　　學(xué)校 The College

　　How can I ever forget the beautiful campus in Africa?

　　那兒處處是碧綠的芳草，綠草中鋪著潔白的、筆直的石路。路兩旁種的那些樹分明是一品紅，然而原該為大紅色的排列為環(huán)狀的葉，卻變?yōu)槿崦牡姆奂t，還有著淡綠色的邊兒。我常在這條長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的石徑上散步。走著走著，來(lái)到一座寬闊的臺(tái)子上，站在這里可以看到迷人的晚霞與夕照，偶然也能看到冒著濃煙嗚嗚南去的列車。件轉(zhuǎn)身往回走，不遠(yuǎn)便會(huì)來(lái)到實(shí)驗(yàn)室和圖書館。這兒寬大的落地窗軟簾垂地。窗外的木棉樹上開著耀眼的紅花。再往前走便是餐廳了，那兒有一株美麗的樹，開著雪一樣白的花兒。那花兒開得輕柔而又炯娜，一朵朵地連成一片，從遠(yuǎn)處看去，美得像新嫁娘雪白的頭紗。后來(lái)我才知道這就是我在書上讀到那么多次的曼陀羅。

　　The grounds were covered with dark green grass through which stretched a straight whitestone path .On both sides of the path were planted what I believed to be poinsettias. Now theflowers were surrounded by pinkish leaves instead of bright red ones as they should have been.Trimmed with light green edges，the leaves looked delicate and charming. Along the long pathI often took a stroll which would take me to a wide terrace，where 1 could watch theenchanting glow of sunset，and occasionally catch the sight of a train pulling and hooting onits way southward. On my way back I would pass by the laboratory and library building whoselarge French windows had soft curtains let fall to the floor. Just outside the windows kapokflowers glowed red in full bloom. A short way off stood the dining hall，where I found a treehearing snore-white blossoms so graceful and soft to the touch，Viewed together from thedistance, they were as beautiful as a bridal veil. Later I learned that it was a tree called daturawhich I had so often read about in hooks.

　　學(xué)校的中心地帶是個(gè)扇形的噴水泉，中間很藝術(shù)地?cái)[著些中國(guó)式的太湖石。這是新建的。

　　In the centre of the campus was a newly-built fan-shaped fountain. A number of Chinese taihurocks were arranged in it with a touch of artistry. And there was a story behind it.

　　在我們中國(guó)教師住的'院子里，有一個(gè)跟這模式一樣的噴水泉，不過(guò)比這要小得多，像個(gè)盆景似的，那是早來(lái)這兒的老師利用業(yè)余時(shí)間建的。他們?cè)诔刂蟹帕诵┧�草和金魚，可能是為了抒發(fā)對(duì)祖國(guó)的懷念之情吧，還在太湖石上用秀麗的隸書字體刻了“二泉映月”四個(gè)紅字，似乎這么一來(lái)，西湖便在他們的懷抱之中了，故鄉(xiāng)的月便也在向著這些游子微笑了。

　　In the courtyard of the house where Chinese teachers were living，there was also a similar butmuch smaller fountain looking like potted landscape. It was built by the Chinese teachers whohad come earlier in their spare time. They had graced it with water plants and goldfish .Perhapsout of a yearning for their homeland，they had even engraved on a taihu rock four Chinesecharacters:“Er Quan Ying Yue’meaning“two springs reflecting the moonlight.”These characterswere painted red and written in an ancient calligraphic style. The homesick Chinese teachersseemed to feel that at the sight of these characters，they could by a flight of the imaginationbring to their presence a native moon smiling beaming over the West Lake.

　　一天，學(xué)校的校長(zhǎng)來(lái)到中國(guó)教師的住所。他對(duì)這個(gè)噴水池贊不絕口，定要中國(guó)教師為學(xué)校也設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)跟這一樣的噴水池，建在校園的中央。于是在校園里，在綠茸茸的芳草和艷麗的花朵之間又加上了一個(gè)中國(guó)色彩的噴水池，在陽(yáng)光的輝照下，噴射著亮晶晶的水珠兒。

　　One day the president of the college carne to visit the Chinese teachers. Delighted by thebeauty of their fountain he asked them to design another one for the college. Thus in thecentre of the campus, in a field of green grass and colourful flowers appeared a new Chinesefountain spurting out water drops glistening in the sunlight.

　　Excellence is not an act, but a habit

　　Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny,” the maxim goes.

　　人的品德基本上是由習(xí)慣組成的。 俗語(yǔ)說(shuō)；思想決定行動(dòng)，行動(dòng)決定習(xí)慣，習(xí)慣決定品德，品德決定命運(yùn)。

　　Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

　　習(xí)慣對(duì)我們的生活有絕大的影響，因?yàn)樗鼈兪且回灥摹?在不知不覺(jué)中， 經(jīng)年累月影響著我們的品德，暴露出我們的本性，左右著我們的成敗。

　　As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it every day and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But is also know it isn’t a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.

　　美國(guó)著名教育家曼恩曾說(shuō)：“習(xí)慣就仿佛是一條纜繩，我們每天為他纏上一股新索，不要多久就會(huì)變得牢不可破�！边@句話的后半段我不敢茍同，我相信習(xí)慣可以養(yǎng)成，也可以打破，但絕不是一蹴而就，而是需要長(zhǎng)期的努力和無(wú)比的毅力。

　　Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.

　　宇航員搭乘阿波羅11號(hào)太空船，首次登陸月球的剎那，的確令人嘆為觀止。但宇航員得先擺脫地球強(qiáng)大的引力，才能飛往月球。由此在剛發(fā)射的幾分鐘，也就是整個(gè)任務(wù)一開始的幾英里之內(nèi)，是最艱難的時(shí)刻，所耗的.力量往往超越往后的幾十萬(wàn)英里。

　　Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.

