《为什么当地球上还有小孩子在挨饿时,人类要探索宇宙
》译者:kelejiabing 原文作者:Dr. Ernst Stuhlinger 1970年,赞比亚修女 Mary Jucunda 给 Ernst Stuhlinger 博士写信问道:目前地球上还有这么多小孩子吃不上饭,他怎么能舍得为远在火星的项目花费数十亿美元。
Stuhlinger 很快给 Jucunda 修女回了信,他这封真挚的回信随后由NASA以《为什么要探索宇宙》为题发表。
1970年,赞比亚修女 Mary Jucunda 给 Ernst Stuhlinger 博士写了一封信,他因在火星之旅工程中的原创性研究,成为 NASA(美国航空航天局)Marshall 太空航行中心的科学副总监。
信中,Mary Jucunda 修女问道:目前地球上还有这么多小孩子吃不上饭,他怎么能舍得为远在火星的项目花费数十亿美元。
Stuhlinger 很快给Jucunda 修女回了信,同时还附带了一张题为“升起的地球”的照片,这张标志性的照片是宇航员 William Anders 于1968年在月球轨道上拍摄的(照片中可以看到月球的地面)。
他这封真挚的回信随后由 NASA 以《为什么要探索宇宙》为标题发表。
#以下信件内容#亲爱的Mary Jucunda修女:每天,我都会收到很多类似的来信,但这封对我的触动最深,因为它来自一颗慈悲的饱含探求精神的心灵。
我会尽自己所能来回答你这个问题。
首先,请允许我向你以及你勇敢的姐妹们表达深深的敬意,你们献身于人类最崇高的事业:帮助身处困境的同胞。
在来信中,你问我在目前地球上还有儿童由于饥饿面临死亡威胁的情况下,为什么还要花费数十亿美元来进行飞向火星的航行。
我清楚你肯定不希望这样的答案:“哦,我之前不知道还有小孩子快饿死了,好吧,从现在开始,暂停所有的太空项目,直到孩子们都吃上饭再说。
”事实上,早在人类的技术水平可以畅想火星之旅之前,我已经对儿童的饥荒问题有所了解。
而且,同我很多朋友的看法一样,我认为此时此刻,我们就应该开始通往月球、火星乃至其他行星的伟大探险。
从长远来看,相对于那些要么只有年复一年的辩论和争吵,要么连妥协之后也迟迟无法落实的各种援助计划来说,我甚至觉得探索太空的工程给更有助于解决人类目前所面临的种种危机。
在详细说明我们的太空项目如何帮助解决地面上的危机之前,我想先简短讲一个真实的故事。
那是在400年前,德国某小镇里有一位伯爵。
他是个心地善良的人,他将自己收入的一大部分捐给了镇子上的穷人。
这十分令人钦佩,因为中世纪时穷人很多,而且那时经常爆发席卷全国的瘟疫。
一天,伯爵碰到了一个奇怪的人,他家中有一个工作台和一个小实验室,他白天卖力工作,每天晚上的几小时的时间专心进行研究。
他把小玻璃片研磨成镜片,然后把研磨好的镜片装到镜筒里,用此来观察细小的物件。
伯爵被这个前所未见的可以把东西放大观察的小发明迷住了。
他邀请这个怪人住到了他的城堡里,作为伯爵的门客,此后他可以专心投入所有的时间来研究这些光学器件。
然而,镇子上的人得知伯爵在这么一个怪人和他那些无用的玩意儿上花费金钱之后,都很生气。
“我们还在受瘟疫的苦,”他们抱怨道,“而他却为那个闲人和他没用的爱好乱花钱
”伯爵听到后不为所动。
“我会尽可能地接济大家,”他表示,“但我会继续资助这个人和他的工作,我确信终有一天会有回报。
”果不其然,他的工作(以及同时期其他人的努力)赢来了丰厚的回报:显微镜。
显微镜的发明给医学带来了前所未有的发展,由此展开的研究及其成果,消除了世界上大部分地区肆虐的瘟疫和其他一些传染性疾病。
伯爵为支持这项研究发明所花费的金钱,其最终结果大大减轻了人类所遭受的苦难,这回报远远超过单纯将这些钱用来救济那些遭受瘟疫的人。
我们目前面临类似的问题。
美国总统的年度预算共有2000亿美元,这些钱将用于医疗、教育、福利、城市建设、高速公路、交通运输、海外援助、国防、环保、科技、农业以及其他多项国内外的工程。
