The Two
Roads
两条
路
It
was Christmas Eve
，
an aged
man was standing on the
balcony
，
with
uneasy
，
alarmed and
pessimistic expression
；
He
sighed
for
his
miserable
fate,
and
raised
his
sad
eyes,
gazed
at
the
sparking
stars
in
the
deep
blue
sky.
A
falling
star
depicted
a
curve
in
the
sky
and
disappeared,
which
seemed like the symbol of his life.
Then
he
cast
them
below
his
floor,
where
a
few
more
desperate
people
than
him
were
moving
towards
their
inevitable
destination-the
grave.
He
had
already
expended
sixty
years
on
the
way
leading
to
it,
and
he
had
acquired
nothing but agony
and regret. Now his health was poor, his
mind was vacant, his heart was
sorrowful, and his life was
short of
comforts.
The
days
of
his youth
appeared
like
dreams
floating
in
his
brain,
and
he
recalled
the
strategic
moment
when
he
stood
at
the
access
to
two
roads-
At
the
end
of
the
first
road, it was a peaceful and sunny
place. It was covered with
delicate
flowers,
fascinating
bamboo
forest,
bunches
of
attractive
grapes.
There
lived
cute
deer,
tame
lambs,
and
flying
butterflies
and
echoed
with
the
merry,
sweet
laughter. There were also winding
tracks and honey peach
trees dotted the
graceful landscape.
At the end of the second
road, it was a damp and dull
cave,
which
was
an
absolute
hell
of
great
bulk.
It
was
covered with moist ponds
and marshes, nasty, ditches and
jungles,
chilling
and
thrilling
jails,
all
around
was
emitting
the
stale acid flavor. There lived evil devils, giant
monsters,
poisonous snakes, and echoed
with the horrible barking of
wolves.
It
was
full
of
spiders,
bats,
frogs,
damn
rats,
offensive bugs and other crawling
insects.
He
looked
up
to
the
sky
and
shouted
aloud,“O
youth,

两条路
圣诞节前夜，
一位老人伫立在阳台上，
面带不安、忧虑
和悲伤的表情。他哀叹着
自己悲惨的命运，抬起黯然失神的双眼凝
视着深蓝色的天空中闪烁的星星。一颗陨
落的星星划出一道弧线后消失了，那似乎
是他生命的象征。
他将目光投向地面，几
个比他更加绝
望的人正在走向人生必然的终点—坟墓。
在通往人
生终点的道路上，他已经过了
60
多个年头，除了痛苦和悔恨，
他一无所获。
现在，他身体虚弱，精神空虚，心情忧郁，
缺少晚
年应有的舒适。青春的岁月如梦幻
般浮现在他的脑海里，他回想起当他站在
人生岔口上的关键时刻。当时，他面前有
两条路—
第一条路的尽头，是一个和平、阳光
普照的地方。那里有娇嫩的
鲜花、迷人的
竹林、一串串诱人的葡萄、可爱的小鹿、
温顺的羊
羔、翩飞的蝴蝶，到处回荡着愉
快甜美的笑声，还有弯弯曲曲的小路和小
蜜桃树点缀着那里优美的风景。
第二条路的尽头，是
一个犹如地狱般
潮湿阴暗的巨大山洞。那里遍布着潮湿的
池塘和
沼泽、肮脏的水沟和丛林、阴冷而
恐怖的牢狱，四周散发着陈腐的酸味，那
里有恶魔、巨兽和毒蛇，回荡着令人毛骨
悚然的狼嚎声。随处可见的是蜘蛛、
蝙蝠、
青蛙、老鼠、令人讨厌的臭虫和其他昆虫。
他仰望天空，大声地哭喊：“哦，青
春，你回来吧！回来吧！”
他的青春真的回来了，因为以上所发
return!
Return !”
And
his
youth
did
return,
for
all
this
was
only
a
nightmare
which
he
had
on
Christmas
Eve.
He
was
still
young
though his faults were real; he had not yet
entered
the damp and dull cave, and he
was still free to walk on the
road
which led to the peaceful and sunny land.
Those
youngsters,
who
are
still
wandering
at
the
entrance
of
life
and
hesitating
to
choose
the
bright
road,
remember that when
years have passed and your feet are
limping in the dark cave, you will cry
bitterly, but in vain; “O
youth,
return! Oh give me back my early days!”
2 .The House with a Golden Window
带
有金色窗
户
的房子
In the bowels of a mountain of frontier
zone, a little boy
lived in a crude
house, which could only accommodate five
people
of
his
household.
There
was
not
any
railroad,
freeway
highway
or
even
a
pub
(an
inn)
around
the
mountain
.His
ancestors
and
he
were
the
exclusive
inhabitants on the
mountain for several centuries.
As he was 6
years old, he could see a wonderful house
across the valley on a higher altitude
of the other mountain,
which had a
golden window. He fancied that the emperor,
prince
and
princess
in
fable
must
have
been
living
in
that
kind of house. Sometimes, in order to
assure himself that it
was an authentic
house, the innocent boy often stared at it,
with exceeding thirst for living in it.
6
years later, the little boy believed that he had
acquired
plentiful
knowledge
and
skills
to
dominate
his
life.
Accordingly,
he
made
a
farewell
to
his
parents,
and
flung
himself on the road
with a manual kit, which was made of
the fabric that was weaved by his
mother. There was a coil
of nylon cord,
a saw and other implements in it.
In
spite
of
the
hindrance
of
the
muddy
and
slipper
生的一切只是他在平安夜做的一场噩梦。
他仍旧年轻，虽然的确
犯过一些错误，但
还未坠入深渊；他仍然可以自由地走上通
往和
平与光明的道路。
在人生的十字路口徘徊，不知该不该
选择光明大道的年轻人啊，你们千万要记
住：当你青春已逝，双足在黑
暗的山洞举
步维艰，跌跌撞撞之时，你才痛疾首地呼
唤：“哦，
回来吧，青春！哦，把我的美
好年华还给我！”这将毫无意义。

