thanks,mom,for all you have done
谢谢你,妈妈,为了你所做的一切
We tend to get caught up in everyday business and concerns and forget some of the things that are most important.Too few of us stop and take the time to say “thank you” to our mothers.我们往往被日常事务缠住而忘记一些最为重要的事情。我们极少有人停下来花时间对我们的母亲说一声“谢谢你”
With a letter to my mother on the occasion of Mother’s Day, I’m going to take a minute to reflect.Feel free to use any of this in greeting your own mother on Sunday, May 10.Happy Mother’s Day to all.我准备在母亲节之际花一点时间给母亲写封信反省一下。在5 月10 日星期天问候你的母亲时请随意用这封信中任何句子。祝大家母亲节快乐。
Dear Mom,This letter, I know,is long past due.I know you’ll forgive the tardiness, you always do.亲爱的妈妈:
我知道,这封信早就该写了。我知道你会原谅我的拖沓,你总是这样的。There are so many reasons to say thank you, it’s hard to begin.I’ll always remember you were there when you were needed.有很多很多理由要说谢谢你,真不知从何说起。我会永远记住,每当需要你 时,你总是在那儿。
When I was a child, as happens with young boys, there were cuts and bumps and scrapes that always felt better when tended by you.我小的时候,如同所有的小男孩一样,身上总有些割破的伤口、碰撞造成的 肿块和擦伤,但有你照料总感到好一些。
You kept me on the straight path , one I think I still walk.你引导我一直走在正路上,我认为这仍是我在走的路。
There was nothing quite so humbling as standing outside my elementary school classroom and seeingyoucome walking down the hall.You were-1-
working at the school and I often managed to get sent outside class for
something.Your chiding was gentle, but right to the point.最为丢脸的事莫过于站在我小学的课堂外看到你沿着走廊走过来。你在学校里工作,而我竟然常常因为犯事被赶出教室。你的责备很和婉,但却非常中肯。I also remember that even after I grew bigger than you, you weren’t afraid to remind me who was in charge.For that I thank you.我还会记住,即使在我长得比你高大以后,你也不怕提醒我谁是家里的主管。为此我感谢你You did all the things that mothers do-the laundry, the cooking and cleaning-all without complaint or objection.But you were never too busy to help with a problem, or just give a hand.母亲们做的事你都做了,洗衣服、烧饭、打扫卫生,而且毫无怨言、毫无异议。然而即使再忙你也总能帮着我做题,或助我一臂之力You let me learn the basics in the kitchen, and during the time I was on my own it kept me from going hungry.你让我学会了厨房里的基本功,这使我在独自一人时不致挨饿。
You taught by example and for that I am grateful.I can see how much
easier it is with my own daughter to be the best model I can be.You did that for me.你以身作则,身教重于言教,对此我非常感激。我能看到我多么容易就成了自己女儿的最佳楷模。你为我做出了榜样。
Your children are grown now, your grandchildren, almost.You can look back with pride now and know youcan rest.As mothers are judged, you stand with the best.你的孩子们现在都已成人,你孩子们的孩子也差不多都已长大。你现在可以自豪地回顾过去,而且知道自己可以休息了。要是对母亲们进行评价,你当立于最佳母亲之列。

THE SMILE
Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other ? it doesn’t matter who it is ? and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.常保持笑容,对你的另一半、你的孩子微笑,甚至对陌生人也不要吝惜你的微笑,因为小小的微笑就能大大增进人与人之间的感情。
Many Americans are familiar with The Little Prince, a wonderful book by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.Far fewer are aware of Saint-Exupery’s other writings, novels and short stories.法国作家安东尼·圣艾修伯里所写的《小王子》是本很多美国人都很熟悉的极好的书。很少人知道,除了《小王子》,圣艾修伯里还创作过其他小说和短篇故事。
Saint-Exupery was a fighterpilot who fought against the Nazis and was killed in action.Before World War II, he fought in the Spanish Civil War against the fascists.He wrote a fascinating story based on that experience entitled The Smile.It is this story which I’d like to share with you now.圣艾修伯里是名飞行员,二次大战对抗纳粹时被击落身亡,之前他也曾参加西班牙内战打击法西斯分子。他根据这次经验写了一篇精彩的故事《微笑》,现在要提的就是这篇作品。
