富含哲理雙語(yǔ)美文:在思考中成長(zhǎng)
It seems to me a very difficult thing to put into words the beliefs we hold and what they make you do in your life. I think I was fortunate because I grew up in a family where there was a very deep religious feeling. I don’t think it was spoken of a great deal. It was more or less taken for granted that everybody held certain beliefs and needed certain reinforcements of their own strength and that that came through your belief in God and your knowledge of prayer.
我的信念是什么,它在我的人生中起到了什么作用------這些問(wèn)題我覺(jué)得很難用言語(yǔ)解釋清楚。我認(rèn)為自己很幸運(yùn),因?yàn)槲页錾谝粋€(gè)篤信宗教的家庭。家里人對(duì)宗教談?wù)摰貌⒉欢?。每個(gè)人心中或多或少都有某些信仰,都希望通過(guò)某種方式獲得力量,而這力量就來(lái)自信奉上帝并懂得如何祈禱。
But as I grew older I questioned a great many of the things that I knew very well my grandmother who had brought me up had taken for granted. And I think I might have been a quite difficult person to live with if it hadn’t been for the fact that my husband once said it didn’t do you any harm to learn those things, so why not let your children learn them? When they grow up they’ll think things out for themselves.
我是在祖母身邊長(zhǎng)大的。隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng),我對(duì)許多祖母視作理所當(dāng)然的事產(chǎn)生了懷疑。我甚至拒絕讓孩子們接觸這些東西,似乎成了一個(gè)不近情理的人。直到有一次我丈夫勸我,這些東西你年少時(shí)也接觸過(guò),對(duì)你也并無(wú)壞處。既然如此,何不讓孩子們也有了解它們的機(jī)會(huì)呢?他們長(zhǎng)大以后會(huì)獨(dú)立思考這些問(wèn)題的。
And that gave me a feeling that perhaps that’s what we all must do—think out for ourselves what we could believe and how we could live by it. And so I came to the conclusion that you had to use this life to develop the very best that you could develop.
他的話使我感到或許我們每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該這樣做------獨(dú)立思考自己應(yīng)該信仰什么以及如何在生活中堅(jiān)守自己的的信仰。我認(rèn)為人一生就應(yīng)該盡全力做最好的自己------我想這就是我的信仰。
I don’t know whether I believe in a future life. I believe that all that you go through here must have some value, therefore there must be some reason. And there must be some “going on.” How exactly that happens I’ve never been able to decide. There is a future—that I’m sure of. But how, that I don’t know. And I came to feel that it didn’t really matter very much because whatever the future held you’d have to face it when you came to it, just as whatever life holds you have to face it exactly the same way. And the important thing was that you never let down doing the best that you were able to do—it might be poor because you might not have very much within you to give, or to help other people with, or to live your life with. But as long as you did the very best that you were able to do, then that was what you were put here to do and that was what you were accomplishing by being here.
我不知道自己是否相信未來(lái)。我相信的是我們現(xiàn)在經(jīng)歷的一切一定有價(jià)值,因此必有某些道理,也必然預(yù)示著有些事情“將要發(fā)生”。但這些事情如何發(fā)生,我卻不能決定。一定有未來(lái)------對(duì)此我深信不疑。但它會(huì)怎樣降臨。我不知道,然而著一點(diǎn),我漸漸感到并不重要。因?yàn)闊o(wú)論未來(lái)如何,我們到時(shí)候總得面對(duì),正如無(wú)論生活中發(fā)生了什么,我們都必須面對(duì)一樣。真正重要的是要傾盡自己的全力。也許你能力有限、貢獻(xiàn)不多,無(wú)法給予他人更多的幫助,或者無(wú)法活得那么精彩,但只要你能傾盡自己的全力,你就能完成來(lái)到人世間的使命,能體現(xiàn)人生的價(jià)值。
And so I have tried to follow that out—and not to worry about the future or what was going to happen. I think I am pretty much of a fatalist. You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
這就是我一直奉行的生活原則------不擔(dān)心未來(lái)的事,也不為下一刻發(fā)生的事操心。我想我算是一個(gè)相信宿命的人吧。無(wú)論發(fā)生什么,我們都得勇敢面對(duì),關(guān)鍵是面對(duì)的時(shí)候我們要勇敢,要傾盡自己的全力。
富含哲理雙語(yǔ)美文:身體最重要的部分
My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
從前我母親經(jīng)常問(wèn)我,身體最重要的部位是什么。許多年來(lái),我一直以為自己所想的是正確答案。
When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."
當(dāng)我很小的時(shí)候,我認(rèn)為對(duì)人類(lèi)而言,聲音很重要,因此回答:“媽咪,是耳朵。”
She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
她說(shuō):“不對(duì),有許多人是聾人。但是你繼續(xù)想,不久我會(huì)再問(wèn)你。”
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."
當(dāng)她再度問(wèn)我時(shí),已經(jīng)是好幾年后了。自從第一次回答之后,我就一直仔細(xì)的思考正確答案。所以這次我對(duì)她說(shuō):“媽咪,視覺(jué)對(duì)每個(gè)人都很重要,所以應(yīng)該是我們的眼睛。”
She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."
她看著我,對(duì)我說(shuō):“你學(xué)的很快,但還是不對(duì),因?yàn)橛性S多人是盲人。”
Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No, but
you are getting smarter every year, my child."
往后的年日里她又問(wèn)了我?guī)状?,但她總是回答?ldquo;不對(duì),可是孩子啊,你每年都有進(jìn)步喔。”
Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
去年我祖父去世,每個(gè)人都很傷心,大家都哭了。輪到我們向爺爺做最后的告別時(shí),媽媽看著我,問(wèn)我:“寶貝,你知道身體最重要的部位了嗎?”
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder."
她在這時(shí)候問(wèn)我這個(gè)問(wèn)題,令我嚇了一大跳。我一直以為這只是我和她之間的游戲。她看我一臉迷惑的樣子,對(duì)我說(shuō):“這問(wèn)題很重要,它是你真正理解生活的標(biāo)志。”我看她眼睛里充盈著淚水,她說(shuō):“寶貝,最重要的部位是你的肩膀。”
I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?"
我問(wèn):“是因?yàn)樗苤文X袋嗎?”
She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."
她回答說(shuō):“不,是因?yàn)樽屛覀兊呐笥?、我們所?ài)的人哭泣的時(shí)候,它可以給予依靠。寶貝,每個(gè)人在一生中都會(huì)有需要一個(gè)可以靠著哭泣的肩膀的時(shí)候。我只是希望當(dāng)你需要時(shí),會(huì)有足夠的愛(ài)人和朋友,給你一個(gè)可倚靠哭泣的肩膀。”
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.
從那時(shí)起,我知道身體最重要的部位不是利己的部位,而是對(duì)別人的痛苦能感同身受的部位。
