英语长篇美文欣赏1

　　My father was a self-taught mandolin player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town. He could not read music, but if he heard a tune a few times, he could play it. When he was younger, he was a member of a small country music band. They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had auditioned and earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer. He told the family that after he was hired he never went back. Dad was a very religious man. He stated that there was a lot of drinking and cursing the day of his audition and he did not want to be around that type of environment.

　　Occasionally, Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children: Trisha, Monte and I, George Jr., would often sing along. Songs such as the Tennessee Waltz, Harbor Lights and around Christmas time, the well-known rendition of Silver Bells. "Silver Bells, Silver Bells, its Christmas time in the city" would ring throughout the house. One of Dad's favorite hymns was "The Old Rugged Cross". We learned the words to the hymn when we were very young, and would sing it with Dad when he would play and sing. Another song that was often shared in our house was a song that accompanied the Walt Disney series: Davey Crockett. Dad only had to hear the song twice before he learned it well enough to play it. "Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier" was a favorite song for the family. He knew we enjoyed the song and the program and would often get out the mandolin after the program was over. I could never get over how he could play the songs so well after only hearing them a few times. I loved to sing, but I never learned how to play the mandolin. This is something I regret to this day.

　　Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family he knew we enjoyed singing, and hearing him play. He was like that. If he could give pleasure to others, he would, especially his family. He was always there, sacrificing his time and efforts to see that his family had enough in their life. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own before I realized how much he had sacrificed.

　　I joined the United States Air Force in January of 1962. Whenever I would come home on leave, I would ask Dad to play the mandolin. Nobody played the mandolin like my father. He could touch your soul with the tones that came out of that old mandolin. He seemed to shine when he was playing. You could see his pride in his ability to play so well for his family.

　　When Dad was younger, he worked for his father on the farm. His father was a farmer and sharecropped a farm for the man who owned the property. In 1950, our family moved from the farm. Dad had gained employment at the local limestone quarry. When the quarry closed in August of 1957, he had to seek other employment. He worked for Owens Yacht Company in Dundalk, Maryland and for Todd Steel in Point of Rocks, Maryland. While working at Todd Steel, he was involved in an accident. His job was to roll angle iron onto a conveyor so that the welders farther up the production line would have it to complete their job. On this particular day Dad got the third index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel. The doctor who operated on the finger could not save it, and Dad ended up having the tip of the finger amputated. He didn't lose enough of the finger where it would stop him picking up anything, but it did impact his ability to play the mandolin.

　　After the accident, Dad was reluctant to play the mandolin. He felt that he could not play as well as he had before the accident. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn't play. Eventually, we would wear him down and he would say "Okay, but remember, I can't hold down on the strings the way I used to" or "Since the accident to this finger I can't play as good". For the family it didn't make any difference that Dad couldn't play as well. We were just glad that he would play. When he played the old mandolin it would carry us back to a cheerful, happier time in our lives. "Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier", would again be heard in the little town of Bakerton, West Virginia.

　　In August of 1993 my father was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. He chose not to receive chemotherapy treatments so that he could live out the rest of his life in dignity. About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He made excuses but said "okay". He knew it would probably be the last time he would play for us. He tuned up the old mandolin and played a few notes. When I looked around, there was not a dry eye in the family. We saw before us a quiet humble man with an inner strength that comes from knowing God, and living with him in one's life. Dad would never play the mandolin for us again. We felt at the time that he wouldn't have enough strength to play, and that makes the memory of that day even stronger. Dad was doing something he had done all his life, giving. As sick as he was, he was still pleasing others. Dad sure could play that Mandolin!

　　我父亲是个自学成才的曼陀林琴手，他是我们镇最优秀的弦乐演奏者之一。他看不懂乐谱，但是如果听几次曲子，他就能演奏出来。当他年轻一点的时候，他是一个小乡村乐队的成员。他们在当地舞厅演奏，有几次还为当地广播电台演奏。他经常告诉我们，自己如何试演，如何在佩茜?克莱恩作为主唱的乐队里占一席之位。他告诉家人，一旦被聘用就永不回头。父亲是一个很严谨的人，他讲述了他试演的那天，很多人在喝酒，咒骂，他不想呆在那种环境里。

　　有时候，父亲会拿出曼陀林，为家人弹奏。我们三个小孩：翠莎、蒙蒂和我，还有乔治通常会伴唱。唱的有：《田纳西华尔兹》和《海港之光》，到了圣诞节，就唱脍炙人口的《银铃》："银铃，银铃，城里来了圣诞节。"歌声充满了整个房子。父亲最爱的其中一首赞歌是《古老的十字架》。我们很小的时候就学会歌词了，而且在父亲弹唱的时候，我们也跟着唱。我们经常一起唱的另外一首歌来自沃特?迪斯尼的系列片：《戴维?克罗克特》。父亲只要听了两遍就弹起来了，"戴维，戴维?克罗克特，荒野边疆的国王。"那是我们家最喜欢的歌曲。他知道我们喜欢那首歌和那个节目，所以每次节目结束后，他就拿出曼陀林弹奏。我永远不能明白他如何能听完几遍后就能把一首曲**得那么好。我热爱唱歌，但我没有学会如何弹奏曼陀林，这是我遗憾至今的事情。

　　父亲喜欢为家人弹奏曼陀林，他知道我们喜欢唱歌，喜欢听他弹奏。他就是那样，如果他能把快乐奉献给别人，他从不吝啬，尤其是对他的家人。他总是那样，**自己的时间和精力让家人生活得满足。父亲的这种付出是只有当我长大**，而且是有了自己的孩子后才能体会到的。

　　我在1962年1月加入了**空军基地。每当我休假回家，我都请求父亲弹奏曼陀林。没有人弹奏曼陀林能达到像我父亲那样的境界，他在那古老的曼陀林上抚出的旋律能够触及你的灵魂。他弹奏的时候，身上似乎能发出四射的光芒。你可以看出，父亲为能给家人弹奏出如此美妙的旋律，他是多么的自豪。

