When times become difficult (and you know they sometimes will), remember a moment in your life that was filled with joy and happiness. Remember how it made you feel, and you will have the strength you need to get through any trial. When life throws you one more obstacle than you think you can handle, remember something you achieved through perseverance and by struggling to the end. In doing so, you'll find you have the ability to overcome each obstacle brought your way. When you find yourself drained and depleted of energy, remember to find a place of sanctuary and rest. Take the necessary time in your own life to dream your dreams and renew your energy, so you'll be ready to face each new day. When you feel tension building, find something fun to do. You'll find that the stress you feel will dissipate and your thoughts will become clearer. You're listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I'm Faith. When you're faced with so many negative and draining situations, realize how minuscule problems will seem when you view your life as a whole--and remember the positive things. 當你身陷困境的時候(你有時會),回想你生命中快樂和幸福的時刻。回想它是如何使你快樂,你便有了走出困境的勇氣。 當面對重重困難,你感覺舉步維艱的時候,回想你以前是如何堅持到底戰勝困難的最後時刻的。這樣,你就會發現你有能力克服每個障礙。 當你覺得精疲力盡的時候,暫時離開,讓自己稍作休息。 從你的生活中多抽出點時間去夢想,重振你的精力,你會完全准備好又去迎接新的一天。 當你感覺到緊張的壓力,做一些有樂趣的事吧。你會發現壓力在漸漸消逝,你的想法也漸漸明朗了。 這里是Faith主持的Faith輕松電台節目。當你面對重重困難的時候,要意識到相對於你的整個生命,這些難題其實是微不足道的,請銘記你生命中美好的東西。 henry david thoreau(熱愛生活 ) however mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.it is not so bad as you are.it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in paradise.love your life,poor as it is.you may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.i do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.the town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.may be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,turn the old,return to them.things do not change;we change.sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. 翻譯:不論你的生活如何卑賤,你要面對它生活,不要躲避它,更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的時候,倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點。你要愛你的生活,盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院里,你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上,像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮;在那門前,積雪同在早春融化。我只看到,一個從容的人,在哪裡也像在皇宮中一樣,生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。城鎮中的窮人,我看,倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。也許因為他們很偉大,所以受之無愧。大多數人以為他們是超然的,不靠城鎮來支援他們;可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當的手段來對付生活,他們是毫不超脫的,毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像聖人一樣耕植它吧!不要找新的花樣,無論是新的朋友或新的衣服,來麻煩你自己。找舊的,回到那裡去。萬物不變,是我們在變。你的衣服可以賣掉,但要保留你的思想。 the life i desired 我所追求的生活 that must be the story of innumerable couples,and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace.it 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 uneasiness.perhaps 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 course.there seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.in 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. 這一定是世間無數對夫妻的生活寫照,這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。它使人想起一條平靜的溪流,蜿蜒暢游過綠茵的草場,濃蔭遮蔽,最後注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海;但是大海太過平靜,太過沉默,太過不動聲色,你會突然感到莫名的不安。也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法,在那樣的時代,這想法對我影響很深:我覺得這像大多數人一樣的生活,似乎欠缺了一點兒什麼。我承認這種生活有社會價值,我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福,但我血液里的沖動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程.這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西.我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活。只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激,我願意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖,奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘 bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail! 向遠方的美景歡呼! -and see no end to the landscape,new objects presenting themselves as we advance;so,in the commencement of life,we set no bounds to our inclinations.nor to the unrestricted opportunities of grastifying them.we have as yet found no obstacle,no disposition to flag;and it seems that we can go on so forever.we look round in a new world,full of life,and motion,and ceaseless progress;and feel in ourselves all the vigour and spirit to keep pace with it,and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things,decline into old age,and drop into the grave.it is the simplicity,and as it were abstractedness of our feelings in youth,that(so to speak)identifies us with nature ,and(our experience being slight and our passions strong)deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it.our short-lives connexion with existence we fondly flatter ourselves,is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness,jar,nor separation.as infants smile and sleep,we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies,and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it,instead of which it only overflows the more-objects press around us,filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them,so that we have no room for the thoughts of death. 此時,但覺好風光應接不暇,而且,前程更有美不勝收的新鮮景緻。在這生活的開端,我們聽任自己的志趣馳騁,放手給它們一切滿足的機會。到此為止,我們還沒有碰上過什麼障礙,也沒有感覺到什麼疲憊,因此覺得還可以一直這樣向前走去,直到永遠。我們看到四周一派新天地——生機盎然,變動不居,日新月異;我們覺得自己活力充盈,精神飽滿,可與宇宙並駕齊驅。而且,眼前也無任何跡象可以證明,在大自然的發展過程中,我們自己也會落伍,衰老,進入墳墓。由於年輕人天真單純,可以說是茫然無知,因而將自己跟大自然劃上等號;並且,由於經驗少而感情盛,誤以為自己也能和大自然一樣永世長存。我們一廂情願,痴心妄想,竟把自己在世上的暫時棲身,當作千古不變、萬事長存的結合,好像沒有冷淡、爭執、離別的密月。像嬰兒帶著微笑入睡,我們躺在用自己編織成的搖籃里,讓大千世界的萬籟之聲催哄我們安然入夢;我們急切切,興沖沖地暢飲生命之杯,怎麼也不會飲干,反而好像永遠是滿滿欲溢;森羅萬象紛至沓來,各種慾望隨之而生,使我們騰不出工夫想死亡。 the country maid and her milk can 村姑和牛奶罐 a country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head,when she fell into the following train of reflections."the money for which i shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred,these eggs,allowing for what may prove addle,and what may be destroyed by vermin,will proce at least two hundred and fifty chickens.the chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry is always dear;so that by the new year i cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown.green-let me consider-yes,green becomes my complexion best .and green it shall be, in this dress i will go to the fair,where all young fellows will strive to have me for a parter;but no-i shall refuse every one of them,and with a disdainful toss turn from them." transported with this idea,she could not forbear acting with her head the thought that passed in her mind,when down came the can of milk!and all her imaginary happiness vanished in a moment. 一個村姑頭上頂著一罐牛奶在路上行走。走著走著,她的腦子里浮現出一連串的幻想:「我賣了這罐牛奶後,用這筆錢買雞蛋,這樣我有的雞蛋可以增加到300個。用這300個雞蛋孵小雞,這就算有壞的、生蟲的,至少也能孵出250隻小雞。等小雞長大後,正好能趕上賣個好市價;那麼到了新年,我就能有錢買一件新晚裝。買一件綠色的——讓我好好想想——對,綠色與我的膚色最相襯。我穿上這件衣服去趕集,所有的年輕小夥子都會搶著邀請我做舞伴;但是不行——我要輕蔑地把頭一揚,轉身過去不理他們,讓他們人人都碰個釘子。 她想得得意忘形,情不自禁地把頭一揚,剎那間,牛奶罐跌了下來!她幻想的一切幸福間破滅了