He said that he was captured by the enemy and thrown into a jail cell.From the contemptuous looks and rough treatment he received from his jailers,he would be executed the next day.作者被敌军俘虏,关进监牢。看守监狱的人一脸凶相,态度极为恶劣。他心想,明天绝对会被拖出去枪毙。
“I was sure that I was to be killed.I became terribly nervous and upset.I fumbled in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes which had escaped their search.I found one But I had no matches.我确信我就要被杀害。我变得极度紧张和沮丧。我在口袋里摸索,看是否有逃过搜查的香烟。我找到了一个,但我没有火柴。
“I looked through the bars at my jailer.He did not make eye contact with me.I called out to him ‘Have you got a light,sir?’ He looked at me for a while and came over to light my cigarette.“我越过铁栅看着狱卒。他没有注意到我在看他。我便对他喊道‘你有火吗,先生?”他看了我一会,然后走过来给我点着烟。
“As he came close and lit the match, our eyesmet, At that moment, I smiled.I don’t know why I did that.Perhaps it was nervousness,or perhaps it was because when you get very close, one to
another, it is very hard not to smile.In any case, I smiled.In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts.I know he didn’t want it, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too.He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.“当他帮我点火时,他的眼光无意中与我的相接触,这时我突然冲着他微笑。我不知道自己为何有这般反应,也许是过于紧张,或者是当你如此靠近另一个人,你很难不对他微笑。不管是何理由,我对他笑了。就在这一刹那,这抹微笑如同火花般,打破了我们心灵间的隔阂。受到了我的感染,他的嘴角不自觉地也现出了笑容。他点完火后并没立刻离开,两眼盯着我瞧,脸上仍带着微笑。
“I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer.And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension, too.‘Do you have kids?’ he asked.“我一直对着他微笑,现在意识到他作为一个人,而不是一种狱卒。他看着我的眼神也少了当初的那股凶气,‘你有小孩吗?”他问。
“ ‘Yes, here, here.’ I took out my walletand nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family.He, too, took out the pictures of his children and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them.My eyes filled with tears.I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up.Tears came to his eyes, too.“‘有,你看。“我透过铁栏望着外面拿出我的钱包,紧张地摸索着的家人的照片。他也把他的孩子们的照片给我看,开始谈着他的期望与计划。这时我眼中充满了泪水,我说我害怕再也见不到家人。我害怕没机会看着孩子长大。他听了也流下两行眼泪。
Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out.Out of the jail and out of the town.And There, at the edge of town, he released me.And without another word, he turned back toward the town.“突然间,他二话不说地打开了牢门,悄悄地带我出来逃离了监狱,出了小镇,就在小镇的边上,他放了我,之后便转身往回走,没有说一句话。
My life was saved by a smile.、我的生命被一个微笑所救
Yes, the smile?the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people.是的,微笑吗?不,无计划的,自然的人际关系。

第四篇:大学英语课文翻译
我原谅你
并非只有婚姻关系才需要宽恕。我们与子女、朋友、同事、邻居,甚至陌生人相处时同样需要宽恕。事实上,没有宽恕的氧气,任何人际关系都无从维系。宽恕并不是脾气好的人们才拥有的特质;它是所有关系的必要条件,也是自己的身心健康不可缺少的。
有些人可能认为,自己受伤太深,次数太多,无法宽恕。可耐人寻味的是,恰恰是被伤得最深的人,才真正需要宽恕别人,原因很简单:仇恨就像癌症,会毁掉宿主。如果不尽快铲除,它就会生根发芽,使那些执意仇恨无法释怀的人受伤甚至死亡。
因为事实是,除非我们能宽恕他人,否则就永远无法恢复。伤口会继续溃烂,永不愈合。中国有句古谚,“复仇者必自绝”。
对有些人来说,宽恕他人似乎是不可能的,因为他们根本就不知从何做起。首先你要接受一个非常重要的事实:宽恕他人并不是件容易的事。事实上,对于我们大多数人来说,这也许是最难做到的。
背伤害的是我们,却还要宽恕他人,这似乎毫无公平可言,然后这真是宽恕的关键所在。
“宽恕并忘记”,这句俗话谁都会脱口而出,但实际上既简单又肤浅。一则这是绝对不可能的,二则它完全偏离了宽恕的真正含义。生活中最需要宽恕的事真是那些无法忘记的事。我们不应该把这些事掩饰起来,而需记住它们,并有意不因此对做过这些事的人怀有成见,然后继续生活。
这就是为什么有的时候会感到:宽恕别人,一开始会相对容易些,难的是每次你看到那个人,与他谈话,甚至只是想起他之后如何控制自己的感情。真正的宽恕不是一劳永逸之举,而是持久的情感面对。
等待越久,宽恕就越难。实际上,时间不会愈合伤口,只会让愤懑和仇恨更长时间地吞噬你的内心。如果要等待“适当的时候”,你也许永远都找不到机会。
开始运用宽恕的艺术之前,你先要问自己这样一个问题:我们中有多少人在特定的场合下是完全无辜的呢?