　　習(xí)慣也是一樣，它具有極大的引力，只是許多人不加注意或不肯承認(rèn)了。想要革除因循茍且，缺乏耐心，吹毛求疵或自私自利等不良習(xí)性，若是缺乏意志力，不能大刀闊斧的改革，便難以實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)�！捌痫w”需要極大的努力，然而一旦脫離重力的牽絆，我們便可享受前所未有的自由。

　　果園里，蘋果紅彤彤的，就像小弟弟的臉。叔叔阿姨們正踮著腳跟摘蘋果。咚!一個(gè)熟透的蘋果從樹上掉了下來(lái)。柿子樹上，一個(gè)個(gè)柿子掛在樹上，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)望去像一個(gè)個(gè)紅燈籠!葡萄架上的葡萄一竄竄、一簇簇，像一顆顆紫色的珠子，紫得發(fā)黑，讓人真想咬它一口。

　　In xxxxan 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. In the midst of utter devastation and chaos, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.

　　xxxx年，一次8.2級(jí)的地震幾乎鏟平美國(guó)，在短短不到4分鐘的時(shí)間里，奪去了3萬(wàn)多人的生命!在徹底的破壞與混亂之中，有位父親將他的妻子在家里安頓好后，跑到他兒子就讀的學(xué)校，而觸目所見(jiàn)，卻是被夷為平地的校園。

　　After the unforgettably initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: No matter what, Ill always be there for you! And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.

　　看到這令人傷心的一幕，他想起了曾經(jīng)對(duì)兒子所作的承諾：不論發(fā)生什么事，我都會(huì)在你身邊。至此，父親熱淚滿眶。目睹曾經(jīng)的學(xué)校成為了一堆瓦礫，真叫人絕望。但父親的腦中仍然牢記著他對(duì)兒子的諾言。

　　He began to direct his attention towards where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his sons classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the ruins.

　　他開始努力回憶每天早上送兒子上學(xué)的必經(jīng)之路，終于記起兒子的教室應(yīng)該就在那幢建筑物后面，位于右邊的角落里，他跑到那兒，開始在碎石礫中挖掘，搜尋兒子的下落。

　　As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, clutching their hearts, saying: My son! My daughter! Other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: Its too late! Theyre all dead! You cant help! Go home! Come on, face reality, theres nothing you can do!

　　當(dāng)這位父親正在挖掘時(shí)，其他束手無(wú)策的學(xué)生家長(zhǎng)趕到現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，揪心地叫著：我的兒子呀!我的女兒呀!一些好意的家長(zhǎng)試圖把這位父親勸離現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，告訴他一切都太遲了!他們?nèi)�死�?這樣做沒(méi)用的，回去吧，這樣做只會(huì)使事情更糟。

　　To each parent he responded with one line: Are you going to help me now And then he con tinued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the schools ruins saying, Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. Youre in danger. Well take care of it. Go home. To which this loving, caring American father asked, Are you going to help me now

　　面對(duì)種種勸告，這位父親的回答只有一句話：你們?cè)敢鈳臀覇崛缓罄^續(xù)進(jìn)行挖掘工作，在廢墟中尋找他的兒子。消防隊(duì)長(zhǎng)出現(xiàn)了，他也試圖把這位父親勸走，對(duì)他說(shuō)：火災(zāi)頻現(xiàn)，四處都在發(fā)生爆炸，你在這里太危險(xiǎn)了，這邊的事我們會(huì)處理，你回家吧!對(duì)此，這位慈愛(ài)、關(guān)切的父親仍然回答：你們要幫我嗎

　　The police came and said, Youre angry, anxious and its over. Youre endangering others. Go home. Well handle it! To which he replied, Are you go ing to help me now No one helped.

　　警察趕到現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，對(duì)他說(shuō)：你現(xiàn)在又氣又急，該結(jié)束了，你在危及他人，回家吧!我們會(huì)處理一切的。這位父親依舊回答：你們?cè)敢鈳臀覇崛欢�，人們無(wú)動(dòng)于衷。

　　Courageously he went on alone because he needed to know for himself: Is my boy alive or is he dead He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his sons voice. He screamed his sons name, ARMAND! He heard back, Dad!! Its me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, youd save me and when you saved me, theyd be saved. You promised, No matter what happens, Ill always be there for you! You did it, Dad! Whats going on in there How is it the father asked.

　　他挖掘了8小時(shí)，--12小時(shí)，24小時(shí)，36小時(shí)--38小時(shí)后，父親推開了一塊巨大的石頭，聽(tīng)到了兒子的聲音。父親尖叫著：阿曼德!兒子的回音聽(tīng)到了：爸爸嗎是我，爸爸，我告訴其他的小朋友不要著急。我告訴他們?nèi)绻�你活著，你�?huì)來(lái)救我的。如果我獲救了，他們也就獲救了。你答應(yīng)過(guò)我，不論發(fā)生什么，我永遠(yuǎn)都會(huì)在你的身邊，你做到了，爸爸!你那里的情況怎樣父親問(wèn)。

　　There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. Were scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful youre here. When the building collapsed, it made a triangle, and it saved us.

　　我們有33個(gè)，只有14個(gè)活著。爸爸，我們好害怕，又渴又餓，謝天謝地，你在這兒。教室倒塌時(shí)，剛好形成一個(gè)三角形的洞，救了我們。

　　Come out, boy!

　　快出來(lái)吧!兒子!

　　No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, cause I know youll get me! No matter what happens, I know youll always be there for me!

　　熱愛(ài)生命

　　That day he decreased the distance between him and the ship by three miles;the next day by two-for he was crawling now as Bill had crawled;and the end of the day found the ship still seven mailes away and him unable to make even a mile a day. Still the indian summer held on, and he continued to crawl and faint ,turn and turn about; and ever the sick wolf coughed and wheezed at his heels. His knees had become raw meat like his feet, and though he paddled them with the shirt from his back it was a red track he left behind him on the moss and stones. Once , glancing back, he saw the wolf licking hungrily his bleeding trail, and he saw sharply what his own end might be-unless-unless he could get the wolf. Then began as grim a tragedy of existence as was ever played-a sick man that crawled, a sick wolf that limped, two creatures dragging their dying carcasses across the desolation and hunting each others lives.