带有金色窗户的房子
在边远地区的大山深处，有个小男孩
一家五口住在一间简陋的屋子里。大山
的
周边没有任何铁路、高速路、公路甚至小
客栈。几百年以来，
他和他的祖辈是这座
山上唯一的住户。
当小男孩
6
岁时，隔着山谷他看见另
一座更高的山峰上有一个漂亮的带有金色
窗户的房子！他想象着传说中的皇帝、王
子和公主一定也住在那样的房子里。
有时，
为
了使自己确信那是真正的房子，天真的
小男孩经常凝望它，梦想着自己能住在里
面。
6
年后，
小男孩觉得自己已经有足够的
知识和技能来主宰自己的生活。因此，他
告别了父母，背着母亲亲手纺织的帆布包
匆匆上路了。背包里装
着一卷尼龙绳，一
把锯子和一些其他工具。

slope, for the impulse
of his keen desire, he probed the road
with a stick and proceeded towards the
house consistently.
As he mounted the summit,
he focused on the trail that
led
to
the
house
and
then
on
it.
It
seemed
to
appear
an
abnormal
phenomenon-the
house
vanished
weirdly
and
was
replaced by a ugly house, which was comparable
with
his little house, and it windows
were plain and rather dirty.
After opening
the door, he found that the house was a
discarded
mill
in
a
state
of
disorder.
In
the
center
of
the
house, the tools which could grind
wheat into flour were
covered
with
thick
dust
and
the
trace
of
mice,
a
rude
donkey
saddle
and
some
stained
sacks
lying
nearby
it.
In
one corner, a primitive
rack was full of cracks, spider was
spinning
web
on
it,
and
some
fragments
of
mat
were
underneath
it.
In
another
corner,
there
was
a
stack
of
straw in mess, a rusted spade and a
leaky barrel.
The little boy was extremely
disappointed. When he was
ready
to
leave,
he
detected
a
sight
which
amazed
him
–
there
was
his
little
house
across
the
valley
on
the
lower
mountain and its window was shining
with golden color- as
the midday
daylight (sunshine) was shinning on the glass of
its window…
This
story
gives
us
a
hint
(cue)
that
we
shouldn’t
be
blind
to
the
welfare
in
our
real
life.
What
we
need
is
to
adjust and
convert our ritual notions (concepts), to find and
enjoy the happiness that belongs to us.
虽然泥泞光滑的山坡阻碍他的行程，
但由于内心强烈的渴望，他用一个树枝探
路，坚持不懈地朝着那个房子前进。
当登上山顶，他的目光从通向房子的
小路移到那
座房子。似乎发生了一个异常
的现象
—
那个房子神秘地消失了，取而
代之的是一个丑陋的，跟他家类似的小房
子，房子的窗户很普通而且
很脏。
打开房门，他才发现那是一个杂乱不
< br>堪的，被废弃的磨坊。房屋中间的磨具上
覆盖着的厚厚的灰尘和老鼠的足印，旁边
是一个粗糙的驴鞍和脏兮兮的麻袋片。房
屋角落里，老式的搁物
架满是裂纹，一只
蜘蛛正在上面结网，架子下面是一些草席
的碎
片。房屋另一个角落是一堆乱糟糟的
稻草，一把锈迹斑斑的铁锹和满是漏洞的
水桶。
小男孩非常失望。正当他准备离开的
时候，小男孩吃惊地发现——隔着山谷在
低处的那个山峰上，他家的
房子闪烁着金
光——当时正午的太阳带正照耀着房子的
窗玻璃…
…
这个故事启示我们不能对现实生活中
的幸福视而不见。我们需要不断调整和转
变我们一贯的观念，发现并享受属于我们
的快乐。

Two
men,
both
in
serious
illness,
occupied
the
same
ward of
a hospital. One man was allowed to sit up in his
bed
for
an
hour
a
day
to
undergo
therapy
and
drain
the
fluid
from
his
lungs.
His
bed
was
next
to
the
room’s
only
window .The
other
man
had
to
lie
flat
on
his
back
all
the
time.
The
two men talked for hours on end. They talked about
their
families,
their
jobs,
their
experiences
in
the
military
service and a whole lot of things.
Every afternoon when the
man in the bed
next to the window could sit up, he would
pass the time by describing to his
roommate all the outdoor
things he
could see through the window.
The man in the
other bed would live for those one-hour
periods when his world would be
broadened and restored
to
freshness
by
all
the
activities
and
view
of
the
outside
world. The window overlooked a park
with a lovely stream
and a stone
bridge, the man said. Ducks and geese played in
the water while kids sailed their model
boats a gang of lads
played
volleyball
on
the
lawn
nearby
the
bridge
.Lovers
walked arm in arm amid blooms of
brilliant colors. A range
of
grand
oaks
and
some
flourishing
palms
graced
the
spectacular
landscape.
As
the
man
by
the
window
described
all
these
in
vivid
details,
the
man
or
the
other
side
of
the
room
would
close
his
eyes
and
imagine
the
magnetic scenery, which gave him deep
impression.
One fine afternoon the man
by the window described a
troop
(procession) of soldiers striding across the
square of
downtown.
Although
the
other
man
could
not
hear
the
band, he was charmed by
the invisible scene.
Unexpectedly,
a
thought
entered
his
head:
why
should
he have all the
pleasure of seeing everything while I never
get to see anything? It seemed unfair.
As the thought arose

