《谈生命》冰心 我不敢说生命是什么,我只能说生命像什么。 生命像向东流的一江春水,他从最高处发源,冰雪是他的前身。他聚集起许多细流,合成一股有力的洪涛,向下奔注,他曲折的穿过了悬崖峭壁,冲倒了层沙积土,挟卷着滚滚的沙石,快乐勇敢地流走,一路上他享受着他所遭遇的一切: 有时候他遇到巉岩前阻,他愤激地奔腾了起来,怒吼着,回旋着,前波后浪的起伏催逼,直到他过了,冲倒了这危崖他才心平气和的一泻千里。有时候他经过了细细的平沙,斜阳芳草里,看见了夹岸红艳的桃花,他快乐而又羞怯,静静地流着,低低的吟唱着,轻轻地度过这一段浪漫的行程。 有时候他遇到暴风雨,这激电,这迅雷,使他心魂惊骇,疾风吹卷起他,大雨击打着他,他暂时浑浊了,扰乱了,而雨过天晴,只加给他许多新生的力量。 有时候他遇到了晚霞和新月,向他照耀,向他投影,清冷中带些幽幽的温暖:这时他只想憩息,只想睡眠,而那股前进的力量,仍催逼着他向前走…… 终于有一天,他远远地望见了大海,呵!他已到了行程的终结,这大海,使他屏息,使他低头,她多么辽阔,多么伟大!多么光明,又多么黑暗!大海庄严的伸出臂儿来接引他,他一声不响地流入她的怀里。他消融了,归化了,说不上快乐,也不有悲哀! 也许有一天,他再从海上蓬蓬地雨点中升起,飞向西来,再形成一道江流,再冲倒两旁的石壁,再来寻夹岸的桃花。然而我不敢说来生,也不敢相信来生! 生命又像一颗小树,他从地底聚集起许多生力,在冰雪下欠伸,在早春润湿的泥土中,勇敢快乐的破壳出来。他也许长在平原上,岩石上,城墙上,只要他抬头看见了天,呵!看见了天!他便伸出嫩叶来吸收空气,承受阳光,在雨中吟唱,在风中跳舞。 他也许受着大树的荫遮,也许受着大树的覆压,而他青春生长的力量,终使他穿枝拂叶的挣脱了出来,在烈日下挺立抬头!他遇着骄奢的春天,他也许开出满树的繁花,蜂蝶围绕着他飘翔喧闹,小鸟在他枝头欣赏唱歌,他会听见黄莺清吟,杜鹃啼血,也许还听见枭鸟的怪鸣。 他长到最茂盛的中年,他伸展出他如盖的浓荫,来荫庇树下的幽花芳草,他结出累累的果实,来呈现大地无尽的甜美与芳馨。秋风起了,将他叶子,由浓绿吹到绯红,秋阳下他再有一番的庄严灿烂,不是开花的骄傲,也不是结果的快乐,而是成功后的宁静和怡悦! 终于有一天,冬天的朔风把他的黄叶干枝,卷落吹抖,他无力的在空中旋舞,在根下呻吟,大地庄严的伸出臂儿来接引他,他一声不响的落在她的怀里。他消融了,归化了,他说不上快乐,也没有悲哀! 也许有一天,他再从地下的果仁中,破裂了出来。又长成一棵小树,再穿过丛莽的严遮,再来听黄莺的歌唱,然而我不敢说来生,也不敢信来生。 宇宙是个大生命,我们是宇宙大气中之一息。江流入海,叶落归根,我们是大生命中之一叶,大生命中之一滴。在宇宙的大生命中,我们是多么卑微,多么渺小,而一滴一叶的活动生长合成了整个宇宙的进化运行。要记住:不是每一道江流都能入海,不流动的便成了死湖;不是每一粒种子都能成树,不生长的便成了空壳!生命中不是永远快乐,也不是永远痛苦,快乐和痛苦是相生相成的。等于水道要经过不同的两岸,树木要经过常变的四时。在快乐中我们要感谢生命,在痛苦中我们也要感谢生命。快乐固然兴奋,苦痛又何尝不美丽?我曾读到一个警句,它说“愿你生命中有够多的云翳,来造成一个美丽的黄昏”。
生命即是奇迹 Miraculous Upon hearing her evaluation I became furious for I thought, "Who is she to tell me what I can or cannot do. She does not even know me. I am a very determined and stubborn person!" I believe it was at that very moment that I decided I would somehow, someday return to college. It took me a long time and a lot of hard work but I finally returned to the University of Texas in the fall of 1983 - a year and a half after almost dying. The next few years in Austin were very difficult for me, but I truly believe that in order to see beauty in life you have to experience some unpleasantness. Maybe I have experienced too much unpleasantness, but I believe in living each day to the fullest, and doing the very best I can. And each new day was very busy and very full, for besides attending classes at the University I underwent therapy three to five days each week at Brackenridge Hospital. If this were not enough I flew to Houston every other weekend to work with Tom Williams, a trainer and executive who had worked for many colleges and professional teams and also had helped many injured athletes, such as Earl Campbell and Eric Dickerson. Through Tom I learned: "Nothing is impossible and never, never give up or quit." Early, during my therapy, my father kept repeating to me one of his favorite sayings. I have repeated it almost every day since being hurt: "Mile by mile it's a trial; yard by yard it's hard; but inch by inch it's a cinch." I thought of those words, and I thought of Tom, my family and Sharon who believed so strongly in me as I climbed the steps to receive my diploma from the Dean of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas on that bright sunny afternoon in June of 1986. Excitement and