　　這一天，他和那條船之間的距離又縮短了三英里，到了第二天，他又繼續(xù)縮短了兩英里-因?yàn)樗�現(xiàn)在就和比爾先生先前一樣在地上匍匐前進(jìn)，到了第五天晚上的時(shí)候，他發(fā)現(xiàn)那條船依然離他還有七英里的距離，而他每天的進(jìn)程還不到一英里。幸好深秋的天氣依然晴朗，他繼續(xù)爬，一次又一次地暈死過(guò)去，可是醒來(lái)他又繼續(xù)地往前爬，不停地回頭張望著;而那頭病狼也在不停地咳嗽著，發(fā)出艱難的喘息聲，可依然緊緊尾隨其后。他的膝蓋-就和他的雙腳一樣-早給磨得血肉模糊，其實(shí)他一早就脫下了身上的襯衣裹住了膝蓋，可都沒(méi)有用，他一路爬下來(lái)，他身后的苔蘚和巖石上也就留下了一道觸目驚心的血漬。有一次他回頭的.時(shí)候，他看見(jiàn)那頭餓狼正貪婪地舔著他的血漬，一時(shí)間他清楚地意識(shí)到自己的結(jié)局-除非-除非他把那頭狼解決掉。就這樣，一幕從來(lái)沒(méi)有上演的求生悲劇開始了-病人在前面爬，瘸腿的病狼尾隨其后，兩個(gè)生靈就這樣在荒漠里拖著垂死的軀殼，隨時(shí)準(zhǔn)備獵取對(duì)方的生命。

　　Had it been a well wolf, it would not have mattered so much to the man;but the thought of going to feed the maw of that loathsome and all but dead thing was repugnant to him. He was finicky. His mind had begun to wander again, and to be perplexed by hallucinations, while his lucid intervals grew rarer and shorter.

　　如果這是頭健康的狼，他也覺(jué)得沒(méi)什么;可是一想到自己要葬身狼腹，尤其是眼前這頭令人作惡、病怏怏的餓狼，他就覺(jué)得非常厭惡。要知道他可是一個(gè)非常講究的人。他又開始胡思亂想起來(lái)，人也因幻覺(jué)影響而變得迷糊。他神智清醒的時(shí)間越來(lái)越少，越來(lái)越短。

　　He was awaken once from a faint by a wheeze close in his ear.The wolf leaped lamely back, losing its footing and falling in its weakness. It was ludicrous, but he was not amused. Nor was he even afraid. He was too far gone for that. But his mind was for the moment clear, and he lay and considered.

　　有一次他從昏迷中被耳邊傳來(lái)的喘息聲驚醒;那只狼很快一跛一跛地跳開，由于身體虛弱，那頭狼還失足摔了一跤，那樣子可笑極了，可是他卻笑不出來(lái)。倒不是因?yàn)樗�害怕，事情到了這田地他早就不害怕了。不過(guò)，在這瞬間他的腦子很清醒，他躺在地上仔細(xì)地思考起來(lái)。

　　The ship was more than four miles away. He could see it quite distinctly when he rubbed the mists out of his eyes. But he could never crawl those four miles. He knew that, and was very calm in the knowledge. He knew that he could not crawl half a mile. And yet he wanted to live. It was unreasonable that he should die after all he had undergone. Fate asked too much of him. And , dying, he declined to die. It was stark madness, perhaps, but in the very grip of Death he defied Death and refused to die.

　　那艘船就在離他還不到四英里的地方。他使勁揉了揉眼睛，那艘船清晰的出現(xiàn)在他眼前。可是，他再也爬不完這四英里的路程了，這點(diǎn)他很清楚，因?yàn)榫退闶前胗⒗锏穆烦趟�也爬不了�？赏瑫r(shí)他也非常鎮(zhèn)靜，因?yàn)樗�想活下去。他已�?jīng)經(jīng)歷了千辛萬(wàn)苦，他不想就這樣死掉。命運(yùn)對(duì)他實(shí)在太苛刻了，可他就是不愿俯身受死。這是一種近乎瘋狂的想法，可就算他無(wú)法逃脫死神的魔掌，他仍然要抗?fàn)幭氯ィ�要讓自己活下去�?/p>

　　He closed his eyes and composed himself with infinite precaution. He steeled himself to keep above the suffocating languor that lapped like a rising tide through all the wells of his being. It was very like a sea, this deadly languor, that rose and rose and drowned his consciousness bit by bit. Sometimes he was all but submerged, swimming through oblivion with a faltering stroke;and again, by some strange alchemy of soul, he would find another shred of will and strike out more strongly.

　　他閉上眼睛，設(shè)法使自己平靜下來(lái)，不敢有絲毫的松懈。令人窒息的疲倦像漲潮一樣，從他的身體各處涌來(lái)，他還是頑強(qiáng)地打醒精神，不讓自己被疲倦淹沒(méi)。這種要命的疲倦，就像大海一樣，一浪又一浪地漲過(guò)來(lái)，一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)地吞噬著他的意識(shí)。有時(shí)候，他被完全淹沒(méi)其中，就這樣默默地漂游;而有時(shí)候，憑借一種奇異的心靈作用，他又找回了些許精神力量，更加堅(jiān)毅地前進(jìn)。

　　Teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder, but never to put a price on his heart and soul.

　　教他可以最高價(jià)付出自己的精力和智慧，但絕不可出賣良心和靈魂。

　　Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob...and to stand and fight if he thinks hes right.

　　教他置xx的喧囂于度外并在自覺(jué)正確之時(shí)挺身而戰(zhàn)。

　　Teach him gently, World, but dont coddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.

　　溫柔地教導(dǎo)他吧，世界，但是不要放縱他，因?yàn)橹挥辛一鸬目简?yàn)才能煉出真鋼。

　　This is a big order, World, but see what you can do.

　　這一要求甚高，世界，但是請(qǐng)盡你所能。

　　Hes such a nice little fellow.