两
名患有重病的男人住在同一间病房。
每天下午其中的一位都要在床头坐上一个
小时以接受治疗并排空肺部的积液。他的
病床临窗，那是病房里唯一的窗子
。另一
位却不得不整天卧在病床上。
两个人一聊就是数小时。
他们谈各自的
家庭、工作和当兵的经历
，真是无所不谈。
每天下午当临窗的男人从床上坐起时，他
都要
向自己的室友描述窗外看到的一切，
以此来打发时光。
临床的男人开始为这一小时而活着，
只
有这一
刻听着对有关窗外世界的一切活动
和景色的描述，他的世界才变得开阔并恢
复了生机。透过窗户可以看到一个公园，
公园里面有条小溪和一座石桥。鸭子
和鹅
在水中嬉戏，小孩们玩着自己心爱的模型
船。一群少年在草
地上打排球。年轻的情
侣携手漫步于姹紫嫣红的花丛中。一排伟
案的橡树和几棵茂盛的棕榈树美化着这引
人入胜的风景、
、
、
、
、
、
、当窗外的男士娓娓
道出这一切时，房里另一边的男士就会闭
上眼睛想象那如画的风景。一幅幅美丽的
风景给他留下了深刻的印象。
一个晴朗的下午，
窗外的人描述起外面<
/p>
一队士兵正大踏步的穿过市区的广场。虽
然听不见乐队的奏乐声，
但他还是被这看
不见的场景吸引了。
出乎意料的是，
不靠窗的病人突然产生
in
his
mind,
the
man
felt
upset
and
annoyed
at
first .But
with several days
passing, his inward (internal) envy turned
into
resentment
and
soon
turned
him
sour.
He
turned
indifferent
and
isolated,
almost
neglected
all
the
, a
wicked intention controlled his life- he
should lie by that window. He almost
couldn’t withstand the
torture
of
his
intention,
and
sighed
from
dawn
to
dusk.
Finally, his health became worse and
worse, but the doctors
couldn’t find
the cause.
Later one night, as he lay
staring at the ceiling, abruptly,
the
man by the window began to cough. He was choked by
the
fluid
in
his
lungs.
The
other
man
peered
his
panic
expression
and
quivering
fingers
in
the
dim
room
as
the
man by the window exerted all his
strength for the button
to
call
for
help.
At
the
critical
moment,
listening
to
his
crawling
(creeping)sound
across
the
room,
the
other
man
disguised
that
he
had
been
fallen
asleep,
never
moved,
never
pressed
down
his
own
handy
button
which
would
have
brought
the
nurse
coming.
It
lasted
about
five
minutes, and then the sound of cough
and breath stopped.
There was only
silence-deathly silence.
The
following
morning,
the
day
nurse
arrived
to
bring
water for their baths.
When she found the rigid lifeless body
of the man by the window, with enormous
grief, she called
the hospital maid to
take it away
–
no words, no
fuss.
As soon as it seemed to be
an appropriate opportunity,
the man
asked if the could be moved next to the window.
The
nurse
was
glad
to
make
the
switch,
and
after
making
sure
he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, with the acute ache, he
sustained himself up on
one elbow, and
strained to turn to look out of the window.
It was incredible that he faced a blank
wall.
了一个想法：为什么偏偏是他有幸观赏到
窗外的一
切？为什么自己没有机会得到这
种机会的？这似乎不公平。起初，他为自
己的这种想法感到不安和烦恼。几天后，
他内心的妒忌变成了愤怒，
脾气也变坏了。
他变得冷漠孤僻，无视周围的一切。然后，
一个邪恶的想法形成了
-
他应该躲在靠窗
的病床上。他整天唉声叹气，难以承受这
一想法的折磨。结果，病情一天天加
重了。
医生们对其病因不得而知。
一
天晚上，他照例睁着双眼盯着天花
板，他的同伴突然开始咳嗽，积液已经充
满了他的肺腔。在光线暗淡的房间里，他
瞥了一眼同伴惊慌的表情，
他两手颤抖着，
在摸索电铃的按钮，只要电铃一响，值班
的护士就会立即赶来。在那关键时刻，听
着病友在房间里爬行的声音，他却假装
已
经入睡、纹丝不动地看着，没有按下手边
的按钮。大约
5
分钟以后，咳嗽声和呼吸
声都停止了，四围
死一般的寂静。
第二天早上，日间护士端水到病房，却
只发现了窗边那个男人僵直的躯体，他已
经在睡梦中安详地死去。她十
分悲痛，打
电话叫医院的护工将尸体抬走。
< br>等到一个适当的机会，
病房里的另一个
男人请求搬到靠窗
的床铺。护士很乐意，
帮他调换了床铺，把一切安排妥当，她就
走了。