　　父亲年轻的时候，曾在农场为爷爷工作。爷爷是农场使用者，要向农场所有人交纳谷物抵租。1950年，我们全家搬离农场，父亲在当地石灰石采石场谋得职位。采石场在1957年倒闭，他只好另觅工作。他曾在马里兰州登多克的欧文斯游艇公司上班，还在马里兰州的洛斯的托德钢铁公司上过班。在托德钢铁公司上班期间，他遇到了意外。他的工作是把有棱角的铁滚到搬运台上，这样焊接工才能作进一步加工来完成整个工序。在那个特殊的日子里，父亲的

　　左手第三个手指被缠在两片钢铁中。医生对手指施手术，但未能保住那只手指，最后父亲只好让医生把那手指的指尖给切除了。那个手指并没有完全丧失拿东西的能力，但是却影响了他弹奏曼陀林的能力。

　　事故后，父亲不太愿意弹奏曼陀林了，他觉得再也不能像以前弹得那么好了。我休假回家请求他弹奏曼陀林，他以种种借口解释不能弹奏的原因。最后，我们软硬兼施逼他就范，他终于说："好吧，但是记住，我拨弦再也不能像过去一样了。"或者会说："这个手指出意外后，我再也不能弹得像过去那样好了。"对于家人来说，父亲弹得好不好并没有分别，我们很高兴他终于弹奏了。当他弹起那把陈旧的曼陀林，就会把我们带回昔日那些无忧无虑的幸福时光。"戴维，戴维?克罗克特，荒野边疆的国王"就会再次响彻西弗吉尼亚州的贝克顿小镇。

　　1993年8月，父亲诊断得了不宜动手术的肺癌。他不想接受化疗，因为他想体面地过完他生命最后的时光。大约在父亲去世的一周前，我们请求他能否为我们弹奏曼陀林，他说了很多借口，最后还是答应了。他知道这可能是他最后一次为我们弹奏了，他为老曼陀林调弦，弹了几个音。我环顾四周，家人个个都泪水满眶。我们看见在我们面前是一个安静的、谦虚的人，以生命最后的力量，用爱的力量支撑着。父亲再也没有足够的力量弹奏，这使我们对那天的记忆更加强烈。父亲做着他一生都在做的事情：奉献。即使生命已走到了尽头，他却仍尽力为他人创造欢乐。没错，父亲一定还能弹奏

　　Age has reached the end of the beginning of a word.

Always feel oneself should go to do something, or write something. Twenty years of life trajectory dee* shallow, suddenly feel something, do it.

　　一字开头的年龄已经到了尾声。或许是愧疚于自己似乎把转瞬即逝的很多个不同的日子过成了同一天的样子；或许是追溯过去，对自己那些近乎偏执的怪异信念的醒悟，这些天以来，思绪一直很凌乱，在脑海中不断纠缠。总觉得自己自己似乎应该去做点什么，或者写点什么。二十年的人生轨迹深深浅浅，突然就感觉到有些事情，非做不可了。

　　The end of our life, and can meet many things really do?

　　而穷尽我们的一生，又能遇到多少事情是真正地非做不可？

　　During my childhood, think lucky money and new clothes are necessary for New Year, but as the advance of the age, will be more and more found that those things are optional; Junior high school, thought to have a crush on just means that the real growth, but over the past three years later, his writing of alumni in peace, suddenly found that isn't really grow up, it seems is not so important; Then in high school, think don't want to give vent to out your inner voice can be in the high school children of the feelings in a period, but was eventually infarction when graduation party in the throat, later again stood on the pitch he has sweat profusely, looked at his thrown a basketball hoops, suddenly found himself has already can't remember his appearance.

　　童年时，觉得压岁钱和新衣服是过年必备，但是随着年龄的推进，会越来越发现，那些东西根本就可有可无；初中时，以为要有一场暗恋才意味着真正的成长，但三年过去后，自己心*气和的写同学录的时候，突然就发现是不是真正的成长了，好像并没有那么重要了；然后到了高中，觉得非要吐露出自己的心声才能为高中生涯里的懵懂情愫划上一个句点，但毕业晚会的时候最终还是被梗塞在了咽喉，后来再次站在他曾经挥汗如雨的球场，看着他投过篮球的球框时，突然间发现自己已经想不起他的容颜。

　　Originally, this world, can produce a chemical reaction to an event, in addition to resolutely, have to do, and time.

　　原来，这个世界上，对某个事件能产生化学反应的，除了非做不可的坚决，还有，时间。

　　A person's time, your ideas are always special to clear. Want, want, line is clear, as if nothing could shake his.

Dislike his cowardice, finally found that there are a lot of love, there are a lot of miss, like shadow really have been doomed. Those who do, just green years oneself give oneself an arm injection, or is a self-righteous spiritual.

　　一个人的时候，自己的想法总是特别地清晰。想要的，不想要的，界限明确，好像没有什么可以撼动自己。也曾经好像已经下定了决心去做某件事，但更多的时候是最后又打起了退堂鼓。嫌恶过自己的怯懦，最终却发现有很多缘分，有很多错过，好像冥冥之中真的已经注定。那些曾经所谓的非做不可，只是青葱年华里自己给自己注射的一支强心剂，或者说，是自以为是的精神寄托罢了。

　　At the moment, the sky is dark, the air is fresh factor after just rained. Suddenly thought of blue plaid shirt; Those were broken into various shapes of stationery; From the corner at the beginning of deep friendship; Have declared the end of the encounter that haven't start planning... Those years, those days of do, finally, like youth, will end in our life.

　　此刻，天空是阴暗的，空气里有着刚下过雨之后的清新因子。突然想到那件蓝格子衬衫；那些被折成各种各样形状的信纸；那段从街角深巷伊始的友谊；还有那场还没有开始就宣告了终结的邂逅计划……那些年那些天的非做不可，终于和青春一样，都将在我们的人生中谢幕。

　　(原文)

　　When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

　　And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

　　And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

　　Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

　　How many loved your moments of glad grace,

　　And loved your beauty with love false or true,

　　But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

　　And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

　　And bending down beside the glowing bars,

　　Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

　　And paced upon the mountains overhead

　　And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

　　当年华已逝

　　当年华已逝，你两鬓斑白，沉沉欲睡，

　　坐在炉边慢慢打盹，请取下我的这本诗集，

　　请缓缓读起，如梦一般，你会重温，

　　你那脉脉眼波，她们是曾经那么的深情和柔美。

　　多少人曾爱过你容光焕发的楚楚魅力，

　　爱你的.倾城容颜，或是真心，或是做戏，

　　但只有一个人!他爱的是你圣洁虔诚的心!