1、If not to the sun for smiling, warm is still in the sun there, but wewill laugh more confident calm; if turned to found his own shadow, appropriate escape, the sun will be through the heart,warm each place behind the corner; if an outstretched palm cannot fall butterfly, then clenched waving arms, given power; if I can't have bright smile, it will face to the sunshine, and sunshine smile together, in full bloom.
譯文:如果不向太陽索取微笑,溫暖仍在太陽那裡,但我們會笑得更加自信從容;如果轉過身去發現了自己的影子,適當的躲讓,陽光便可穿越心靈,溫暖每一處身後的角落;如果攤開的掌心不能點落蝴蝶,那就緊握成拳揮動臂膀,給予力量;如果我不能夠微笑得燦爛,那就將臉投向燦爛的陽光,與陽光一起微笑,爛漫。
2、When you love who you are,you become a conit of light.Just drop into your heart space,and live life from this view.For all of this doingis not who you are.Listen to your heart』s soft whisper,this voice will show you the way.Live life from your essenceis what she will say.See the light in yourself,and your world will be bright.There is no need to worry,you are exactly as you should be;remember to love who you are,and love you will see.
譯文:當你愛自己的時候,你會成為一道光。只需觸及心房,並遵循本心來生活。做這一切無關你是誰。聆聽內心輕柔的呢喃,她會告訴你方法。遵循本性來生活她會這樣告訴你。欣賞自身的光芒,你的世界都會變得明亮。沒必要擔心,你正是自己本來的模樣;記得愛自己,愛自己欣賞的一切。
3、Occasionally, life can be undeniably, impossibly difficult. We are faced with challenges and events that can seem overwhelming, life-destroying to the point where it may be hard to decide whether to keep going. But you always have a choice. Jessica Heslop shares her powerful, inspiring journey from the worst times in her life to the new life she has created for herself.

