6、ofsqueezedupagainsthimandpointedtothecar.他跑着上楼去了。然后一小会儿,保罗听到他回来的脚步声,但他没再用跑的了。保罗看见他正搀扶着他的跛脚的弟弟,他扶着他坐在最底层的台阶上,然后拥抱着他,指着这部车。Theresheis,buddy,justlikeItoldyouupstairs.HisbrothergaveittohimforChristmasanddidntcosthimeacent.Andsomeday,Imgonnagiveyouonejustlikeit.Thenyoucanseeforyourselfalltheprettiestthin
7、gsinthewindowsthatIwastryingtotellyouabout.小弟,那就是我在楼上跟你讲的那部车。他哥哥给他的圣诞礼物,不用花他一分钱。将来某天我也要给你一部像那样的车,那样你就能够本人去看我以前尽力想让你知道的那些窗边的圣诞饰品了。Paulgotoffandliftedtheladintothefrontofhiscar.Theshinningeyedoldbrothercrimbedinbesidehim.Andthreeofthembeganamemorableholidayride.保罗下车把跛脚的小孩抱上了车的前座,他的眼睛水灵灵的哥哥爬上了车,坐到了他旁边。

15、elightandfortune;thewellofpoisonedwater;thedesperationofoldage!金钱!这虚情假意之源;这虚假光明和命运之源;这毒鸩之源;这晚年时的绝望之源!Iwasstillwanderinginthevastdesertofcontemplationwhenaforlorncouplepassedbymeandsatonthegrass;ayoungmanandayoungwomanwhohadlefttheirfarmingshacksinthenearbyfieldsforthiscoolandsolitaryplace.在我浮想联翩之际,一
16、对潦倒的情侣经过我面前,然后坐在草地上;这又是一对青年男女,他们离开附近的田间农舍,来到这个清静的地方。Afterafewmomentsofcompletesilence,Iheardthefollowingwordsutteredwithsighsfromweather-bittenlipShednottearmybeloved;lovethatopensoureyesandenslavesourheartscangiveustheblessingofpatience.Beconsoledinourdelay,forwehavetakenanoathandenteredLovesshrine

18、;由于我们的爱会在逆境中茁壮成长;由于是在爱的名义之下,我们承受着贫困的折磨与分离的惨痛和空虚。亲爱的,再见了;在鼓舞人心的月亮落去之前,我该走了!Theyseparated,andtheelegytotheirunionwassmotheredbythewailsofmycryingheart.随后,他俩分了手,为他们奏起的重逢挽歌被我内心的哭喊重重压下。IlookeduponslumberingNature,andwithdeepreflectiondiscoveredtherealityofavastandinfinitethingsomethingnopowercoulddemand,
19、influenceacquire,norrichespurchase.Norcoulditbeeffacedbythetearsoftimeordeadenedbysorrow;athingwhichcannotbediscoveredbythebluelakesofSwitzerlandorthebeautifuledificesofItaly.我凝视着沉睡的大自然,深思之后参透了一样无边无际的东西一种用权利无法强求,用势力无法获得,用金钱也无法买到的东西;一种用时间的泪水所不能抹掉,悲戚不能冲淡的东西;一种不能为严冬的悲愁所扼杀的东西;一种在瑞士的蔚蓝湖畔、意大利的优美建筑所找不到的东西。
20、Itissomethingthatgathersstrengthwithpatience,growsdespiteobstaclewarmsinwinter,flourishesinspring,castsabreezeinsummer,andbearsfruitinautumnIfoundLove.它以耐心积聚气力,在重重困难中成长,在严冬获得暖和,在春天开花生长,在夏天送去柔柔清风,在秋天茂盛结果那就是爱情。人生的转角YouprobablydontknowMark,butyoumightbeluckyenoughtoknowsomeonejustlikehim.Hesbeenthehear