今年,预算中的1.6%将用于探索宇宙,这些花销将用于阿波罗以计划、其他一些涵盖了天体物理学、深空天文学、空间生物学、行星探测工程、地球资源工程的小项目以及空间工程技术。
为担负这些太空项目的支出,平均每个年收入10,000美元的美国纳税人需要支付约30美元给太空,剩下的9,970美元则可用于一般生活开支、休闲娱乐、储蓄、别的税项等花销。
也许你会问:“为什么不从纳税人为太空支付的30美元里抽出5美元或3美元或是1美元来救济饥饿的儿童呢
”为了回答这个问题,我需要先简单解释一下我们国家的经济是如何运行的,其他国家也是类似的情形。
政府由几个部门(如内政部、司法部、卫生部与公众福利部、教育部、运输部、国防部等)和几个机构(国家科学基金会、国家航空航天局等)组成,这些部门和机构根据自己的职能制定相应的年度预算,并严格执行以应对国务委员会的监督,同时还要应付来自预算部门和总统对于其经济效益的压力。
当资金最终由国会拨出后,将严格用于经预算批准的计划中的项目。
显然,NASA的预算中所包含的项目都是和航空航天有关的。
未经国会批准的预算项目,是不会得到资金支持的,自然也不会被课税,除非有其他部门的预算涵盖了该项目,借此花掉没有分配给太空项目的资金。
由这段简短的说明可以看出,要想援助饥饿的儿童,或在美国已有的对外援助项目上增加援助金额,需要首先由相关部门提出预算,然后由国会批准才行。
要问是否同意政府实施类似的政策,我个人的意见是绝对赞成。
我完全不介意每年多付出一点点税款来帮助饥饿的儿童,无论他们身在何处。
我相信我的朋友们也会持相同的态度。
然而,事情并不是仅靠把去往火星航行的计划取消就能轻易实现的。
相对的,我甚至认为可以通过太空项目,来为缓解乃至最终解决地球上的贫穷和饥饿问题作出贡献。
解决饥饿问题的关键有两部分:食物的生产和食物的发放。
食物的生产所涉及的农业、畜牧业、渔业及其他大规模生产活动在世界上的一些地区高效高产,而在有的地区则产量严重不足。
通过高科技手段,如灌溉管理,肥料的使用,天气预报,产量评估,程序化种植,农田优选,作物的习性与耕作时间选择,农作物调查及收割计划,可以显著提高土地的生产效率。
人造地球卫星无疑是改进这两个关键问题最有力的工具。
在远离地面的运行轨道上,卫星能够在很短的时间里扫描大片的陆地,可以同时观察计算农作物生长所需要的多项指标,土壤、旱情、雨雪天气等等,并且可以将这些信息广播至地面接收站以便做进一步处理。
事实证明,配备有土地资源传感器及相应的农业程序的人造卫星系统,即便是最简单的型号,也能给农作物的年产量带来数以十亿美元计的提升。
如何将食品发放给需要的人则是另外一个全新的问题,关键不在于轮船的容量,而在于国际间的合作。
小国统治者对于来自大国的大量食品的输入会感到很困扰,他们害怕伴随着食物一同而来的还有外国势力对其统治地位的影响。
恐怕在国与国之间消除隔阂之前,饥饿问题无法得以高效解决了。
我不认为太空计划能一夜之间创造奇迹,然而,探索宇宙有助于促使问题向着良好的方向发展。
以最近发生的阿波罗13号事故为例。
当宇航员处于关键的大气层再入期时,为了保证通讯畅通,苏联关闭了境内与阿波罗飞船所用频带相同的所有广播通信。
同时派出舰艇到太平洋和大西洋海域以备第一时间进行搜救工作。
如果宇航员的救生舱降落到俄方舰船附近,俄方人员会像对待从太空返回的本国宇航员一样对他们进行救助。
同样,如果俄方的宇宙飞船遇到了类似的紧急情况,美国也一定会毫不犹豫地提供援助。
通过卫星进行监测与分析来提高食品产量,以及通过改善国际关系提高食品发放的效率,只是通过太空项目提高人类生活质量的两个方面。
下面我想介绍另外两个重要作用:促进科学技术的发展和提高一代人的科学素养。
登月工程需要历史上前所未有的高精度和高可靠性。
面对如此严苛的要求,我们要寻找新材料,新方法;开发出更好的工程系统;用更可靠的制作流程;让仪器的工作寿命更长久;甚至需要探索全新的自然规律。
这些为登月发明的新技术同样可以用于地面上的工程项目。
