And the sun would say Be patient - Each time I touch you， you grow a little…… She was so pleased. Because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand…… And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world. 遍地干旱、满目悲凉的沙漠中有朵小花，她独自生长在那里，享受着每一天……她问太阳公公“我什么时候才能长大

--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow .沃兹渥斯.朗费罗 The day is cold,and dark,and dreary; It rains,and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the moldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. My life is cold and dark and dreary; It rains and the wind is never weary; My though still cling to the moldering past, But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, And the days are dark and dreary. Be still,sad heart!And cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. 天冷、阴暗、沉闷 下着雨，刮个不停； 藤还攀附垣残壁， 每来一阵狂风，枯叶附落纷纷， 天真是阴暗而沉闷。
我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷； 下着雨，风也刮个不停； 我的思想还纠缠着消逝的往事， 大风里，我的青春希望相继熄灭， 天真是阴暗而沉闷。
安静吧，忧伤的心
别再悔恨； 乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂； 你命运和大家的一样， 每个人一生都得逢上阴雨， 有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。
Henry David Thoreau\\\/享利.大卫.梭罗 However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. 不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。
它不像你那样坏。
你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。
爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。
你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。
甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。
夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。
我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。
城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。
也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。
大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。
视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧
不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。
找旧的，回到那里去。
万物不变，是我们在变。
你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
爱情的见证 Love's Witness Slight unpremeditated Words are borne By every common Wind into the Air; Carelessly utter'd, die as soon as born， And in one instant give both Hope and Fear： Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind According to the Caprice of the Mind. But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses， Substantial Records to Eternity; Just Evidences，who the Truth confess, On which the Lover safely may rely； They're serious Thoughts，digested and resolv'd； And last，when Words are into Clouds devolv'd. 不加思索的轻率话语， 被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气； 随便说说，刚出口即消失， 一瞬间给人希望和恐惧： 同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠， 追随心灵无常的遐想。
但情书则是恒常的见证， 直至永恒的实体记录； 公道的证物，它道出真诚， 恋人能在其上安心依附； 它们是严肃的思想，经过深思熟虑； 当话语在云外消失，它们还将延续。
--------------------------- 从不说他做不到 We Never Told Him He Couldn't Do It My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally - but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk . The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn't know. In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others - perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know. He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day - even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt. Okay, he said. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 103-degree fever. So he didn't know. Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade - the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it. We never told him he couldn't do it...so he didn't know. He just did it. 从不说他做不到 我的儿子琼尼降生时，他的双脚向上弯弯着，医生向我们保证说经过治疗，小琼尼可以像常人一样走路，但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。
琼尼3岁之前一直在接受治疗，和支架、石膏模子打交道。
七八岁的时候，他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿有过毛病。