　　他是一個(gè)如此可愛(ài)的小家伙。

　　"The Games of the 29th Olympiad in 20xx are awarded to the city of Beijing." The International Olympic Committee selected the Chinese capital as the 20xx host in Friday's vote during Juan Antonio Samaranch's last IOC session as president.The attraction of staging the Games in a country which has the world's largest population, as well as huge economic potential, won the IOC's heart. Beijing defeated four other bidding cities, including Toronto and Paris, to secure the country's first-ever Olympics. Osaka was the first city to go out, and it only took one more round for Beijing to win the Olympic race. The announcement, read out by the 81-year-old Samaranch, was answered with wild jubilation from the Chinese delegation in Moscow, and with fireworks in Beijing.IOC senior member Kim Un-Yong said after the voting that Beijing deserved the Olympic Games. "Beijing is capable of staging a great Olympic Games," said the 71-year-old South Korean. "The result wasn't a surprise to me." With the motto "New Beijing, Great Olympics", Beijing promises to host a "Green Olympics", a "Hi-tech Olympics" and the "People's Olympics". The 3,000-year-old city is becoming a truly international city and showing a new, vigorous image through its ongoing economic reforms. Beijing enjoys the widest popular support among the five bidding cities. A Gallup opinion poll commissioned by the government showed 94.9 percent of the public in favor of it. The IOC's own surveys found support even higher. The Chinese government has pledged to spend 20 billion U.S. dollars building sports complexes and refurbishing the Beijing infrastructure. There are plans for a new exhibition center with twin skyscrapers that could be taller than any in the world.

　　Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much. 美國(guó)總統(tǒng)羅斯福的家曾經(jīng)失竊，財(cái)物損失嚴(yán)重。朋友聞此消息，就寫信來(lái)安慰他，勸他不必把這件事放在心上。

　　President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,”Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from 3 me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief…”

It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. smile and so will it when you cry to it. ” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight. 感恩是一項(xiàng)重要的處世哲學(xué)，是生活的.大智慧。人生在世，不可能事事順通。對(duì)于各種失敗和不幸，我們要豁達(dá)大度，勇敢地面對(duì)，并想辦法解決。

　　We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become frustrated and

　　disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, rise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it , it will also 面對(duì)困難，我們是懊惱抱怨、沮喪氣餒，陷入絕望，還是對(duì)生活滿懷感恩之心，跌倒后再爬起來(lái)呢?英國(guó)著名作家威廉;薩克雷說(shuō)過(guò)，“生活是一面鏡子，你對(duì)它笑，它也會(huì)對(duì)你笑;你對(duì)他哭，它也會(huì)對(duì)你哭�！�

　　I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find 5 our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope. 我想，不論是遭遇失敗還是不幸，我們都應(yīng)該感謝生活。只有這樣，失敗后，我們才能發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的缺點(diǎn)和不足，不幸時(shí)，我們還能感受到安慰和溫暖。這些就能幫我們找回勇氣，戰(zhàn)勝困難，并獲取前進(jìn)的強(qiáng)大推動(dòng)力。我們應(yīng)像羅斯福總統(tǒng)那樣，換一個(gè)角度去看待生活中的失敗和挫折，永遠(yuǎn)對(duì)生活充滿感恩，才能時(shí)刻保持健康的心態(tài)，積極地生活，并能保持完美的人格和不斷進(jìn)取的精神。感恩不僅僅是一種精神慰藉，也不是對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的規(guī)避，更不是阿Q的精神勝利法。感恩源于我們對(duì)生活的熱愛(ài)和希望，它是我們歌頌生活的一種方式。

　　When we put a small piece of alum into muddy water, we can see the alum can soon make the water clear. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll be able to get rid of impulse, upset, dissatisfaction and misfortune. Being 6 grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.

　　Why do leaves change color in the fall? asks Patricia Brown, of New York City.

　　Autumn's cool days are trimmed with deep blue skies and golden light, and brilliant leaves of yellow, orange and red. Leaves changing color in the fall are a tree's way of preparing for long winter, rather like we put up storm windows and pull warm clothes and blankets out of storage.

　　In summer, the leaves on trees like pin oaks and sugar maples are green because they are chock-full of the green pigment chlorophyll.

　　Trees need sunlight to produce chlorophyll. In turn, chlorophyll uses sunlight's energy to split water （H2O） into hydrogen and oxygen. Meanwhile, leaves also absorb carbon dioxide gas from the air. The end products of leaf chemistry: carbohydrates （homemade plant food for the tree）， and oxygen, released into the air （the gas we need to breathe）。 The whole process is called photosynthesis.

　　Along with green chlorophyll, most leaves also contain yellow, orange and red-orange pigments celled carotenoids. Trees don't need light to make carotenoids. Botanists call them "helper pigments," because carotenoids absorb some sunlight and （nicely） pass the energy along to chlorophyll. We don't see much of these deputy pigments （carotene, lycopene, and xanthophyll） in summer, because they are masked by abundant green chlorophyll.

　　But the ever-shortening days of fall mean less daylight and colder weather. The average tree is rushing to save all the nutrients it can for its winter hibernation. Nitrogen and phosphorus are pulled from leaves for storage in branches. A layer of corky cells grows between the leaves' stems and their branches, reducing the leaves' supply of nutrients and water.

　　With diminished sunlight, water, and nutrients, chlorophyll synthesis slows. Old, worn-out chlorophyll breaks down at the usual rate--ironically, sunlight destroys it--so each leaf's stock gradually dwindles. And as the green fades, yellow and orange emerge from hiding.

　　Unlike the green and yellow pigments, red and purple pigments （anthocyanins, part of the flavonoid class） actually form in leaves in the autumn, tinting leaves scarlet and burgundy.

　　Botanists have long wondered why some trees are genetically programmed to manufacture anthocyanins in the fall. New research indicates that anthocyanins may be a tree's own sunscreen.

　　Anthocyanins are made in a leaf's sugary sap, with the help of lots of sun and cool temperatures. Botanists think that anthocyanins shield the leaves' fading photosynthesis factories from too much sunlight, rather like the pigment melanin protects our skin from the sun. While the red pigments act as a shield, the tree feverishly breaks down and pulls nutrients out of leaves and into its limbs and trunk before leaves drop or die.