每年,都有大概一千项从太空项目中发展出来的新技术被用于日常生活中,这些技术打造出更好的厨房用具和农场设备,更好的缝纫机和收音机,更好的轮船和飞机,更精确的天气预报和风暴预警,更好的通讯设施,更好的医疗设备,乃至更好的日常小工具。
你可能会问,为什么先设计出宇航员登月舱的维生系统,而不是先为心脏病患者造出远程体征监测设备呢。
答案很简单:解决工程问题时,重要的技术突破往往并不是按部就班直接得到的,而是来自能够激发出强大创新精神,能够燃起的想象力和坚定的行动力,以及能够整合好所有资源的充满挑战的目标。
太空旅行无可置疑地是一项充满挑战的事业。
通往火星的航行并不能直接提供食物解决饥荒问题。
然而,它所带来大量的新技术和新方法可以用在火星项目之外,这将产生数倍于原始花费的收益。
若希望人类生活得越来越好,除了需要新的技术,我们还需要基础科学不断有新的进展。
包括物理学和化学,生物学和生理学,特别是医学,用来照看人类的健康,应对饥饿、疾病、食物和水的污染以及环境污染等问题。
我们需要更多的年轻人投入到科学事业中来,我们需要给予那些投身科研事业的有天分的科学家更多的帮助。
随时要有富于挑战的研究项目,同时要保证对项目给予充分的资源支持。
在此我要重申,太空项目是科技进步的催化剂,它为学术研究工作提供了绝佳和实践机会,包括对月球和其他行星的研究、物理学和天文学、生物学和医学科学等学科,有它,科学界源源不断出现令人激动不已研究课题,人类得以窥见宇宙无比瑰丽的景象;为了它,新技术新方法不断涌现。
由美国政府控制并提供资金支持的所有活动中,太空项目无疑最引人瞩目也最容易引起争议,尽管其仅占全部预算的1.6%,不到全民生产总值的千分之三。
作为新技术的驱动者和催化剂,太空项目开展了多项基础科学的研究,它的地位注定不同于其他活动。
从某种意义上来说,以太空项目的对社会的影响,其地位相当于3-4千年前的战争活动。
如果国家之间不再比拼轰炸机和远程导弹,取而代之比拼月球飞船的性能,那将避免多少战乱之苦
聪慧的胜利者将满怀希望,失败者也不用饱尝痛苦,不再埋下仇恨的种子,不再带来复仇的战争。
尽管我们开展的太空项目研究的东西离地球很遥远,已经将人类的视野延伸至月亮、至太阳、至星球、直至那遥远的星辰,但天文学家对地球的关注,超过以上所有天外之物。
太空项目带来的不仅有那些新技术所提供的生活品质的提升,随着对宇宙研究的深入,我们对地球,对生命,对人类自身的感激之情将越深。
太空探索让地球更美好。
随信一块寄出的这张照片,是1968年圣诞节那天阿波罗8号在环月球轨道上拍摄的地球的景象。
太空项目所能带来的各种结果中,这张照片也许是其中最可贵的一项。
它开阔了人类的视野,让我们如此直观地感受到地球是广阔无垠的宇宙中如此美丽而又珍贵的孤岛,同时让我们认识到地球是我们唯一的家园,离开地球就是荒芜阴冷的外太空。
无论在此之前人们对地球的了解是多么的有限,对于破坏生态平衡的严重后果的认识是多么的不充分。
在这张照片公开发表之后,面对人类目前所面临的种种严峻形势,如环境污染、饥饿、贫穷、过度城市化、粮食问题、水资源问题、人口问题等等,号召大家正视这些严重问题的呼声越来越多。
人们突然表示出对自身问题的关注,不能说和目前正在进行的这些初期太空探索项目,以及它所带来的对于人类自身家园的全新视角无关。
太空探索不仅仅给人类提供一面审视自己的镜子,它还能给我们带来全新的技术,全新的挑战和进取精神,以及面对严峻现实问题时依然乐观自信的心态。
我相信,人类从宇宙中学到的,充分印证了Albert Schweitzer那句名言:“我忧心忡忡地看待未来,但仍满怀美好的希望。
”向您和您的孩子们致以我最真挚的敬意
您诚挚的,恩斯特·史都林格 科学副总监 1970年5月6日
求一篇英语“我的中国梦”控制在三四分钟的演讲稿
环保问题: (1) As is apparently revealed in the pie charts above, forty-eight percent of people surveyed have never heard of the International No Motor Vehicle Day while fifty-seven percent are willing to give up driving on such a day. What is betrayed in the pie charts is most thought-provoking. The implied meaning of the pie charts is both disappointing and exciting. On the one hand, much necessary work still needs to be done with respect to environmental protection. The public ignorance of relevant environmental protection results from inadequate and limited popularity of environmental protection knowledge by relevant government departments at different levels. Since environmental protection is an international issue, we must constantly introduce the advanced and practical practice in other countries to our general public. Only in this way can we promote environmental protection in China. On the other hand, the enhancement of the public awareness of environmental protection is a welcome development. Over the past years, as people’s living standard improves, people attach more importance to the quality of their life. They have a better understanding of the relationship between environment and their daily life. As a result, they are more interested in following positive international models. In sum, we have got a mixed feeling toward the very fact revealed in the pie charts. In my view, necessary measures should be immediately taken to ensure a nice environment. First of all, government departments at all levels must play a more active role in popularizing international experience and practice of environmental protection. What’s more, the general public should be encouraged to participate more actively in environmental protection. Only in this way can we live in a healthy and harmonious environment.