　　当你洗尽铅华，伤逝红颜的老去，他也依然深爱着你!

　　炉里的火焰温暖明亮，你轻轻低下头去，

　　带着淡淡的凄然，为了枯萎熄灭的爱情，喃喃低语，

　　此时他正在千山万壑之间独自游荡，

　　在那满天凝视你的繁星后面隐起了脸庞。

　　How strong are you?

　　你有多强大?

　　That is a tough question to answer, whether you are a man or a woman.

　　不管你是男人还是女人，这都是个很难回答的问题。

　　But, really, I want to ask… how do you define your strength?

　　但是，说实话，我想知道，你是怎么定义力量的呢?

　　How do you know your limits? How do you know just how much you’ve got?

　　你是如何了解自己的局限性?你怎么知道你能做到什么程度?

　　When push comes to shove, we often discover that we are much stronger than we think.

　　当压力来临时，我们会发现我们比想象中要更强大。

　　What is Strength?

　　什么是力量?

　　Strength is not always about pure physical strength. Rather, it is about willpower. Discipline. Drive. It is about the capacity to get things done.

　　力量并不仅仅指你的肌肉力量，它更多的指的是意志力、训练、动力。是一种能够做好事情的能力。

　　I know some people who are intellectually strong, but they get very little done in their jobs. And I know others who find work extremely challenging, but are able to move mountains by their sheer drive and hard work.

　　我知道有一些人虽然很聪明，但是他们在工作中能够做好的事情却很少。而另外一些人虽然知道工作很具有挑战性，但他们仍能通过强大的动力和艰苦的工作来移动大山。

　　They possess inner strength.

　　他们具有强大的内心力量。

　　More interesting, is that these productive hard-workers often don’t even notice the load. Bystanders are not only amazed, but often ask, “How do you do it?”

　　更有趣的是，这些非常努力工作的人并没有意识到工作量的巨大。旁观者不仅感到很吃惊，而且还经常问，“你是怎么做到的?”

　　The answer usually comes back, “I just work harder than the others.”

　　经常得到这样的回答，“我只是比别人更努力一些罢了。”

　　So, why are some people able to do more? What gives them added drive? What gives them extra strength?

　　所以，为什么有些人就能做到更多?他们的动力是哪里来的呢?是谁给予他们多余的力量?

　　Could it be, they have sim* given themselves permission to do more?

　　还是，仅仅是他们自己给自己力量来做到更多?

　　Self-Imposed Limits

　　自我强加的局限性

　　What I have observed is that most people impose their own limits. They limit their output based on self-framed constraints of their capabilities and strengths. Sometimes these boundaries are based on past experiences. Sometimes they are based on perceived capacities. Sometimes these limits are based on nothing.

　　据我所观察，很多人都是自己强加给自己的局限性。他们有时候根据能力和力量自我设定了他们的局限，有时候根据过去的经历设定一些边界，还有的根据想象中的能力设定，还有些则毫无任何根据就限定了自己的力量。

　　I can’t do that. (Why?)

　　我做不到。(为什么呢?)

　　That is too much for me. (How do you know?)

　　对我来说太难了。(你怎么知道太难?)

　　I can’t put in that much effort. (What would happen if you did?)

　　我做不到那么努力。(如果你做了会怎么样?)

　　I am not smart enough to solve that. (Can you be sure if you haven’t tried?)

　　我不够聪明，解决不了这件事。(你不尝试怎么能如此确定?)

　　So, how do we break through these limits? How do we get stronger?

　　所以，怎样才能打破这些局限?怎么才能更强大?

　　Pushing It…

　　给自己点压力

　　Many people are going through the motions, but are nowhere near their limits.

　　很多人都做出了实际行动，但是从来就没有到达他们的极限。

　　If you want to be stronger, you have to push your boundaries.

　　如果你想变得更加强大，你就要打破你的局限。

　　Pushing it is what it takes to increase your limits. In the gym, bodybuilders discovered this long ago. But, the same principle is true when it comes to inner strength. Discipline and drive.

　　给自己施加压力就能提高你的极限。在体育馆，健身者很早之前就体会到了这一点。所以，同样的原则运用到内心力量方面也是正确的，训练自己，给自己一些动力。

　　Want to test your limits? Push yourself. Test your self-perceived constraints to see how accurate they are. Make sure your goals are slightly beyond what you think can be achieved.

　　你想挑战你的极限吗?那就给自己点压力。去测试下自己以前的极限到底有多准确。要确定一个能稍微超过力所能及的目标。

　　You Are Stronger Than You Think

　　你比自己想象的要强大

　　Most people underestimate their strength.

　　很多人低估了自己的能力。

　　As you go through your day, challenge your capacity. Test your limits.

　　当你过每一天的时候，都要挑战一下你的能力，测试下自己的极限。

　　Push yourself, to find your true boundaries and define your strength.

　　给自己施加点压力，找到你真正的极限，然后定义你的能力。

　　When you discover how much you’ve really got, you may surprise even yourself.

　　当你发现你真正能获取的，你会发现自己都感到不可思议。

　　What are your self-imposed limits? Which do you need to push? When have you found that you were much stronger than you thought?

　　你给自己强加的限制是什么?哪一方面需要你增加压力呢?到什么时候你会发现你比想象中要强大呢?

　　We all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why can’t we be more like them? Sometimes we chuck that notion as absurd and unachievable. I would say not so fast. It’s not the big things that make someone extraordinary. It’s the small things.