　　Anthocyanins may also act like Vitamin C or E, scavenging so-called "free radicals" before they can do oxidizing damage to a fall leaf's fragile structure.

　　Upper and outer leaves tend to be reddest, since they are most exposed to sunlight and cold. In some trees, like sugar maples, the reds of the anthocyanins combined with the yellows of the carotenoids make especially brilliant orange leaves.

　　Venice is a fascinating city between sea and sky. It is built on 117 islands. There aren't any cars or buses because there are no highways in Venice. But it has 150 canals and 400 bridges. The narrow streets, with theirhistoric names, are paved with flagstones, but have no footpaths. They are lined with flower-decked balconies, Madonnas, shop signs and lanterns. Artisans' stalls and palaces stand side by side. The squares are charming. The brick bridges, with white stone trimmings, are pitched high to allow barges to pass under them. Every year thousands of touristsfromthe five continents visit this beautiful city.

　　They are always amazed at the charm of her water and pellucid light, which can make them freefromall dust and cooled by the sea breezes. But because the level of the surrounding waters is constantly rising, the exceptional position of Venice constitutes a threat to its very existence. And the Venetians love their city and want to stay there to save Venicefromthe sea. Now carious measures have already been taken and a plan to safeguard and remedy the position is under investigation.

　　野草 Wild Grass

　　有這樣一個(gè)故事。

　　There is a story which goes like this:

　　有人問(wèn)：世界上什么東西的氣力最大?回答紛紜的很，有的說(shuō)“象”，有的說(shuō)“獅”，有人開玩笑似的說(shuō)：是“金剛”。金剛有多少氣力，當(dāng)然大家全不知道。

　　Someone asked, "What is the most powerful thing in the world?" There was a variety of answers. "Elephant," someone said. "Lion," another said. "Buddha's guardian warrior," still another said half-jokingly. As to how powerful the Buddha's guardian warrior was, no one was sure.

　　結(jié)果，這一切答案完全不對(duì)，世界上氣力最大的，是植物的種子。一粒種子所可以顯現(xiàn)出來(lái)的力，簡(jiǎn)直是超越一切，這兒又是一個(gè)故事。

　　In fact none of the answers was correct. The most powerful thing in the world is the seed of plants. The force displayed by a seed is simply incomparable. Here goes another story:

　　人的頭蓋骨，結(jié)合得非常致密與堅(jiān)固，生理學(xué)家和解剖學(xué)者用盡了一切的方法，要把它完整地分出來(lái)，都沒(méi)有這種力氣，后來(lái)忽然有人發(fā)明了一個(gè)方法，就是把一些植物的種子放在要剖析的頭蓋骨里，給它以溫度與濕度，使它發(fā)芽，一發(fā)芽，這些種子便以可怕的力量，將一切機(jī)械力所不能分開的骨骼，完整地分開了，植物種子力量之大，如此如此。

　　The bones of a human skull are so tightly and firmly joined that no physiologist and anatomist had succeeded in taking them apart whatever means they tried. Then someone invented a method. He put sonic seeds of a plant in the skull to be dissected and provided the necessary temperature and moisture to make them germinate. Once the seeds germinated, they manifested a terrible force with which he succeeded in opening up the human skull that had failed to be opened even by mechanical means.

　　這，也許特殊了一點(diǎn)，常人不容易理解，那么，你看見(jiàn)筍的'成長(zhǎng)嗎?你看見(jiàn)過(guò)被壓在瓦礫和石塊下面的一顆小草的生成嗎?他為著向往陽(yáng)光，為著達(dá)成它的生之意志，不管上面的石塊如何重，石塊與石塊之間如何狹，它必定要曲曲折折地，但是頑強(qiáng)不屈地透到地面上來(lái)，它的根往土壤鉆，它的芽往地面挺，這是一種不可抗的力，阻止它的石塊，結(jié)果也被它掀翻，一粒種子的力量的大，如此如此。

　　You may think this is too unusual a story to be grasped by the common mind. Well, have you ever seen how the bamboo shoots grow? Have you ever seen how frail young grass grow out from under debris and rubble? In order to get the sunshine and bring its will to grow into play, no matter how heavy the rocks are and how narrow the space between the rocks, it will wind its way up irresistibly, its roots drilling downward and its sprouts shooting upward. This is an irresistible force. Any rock lying in its way will be overturned. This again shows how powerful a seed can be.

　　沒(méi)有一個(gè)人將小草叫做“大力士，但是它的力量之大，的確是世界無(wú)比。這種力，是一般人看不見(jiàn)的生命力，只要生命存在，這種力就要顯現(xiàn)，上面的石塊，絲毫不足以阻擋，因?yàn)樗�是一種“長(zhǎng)期坑戰(zhàn)的力，有彈性，能屈能伸的力，有韌性，不達(dá)目的不止的力。

　　Though the little grass has never been said to be herculean, the power it shows is matchless in the world. It is an invisible force of life. So long as there is life, the force will show itself. The rock above it is not heavy enough to prevent it from growing because it is a force that keeps growing over a period of time, because it is an elastic force that can shrink and expand, because it is a tenacious force that will not stop growing until it is grown.

　　種子不落在肥土而落在瓦礫中，有生命力的種子決不會(huì)悲觀和嘆氣，因?yàn)橛辛俗枇Σ庞心�煉。生命開始的一瞬間就帶了斗爭(zhēng)來(lái)的草，才是堅(jiān)韌的草，也只有這種草，才可以傲然地對(duì)那些玻璃棚中養(yǎng)育著的盆花哄笑。

　　The seed does not choose to fall on fertile land but among debris. If it is filled with life, it is never pessimistic or sad, for it is tempered by resistance and pressure. The grass that fights its way out since the moment it is hom can be called "strong' and “temacious"; only the grass that fights its way up since its birth has the right to laugh with justified pride at the potted plants in glassed green houses.