(3)打好环保比赛、创建绿色北京 尽管2008北京奥运会离我们还有3年之遥,但有一项规模宏大的特殊比赛已经拉开了序幕。
这场比赛的参加者并非来自世界各国的体育选手,而是身处北京的每一位公民,比赛的场所就是我们身边的街区小巷。
我想大家已经想到了我所说的这项特殊比赛,这就是创建绿色北京、保护美好环境。
那么在这场环保大赛中,我们究竟要与谁一比高低
是繁华现代的洛杉矶、风光迷人的悉尼、还是古老神奇的雅典
都不是
比赛的对手就是我们自己,就是我们自身淡漠的环保意识。
几年前有幸在美国加州度过的一段时光,既让我享受了那里宜人的环境,更让我领略了当地人民高度的环保意识。
每当说到城市环保,我的眼前总会浮现出加州那蔚蓝的天空、明媚的阳光、碧绿的草地以及嬉戏在树枝间的松鼠、彩蝶和百灵鸟。
记得刚到美国时,常去爸爸工作的美国地质调查局玩耍,每次均能看到许多人骑自行车上下班,而其中一位满头白发的骑车老人,引起了我的好奇。
我问爸爸,那个爷爷为什么总骑车上班,是不是没钱买车
爸爸笑道:没钱买车
嘿,说出来吓死你,他可是世界上顶级的大科学家。
要论钱,他可以买一个车队呢。
那他咋不买车呢
骑车多累呀
他有车,但平时除非下雨或购物,一般不去开。
在美国有许多人都是环保主义者,为了节约能源和减少汽车尾气对大气的污染,他们用实际行动倡导人们尽量少开车。
而我们所居住的这座美国城市,还特别将每年的5月19日定成了'骑车上班日',以支持和宣传这种有效的环保行为。
后来,我还在经常的搭车出行中获知了他们的另一件环保趣事:在美国的许多州,政府为了鼓励大家多坐公交车或几人合用一辆车,以节省能源和缓解交通压力,在城市内一些主干道路上开辟有专门的'钻石车道',只有乘坐了二人或二人以上的车辆才从此通过。
美国人民这种自觉的环保意识和政府有效的环保措施使我从内心对他们充满了敬佩。
并深刻地影响了我的环保理念。
回国后,常常有人问我:美国好吗
我总会脱口而出:确实好
最好的是环境。
说句真心话,回国三、四年,美国那边同学和老师的面孔已经逐渐模糊,但加州那宜人的自然环境,却每每清晰地浮现在我的眼前,成为我最深的记忆和期盼故地重游的缘由,也成了我心目中北京环境的蓝图。
2008奥运会为我们倡导和实施北京的环保提供了契机,北京能否有朝一日也拥有象加州那样美丽的环境
答案是肯定的。
但需要我们以真正的环保之心和切实的环保行动去一步一步地实现。
从现在开始,如果每一位有车的朋友一星期可以少开一、两次车,每个让家长用车接送的同学一周能主动让家长少接送一两趟而改乘公车或骑自行车,我们就会有拥有更多的蓝天……。
只要我们每一位北京市民都能够自觉的从身边的环保小事做起,加州的蓝天、白云和绿草地就会在北京安家,美国的松鼠、彩蝶和百灵鸟就会来北京落户。
涓涓细流可以汇成滔滔江海,片片绿叶能够造就莽莽森林。
只要我们每一位北京市民都拿起手中的环保之笔,在我们所处的街头巷尾,为北京这幅美丽而古老的画卷添上自己的一抹绿色,就能使北京掩映在绿色的海洋中。
让我们一起行动起来,用我们集体的力量来打赢这场环保之赛,向全世界展现一块最大的金牌,这就是绿色北京、精彩奥运。
Win Competition of Environment Protection for Beijing Although the 2008 Olympics are still three years away, another special competition has already started in Beijing. This time, the competitors are not the athletes from all over the world, but the people living in Beijing. The special competition is not held in a stadium, but in every street and every corner of Beijing. I suppose some of you may have already guessed what the special competition is. Yes, it is the competition of protecting our environment and creating a green Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games. Someone may ask who is our rival in this competition? The modern Los Angeles, the charming Sydney, or the historic Athens? No, none of them. The real rival is ourselves. It is our bad habits of neglecting to protect environment in our daily life. Several years ago, I was very lucky to have an opportunity to live in the United States for about two years. I not only enjoyed the beautiful environment there, but also appreciated the American people's active way of protecting their environment. Now, whenever the environment protection is mentioned, a beautiful view of California will arise in my mind: white clouds flying across the blue sky, green grassplot sprinkled with colorful flowers and small animals playing happily among the trees. I remember that at the beginning of my coming to America, I often went to my father's working place, the United States Geological Survey, to have fun. Each time I found a lot of people riding bicycles to their offices. Among the cyclists, an old man with white hair attracted my attention. Curiously, I asked my father, Why does the old man ride his bike to work every day? Doesn't he have enough money to buy a car? Father laughed, No, not because of money. Actually, he is one of the greatest scientists in the world. He can afford to buy a motorcade if he likes. He is just an