pride filled my heart as I heard the dean announce that I had graduated with "highest honors", been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and been chosen as one of 12 Dean's Distinguished Graduates out of 1600 in the College of Liberal Arts. The overwhelming emotions and feelings that I experienced at that very moment, when most of the audience gave me a standing 17)ovation, I felt would never again be matched in my life-not even when I graduated with a masters degree in social work and not even when I became employed full time at the Texas Pain and Stress Center. But I was wrong! On May 24, 1987, I realized that nothing could ever match the joy I felt as Sharon and I were married. Sharon, my high school sweetheart of nine years, had always stood by me, through good and bad times. To me, Sharon is my miracle, my diamond in a world filled with problems, hurt, and pain. It was Sharon who dropped out of school when I was hurt so that she could constantly be at my side. She never wavered or gave up on me. It was her faith and love that pulled me through so many dark days. While other nineteen year old girls were going to parties and enjoying life, Sharon devoted her life to my recovery. That, to me, is the true definition of love. After our beautiful wedding I continued working part time at the Pain Center and completed my work for a masters degree. We were extremely happy, but even happier when we learned Sharon was pregnant. On July 11, 1990 at 12:15 a.m. Sharon woke me with the news: "We need to go to the hospital… my water just broke." I couldn't help but think how ironic it was that my life almost ended in a convenience store and now on the date "7-11" we were about to bring a new life into this world. This time it was my turn to help Sharon as she had helped me over those past years. She was in labor for 15 hours. At 3:10 p.m. Sharon and I experienced the birth of our beautiful daughter, Shawn Elyse Segal! Tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes as our healthy, alert, wonderful daughter entered this world. We anxiously counted her 10 fingers and her 10 toes and watched her wide eyes take in the world about her. It was truly a beautiful picture that was 18)etched in my mind forever as she lie in her mother's waiting arms, just minutes after her birth. At that moment I thanked God for blessing us with the greatest miracle of all-Shawn Elyse Segal. 赏析: This article goes all aroud a theme that life itself is just a wonder,and what impressed me most is her father's words"Nothing is impossible and never, never give up or quit",from which we could see a father's love towards his daughter.It's classical,yes,life is just a wonder,so how can we easily give up ourselves facing difficulties?Just believe life's a wonder,and we'll surely make wonders.In this article 3 stories happened upon the auther himself was told,and each earned me more tear,I really moved by the auther's perseverance deeply.You may not be a winner before,but after reading this article you're surely to change a lot.Believe me,believe yourself,you can make wonders.
