The Rainy Day 雨天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，风也刮个不停；藤还攀附着颓垣残壁，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。When times become difficult (and you know they sometimes will), remember a moment in your life that was filled with joy and happiness.

He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox.“I’m looking for a few days’ work,” he said. “Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with?”“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That’s my neighbor; in fact, it’s my younger brother’s. Last week there was a meadow between us, but he took his bulldozer to the river levee, and now there is a creek between us. See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence—an 8-foot fence—so I won’t need to see his face any more.”The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”The elder brother had to go to town on business, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready, and then he was off. About sunset when John returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. John’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all.It was a bridge—a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming across, his hand outstretched.“You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.” The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hand, then embracing each other.They turned to see the carpenter raise his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I’ve a lot of other projects for you,” said John. “I’d love to stay on.” The carpenter said, “but I have many more bridges to build.”桥从前有兄弟二人，生活在相领的农场中，他们之间发生了冲突。一天早上，有人敲约翰的门。他打开门，发现外边站着一位背着木工箱的人。“我想找几天活干，”他说。“你这里是否有些零活需要我做？”“是的，”作为兄长的约翰说。“我的确有件活让你做。你看小溪那边的农场。那是我的邻居，其实就是我弟弟的农场。上周我们之间还有一片牧场，但他用推土机把河堤推掉了，如今横在我们面前的是一条小溪。看到畜舍旁边的那堆木材了吗？我想让你为我修建一道篱笆——一道8英尺高的篱笆——这样我就用不着看他的脸色了。”木匠说，“我明白了。我的活保证让您满意。”哥哥有事必须去镇上，因此他帮木匠备好料后就走了。大约在太阳落山的时候约翰回来了，木匠也刚刚干完活。约翰的眼睛睁得大大的。那根本没有篱笆。有一座桥——一座横跨小溪的桥！这是一座非常完美的桥，栏杆和所有的一切都很精美，那位邻居，也就是他弟弟，正走过来，并向前伸出手。“在我说了过头的话和做了过头的事之后，你这样做太令我感动了。”兄弟二人分别站在桥的两端，然后他们在桥中间相遇了，握住对方的手，然后拥抱在一起。他们转过身，看到木匠把他的木工箱扛到了肩膀上。“不，等一下！请再呆几天。我还有很多其它活儿需要你做，”约翰说。“我很想呆下去，”木匠说，“但还有更多的桥等着我去修建呢。”让“宽恕的风”把仇恨抹去两个朋友结伴穿越沙漠，旅途中二人突然吵了起来，其中一个掴了对方一记耳光。被打的人感到自己受了伤害，但什么也没有说，只是在沙地上写下了这样一句话：“今天我最好的朋友掴了我耳光。他们继续前行，看见到处绿洲，他们正打算在那里洗澡时，刚才被打的人不小心陷入了泥潭，开始深陷，他的朋友救了他.等他从几近淹死的边缘苏醒过来后，他在石头上刻下：“今天我最好的朋友救了我的命。”他的朋友问：“为什么我伤你之后，你在沙子上写字，现在却把字刻在石头上？” 他回答道：“当有人伤害了我们，我们应该把它写进沙里，宽恕的风会把仇恨抹去。而当有人为我们做了好事，我们应当把它刻在石头上，没有风可以将它抹去。”The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped felt hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me in the face." They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "Today my best friend saved my life." The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?" The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."A young man sees a sunset and, unable to understand or to express the emotion that it rouses in him, concludes that it must be the gateway to a world that lies beyond. It is difficult for any of us in moments of intense aesthetic experience to resist the suggestion that we are catching a glimpse of a light that shines down to us from a different realm of existence, different and, because the experience is intensely moving, in some way higher. And, though the gleams blind and dazzle, yet they do convey a hint of beuty and serenity greater than we have known or imagined. Greater too than we can describe, for language, which was invented to convey the meanings of this world, cannot readily be fitted to the uses of another. 