Run Through the Rain
雨中的奔跑
She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old,this beautiful brown haired,freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters,so much in a hurry to hit the Earth it has no time to flow down the spout.
她和妈妈刚从沃尔玛出来。这个小女孩一定已有6岁了,她有着一头漂亮的棕色头发,长着雀斑的脸上充满童真的表情。外面下着倾盆大雨。雨水溢满了檐糟,来不及排走,就迫不及待地涌向了大地。
We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited,some patiently,others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
我们都站在沃尔玛门口的遮篷下。大家在等待,有的人很耐心,也有人很烦躁,因为老天在给他们本已忙碌的一天添乱。雨天总能引起我的遐思。我出神地听着、看着老天洗刷冲走这世界的污垢和尘埃,孩提时无忧无虑地在雨中奔跑玩水的记忆汹涌而至,暂时缓解了我这一天的焦虑。
Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in,“Mom, lets run through the rain,”she said.
小女孩甜美的声音打破了这沉寂的.气氛,“妈妈,我们在雨里跑吧。”她说。
”What?”Mom asked.
“什么,”母亲问。
“Lets run through the rain !”She repeated.
“我们在雨里跑吧。”她重复道。
”No, honey, well wait until it slows down a bit,”Mom replied.
“不,亲爱的,我们等雨小一点再走。”母亲回答说。
This young child waited about another minute and repeated, “Mom, lets run through the rain.”
过了一会小女孩又说:“妈妈,我们跑出去吧。”
“Well get soaked if we do,”Mom said.
“这样的话我们会湿透的。”母亲说。
“No,we wont,Mom. Thats not what you said this morning,”the young girl said as she tugged at her Moms arm.
“不会的,妈妈。你今天早上不是这样说的。”小女孩一边说一边拽拽母亲的手。
”This morning,When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“今天早上?我什么时候说过我们不会被淋湿啊?”
“Dont you remember?When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,‘If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!’”
“你不记得了吗?你和爸爸谈他的癌症时,你不是说‘如果上帝让我们闯过这一关,那我们就没有什么过不去了。”’(编注:英文里through一词表示“躲过,通过”的意思。母亲讲可以避开一切,在小女孩看来自然也应该包括能避开雨,不被淋湿了。)
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldnt hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
人群一片寂静。我发誓,除了雨声,什么都听不到。我们都静静地站着。接下来的几分钟没有一个人走动。母亲停了一下,在想着应该说些什么。
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly.Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young childs life. Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. ”Honey, you are absolutely right. Lets run through the rain. If we get wet, well maybe we just needed washing,”Mom said. Then off they ran.
有人也许会对此一笑了之,或者责备孩子的不懂事。有人甚至不把她的话放在心上。但这却是一个小孩子一生中需要被肯定的时候。若受到鼓舞,此时孩子单纯的信任就会发展成为坚定的信念。“亲爱的,你说得对,我们跑过去吧。如果淋湿了,那也许是因为我们的确需要冲洗一下了。”母亲说完后,母女俩就冲向雨中。
We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing. Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions,they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, dont forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day !
我们站在那里,笑着看她们飞快地跑过停着的汽车。他们把购物袋高举过头想挡挡雨,但还是湿透了。好几个人也跟着冲了出去,奔向自己的车子。他们像孩子般尖叫着,大笑着。当然,我也这样做了,跑了出去,淋湿了。我也需要接受洗礼。环境或其他人可以夺去你的物质财富,抢走你的金钱,带走你的健康,但没有人可以带走你珍贵的回忆。因此,记得要抓紧时间,抓住机会每天都给自己留下一些回忆吧!
To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.
世间万物皆有自己的季节,做任何事情也有一个恰当的时机。希望你有机会也在雨中狂奔一回。
Stars on a Snowy Night
雨雪时候的星辰
Bing Xin
冰心
The thermometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero,but still chose to sleep in the porch as usual. In the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the sky. Though they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots,yet I had become so accustomed to them that their occasional absence would bring me loneliness and ennui.
寒暑表降到冰点下18度的时候,我们也是在廊下睡觉。每夜最熟识的就是天上的星辰了。也不过是点点闪烁的光明,而相看惯了,偶然不见,也有些想望与无聊。
It had been snowing all night, not a single scar in sight. My roommate and I,each wrapped in a quilt, were seated far apart in a different corner of the porch, facing each other and chatting away.
连夜雨雪,一点星光都看不见。荷和我拥衾对坐,在廊子的两角,遥遥谈话。
She exclaimed pointing to something afar, “Look, Venus in rising!”I looked up and saw nothing but a lamp round the bend in a mountain path. I beamed and said pointing to a tiny lamplight on the opposite mountain, ”Its Jupiter over there!”
荷指着说:“你看维纳斯(Venus)升起来了!”我抬头望时,却是山路转折处的路灯。我恰然一笑,也指着对山的一星灯火说:“那边是丘比特(Jupiter)呢!”
More and more lights came into sighs as we kept pointing here and there. Lights from hurricane lamps flickering about in the pine forest created the scene of a star-studded sky. With the distinction between sky and forest obscured by snowflakes, the numerous lamp-lights now easily passed for as many stars.
愈指愈多。松林中射来零乱的风灯,都成了满天星宿。真的,雪花隙里,看不出来天空和森林的界限,将繁灯当作繁星,简直是抵得过。
Completely lost in a make-believe world,I seemed to see all the lamplights drifting from the ground. With the illusory stars hanging still overhead, I was spared the effort of tracing their positions when l woke up from my dreams in the dead of night.
一念至诚的将假作真,灯光似乎都从地上飘起。这幻成的星光,都不移动,不必半夜梦醒时,再去追寻他们的位置。
Thus I found consolation even on a lonely snowy night!
于是雨雪寂寞之夜,也有了慰安了!