几年前,我和妻子买了一件便宜家具。最初几个月,它蒙蔽了所有人——美观、实用、人见人爱。我们认为它太适合我们家了。可时间一长,表面薄层的边角部分开始慢慢脱落。再也没有当初的效果了,不过至少它现在是以真实面目示人!事实是,不管喜欢不喜欢,在漂亮的表层下,我们都只是刨花板。因此,在我们评价别人之前,明智的做法是先在镜子里认真审视自己。我们越是审视自己,正视自己的缺点,便越愿意也越能够宽恕他人的缺点,宽恕的越多,也就越能体会到真正的满足。
宽恕他人能得到令人满意的反应。我发现向自己的孩子道歉不仅能修复了我们破裂的关系,也有助于缓和紧张的局面,使孩子们更容易自己开口请求我们的宽恕。如果你认为自己是对的,没有办法宽恕,那么问自己这个问题:要正确,还是要快乐?
要宽恕别人,最难的一点是迈出第一步——如果你已经好长时间不和伤害你的人讲话,就更是如此。但请记住,他们很可能会很高兴得到你的消息。他们也许甚至会因为你做了他们多年来想着要做的事而深受感动。但谨记你这样做是为他们,同样也是为自己,所以即便他们的反应有违你的期望也不要难过。
当然,有些人并不认为自己做错了什么,或者根本不在乎,因此如果你说要宽恕他们,那只会让两个人都懊恼。但这并不意味着你自己的心里没有宽恕。实际上,这才是真正的宽恕,不再生气,不再感觉受伤,心平气和对待发生的事,继续自己的生活。
怨恨越深,越不开心。如果不能学会宽恕这门“失传的艺术”,你就将永远是受害者,不仅是伤害你的人的受害者,也是自己情感的受害者。
宽恕别人能让你处于主动地位。尽管宽恕很难,但不宽恕的话情况会更糟。“宽恕我们的罪过吧,虽然我们拒绝宽恕对不起我们的人”,《圣经》里没有这样的话,这可是有道理的。
假如拥有三天光明
我们都读过一些扣人心弦的故事,主人公将不久于人世,长则一年,短则24小时。而我们总是很感兴趣,这个即将辞世的人会如何度过他最后的时日。当然,我指的是拥有选择权利的自由人,不是那些活动范围受到严格限制的死囚。
这一类故事会促使我们思考,在类似的处境下,我们自己会做些什么?身为生命有限的人类,我们会把什么样的事件、经历、联想,塞进这最后的时光里?回首往事,我们又会有哪些快乐和遗憾呢?