Story of Regret(悲情罗曼史) There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear.He believed that here would definitely be someone special out there for him,but none came. Every year at Christmas,his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up.He was aware that she still held some hope of rekindling[1] the past romance with him.He did not wish to mislead her in any way.So he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back. That went on for several years and each year,the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest.So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him,she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy. The girl took all those rather well,often trying to casually tease[2] him about his different girl friends,or so,as it seemed!In fact,the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl,but she was too pround to admit it.Still,every Christmas,she returned,hoping to rekindle some form of romance.But each time,she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed. Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer.Therefore,she confronted him and professed[3] that after all those years,he was still the only man that she has ever loved.Although the guy knew of her feelings for him,he was still taken aback and had never expected her to react that way.He always thought that she would slowly forget about him over time and come to terms that it was all over between them.Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again,he remembered why he rejected her in the first place---she was not the one he wanted.So he hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly.Since then,three years had passed and the girl never returned anymore.They never even wrote to each other.The guy went on with his life... still searching for the one but somehow deep inside him he missed the girl. On the Christmas of 1995,he went to his friend's party alone."Hey,how come all alone this year?Where are all your girl friends?What happened to that Vancouver babe who joins you every Christmas?"asked one of his friends.He felt warm and comforted by his friend's queries[4] about her,still he just surged[5] on. Then,he came upon one of his many girl friends whom he once requested to pose as his steady.He wanted so much to ignore her...not that he was impolite,but because at that moment,he just didn't feel comfortable with those girl friends anymore.It was alomst like he was being judged by them.The girl saw him and shouted across the floor for him.Unable to avoid her,he went up to acknowledge her. "Hi...how are you?Enjoying the party?" the girl asked. "Sure...yeah!" he replied. She was slightly tipsy[6]... must be from the whiskey on her hand.She continued,"why...?Don't you need someone to pose as your girlfriend this year?" Then he answered,"No,there is no need for that anymore..." Before he could continue,he was interrupted,"oh yes!Must have found a girlfriend!You haven't been searching for one for the past years,right?" The man looked up,as if he has struck gold,his face beamed and looked directly at the drunken girl.He replied,"Yes...you are right!I haven't been looking for anyone for the past years." With that,the man darted[7] across the floor and out the door,leaving the lady in much bewilderment[8].He finally realized that he had already found his dream girl,and she was...the Vancouver girl all along!The drunken lady has said something that awoken him. All along he had found his girl.That was why he did not bother to look further when he realized she was not coming back.It was not any special girl he was seeking!It was perfection that he wanted,and yes...perfection! Realizing that he had let away someone so important in his life,he decided to call her immediately.His whole mind was flooded with fear.He was afraid that she might have found someone new or no longer had the same feelings anymore...For once,he felt the fear of losing someone. As it was Christmas eve,the line was quite hard to get through,especially an overseas call.He tried again and again,never giving up.Finally,he got through...precisely at 12:00 midnight.He confessed his love for her and the girl was moved to tears.It seemed that she never got over him!Even after so long,she was still waiting for him,never giving up. He was so excited to meet her and to begin his new chapter of their lives.He decided to fly to Vancouver to join her.It was the happiest time of their lives!But their happy time was short-lived.Two days before he was supposed to fly to Vancouver,he received a call from her father.She had a head-on[9] car collision[10] with a drunk driver.She passed away after 6 hours in a coma[11]. The guy was devastated[12],as it was a complete loss.Why did fate play such cruel games with him?He curses the heaven for taking her away from him,denying even one last look at her!How cruel he cursed!How he hated himself...for taking so long to realize his mistake!!That was in 1996.[1]、rekindle V. 重新点燃[2]、tease V.取笑,欺负[3]、profess V.表示[4]、queries n.查询[5]、surge V.汹涌,澎湃[6]、tipsy adj.喝醉的[7]、dart V.飞奔[8]、bewilderment n.困惑,慌张[9]、head-on adj.正面的[10]、collision n.碰撞,冲突[11]、coma n.昏迷[12]、devastate V.毁坏你的要求好复杂哦~~这个是我在《英语广场》-《魅力英文》上找的一篇文章,字数差不多700多吧。每个字都是我辛辛苦苦打的。。~~~生词也都加了标注,只是我不知道音标怎么弄,所以没有标注。希望能帮上忙~~

