Modern Technologies

We’re all enjoying the conveniences and happiness brought by modern technologies. We use telephones and mobile phones to call, emails to write and vehicles to drive; we go to another country by air planes; we see what is happening in the world by TV programs and Internet, and we even watch sports games on live. Nowadays, without these technologies, I can’t imagine what my life could be.

I used to read an article describing the modern lives of human beings. It says we will have many phone numbers if we want to search for one person; we send emails and cell phone messages to our friends in stead of visiting them. More and more people would rather sit in front of a computer than a TV. And we seldom go to libraries to check information now, because the Internet would do all the jobs.

We use digital cameras, scanners, photocopiers, blue teeth technology and digital signals for our cell phones… It seems as if we were living in a real digital world. Actually I guess we are, though. Since we are so developed and advanced, why we are less civilized?

We are easily mad with our broken computers; we fed up with things we don’t like; we call our lovers to say “farewell and good-bye” and we are afraid to face the facts which are cruel and real. We’re led to a trend that there will no more face-to-face communications. I would rather chat with my friends with OICQ and emails these years, instead of seeing them in reality.

I hide myself inside my car so that I can flee away from dirt, air pollutions, robberies, thieves, winds, rains and snows. However, I could not taste the spring rain and the winter snow either. The nature is fleeing away from me too!

Should I thank modern technologies or blame them? I wonder if you have got the right answer.

现代技术

我们都在享受现代科技带来的便利和快乐。我们用电话和手机打电话，用电子邮件写信，用车辆开车；我们乘飞机去另一个国家；我们通过电视节目和互联网看到世界上正在发生的事情，我们甚至可以现场观看体育比赛。如今，如果没有这些技术，我无法想象我的生活会是什么样子。

我曾经读过一篇描述人类现代生活的文章。它说，如果我们想搜索一个人，我们会有很多电话号码；我们给朋友发电子邮件和手机信息，而不是去拜访他们。越来越多的.人宁愿坐在电脑前，也不愿坐在电视机前。我们现在很少去图书馆查信息，因为互联网可以做所有的工作。

我们使用数码相机、扫描仪、复印机、蓝牙技术和手机数字信号……似乎我们生活在一个真实的数字世界中。事实上，我想我们是。既然我们如此发达和先进，为什么我们不那么文明？

我们很容易对坏掉的电脑生气；我们受够了我们不喜欢的东西；我们打电话给我们的爱人说“再见”，我们害怕面对残酷而真实的事实。我们正走向一种趋势，不再有面对面的交流。这些年来，我宁愿用OICQ和我的朋友聊天，也不愿在现实中看到他们。

我把自己藏在车里，这样我就可以逃离泥土、空气污染、抢劫、小偷、风、雨和雪。然而，我也尝不到春雨和冬雪的味道。大自然也在逃离我！

我应该感谢现代技术还是责怪它们？我想知道你的答案是否正确。

My Girlfriend is Cat---- By smellycatty

We knew each other on the forum of New Oriental School. That time, we both had been hurt, drifting in a lonely city for a long time, yearning to fly, and craving for true and forever love.

I studied GMAT by myself in a rented small flat, she was working hard to go abroad as a post-doctor. Studying for the test, writing her emails, and having long talks over the phone late at night became a habit as well as the happiest moments of my otherwise boring and lonely life. Before long, I found myself attached to the sweet voice and the gentleness of the girl I had never met.

One night, before I hung up the phone, a sadness and romance surged up in me. And I said to her: “I want to sing a song to you.” I used to be a big music fan in college. I listened to music as a way of dealing with the bland school life. And I also liked to yell some tunes in the corridor or on my way back to my dorm at night. Some people labeled my style “street singer” who’s from the suburb of Hong Kong.

The song I sang that night is the original Japanese version of an old song by the name of “Half Full Moon(月半弯)”. As I already said, I sang it thousands of times on the street, in corridor and Karaoke Bars. But my performance has never been that good this time. I didn’t know or wasn’t sure what kind of person she would be in my life. Maybe a friend on the Internet, maybe just an ordinary friend, or even my future girlfriend, I had absolutely no idea. She was some girl I hadn’t met, so I just treated her as a listener to my heart.

What happened later was an abrupt twist. One dark and windy night, our friendship became a love caught on fire because of my not bad singing. On an impulse, I whispered to her, “Tell you the truth, all my life, I am looking for someone, with her, we could become happy for the rest of our life.”

On the other end of the phone, she choked up and started sobbing. All of a sudden, I realized that both she and I wished to bring the other happiness.

From my past experience and instinct, I thought that I should do something immediately. So a few days later, driven by curiosity and passion, I decided to visit her. My surprise visit indeed shocked her. It seemed to me that she still wanted to keep on our relationship by telephone and Internet. Later she told me that this gave her lots of romance and fun for imagination.

Urged by my pleading and threatening, she showed up, a small girl with embarrassment and excitement all over her face. I was more than one head tall than her. Walking beside her, I turned my head and couldn’t see her. Her hairs were blown up by wind, brushing against my face and making me very itchy. I was trying very hard to figure out some topics, suddenly my hand was in her hand.

This could be the greatest embarrassment of my whole life. Never before had my hand been hold by a girl first. In a second, I felt like that I became a girl walking on the street with hand hold. We walked and walked. A long time passed, we tried to loose each other up by talking about some funny things. She was much easy-going than I thought she would be. But I was much shyer than I used to believe.

我的女朋友是猫----闻起来很臭

我们是在新东方论坛上认识的。那一次，我们都受到了伤害，在孤独的城市里漂泊了很长一段时间，渴望飞翔，渴望真爱和永恒。

我在租来的小公寓里自学GMAT，她正在努力工作，准备出国当博士后。为考试学习、写电子邮件、深夜通过电话长谈已经成为一种习惯，也是我无聊孤独生活中最快乐的时刻。不久，我发现自己爱上了这个素未谋面的女孩甜美的声音和温柔。

一天晚上，在我挂断电话之前，一种悲伤和浪漫涌上了我的心头。我对她说：“我想给你唱一首歌。”我在大学里曾经是一个超级乐迷。我听音乐是为了应付平淡的学校生活。我也喜欢在走廊里或晚上回宿舍的路上喊一些曲子。一些人把我的风格称为“街头歌手”，他来自香港郊区。

那天晚上我唱的歌是一首名为《半个满月》的老歌的日文原版(月半弯)”. 正如我已经说过的，我在街上、走廊和卡拉OK酒吧唱了成千上万遍。但我这次的表现从来没有这么好过。我不知道或者不确定她在我的生活中会是一个什么样的人。也许是网上的一个朋友，也许只是一个普通的朋友，甚至是我未来的女朋友，我完全不知道。她是一个我从未见过的女孩，所以我只是把她当作我内心的倾听者。

后来发生的'事情是一个突然的转折。在一个风雨交加的夜晚，我们的友谊变成了爱情，因为我唱得不错。一时冲动，我悄悄对她说：“说实话，我这一辈子都在找一个人，有了她，我们可以幸福一辈子。”

在电话的另一端，她哽咽了，开始抽泣。突然间，我意识到她和我都希望给对方带来幸福。

根据我过去的经验和直觉，我认为我应该立即做点什么。所以几天后，在好奇心和激情的驱使下，我决定去看望她。我的突然造访确实使她感到震惊。在我看来，她仍然想通过电话和网络保持我们的关系。后来她告诉我，这给了她很多浪漫和想象力的乐趣。

在我恳求和威胁的催促下，她出现了，一个小女孩，脸上满是尴尬和兴奋。我比她高一个头。走在她身边时，我转头看不见她。她的头发被风吹起来，擦在我脸上，让我很痒。我正努力想弄清楚一些话题，突然我的手握在了她的手里。

这可能是我一生中最大的尴尬。以前从来没有一个女孩先握住过我的手。一瞬间，我感觉自己变成了一个牵着手走在街上的女孩。我们走了又走。很长一段时间过去了，我们试图通过谈论一些有趣的事情来放松彼此。她比我想象的要随和得多。但我比以前相信的要害羞得多。

A red dragon in the global economy

Many Chinese believe that for China to be strong its trade account must not be in the red. It must have a trade surplus to grow prosperous. So if we look back at 5000 years of Chinese history, it would be surprising that the time China’s trade was in the red was also just when the ‘middle kingdom’ was at its peak during that dynasty.

For example, during Han Dynasty, China ran a trade deficit for centuries with neighboring countries, and it was also the time China became the center of the Asia. Another obvious example is the Tang and Song Dynasty (from 7th century to 11th century), when China was again in a trade deficit with nearly all its neighbors. China was then experiencing shortages of gold, silver or even bronze, but none of this had blocked the red dragon from being the strongest nation at that time. But at the end of Song Dynasty, just decades before the Chinese were invaded and defeated by Mongolians, China became the main exporter in Asia and it was one of the several periods when China was weak. Historians cannot simply conclude this as coincidence.

Recent history tells the same story. The end of 19th century was a nightmare for the ancient nation. Many blamed the trade deficit that resulted from opium trade as the plague which caused the weakness of China’s economy in the late Qing Dynasty. However, if we put opium trade aside, China was still a large exporter in the world while it imported little from the outside world. At some point, China’s trade partners had to use opium as a way to pay for their trade deficit with China. Earlier, in the middle of the 18th century, China could produce enough opium for domestic market and also become an exporter in normal definition, but it didn’t help China to be a stronger nation at all. When China launched its first industrialization campaign, it’s trade soon turned into red again, but this happened during the last struggle of Qing Dynasty in its dying years.

After its opening-up in 1978, China was in the red again for eleven years, with the exception of 1983. The government is implementing of a strategy of stimulating exports initially from China’s opening-up. It is a reasonable policy for a post-communism economy which is lack of an efficient fiancé system and a minimum-required foreign currency reserve.

Since 1990, China has been chalking up trade surplus with the exception of 1993. In 2004, the trade surplus of China amounts to $70 billion, of which $58.6 billion from Sino-US trade. With its expanding of trade surplus, its economic rapid growth continues for decades. At the same time, Chinese factories are famous for dumping cheap goods from advantages of its low-cost labors and poor environment standard. After all, China is developing, much faster than EU, US, Japan or any other major power of the world. There is no doubt that China is regaining its strength and will be a major economic power in the 21st century.

What will China bring to the globalization of economy? Even for a country of 1.2 billion population and 960 square kilometers, there is no unlimited supply of cheap labor or unlimited tolerance of environment pollution. However, the demand of the 1.2 billion population market in a fast-growing economy could be the powerful engine of the global economy in human history. Some of Chinese key officials and scholars has turned to pro-deficit attitude on this debate and more and more people realize that China has no responsibility to supply the world with cheap goods while the living standard of Chinese people are below average level. While those booming Chinese companies have shown their appetites for raw materials on the global market, the extravagance of Chinese wealthy family in cities has given hopes to global manufacturers.