有时我想,把每天都当作生命的最后一天来度过,会是一个很好的原则。这样的态度将更能凸显人生的价值。每一天我们都会怀着柔情、充满活力、心存感激,而这些,在来日方长时却常被我们所忽视。当然,也有一些人会奉行享乐主义——吃喝玩乐,但是绝大多数人在得知死期将至时都会更加珍惜生命。
我们大多数人都不珍惜生命。我们知道有一天自己定会死去,但是总觉得这一天很遥远。我们身体健康时,死亡是完全无法想象的,我们很少会加以考虑。日复一日,没有尽头。所以我们忙于琐事,几乎不曾意识到自己对生活的态度有多么冷漠。
在运用所有的感官时我们的态度恐怕同样冷漠。只有聋人才珍惜听力,只有盲者才知道能见光的幸运。对于那些成年后才失明失聪的人来说尤其如此。但是那些听力或视力从未遭受损失的人却很少充分利用这些幸运的能力。他们眼睛看见的、耳朵听到的,都是模糊的,不专心,也不带感激。这个道理,就是常说的失去才懂得珍惜,生病才知健康可贵。
我常想,如果每一个人在刚成年时,有几天突然既盲又聋,也不失为一件幸事。黑暗会令他更感激光明;寂静会教会他领会声音的乐趣。
有时我会试探视力正常的朋友,问他们看见了什么。最近,一位非常要好的朋友来看我,她刚刚在树林里走了很长时间,我问她看见了什么。“没什么,”她回答说。我本应觉得难以置信,不过我早已习惯类似的回答,因为很久以前我就知道视力正常的人看到的东西很少。
我问自己,在树林里散步一个小时,看不到任何值得注意的东西,这怎么可能呢?我看不见东西,只凭触摸,却也能发现数以百计的有趣的东西。我感觉到树叶的精巧对称。我的手爱抚着白烨树光滑的树皮,或是松树粗糙的树干。春天里,我怀着希望触摸着树枝寻找新芽,那是大自然从冬眠中苏醒后的第一个征象。我感受花朵的悦人纹理,发现它的可爱褶皱,大自然的神奇一角展现在我的面前。偶尔,如果幸运的话,当我把手轻轻地放在一棵小树上,会感到放声歌唱的小鸟欢快的颤动。张开手指,让清凉的溪水从指间冲过,我会很开心。对我来说,厚厚的松针或松软的草坪比奢华的波斯地毯更惹人喜爱。对我来说,多彩的季节如同一场动人心魄的不会完结的戏剧,剧中情节从我的指间流过。
我的心不时地在呐喊,渴望能亲眼看到这一切。仅仅通过触摸,我就能获得如此多的喜悦,那光明又将展示多少美啊。然而,有眼睛的人看到的却分明不多。整个世界色彩缤纷、生机勃勃,人们却都漫不经心。也许,已经拥有的不加珍惜,还没得到的却想拥有,这是人之常情,但是在光明的世界里只把视物的天赋作为使生活方便的工具,而不是丰富生活的工具,这实在是太令人遗憾了。
啊,假如拥有三天光明,我将能看见多少事物啊!
追梦
很多年轻人告诉我,他们想当作家。我总是鼓励这些人,但我也会解释,“当作家”和写作是有区别的。在多数情况下,这些人是在梦想名利,而不是在打字机前独自度过漫长的时间。我对他们说,“你得渴望写作,而不是渴望当作家。”
孤独、冷清、低薪,这就是写作的现实写照。幸运之神会眷顾一些作家,但数以千计的人心中的渴望永远无法满足。就算是成功者,大多也曾长期无人问津、穷困潦倒,包括我。
我离开工作了20年的美国海岸警备队成为一名自由作家时,前途一片渺茫。唯一拥有的是一个儿时的朋友乔治,他跟我在田纳西州的亨宁一起长大。乔治在格林尼治村公寓看门,他在那里帮我找了间腾出来的储藏室。那儿很冷,又没有卫生间,可是我不在乎。我马上买了一部二手的打字机,感觉就像一个真正的作家了。
然而,过了一年左右还没有时来运转,我开始怀疑自己。作品很难卖出去,我只能勉强维持生计,但我知道,我渴望写作,多少年来我一直梦想着写作。我不要像有些人一样,临死时还想,“假如......”我要坚持不懈地实验着我的梦,哪怕衣食无着,害怕失败,也决不放弃。这是希望的阴影地带,每个有梦的人都必须学会在那里安居。
一天,我接到一个电话,我的医生从此改变。不是经纪人或编辑打来要和我签一份大额合同。刚好相反,这个电话像海妖的歌声,诱使我放弃梦想。打电话的是海岸警备队的一个老熟人,警备队现在设在旧金山。他借过一些钱给我,不时提起这件事。“我什么时候才能拿回那15快钱啊,亚历克斯?”他揶揄道。
“等我下次卖了稿子吧。”