邻居的小孩子们做游戏的时候总是跑过来跑过去。
毫无疑问小琼尼看到他们玩就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。
我们从不告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑，我们从不说他和别的孩子不一样。
因为我们不对他说，所以他不知道。
七年级的时候，琼尼决定参加跑步横穿全美的比赛。
每天他和大伙一块训练。
也许是意识到自己先天不如别人，他训练得比任何人都刻苦。
训练队的前7名选手可以参加最后比赛，为学校拿分。
我们没有告诉琼尼；也许会落空，所以他不知道。
他坚持每天跑4~5英里。
我永远不会忘记有一次，他发着高烧，但仍坚持训练。
我为他担心，于是去学校看他，发现他正在一个人沿着长长的林荫道跑步呢。
我问他感觉怎么样，很好。
他说。
还剩下最后两英里。
他满脸是汗，眼睛因为发烧失去了光彩。
然而他目不斜视，坚持着跑下来。
我们从没有告诉他不能发着高烧去跑4英里的路，我们从没有这样对他说，所以他不知道。
两个星期后，在决赛前的3天，长跑队的名次被确定下来。
琼尼是第六名，他成功了。
他才是个七年级生，而其余的人都是八年级生。
我们从没有告诉他不要去期望入选，我们从没有对他说他不会成功。
是的，从没说起过……所以他不知道，但他却做到了

泰戈尔英文诗 《世界上最远的距离》 The most distant way in the world The most distant way in the world is not the way from birth to the end. it is when i sit near you that you don't understand i love u. The most distant way in the world is not that you're not sure i love u. It is when my love is bewildering the soul but i can't speak it out. The most distant way in the world is not that i can't say i love u. it is after looking into my heart i can't change my love. The most distant way in the world is not that i'm loving u. it is in our love we are keeping between the distance. 翻译： 世界上最远的距离 不是生与死的距离 而是我站在你面前 你不知道我爱你 世界上最远的距离 不是我站在你面前 你不知道我爱你 而是爱到痴迷 却不能说我爱你 世界上最远的距离 不是我不能说我爱你 而是想你痛彻心脾 却只能深埋心底 世界上最远的距离 不是我不能说我想你 而是彼此相爱 却不能够在一起 世界上最远的距离 不是彼此相爱 却不能够在一起 而是明知道真爱无敌 却装作毫不在意 世界上最远的距离 不是树与树的距离 而是同根生长的树枝 却无法在风中相依 世界上最远的距离 不是树枝无法相依 而是相互了望的星星 却没有交汇的轨迹 世界上最远的距离 不是星星之间的轨迹 而是纵然轨迹交汇 却在转瞬间无处寻觅 世界上最远的距离 不是瞬间便无处寻觅 而是尚未相遇 便注定无法相聚 世界上最远的距离 是鱼与飞鸟的距离 一个在天,一个却深潜海底 We Were Dear to Each Other By Rabindranath Tagore Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn,which have no songs,flutter and fall there with a sign. O Troupe of little vagrants of the world,leave your footprints in my words. The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song,as one kiss of the eternal. It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom. The mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away. If you shed tears when you miss the sun,you also miss the stars. The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement,dancing water,Will you carry the burden of their lameless? Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night. Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other. 我们相亲相爱 泰戈尔 夏天的飞鸟,飞到我的窗前唱歌,又飞去了. 秋天的黄叶,它们没有什么可唱,只叹息了一声,飞落在那里. 世界上的一小队小小的漂泊者呀,请留下你们的脚印在我的文字里. 世界对着它的爱人,把它浩瀚的面具揭了下来. 它变小了,小如一首歌,小如一回永恒的吻. 是大地的泪点,使她的微笑保持着青春不谢. 无垠的沙漠热烈地追求一叶绿草的爱,她摇摇头笑着飞开了. 如果你因失去了太阳而流泪,那么你也将将失去群星了. 跳着舞的流水呀,在你途中的泥沙,要求你的歌声,你的欢跳.你肯挟痂足的泥沙而俱下么? 她的热切的脸,如夜雨似的,搅扰着我的梦魂. 有一次,我们梦见大家都是不认识的. 我们醒了,却知道我们是相亲相爱的. 雪莱 Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) 西风颂 原文： I 1 O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being, 2 Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead 3 Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing, 4 Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red, 5 Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou, 6 Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed 7 The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low, 8 Each like a corpse within its grave, until 9 Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow 10 Her clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill 11 (Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air) 12 With living hues and odours plain and hill: 13 Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere; 14 Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh hear! II 15 Thou on whose stream, mid the steep sky's commotion, 16 Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed, 17 Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean, 18 Angels of rain and lightning: there are spread 19 On the blue surface of thine a{:e}ry surge, 20 Like the bright