伴着剧烈的疼痛，
他缓慢而艰难地用单
肘支撑起自己
，挣扎着向窗外望去。令他
难以置信的是
-
他发现自己面对的是一面
空白的墙壁。
4. Four wives in our life <

生命中的四位
爱
人
In
former
days,
there
was
a
wealthy
merchant,
who
owned
billion
acres
of
fertile
land,
a
considerable
sum
of
property
and
multiple
compounds
(estates).
He
was
the
acknowledged leader at
home and had four wives.
He
had
the
greatest
affection
on
the
fourth
wife,
who
enjoyed the beautiful brows and face- a
fairy in his eyes. To
amuse
her,
the
merchant
gave
her
a
life
of
luxury,
bought
her fashionable
blouses and boots, and took her out to dine
on
delicious
food.
Each
of
their
marriage
anniversary,
he
would celebrate.
He was also
fond of his third wife very much. She was an
amateur poet with great literacy and
dignity. To approve of
her, he gave her
prevailing poetry as present, visit museums
with
her
to
see
the
antiques
and
went
to
the
concerts
to
enjoy
music
of
great
musicians
and
pianists.
He
was
very
proud
off her, introduced and showed off her to his
friends.
Nevertheless, he was always in
great fear that she might go
elsewhere
with some other guys.
His
second
spouse,
too,
won
his
preference.
As
a
cashier, she was keen, capable and
energetic in commercial
issues.
Whenever
he
faced
critical
problems,
he
always
turned
to
his
second
wife.
And
she’
d
always
attempted
to
help
him cope with the problems such as cash collection
or
the conflicts with clients. Hence,
to thank his second wife,
he
went