他说,“我有个更好的主意。我们这里要新招一个公共信息助理,年薪六千。想要的话,这位子就是你的了。”
一年六千!在1960年,那可是一大笔钱了。我可以买套不错的房子,一辆二手车,还清所有的债,甚至还可以有点积蓄,而且我还可以在业余世间写作。钞票在我脑海中舞动,但我的头脑蓦地清醒了。从内心深处,一个固执的决定涌上心头。我的梦想是要当作家,全职作家。我一定要实现梦想。“谢谢,我不去,”我听到自在这样说,“我要坚持写作。”
放下电话,我在小小的房间里踱着步,开始觉得自己像个傻瓜。我把手伸进壁橱(一个钉在墙上的装桔子的板条箱),拿出里面所有的东西:两个沙丁罐头。我把手伸进口袋,找到了18分钱。我把罐头和硬逼塞进一个皱巴巴的纸袋。我对自己说,看吧,亚历克斯,这就是你的全部家当了。我觉得前所未有的沮丧。
我希望我可以说,情况马上有了好转,可是没有。幸亏还有乔治帮我渡过难关。
通过他,我认识了一些正在苦苦奋斗的艺术家,比如乔德莱尼,绘画很多年,;来自田纳西的诺克斯维尔。乔经常穷得连食物都买不起,所以他会去附近的一家肉店,那屠夫会给些粘着肉末的大骨头;他还会去杂货店,店主会给他一些焉了的蔬菜。用这些,乔就可以做他喜爱的汤了。
村里还有一位邻居,是个英俊的年轻歌手,开一家生意清淡的餐馆。据说,要是顾客点了牛扒,这歌手就会冲到街对面的超市里买一份回来。他的名字叫哈利·贝拉方特。
德莱尼和贝拉方特等人成了我的楷模。我懂得了,要追求梦想,就得做出牺牲,有创意地生活。在梦想的阴影里生活就是这样的。
我品味这这个教训,这时我文章的销路也慢慢好起来。我写的是当时街头巷尾大众谈论的话题:公民权利、美国黑人、非洲。很快,就像南归的鸟儿一样,我的思绪回到了童年。在寂静的房间里,我仿佛可以听见亲人的声音,祖母、乔治亚表姐、普卢思阿姨、利兹阿姨、蒂尔阿姨,在向我讲述我们的家族历史和奴隶制度。
以前,美国黑人对这些故事避而不谈,所以我也很少向别人说起。但有一天,我与《读者文摘》的编辑们共进午餐时,我讲了祖母、阿姨和表姐她们的故事。我说,我有一个梦想,就是要追溯我的家族史,找到那戴着枷锁来到美国海岸的第一个非洲人。午餐结束时,我已经得到一份合同,资助我的调查与写作,为期九年。
爬出阴影所在,是一个漫长而艰难的过程。不过到了1970年,我离开海岸警备队十七年之后,《根》发表了。一夜之间,我拥有了大多数作家都不曾拥有的名望和成功。阴影已经变成了令人目眩的聚光灯。
生平第一次,我有钱了,机会之门处处为我敞开。电话响个不停,总是有新的朋友,还有新的合约。我收拾好,搬到洛杉矶,协助拍摄《根》的电视系列短篇。这段时间,我应接不暇,令我精神振奋。在某种意义上,我被成功的光环蒙蔽了双眼。有一天,整理行装时,我看到一个箱子,装的是多年前我在格林尼治村的家当。里面有一只棕色的纸袋。
我打开来,看到两个锈迹斑斑的沙丁鱼罐头,一枚五分硬币,一枚十分硬币,三枚一分硬币。突然,往事潮涌而来。我仿佛看到自己又蜷缩在打字机前,在那个凄冷的单间里。我对自己说,这袋子里的东西也是我的一部分根。我可不能忘了。
我请人把这些东西镶起来。我把这个透明的塑料盒放在每天都能看到的地方。我现在就可以看到它,就放在诺克斯维尔的办公桌上方,放在一起的还有普利策奖杯,一张有电市版《根》所获九个艾美奖的照片,还有斯宾干奖牌——“全国有色人种协进会”(NAACP)的最高荣誉。要是问我,哪一个对我意义最大我会感到很难回答。但这中间,只有一样东西会提醒我,在梦想的阴影里坚持自己的方向需要怎样的勇气和毅力。
这个教训,每一个有梦的人都应该汲取。
选择乐观
假如你预料某事结局不妙,结果可能真会如此。悲观的想法很少落空。不过这个法则反过来也成立。假如你觉得会有好事发生,通常就会交上好运!乐观与成功之间似乎有一种天然的因果关系。
乐观和悲观都具有强大的力量,我们每个人必须选择其一,来塑造自己的前途和理想。每个人的生命中都有足够的幸运与不幸——丰富的爱上和喜悦、充足的欢欣与痛苦——令我们找到或乐观或悲观的理由。我们可以选择哭或是笑、祝福或是诅咒。这完全取决于我们自己:用什么样的眼光去看待生活?是积极向上,还是垂头丧气?