24、的方式不断向我们抛出曲线球。当我们刚开场和某人融洽相处,或是适应一个地方或一种境况时,某事就发生了,改变了一切。很好的邻居要搬家了;家里的某个成员毕业了;孩子找到新欢,在婚姻殿堂里寻获忠实;家里养家糊口的主力军被辞退了。Ourabilitytocopewithchangeanddisruptiondeterminetoagreatdegree,ourpeace,happinessandcontentmentinlife.我们应付变化以及混乱情况的能力很大程度上决定了我们生活的安定、幸福和满意度。Buthowdowedothat?Philosophershaveconsideredtheques

26、这个问题好几个世纪了,他们的回答各不一样。根据(s经旧约全书传道书)的作者,人们能够通过记住大千世界,万事万物皆有时来获得安慰。而卡里纪伯伦也曾敦促他的听众去让今日用记忆拥抱昨日,用渴望拥抱将来。Afriendofminewhoworksforthegovernmentisfondofremindinghisfellowbureaucratsthatsurvivabi-litydependsuponadaptability.AndthentheresChritheCaliforniasurf-rat,whooncetoldmethattheanswertolifesproblemscanbes
27、ummedupinfourwords:Gowiththeflow.我一个在政府工作的朋友喜欢提醒他的那帮官僚同事们生存取决于适应性。还有克里斯,加利福尼亚州的一位冲浪喜好者,他曾告诉我,生活中所有问题的答案都能归为四个字随遇而安。Itslikesurfing,Chrisexplained.Youcantorganizetheocean.Wavesjusthappen.Yourideemwheretheytakeyou,thenyoupaddlebackoutthereandcatchthenextone.Sure,yourealwayshopingfortheperfectwavewherey
28、oucanget,like,youknow,totallytubular.Butmostlyyoujusttakeemthewaytheycome.ItsnotlikeyouretryingtonailJell-Otoatree,youknow?就像冲浪,克里斯解释道,你无法掌控大海。波浪随意荡起。你乘着浪任其领着你向前冲,然后,你伏身于冲浪板往回划水至某处,接而踏乘下一个浪。当然,你总会希望等到那个完美的浪头,就像你知道的那种滚筒浪。但大多数情况,也就是随波逐流,这不是什么登天难事,你知道的。Imnotexactlysure,butIthinkChriswassayingthatlifeis

30、无法控制的因素影响着我们的生活。真正的成功者料想到意料之外的事总会发生,并做好准备在必要时做出调整而这样的情况经常发生。Thatdoesntmeanyoudontkeeptryingtomakeallyourdreamscometrue.Itjustmeansthatwhenthingscomeupthatarentexactlyinyourplan,youworkaroundthemandthenyoumoveon.Ofcourse,somebumpsalongtheroadoflifeareeasiertotakethanothers.Arained-outpicnic,forexampl
31、e,iseasiertocopewiththanthesuddendeathofalovedone.Buttheprincipleisthesame.那并不意味着你不需要不断努力去实现你的梦想。意思只是讲,当计划以外的事发生时,你得去处理,然后继续前进。当然,人生沿途出现的一些撞击要比另一些容易处理。比方,由于下雨要取消野餐,总比本人所爱的人忽然逝世更容易处理。但原理是一样的。Change,indeed,ispainful,yeteverneedful,saidphilosopherThomasCarlyle.Andifmemoryhaveitsforceandworth,soalsohash
32、ope.改变确实给人带来痛苦,但改变却是永远必须的。哲人托马斯卡莱尔讲道,并且,假如记忆拥有其气力和价值,那么希望也同样拥有。WeregoingtomissMark,justlikeyoullmissthatgraduate,thatneighbororthatnewlywed.Butratherthandwellonthesadnessofourparting,wellfocusonourhopesforabrighterfutureforhim,andforus.Andthenwellgooutanddoeverythingwecantomakethatfuturehappen.我们会想念马克,就像你会想念那毕业离家的孩子、那位搬走的邻居或那新婚的儿女一样。但我们与其沉湎于分离所带来的悲悼中,倒不如把期盼聚焦于一个更光明的未来为他,也为我们本人。然后,我们将走出去,尽我们的一切气力去实现梦想中的将来。Untilourplanschangeagain.直到我们的计划再次改变。优秀的简单英语唯美美文