年轻人看到日落，由于无法理解或表达心中激起的那种强烈感情，便断定日落处一定是通往遥远世界的大门。我们任何人在强烈感受到美的时刻都不禁联想到：我们似乎瞥见从一个不同世界射向我们的一线光芒，不仅不同，而且因为这种美具有强烈的感染力，所以在某种程度上更高级。还有，尽管这光芒使人眼花缭乱，但它确实传送了一种我们未曾经历的和无法想像的美和静谧的启示。这种美和静谧是我们所不能描述的，因为人们创造语言的目的是表达我们的世界的各种意义，无法轻易地运用于另一个世界。 That all great art has this power of suggesting a world beyond is undeniable. In some moods, nature shares it. There is no sky in June so blue that it does not point forward to a bluer, no sunset beautiful so that it does not waken the vision of a greater beauty, a vision which passes before it is fully glimpsed, and in passing leaves an indefinable longing and regret. But, if this world is not merely a bad joke, life a vulgar flare amid the cool radiance of the stars, and existence an empty laugh braying across the mysteries, if these intimations of a something behind and beyond are not evil humor born of indigestion, or whimsies sent by the devil to mock and madden us, if, in a word, beauty means something, yet we must not seek to interpret the meaning. If we glimpse the unutterable, it is unwise to try to utter it, nor should we seek to invest with significance that which we cannot grasp. Beauty is in the terms of human meanings is meaningless. 不可否认，一切伟大的艺术都具有使人超尘脱俗的浮想的力量。在某种状态下，大自然就具有这种魅力。六月的天空不是蓝得不能再蓝，日落不是美得不能再唤起一个更美的景象，一个未被饱览就消失的、而且在消失的时候留给人们一种莫名的渴望和遗憾的景象。但是，如果这个世界不只是一场恶作剧的话，如果生命不只是惨淡的星光里的平凡的一闪的话，如果存在不只是神秘的宗教发出的一阵空虚的笑声的话，如果对某种玄妙的事物的暗示不是由于消化不良而引起的不好情绪，或者不是一种魔鬼送来嘲笑我们并使我们发狂的怪念头的话，一句话，如果美有某种意义的话，我们千万不要设法去阐明它的意义。如果我们瞥见难以言传的东西，企图用语言把它表达出来是不明智的。我们也不应该设法给我们所不理解的事物赋予意义。从人生各种意义来看，美是难以言传的。Don't Give Up If we should ever accomplish anything in life, let us not forget that we must persevere. 不要忘记，在人生的道路上，要想做成什么事，我们必须持之以恒。 If we would learn our lessons in school, we must be diligent and not give up whenever we come to anything difficult. 如果我们在学校里想要学好功课，就必须得勤奋，任何时候遇到难题都不要放弃。 We shall find many of our lessons very hard, but let us consider that the harder they are the better they will do to us if we will persevere and learn them thoroughly. 我们会发现，许多功课非常难，但是我们得记住，那些功课越难，将来对我们的益处就越大--只要我们能持之以恒，完全弄懂。 But there are some among us who are ready to give up when they come to a hard example in mathematics, and say, "I can't do this." 不过，我们当中有一些人，一遇到数学难题就轻易放弃，说："这道题我做不出来。" They never will if they feel so. 如果他们这么认为，那他们永远也做不出来。 I can't never did anything worth while; but I'll try accomplish wonders. 说"我不能"的人永远干不成任何有价值的事，而说"我会努力"的人则可以创造奇迹。 Let us remember that we shall meet with difficulties all through life. 让我们记住，在我们一生中，总要遇到各种难题。 They are in the pathway of everyone. 这些难题就横亘在每一个人的人生道路上。 If we will only try and keep trying, we shall be sure to conquer and overcome every difficulty we meet with. 只要我们努力，再努力，就一定会征服所遇到的每一个困难。 If we have a hard lesson today, let us strive to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow. 假如我们今天功课上遇到一个难题，那就让我们竭力解决它，然后我们就可以做好准备应付明天更大的难题。 And if we learn to master hard lessons in school, it will prepare us to overcome the hard things that we shall meet in life, when our school days are over. 假如我们在学校里就学会驾驭功课上的难题，将来离开学校后，我们就可以准备好克服我们在人生道路上遇到的各种难题。 不够的话，还可以看看新概念第四册，上面的文章都很美的。