我信守积极向上的态度。对积极的东西我浓墨重彩,对消极的东西则一笔带过。我是乐天派,既是天生如此,也因后天选择所致。诚然,我知道生命中会有伤痛。我已经七十岁了,经历过不止一次的危机。但是,当一切尘埃落定,我发现生命中的美好远比丑恶多。
乐观的态度不是奢侈品,它是我们生活的必需品。你看待生活的方式将决定你的感受、你的表现,以及你与他人相处得怎样。反过来,悲观的想法、态度和期待也会自成因果:它们是能自我实现的预言。悲观会制造出无人愿往的黑暗之地。
多年前,我驱车去一个加油站加油。那天天气很好,我的心情也不错。当我走进加油站付油钱时,服务员问我:“你感觉怎样?”这问题有点古怪,不过,我感觉很好,于是便照实回答了他。“你脸色不好,”他回答。这话让我大吃一惊。我告诉他我的感觉从未像现在这么好,但已不像开始那么底气十足了,而他则毫无顾忌地继续大讲我的气色如何差,还说我肤色发黄。在离开加油站的时候,我觉得有点心神不宁。驶出一个街区之后,我把车停在路旁,对着镜子看着自己的脸。我感觉如何》我的脸色那么差吗?一切都正常吗?等我回到家里,我已经开始觉得有点想吐。我的肝脏出了毛病?是不是染上了什么怪病?
再次关顾那个加油站时,我还是感觉很好,我弄明白了个中蹊跷。这个地方不久前把墙漆上了一种抢眼但又难看的黄色,墙面反射的光线使里面的每一个人看起来都像得了肝炎。不知道有多少人有过与我类似的反应。和一个根本不认识的人的一次短短的对话竟然改变了我整整一天的心情。他说我面带病容,没过多久,我就真的觉得不舒服。那一句消极的话就大大影响了我的感觉和行为。
唯一比否定态度更有力量的是积极的肯定,充满乐观与希望的话语。最让我心存感激的一件事情,就是我生长的这个过度有着伟大的乐观主义传统。如果一种文化从整体上采取积极向上的态度,不可思议的事情也能变成现实。人们若把世界看作光明与希望之地,他们将背赋予努力进取和成就工业的力量。
乐观不意味着幼稚。在保持乐观的同时,你仍然能意识到问题的存在,意识到有些问题非常棘手。乐观带来的该改变在于面对问题的态度。比方说,这些年我总是听到有人抱怨用于太空计划的钱是被拜拜浪费了。他们会说:“与其花4亿5千5百万美元把一个人送上月球,为什么不把这些钱用来解决地球上贫穷问题呢?”但当你追问他们打算如何用这些钱来消除贫困时,大多数人又会无言以对。我对他们说:“告诉我一个解决办法,我会为你们筹到钱。”以积极的方式思考如何解决问题,而不是对花在别的项目上的金钱王嘉挑剔。实际上,美国太空计划带来了许多有价值的发现,全人类都从中受益。
乐观精神使我们的注意力从消极的否定态度转向积极的、建设性的思考。乐观主义者更关心如何解决问题,而不是毫无意义的怨天尤人。事实上,如果没有乐观精神,像贫穷这样严重而且现在存在的问题是无望解决的。解决这样的 问题需要一个梦想家——一个拥有九死不悔的乐观、矢志不移的坚韧和无线信心的人。何去何从,由你决定。