hair uplifted from the head 21 Of some fierce Maenad, even from the dim verge 22 Of the horizon to the zenith's height, 23 The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge 24 Of the dying year, to which this closing night 25 Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre, 26 Vaulted with all thy congregated might 27 Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere 28 Black rain, and fire, and hail will burst: oh hear! III 29 Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams 30 The blue Mediterranean, where he lay, 31 Lull'd by the coil of his cryst{`a}lline streams, 32 Beside a pumice isle in Baiae's bay, 33 And saw in sleep old palaces and towers 34 Quivering within the wave's intenser day, 35 All overgrown with azure moss and flowers 36 So sweet, the sense faints picturing them! Thou 37 For whose path the Atlantic's level powers 38 Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below 39 The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear 40 The sapless foliage of the ocean, know 41 Thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear, 42 And tremble and despoil themselves: oh hear! IV 43 If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear; 44 If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee; 45 A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share 46 The impulse of thy strength, only less free 47 Than thou, O uncontrollable! If even 48 I were as in my boyhood, and could be 49 The comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven, 50 As then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed 51 Scarce seem'd a vision; I would ne'er have striven 52 As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need. 53 Oh, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud! 54 I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed! 55 A heavy weight of hours has chain'd and bow'd 56 One too like thee: tameless, and swift, and proud. V 57 Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is: 58 What if my leaves are falling like its own! 59 The tumult of thy mighty harmonies 60 Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone, 61 Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce, 62 My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one! 63 Drive my dead thoughts over the universe 64 Like wither'd leaves to quicken a new birth! 65 And, by the incantation of this verse, 66 Scatter, as from an unextinguish'd hearth 67 Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind! 68 Be through my lips to unawaken'd earth 69 The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, 70 If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? 翻译： 1 哦，狂暴的西风，秋之生命的呼吸
你无形，但枯死的落叶被你横扫， 有如鬼魅碰到了巫师，纷纷逃避： 黄的，黑的，灰的，红得像患肺痨， 呵，重染疫疠的一群：西风呵，是你 以车驾把有翼的种子催送到 黑暗的冬床上，它们就躺在那里， 像是墓中的死穴，冰冷，深藏，低贱， 直等到春天，你碧空的姊妹吹起 她的喇叭，在沉睡的大地上响遍， （唤出嫩芽，像羊群一样，觅食空中） 将色和香充满了山峰和平原。
不羁的精灵呵，你无处不远行； 破坏者兼保护者：听吧，你且聆听
2 没入你的急流，当高空一片混乱， 流云象大地的枯叶一样被撕扯 脱离天空和海洋的纠缠的枝干。
成为雨和电的使者：它们飘落 在你的磅礴之气的蔚蓝的波面， 有如狂女的飘扬的头发在闪烁， 从天穹的最遥远而模糊的边沿 直抵九霄的中天，到处都在摇曳 欲来雷雨的卷发，对濒死的一年 你唱出了葬歌，而这密集的黑夜 将成为它广大墓陵的一座圆顶， 里面正有你的万钧之力的凝结； 那是你的浑然之气，从它会迸涌 黑色的雨，冰雹和火焰：哦，你听
3 是你，你将蓝色的地中海唤醒， 而它曾经昏睡了一整个夏天， 被澄澈水流的回旋催眠入梦， 就在巴亚海湾的一个浮石岛边， 它梦见了古老的宫殿和楼阁 在水天辉映的波影里抖颤， 而且都生满青苔、开满花朵， 那芬芳真迷人欲醉
呵，为了给你 让一条路，大西洋的汹涌的浪波 把自己向两边劈开，而深在渊底 那海洋中的花草和泥污的森林 虽然枝叶扶疏，却没有精力； 听到你的声音，它们已吓得发青： 一边颤栗，一边自动萎缩：哦，你听
4 哎，假如我是一片枯叶被你浮起， 假如我是能和你飞跑的云雾， 是一个波浪，和你的威力同喘息， 假如我分有你的脉搏，仅仅不如 你那么自由，哦，无法约束的生命
假如我能像在少年时，凌风而舞 便成了你的伴侣，悠游天空 （因为呵，那时候，要想追你上云霄， 似乎并非梦幻），我就不致像如今 这样焦躁地要和你争相祈祷。
哦，举起我吧，当我是水波、树叶、浮云
我跌在生活底荆棘上，我流血了
这被岁月的重轭所制服的生命 原是和你一样：骄傲、轻捷而不驯。
5 把我当作你的竖琴吧，有如树林： 尽管我的叶落了，那有什么关系
你巨大的合奏所振起的音乐 将染有树林和我的深邃的秋意： 虽忧伤而甜蜜。
呵，但愿你给予我 狂暴的精神
奋勇者呵，让我们合一
请把我枯死的思想向世界吹落， 让它像枯叶一样促成新的生命
哦，请听从这一篇符咒似的诗歌， 就把我的话语，像是灰烬和火星 从还未熄灭的炉火向人间播散
让预言的喇叭通过我的嘴唇 把昏睡的大地唤醒吧
西风呵， 如果冬天来了,春天还会远吗?