environmentalist and usually doesn't drive unless going shopping, or in bad weather. In America, there are a lot of environmentalists, who actively protect their environment. For example, in Palo Alto city we are living now, there is even a bicycle-to-work day on May 19th every year to encourage people to decrease air pollution caused by cars. Later, I also learnt another interesting fact of environment protection there. In some states of America, in order to decrease air pollution, save energy and reduce traffic jams, state governments encourage people to take buses to work or to share a car among several people. They even set special diamond lanes in some main streets, which are only for the vehicles with 2 or more people. The positive actions of American people and the effective measures the American government takes in environment protection fully won my respects and deeply affected my consciousness in environment protection. When I was back in China, people often asked me: What do you think of America? I always bolt out: Wonderful, especially the beautiful environment. Frankly speaking, after several years, the faces of my American teachers and friends have gradually faded away from my mind, but the blue sky, green grass and lovely animals in California often arise in my mind, and became my dream of visiting there again. The 2008 Olympics provide us with the opportunity to publicize and practise environment protection in Beijing. Is it possible for Beijing to Is it possible for Beijing to become as beautiful as California? The answer is yes, but the dream needs every Beijing citizen's full support and active moves to accomplish. From now on, if every student who is driven to school can take bus or ride bicycle to school once a week, if every car owner goes to work in a car pool once a week, we can make a difference. If everyone can actively protect the environment in our daily life, the blue sky, green grass and lovely animals in California will appear in Beijing. Tiny streams can combine into a vast ocean, small trees can together be an immense forest. Beijing is often described as a beautiful and aged picture. If every Beijing citizen adds a trait of green on the picture, the whole Beijing will become an ocean of green. Let us unite together to win the competition of environment protection in Beijing, and present the world a big gold medal. That is Green Beijing, Great Olympics
急需英语演讲稿,关于“做自己”的话题,速度啊,牛人多帮帮忙啊,要三分钟左右的,
Sitting in a chair, sit on the coffee with catkins like smoke, light fragrance around me. Looking out of the window of the noisy crowd, pedestrian colored, shuttle time. The world bright all is a benefit, the world all profits go to. But I think at least they understand one thing, I'm alive, live for yourself.I am alive. Every day, telling myself I'm alive, much good. I can laugh, can be sad, love, hate, I try to body calendar of various benefits, I am a happy person.Life in the real world, people around, always have their own little world, that is their own home, it is our box, where, I can enjoy venting, laugh, or cry. Because I was like, I have a big tree, in trouble, I will go to him, talk to it, and then I'll put the bottle buried under a tree, there is my joy and