生命中的四位爱人
从前，有一位富有的商人，家有良田万
顷，大量财富和多处庄园。在家里，他
说
一不二。他有四位爱人。
他最钟爱
他最小的妻子，
她有着姣好的
面容，在他眼里简直就是个仙女。
为了讨
好她，商人给她最奢华的生活，给她买时
髦的衣裳，吃美
味的佳肴。他们的每个结
婚纪念日都要庆祝。
商人也很爱第三们妻子。
她是一位业余
诗人。她喜欢风
雅，知书达理，端庄典雅。
为了满足她的个人爱好，商人送她流行诗
集，陪她参观博物馆的古董，听著名音乐
爱的音乐会。他为她感到骄傲，把她介绍<
/p>
给朋友们，并常把好作为在朋友面前炫耀
的资本。但他同时也忧心
忡忡，怕她跟其
他男人跑了。
当然，
商人也爱第二位妻子。她是个管
账的。生意上的事，她既热心又能干。每
每遇到棘手的问题，他就会向她求助，而
她也总能尽力帮他解决诸如筹钱，或与
顾
客之间的争执等事情。因此，作为答谢，
商人每隔几年都会跟
她出去游玩消遣。
商人的第一个妻子是一个保守的人，
也
several years.
His
first
wife
was
a
very
conservative
and
faithful
partner.
She
was
a
woman
of
goodness
and
honesty.
As
a
housewife, she had made
great contributions to nourishing
children,
caring
husband
and
doing
housework.
是一位忠诚的伴侣。她善良诚实。作为
一
个家庭主妇，她照顾丈夫，养育儿女，做
家务活。偶尔，她略
有些笨拙和木讷。尽
管商人对她有成见，她也不恼，很有耐心
地
等丈夫回心车转意。看来，她是一个胸
怀宽广的女子。
几年以后，商人因酗酒病重，他自知无
法治愈，将不久于人世。他脸色
苍白，身
体僵硬。当他回顾自己的一生，不禁叫道：
“现在我虽
然有四个妻子相伴，但死后却
要孤零零一人。多寂寞啊！”
<
/p>
忍着剧痛，他问小老婆：“我最疼你，
给你买最漂亮的衣服，
每个节日都陪你过。
现在我就要离开这个世界了，你愿意陪我
而去吗？”“什么？我又不是圣人！绝对
不可能！”此刻，她正身穿裘
皮大衣，悠
闲地喝着茶。
商人对小老
婆的回答非常地失望。
伤心
的商人继而问第三个妻子：“你记得
我们
的浪漫经历吗？如今，我将不久于人世，
你愿意陪我而去吗
？”“不！
”她拒绝道，
“我无法忍受乏味的生活，我有权享受
好
的生活。
因此，
不久以后我会改嫁他
人。
”
此刻，
她正考虑着去其他富翁家
的路线呢。
第三位妻子的回答也伤害了他，
< br>他再转
向第二位妻子，问道：“你过去常常为我
排忧解难
。现在我想再请你帮一次忙。我
死后，你愿意随我而去？”她皱了皱眉说
道，“我只能参加你的葬礼仪式。”这句
Accidentally,
she
appeared
to
be
a
little
clumsy
and
ignorant.
Although
the
merchant
had
a
prejudice
towards
her,
she
maintained
her
patience
to
wait
for
him
to
come
back to her .She was a
woman of great breadth of mind.
After many years, the merchant fell
deadly ill for abusing
alcohol.
He
knew
it
couldn’t
cure.
He
was
pale
and
stiff.
W
hen he
reflected on his lifetime, he couldn’t help
yelling;
“now
I
have
4
wives.
But
when
I
die,
I’ll
be
solitary.
How
lonely I’ll be!’’
Suffering from the sting of the body,
he asked the fourth
wife, “I have
attached to you the most affection, and
boug
ht
pretty clothes to you
and spent every festival with you. Now
I’m
dying,
will
you
follow
me?”
“Pardon?
I
am
not
a
self-