生命的美好

尽管有很多事让人忧虑，但相比而言，值得感激的事要多得多。尽管生命的美好有时被蒙上阴影，但它却永远不会被埋没。

相对于每一个无谓的破坏行为而言，都有更多数以千计更为微小的，包含着爱，友善和同情的举动静静地上演着。相对于每一个试图伤害他人的人而言，都有更多的人致力于帮助他人，治愈他人的创伤。

生命的美好不能否认。

在最为壮观的前景和最为琐碎的细节中，请仔细观察，因为美好的事物总是散发着耀眼的光芒闪亮登场。

生命的美好没有界限。每一次相遇都会使这美好变得越发丰富。你经历得越多，越能欣赏生命的美好，生命中的美好就会变得越多。

即使当寒风袭来，整个世界似乎被雾气掩盖之时，生命的美好仍会存在。睁开双眼，打开心扉，你就会发现这美好无处不在。

尽管生命的美好有时似乎遭受挫折，但它总会挺过来。因为，在最黑暗的时刻，有一点变得格外清楚，那就是，生命是无价的财富。因此，下正是与生命的美好相对立的事物使其越发强大。

无数次地，当你担心这美好已经远离之时，你会发现生命的美好其实只与你相隔须臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每个时刻之间，等着给你惊喜。

花些时间让生命的美好感动自己的灵魂，放松自己的思绪。然后，把你的幸运与他人分享。因为生命的美好会在每次给予之间变得越来越壮观。

尽管总是有问题让你去关注，冲突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命的美好却总是静静地，平和地，带着比以往更强的意志和更多的价值变得更加强大。

My community and state are still recovering from the catastrophe that struck recently. A wall of storms with hurricane force winds struck late on a Friday evening knocking down trees, blocking roads, damaging homes, and destroying power lines.

最近的一次灾难给我们的州、我们的社区带来了很大的影响。暴风雨夹杂着飓风在周五的晚上登陆，树木被刮倒，道路被封锁，家园被摧毁，电路被中断。

Hundreds of thousands of people suddenly found themselves in the dark without water, electricity, air conditioning, telephones, internet, and television. They found themselves cut off from the modern world enduring sweltering 90 degree plus heat with no help and no idea when it would be over.

数以万计的人生活在黑暗缺水的环境中，因为电路的中断，无法使用空调、电话，也不能上网、看电视。受灾群众发现自己彻底和外界断了联系，忍受着华氏90度(32摄氏度)以上的高温，束手无策，而且不知道生活何时能恢复正常。

The most amazing thing happened, however, as the reality of the crisis sank in: it brought out the best in us. While there were a few acts of selfishness and stealing they were overwhelmed by the wave of love and compassion that came from the hearts of so many.

但是不可思议的事情发生了，尽管危机降临，但是它让我们激发了我们最好的本质。尽管也偶尔有自私和偷盗的行为，我们绝大多数人都沐浴在爱和热情之中。

People shared their food, ice, and gasoline. People who still had power opened their homes to those who had none. People rushed out to clear roads and homes of fallen trees. Selfless power crews worked around the clock to repair the damage and restore electricity.

我们互相之间分享食物、冰块、汽油。家里还有电的人会向那些家里断电的人敞开家门。人们自发的跑到街上清理道路和家中倒下的树木。无私的电力维修工争分夺秒修理电路，恢复供电。

People gathered on front porches to talk, share hugs and offer words of hope and faith that God would see them through it all. Strangers came together as one family to help each other in this time of great need.