Does not love a name is of little value From the time she notes, Taijiu not like this at home. Remember the first time I saw him, he had just been sent back to a place of refuge, and the beggar on the street is not much difference. Grandmother in the house loudly scolded, he squatted in a low voice to one side to cry like a wounded animal. Then the cold days, the only one who's Popolanlan unlined garment. Doorway Wai to watch a group of good neighbors, saying too much into him. Grandfather to come back soon, I see him like this, we went to the back door of the trailer to a pole, in the face to him to play. "Aoao" cried, but dare not dodge. Grandfather, father rushed into the fight in the hands of the pole, his knees and vague cried aloud, listened carefully, "my father wrong." Later, she knew that she was Taijiu, sick as a child to burn to the brain, is a fool. At that time grandfather when outside contractors, or some of the financial and. Soon, it will get the support section of Da Jiu, in any case is a purely manual, a fool is also capable off. Taijiu so often to go home, carrying the hands of the unit made things, and sometimes oil, sometimes fruit, sometimes meat. Baba and sent to the front of Grandma, it was often scolded him. She was young, that must be Taijiu grandmother's stepmother, otherwise how could he be the case. Until adulthood, she learned that family members have Shitaiyanliang. She also Taijiu to be excellent every time to go home to bring her total to forget some of the delicious: Tang Hulu, cotton candy, the Big Apple, she was pleased to start, but slowly great age, she is not very rare These gadgets, also began as the home, like everyone else, cold and cold on his brow. In a year in the past, has been the home Taijiu dispensable supernumerary members of the distressed people did not pay attention to him, all hope that he is far away, to avoid trouble themselves. Haoleng the winter of that year. Years ago, the grandfather passed away. Just returned from a funeral parlor, on the whole family to get together to discuss the issue of property. The quietly urn grandfather on the side of his portrait above, coldly watching a group known as the sons and daughters. Mother and father in the field, did not come back. Those looking to win the red face, she suddenly felt strange good good terrible. On the war has been carried out to the white-hot, almost to the use of force, aside from all of a sudden a number of Sixinliefei crying. A quiet room, she saw, is Taijiu kneel on the outside of the urn, howl, just like many years ago for the first time to see his knees to say "Dad I was wrong". Suddenly, her eyes on the heat. Parents many years away, a man she does not stay in the warmth of the people, do not feel lonely, but she has learned to alienation and indifference to their own package. This moment, she suddenly realized that this home, a lonely even more than his lack of care. He is also one of her relatives. Soon, the parents come back. Sallow face mother, a grandfather to see the portrait on faint. In the hospital, she heard a doctor and father of the conversation, know that the mother had an incurable disease. The number of books at home to down Huahua out, but my mother's getting weak. Every day with her mother in the side yard Nachuang large family, only to pay a courtesy call to one. Only Taijiu, often come after work, sat silent next to accompany them. Family property dispute is still going on. And here they are waiting for the money for help. Father every day to ask around in the hope that they can reach an agreement quickly, or to branch out part of the money to treat her mother. But the answer is ambiguous, so no one can say that this master. They like the ball up, my father would push to go. In the end, an agreement was reached. Da Jiu is a fool, and her much-needed money, inevitably, they have been at least part of a quasi-count because they will not Zainao. It is located in a suburb of the dilapidated house. On that day, she heard the father and discuss Taijiu, said that he wanted to sell the house into money, one half. The family used the money has been clean, and there likely hospitals a bottomless pit. Taijiushasha smile, vaguely promised: "Good!" In her room softly sighed with relief. The house finally sold. Taijiu father in front of the face, the amount of money into two, wrapped in newspaper, which will be handed a packet of the Da Jiu, and then another package Chuaizhe hastily took her to hospital in time. Lou Daokou just out, I heard footsteps behind to recover, there is ambiguity in the name of the voice told her. She was