　　我们都看到或听说过身边那些优秀的人，并在想为什么自己不能和他们一样?有时我们觉得这种想法很荒谬，根本无法实现。我觉得不一定。人并不是因为大事而优秀，而是因为小事才变得卓越。

　　Things that over a period of time have the power to radically change your life. They become extraordinary by making a difference in someone's life. Here are some of the things extraordinary people do every day:

　　发生在一段时间内的事情可以从根本上改变你的生活。优秀的人通过让他人的生活有所不同而变得卓越。下面的几件事是非凡的人每天都会做的。

　　1. They are open to criticism

　　他们乐于接受批评

　　Just because you’re the boss, doesn’t mean you are right every time. It doesn’t mean you have the best ideas. Learn to back up your ideas or decisions with reason. Use logic to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.

　　你是老板，但这不表示你每次都对，不表示你的想法最好。学着用理性来**你的想法或决定。运用逻辑来解释事情 ，而不是运用权威。这样的话你的决策可能会引发批评，但是你却得到了提高的机会。

　　2. They admit their mistakes

　　他们都承认错误

　　My friend’s boss made a huge mistake by tying up with an event management company. The whole purpose of the tie-up was to promote his company but it failed miserably. Instead of defending his idea and carrying on as if nothing happened, he apologised to the team for not including them in the decision making. It’s OK to admit you were wrong. You will not only gain the respect of your team mates, you will also gain credibility.

　　我朋友的老板犯了个大错，他把公司和一个活动管理公司合并了，本来合并是为了提升他的公司，谁知道最后竟是悲惨的结局。他没有为自己的想法辩护，没装作什么也没有发生，而是因自己在做决策时没有考虑到团队的意见而向他们道歉。承认自己做错了没什么大不了。你不仅会获得团队成员的尊敬，而且也会赢得信誉。

　　3. They are generous with compliments

　　他们毫不吝啬赞美之词

　　Remember the time, say in school or at work when you worked really hard but got nothing in return. Not even a thank you. It hurts when your efforts are not recognized. So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple, “That was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employee feel great about them self. A compliment can have a positive impact on their lives. Your team/family will love you for it.

　　还记得你认真学习或努力工作而没有任何回报的时候吧，有时连句“谢谢”都没有。可你的努力不被承认时你会受到打击。所以，当你有机会赞扬他人时，一定要赞扬。一句简单的赞美之词，如“做得真好，继续努力，”会让雇员在很长时间内都会感觉良好。赞美能对他们的生活产生积极的影响。你的团队/家庭也喜欢你这样做。

　　4. They are sensitive to others

　　他们对他人都很**

　　Think about a time you complimented someone and the recipient changed the topic? Maybe he or she was uncomfortable. But you still were not amused were you? Similarly, when you feel awkward receiving a compliment or an award, remain in control and give the person in front of you a genuine smile and thank him or her. Don’t make the moment sour by acting on your insecurities.

　　想一想，有没有这样的时候?你正赞美对方而对方却改变了话题?也许你的赞美令他/她感觉不舒服。但是你会觉得不痛快，对吧?同样地，当你收到赞美之词或奖品时，如果感到尴尬，可以克制自己，给你面前的人报以真正的微笑并谢谢他/她。不要因为不安全感而让那一刻变得不愉快。

　　5. They ask for help

　　他们寻求帮助

　　When you need help, don’t be arrogant or shy and stop yourself. If you’re lost on the road, it is fine to ask for directions. Everyone needs a little help sometime. When you ask for help, you receive help. By doing so, you’re letting people know you’re no superhuman, that you’re willing to listen, you also need support at times…which only show you could become a great leader someday.

　　当你需要帮助时，不要因为自大或害羞而不去向他人求助。如果你迷路了，就去问问别人怎么走。每个人都会在某一时刻需要帮助。当你寻求帮助时，会有人帮助你。这样做，你会让人知道你不是超人，你愿意倾听，你有时也需要别人的**……这表明有一天你也可能成为伟大的**。

　　6. They apologize when needed

　　他们该道歉的时候就道歉

　　We all make mistakes, but what makes a person big is when he is ready to apologize. Don’t try to hide behind excuses: “I didn’t mean to say it, it just happened.” “I was irritated with such and such person so…” No. Don’t try to shift blame. Just come right out and say you’re sorry.

　　我们都会犯错，但优秀的人勇于道歉。不要试图找借口：“我不是这个意思。”“我被这样的人激怒了……”不要这样。不要试图推卸责任。直接说你错了。

　　7. They are willing to learn

　　他们乐于学习

　　When you don’t understand how something works, let an expert show you. When you let someone teach you something, you are telling the person that you respect their talent, time and that you believe he knows what he is talking about. That you respect their experience. Always be willing to learn, because there is no way in hell to know everything.

　　当你不清楚事物的原理时，让专家给你解释。当你让别人教你东西时，你是在告诉别人你尊敬他的天赋、时间，你相信他的话。你佩服他们的经验。永远要乐于学习，因为这是认识世间万物的唯一途径。

　　8. They are helpful

　　他们乐于助人

　　Never hesitate to help someone. It’s fairly simple but it goes a long way. Don’t be non-committal and say something vague like, “Can I help you?” because they might just say, “No, I’m good.” The key is to not sound patronizing. Be specific. “I had the same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. I think I have figured a way to make it work.” Offer in a way that feels mutually beneficial.

　　能助人时且助人。说起来容易做起来难。不要害怕承诺并说一些模糊的话，“需要我的帮忙吗?”因为别人可能以为你只是说说，“不，我很好。”并要注意不要以恩人自居。要具体一点.” 早晨我也碰到这个咖啡机出现过同样的问题。我觉得我想到了一个办法能把它修好。”用一种互惠互利的方式去帮助他人。

　　9. They are expressive

　　他们愿意表达自己

　　They are not bottled up. They feel something they verbalize it. Then be it pulling someone for not working hard or congratulating someone on their wonderful performance. This behaviour is not only restricted to work, but is applied to every aspect of their life.

　　他们不把话憋在肚子里。他们把感觉用语言表达出来。有人不努力工作就督促他，有人做得很好就祝贺他。这种方式不仅限于工作，而且适用于生活的方方面面。

　　10. They’re in charge of their emotions

　　他们能**情感

　　Sometimes it is very important to stay mum. Especially when you’re angry or irritated or bitter, you don’t want to end up saying things you didn’t really mean to. So they take their time, they process their emotions, thin back to what happened, and then come to a decision about how to tackle it. Before you say anything, consider other’s feelings. Never be rash with words or actions.