Most of the pressure to grow imports comes from China’s trade partners, especially US and Japan. A strong wind calling for the revaluation of RMB has been blowing since the beginning of 2003, and some even criticize China as an exporter of deflation. At the same time, huge amounts of hot money flow into China despite capital controls that strictly limit money flows into this country. Chinese officials have openly refused to revaluate RMB under pressure and some even say that its a conspiracy to sacrifice China’s economy without bringing benefits to the global economy. But those strong words against the revaluation of RMB were more or less for internal politics. The government then began to boost the imports to ease the pressure on the currency.

Domestically, there are more and more criticisms against the stimulating-export policies, especially the tax reimbursement policy. The tax reimbursement to exporters has aggravated the fiscal deficit of the central government. The government has paid 125 billion RMB and 115 billion RMB for tax reimbursement. This appropriation was far from the amount incurred every year and up to the end of 2003, the tax reimbursement in arrears reached to 340 billion RMB ($41.06 billion). The profit margin rates of many exporters are below the reimbursement rate. As the default of payment accumulated year-by-year, some exporters have fallen into liquidity problem while waiting for the payment of tax reimbursement in arrears.

So China should not be afraid to become red in trade, like it has during many periods of greatness. If the dragon becomes be red for years or even decades, the most foreseeable consequence is that RMB will be an international currency. To support an international currency, China should build ‘a stable macroeconomic environment, an efficient market mechanism and a healthy banking system’ as Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao mentioned as the preconditions for a revaluation of RMB. It is easy to say what’s good but it is difficult to identify the problems and solve them. When the growth is still enough to sustain the system, who will be brave enough to cut the mess behind the rise? China should not be afraid to become red again.

全球经济中的一条红龙

许多中国人认为，中国要想强大，其贸易账户不能出现赤字，必须有贸易顺差才能繁荣。因此，如果我们回顾中国5000年的历史，令人惊讶的是，中国贸易出现赤字的时候，也正是那个王朝“中间王国”达到顶峰的时候。

例如，在汉朝时期，中国和周边国家的贸易逆差持续了几个世纪，也是中国成为亚洲中心的时候。另一个明显的例子是唐朝和宋朝（从7世纪到11世纪），当时中国再次与几乎所有邻国出现贸易逆差。当时中国正经历着黄金、白银甚至青铜的短缺，但这些都没有阻止红龙成为当时最强大的国家。但在宋末，就在中国被蒙古人入侵和击败的几十年前，中国成为了亚洲的主要出口国，这是中国衰弱的几个时期之一。历史学家不能简单地认为这是巧合。

近代史也讲述了同样的故事。19世纪末对这个古老的国家来说是一场噩梦。许多人指责鸦片贸易造成的贸易逆差是晚清中国经济疲软的瘟疫。但是，如果我们把鸦片贸易放在一边，中国仍然是世界上的一个大出口国，而它从外部世界进口的很少。在某种程度上，中国的贸易伙伴不得不使用鸦片来支付与中国的贸易逆差。早些时候，在18世纪中叶，中国可以为国内市场生产足够的鸦片，也可以成为正常意义上的出口国，但这根本无助于中国成为一个强大的国家。当中国开始第一次工业化运动时，它的贸易很快又变成了红色，但这发生在清朝末期的最后一次斗争中。

1978年中国对外开放后，除1983年外，11年来中国再次出现赤字。中国政府正在实施一项刺激出口的战略。对于缺乏有效未婚妻制度和最低外汇储备的后共产主义经济来说，这是一项合理的政策。

自1990年以来，除1993年外，中国一直保持贸易顺差。2004年，中国贸易顺差达到700亿美元，其中586亿美元来自中美贸易。随着贸易顺差的扩大，中国经济持续了几十年的快速增长。同时，中国工厂以倾销廉价商品而闻名，因为其劳动力成本低，环境标准差。毕竟，中国的发展速度远远快于欧盟、美国、日本或世界上任何其他大国。毫无疑问，中国正在恢复实力，并将成为21世纪的经济大国。

中国将为经济全球化带来什么？即使对于一个拥有12亿人口和960平方公里的国家来说，也没有无限的廉价劳动力供应或对环境污染的无限容忍。然而，在一个快速增长的'经济体中，12亿人口市场的需求可能是人类历史上全球经济的强大引擎。中国的一些主要官员和学者在这场辩论中转向了支持赤字的态度，越来越多的人意识到，在中国人民的生活水平低于平均水平的情况下，中国没有责任向世界供应廉价商品。尽管那些蓬勃发展的中国公司在全球市场上表现出了对原材料的渴望，但中国富裕家庭在城市的奢侈给全球制造商带来了希望。

增加进口的大部分压力来自中国的贸易伙伴，尤其是美国和日本。自2003年初以来，一股要求人民币升值的强风一直在吹，一些人甚至批评中国是通货紧缩的出口国。与此同时，尽管资本管制严格限制资金流入中国，但仍有大量热钱流入中国。中国官员在压力下公开拒绝人民币升值，甚至有人说，这是一个阴谋，目的是牺牲中国经济而不给全球经济带来好处。但那些反对人民币升值的强硬言论或多或少是出于内部政治。政府随后开始增加进口以缓解货币压力。

在国内，对刺激出口政策，特别是退税政策的批评越来越多。对出口商的退税加剧了中央政府的财政赤字。政府已经支付了1250亿元人民币和1150亿元人民币的税收报销。这笔拨款远远低于每年的支出，截至2003年底，拖欠的税款已达3400亿元人民币（410.6亿美元）。许多出口商的利润率低于偿还率。由于拖欠货款逐年累积，一些出口商在等待缴纳拖欠税款时陷入了流动性问题。

因此，中国不应该像在许多伟大时期那样害怕在贸易中变红。如果龙红了几年甚至几十年，最可预见的后果就是人民币将成为国际货币。为了支持国际货币，中国应该建立一个稳定的宏观经济环境，一个有效的市场机制和一个健康的银行体系，正如中国总理温家宝所提到的，这是人民币升值的先决条件。说什么好很容易，但发现问题并解决问题却很难。当增长仍然足以维持这个体系时，谁会有足够的勇气来解决增长背后的混乱？中国不应该害怕再次变红。

Make your fate in control

Fate is determined by character, and character is determined by knowledge, desire and habit. If a person wants to change his fate, he has to change his character first; and if he wants to change his character, he has to change his knowledge or his desires and habits. Complaining to other people or the environments makes no sense.

Actually, everybody in this world will know about the meaning of life. It’s just the matter of time. A worker, who had just lost his job, met a university professor one day. He admitted that he didn’t love to study when he was a student. He just hated to study no matter what and how his father asked him to. When he got a job and became a worker, he realized how important to have knowledge in this world. But, it was too late…

There are no parents who don’t think studying is important for their children, and all the parents tell their children to study hard. We, however, still have so much difference on different children, on the results, that we finally will know it’ is the matter of self-control.

When we are kids in a primary school, we see no difference from each other. We just know somebody is good at Chinese, Math or Sports. We just know that the teacher likes him or her. Nowadays, we differentiate our classmates by their parents. We say: oh, god, his father is the vice mayor, his father is very rich; his mother is the dean of the biggest hospital…. This is definitely not a good sign for China and the Chinese people, because it makes no competition for the youngsters, who are having China’s future in hand.

The poor always hate the rich, because they see the rich driving all the luxury cars, living in condominiums, villas and spending money like they are countless. And the poor see the rich always on vocations, always so relaxed and enjoyable. So the poor are jealous and they wonder how can the rich be so rich and the poor are so poor. Well, the poor obviously forget one thing: When the rich are working hard and smart to collect money, the poor are lying somewhere and making complains.

Make your fate and success in control; you can make a difference in the future, unless you want to a poor person, both mentally and physically.

掌控你的命运

命运是由性格决定的，性格是由知识、欲望和习惯决定的。如果一个人想改变他的命运，他必须首先改变他的性格；如果他想改变自己的`性格，就必须改变自己的知识、欲望和习惯。向他人或环境抱怨毫无意义。

事实上，这个世界上的每个人都会知道生命的意义。这只是时间问题。一天，一位刚失业的工人遇到了一位大学教授。他承认他在学生时代不喜欢学习。他只是讨厌学习，不管他父亲要求他做什么，怎样。当他找到工作，成为一名工人时，他意识到在这个世界上拥有知识是多么重要。但是，为时已晚…

没有父母不认为学习对孩子很重要，所有的父母都告诉孩子要努力学习。然而，在不同的孩子身上，在结果上，我们仍然有很大的差异，以至于我们最终会知道这是一个“自我控制的问题”。

当我们还是小学的孩子时，我们看不出彼此有什么不同。我们只知道有人擅长语文、数学或体育。我们只知道老师喜欢他或她。如今，我们根据同学的父母来区分他们。我们说：哦，天哪，他爸爸是副市长，他爸爸很有钱；他的母亲是最大的医院的院长…。这对中国和中国人民来说绝对不是一个好兆头，因为这对年轻人来说没有竞争意义，因为他们掌握着中国的未来。

穷人总是讨厌富人，因为他们看到富人开着所有的豪车，住在公寓、别墅里，花钱无数。穷人看到富人总是在工作，总是那么放松和愉快。所以穷人嫉妒，他们想知道富人怎么会这么有钱，穷人怎么会这么穷。穷人显然忘记了一件事：当富人努力而聪明地收钱时，穷人却在某处撒谎并抱怨。

掌控你的命运和成功；你可以在未来有所作为，除非你想成为一个贫穷的人，无论是精神上还是身体上。

Love, love, love

Please forgive me because I’m not talking about the popular song here. I really love that song, though! What I want to bring to you people here is something I’d like to discuss with.

Love is indeed a big concept. Thus it makes some people confused or feel blur. As I have mentioned before in this forum, I don’t even differ “love” from “like” sometimes. Can you?

I know nobody who doesn’t want his life filled with love. One is/has been/will be receiving love from his parents, relatives, friends, colleagues, lovers and whatsoever living creatures, including animals. Fully enjoying love from around me is what I always long for. How happy and joyful I would be if I could have love everywhere in this planet!

Love conquers everything in human’s world. The more civilized and developed a country is, the more love you will see in there. I saw many charity organizations in Singapore and Canada, and I believe there must be many in other developed countries. There is, however, so few in China. Even though there are some similar organizations in China, I’m afraid they are not doing their jobs.

The most popular case we can see in China is Leukemia. I have all along been donating money to those patients, since I was a student. I just feel that’s the only way I can use to help them.