astonished, and a cold heart, the hospital has been under an ultimatum: pay should not stop the mother of the medicines. She turned to see his father, also face such leakage. Taijiu staggering along and they went to the front of their Buyoufenshuo to the packet of money into the arms of her father, her mouth uncertain terms: "first, the first rule, medical treatment." Father Daizhu all of a sudden, so many Days, are facing a cold, Zhang's face, ever thought that the most critical time, to lend a helping hand, this was a fool. Dad took the money, choking, is preparing to say what they Taijiu turn stagger back to the left. She saw all the year round Taijiu manual labor, has already build some of rickets. Mother eventually left. That is a memory of the darkest times. In the world suffer most people love to leave the pain, uncle, aunt's face in front of non-stop shaking. They mystery to talk about again and again in her ear, promising her mother to the property, because it is outside the estate left behind. She looked far from the busy father of the emaciated figure and suddenly the white hair and hates the heart and the sorrow and grief, like soaring. She did not know what it is like, what kind of a long heart, in particular, is hateful: They are her relatives. Da Jiu has been with her father and her in the back, look at what they do, and he helped do, from time to time turned to look at the portrait of her mother, Ma Zhe tears. Her heart in grief with any warmth: a mother, after all foolish brother from her mother's love is the heart. After the funeral, in the face of the reality before. Dad has to go back to work, her school here, has a third, transferring too much influence in the past. However, the original house to a four-uncle, already can not tolerate her. One after another lost his wife and daughter's grandmother, and finally unloaded her smart and tough, day in silent sit on the balcony in the sun, ignoring an early age with a great granddaughter of helplessness. She's a colder heart. On that day, her father suddenly said: "want to live in a burst of Dajiu you. On a few months." Daileyixia her, I was thinking about Taijiu, Chouchou face, even give birth to a little warm, then his head Agreed. Da Jiu is the work of a coolie, but the unit is, after all, institutions, he is older workers, but also a two-bedroom houses, some of the old old, quite spacious. Live here the first night, I was thinking about the death of her mother, the distant father, and uncle silly the next room, she feel perplexed about a desolate, Kai Zhaodeng cried for a whole night. But the day or too. She would get up early in the morning every day, to the mouth of the alley Mai Zaodian, lunch and dinner to eat at school and, after Wan Zixi back to sleep. She also got used to this way of life, feel good, anyway, there a few months. The only let her live in fear of that night come back to it through a long tunnel. Wan Zixi the day she was, as usual at the entrance to the school to buy a bottle of yogurt, the owner hesitate for a moment, as if to tell her to see a total figure with her, let her be more careful. She was scared on the Mongolian, from the place I do not know how to do that, in the city, no one to depend on her. After a long time, she had teeth to bite Taijiu quickly went home. Roadway around the corner, saw a vague figure. Kuangtiao her heart, tried to move back and forth, but accidentally fell to the ground. She fears to the extreme, some people feel perplexed about their running back grabbed her arm, she Sijin struggle, scream, all of a sudden, it seems to have heard a familiar voice calling to her inarticulate name. She Daizhu, quiet, even before it is goes Taijiu Chouchou face, was still above her nails scratched the blood. She stood up to Zheng Zheng, Taijiu stammered: "Lane, the alley and I, I, to pick you up." She suddenly realized that these days with their own behind that figure is Taijiu, it is not surprising Every time she saw him not to go home. "Why are you waiting for me outside the school door?" She asked. "Man, people, people." Yi Zhen her heart, the mind recall many years ago, the scene: She's primary, Taijiu to pick her up, she was too ugly, he made her lose face in front of their classmates, so far run The. All of a sudden, the tears poured out of orbit. In such a humble family members are regarded as inside the body, the full load is a strong surge of love. At that moment, she realized, Taijiu has been a neglected corner, quietly love each side of the family, no matter how they treat him. He fools his ugly, but this is not his fault, but the fate of the unfair, he lost the right to be loved, yet so persistent love everyone around us. This is how the sincere and generous heart ah! Walking in the roadway, or Taijiu bent away at the back, did not see the tears over her face. She silently read the minds of: Da Jiu, you know, in this world, which does not love the name is humble