sacrificing
saint.
No
way!”
the
fourth
wife,
who
was
sipping
tea idly in her fur overcoat, defied him.
The
answer
made
the
merchant
feel
fiercely
disappointed
on
her
conscience.
Then
he
asked
the
third
wife,
“Do
you
remember
our
romantic
experience?
Now
that I’m dying, will you follow me?”
the third wife glimpsed
against him.
“No!” she denied. “I couldn’t bear tedious life
in hell. I deserve a better life.
Consequently it is of necessity
that
I
marry
other
guys
afterwards.
Then
she
was
calculating the route to other
millionaire’s home.
The
answer
also
hurt
the
merchant,
and
then
he
resorted
to
the
second
wife,
“you’ve
always
facilitated
me
out. Now I barely beg you
once more, when I die, will you
follow
me?” “I’m sorry!” she frowned, claiming, “I can
only
- 7 -
attend your
funeral ceremony. The answer came like a bolt
of thunder and the merchant felt like
being discarded. Then
she was modifying
the items of a business contract.
Then
a
voice
wept:
we
are
bond
couple.
I’ll
go
alongside
with
you
wherever
you
go.
The
merchant
awoke, stroking his
first wife’s coarse palm. She was so lean.
Thinking
of
her
fatigue
year
after
year,
he
was
greatly
touched

Virtually,
we
all
respectively
have
four
wives
in
our
lives.
The
fourth
tender
wife
represents
our
body.
Despite
the
fact
that
we
spend
time
making
it
look
good,
it’ll
distract
from
us
when
we
die.
Our
third
wife
is
our
possessions,
remarkable
fame,
or
noble
status.
When
we
die, they all go to eternal collapse.
The second wife is our
family, friends,
colleagues or acquaintances. Regardless how
close we have r
elied on them
when we’re alive, what they
can
do
for
us
is
coming
to
the
funeral
at
the
utmost.
The
first wife is in fact our holy soul,
which is often neglected in
our
pursuit
of
material
and
wealth.
It
is
actually
the
only
thing that follows us wherever we go.
We should cultivate it
now, otherwise,
we will possibly feel regret in the end.