人们在前门廊交谈鼓劲、相互拥抱，说着神明如果看到他们的遭遇会给他们带来希望和信仰。

It was such a joy seeing all these people acting like true Children of God under the most trying of circumstances.

面对如此困境，这些人就像上帝之子散播的善良，不禁让人心生欣慰。

Life's disasters strike all of us from time to time. No one is spared.

生活中的灾难总会时不时给我们打击。无人能幸免。

We all get hurt. We all get challenged.

我们都会受伤，我们都会遇到挑战。

We all get squeezed by difficulties during our days here.

我们都会被生活的磨难压榨。

How we respond to them, though, is up to us.

不过，我们怎么样应对则它取决于我们自己。

We can let them bring out the worst is us or we can let them bring out the best in us. We can react to them like demons of selfishness or like angels of love.

他们可以让我们展现最丑陋的一面，也可以让我们展现最善良的一面，我们可以变成魔鬼般的自私也可以变成天使般的仁爱。

May you always bring the best from your heart and soul to whatever life may throw at you then. May you live all of your days here with so much love that Heaven sings and God smiles.

愿不管生活如何待你，你都能还以发自内心的善良。愿你此生浸润在爱中，就像天堂的笙歌和上帝的微笑。

I have the bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book to see how it ends while I am still in the middle of it. This habit annoyed first my Mom, then my friends, and finally even my own daughter.

我有一个换习惯就是看书看到一半，就翻到最后看结局。我的母亲、我的朋友以及连我的女儿都很不喜欢我这样。

Often my impatience wouldn't be confined just to the books I read but also to what they were reading as well. Finally one day my daughter told me in exasperation, "Dad please just read a book one page at a time like everyone else!"

我是个急性子，不光我自己读书这样，我还管着别人读书。最后我的女儿爆发了，“爸爸，你能不能像人家读书一样，每次就读一页!”

At times I haven't limited this bad habit to just books either. I have also tried to skip ahead in my own life and figure out what to do months and even years from now instead of embracing each day as God intended.

我的急性子不止在读书这个方面。在生活中我也时不时的会这样。想要知道未来几个月甚至几年要做什么，而不是像上帝推崇的那样享受当下。

I knew that the book of my life wasn't done yet and that I had many pages left to go. Still, that didn't stop me from trying to write the ending half-way through.

我知道自己人生的这本书没有结束，还有很多页没有读。然而，我还会臆想结局。

Time and again, I would foolishly jump ahead and try to solve every conceivable problem before it happened so I could reach that storybook happily ever after ending.

有时我总是愚蠢地想象着书中的结局，杞人忧天般的考虑着还没发生的问题，我总是能很高兴的自动带入书中情节，不管书中结局怎样。

Life, however, doesn't work like that. God loves to surprise us, and you never know what new problem, change, or opportunity each new day will bring.

然而生活不是这样。上帝喜欢给我们惊喜。每一天你都不会知道自己会遇上什么问题，改变或者机会。

Recently when I found myself returning to that bad habit of rushing ahead and living in the future again, I found His truth coming from the lips of a special soul who gently told me I needed to "live one day at a time."

最近我发现这个心浮气躁、活在未来的坏习惯又开始作祟。这时我隐隐的感觉到有个神秘的灵魂对我悄声说着“活在当下”。

When I heard those words I smiled, turned the book of my life back to the right page, and thanked God for today.

当我听到这些话，我会心地笑了。感谢上帝让我领悟到如何将人生之书翻到正确的页码。

There is no skipping ahead in the book of life. Each of us has to live it one page and one day at a time. Each of us has to have faith in God to help us to write it line by line and moment by moment. Each of us has to trust that our Heavenly Father will bring our story to its perfect end.

人生不可能像看书跳过开头就到看到结尾一样。人生一天一天度过，书也要一页一页读。我们要深信上帝会帮我们书写人生，一行又一行，记录我们的一刻又一刻。最终我们会在上帝的引导之下将人生画上完美的句号。