The other case is raised by baggers, who are wandering in the streets all the time. They are everywhere in the cities. They are annoying sometimes, because they would even pull your pants to hold you back if you refuse to give them cashes. I pay more respect to those who would rather go collecting rubbishes at nights than being criminals to steal or rob, or commit whatever bad things against the local citizens. Once a 80 over years old woman was seen lying on the side of a road. I saw her too, for several times. She seldom bagged for money, she wanted foods and clothes more than cashes. Each time I passed by, I would give her 10 Yuan, not for pitying her, but do what I could to be of help. She died one year later. I was sad when I heard the news because I couldn’t imagine what kind of children she had would abandon their parents! She must be very sad and desperate when she left her home; she must be tough and strong to survive in such a big cold city alone for years; she must be thinking about something before her death; she must be…

If there is another life for this wretched poor woman after her death, I hope she would have a much better life by then. May her soul rest in peace.

爱，爱，爱

请原谅我，因为我不是在谈论这首流行歌曲。不过我真的很喜欢那首歌！我想给在座的各位带来的是我想和大家讨论的事情。

爱确实是一个很大的概念。因此，它让一些人感到困惑或感觉模糊。正如我之前在这个论坛上提到的，有时我甚至不会把“爱”和“喜欢”区别开来。你能吗？

我知道没有人不希望自己的生活充满爱。一个人正在/已经/将要接受来自父母、亲戚、朋友、同事、爱人和包括动物在内的`任何生物的爱。充分享受周围的爱是我一直渴望的。如果我能在这个星球上的任何地方都有爱，我将是多么幸福和快乐！

爱征服了人类世界的一切。一个国家越文明、越发达，你就会在那里看到更多的爱。我在新加坡和加拿大看到了很多慈善组织，我相信在其他发达国家肯定也有很多。然而，在中国却很少。尽管中国也有一些类似的组织，但恐怕他们没有做好自己的工作。

在中国，我们能看到的最常见的病例是白血病。从我还是学生的时候起，我就一直在为那些病人捐款。我只是觉得这是我唯一能帮助他们的方法。

在中国，我们能看到的最常见的病例是白血病。从我还是学生的时候起，我就一直在为那些病人捐款。我只是觉得这是我唯一能帮助他们的方法。

另一个案例是由一直在街上徘徊的装袋者提出的。他们在城市里无处不在。他们有时很烦人，因为如果你拒绝给他们现金，他们甚至会拉你的裤子来阻止你。我更尊敬那些宁愿晚上去收集垃圾，也不愿成为盗窃或抢劫的罪犯，或对当地公民犯下任何坏事的人。有一次，一位80多岁的老妇人躺在路边。我也见过她好几次。她很少花钱，比起现金，她更想要食物和衣服。每次路过，我都会给她10块钱，不是因为怜悯她，而是尽我所能帮助她。一年后她去世了。当我听到这个消息时，我很难过，因为我无法想象她有什么样的孩子会抛弃他们的父母！当她离开家的时候，她一定非常伤心和绝望；她必须坚强坚强，才能独自在这样一个寒冷的大城市里生存多年；她一定在想…

如果这个可怜的女人死后还有另一种生活，我希望她那时会过得更好。愿她的灵魂安息。

When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.

At every turn we come across its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.

Believe in your faith. Set the vision before your eyes. Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. It may take one season or more, but the result is the same. Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities. The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible. For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.

Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.

Find your treasure within and cherish it. Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.

翻译：梦想的力量

别人看你的眼睛时,他应当体会到你内心的活力。怀揣梦想就像是拥有一座你前行的灯塔。

每个转折关头,它给我们带来奇迹。每个新的起点,我们脱胎换骨,焕然一新。孤独中我们挺过失望的阴霾,发觉我们的信念不曾动摇,我们的力量依然强大。

There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I can not perfect myself without hardship.

Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment may present……to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.

Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.

译文：

逆境是一所最好的学校。每一次失败，每一次打击，每一次丧失，都蕴育着的萌芽，都教会我在下一次有更杰出的表示。我再也不会回避事实，也不会谢绝从以往的过错中获取教训，我不再因而而促成本人的失败。由于我晓得，宝玉不经磨砺就不能发光，不，我也不能完美自我。

当初我知道，灵魂倍受煎熬的时刻，也恰是中最多抉择与机遇的时刻。任何事件的成败取决于我在追求辅助时是抬开端仍是低下头。无论何时，当我被恐怖的'失败击倒，在最初的阵痛从前之后，我都要千方百计将变成好事。巨大的机会就在这一刻闪现——这苦涩的根必将迎来满园芳香！

That must be the story of innumerable couples，and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely reminds you of a placid rivulet，meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees，till at last it falls into the vasty sea;but the sea is so calm，so silent，so infifferent，that you are troubled suddently by a vague aps it is only by a kink in my nature，strong in me even in those days，that i felt in such an existence，the share of the great majority，something amiss.

I recognized its social value.I saw its ordered happiness，but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder e seemed to me something alarming in such easy my heart was desire to live more dangerously.

I was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous，shoals it I could only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen.

这一定是无数对情侣的故事，它所提供的生活模式有一种家常的优雅。它让你想起一条平静的小溪，蜿蜒穿过绿色的牧场，被宜人的'树木遮蔽，直到最后落入浩瀚的大海；但大海是如此的平静，如此的沉默，如此的冷漠，以至于你突然被一种模糊的不安所困扰。也许只是因为我的本性有一种怪癖，即使在那些日子里，我也很坚强，我才觉得在这样一个存在中，在绝大多数人中，有什么不对劲。

我认识到了它的社会价值。我看到了它有序的幸福，但我血液中的发烧要求更疯狂的过程。在我看来，在如此轻松的快乐中似乎有一些令人担忧的东西。我内心深处渴望生活得更危险。

对于锯齿状的岩石和险恶的浅滩，我并非没有准备——我只能有变化和不可预见的紧迫感。

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.

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.

As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday 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 I also know it isnt a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.

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.

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.

Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.

基本上，我们的性格是我们习惯的综合。“播下思想，收获行动；播下行动，收获习惯；播下习惯，收获性格；播下性格，收获命运，”这句格言如是说。

习惯是我们生活中的强大因素。因为它们是一致的，通常是无意识的模式，它们每天都在不断地表达我们的性格，并产生我们的有效性或无效性。

正如伟大的教育家Horace Mann曾经说过的那样，“习惯就像一根电缆。我们每天都编织一股，很快它就无法被打破。”我个人不同意他的最后一部分表达。我知道习惯可以学也可以不学。但我也知道这不是一个快速的解决办法。它涉及一个过程和巨大的承诺。

当我们看到第一批人在月球上行走并返回地球时，那些观看阿波罗11号登月的人都惊呆了。但为了到达那里，这些宇航员实际上必须摆脱地球的.巨大引力。在起飞的前几分钟，在飞行的前几英里，花费的能量比接下来几天飞行50万英里所花费的能量还要多。

习惯也有巨大的引力——比大多数人意识到或承认的要大。打破根深蒂固的习惯性倾向，如拖延、不耐烦、挑剔或自私，这些都违反了人类有效性的基本原则，这涉及到我们生活中的一点点意志力和一些小变化。“升空”需要付出巨大的努力，但一旦我们摆脱地心引力，我们的自由就会呈现出一个全新的维度。

就像任何自然力一样，引力可以对我们起作用，也可以对我们不利。我们一些习惯的引力目前可能使我们无法去我们想去的地方。但也正是引力使我们的世界团结在一起，使行星保持在轨道上，使我们的宇宙井然有序。它是一种强大的力量，如果我们有效地使用它，我们就可以利用习惯的引力来创造必要的凝聚力和秩序，从而在我们的生活中建立有效性。

英语文章阅读 12

A young friend of mine asked me in a letter, “What kind of man should I be?” My answer was, “Be a fighter.”

Another friend of mine inquired, “How should I live my life?” Again my answer was, “Be a fighter.”

The author of In Praise of the Fighter says:

Riding on the ceaseless rushing torrent of life, I should pursue and overtake it so as to create an even greater and deeper torrent of my own.

If I were a lamp, it would be my duty to light up thick darkness. If I were the sea tide, I would marshal rolling waves to cleanse the beach of all accumulated filth.

This quotation reflects aptly the state of mind of a lighter.

Fighters are badly needed in our time. But such fighters do not necessarily go to the battle- field gun in hand. Their weapons are not necessarily bullets. Their weapons may be knowledge, faith and strong will. They can bring the enemy sure death without drawing his blood.

A fighter is always in pursuit of light. Instead of basking in the sunshine under a clear sky, he holds a burning torch in the darkness of night to illuminate peoples way so that they can continue their journey till they see the dawn of a new day. It is the task of a fighter to dispel darkness. Instead of shirking darkness, he braves it and fights the hidden demons and monsters therein. He is determined to wipe them out and win light. He knows no compromise. He will keep on fighting until he wins light.

A fighter is perennially young. He is never irresolute or inactive. He plunges deep into teeming crowds in search of such vermin as flies and venomous mosquitoes. He will fight them relentlessly and refuse to coexist with them under the same sky. To him, life means nothing but continuous fighting. He either survives by winning light, or perishes with his body covered all over with cuts and bruises. In the course of the struggle, it is the “future” that serves as the beacon light to him; the “future” gives people hope and inspiration. He will never lose his youthful vigour.

A fighter will never lose heart or despair. He will pile up broken pieces of brick and stone to rebuild a nine-story pagoda on the ruins of failure. No blows will ever break his will. He will never close his eyes until he has breathed his last.

A fighter is always fearless. His steps are firm. Once he has settled on an objective, he will press right ahead. He is never afraid of being tripped by a stumbling block. No obstacles will ever make him change his mind. His eyes will never be hoodwinked by false appearances. His actions are guided by faith. He can endure any hardships or sufferings while striving to attain his chosen objective. He will never abandon work as long as he is alive.

This is the kind of fighter we now need. He is not necessarily possessed of superhuman capability. He is just an ordinary person. Anyone can be a fighter so long as he has the determination. Hence a few words of mine about “being a fighter” to encourage those young people who wander about in a depressed state, not knowing which way to go.

