multiples-爱真的需要勇气来面对流言蜚语
Discovery by Diane Ackerman
The word “discovery” literally means,
uncovering something that’s
hidden from
view. But what really happens is a change in the
viewer. The
familiar
offers
comfort
few
can
resist,
and
fewer
still
want
to
disturb.
But
as
relatively
recent
inventions
such
as
the
telescope
and
microscope
have taught us, the unknown has many
layers. Every truth has geological
strata, and you can’t have an orthodoxy
without a heresy. The moment a
newborn
opens
its
eyes,
discovery
begins.
I
learned
this
with
a
laugh
one
morning after delivering
a calf. When it lifted up its fluffy head and
looked at me, its
eyes held
the
absolute bewilderment of
the newly born.
A moment before it had
the even black nowhere of the womb, and suddenly
its
world
was
full
of
colour,
movement
and
noise.
I’ve
never
seen
anything
so
shocked to be alive.

“发现”一词,
字面上是指揭开某种视线以
外的隐藏的事物。
不过其实是观察者
自身发生了变化。
很少人能抗拒熟悉事物带来的舒适,
愿意扰乱这种舒适的人更
少。然而,正如望远镜、显微镜这些较为近期的发明所揭示给我们的,求知事物
具有多种层次。
每个事实都有地质层次,
没有异端也就无所
谓正统。
新生儿睁开
双眼的那一刻起,
发现也就开始了。
我是在一天清晨给一头小牛犊接生的时候突
然
意识到这一点的,
不禁大笑。
小牛仰起毛茸茸的脑袋看着我,<
/p>
目光中透出这个
新生命对世界的一无所知。片刻这前,它还呆在母
体里某个黑暗而平静的地方,
突然,
它的世界变得五光十色,<
/p>
变得活泼而喧闹。
我从未见过任何东西在获得生
< br>命时是如些的惊异。
The Rainy Day by Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow
The
day is cold,and dark,and dreary;
It
rains,and the wind is never weary;
The
vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead
leaves fall,
And the day is dark and
dreary.
My life is cold and dark and
dreary;
It rains and the wind is never
weary;
My though still cling to the
moldering past,
But the hopes of youth
fall thick in the blast,
And the days
are dark and dreary.
Be still,sad
heart!And cease repining;
Behind the
clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy
fate is the common fate of all,
Into
each life some rain must fall,
Some
days must be dark and dreary.

天冷、阴暗、沉闷;
下着雨,风也刮个不停;
藤还攀附着颓垣残壁,
每来一阵狂风,枯叶附落纷纷,
天真是阴暗而沉闷。
我的生活寒冷、阴郁、沉闷;
下着雨,风也刮个不停;
我的思想还纠缠着消逝的往事,
大风里,我的青春希望相继熄灭,
天真是阴暗而沉闷。
安静吧,忧伤的心!别再悔恨;
乌云后面太阳依然辉煌灿烂;
你命运和大家的一样,
每个人一生都得逢上阴雨,
有些日子必然阴暗而沉闷。
真正的朋友是一个可以援手帮助并感动你心扉的人。
别人常常伤害你,所以你该继续付出信任,并小心挑选你下次信任的人。
A
true
friend
is
someone
who
reaches
for
your
hand
and
touches
your
heart.
There's always going to be people that
hurt you,so what you have to do
is
keep
on
trusting
and
just
be
more
careful
about
who
you
trust
next
time
around.
Make
youself
a
better
person
and
know
who
you
are
before
you
try
and
know
someone
else and expect them to know you.
Remember:Whatever happens,happens for a
reason.
How
many
people
actually
have
8
true
friends?Hardly
anyone
I
some
of us have all right friends and good
friends.
真正的朋友是一个可以援手帮助并感动你心扉的人。
别人常常伤害你,所以你该继续付出信任,并小心挑选你下次信任的人。
在你想了解别人也想让别人了解你之前,先完善并了解自己。
要记住:任何事情的发生都有因有起。
有多少人可以拥有八个真正的朋友?就我所知少之又少。
但我们会有泛泛之交和
好友。
我们失去的一切都能得到补偿,我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰;
可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝,它带走了我们心中的某种美好,从此一去不复返。
The
Flight of Youth by Richard Henry
Stoddard
There are gains for
all our losses.
There are balms for
all our pain;
But when
youth,the dream,departs
It takes
something from our hearts,
And it
never comes again.
We are stronger,
and are better,
Under manhood’s
sterner reign;
Still we
feel that something sweet
Following
youth, with flying feet,
And will
never come again.
Something beautiful
is vanished,
And we sigh for it in
vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth, and in the air,
But it never comes again!

我们失去的一切都能得到补偿,
我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰;
可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝,
它带走了我们心中的某种美好,
从此一去不复返。
我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美,
在严峻的成年生活驱使下;
可是依然感到甜美的情感,
已随着青春飞逝,
不再返回。
美好已经消逝,
我们枉自为此叹息;
尽管在天地之间,
我们处处能见青春的魅力,
可是它不再返回!
请别用哀伤的诗句对我讲:
人生呵,
无非是虚梦一场!
因为沉睡的灵魂如死一般,
< br>事物的表里并不一样。
A Psalm of Life by Herry
Wadsworth Longfellow
Tell me
not in mournful numbers,
Life is but
an empty dream!
For the soul is dead
that slumbers
And things are not what
they seem.
Life is real! Life is
earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art , to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment , and not sorrow,
Is our destined and our way;
But to act,
That much to-
morrow.
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long , and time is fleeting.
And our hearts , though stout and
brave.
Still , like muffled drums ,
are beating
Funeral marches to the
grave
。
In the
world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be
not like dumb,driven cattle!
Be a hero
in the strife!
Trust no ’er
pleasant!
Let the dead Past
bury its dead!
Act,act in the living
Present!
Let us,then,be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving,still pursuing
Learn to labour and to wait.

请别用哀伤的诗句对我讲;
人生呵,无非是虚梦一场!
因为沉睡的灵魂如死一般,
事物的表里并不一样。
人生是实在的!人生是热烈的!
人生的目标决不是坟墓;
你是尘土,应归于尘土。
此话指的并不是我们的精神。
我们的归宿并不是快乐,
也不是悲伤,
实干才是我们的道路,
每天不断前进,蒸蒸蒸日上。
光阴易逝,而艺海无涯,
我们的心哪——虽然勇敢坚强,
却像被布蒙住的铜鼓,
常把殡葬的哀乐擂响。
在这人生的宿营地,
在这辽阔的世界战场,
别做无言的牲畜任人驱赶,
做一名英雄汉立马横枪!
别相信未来,哪怕未来多么欢乐!
让死去的往昔将死亡一切埋葬!
上帝在上,我们胸怀勇气,
让我们起来干吧,
下定决心,不管遭遇怎样;
不断胜利,不断追求,
要学会苦干和耐心等待。
找一个你爱聊的人结婚;
因为年纪大
了后,
你会发觉喜欢聊天是一个人最大的优
点;
过一种高尚而诚实的生活。当你年老时回想起过去,你就能再一次享受人生。