sorrow.Every morning, I open my eyes, looking at the sun, telling myself, I am happy. I can chat with friends, to accompany their parents to go shopping, can oneself cook, can be dedicated to learning, because I know, I am very happy, I live for myself. Life gives you a variety of options, make you cry let you laugh at, say, God gave you, let you happy. Let you worry; I say, God gave you life, gives you the right to life, give you the freedom of choice, so you happy, so you worry, because you choose your emotional world. On that day, a stray Han with feet along to a desert, the scorching sun overhead, he tired, because he has gone one day and one night, he thought he could go out. He was in despair, why god treat me so unfairly, let me, let me come to this no human habitation in the desert. Tramp sitting on the sand, and closed his eyes. In the dream, the sun suddenly become so dazzling, tramp stood up, looked hungry, looking at the sky, there was a voice, you're still alive, right? Tramp stared at him, the heart of endless sorrow. He had to live an extravagant life, extravagant enjoyment of his servants to give everything he did, he never thought about what to do with myself, what I will do. Death in the family, let him from heaven to hell - at least in his heart so. Thinking of his past tramp eyes has started to blur. Children, wiping away tears, the road at the foot of their own, life in your heart, in your side, treat everything around you, you'll find out his. Bum Monti, the head of a cold sweat, rubbing his cheek, tears scalding. Tramp spirits, began to think about his own life. He loves astronomy, it is possible he had only one thing every day, he loves to see the stars of night, love to watch the night moon. Oh, star! Tramp thought, he had read about in books, night, the stars are our angel, the day, the sun is our guide. Raised his head, the Tramp to dream of white light, he told himself. I'm alive, live for myself at the foot of the road, the road is to go out, at last the tramp on endless faith out of the desert. He began his new life, travel, speech, telling his story to the world, he is a great literary master socrates.Life teaches us all, more tell us - to live, live, or significance中文对照:坐在椅子上,坐上的咖啡飘着柳絮般的青烟,淡淡的清香萦绕在我的周围。
看着窗外喧闹的人群,行人各色,穿梭时间。
天下熙熙皆为利来,天下攘攘皆为利往。
可我觉得至少他们明白一件事,我还活着,为自己而活。
I am alive。
每天,告诉自己我还活着,多好。
我可以欢笑,可以悲伤,可以爱,可以恨,我尝试着体历人各种的好处,我是一个快乐的人。
生活在现实的世界中,身边的人,总会有自己的小天地,那是属于他们自己的归宿,那是我们的禁区,在那里,我可以尽情地宣泄,大笑,甚至大哭。
因为我也是一样,我有一棵大树,烦恼的时候,我会去找他,对着它倾诉着,然后我会把瓶子埋在树下,那里有我的快乐与伤悲。
每天清晨,我睁开眼睛,看着和煦的阳光,告诉自己,我好幸福。
我可以和朋友聊天,可以陪父母逛街,可以自己做饭,可以全心学习,因为我知道,我很幸福,我为自己而活。
生活给你各种选择,让你哭让你笑,人说,上帝给了你一切,让你喜。

那天,一个流浪汉光着脚丫走到一片沙漠,头顶炎炎的烈日,他累了,因为他走了一天一夜,他以为可以出去。
他很绝望,为什么上帝对我如此不公,让我流浪,还让我来到这荒无人烟的沙漠。
流浪汉坐在沙子上,闭上了眼睛。
梦里,阳光突然变得异常刺眼,流浪汉站起来,抬头饿、望着天上,一个声音传来,“你还活着,是吗
”流浪汉呆呆地望着他,心里无尽的悲伤。
他曾经锦衣玉食,奢靡地享受着仆人给他做的一切,他从没想过自己该做什么,自己会做什么。
家人的去世,让他从天堂到了地狱-至少在他心里如此。
回想着自己的从前流浪汉眼睛已开始模糊。
“孩子,擦去泪水,路在自己脚下,生命在你心中,在你身边,善待你周围的一切,你会发现他的。
”流浪汉蒙蒂做起来,一头的冷汗,摸摸自己的脸颊,泪水滚烫的。
流浪汉振作精神,开始回想着自己曾经的生活。
他很爱天文学,这可能是他曾经每天唯一的一点事情,他爱看夜晚的繁星,爱看夜晚的明月。
“啊,星星
”流浪汉心里想着,自己曾经在书中读到过,夜晚,星星是我们的使者,白天,太阳是我们的领路人。
抬起头,流浪汉想起来梦中的白光,他告诉自己“我还活着,为自己而活”路在脚下,路是走出来的,流浪汉终于靠着不尽得信念走出了沙漠。
他开始了他新的生活,游历,演讲,为世人讲述他的故事,他就是一代文学大师苏格拉底。
生活教给了我们一切,更告诉我们-为自己而活,好好活着,左右意义的事。