参考译文：

《做一名进攻型战士》

一个年轻的朋友写信问我：“应该做一个什么样的人？”我回答他：“做一个战士。”

另一个朋友问我：“怎样对付生活了？”我仍旧答道：“做一个战士。”

《战士颂》的作者曾经写过这样的话：

“我激荡在这绵绵不息、滂沱四方的生命洪流中，我就应该追逐这洪流，而且追过它，自己去造更广、更深的洪流。”

“我如果是一盏灯，这灯的用处便是照彻那多量的黑暗。我如果是海潮，便要鼓起波涛去洗涤海边一切陈腐的积物。”

这一段话很恰当地写出了战士的心情。

在这个时代，战士是最需要的。但是这样的战士并不一定要持枪上战场。他的武器也下一定是枪弹。他的武器还可以是知识、信仰和坚强的意志。他并不一定要流仇敌的血，却能更有把握地致敌人的死命，战士是永远追求光明的。他并不躺在晴空下享受阳光，在晴夜里燃起火炬，给人们照亮道路，使他们走向黎明。驱散黑暗，这是战士的任务。他不躲避黑暗，却要面对黑暗，跟躲藏在阴影里的魑魅、魍魉搏斗。他要消灭它们而取得光明。战士是不知道妥协的。他得不到光明便不会停止战斗。

战士永远是年轻的。他不犹豫，不休息。他深入人丛中，找寻苍蝇、毒蚊等等危害人类的东西。他不断地攻击它们，不肯与它们共同生存在一个天空下面，对于战士，生活就是不停的战斗，他不是取得光明而牛存，便是带着满身伤痕而死去。在战斗中力量只有增长，信仰只有加强，在战斗中给战士指路的是“未来”，“未来”给人以希望和鼓舞。战士永远不会失去青春的活力。

战士是不知道灰心与绝望的。他甚至在失败的废墟上，还要堆起破碎的砖石重建九级宝塔。任何打击都不能击破战士的意志。只有在死的'时候他才闭上眼睛。

战士是不知道畏缩的，他的脚步很坚定。一旦他认准目标，便会向前走去。他不怕被绊脚石摔倒，没有一种障碍能使他改变心思，假象绝不能迷住战士的眼睛，支配战士的行动的是信仰。他能够忍受一切艰难、痛苦，而达到他所选定的目标。除非他死，否则他决不放弃工作。

这便是我们现在需要的战士。这样的战士并不一定具有超人的能力。他是一个平凡的人。每个人都可以做战士，只要他有决心。所以我用“做一个进攻型的战士”来激励那些还在苦闷中彷徨，不知何去何从的年轻朋友。

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in most any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses.

One evening, Brownies family noticed that Brownie hadnt returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didnt show up the next day, and, despite their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing.

Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownies house alone. Barking, whining and generally pestering2 Brownies human family. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog.

Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. Ted, Brownies owner, was steadily harassed3 by the furious, adamant4 little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking insistently, then darting toward a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me! Its urgent!”

Eventually, Ted followed the frantic Spotty across the empty lot as Spotty paused to race back and bark encouragingly. The little dog led the man under a tree, past clumps5 of trees, to a desolate spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leghold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished hed taken Spottys earlier appeals seriously. Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.

Spotty had done more than simply led Brownies human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps1 which were later identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week!

Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in a single瞞inded quest to keep his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort. Spotty had evidently stayed with Brownie to protect him from predators2, snuggling with him at night to keep him warm and nuzzling3 him to keep his spirits up.

Brownies leg was treated by a veterinarian and he recovered. For many years thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends frolicking4 and chasing each other down that well瞱orn path between their houses.

布朗尼和斯波蒂是两只每天都会见面然后一起玩的邻居狗。像几乎能在任何社区找到的成对的狗一样，它们俩互相爱慕，常在一起玩耍嬉戏，因此两家之间的草地上已经踏出了一条小径。

一天傍晚，布朗尼的主人家发现它没有回家，搜寻一番也没找到。第二天，布朗尼依然没露面。尽管人们还在努力寻找着，到了第二周，它还是不见踪影。

奇怪的是，斯波蒂独自出现在布朗尼主人家，吠叫、哀嚎，还总是缠着家里的人，但他们忙于自己的生活，没有在意邻居家这只神经质的小狗。

一天早上，斯波蒂终于拒绝接受“不”的回答。斯波蒂到处跟着特德，汪汪地叫个不停，然后窜到近处空地上，又窜回来，似乎在说：“跟我来!情况紧急!”布朗尼的主人特德被这只暴怒的、不依不饶的`小狗骚扰个不停。

最后，特德跟着发疯似的斯波蒂穿过空地，小狗停步奔回，用叫声催促着。它领着特德从一棵树下穿过，经过树丛，来到离房子半英里远的一处荒地。在那里，特德发现他心爱的布朗尼还活着，一条后腿被一个钢制捕捉器夹着。特德大为震惊，后悔当初没有认真对待斯波蒂的求助。随后，一幅非凡的景象映入眼帘。

斯波蒂一直定时来看望布朗尼，一心一意要让它的朋友活下去，吃苦受累在所不惜。显然，斯波蒂陪着布朗尼，保护它免遭其他捕食动物的侵袭，夜间偎依着它为它驱寒，用鼻口拱它振作它的精神。

斯波蒂不仅仅只是带领布朗尼的主人来到它被困的朋友跟前。在受伤的布朗尼四周，特德发现有一圈狗食和餐桌上的残羹剩饭——后来证实是那个星期每餐喂斯波蒂吃剩下的食物!

兽医治愈了布朗尼的伤腿。自那以后多年中，两家邻居不时会看到这一对忠实的朋友嬉戏玩耍，在两幢住房间久踩成径的草地上相互追逐。

我的家

I am in desperate need of help -- or Ill go crazy. Were living in a single room -- my wife, my children and my in-laws. So our nerves are on edge, we yell and scream at one another. The room is a hell.

Do you promise to do whatever I tell you?; said the Master gravely.

I swear I shall do anything.

Very well. How many animals do you have?

A cow, a goat and six chickens.

Take them all into the room with you. Then come back after a week.

The disciple was appalled. But he had promised to obey! So he took the animals in. A week later he came back, a pitiable figure, moaning, Im a nervous wreck. The dirt! The stench! The noise! Were all on the verge of madness!

Go back,said the Master, and put the animals out.

The man ran all the way home. And came back the following day, his eyes sparkling with joy. How sweet life is! The animals are out. The home is a Paradise, so quiet and clean and roomy!

我非常需要帮助——或者我会疯的。我们生活在一个房间里——我的妻子，我的孩子和我的法律。我们整天神经兮兮，我们互相大喊大叫。房间是地狱。

你答应按我说的去做吗?大师一本正经地说。

我发誓我会做任何事。

好的，你有多少动物吗?

一头奶牛，一头山羊和六只鸡。

把它们全带到你的房间。一个星期之后再回来。

门徒大吃一惊。但他已经承诺服从!所以他把动物。一个星期后他回来了，可怜的人物，呻吟着，我很紧张。污垢!恶臭!噪声!我们就要发疯了!

回去吧，大师说，把动物放了。

这个男人跑回家。第二天回来时，他的'眼里闪烁着喜悦的光芒。生活是多么美好!动物们都离开了。家是一个天堂，那么安静，干净和宽敞的!

A man wanted to buy an ass. He went to the market, and saw a likely one. But he wanted to test him first. So he took the ass home, and put him into the stable with the other asses.

The new ass looked around, and immediately went to choose a place next to the laziest ass in the stable. When the man saw this he put a halter on the ass at once, and gave him back to his owner. The owner felt quite surprised. He asked the man, "Why are you back so soon? Have you tested him already?" "I dont want to test him any more," replied the man, "From the companion he chose for himself, I could see what sort of animal he is."

Once Yan Yuan asked his mentor Confucius why those who are good at swimming or diving can learn how to steer a boat very quickly.

Confucius said, "It is because those who are good at swimming do not fear water when they are in it. Those who are good at diving regard abysms(深远) just as land and hills. They can handle any dangerous situation with ease.

This kind of people is undaunted(勇敢的) at any place. In gambling, when person chips in his tiles he sometimes wins.

When he chips in his sliver hook, his mind is in dread. When he chips in his gold, he feels dizzy and has fear in his mind.

This is because he values worldly possessions too much Thus, those who think too much of worldly possessions must have clumsy thoughts."

有一次，颜渊问老师孔子为什么善于游泳和善于潜水的'人可以很快学好驾船的技术。

孔子说：“这是因为善于游泳的人虽然身在水中却不把水看得可怕，善于潜水的人把深渊也只看成丘陵陆地，他们面对各种危险情形，都应付自如。

这样的人无论在什么地方都会自然无畏。同样一个人，在赌博时，用瓦片下注往往可以巧中，用银钩下注就心存畏惧，用黄金下注就会头脑发昏，这是因为他看重身外之物而有所顾惜、心怀畏惧。”

It happened that a dog had some meat that he wanted to eat at home. On his way home he met a river. As he looked down, he saw his shadow in the water.

"Just look!"said he to himself. "That dog down there has some meat, too. If I could get it away from him, I would really eat well tonight!"

With this thought, he made a snap at the other dogs meat. And as he did, his own meat fell into the water. So then he had nothing at all.

Then he saw that the other dog had lost his meat, too. "That is as it should be!?thought he. "For I saw him trying to take my meat away from me."

By wanting to have everything, he has lost everything he had!

碰巧狗有一些肉，他想回到家后再吃。回家的路上，他遇到了一条河。当他往河里看时，在水里他看到了他的.影子。

“看啊!”他对自己说，“下面的那只狗也有一些肉。如果我能从他那里把肉弄过来，那我今晚就可以美餐一顿了!”

带着这个想法，他朝另一只狗的肉扑去。当他这么做时，他自己的肉掉进了水里。所以他就什么都没有了。

然后，他看到另一只狗的肉也没了。“活该!”他想，“因为我看到他想从我这里抢走我的肉。” 什么都想要，却失去了原来所拥有的!

What makes me angry? Mostly, I hate when someone tries to make someone else feel bad. I have to admit that once, when I was really angry, I actually called names. I regretted doing this afterwards, but not full heartedly because I think I was provoked in that situation.

The most positive way of dealing with anger is talking about the problem. I talk to someone who listens, or Ill write my thoughts down on paper. Learning how to deal with anger as youre growing up is so important. When youre younger, you might yell, or cry when youre angry, but as you get older, youre expected to handle your emotions much better.

Learning to control your emotion now will prevent you from doing something that youll regret later on in life!

什么事会让我愤怒呢?通常情况下，当有人试图使别人觉得不舒服时，我会非常愤怒。我不得不承认，有一次，在我实在很生气的时候，我确实骂了人。过后，我很后悔那么做，但我不认为全是我的错，因为我觉得在那种情况下，我是被激怒了。

解决愤怒的最积极的方法是把问题说出来。我说给愿意听的人，或者把我的想法写在纸上。在你成长的.过程中，学会处理愤怒是非常重要的。小时候，你生气的时候可以大喊大叫或者哭闹，但长大后，你被期望能更好地控制情绪。

现在就学着控制情绪能让你避免做一些可能使你以后遗憾一生的事情。

Whether we find a joke funny or not largely depends on where we have been brought up. The sense of humour is mysteriously bound up with national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears.

Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal appeal. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say, Charlie Chaplins early films. However, a new type of humour, which stems largely from America, has recently come into fashion. It is cal1ed sick humour . Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious accidents. Many people find this sort of joke distasteful. The following example of sick humour will enable you to judge for yourself.