My Favourite Book I like reading,so I love many different kinds of books very much,because they not only broaden my horizons(视野)but also give me inspiration(灵感). Up to now I have read a lot of books,for example,magazines,novels and storybooks and so on.But one of the books that I like best is My Life Story.It was created(创作)by an American writer-Helen Keller(海伦·凯勒)in 1902.She was a blind(盲的),deaf(聋的)and dumb(哑的)person.In the book,she wrote that she had not been able to see,hear or speak since the age of one year and seven months.This unusual thing made her very sad.When she was seven years old,she knew Miss Sullivan(沙利文),her good teacher.Helen was getting happier every day.Then,Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words.At first,Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen's hands with her own fingers again and again.Helen was a very diligent girl.Because of this,she tried as much as possible to remember words.After that,she wrote and published(出版)many famous works.My Life Story is one of them. My Life Story described her hard struggle to become an outstanding(著名的)writer and educationist(教育家)of the world. It shows us a universal(普遍的)truth：Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it!This is why I like it best.What about you? Mid Autumn Day is an autumn festive in China.It comes in September or October.On that day,families eat a big dinner, they also eat mooncakes somesmall round cakes with nuts meat or eggs in them. The moon looks briter and rounder on that day .Chinese people often talk about their families and tell the story of Chang e.It is like the Thanksgiving day in American. 水里的游鱼是沉默的，陆地上的兽类是喧闹的，空中的飞鸟是歌唱着的。
但是，人类却兼有海里的沉默，地上的喧闹与空中的音乐。
the fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. but man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air. 在我自己的杯中，饮了我的酒吧，朋友。
一倒在别人的杯里，这酒的腾跳的泡沫便要消失了。
take my wine in my own cup, friend. it loses its wreath of foam when poured into that of others. 只管走过去，不必逗留着采了花朵来保存，因为一路上花朵自会继续开放的。
do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on, for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.

Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution. Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve(保存） our natural resources and recycle（再循环） our products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future. From:Me

“…I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days.”----- Henry David Thoreau.“……我虽然不富甲天下，却拥有无数个艳阳天和夏日。
”----亨利·大卫·梭罗When Thoreau wrote that line, he was thinking of the Walden. Pond he knew as a boy.写这句话时，梭罗想起孩提时代的瓦尔登湖。
Woodchoppers and the Iron Horse had not yet greatly damaged the beauty of its setting. A boy could go to the pond and lie on his back against the seat of a boat, lazily drifting from shore to shore while the loons dived and the swallows dipped around him. Thoreau loved to recall such sunny hours and summer days “when idleness was the most attractive and productive business.”当时伐木者和火车尚未严重破坏湖畔的美丽景致。