　　My Cat Sitting Adventure

　　Why and how I got myself into this situation is still unclear to me. A lady friend, a quite good looking lady friend, (okay, okay, so I do know why and how I got myself into this situation) asked me to check her two cats while she was out of town for several days. I said, "Sure." I thought to myself, "How difficult could it be to check on her cats?" Before she left she told me that one of her cats was on medication for dry skin. Yes, dry skin. I thought to myself, "Give me a break!" However I kept my mouth shut because she is a good friend and as I said before, quite a good looking friend. Her one cat was required to take two pills a day and also needed to have Neosporin put on a sore on his skin. "No problem", I foolishly replied.

　　First of all, I do not, never did, and probably never will understand women and their fascination with cats. Cats like their independence, they never listen to you and they won"t come to you if you call them. They are lazy, enjoy sleeping all day and staying out all night. If they drank beer and watched sports on television then they would be just like most of the men that these women have dated in their lives. Yet they LOVE their cats. Many single women I know have cats. They never seem to have just one cat, they usually have at least two cats. Why? So the cats will have company when the woman is away. I never did understand why a cat, an animal that is very independent, would need or even want company when its owner is away. I would think that most cats are probably happy when their owner is away. They finally have got the entire place to themselves. However many women I know insist on having a second cat to keep the first cat company. All of these women are single. I also know of one woman who owns seven cats. She is also single. I believe it is because she owns seven cats.

　　Day One Of My Cat-Sitting Adventure

　　I arrived at my lady friend"s house at 11a.m. and found a note instructing me what to do. "Check food". The food is A-OK. "Check Water". Well, the water dish was a little low so I"ll add some water. However the note instructed me to "ONLY GIVE THEM BOTTLED WATER WHICH IS IN THE REFRIGERATOR"! I thought to myself, "Bottled water? The cats only drink bottled water?" When I visit my lady friend and ask for water, she gives me tap water. I may have to re-evaluate my friendship with this lady friend. I filled the cats" water dish with the aforementioned bottled water. I read the rest of the instructions she had left for me. The note went on saying, "poopy bags are in the flowered green fabric holder hanging off the metal rack beside the litter box." Yes, you read me right, she wrote, "poopy bags." I REALLY have to re-evaluate my friendship with this woman.

　　Now it is time to give Lucas, the male cat, his medicine. I was instructed to hide the pill inside some veggie cheese. Yes, the cat likes veggie cheese, made from soy. Apparently Lucas is a bottled water drinking, vegetarian cat. I did as instructed and put the pill inside the veggie cheese. The cat not only ate all of the veggie cheese, he also somehow managed to eat around the pill. All of the veggie cheese was gone yet the pill remained. I now must think of a "Plan B."

　　I decided to hide the pill in a piece of turkey. What the heck? I could not have any worse luck, could I? Lucas ate the turkey and once again managed to eat around the pill. One thing was certain. Lucas is not a vegetarian. I next attempted to hide the pill in some tuna. Albacore, actually. Again, Lucas ate all of the tuna and left the pill. Another thing was certain. Lucas likes to eat.

　　I then remembered my lady friend saying that I could hide the pill inside a cat snack treat. Aha! The old hiding the pill in a cat snack treat routine. I proceeded to find the cat treats. There were "Grilled Yellowfin Tuna Flavored Treats" and "Shrimp and Crab Medley Flavored Treats" and "Oven Roasted Breast of Chicken Flavored Treats" and "Hearty Beef Flavored Treats" and "Salmon Flavored Treats." These cats eat better than most people. I decided to first try the "Whiskas Temptations Salmon Flavored Treats." Why? Because on the package it read, "What Cats Want". That was good enough for me. Unfortunately it was not what this cat wanted. I put the pill in each of the treats and Lucas would not go near any of the them. One more thing was certain. Lucas was full. I now must wait until he gets hungry again. I had not thought that this would be an all day event.

　　While waiting for Lucas to get hungry again I thought I would make an attempt to put the Neosporin on his sore. This went better than expected. I accomplished this task in a mere 45 minutes and I successfully managed not to bleed on any of my friend"s furniture as I ran to the bathroom to cleanse my multiple scratch wounds. Although Lucas may not hold a high regard for Neosporin, I have a new found appreciation for it.

　　Afterwards I noticed Lucas licking the Neosporin off of his sore. My first thought was, "Well, that was a complete waste of time and blood!" Then I got an idea. I"ll put some Neosporin on his pill. He seems to like the taste of Neosporin. And you know what? IT DID NOT WORK EITHER! So much for shouting with glee and becoming rich off of my idea for a "Neosporin Flavored Cat Treat".

　　I looked at my watch. It was almost 2 o"clock. This unsuccessful ordeal had taken almost 3 hours! And I am supposed to do this twice a day for the next four days. Yet one more thing was certain. I must come up with a "PLAN C".

　　Knowing that I had made a valid attempt made it easier to implement "Plan C". Because of "Plan C", day two, three, and four of my cat-sitting adventure went smoothly. My lady friend arrived home late on day four, none the wiser, thanking me again and again for looking after her beloved cats. What was "Plan C"? Well, "Plan C" was a simple plan. I figured that since Lucas was required to take 2 pills a day for 4 days then that would equate to 8 pills. (Thank God for calculators!) I took 8 pills out of the bottle and threw them in the garbage. I used the Neosporin on my own wounds thus making it look like I used it on Lucas. I did not bother going over to her house to check on the cats at ALL on day 2 or 3. I went over just on day 4 to change the water and litter box in order to make it appear like I did everything she wanted me to do. You may be asking yourselves, "Doesn"t he feel any sense of guilt for his deceitful ways?" The answer is, "No!". Well, maybe someday I will, after my wounds heal and the scars fade away. I did not want to implement "Plan C" but I had no other choice. I could not afford to waste several hours of my valuable time along with losing a pint of blood each day. Not when there are "Friends" rerurns to watch on television. Besides, that will teach her to give me tap water!