　　有时保持沉默是非常重要的。尤其是当你生气、被激怒或很痛苦时。你不想说一些让别人误会的话。优秀的人很从容，他们能**自己的情感，想想发生过的事情，然后决定如何处理。在说话之前，考虑他人的感受。不要轻率说话或行动。

　　I remember quite clearly now when the story happened.

Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been 2)longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely 3)conscious, you said: “Our story is ending.”

　　The rain was killing the last days of summer. You had been killing my last breath of love, since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I’m watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.

　　我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候。秋叶翻飞，飘落一地。我们曾经孩子般戏水畅游过的小湖盖满落叶，在太阳下闪着光。那时我们幸福过。哦，我是这样认为的。可事实上你早就想离开我，你只是不敢告诉我罢了。在那美丽的夜晚，眼望湖水，恍惚中听见你说：我们的故事已到尽头。

　　雨水扼杀着所剩无几的夏日，而你很久以来也在扼杀我奄奄一息的爱。但我仍不认为自己会再去经历另一段爱情故事。你把一切都带走了。我只有悄然伫立，早已明白自己将会是那个被遗弃的人。而我依然凝望着湖水，恍惚中，我知道生命正离我而去。

　　To be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: “I will take an interest in this or that.” Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human being may be pided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual laborer, tired out with a hard week’s sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.

　　It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are pided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune’s favored children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vacation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a persion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.

　　译文：

　　要想真正生活得幸福和**，一个人至少应该有两三种业余爱好，而且必须是真正的爱好。到了晚年才开始说“我要培养这个或那个兴趣”是毫无用处的，种这种尝试只会增加精神上的重担。在与自己日常工作无关的领域中，一个人可以获得渊博的知识，但却很难有所收益或得到放松。做自己喜欢的事是无益的，你得喜欢自己所做的.事。广言之，人可以分为三个类别：劳累而死的人，忧虑而死的人和无聊而死的人。对于那些体力劳动者来说，一周辛苦的工作使他们精疾力竭，因此在周六下午给他们提供踢足球或者打棒球的机会是没有意义的。对于政界人士，专业人士或者商人来说，他们已经为棘手的事务操劳或者烦恼了六天，因此在周末请他们为琐事劳神同样毫无意义。

　　或者可以这么说，理智的，奋斗的，有用的人可以分为两类：对第一类人而言，工作就是工作，娱乐就是娱乐；对于第二类人而言，工作和娱乐是合二为一的。很大一部分人属于前者。他们可以得到相应的补偿。在办公室或工厂里长时间的工作，不仅带给他们维持生计的金钱，还带给他们一种渴求娱乐的强烈欲望，哪怕这种娱乐消遣是以最简单，最淳朴的方式进行的。而第二类人则是命运的宠儿。他们的生活自然而**。在他们看来，工作时间永远不够多，每天都是假期；而当正常的假日到来时，他们总会抱怨自己有趣的休假被强行中断。然而，有一些东西对于这两类人来说都十分必要，那就是变换一下视角，改变一下气氛，尝试做点不同的事情。事实上，那些把工作看作娱乐的人可能是需要以某种方式将工作不时地驱赶出自己的大脑。

　　Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education, in the elder, a part of experience. He that travelleth into a country, before he hath some entrance into the language, goeth to school, and not to travel. That young men travel under some tutor, or grave servant, I allow well; so that he be such a one that hath the language, and hath been in the country before; whereby he may be able to tell them what things are worthy to be seen, in the country where they go; what acquaintances they are to seek; what exercises, or discipline, the place yieldeth. For else, young men shall go hooded, and look abroad little.

　　It is a strange thing, that in sea voyages, where there is nothing to be seen, but sky and sea, men should make diaries; but in land-travel, wherein so much is to be observed, for the most part they omit it; as if chance were fitter to be registered, than observation. Let diaries, therefore, be brought in use. The things to be seen and observed are: the courts of princes, especially when they give audience to ambassadors; the courts of justice, while they sit and hear causes; and so of consistories ecclesiastic; the churches and monasteries, with the monuments which are therein extant; the walls and fortifications of cities, and towns, and so the heavens and harbors; antiquities and ruins; libraries; colleges, disputations, and lectures, where any are; shipping and navies; houses and gardens of state and pleasure, near great cities; armories; arsenals; magazines; exchanges; burses; warehouses; exercises of horsemanship, fencing, training of soldiers, and the like; comedies, such whereunto the better sort of persons do resort; treasuries of jewels and robes; cabinets and rarities; and, to conclude, whatsoever is memorable, in the places where they go.

　　After all which, the tutors, or servants, ought to make diligent inquiry. As for triumphs, masks, feasts, weddings, funerals, capital executions, and such shows, men need not to be put in mind of them; yet are they not to be neglected. If you will have a young man to put his travel into a little room, and in short time to gather much, this you must do. First, as was said, he must have some entrance into the language before he goeth. Then he must have such a servant, or tutor, as knoweth the country, as was likewise said. Let him carry with him also, some card or book, describing the country where he travelleth; which will be a good key to his inquiry. Let him keep also a diary.

　　Let him not stay long, in one city or town; more or less as the place deserveth, but not long; nay, when he stayeth in one city or town, let him change his lodging from one end and part of the town, to another; which is a great adamant of acquaintance. Let him sequester himself, from the company of his countrymen, and diet in such places, where there is good company of the nation where he travelleth. Let him, upon his removes from one place to another, procure recommendation to some person of quality, residing in the place whither he removeth; that he may use his favor, in those things he desireth to see or know. Thus he may abridge his travel, with much profit.

　　As for the acquaintance, which is to be sought in travel; that which is most of all profitable, is acquaintance with the secretaries and employed men of ambassadors: for so in travelling in one country, he shall suck the experience of many. Let him also see, and visit, eminent persons in all kinds, which are of great name abroad; that he may be able to tell, how the life agreeth with the fame. For quarrels, they are with care and discretion to be avoided. They are commonly for mistresses, healths, place, and words. And let a man beware, how he keepeth company with choleric and quarrelsome persons; for they will engage him into their own quarrels.