A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on pestering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He dreaded having to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best, the patients recovery was slow. On Christmas day, the man still had his right leg in plaster. He spent

a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day, however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good. The man took heart and, sure enough, on New Years Eve he was able to hobble along to a party. To compensate for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him. In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still mumbling something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.

我们觉得一则笑话是否好笑，很大程度取决于我们是在哪儿长大的。幽默感与民族有着神秘莫测的联系。譬如，法国人听完一则俄国笑话可能很难发笑。同样的道理，一则可以令英国人笑出泪来的笑话，俄国人听了可能觉得没有什么可笑之处。

大部分令人发笑的故事都是根据喜剧情节编写的。尽管民族不同，有些滑稽的`情节却能产生普遍的效果。比如说，不管你生活在哪里，你看查理.卓别林的早期电影很难不发笑。然而，近来一种新式幽默流行了起来，这种幽默主要来自美国。它被叫作"病态幽默"。喜剧演员根据悲剧情节诸如暴死，重大事故等来编造笑话。许多人认为这种笑话是低级庸俗的。下面是个"病态幽默"的实例，你可据此自己作出判断。

圣诞节前几周，某人摔断了右腿被送进医院。从他进医院那一刻时，他就缠住医生，让医生告诉他什么时候能回家。他十分害怕在医院过圣诞。尽管医生竭力医治，但病人恢复缓慢。圣诞节那天，他的右腿还上着石膏，他在床上郁郁不乐地躺了一天，想着他错过的种种欢乐。然而，第二天，医生安慰他说，出院欢度新年的可能性还是很大的，那人听后振作了精神。果然，除夕时他可以一瘸一拐地去参加晚会了。为了补偿住院这一段不愉快的`经历，那人喝得稍许多了一点。在晚会上他尽情娱乐，一再告诉大家他是多么讨厌医院。晚会结束时，他嘴里还在嘟哝着医院的事，突然踩到一块冰上滑倒了，摔断了左腿。

Small boats loaded with wares sped to the great liner as she was entering the harbour. Before she had anchored, the men from the boats had climbed on board and the decks were soon covered with colourful rugs from Persia, silks from India, copper coffee pots, and beautiful hand-made silver-ware. It was difficult not to be tempted. Many of the tourists on board had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decided not to buy anything until I had disembarked. I had no sooner got off the ship than I was assailed by a man who wanted to sell me a diamond ring. I had no intention of buying one, but I could not conceal the fact that I was impressed by the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as big as marbles. The man went to great lengths to prove that the diamonds were real. As we were walking past a shop, he held a diamond firmly against the window and made a deep impression in the glass. It took me over half an hour to get rid of him.

The next man to approach me was selling expensive pens and watches. I examined one of the pens closely. It certainly looked genuine. At the base of the gold cap, the words made in the U.S.A. had been neatly inscribed. The man said that the pen was worth &10, but as a special favour, he would let me have it for &8. I shook my head and held up a finger indicating that I was willing to

pay a pound. Gesticulating wildly, the man acted as if he found my offer outrageous, but he eventually reduced the price to &3. Shrugging my shoulders, I began to walk away when, a moment later, he ran after me and thrust the pen into my hands. Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he readily accepted the pound I gave him. I felt especially pleased with my wonderful bargain--until I got back to the ship. No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to fill this beautiful pen with ink and to this day it has never written a single word !

当一艘大型班船进港的时候，许多小船载着各种杂货快速向客轮驶来。大船还未下锚。小船上的人就纷纷爬上客轮。一会儿工夫，甲板上就摆满了色彩斑斓的波斯地毯。印度丝绸。铜咖啡壶以及手工制作的漂亮的银器。要想不为这些东西所动心是很困难的。船上许多游客开始同商贩讨价还价起来，但我打定主意上岸之前什么也不买。

我刚下船，就被一个人截住，他向我兜售一枚钻石戒指。我根本不想买，但我不能掩饰这样一个事实：其钻石之大给我留下了深刻的印象。有的钻石像玻璃球那么大。那人竭力想证明那钻石是真货。我们路过一家商店时，他将一颗钻石使劲地往橱窗上一按，在玻璃上留下一道深痕。我花了半个多小时才摆脱了他的纠缠。

向我兜售的第二个人是卖名贵钢笔和手表的'。我仔细察看了一枝钢笔，那看上去确实不假，金笔帽下方整齐地刻有"美国制造"字样。那人说那支笔值50英镑，作为特别优惠，他愿意让我出30英镑成交。我摇摇头，伸出5根手指表示我只愿出5镑钱。那人激动地打着手势，仿佛我的出价使他不能容忍。但他终于把价钱降到了10英镑。我耸耸肩膀掉头走开了。一会儿，他突然从后追了上来，把笔塞到我手里。虽然他绝望地举起双手，但他毫不迟疑地收下了我付给他的5镑钱。在回到船上之前，我一直为我的绝妙的讨价还价而洋洋得意。然而不管我如何摆弄，那枝漂亮的钢笔就是吸不进墨水来。直到今天，那枝笔连一个字也没写过!

A girl will never forget the first boy she likes, even if things dont quite work out. But usually someone is there to offer words of wisdom: “Honey, do you know why that little boy did those things and said those things? Because he likes you.”

And there it is, thats the beginning of our problem. Do you know what this means? Were all encouraged…No! programmed… To believe that if a guy acts like a total jerk, that means he likes you. Why do we say this stuff to each other? Is it possible that its because were too scared and its too hard to say the one obvious truth thats staring everyone in the face?——Hes just not that into youEvery movie we see, every story were told, implores us to wait for it. The third act twist. The unexpected declaration of love. The exception to the rule. But sometimes were so focused on finding our happy ending, we dont learn how to read the signs, how to tell the ones who want us from the ones who dont, the ones who will stay from the ones who will leave. Maybe this happy ending doesnt include a wonderful guy. Maybe its you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is just moving on.

Or maybe the happy ending is this: knowing that through all the unreturned phone calls, and broken hearts, through all the blunders and misread signals, through all of the pain and embarrassment, you never, ever gave up hope.

女孩儿永远忘不掉她喜欢的第一个男孩儿。就算那一幕并不是那么完美。但总会有个人告诉你这句至理名言：“亲爱的，你知道那个男孩为什么那么做，为什么这么说你吗？因为他喜欢你。”

就是这句，我们一切烦恼的开端。你知道这意味着什么？这是多么鼓舞人心啊…不，蛊惑人心…一厢情愿的.以为如果男孩对你使坏的话，就意味着他喜欢上你了。为什么我们老这么和对方说？是因为一语道破真相对我们来说太惨无人道，而真相却如此显而易见——其实他没那么喜欢你。我们看过的每一部电影，听过的每一个故事，都叫到我们去等待真爱。那经典三段式、意想不到的告白、相信自己是那个例外。但有时我们太过于专注最后的好结果，以致忽略了身边的那些信号，忘了怎样去分辨那些真正想要和我们在一起的人和迟早会离开我们的人。但或许有的完美结局里并没有男主人公。或许你就能靠你自己，整理碎片，重新开始，轻松淡定只为更美好的未来。可能那个完美的结局就是，向前走。

又或许完美结局是这样的：在经历了无数次的拒绝，伤心，无数次的自作多情，和数不清的痛苦和尴尬之后，你依旧（对真爱）满怀希冀。

On Motes and Beams

It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others. I suppose the reason is that we know all the circumstances that have occasioned them and so manage to excuse in ourselves what we cannot excuse in others. We turn our attention away from our own defects, and when we are forced by untoward events to consider them, find it easy to condone them. For all I know we are right to do this; they are part of us and we must accept the good and bad in ourselves together.

But when we come to judge others, it is not by ourselves as we really are that we judge them, but by an image that we have formed of ourselves fro which we have left out everything that offends our vanity or would discredit us in the eyes of the world. To take a trivial instance: how scornful we are when we catch someone out telling a lie; but who can say that he has never told not one, but a hundred?

There is not much to choose between men. They are all a hotchpotch of greatness and littleness, of virtue and vice, of nobility and baseness. Some have more strength of character, or more opportunity, and so in one direction or another give their instincts freer play, but potentially they are the same. For my part, I do not think I am any better or any worse than most people, but I know that if I set down every action in my life and every thought that has crossed my mind, the world would consider me a monster of depravity. The knowledge that these reveries are common to all men should inspire one with tolerance to oneself as well as to others. It is well also if they enable us to look upon our fellows, even the most eminent and respectable, with humor, and if they lead us to take ourselves not too seriously.

微尘与栋梁

让人奇怪的是，和别人的过错比起来，我们自身的过错往往不是那样的可恶。我想，其原因应该是我们知晓一切导致自己犯错的情况，因此能够设法谅解自己的错误，而别人的'错误却不能谅解。我们对自己的缺点不甚关注，即便是深陷困境而不得不正视它们的时候，我们也会很容易就宽恕自己。据我所知，我们这样做是正确的。缺点是我们自身的一部分，我们必须接纳自己的好和坏。

但是当我们评判别人的时候，情况就不同了。我们不是通过真实的自我来评判别人，而是用一种自我形象来评判，这种自我形象完全摒弃了在任何世人眼中会伤害到自己的虚荣或者体面的东西。举一个小例子来说：当觉察到别人说谎时，我们是多么地蔑视他啊!但是，谁能够说自从未说过谎?可能还不止一百次呢。

人和人之间没什么大的差别。他们皆是伟大与渺小，善良与邪恶，高尚与低俗的混合体。有的人性格比较坚毅，机会也比较多，因而达个或那个方面，能够更自由地发挥自己的禀赋，但是人类的潜能却都是相同的。至于我自己，我认为自己并不比大多数人更好或者更差，但是我知道，假如我记下我生命中每一次举动和每一个掠过我脑海的想法的话，世界就会将我视为一个邪恶的怪物。每个人都会有这样的怪念头，这样的认识应当能够启发我们宽容自己，也宽容他人。同时，假如因此我们得以用幽默的态度看待他人，即使是天下最优秀最令人尊敬的人，而且假如我们也因此不把自己看得过于重要，那是很有裨益的。

Relish the Moment

Tucked away in our subconsciousness is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the moment. 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 ad wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.

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.

“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!”

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.

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.

So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, 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.

品味现在

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大陆的漫漫旅程之中! 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、平原与山谷、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!

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!

"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! "

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!

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!

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, 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!

If we look at the sky on a perfectly fine summers day we shall find that the blue colour is the most pure and intense overhead，and when looking high up in a direction opposite to the sun.

Near the horizon it is always less bright，while in the region immediately around the sun it is more or less yellow. The reason of this is that near the horizon we look through a very great thickness of the lower atmosphere，which is full of the larger dust particles reflecting white light，and this diluter the pure blue of the higher atmosphere seen beyond，and in the vicinity of the sun a good deal of the blue light is reflected back into space by the finer dust，thus giving a yellowish tinge to that which reaches us reflected chiefly from the coarse dust of the lower atmosphere.