　　第一天做貓保姆的經(jīng)歷

　　我在上午11點(diǎn)時(shí)到了我的那位女性朋友家，看到了她留給我的一張紙條，上面寫著我該怎么做�！皺z查食物�！笔澄餂](méi)有問(wèn)題;“檢查水”，嗯，水少了點(diǎn)，我得加點(diǎn)水。但是紙條上叫我只能給“放在冰箱里的罐裝水”。我想：“罐裝水?貓只喝罐裝水?” 我到她家向她要水喝時(shí)，她只給我自來(lái)水喝�？磥�(lái)我得重新考慮一下我與這位朋友的關(guān)系。我用上面提到的水加満了貓的水碟。我看了看她給我說(shuō)明的'其他注意事項(xiàng)。上面寫著：“貓糞袋放在有花飾的綠色布袋里，綠色布袋掛在垃圾箱旁的鐵鉤子上�！笔堑�，你也看清楚了，她寫的是“貓糞袋”，我真得再衡量一下我與她的友誼了!

　　現(xiàn)在到了給那只叫盧卡斯的公貓吃藥的時(shí)候了。她提醒我將藥片藏在素食干酪里面。是的，貓喜歡吃由大豆做的素食干酪�？磥�(lái)盧卡斯是只只喝罐裝水、只吃素食干酪的貓。我照章辦事，將藥片混在素食干酪里面。那貓很快吃光了所有的干酪，它還很有技巧地繞著藥片吃。結(jié)果所有的干酪都吃光了，藥片卻還在。看來(lái)我必須想出另一個(gè)B計(jì)劃出來(lái)。

　　我決定將藥片藏在火雞肉里面。也不知道是怎么回事，我就是那么倒霉!盧卡斯還是繞著藥片吃完了所有的火雞肉。這只說(shuō)明了一件事——盧卡斯根本不是個(gè)素食主義者。接著我又將藥片藏在金槍魚里，其實(shí)是青花魚。盧卡斯再次吃光了所有的魚而留下了藥片。這說(shuō)明了另一件事——盧卡斯很貪吃。

　　這時(shí)我想起我的朋友曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)可以將藥片藏在貓的零食里面，哈哈!又是捉迷藏的老一套!我于是去翻找那些貓零食，果然是五花八門，有烤黃鰭金槍魚點(diǎn)心、小蝦蟹肉味點(diǎn)心、爐烤雞胸味點(diǎn)心、牛肉味點(diǎn)心和鮭魚味點(diǎn)心。這些貓比大多數(shù)的人吃得還好。我決定先試試“好吃放不下”的鮭魚味點(diǎn)心。為什么?因?yàn)榘�裝上寫著“貓真正喜歡的”。那對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)這就夠了。但不幸的是它并不是這里的貓真正喜歡的。我把藥片放在每一個(gè)點(diǎn)心里，但盧卡斯卻碰也沒(méi)碰它們一下。這又說(shuō)明了一件事——盧卡斯已經(jīng)吃飽了!我現(xiàn)在只能等到它想再吃東西的時(shí)候再說(shuō)了。我根本沒(méi)想到照看貓要花掉我整整一天的時(shí)間。

　　在等著盧卡斯感到饑餓以前，我想我可以試著給它涂些抗生素軟膏。這比我想象的容易多啦!我只用了不到45分鐘就完成了，盧卡斯也沒(méi)忘記在我身上留下多處的抓痕，我為此不得不急匆匆地沖向衛(wèi)生間沖洗傷口，并不讓傷口的鮮血掉在我朋友的家具上。盡管盧卡斯不怎么愛(ài)用抗生素軟膏，我卻覺(jué)得它很管用。

　　不久我就發(fā)現(xiàn)盧卡斯把涂在它身上的抗生素軟膏一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)地舔了下來(lái)。我的第一反應(yīng)就是：“啊?我的時(shí)間和鮮血算是全白費(fèi)了!” 突然我想到了一個(gè)新主意，那就是把一些抗生素軟膏涂在藥片上，看起來(lái)它有點(diǎn)喜歡抗生素軟膏的味道。結(jié)果怎么樣呢?還是沒(méi)戲! 枉我一片苦心才想出這個(gè)“抗生素軟膏味貓點(diǎn)心”，開始時(shí)我還開心得大喊大叫，我真是受夠了!

　　我看了看表，已近下午2點(diǎn)。這個(gè)失敗的試驗(yàn)居然耗掉我3個(gè)小時(shí)!而這些事情在接下來(lái)的4天里我卻要每天重復(fù)兩次�？磥�(lái)我必須制訂出一個(gè)“C計(jì)劃”出來(lái)不可了!

　　有了第一次的實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)實(shí)施“C計(jì)劃”就容易多了。由于“C計(jì)劃”的緣故，我第二、第三和第四天照看貓的工作進(jìn)行得非常順利。我朋友在第四天很晚時(shí)才回來(lái)，不用說(shuō)，一遍又一遍地感謝我對(duì)她的心愛(ài)的貓的照顧。我的“C計(jì)劃”到底是怎么回事呢?唔，“C計(jì)劃”其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單。盧卡斯每天吃兩片藥，連吃四天那一共是8片。(感謝上帝!計(jì)算器幫了我很大的忙!)我從瓶子里拿出了8片藥片并把它們?nèi)舆M(jìn)了垃圾箱里，我還把抗生素軟膏涂在自己被抓傷的手上，這樣看起來(lái)就好象用在了盧卡斯身上一樣。第二天和第三天我根本就沒(méi)去她家看她的那些貓，我只是第四天去查了查水和那小碟子，這樣看起來(lái)就好象我每天都按她的吩咐做了的樣子。你可能會(huì)問(wèn)：“他難道不為自己的欺騙行為感到愧疚嗎?”答案是：“不!”嗯，或許某天我會(huì)覺(jué)得愧疚，那要等到我的傷痊愈及疤痕消除后。我本不想執(zhí)行所謂的“C計(jì)劃”，但實(shí)在沒(méi)有辦法。我不能每天浪費(fèi)好幾個(gè)小時(shí)的寶貴時(shí)間，并且每天流下那么些血。起碼在電視還在播放《六人行》的時(shí)候是不行的。另外，這也算是她讓我喝自來(lái)水的報(bào)應(yīng)!