　　When a traveller returneth home, let him not leave the countries, where he hath travelled, altogether behind him; but maintain a correspondence by letters, with those of his acquaintance ,which are of most worth. And let his travel appear rather in his discourse, than his apparel or gesture; and in his discourse, let him be rather advised in his answers, than forward to tell stories; and let it appear that he doth not change his country manners, for those of foreign parts; but only prick in some flowers, of that he hath learned abroad, into the customs of his own country.

　　"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked.

　　When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.

　　Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred. When he rushed home from school one day and flung himself into his mother's arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks.

　　He blurted out the tragedy. "A boy, a big boy...called me a freak."

　　He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music.

　　"But you might mingle with other young people," his mother reproved him, but felt a kindness in her heart.

　　The boy's father had a session with the family physician... "Could nothing be done?"

　　"I believe I could graft on a pair of outer ears, if they could be procured," the doctor decided. Whereupon the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man.

　　Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret."

　　The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged. His talents blossomed into genius, and school and college became a series of triumphs.

　　Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. One day, he asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her."

　　"I do not believe you could," said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to know...not yet."

　　The years kept their profound secret, but the day did come. One of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother's casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.

　　"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"

　　Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that ps the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.

　　我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园诗般的风光! 我们仿佛身处一次横贯**的漫漫旅程之中! 乘着火车, 我们领略着窗外流动的景色：附近高速公路上奔驰的汽车、十字路口处招手的孩童、远山上吃草的牛群、源源不断地从电厂排放出的烟尘、一片片的玉米和小麦、*原与山谷、群山与绵延的丘陵、天空映衬下城市的轮廓, 以及乡间的庄园宅第!

　　But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

　　然而我们心里想得最多的却是最终的目的地! 在某一天的某一时刻, 我们将会抵达进站! 迎接我们的将是乐队和飘舞的彩旗! 一旦到了那儿, 多少美梦将成为现实, 我们的生活也将变得完整, 如同一块理好了的拼图! 可是我们现在在过道里不耐烦地踱来踱去, 咒骂火车的拖拖拉拉! 我们期待着, 期待着, 期待着火车进站的那一刻!

　　"When we reach the station, that will be it! "we cry. "When I'm 18. ""When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz! ""When I put the last kid through college. ""When I have paid off the mortgage!""When I get a promotion.""When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! "

　　"当我们到站的时候, 一切就都好了! "我们呼喊着! "当我18岁的时候! ""当我有了一辆新450SL奔驰的时候! ""当我供最小的孩子念完大学的时候! ""当我偿清贷款的时候! ""当我官升高任的时候! ""当我到了退休的时候, 就可以从此过上幸福的生活啦! "

　　Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.

　　可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站, 也没有能够"一到永逸"的地方!生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程, 而车站不过是个梦, 它始终遥遥领先于我们!

　　"Relish the moment "is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118：24："This is the day which the Lord hath made;we will rejoice and be glad in it. "It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

　　"享受现在"是句很好的箴言, 尤其是当它与《**·诗篇》中第118页24行的一段话相映衬的时候, 更是如此："今日乃主所创造;生活在今日我们将欢欣、高兴! "真正令人发疯的不是今日的负担, 而是对昨日的悔恨及对明日的恐惧! 悔恨与恐惧是一对孪生窃贼, 将今天从你我身边偷走!

　　So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.

　　那么就不要在过道里徘徊吧, 别老惦记着你离车站还有多远! 何不换一种活法, 将更多的高山攀爬, 多吃点儿冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴, 经常光着脚板儿溜达溜达, 在更多的河流里畅游, 多看看夕阳西下, 多点欢笑哈哈, 少让泪水滴答! 生活得一边过一边瞧! 车站就会很快到达!

　　春之惑：千娇媚，万物生

　　春回大地百花笑，千娇媚，万物生。

　　你看，花儿已开;你瞧，春儿正撩。春草绿了，嬉逍遥;风迭花香，枝头闹。春儿是春儿，花儿是花儿。

　　岁月的宁静，片瓣含芳;黎明前的萌动，恬静悠扬;叨人的情长，轻挠过往;怡淡的春光，欣然焚香。隽永铭心的芳，憩着记忆的床;柔情才发酿，幸福却源长。停不下的岁月，拦不住的时光，走着走着，春花就开了。

　　“迟日江山丽，春风花草香。泥融飞燕子，沙暖睡鸳鸯。”瞧，风儿已吹皱了一池春水，淘气的雨儿也早已唤醒了沉睡的九州。那桃花初逢的悸动，杏花乍泄的红晕，杨柳依依，“天地合而万物生，阴阳接而变化起。”你看，你瞧，春天那可真是处处一幅幅五彩缤纷的画，鼻鼻一缕缕沁人心脾的香。

　　“一夜春风吹寒楼，屋后阴柳翘梢头。去年故里桃红醉，今宵酒醒凉水洲。对笑昔日鸿鹄志，可怜此刻青云厚。何必千里

　　我们感悟春天，走进春天，释怀春天，我们张开怀抱欢迎春天。如果说喜欢春天，不如说喜欢春风，喜欢生机，喜欢希望。我们双手合十，在春天焚下渴望，焚下向往，焚下那上苍保佑我们今年的健健康康。或许，只是因为春是那深入人心的圣水，春是那心底最深情的呼唤，春是我们心灵永久的天堂。春天，我们驾着希望而来;春天，我们迈着矫健的步伐而来。我们喜欢春天，我们向往春天，我们也时时刻刻的感受着春天的温暖与期盼，但也许在世界万物中渺小的我们，唯一能与春同步的，也只是我们年轻奋发的心胸和那为未来一步一个脚印脚踏实地的行动。如今春又回来，那些偷偷溜走的时光，虽催老了我们的容颜，但丰盈了我们的人生。

