譯文

有時(shí)候，我真的懷疑是否有我的父母之間的愛情。他們每天都非常忙于賺錢，為了支付高昂的學(xué)費(fèi)我和弟弟。他們不采取行動(dòng)，我在書中讀到，或在電視中看到的那樣互訴衷腸。他們認(rèn)為， “我愛你”太奢侈，很難說出口。在情人節(jié)送一束花給對(duì)方更是無從談起。最后我父親的脾氣非常壞。當(dāng)他從艱苦的工作很累，很容易讓他失去了他的脾氣。

有一天，母親正在縫被子。我靜靜地坐在她旁邊看著她。 “媽媽，我有一個(gè)問題要問你，”我一會(huì)兒后說。 “什么？”她回答說，還在做她的工作。 “有你和爸爸之間的愛情嗎？ ”我在一個(gè)非常低的聲音問她。我的母親突然停下了手中的工作，在她的眼里抬起頭驚訝。她沒有立即作答。然后低下頭，繼續(xù)縫被子。我很擔(dān)心，因?yàn)槲乙詾槲乙呀?jīng)傷害了她。我是在一個(gè)非常尷尬，我不知道我應(yīng)該做的。不過，后來我聽見母親說了下面的話。

“蘇珊， ”她若有所思地說， “看看這個(gè)線程有時(shí)看得見，但是大多數(shù)都隱藏在被子里這些線使被子堅(jiān)固耐用如果。生活就像一床被子，那么愛就是其中的線。你不可能隨時(shí)隨地看到它，但它確實(shí)存在。愛情就在里面。”

我仔細(xì)地聽著，卻無法明白她直到來年的春天。當(dāng)時(shí)，我父親得了重病。我的母親只好陪著他在醫(yī)院做了一個(gè)月。當(dāng)他們回到醫(yī)院，他們都顯得非常蒼白。就像他們都得了一場重病。 再回來，每天的清晨或黃昏，母親都會(huì)攙扶著父親慢慢的走在他國家的道路。我的父親從未如此溫和。它似乎他們是最和諧的合作。在小路旁邊，有許多美麗的野花，綠草和樹木。太陽透過樹葉閃閃發(fā)光。在世界上所有的這些由最美麗的圖畫。醫(yī)生說父親將在兩個(gè)月后康復(fù)。但是兩個(gè)月之后，他仍然無法獨(dú)立行走。我們都很為他擔(dān)心。 “爸爸，你怎么現(xiàn)在感覺怎么樣？ ”我問他一天。 “蘇珊，不用為我擔(dān)心。 ”他溫和地說。 “跟你說實(shí)話，我只是喜歡走你的莫米，我喜歡這樣的生活。 ”從他的眼神，我知道他是愛我的母親深深。

我曾經(jīng)認(rèn)為愛情就是鮮花，禮物和甜蜜的親吻。但是從那一刻起，我明白了，愛情只是一個(gè)廣告在我們的生活中被子里。愛情就在里面，使生活變得堅(jiān)固而溫暖.

李叔叔和王叔叔是好朋友。他們是鄰居，并且他們的農(nóng)場都在南邊的山腳下。因此他們可以互相幫忙。但是他們兩人都不喜歡動(dòng)腦筋，只喜歡做白日夢。盡管他們工作努力，也很勤快，卻都是貧窮的勞動(dòng)者。大部分村民都建了新房子，而他們?nèi)匀蛔≡谟职�又破的房子里。他們倆的數(shù)學(xué)都不好，也很少能想出什么好主意。大部分人都認(rèn)為他們有些瘋瘋癲癲。在四月初的一個(gè)周一的早晨，李叔叔往東區(qū)沿海城市給他的妻子買藥。在城市里，他聽說這里的西紅柿賣得很貴。他一回去就和王叔叔商量了這件事。他們決定運(yùn)一批新鮮的西紅柿去城里的市場。他們從朋友那里借來一些錢，從村里帶了近一千公斤的西紅柿，用拖拉機(jī)運(yùn)往城市。不幸運(yùn)的是，當(dāng)他們到達(dá)時(shí)，那里已經(jīng)運(yùn)來了大量的西紅柿。幾天后，他們不得不低價(jià)賣了這些西紅柿。他們難過地回到了村里，低著頭，把賺到的一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)錢放進(jìn)去抽屜里。李叔叔有一天問道：“我不明白為什么和其他人相比，我們做生意總是虧�！�

“可能是我們的拖拉機(jī)太小，沒什么優(yōu)勢。真可惜啊�！蓖跏迨宀唤�(jīng)思考地說道，“下次我們用卡車運(yùn)更多的西紅柿，比以前多一倍，最大量的！”

Should we be of words better to more from 譯文

有個(gè)盲人小男孩默默地坐在廣場里一座塔式大樓的臺(tái)階上，他的帽子放在腳邊。他戴著手套，將一塊扁平木板放在地面上，上面用蠟筆寫上了幾個(gè)字：“幫幫忙，我是一個(gè)盲人�！泵弊永飵缀跏强盏�，里面只有幾枚硬幣。

一個(gè)陌生人正好走過。他從口袋里掏出幾枚硬幣，丟進(jìn)帽子里。然后，他拿起木板，把它轉(zhuǎn)過來，用顏料在上面印上了幾個(gè)字。他把木板又放了回去，并放到了一個(gè)較高的位置，這樣，路過的人都可以看到了。

越來越多的人把錢放進(jìn)小男孩的帽子里。很快，帽子就被硬幣填滿了。這天下午，修改過木板的男人又來到了這里，看看事情怎么樣了。盲童聽出來腳步聲，問到：“您就是今早修改木板上字的那個(gè)先生吧？您在上面寫了什么呢？”

這個(gè)好心的男人說：“我只是寫了一句大實(shí)話。我把你寫的話換了一種方式寫出來，把你木板上的信息修改了一下，以此來引起人們的關(guān)注。那些字寫出了你的感受�！�

這位男士把他寫的話讀出來：“今天是個(gè)美麗的秋日，可是我看不見�！�

你認(rèn)為第一次寫的字和第二次寫的字是同一個(gè)意思嗎？當(dāng)然，這兩次都說明一個(gè)事實(shí)，那就是這個(gè)小男孩失明了。

但第一次寫的話只是簡單告訴別人這個(gè)小男孩失明了，幫忙給他一點(diǎn)錢。而第二次寫的話告訴人們：你們可以看見如此美好的光明，而他卻不能。第二次寫的表達(dá)了這樣的含義：沒有失明的人是多么的幸運(yùn)啊。

對(duì)于第二次，只是選擇了另外幾個(gè)字，就能引起人們的關(guān)注，并使他們付諸了行動(dòng)，對(duì)此，我們應(yīng)該感到驚訝嗎？