商人彻底觉得被抛弃了。
此刻，她正在修
改一个商业合同的条款。
这是时，一个声音哭泣道：“我愿意
随
你一同离去。无论你到哪里，我都跟着
你。”商人猛然惊醒，
抚摸着大老婆粗糙
的手掌。她是那么消瘦，又想到她年复一
年，
日夜操劳，一时心痛不已。商人悲痛
地说：“我以前应该好好地珍惜你啊！此
刻，大老婆正在为他洗衣服。
其实，
我们每个人的一生都有四位妻子
相伴。
最小的娇弱
的妻子代表我们的躯体。
即使我们花时间去装扮她，我们死后它终
会弃我们而去。第三位妻子代表我们的财
产、显赫的名声或尊贵的地位。一旦我们
撒手西去，它终究会烟消云散。第二位妻
子代表我们的家人、朋友、
同事或熟人。
我们活着的时候，无论多么亲近，他们最
多也只能
到幕前送我们最后一程。第一位
妻子则是我们的圣洁的灵魂。当我们沉迷
于追求物质、金钱或感官享受的时候，她
常常会被遗忘在一旁。实际上，她才是
唯
一与我们永远相伴的。我们就应该从现在
开始悉心照顾好她，
而不是等到临终之际
才悔恨不已。

When
you
were
6
years
old,
she
enrolled
you
in
kindergarten;
she
began
to
teach
you
arithmetic
and
alphabet;
she
told
you
the
tale
of
the
fisherman
and
the
little fish.
You
thanked her by hiding in the dwarf bushes to play
with ants, contaminating your school
uniform.
When you were 12
years old, you were fascinated with
chess and painting. She invited chess
coach for you, bought
you painting
brushes and took you to galleries.
You thanked her by being careless about
your studies,
drawing
portraits
of
teachers
in
class.
When
you
were
15

she
took
you
to
learn
to
play
the
violin
and
trumpet
in
an
orchestra,
and
paid
you
for
summer
camp
abroad,
You
thanked her by going to bars to listen to jazz and
pop music secretly, by being cynical to
her so-called classic
art and her
tunnel vision.
When you
were 20 years old, you began to date with
your
girlfriend.
You
learnt
to
play
the
guitar
and
went
to
gymnasium
for
girlfriend.
She
was
concerned
about
you,
telling this to you aunts in
neighborhood accidentally.
You thanked her by disputing with her,
“I am an adult,
Y
ou needn’t
worry about me!”
When you
were 25 years old, she was busy decorating
the
house
with
colorful
ornaments,
reckoning
on
the
date
of you wedding.
You thanked her by asserting to her
holding your slim
(slender) bride, “we
are to be on a global tour wedding.”
When you were 30 years old, you became
a competent
editor of Eastern
Literature, busy with revising sequences of
scripts
every
day.

你却偷偷地去酒吧听爵士乐和流行音

to
you,

You
thanked her by thinking she actually shouldn’t
fall
ill at the crisis of your career.
Then one day in autumn, she
quietly died.
In
front
of
her
ashes,
you
looked
through
your
sometime albums, and the fragments of
your life came into
illusion; an
infant, a younger and a mature man in the end.
Suddenly
you
perceived
that
there
was
no
substitute
for
mother.
Though
sometimes
she
might
think
awkwardly
or
might
not
consent
to
your
opinions,
she
was
still
your
mother! All that she
did was for the welfare of you.

朋友在我们生命中扮演着重要的角色。

朋友可以分担你心中的焦虑、悲伤、担忧

当你遇到困
难时，
在朋友的精神支持或
资金援助下，
你可以顺利地实现你的目标；
而且，亲密忠诚的朋友也是你抱怨、憎恨
甚至是诅咒的发泄口。
其实，
朋友就是那些在我们遇到困难时
乐意帮助我们、在我们悲伤时同情我们的
人。交朋友必须考虑诸如年龄、种族、智
力水平和个人感情等因素。虽然这些
因素
并非至关重要，但当人们的年龄与背景方