　　筚路蓝缕，玉汝于成。无生也有涯，而知也无涯。四季虽能轮回，但生命不会重来。毕竟春种一粒粟，秋收万颗子。只有付出，才有收获。或许，生活不是在等着暴风雨过去，而是学会在风雨中欣然起舞。一只站在树上的鸟儿，从来不会害怕树枝断裂，因为它相信的不是树枝，而是自己的翅膀。如果我们都希望一切可以变得更加美好，那么与其每天担心未来，不如从此改变自己，努力趁现在。

　　旅途中，我们总要走陌生的路，看陌生的风景，听陌生的歌。或许，生命她本身就是一场奇异的旅行，遇见谁都是一个美丽的意外。你不是唐僧，我也不是大圣，所有的面临大海也不会都是****。或许这*凡的世界里，只要自己还能咬着牙坚持，那就不算太糟糕。那无妨就“不要想明天，走过一天就笑一天。”毕竟人生只售单程票，过去的就过去了，那就没有必要频频再回首，在哪里存在，不如就在哪里绽放。

　　“庸人败于惰，能人败于傲。”多少已散的宴席，是望不到永恒而后会无期;多少擦肩的缘分，是得不到圆满而悄然离去。人心都是相对的，以真换真;感情都是相互的，用心换心。我们可以没有很多东西，但却唯独不能没***。用眼睛去看的，那是别人的故事;用心去感知的，那才是自己的人生。如果我们该奋斗的时候奋斗了，该拼搏的时候拼搏了。缘在天意，份在人为，毕竟生活中没有什么是一成不变的，而我们却只有唯一一个选择，那就是对生活对未来充满希望，一步一个脚印的踏踏实实的往前走，一直向前走。人生有限，道路无限，或许一个人的脚步再大，他也永远无法丈量完脚下所有的道路。而如果我们要想在有限的生命中多走一程多看一处风景，那就需要轻声的告诉自己时时刻刻提醒自己：别停下那已经有些沉重的脚步，别浪费那已经快过去的分分秒秒。

　　凉月读懂了离愁，落花寻得了净土，江河弥渡了方舟，飞鹰读懂了苍穹。原来，在万物之前，我也可以是面镜子，站在自己的面前，我看万物。万物看我，我是万物。我看万物，万物是我。万物生，由心生，由爱生，由我生。千娇媚，而万物生。

　　萨顶顶的《万物生》，醍醐灌顶，涤荡心灵，当她那天籁般的歌声在东方遥遥响起时，世界仿佛一瞬间就此沉静了下来，每个人的心灵里都不由的产生了一股顶礼膜拜的冲动。原来，那佛意的虔诚，礼教的诚恳，一直孕育着万物生灵。景儿，不会因为我们的漠视明日便会消殆;花儿，也不会因为我们的疏离来年不再盛开。一花一世界，一叶一菩提。当我们潜心醉心于自己之前，万物都恍若那一滴水的清透圆润，一朵花的娇艳明媚;而在万物之前，“我”原来就是那一滴水或者一朵花。我们清楚的知道，姹紫嫣红的春光固然赏心悦目，却也抵不过四季流转，该开幕时总会开幕，该散场时总要散场。但我们可以在心中植一株永恒的菩提，四季常青不改。

　　美文

　　只有走出来的美丽，没有登出来的辉煌。也许，人生的寻找，不在于千山万水而在于咫尺之间。没有走不到顶的山，只有找不到路的人。只有想不通的人，没有走不通的路。生命中许多事情在于自己，很多感受在于个人。世界上最难读的是人的心，而我们却往往看不透也读不懂自己。或许，人生不是梦，因为太真实;生活不是水，因为有苦涩。那么一个人的一生，不仅是在品尝自己“千娇媚”的一生，而更是在读自己的万物生。既要活的明白，又要装的了糊涂。也许，“只要心是晴朗的，人生就没有下雨天。”

　　鹪鹩巢于深林，不过一枝;鼹鼠饮河，不过满腹。容貌天成，浮华身外，心里如满是阳光，也许你就已经找到了那永恒不变的天堂。“万物生于道，必归于道，远逝必返归。”心灵的坦然，生活的从容，万物生中那一点微红，一直为你为我守着虔诚焚下佛香，洒满那每一天每一份的希望。

　　你瞧，天是那么的蓝，地是那么的绿，水是那么的清，而我们也不过只是万物中的一份子，生命的成长，万物的从容，那不如让自己活出自己，活出生活的努力，活出生命的心安，活出只有自己的天堂。生活里毕竟总会面对一些失落和无助，辛苦和困难，每个人对生命的责任，就是在经历中更加坚强，用积极的心态去化解那些负面的情绪和能量，能够重新认识生活，拓宽思维，让那些积极的力量在生命里潜移默化，提高生命的质量，活出生命积极的价值取向，去面对所有的负能量。

　　那么，春天伊始，要哭不妨哭出激动的泪水，要笑不妨笑出成长的性格。因为春天我们已经启航，春天不再允许我们这样。春天，我们要前进奋发，扶摇直上。不求与人时时相比，但求刻刻超越自己。那么。我们不妨为自己加油，为自己喝彩，因为只要还有明天，今天就是那未来永久的起跑线。

　　生活毕竟只是一段匆忙的行走，她不曾赋予我们太多的失意，所以也定然无法包容我们内心的哀伤与惋惜。倘若，执意把生活比作风景，那不妨在纵横交错的斑驳里加几许禅意，用慈悲的心去换取生活的随意和心灵的`安放。亦从此*凡的世界里不失一种自然的清韵和处变不惊的镇定优雅。

　　静观大自然的“千娇媚”绝不是所谓的学习，而是在这种生长能量的强烈共鸣中体会到自己真正的存在。也许，那天地间唯一永恒不变的事物，那就是万事万物都在一刻不停地发生着改变。正因为生命力不是习得的，生命力是所有生灵的天赋异禀。那么。我们何不允许自己，剥离一切虚幻的思维，剥离一切非实相的情绪，以生命的本然面貌破壳而出呢?