At sunset and sunrise，however，this last effect is greatly intensified，owing to the great thickness of the strata of air through which the light reaches us. The enormous amount of this dust is well shown by the fact that then only we can look full at the sun，even when the whole sky is free from clouds and there is no apparent mist.

But the suns rays then reach us after having passed，first，through an enormous thickness of the higher strata of the air，the minute dust of which reflects most of the higher strata of the air，the minute dust of which reflects most of the blue rays away from us，leaving the complementary yellow light to pass on，Then，the somewhat coarser dust reflects the green rays，leaving a more orange-coloured light to pass on；and finally some of the yellow is reflected，leaving almost pure red.

But owing to the constant presence of air currents，arranging both the dust and vapor in strata of varying extent and density，and of high or low clouds which both absorb and reflect the light in varying degrees，we see produced all those wondrous combinations of tints and those gorgeous ever-changing colours which are a constant source of admiration and delight to all who have the advantage of an uninterrupted view to the west and who are accustomed to watch for those not infrequent exhibitions of natures kaleidoscopic colour painting.

With every change in the altitude of the sun the display changes its character；and most of all when it has sunk below the horizon，and owing to the more favourable angles a larger quantity of the coloured light is reflected toward us. Especially when there is a certain amount of cloud is this the case.

These，so long as the sun was above the horizon，intercepted much of the light and colour，but when the great luminary has passed away from our direct vision，his light shines more directly on the under sides of all the clouds and air strata of different densities；a new and more brilliant light flushes the western sky，and a display of gorgeous ever-changing tints occurs which are at once the delight of the beholder and the despair of the artist. And all this unsurpassable glory we owe to——dust！

晴空万里的夏日，如果我们观察一下天空，且背向太阳，极目仰望，就会发现头顶上空的蓝色最纯净，最浓郁。

靠近天边，色彩往往较暗淡，太阳周围的地方则略呈黄色。这是因为我们向天边望去时，目光要穿过极厚的低空大气层，其中布满颗粒较大的尘埃，反射出白光，这就冲淡了天际高空大气层的纯蓝色。在太阳附近，大 量蓝光则由细微的尘埃反射回太空。这样，主要由低空大气层的粗粒尘埃反射到地面的光线，便带有浅黄色。

不过，在日出日落时，由于光线到达地面南非要穿过厚厚的大气层，这种反射效果大大增强了。只有在这种时候，我们才可以直视太阳，即使万里长空没有一点云彩，不见一丝雾霭。这就充分显示了低空尘埃的.数量之大。

但是太阳的光线终于到达了地面。它们先是穿过厚度极大的高空大气层，其中的细微尘埃把大部分蓝色的光反射掉了，让补色的黄光继续通行。然后，粗粒尘埃又反射掉绿色的光，让偏橙色的光继续通行。最后，部分黄色的光也反射掉，剩下几乎是纯红色的了。

不过，由于不断出现气流，把法埃与水汽分层排列，广度不均，密度各异，加上高低空常有云层，不同程度地吸收并反射阳光，我们这才看到各种奇异的色调斑剥陆离，诸多绚丽的色彩变化万千；任何人只要有幸将西方的景致一览 无余，只要有心观看大自然不时展现的那一幅幅瞬息万变的彩画，都会为之赞不绝口，喜不自胜。

随着夕阳缓缓西坠，这种景观也不断变幻；尤其是在太阳沉入地平线之后，由于角度更加适宜，五颜六色的光就都发射到地面上来。遇有些许云雾，更是如此。

本来，只要太阳还位于地平线之上，云雾便截住了不少夕阳和色彩；而今太阳从我们的视野消失，阳关便更为直接地照射到密度各异的重重云霭与层层大气的底部；一片崭新的、更加灿烂的阳光染红了西天，一幅景观色彩绚丽，变化万千，观赏者固然赏心悦目，然而自叹莫及。而我们之所以能领略如此无与伦比的美景，全应归功于—尘埃！

I am not an amb’s profession as superior or inferior. I merely hope to have enough to eat and enough to wear so that I can dedicate myself to writing.

Talking about writing, I have a dream to realize. I hope I can write a good play some day. This dream, however, is not a small one. To realize my dream, firstly I need to read a lot or, better still, spend a couple of years studying abroad. Secondly, I must go to the theater and see as many plays as possible to cultivate my eyes. Thirdly, I should get a job at the theater for a year or two to be in everyday contact with directors, actors and all kinds of technicians. Fourthly, perhaps, I should also learn some acting, getting a minor role to play from time to time. Even with all these prerequisites fulfilled, I am still not sure that I have the aptitude of a playwright. If not, my dream cannot come true even if I have worked the hardest. So you see, in this sense, my dream is really not a small one.

You might think I am not telling the truth一making such a ftiss over the mere writing of a play. Very well. Let us look at the matter in a broader perspective. Even in a nation without written fiction, there must be bAllads and folk-tales passed down orally. Man, in a sense, lives in memory. As he remembers the past, he cares for the future. Otherwise he loses his sense of continuity not knowing where he comes from and where he is going. Therefore, literature and arts, either in written form or oral, will never die. If they did, culture would die too.

You see how important literature and arts are!

And then, it was not until culture was further developed that man, stimulated by religious and social activities, invented drama. Drama is a genre much younger than poetry and fiction, but more beautiful and lively and more refined in constume, acting and monologue or dialogue. Drama presents to the audience the culture of the day in a vivid manner. It develops along with culture. When a nation is developed in drama, it can never be barbarized again because drama requires good stories with good ideas, refined language and good music, graceful dancing and a good stage; it also requires well-trained actors and actresses and well-mannered audiences. It is integrated with arts and culture as well. To a certain degree drama is the spokesman of culture. If by now you still held drama in contempt, I’d like you to think about one question: Is there anything else that can substitute for drama? I can assure you there is none. Here is another question for you to think about: Is there any barbarous tribe that is developed in real drama or any civilized country that is without drama?

You see how important drama is!

Since drama is so important, dont you think I should make a resolution to write one? Drama is rooted in the soil of literature and arts, but it absorbs nourishment All arts.

Well, though I am not an ambitious person, I want to make a resolution on the occasion of this Drama Festival. I don’t mean to add to the clamor but to write some plays that are indispensable to the growth of culture. Literature and arts take nourishment from culture and at the same time guide and promote culture. Of all the genres of literature and arts, drama is the only one that integrates other arts with their artistic effects.

The construction of culture has an important role to play in the War against Japanese Aggression. So when I say I want to write a good play, I am not talking nonsense. As for whether I will be able to realize my dream, it all depends on how hard I work. I am willing to work in this field together with my friends and colleagues to achieve this goal.

我是个没有什么大志愿的人。我向来没说过自己有如何了不起的学问与天才，也没觉得谁的职业比我自己的高贵或低贱。我只希望吃的饱，穿的暖，而尽心尽力的写些文章。

在写文章中我可是有个志愿——希望能写出一本好的剧本来。虽然我是没有什么远大志愿的人，这个志愿——写个好剧本——可的确不算很小。要达到这个志愿，我须第一，去读很多很多的书——顶好是能上外国去读几年书。第二，我须有戏必看，去“养”我的眼睛。第三，我想我应当到什么剧团中作二年职员，天天和导演、演员、与其他的专门的技术人员有亲密的接触。第四，或者我还应当学学演戏，常扮个什么不重要的角色。把上述四项都作到，我还不知道我是否有写剧的天才。假若没有，我的工夫虽然下到了，可还是难以如愿。这个志愿真的不算小!

恐怕有人以为我不很实诚吧——写个剧本也值得发这么大的愿?好，让咱们往远里说说吧。第一，即使在没有用文字写出来的小说的民族中，他们也必定有口传的`诗歌与故事，人，从一个意义来说，是活在记忆中的。他记得过去，才关切将来。否则他们活在虚无飘渺中，不知自己从何而来，和要往哪里去。因此，文艺——不管是写出来的还是口传的一一老不会死亡。文艺出丧的日子，也就是文化死亡的时候。

你看，文艺有多么重要!

第二，等到文化较高了，人们——受宗教的或社会行动的带动——才发明了戏剧。戏剧比诗歌与故事年轻，而在服装上，动作上，谈吐上，都比它的哥哥们更漂亮、活泼、文雅的多。戏剧把当时的文化整个的活现在人的眼前。文化有多么高，多么大，它也就有多么高，多么大。有了戏剧的民族，不会再返归野蛮，它需要好的故事，好的思想，好言语，好的`音乐、服装、跳舞，与好的舞台。它还需要受过特别训练的演员与有教养的观众。它不但要包括艺术，也要包括文化!戏剧，从一个意义来说，是文化的发言人。假如你还不大看起戏剧，就请想想看吧，有没有第二个东西足以代替它?准保没有!再看看，哪一个野蛮民族“有”真正的戏剧?和哪个文化高的民族，“没有”戏剧?

你看，戏剧有多么重要!

戏剧既是这么大的东西，我怎能不为要写个剧本而下个很大的志愿呢?它的根子虽然生长在文艺的园地里，它所吸取的却是艺术全部的养分啊!

好吧，虽然我是个没有什么远志的人，我却要在今天——戏剧节一一定下这么一个大志愿。这并不是要凑凑热闹，而是想在文化的建设中写写少不得的戏剧呀!文化滋养艺术，艺术又翻回头来领导文化，建设文化。在艺术中，能综合艺术各部门而求其总效果的，只有戏剧。

抗战与文化建设须携手而行。那么，我要立志写个好剧本，大概并不能算作无聊。至于我能否如愿以偿，那就看我的努力如何了。愿与戏剧同仁共勉之。

A veteran springboard diver, defeated by his compatriot in the finals of a worldchampionship, offering congratulations to the victor in a warm embrace and waving a tearfulfarewell to the audience. An outstanding female fencer falling in a decisive set not under theattack of her rival’s sword but as a result of a muscular spasm of her own.

Those are common occurrences in the athletic world but they are scenes of tragic heroismbringing tears to the eyes of the outgoing heroes as well as the audience. Sportsmen spendthe best part of their lives in tough training and fierce competitions fighting for ever betterrecords. When it bccomcs evident they are on the decline they still make strenuous efforts togive their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their brilliant career.

Chances to compete for championship are few and far between. Life is short. Still shorter isthe time for an athlete trying to win games. None other than an athletic contestant feels sokeenly about the rarity of opportunity and the fleeting of time. He cherishes every minute,makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way. He gets as much as he gives,winning honours not only for himself but also for his country.