Kiss of Reality
To talk of illusions, aret they great? illusion or day dreaming help us to think of what we want to become in life. We literally see how life revolves us in that position . Its an entirely different world of pleasure, comfort and imagination. Most of our day dreaming or illusions make us more and more egocentric. The word ego means self . Hence by dreaming and visualization we become self-centered. We never realize that things we dream of can be achieved by us by programming ourselves to work for it . But somehow the pleasure of dreaming ourselves as someone important takes us away from the realistic approach to achieve that level of self-satisfaction and self-accomplishment.
幻想对于我们来说不美妙吗?在我们一生中,是幻想,或者是说,是白日梦,让我们去思考成为什么样的人。我们认真的观察我们的生命是循着怎样的一条轨道。那时严格完全不同的世界,它充满了愉悦\轻松和创意。我们的大多数幻想和白日梦会使得我们越来越以自我为中心。"EGO"这个词的意思是自我。由于幻想,我们变得以自我为中心。我们从未有意识到,我们所梦想的事情是可以通过我们周详的计划去实现的。但不知何故,幻想成为某个著名人物的愉悦,却使我们远离了能够与满意和成就真实接触的机会。
This leads to an increase in the frustration levels of our mind . Why frustrations? This is because what we are, and what we dream of are totally different . We raise ourselves to a very high pedestal and we see that we are not able to live up to our expectations. And when this happens, we become mentally restless.
无边际的幻想导致我们挫折感越来越强。为什么会这样?那是因为现实中的我们和幻想中的我们完全不同。我们把自己提到一个很高的层面,但实际上,我们根本不可能心如所愿。而每每想到这,我们便会焦虑不按。
The vital solution that will dissolve all our problems is to make up our minds to get realistic . This approach will make us come in terms with reality. And there is no better road to self-improvement rather than the path of reality. When you gauge yourself , you subconsciously make two columns in your mind. One consists of the things that you are good at ,and the other consists of the ares where you can improve. And believe it will boost us to work on our weak areas and strengthen them. Fortifying your weak areas will harness your conscience and improve you convert would be to must be. And when someting must happen, it always happens. This new you will improve you for the better and increase your levels of self-esteem.It will change your outlook to things.
要想解决所有的这些问题,我们必须让自己变得现实些,这样将使得我们接触现实。没有比了解实际情况更能够提高我们自己的了。当你评价你自己的时候,在我们脑海中,会下意识的用两种不同的方式。一种包括我们所擅长的方面,另一种则是我们能够有所改进的。相信我这是一个好的开始,它将促使我们不断的改进\完善自我。这就像给我们的`良知套上了缰绳,使我们的不足的方面得到改善,提高我们的自信。有了自信,我们就会收获我们想要的结果。当某些事情要发生的时候,它总会发生的。崭新的,充满自信的我们又会促进我们的发展,并且提高我们的自信心。这将会改变我们对事物的看法。
I would like to type the thoughts that have just sprung up in my mind. Read and ponder on each line.I admit that its a sad aim at poetry, but I am allowing my mind to control my typing.
我喜欢把那些从我大脑里跳出来的每一个想法记录下来。我静静的读并且认真思考每一行,我承认它也许不是一首好诗,但是,我可以说,我记录下来的都是我思想的每一个微粒。

I hope this conveys my thoughts with clarity.So its some advice and suggestion to all those eyeballs running through this part of the book, to keep their heads on their shoulders without using heads and shoulders! And believe me guys; you guys have it in you to make it big . Just dont let that teenage iconoclastic habit rule over sense.

我要的坚强,不是谁的肩膀;我要的飞翔,不是借双翅膀。 ——题记
对于一个九零后的我,有太多的地方值得检讨。总是以主张、叛逆、品质、伤感、颓废为中心而生活。总认为自己是天之骄子,每天拿着手机发呆,反反复复做着同样的事,听着伤感的歌曲,想着心里的某某,有时感到孤独感在心地蔓延。是否还挺享受那样的感受,这就是我选择的生活方式。自认为很张扬个性的生活,只是把自己更带进了多愁的深渊,
与同龄的伙伴,争吵着寻找幸福,可是所谓的幸福是什么?就是像我这样的人,身在福中不知福,跟亲人们叫嚣着、放肆着、叛逆着;总认为父母不理解自己,不支持自己。好像有很深的代沟,感觉自己就像活在无间炼狱里一样,一味的憧憬美好的未来,幻想以后就可以怎么怎么了,摆脱他们了,就可以自由飞翔了,但是现在什么都依靠着他们,怎么可能摆脱他们呢。至亲至爱的人是不可能割舍的,即使是争吵,各执己见,但父母与子女哪有隔夜仇,事后,依然相亲相爱,这就是血浓于水啊!
在生活中,总以为漂亮的转身是性的张扬,和朋友发生矛盾了,任委屈的眼泪放肆的流,不让

At this time of year, few sights evoke more feelings of cheer and goodwill than the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree.每年此时,没有什么情景比一棵圣诞树上闪烁的灯光更让人感到欢乐祥和。

I was in the Santa Cruz Mountains not long ago, speaking and singing at a women's conference. We were focusing on the theme of loving others in practical ways through our gifts, and something in particular happened during one of the sessions that will remain imprinted in my memory as a beautiful illustration of this practice.