小男孩可以走向湖中，仰卧小舟。
自一岸缓缓漂向另一岸，周遭有鸟儿戏水，燕子翻飞。
梭罗喜欢回忆这样的艳阳天和夏日，“慵懒是最迷人也是最具生产力的事情
”I too was a boy in love with a pond, rich in sunny hours and summer days. Sun and summer are still what they always were, but the boy and the pond changed. The boy, who is now a man, no longer find much time for idle drifting. The pond has been annexed by a great city. The swamps where herons once hunted are now drained and filled with houses. The bay where water lilies quietly floated is now a harbor for motor boats. In short, everything that the boy loved no longer exists----except in the man's memory of it.我也曾经是热爱湖塘的小男孩，拥有无数个艳阳天与夏日。
如今阳光、夏日依旧，男孩和湖塘却已改变。
那男孩已长大成人，不再有那么多时间泛舟湖上。
而湖塘也为大城市所并。
曾有苍鹭觅食的沼泽，如今已枯竭殆尽，上面盖满了房舍。
睡莲静静漂浮的湖湾。
现在成了汽艇的避风港。
总之，男孩所爱的一切已不复存在----只留在人们的回忆中。
Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.有些人坚持认为只有今日和明日才是重要的，可是如果真的照此生活，我们将是何其可怜
许多今日我们做的事徒劳不足取的，很快就会被忘记。
许多我们期待明天将要做的事却从来没有发生过。
The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives.过去是一所银行。
我们将最可贵的财产---记忆珍藏其中。
记忆赐予我们生命的意义和深度。
Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days, because days enshrined in memory are never lost. Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quite hour in the sun.真正珍惜过去的人，不会悲叹旧日美好时光的逝去。
因为藏于记忆中的时光永不流失。
死亡本身无法止住一个记忆中的声音，或擦除一个记忆中的微笑。
对现已长大成人的那个男孩来说，那儿将有一个湖塘不会因时间和潮汐而改变，可以让他继续在阳光下享受安静时光。

姑娘，如此娇好美丽，我怎能不深深爱你! 我将爱你直至永远，亲爱的，纵使天下的海水销声绝迹。
纵使天下的海水销声绝迹，太阳把世上的岩石熔为浆泥；呵，我还要爱你，亲爱的，只要我生命的沙漏尚能为继。
再见吧，我唯一的爱，让我们暂时别离! 我将重回你的身边，我的爱，哪怕远隔千里万里!
有哪些优美的英语诗歌散文段落
1 Run through the rain1 雨中的记忆She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth, it has no time to flow down the spout.她和妈妈刚在沃尔玛结束购物。
这个天真的小女孩应该6岁大了，头发是美丽的棕色，脸上有雀斑。
外面下着倾盆大雨。
雨水溢满了檐槽，来不及排走，就迫不及待地涌涨上地面。
We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We all waited, some patiently, others irritated, because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.我们都站在沃尔玛门口的遮篷下。
大家都在等待，有人很耐心，有人很烦躁，因为老天在给他们本已忙碌的一天添乱。
雨天总引起我的遐思。
我出神地听着、看着老天冲刷洗涤这世界的污垢和尘埃，孩时无忧无虑地在雨中奔跑玩水的记忆汹涌而至，暂时缓解了我一天的焦虑。
Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, “Mom, let's run through the rain. she said.小女孩甜美的声音打破了这令人昏昏欲睡的气氛，“妈妈，我们在雨里跑吧。
”她说。
What? Mom asked.“什么
”母亲问。
Let's run through the rain! She repeated.“我们在雨里跑吧，”她重复。
No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit. Mom replied.“不，亲爱的，我们等雨小一点再走。
”母亲回答说。
This young child waited about another minute and repeated: Mom, let's run through the rain.过了一会小女孩又说：“妈妈，我们跑出去吧。
”We'll get soaked if we do. Mom said.“这样的话我们会湿透的。
”母亲说。
No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning, the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.“不会的，妈妈。
你今天早上不是这样说的。
”小女孩一边说一边拉着母亲的手。
This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?“今天早上