　　路要走多久，才能清清凉凉;心要恕多久，才能不再与往事相望?显然，万物空空无一物，物我两相忘。那谁又是谁的一往情深，谁又是谁的青梅竹马?那一纸墨香清晰了谁的双眼?一帘碎片又模糊了谁的视线?也许，一眼百念生，一空万物恒。故，对人事的优劣而言，没有最好，只有更好。但对于人生的态度而言。我们尽力也许就是最好。

　　瞬间严冬已逝，春天悄悄的来到了人间。春天，是个美好的季节，它预示着一个生机勃勃的时机已经开始。那么，你是否会惊喜的看见：你零落在凡尘俗世里的生命，和这些自然界的生灵一样圣洁而美妙，高贵而值得肃然起敬呢?古往今来，人们几乎用尽了所用美好的词语来形容来赞美春天，一切皆因为春天万物复苏，景色宜人，她充满着朝气，孕育着希望。

　　万物生，生万物，而我们也不过是万物中的一份子，在春回大地百花笑中，千娇媚着自己的生活，万物生长着自己的灵魂。

　　轻拂，这细细的风，是谁的心事，在款款步入的浅夏里盛开…

　　浅夏，夜色如绵柔的细雨，浸湿了相宿相栖的鸳鸯梦，隔着一朵夏花的烂漫笑靥，与我对望…

　　安静的夜，听着细细声风声，别无其他。不想惊扰一丝夜色，枕着一弯新月，临池塘入睡…

　　梦，温暖了那些时光深处遗落的流年，挽落一分红霓，在这个夜里，成一季的香…

　　窗外、一朵花呢喃着紫色的芳香，袅袅而来，与我重逢，蓦然，我眼角就溢出泪，听着她思绪如海，素年，却都隐在这时光里…

　　也许，时光就是这样，一抹留白，一份轻柔，一段执念，那发丝拂过的泪痕，那相拥入怀的曾今，散落成一段段无人知晓的文字，成一段荒芜，一段陌路天涯…

　　流年，似这江南的烟火，被记在泛黄的文字里，那年，你说：你是我世界最美的花，要用最美的姿态凋零……，心底，忽、漫起细细的雨声，在我眼底，雨色濛濛……于是，那年以后，我将所有的光阴都描摹成一朵花开的模样，用清瘦的笔画一隅温暖，收留所有过往的漂泊，

　　花影抚疏的夜隐在窗外，不想推开窗，我想生生坐成一阙青词，写一个人，写一段事，沿一笔心事，在这夏夜里行舟千里，在一泓诗意中研墨，让等待良久的旧念，漾起满满的暖，落在这夜色的眸底，染爱流年，光阴沉香，让今霄的夜，成一色烟雨，吟墨绽放，在一段文字里，倒影昔年…

　　于是，养一枚花在心海，养在流年与生命之间，守望蒹葭，让淡淡的香气，掀起梦影的竹帘…

　　窗外，有紫槐的香气，湝薇夏，夜纯净似瞳眸，馥香流年，轻语指尖…

　　夜很静，如我心中的晚笛，悠扬着时光的轻语，随夜风蹁跹成一抹温馨的忧伤，我目光中的婉柔，如水，缓缓游弋，夜如澜，你在彼岸，我在此岸…

　　回首来时路，冥冥中，我们是在等前世山盟约定的归人，当一场芳菲暖心的梦，远去，再远去，已分不清哪是咫尺，又哪一刻又是天涯，我在路上，你，在心中，谁开始有了牵挂，只是光阴的那头的旧址，已落满厚厚的尘埃……

　　深深浅浅的足迹，是一枚种子，低眉，便开出一朵绚丽的花，如我前世手中的一株青莲，陪我青灯月素，写进年轮的一卷经书，你不在，我在，我还在…

　　夜，像一片深沉的海，只是不知，望断天涯的人在何方，夜，在一笺纸上，有我写下的长长短短的句子，静落眉间，湿了心田，如我眉睫的轻吻，在无尽的夜色中风干…

　　往事太多，会在一行诗句里，眉梢晕染，潺潺留香。

　　一杯淡茶，已经变冷，如这初夏的夜，不知不觉间有一些薄凉。几处闲愁，几枚泪痕，长成我掌心里的温柔，以一灯的禅悟，讲红尘往事，讲没有痛苦的孤独，只是关于你的词句，在心海无法泅渡……

　　也许，记忆太长，成了月光下的影子，寂寞成了情人，我便学会在一壶酒，一盏茶，一枝笔，一段文字里清修，在孑然的默念里皈依，岁月一步步远离，而我，却从不曾走远…

　　也许，相逢无语，我与你，只活在一阕泛黄词里，那真情的段略，安放着你我的灵魂…当今夜风起，吹过你的眉弯，我和你在看着同样的月光…

　　

　　[三]

　　时光，如白驹过隙，一转眼，春已走远…

　　温凉的风，轻轻划开夏的门扉，春的情思不知凋落何处。夏已含着花香，被风带走了那么远…

　　只有我的几分旧念，合着这季节静悄悄地步覆，散落在江南的夜色里，蔓延成嫩嫩的新芽，瞬时间，长满了整个季节的墙…

　　好多的心情，还沒在春季的土地栽下，便跌落在扑面而来的夏里…

　　一些人，一些事，被淡望，，只有阡陌红尘里的心殇难言，温婉成一首动情泣人的短章，在我生命的路口，写一首欢喜之歌，让流年里记忆，成永远的风景…

　　让心静默吧，做一场微笑相拥的梦，来去之间山水情浓，成一朿盛开的陌上风烟…

　　窗外的花，开在温柔的夜色里，几分楚楚，惹人怜惜。我躲在她的香气中，执字抒怀，迎风写诗，让疲惫不堪的心，枕着温柔宁静入睡…

　　一生长路，一程风雨，一种人生，在生命悠长的奔赴里，我们就这样，一路倾付着，一路亏欠着，在多情与无情间徘徊迷离，一些折叠在光阴里的记忆绕指叩心，在梦里悄然寂灭…

　　也许，可以期待一个明媚的夏，斑驳的来去。然后，等一缕风，温和的吹过，一如你我的时光，一如你我……在梦的尽头，与我对望。
