方式寫出來，把你木板上的信息修改了一下，以此來引起人們的關(guān)注。那些字寫出了你的感受�！�

這位男士把他寫的話讀出來：“今天是個美麗的秋日，可是我看不見。”

你認為第一次寫的字和第二次寫的字是同一個意思嗎？當然，這兩次都說明一個事實，那就是這個小男孩失明了。

但第一次寫的話只是簡單告訴別人這個小男孩失明了，幫忙給他一點錢。而第二次寫的話告訴人們：你們可以看見如此美好的光明，而他卻不能。第二次寫的表達了這樣的含義：沒有失明的人是多么的幸運啊。

對于第二次，只是選擇了另外幾個字，就能引起人們的關(guān)注，并使他們付諸了行動，對此，我們應該感到驚訝嗎？