我什么时候说过我们淋雨不会湿啊
”Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!“你不记得了吗
你和爸爸谈他的癌症时，你不是说‘如果上帝让我们闯过这一关，那我们就没有什么过不去。
’”The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.人群一片寂静。
我发誓，除了雨声，你什么都听不到。
我们都静静地站着。
接下来的几分钟没有一个人走动。
母亲停了一下，想着应该说些什么。
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just needed washing. Mom said. Then off they ran.有人也许会对此一笑了之，或者责备这孩子的不懂事，有人甚至不把她的话放在心上。
但这却是一个小孩子一生中需要被肯定的时候。
若受到鼓舞，此时孩子单纯的信任就会发展成为坚定的信念。
“亲爱的，你说得对，我们跑过去吧。
如果淋湿了，那也许是因为我们的确需要冲洗一下了。
”母亲说。
然后她们就冲出去了。
We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day!我们站在那里，笑着看她们飞快地跑过停着的汽车。
她们把购物袋高举过头想挡挡雨，但还是湿透了。
好几个人像孩子般尖叫着，大笑着，也跟着冲了出去，奔向自己的车子。
当然，我也这样做了，跑了出去，淋湿了。
我也需要接受洗礼。
环境或其他人可以夺去你的物质财富，抢走你的金钱，带走你的健康，但没有人可以带走你珍贵的回忆。
因此，记得要抓紧时间，抓住机会每天都给自己留下一些回忆吧To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.世间万物皆有自己的季节，做任何事情也有一个恰当的时机。
希望你有机会在雨中狂奔一回。
2 Love is just a thread2 爱如丝线Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.有时候，我真的怀疑父母之间是否有真爱。
他们天天忙于赚钱，为我和弟弟支付学费。
他们从未像我在书中读到，或在电视中看到的那样互诉衷肠。
他们认为”我爱你”太奢侈，很难说出口。
更不用说在情人节送花这样的事了。
我父亲的脾气非常坏。
经过一天的劳累之后，他经常会发脾气。
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.一天，母亲正在缝被子，我静静地坐在她旁边看着她。
“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.过了一会，我说：”妈妈，我想问你一个问题。
”“What?” she replied, still doing her work.“什么问题?”她一边继续缝着，一边回答道。
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.我低声地问道：”你和爸爸之间有没有爱情啊?”My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.母亲突然停下了手中的活，满眼诧异地抬起头。
她没有立即作答。
然后低下头，继续缝被子。
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:我担心伤害了她。
我非常尴尬，不知道该怎么办。
不过，后来我听见母亲说：“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread.Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is inside.”“苏珊，看看这些线。
有时候，你能看得见，但是大多数都隐藏在被子里。
这些线使被子坚固耐用。
如果生活就像一床被子，那么爱就是其中的线。
你不可能随时随地看到它，但是它却实实在在地存在着。
爱是内在的I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.我仔细地听着，却无法明白她的话，直到来年的春天。
那时候，我父亲得了重病。
母亲在医院里待了一个月。
当他们从医院回来的时候，都显得非常苍白。
就像他们都得了一场重病一样。
After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. It seemed they were the most harmonious couple. Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently glistened through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.他们回来之后，每天的清晨或黄昏，母亲都会搀扶着父亲在乡村的小路上漫步。
父亲从未如此温和过。
他们就像是天作之合。
在小路旁边，有许多美丽的野花、绿草和树木。
阳光穿过树叶的缝隙，温柔地照射在地面上。
这一切形成了一幅世间最美好的画面。
The doctor had said my father would recover in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.医生说父亲将在两个月后康复。
但是两个月之后，他仍然无法独立行走。
我们都很为他担心。
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.有一天，我问他：“爸爸，你感觉怎么样?”“Susan, don’t worry about me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.他温和地说：“苏珊，不用为我担心。
跟你说吧，我喜欢与你妈妈一块散步的感觉。
我喜欢这种生活。
”从他的眼神里，我看得出他对母亲的爱之深刻。
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm..我曾经认为爱情就是鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的亲吻。
但是从那一刻起，我明白了，爱情就像是生活中被子里的一根线。
爱情就在里面，使生活变得坚固而温暖。