To participate and to win—that is the Olympic spirit. It finds expression in the weak daring todefy the strong, and the strong striving for ever better performance. Ever better—the idealalways luring a sportsman forward. He will do everything he can for it, never relax, never giveup. It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated—even the best is bound tobe surpassed by someone still stronger. This is the rule of sports—thousands of losers to setoff one victor who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honour list. However,undaunted by the inevitable failure, he is always striving to do the best he can. When thetime comes and he knows he he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner,aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his bit for the “ever better” records of theOlympic Games. He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain.

在世界锦标赛决赛时，一位跳板跳水名将被他的同胞战友击败，却热烈拥抱胜利者，满含热泪向观众挥手告别。一位优秀的女击剑手在决胜的一局倒下了，不是倒在敌手的剑下，而是因为自己突然肌肉痉挛。

这类事情在体坛司空见惯，但是这些英雄的悲剧场景不仅使失败的英雄热泪盈眶，而且使观众为之落泪。运动员把一生最美好的时光贡献出来，艰苦训练，激烈拼搏，希望成绩蒸蒸日上。如今他们过了巅峰走下坡路，仍然奋力发挥，力争为自己光辉的运动生涯划上一个完美的句号。

人生能有几回搏!生命有限，竞技生命更是短暂的。运动员比任何人更深刻地认识到时光易逝机会难得。他会珍惜并利用每—分钟，抓住任何一个机会。他付出许多，也得到许多，不仅为自己也为袓国赢得荣誉。

参与并取胜，这就是奥林匹克精神。它表现于弱者敢于向强者挑战，也表现于强者力争取得更好的成绩。胜而又胜，优而更优，这种理想一直鼓舞着运动员奋力前进。他会尽其所能，永不松懈，永不罢休。有人说竞技者终究会是失败者，即使是最佳运动员也终将被更强者淘汰。成千上万个失败者才涌现一个胜利者，这个胜利者最终仍将被取代，挤出光荣榜——这就是竞技运动的'规律。然而运动员却从不为这种不可避免的失败结局所沮丧，仍然力争最佳发挥。实在到了自知技穷之时，他会愉快地退下来，让位给年轻的优胜者，并对自己在奥林匹克运动中争取更好成绩尽了一份力而心满意足。他会自豪地说他的靑春没有虚度。

Jiuzhaigou, Chinas Fairyland

Sichuan Province in southwest China is renowned for its many fascinatingnatural wonderswhich have attraaed millions of travelers over the centuries.

The recent discovery of the scenic beauty of Jiuzhaigou (Nine-village Ravine)has added charmto the picturesque landscape. Known as "Chinas Fairyland", Jiuzhaigou is located in the hillsalong the borders of Nanping,Pingwu and Songpan counties, some 400 kilometers fromChengdu, the pro-vinaal capital. Three scenic areas-Shuzheng qunhaigou, Zechawagou andRizegou-combine to make up the 60,000 hectares of fairyland, which is nearly 2,500 metersabove sea level. Its name "Nine-village Ravine"is sup-posed to be because Tibetans onceinhabited nine villages in the ravine.

Here is a brief record in "Green Lakes", a chapter in the Annals ofNanpingCounty: "InJiuzhaigou, lakes meander for miles, with wooded hills mir-rored in the clear water." The scene,actually, is much more beautiffil than can be put into words. Sichuan Prorrince is rich in scenicwonders, each with its own distinctive features—the elegance of Mount Emei, the serenityofMount Qingcheng,the sharp precipice of Jianmen Pass, and the grandeur of Kuimen. But todepict the diverse natural beauty of Jiuzhaigou in one or two words is not nearly enough. "Fairyland",however inadequate, is perhaps the only word to choose.

Intrigued by this fairyland, true lovers of nature have tried recording its uniquebeauty inpoems, paintings, photographs and travel notes. An old local Tibetan tells the story ofJiuzhaigou: "Once upon a time, there lived deep in the mountains an immortal named Dage anda fairy maiden named Wonuosemo. They fell in love. One day, Dage presented Wonuosemowith a bright mirror which he had polished with the wind and the clouds. Unfortunately, themirror slipped from the maidens hand and broke into 108 pieces, each turning into a lake ofemerald green."It is no wonder why scenic Jiuzhaigou is so entertaining, with so manydistinctive "Green Lakes" reigning over the whole area.

China is a land of scenic contrasts, each uniquely representing its own area: West Lake inHangzhou with enchanting pavilions set in quiet surroundings, Mount Emei in Sichuan withpeaks peeping through mist and clouds, Guilin in Guangxi with panoramic views of mountainsand rivers. And Jiuzhaigou presents another view. Aged trees wave the seasons by, amidcarpets of wild flowers and thick green vegetation. Sparkling lakes and waterfalls vary withevery season. Some rare trees and grasses, survivors of the glacial epoch,still thrive here inharmony with a host of creatures which make this ravine their home, for the land teems withsuch animals as giant pandas, golden monkeys, takins, white-eared pheasants, deer and riverdeer. All of this unfolds into a panorama of beautifully balanced fauna and flora. As observersfrom Nanping County have justly put it, "All the beauty of Jiuzhaigou is endowed by nature. Ifthe natural charm were removed, there would be no more of Jiuzhaigou."Mystic lakes andsparkling waterfalls captivate your eyes as you enter the ravine. The trees are their greenestin spring when intensified by colorful flowers. In summer, warm tints spread over the hills andlakelands. As summer merges into autumn, the maple trees turn fiery-red, splashing colorthrough the thickly forested hills. Tranquility pervades primitive Jiuzhaigou throughout theyear, particularly at places around Mirror Lake and Five-flower Lake at Rizegou, and Multi-coloredLake at Zechawagou, where a profusion of colors is brought into full harmony with singular spectacle can only be seen in Jiuzhaigou-a natural preserve.

In addition to this natural beauty Jiuzhaigou, again, is noted for its three scenic areas whichare so concentrated in the region and yet so strikingly contrasted with each other thattourists cannot believe their eyes even when they see them. After visiting this fairyland inautumn, a tourist entrepreneur from abroad exclaimed, "Of all the scenic spots the world hasever produced, nothing compares with this." He then turned to his companion, the deputyhead of Nanping County, and said, "You are lucky to govern the most beautiful place in theworld."Scenic Jiuzhaigou is indeed one of natures most extravagant splendors anywhere andthe crowning glory of Sichuan Province.

蜀中山水，不知迷醉了多少古人和今人……

近年来，在四川北部南坪县境内，闪现出一颗五光十色的风光“宝石”，这就是人们赞不绝口的“神话世界”九寨沟。它镶嵌在松潘、南坪、平武三县接壤的群山之中，面积约6万公顷，距成都约400公里。九寨沟，由树正群海沟、则查洼沟、日则沟三条主沟组成，海拔平均在2，500米左右。过去，沟中有九个藏族村寨，因此得名。

海狭长数里。水光浮翠，倒映林岚。”九寨沟风光之美，实际上百倍于这样的描绘。就四川的名山秀水而论，总是有它们各自的独特风格和个性的。如峨嵋山的“秀”，青城山的“幽”，剑门关的“险”，夔门的“雄”。九寨沟的风光，因它的内涵丰富，很难以一字穷述，还须继续探幽发微。说它宛若“神话世界”，恐怕也只是见重于外在的美吧。

论山品水，古今时尚。或以诗，或以画，或以游记，或以摄影，运用各种不同的艺术手段，表现出山水风光的风格和个性。九寨沟风光的风格和个性，还在不断探索和认识的过程中.这里，得感谢一位长居山中的藏族老人，他讲述了九寨山水莱源的一则神话故事。他说在很古很古的时候，九寨沟万山丛中，有个男神仙达戈，和美丽的女神仙沃诺色嫫自由恋爱，男神仙用风云磨了一面镜子，送给女神仙作梳妆打扮用;女神仙接镜时失手，摔成108块碎片，散落山中，变成了108个“翠海”。古老的传说启发了我们：九寨沟的奇美风光，就在于它有这天然生成的108个“翠海”;从风光的结构上讲，它是以水为主体的，这就有别于其他山水的特色了。

祖国山水，风格多样;多样的风格，相对应而存在，相比较而多姿。杭州西湖，水榭歌台，人工赋予它典雅美。蜀中仙山峨嵋，飘浮于云涛雾海，呈秀色于烟雨浸漫的山林。誉满中华的桂林山水，水秀山奇，山水平分秋色。九寨沟风光，却又是另一番景象了。在那里，古树摇曳春秋，山花自谢自开，.植被茸茸生烟，海子和瀑布随着季节的推移而变幻多姿;在那里，冰河时期遗留下来的星叶草、独叶草、先花后叶的领春树，以及熊猫、金丝猴、扭角羚、白马鸡、獐、鹿……组合成了奇异的“动植物王国”。据南坪县对九寨风光有独到见解者讲：“九寨沟的山水风光，纵有万丽千奇，一旦离开原始的自然美，就一切都没有了。”他们的见解是精辟的。当你步人沟中，便可见树正群海淡荡生辉，瀑布舒洒碧玉。一到金秋，满山枫叶降红。盛夏，湖山幽翠。仲春，树绿花艳……四时都呈现出它的天然原始，宁静幽深。日则沟里的镜湖、五花海，则查洼沟里的.五彩池，虽缤纷艳丽，但令人迷醉的却是绚丽的和谐景色。这种独特的景观，只有在这个自然保护区才能见到。因此说，天然原始是九寨沟风光的个性和风格，是比较得当的。

当然，这并不排除九寨沟风光的其他特点，它的风景点集中，它的三条主沟，各具特色而又富多种魅力。一位经验丰富纵览过世界风光的国际旅游企业家，曾在九寨沟风光最妩媚的秋天做了一次短游，他说：“像九寨沟这样美妙的景色，世界上是少有的。”他情不自禁地对陪同他的藏族副县长说：“你真幸福啊!你是世界上最美丽的县的县长。”

九寨沟风光，不愧是蜀中又一幅新的山水画卷。

Nowadays, credit cards have been increasingly popular on campus in that banks are growingly paying their attention to students and laying out various policies to cater for students’ need.

People hold different views towards students’ owning credit cards. As far as I am concerned, it should be cautious for students to keep credit cards.

Students need to be calm and wise when applying for or using credit cards . There are latent risks associated with credit cards.

Some students find it quite easy to exceed their budget.

They are tempted to purchase goods that they do not really need, and can become quickly overburdened by debt.

The credit cards often charge a high rate of interest, which exacerbates the problems for these people.

And in the long run, this irresponsible and irrational consumption behavior will be impeditive for students to develop into a good consumption habit.

On the other hand, when in emergency circumstances, credit cards will play its role and save you bother relatives or friends.

Credit cards can temporarily relieve your financial burden.

Minimum repayment or amortization is preferred alternative when you are strapped for cash.