　　Since the pre-historic times，man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger，shelter or search for a mate，he has always manipulated the circumstances to the best of his advantages. Probably this might be the reason why we human are the most developed of all living species on the earth，and probably also in the universe. As we climbed the steps of evolution with giant leaps，we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking—we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of times.

　　If you are hungry，what do you do?Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?Just like your stomach，even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know，because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover，favorite star and many such absurd things. So it silently began to heed to your needs and never let itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow，creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think“What happens next?”，“Why can‘t I think?”，“Why am I always given the difficult problems?”Well this is the aftermath of our own karma of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.

　　Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading. Now why reading and not watching TV?Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life，we have to take help of reading. You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your“How to?”questions. Once you read a book，you just don‘t run your eyes through the lines，but even your mind decodes it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed if used many times，can help you link and relate a lot of things，of which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!This is nothing but creativity. More the number of books you read，your mind will open up like never before. Also this improves your oratory skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. Within no time you start speaking English or any language fluently with your friends or other people and you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.

　　Actually，I had a problem in speaking English fluently，but as I read，I could improve significantly. I am still on the path of improvement to quench my thirst for satisfaction. So guys do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading，reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for?Go，grab a book，and let me know!

　　篇二：Weakness or Strength (將弱項(xiàng)變?yōu)閺?qiáng)項(xiàng))

　　Sometimes our biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take，for example，the story t of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that the had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

　　The boy began lesson with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was dong well，so he couldn‘t understand why，after three months of training，the master had taught him only one move.

　　“Mister，”the boy finally said，“shouldn‘t I be learning more moves?”

　　“This is the only move you know，but this is the only move you‘ll ever need to know，”the master replied.

　　Not quite understanding，but believing in his teacher，the boy kept training.

　　Several months later，the master took the boy to his first tournament.

　　To his surprise，，the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult，but after some time，his opponent became impatient and charged;the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success，the boy was now in the finals.

　　This time，his opponent was bigger，stronger，and more experienced. For a while，the boy appeared to be overmatched.

　　Concerned that the boy might get hurt，the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the master intervened.“No，”his master insisted，“l(fā)et him continue.”

　　Soon after the match resumed，his opponent made a critical mistake：he dropped his guard. Instantly，the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

　　On the way home，the boy and his master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really in his min.

　　“Mister，how did I win the tournament with only one move?”

　　“You won for two reasons，”the master answered.“First，you‘ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second，the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

　　The boy‘s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

　　Olympic Games

　　Every four years, the best athletes from countries around the world come together

　　in the spirit of peace and friendship to compete in the Olympic Games.

　　With the lighting of the Olympic flame the games begin — the Olympic spirit kept alive.

　　That flame has been brought many thousands of miles by relay runners all the way from Olympia,

　　in Western Greece, where the ceremony began 2700 years ago.

　　This simple ceremony, and the lighting of the torch,

　　is the spark that renews the Olympic flame wherever the games are played.

　　The games symbolized the early Greeks’ ideal of man’s unity,

　　their vision of peace, and of human perfection.

　　The Olympic began as a religious ceremony.

　　The First Games in recorded history took place in the year 776 BC.

　　This was the time of the Western Zhou period in China.

　　All the Greek city-states participated.

　　States at war with each other would end hostilities for the duration of the Games.

　　The Olympic motto is universally accepted as “Swifter, Higher, Stronger.”

　　One athlete from the games host country takes an oath at the Opening Ceremony

　　on behalf of all the competing athletes:

　　"In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic games,

　　respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them,

　　in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.”

　　In ancient times,

　　winners were crowned with wreaths of the sacred olive.

　　Their names were proclaimed throughout the Greek city-states.

　　Things have not changed much in this regard.

　　Today, first place winners are awarded gold medals,

　　second place winners, silver, and third place gets the bronze.

　　And, as in ancient times, Olympic stars become internationally famous.

　　Let us hope that this living experience of peace and friendship between all the peoples of the world

　　that began in Olympia, in ancient Greece, will continue for many centuries to come.

　　The silence of men in general is overtalked about and overcriticized. To be sure, men never open up as much as women want them to, but there is a wordless understanding in which we function fairly well especially in friendships.

　　I believe, in fact, that most women would prefer a man to be gloomily uncommunicative than to spill his guts at the drop of a hat.

　　The push for men to express their feelings presumes that we have feelings, and we do have a few, but they remain submerged, and the airing of them often violates their authenticity.

　　I am no biologist, but my guess is that the male human animal was programmed for silence. I would go so far as to argue that men were programmed to be isolated from one another and that aloneness is our natural state. Silence in male friendships is our way of being alone with each other.

　　Once men have established a friendship that itself is the word. The affection is obvious, at least to us. A main component of our silence is an appreciation of the affection.

　　男人的沉默往往被過(guò)多地談?wù)撉疫^(guò)分指責(zé)了�？梢钥隙ǖ氖�，男人從未像女人所希望的那樣開誠(chéng)布公地說(shuō)出自己的心里話，但無(wú)言的理解，在男人當(dāng)中卻很管用，尤其在維持友誼的時(shí)候。

　　我相信事實(shí)上大多數(shù)女人都寧愿男人郁郁寡歡不言不語(yǔ)，而不喜歡男人就像竹筒倒豆子，什么都說(shuō)。

　　都說(shuō)男人應(yīng)該把情感表達(dá)出來(lái)，這說(shuō)明我們并非沒(méi)有感情的動(dòng)物。不錯(cuò)，我們確實(shí)有一些，但隱而不露，若要表達(dá)出來(lái)就變味兒了。

　　我不是生物學(xué)家，但我猜想男人這種動(dòng)物天生就是沉默寡言的'。我甚至認(rèn)為男人天生就是彼此孤立的，孤獨(dú)是我們的自然狀態(tài)。即使成了朋友，也是無(wú)聲的友誼，這使得我們能彼此獨(dú)立地活著。

　　一旦男人間建立起友誼，友誼本身就已說(shuō)明了一切。至少對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)，情感是明顯的。我們的沉默，主要就是來(lái)自于對(duì)這份情感的欣賞。