4、So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.
譯文:想像一下你就是這個木匠,想像你正在建造這座房子,你每天釘進一顆釘子、安裝一塊板子或者築起一面牆。請用心對待吧,這是唯一一個你為自己打造的生活。即使你只在裡面住上一天,這一天也要活得有光彩、有尊嚴。正如格言所說,「生活是一個只有靠自己才能完成的項目。」
5、Time is like a river, the left bank is unable to forget the memories, right is worth grasp the youth, the middle of the fast flowing, is the sad young faint. There are many good things, buttruly belong to own but not much. See the courthouse blossom,honor or disgrace not Jing, hope heaven Yunjuanyunshu, has no intention to stay. In this round the world, all can learn to use a normal heart to treat all around, is also a kind of realm!
譯文:歲月就象一條河,左岸是無法忘卻的回憶,右岸是值得把握的青春年華,中間飛快流淌的,是年輕隱隱的傷感.世間有許多美好的東西,但真正屬於自己的卻並不多.看庭前花開花落,榮辱不驚,望天上雲卷雲舒,去留無意.在這個紛繞的世界裡,能夠學會用一顆平常的心去對待周圍的一切,也是一種境界!
6、People always confuse about the meaning of happiness, they don』t know how to define it. Some people think that when one has the successful career or does something that makes contribution to the society is the happiness. It is common that great acts are admired by the public and people are easy to feel the happiness. While in my opinion, happiness is very easy to achieve. When I stay with my family, we have the nice talk and I feel very happy. When I eat the delicious food that is cooked by my mother, I feel moved and happy. Happiness is around everywhere, we can feel it if we treat it right.
譯文:人們總是混淆幸福的含義,他們不知道如何定義幸福。有些人認為,當一個人有了成功的事業或做了對社會有所貢獻的事情時,那就是幸福。人們很欣賞偉大的行為,人們很容易感到幸福。在我看來,幸福是很容易實現的。當我和家人在一起時,我們的談話很愉快,我感到非常高興。當我吃媽媽做的美味的食物時,我感到很開心。幸福無處不在,只要我們善待它,我們就能感受到幸福。
7、When I am making mistakes, my parents will never be angry with me. I am so thankful to them for they are so tolerant with me. I learn many things from my parents, they show me how to be a tolerant person. They will not blame me for the small mistake that I make, instead, they will ecate me in the gentle way. Unlike some parents who are strict to their kids, they will be very angry and said the hurting words, making the children feel sad. Being tolerant to other people』s mistakes is the best way to solve the problem. People will appreciate the kind act and make things goes on the easy way.
譯文:當我犯錯誤的時候,我的父母永遠不會生我的氣。我非常感謝他們,因為他們對我很寬容。我從父母那裡學到很多東西,他們教我如何成為一個寬容的人。他們不會因為我犯的一個小錯誤而責備我,相反,他們會以溫和的方式教育我。不像一些對孩子要求嚴格的父母,他們會很生氣,說那些傷人的話,讓孩子們感到悲傷。寬容別人的錯誤是解決問題的最好辦法。人們會欣賞這種善舉,讓事情變得簡單。
8、Sometimes you dream to be a kind of happiness, sometimes the dream is also a kind of happiness; sometimes is a kind of happiness, sometimes the loss is also a kind of happiness;sometimes success is a kind of happiness, sometimes failure is also a kind of happiness. Sometimes the rich is a kind of happiness, sometimes poverty is also a kind of happiness. "Not happy" today, now can not be "happy", while it may be tomorrow or later become "happiness"!
譯文:有時你的夢想達到是一種幸福,有時夢想破滅也是一種幸福;有時得到是一種幸福,有時失去也是一種幸福;有時成功是一種幸福,有時失敗也是一種幸福.有時富有是一種幸福,有時貧窮也是一種幸福.「不幸福」今天或者現在不能成為「幸福」,而明天或者以後卻可能變成「幸福」!