，他们往往较难相处。
一般来说，

Stevenson
was
born
of
inferior
origin,
living
in
a
basement of a remote
county in Scotland with his family. As
a little boy, his greatest wish was an
ice-cream in summer or
a pair of gloves
in winter. His father became disabled in an
accident
later .After
the
unemployment
of
his
father,
the
family was on the border
of famine. A loaf of bread could be
the
supper of the whole family. His two sisters died
early for
the deficiency of protein, he
also fully tasted the plague of
life.
His
parents
borrowed
money
to
send
Stevenson
to
school
when
he
was
10
years
old.
Even
though
he
only
studied
in school for a semester, he mastered good
spelling.
For
the
sake
of
living,
he
worked
as
a
porter,
an
operator,
a
receptionist
and
a
postman.
He
baked
bricks,
sold
steaks
in
a
bakery
and
learnt
from
barbers
and
carpenters.
Once
for
a
little
fee,
he
acted
as
a
clown
in
costumes in a comedy.
Every night, when he lodged in the
small
cell,
thinking
of
the
deception
and
insults
that
he
suffered, he swore he would employ
every means to make
money
in
spite
of
the
difficulties
.At
that
time,
making
money
was
his
only
motive
and
he
dreamed
of
having
a
deposit
in the bank.
When he was 28 years old,
he turned to be a typist in a
broadcasting
bureau.
He
worked
hard,
eating
crusts

napping on the couch beside the

每天都行走在成功的路上
史蒂文森出身卑贱，
他们一家人常年住
在苏
格兰一个偏远小县的一间地下室里。
他小时候最大的愿望就是有夏天可以吃到
冰淇淋，冬天有双手套来取暖。后来，父
亲在一次事故中致残，父亲失业以
后，家
里的生活更是举步维艰，常常一条面包便
是一家人的晚餐
。两个姐姐都因营养不良
而先后夭折，他也饱尝艰辛。
10
岁时，家
里借钱把他送到学校，
虽然只上了
一学期，
但是他的拼写学得非常好。
为了谋生，他当过搬运工，接线员，招
待员，邮递员，烧过砖，
在面包店卖过牛
排，曾拜理发师和木匠学艺。曾经为了赚
一点小
费，他还在喜剧片里装扮过小丑。
每到夜晚的时候，他蜷缩在小屋里，想着
自己受到的种种屈辱的欺骗，他就发誓，
不管有多辛苦一定要想尽一切办法赚
钱。
那时候，赚钱养家是他唯一的动力，他做
梦也想在银行里有
自己的存款。
28
岁那年，<
/p>
他在一家广播站当上了打字
员。他很勤奋，饿了吃点干面包片，困
了
就睡在打字机旁的长凳上。他练习书法，
学写广告和新闻摘要
。但是比起同事来，
他还是太卑微了。他说着方言，又没有文
凭
。人们都嘲笑他，他反而耸耸肩，把这
当作鼓舞自己斗志的动力。

comparison
with
other
staffs,
he
was
still
so
humble;
he
spoke in dialect and had
no diploma. Everybody laughed at
him
and
conversely
he
shrugged,
spurring
himself
to
work
even harder.
When
he
was
41,
a
journal
paid
for
good
essays.
The
bonus
of the first prize was 3,000 pounds. He tried and
his
first
work
entitled
Heroic
Surrender
won
the
third
prize,
earning him 1,000 pounds. From then on,
good luck seemly
embraced
him.
He
published
more
than
20
fictions
and
dramas
subsequently
in
the
following
decades.
His
works
won him the reputation
overseas for the subtle feelings and
insightful
philosophy.
Some
of
his
works,
particularly
in
dispensable Sore, The Era
of Bet and Extraordinary Booklet
were
translated into several versions in different
languages.
Once a
journalist asked him as a productive author, “Mr.
Stevenson,
it
is
said
that
your
striking
success
is
owing
to
Heroic Surrender. Assuming there was no
such a try, would
you
still
live
on
slim
wages?”
Then
Stevenson
smiled.
“Regarding
success”.
He
said,
“Life
is
always
a
process
of
voyage.
Someone
paces
quickly,
while
others
slowly.
But
stretches of episodes in life
constitute our success; we are
walking
on the road of success every day.”

decide who will get the position.
Generally
speaking,
a
resume
should
be

如何定英文简历
简历对于求职者来说有着重要的作用，
它能帮助你获得理想的职位。由于面试

阅读简历，确定要录

简历一般应该具体
、准确、整洁、有活