如今，信用卡在校园里越来越受欢迎，因为银行越来越关注学生，并制定各种政策来满足学生的需求。

人们对学生拥有信用卡持有不同的看法。就我而言，学生保留信用卡应该很谨慎。

学生们在申请或者使用信用卡的时候要冷静理智。信用卡本身伴随着风险。

有些学生发现很容易超过自己的预算。他们常常情不自禁地就购买了他们并不真正需要的商品，并且很快变得负债累累。

信用卡往往收取较高的利率，无疑使得这一问题雪上加霜。

并且从长远来看，这一不负责任、不理智的消费行为将有碍于学生养成一个良好的消费习惯。

当然，信用卡也有用武之地。遇到紧急情况时，信用卡可以给持卡人省去叨扰亲戚或朋友的.麻烦。

信用卡可暂时缓解你的经济压力。

按最低还款额或者分期还款，是个不错的选择，当你手头不太宽裕的时候。

Mother Teresa of Calcutta was often quoted as saying: "I know God will not give me anything I cant handle. I just wish He didnt trust me so much." Over the years I have found myself often feeling the same way. I have had a blessed life, but it has never been an easy one.

In my 45 years I have had to deal with sickness, injuries, accidents, and pain. I have had to deal with years of poverty and financial struggles. I have had to deal with my sons mental handicaps, the death of loved ones, and being separated from those I love. I have had to deal with anger, betrayal, confusion, depression and at times even despair.

Like so many before me I have asked the question: Why do bad things happen to good people? It is a question that has been asked throughout the ages. Books have even been written about it.

When I remember all that I have faced and gone through in this life, I realize that God has used all of it to eventually make me better. With pain came empathy. With grief came healing. With frustration came patience.

With struggles came strength. With sorrow came joy. With anger came love. And with despair came trust in God. Every test, challenge, and tragedy eventually led me to greater goodness, greater love, and greater Oneness with our Heavenly Father.

None of us likes the negative experiences in life. None of us enjoys pain. None of us wants to go through sorrow. May each day here then help you to grow better and more loving.

参考翻译：

加尔各答的特蕾莎修女有句经常被引用的话：“我知道上帝不会给我无法完成的事情，我只希望他不要那么信任我。”在过去的几十年中我也有同样的感受，生活虽然蒙福，但却不易。

在45年的岁月中我经历了疾病、伤害、事故、痛苦。除了连年的贫困和经济上的窘迫，我还要只顾上智力有障碍的'儿子，与所爱之人天人永隔、被迫分离。还要面对悲愤、背叛、困惑、压抑甚至还有时不时的绝望。

像许多前人一样，我也不禁要问：“为什么好人要遭受这么多的劫难?”这个问题被追问已久，书上也没有答案。

当我回忆起此生所经历的那些事情，我顿悟到原来上帝这么做是为了最终让我们成为更好的人。痛苦带来同理之心，悲哀带来救助之心，挫折带来静候之心。

化悲愤为力量，苦尽甘来，因恨生爱。绝望中相信上帝的`救赎。每一关、每一个挑战，每一个悲剧在上帝的指引下让我更仁慈、博爱，成为更好的人。

没有人喜欢负面经历，也没有人喜欢痛苦，跟没有人喜欢历经悲伤。愿每天你都能成为更好的自己，更懂得爱。

A distant, oversize world causes cosmic confusion

The discovery of planets around distant stars has become like space-shuttle launches--newsworthy but just barely. With some 50 extrasolar planets under their belt, astronomers have to announce something really strange to get anyone s attention.

Last week they did just that. Standing in front of colleagues and reporters at the American Astronomical Society s semiannual meeting in San Diego, the world s premier planet-hunting team--astronomer Geoffrey Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues--presented not one but two remarkable finds. The first is a pair of planets, each about the mass of Jupiter, that whirl around their home star 15 light-years from Earth in perfect lockstep. One takes 30 days to complete an orbit, the other exactly twice as long. Nobody has ever seen such a configuration. But the second discovery is far stranger--a solar system 123 light-years away, in the constellation Serpens, that harbors one ordinary planet and another so huge--17 times as massive as Jupiter--that nobody can quite figure out what it can be. It is, says Marcy, a bit frightening.

What s frightening is that these discoveries make it clear how little astronomers know about planets, and they add to the dawning realization that our solar system--and by implication Planet Earth--may be a cosmic oddball. For years theorists figured that other stars would have planets more or less like the ones going around the sun. But starting with the 1995 discovery of the first extrasolar planet--a gassy monster like Jupiter but orbiting seven times as close to its star as Mercury orbits around our sun--each new find has seemed stranger than the last. Searchers have found more hot Jupiters like that first discovery. These include huge planets that career around their stars not in circular orbits but in elongated ones; their gravity would send any Earthlike neighbors flying off into space. Says Princeton astronomer Scott Tremaine: Not a single prediction for what we d find in other systems has turned out to be correct.

一个遥远、超大的世界引起了宇宙的混乱

在遥远恒星周围发现行星已经变得像航天飞机发射一样——有新闻价值，但几乎没有。大约有50颗系外行星在它们的腰带下，天文学家们不得不宣布一些非常奇怪的事情来引起任何人的注意。

上周他们就这么做了。在圣地亚哥举行的美国天文学会半年一度的会议上，世界上首屈一指的行星搜寻团队——加州大学伯克利分校的天文学家杰弗里·马西和他的同事们——站在同事和记者面前，展示了两个非凡的发现，而不是一个。第一个是一对行星，每颗行星的质量约为木星，它们在距离地球15光年的主星周围完美地同步旋转。一个需要30天才能完成一个轨道，另一个则需要两倍的时间。从来没有人见过这样的配置。但第二个发现要奇怪得多——一个123光年外的太阳系，位于长蛇座，里面有一颗普通行星和另一颗巨大的行星，质量是木星的17倍，以至于没有人能完全弄清楚它是什么。Marcy说，这有点可怕。

令人恐惧的是，这些发现清楚地表明了天文学家对行星的了解是多么的少，它们让人们逐渐意识到，我们的.太阳系——以及地球——可能是一个宇宙怪人。多年来，理论家们认为其他恒星的行星或多或少都会像围绕太阳运行的行星。但从1995年发现第一颗太阳系外行星开始，每一个新发现似乎都比上一个更奇怪。搜索人员发现了更多像第一次发现那样的热木星。其中包括围绕恒星运行的巨大行星，它们不是以圆形轨道运行，而是以细长轨道运行；它们的引力会把任何类似地球的邻居送上太空。普林斯顿大学天文学家Scott Tremaine说：对于我们在其他系统中发现的东西，没有一个预测是正确的。

Microsoft planned to announce today that it will make its Windows Live Messenger service available on its Xbox 360 game consoles, bringing instant messaging from the computer to the television.

The move was meant to help Microsoft stay ahead of Sony, its chief rival in the electronic games business, in delivering the richest online experience for game players. It is also an element of Microsofts overall strategy to connect people across PCs, televisions and mobile devices like cellphones.

More than 200 million people use Windows Live Messenger to chat with friends, family members and colleagues. Separately, more than six million Xbox 360 owners are connected to the companys Xbox Live online community, an enhancement that lets people with broadband Internet connections communicate with one another.

In the second week of May, those two worlds will begin to converge. Xbox Live members will be able to link their gamertag ,the online identity they use within the Xbox community, to an existing Windows Live Messenger account. Players will then be able to chat with their instant messaging contacts using a virtual on screen keyboard or a USB keyboard plugged into the game machine.

Microsoft executives said they hoped to offer voice chat between Xbox and Live Messenger users later this year.

微软计划于今天宣布，将在其Xbox 360游戏机上提供Windows Live Messenger服务，将即时消息从电脑传送到电视。

此举旨在帮助微软在为游戏玩家提供最丰富的在线体验方面领先于其电子游戏业务的主要竞争对手索尼。这也是微软通过电脑、电视和手机等移动设备连接人们的整体战略的一个要素。

超过2亿人使用Windows Live Messenger与朋友、家人和同事聊天。另外，超过600万Xbox 360用户连接到该公司的Xbox Live在线社区，这是一种增强功能，可以让拥有宽带互联网连接的人相互交流。

在五月的第二周，这两个世界将开始交汇。Xbox Live成员将能够将他们的.玩家代号（他们在Xbox社区中使用的在线身份）链接到现有的Windows Live Messenger帐户。然后，玩家可以使用虚拟屏幕键盘或插入游戏机的USB键盘与即时消息联系人聊天。

微软高管表示，他们希望在今年晚些时候提供Xbox和Live Messenger用户之间的语音聊天。

Minority youths are more likely to face trial as adults

A WHITE KID SELLS A BAG OF E at his suburban high school. A Latino kid does the same in his inner-city neighborhood. Both get caught. Both are first-time offenders. The white kid walks into juvenile court with his parents, his priest, a good lawyer-and medical coverage. The Latino kid walks into court with his mom, no legal resources and no insurance. The judge lets the white kid go with his family; he s placed in a private treatment program. The minority kid has no such option. He s detained.

There, in a nutshell, is what happens more and more often in the juvenile-court system. Minority youths arrested on violent felony charges in California are more than twice as likely as their white counterparts to be transferred out of the juvenile-justice system and tried as adults, according to a study released last week by the Justice Policy Institute, a research center in San Francisco. Once they are in adult courts, young black offenders are 18 times more likely to be jailed-and Hispanics seven times more likely-than are young white offenders. Discrimination against kids of color accumulates at every stage of the justice system and skyrockets when juveniles are, tried as adults, says Dan Macallair, a co-author of the new study. California has a double standard: throw kids of color behind bars, but bilitate white kids who commit comparable crimes.

少数族裔青年成年后更有可能面临审判

一个白人孩子在郊区的高中卖一袋E。一个拉丁裔孩子在他市中心的社区也做同样的事。两人都被抓了。两人都是初犯。这个白人孩子带着他的父母、牧师、一位优秀的律师和医疗保险走进少年法庭。这个拉丁裔孩子和他的妈妈一起走进法庭，没有法律资源，也没有保险。法官让白人孩子和他的家人一起走；他被安排参加私人治疗项目。少数民族的孩子没有这样的选择。他被拘留了。

简而言之，这就是青少年法庭系统中越来越频繁发生的事情。旧金山研究中心司法政策研究所（justice Policy Institute）上周发布的一项研究显示，在加利福尼亚州因暴力重罪被捕的少数民族青少年被移出青少年司法系统并接受成年审判的可能性是白人青少年的两倍多。一旦进入成人法庭，年轻的黑人罪犯入狱的可能性是年轻白人罪犯的`18倍，西班牙裔罪犯入狱的概率是年轻白人的7倍。这项新研究的合著者Dan Macallair说，对有色人种儿童的歧视在司法系统的每个阶段都在积累，当青少年成年后受到审判时，歧视就会激增。加州有双重标准：把有色人种的孩子关进监狱，但要让犯下类似罪行的白人孩子改过自新。