YOUTH
By Samuel Ullman 塞繆爾·厄爾曼
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not amatter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of thewill, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is thefreshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often existsin a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by anumber of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles thesoul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the springback to st.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being』s heart the lure ofwonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what』s next and the joy ofthe game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is awireless
station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer,courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows ofcynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20,but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, thereis hope you may die young at 80.

A group of frogs was traveling through the woods and two of themfell into a deep pit. Immediately, all the other frogs in the groupgathered around the pit and watched as the imprisoned frogs tried tojump out. The frogs on top could see that the pit was very deep and itlooked as if there was no way out, so they started yelling at the twofrogs in the pit to give up. "The pit is too deep. You're as good asdead," the chorus of frogs said. When the trapped frogs kept trying,the crowd yelled louder, "Give up. You're as good as dead." After awhile, one of the exhausted frogs took heed to what the others weresaying, and fell down and died.
But amazingly, the second frog kept jumping as hard as she coulddespite the negative remarks of those that kept yelling at her toaccept the inevitable and just die. Finally, with one valiant leap, shemade it out of the pit!
This amazing result occurred because the second frog was deaf annable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they hadbeen cheering her on the entire time they were yelling! What she hadmistakenly perceived as encouragement inspired her to try harder andsucceed against all odds. And that made all the difference!
With a positive mindset, and being deaf to others' opinions, thesecond frog made use of such negativity to overcome obstacles and reachher goals by using it as encouragement, instead of being influenced byothers like the first frog, who failed to develop her potential tostrive for survival. Thus, when we surmount others' criticism, ridiculeor cynical comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just asthe second frog did. But, if we are not deaf like this frog, who couldnot be influenced by others e to a physical condition, we need the Wisdom to guide us to the proper way, so as not to be blindly guided byworldly opinion.

On the way home, Mathilde found that the necklace was gone. She was frightened to death because it was too expensive for her. She and her husband hurriedly returned and looked wherever she had been that night, but couldn』t find it at all.
What would they do? They had to buy a diamond necklace exactly like the one she borrowed from Jeanne and returned it to her. It cost them 36,000 francs.
In order to pay off the debts, they suffered hunger and cold day and night. Ten years of hard work made young Mathilde so old that Jeanne could hardly recognize her when they happened to meet one day in a park. It was then that Mathilde found out the truth: the necklace she had borrowed from Jeanne was not a real diamond necklace. It was made of glass and cost only 500 francs at most!

I was walking along the street when a stranger stopped me and asked me the way to a new restaurant. I answered and told him the route and direction carefully. As soon as I finished, the stranger thanked me and started off. To my surprise, he went in wrong direction. Then I stopped him at once and told him what wrong he had made. Unexpectedly, he smiled and told me the truth that he didn』t really want to ask the way, but, instead, he was just trying to know whether everyone knew exactly where the new restaurant was, for he was the new owner of the restaurant. Then I knew who he was and what he wanted to do.

On the way home we kept on singing up, because we』ve done a good thing to make our homeland green.

One day three men got a bottle of wine. But the wine was not enough for the three and each of them wanted to drink the wine alone. Then they all agreed that they each would draw a snake on the ground and the one who first finished drawing would be given the wine. So they began to draw on the ground with sticks.
It was not long before one of the three finished drawing his snake. He took up the bottle of wine with pride. He was about to drink when he found the other two were still busy with their drawings. 「How slow you are!」 said he, 「I can even add feet to my snake before you finish yours.」
He put down the bottle and began to add feet to his snake. But before he inished, another man took hold of the bettle and said,「I』ve finished. Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a snake.」With these words he drank up the wine.

譯文:歲月就象一條河,左岸是無法忘卻的回憶,右岸是值得把握的青春年華,中間飛快流淌的,是年輕隱隱的傷感.世間有許多美好的東西,但真正屬於自己的卻並不多.看庭前花開花落,榮辱不驚,望天上雲卷雲舒,去留無意.在這個紛繞的世界裡,能夠學會用一顆平常的心去對待周圍的一切,也是一種境界!
6、People always confuse about the meaning of happiness, they don』t know how to define it. Some people think that when one has the successful career or does something that makes contribution to the society is the happiness. It is common that great acts are admired by the public and people are easy to feel the happiness. While in my opinion, happiness is very easy to achieve. When I stay with my family, we have the nice talk and I feel very happy. When I eat the delicious food that is cooked by my mother, I feel moved and happy. Happiness is around everywhere, we can feel it if we treat it right.
譯文:人們總是混淆幸福的含義,他們不知道如何定義幸福。有些人認為,當一個人有了成功的事業或做了對社會有所貢獻的事情時,那就是幸福。人們很欣賞偉大的行為,人們很容易感到幸福。在我看來,幸福是很容易實現的。當我和家人在一起時,我們的談話很愉快,我感到非常高興。當我吃媽媽做的美味的食物時,我感到很開心。幸福無處不在,只要我們善待它,我們就能感受到幸福。
7、When I am making mistakes, my parents will never be angry with me. I am so thankful to them for they are so tolerant with me. I learn many things from my parents, they show me how to be a tolerant person. They will not blame me for the small mistake that I make, instead, they will ecate me in the gentle way. Unlike some parents who are strict to their kids, they will be very angry and said the hurting words, making the children feel sad. Being tolerant to other people』s mistakes is the best way to solve the problem. People will appreciate the kind act and make things goes on the easy way.
譯文:當我犯錯誤的時候,我的父母永遠不會生我的氣。我非常感謝他們,因為他們對我很寬容。我從父母那裡學到很多東西,他們教我如何成為一個寬容的人。他們不會因為我犯的一個小錯誤而責備我,相反,他們會以溫和的方式教育我。不像一些對孩子要求嚴格的父母,他們會很生氣,說那些傷人的話,讓孩子們感到悲傷。寬容別人的錯誤是解決問題的最好辦法。人們會欣賞這種善舉,讓事情變得簡單。
8、Sometimes you dream to be a kind of happiness, sometimes the dream is also a kind of happiness; sometimes is a kind of happiness, sometimes the loss is also a kind of happiness;sometimes success is a kind of happiness, sometimes failure is also a kind of happiness. Sometimes the rich is a kind of happiness, sometimes poverty is also a kind of happiness. "Not happy" today, now can not be "happy", while it may be tomorrow or later become "happiness"!
譯文:有時你的夢想達到是一種幸福,有時夢想破滅也是一種幸福;有時得到是一種幸福,有時失去也是一種幸福;有時成功是一種幸福,有時失敗也是一種幸福.有時富有是一種幸福,有時貧窮也是一種幸福.「不幸福」今天或者現在不能成為「幸福」,而明天或者以後卻可能變成「幸福」!

Right Beside You 身邊總有你
The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the young woman with the white cane made her way1 carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and then, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, settled in to one. She placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg.
It had been a year since Susan, thirty-four, became blind. As the result of a medical accident she was sightless, suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. All she had to cling to2 was her husband Mark.
Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and he became determined to use every means possible to help his wife.
Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but she was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to ride the bus with Susan each morning and evening until she got the hang of3 it. And that is exactly what happened.
For two weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to4 her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.
Each morning they made the journey together, and Mark would take a taxi back to his office. Although that meant he had to travel through the city and the routine was costly and exhausting, Mark knew it was only a matter of① time before Susan would be able to ride the bus on her own. He believed in her.
Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived. Before she left, she embraced her husband tightly. Her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his patience, and his love. She said good-bye and, for the first time, they went their separate ways. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Each day on her own went perfectly, and a wild gaiety5 took hold of Susan. She was doing it! She was going to work all by herself!
On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was exiting the bus, the driver said, 「Miss, I sure envy you.」 Curious, Susan asked the driver why.
「You know, every morning for the past week, a fine looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you when you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches you until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a salute6 and walks away. You are one lucky lady,」 the bus driver said.
Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks. She was so lucky for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight, a gift she didn't need to see to believe—the gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness.
當這個手持白杖的年輕女子小心翼翼地上車時,車上的乘客都向她投去憐憫的目光。她向司機付了車費之後,雙手摸索著座位,然後坐好,把公文包放在膝蓋上,手杖靠著腿。
34歲的蘇珊失明已有一年了。一起醫療事故奪去了她的視力,她頓時陷入黑暗之中,內心充滿憤怒、沮喪,還有顧影自憐,而她可以依靠的只有她的丈夫馬克了。
馬克是名空軍軍官,他深愛著蘇珊。蘇珊失明的頭些日子,他眼睜睜地看著妻子陷入絕望,心裡打定主意,要盡一切辦法幫助她。
蘇珊終於願意重返工作崗位了。可她怎麼去上班呢?以前都是乘公交車去的,但是她現在很害怕,自己一個人不敢在城裡轉。於是馬克自告奮勇早晚坐公車接送,直到她可以一個人應付。這就是事情的經過。
整整兩周,馬克每天都一身戎裝,陪著蘇珊一起上下班,教她怎麼憑借其他感官,尤其是聽覺,判斷她所處的位置,以及如何適應新的環境。他還幫她與司機交好,這樣司機能照顧她,並給她留個座位。
每天早上,他們都一起同行,然後馬克再乘計程車回去上班。盡管馬克得穿過整座城市,而且疲憊不堪,又花費不菲,但是他堅信蘇珊一定能獨立乘車的,只是時間問題。
最後,蘇珊決定自己獨自坐車上班。星期一上午,臨行前,她緊緊地擁抱著自己的丈夫,眼裡蓄滿了感激的淚水,感謝他的忠誠,他的耐心,還有他的愛。她向他道了別,他們第一次朝著不同的方向走去。周一、周二、周三、周四……每天她的獨行之旅都很順利,蘇珊感到一陣狂喜。她成功了!她真的能一個人去上班了!
周五早上,蘇珊照常乘公共汽車去上班。就要下車了,司機說:「小姐,我真羨慕你啊。」蘇珊感到很奇怪,便問司機為什麼。
「是這樣的,上星期,每天早上都有一個儀表堂堂穿著軍裝的男士一直站在拐彎處看著你下車,看著你安全地穿過街道,又看著你走進辦公樓,他向你飛一個吻,沖你行個禮,然後才動身離去。你真是個幸運的姑娘啊!」 司機說。
蘇珊的臉上流下幸福的淚水。她是幸運的,因為馬克給了她比視力更珍貴的禮物,一份她不需要看就能體會到的禮物——這就是愛的禮物,它能給黑暗帶來光明。

『捌』 寫一篇英文不少於100字的關於人文和社會科學能給我們什麼啟示的文章
和諧復的社會能給人美的享制受和物質的滿足,人們過著溫暖和質感的生活;人們的價值得到承認,智慧得到嘉獎,尊嚴得到尊重,痛苦和責任得到理解和分擔;和諧的社會應有一雙大手,扶起跌倒的老人,拭乾受挫者的眼淚,撫慰失落者的心靈,給成功的人以掌聲,為迷茫的人指明方向。和諧的社會更需要鋼筋水泥,架起貫徹長天的虹橋,築就一座座人類文明發展的里程碑,讓高樓拔地而起,讓夢想奔向宇宙。這就需要人文來支撐人們的精神價值體系,用科學奠定實生活的基礎。
回望中國五千年的綿綉歷史,鐵馬冰河攪亂了多少文人武士的清夢,關塞明月寄託了多少成功戰士思家的情懷。尤其是近代以來,帝國主義對中國的侵略,中國如同棄擲於碾盤之中,受盡磨礪。然而中國並沒有被打倒,至今仍雄踞一方。是什麼讓他堅韌如斯,得以長存?是中華民族五千年來的文化積淀,是中華民族的錚錚傲骨,這如一層柔韌的襁褓,呵護著中國度過一個個充斥著凄風苦雨的黑夜。燦爛的文明,是中國捧出的絢麗的珍珠,這珍珠顆顆都是風雨磨礪的結晶。文化支撐著一個古老文明的延續,在延續中文化得充實。正是文化喚醒了人們「天下興亡,匹夫有責」的意識,激發了戰士們同仇故愾,祝死如歸的鬥志。
