Have you seen the bezel on this thing?!It's huge!I know you don't want to accidentally input a command when your thumb is holding it, but come on.看见这玩意儿四周的大边框没？超大啊！我明白你担心拿着电脑的时候不小心输入命令，但是拜托啊，不用这样吧！No Multitasking 不能多任务运行
This is a backbreaker.If this is supposed to be a replacement for netbooks, how can it possibly not have multitasking? Are you saying I can't listen to Pandora while writing a document? I can't have my Twitter app open at the same time as my browser? I can't have AIM open at the same time as my email? Are you kidding me? This alone guarantees that I will not buy this product.这绝对是个麻烦事。如果 iPad 想取代上网本的话，怎么可能不支持多任务运行呢？我写文档就不能听之声了？我开了浏览器就不能开Twitter应用了？ 写个邮件就不能在线聊天了？开玩笑，就这一条我肯定不买。No Cameras 没摄像头
No front facing camera is one thing.But no back facing camera either? Why the hell not? I can't imagine what the downside was for including at least one camera.Could this thing not handle video iChat?
没有前置摄像头就算了，后面也没有？凭啥不装啊？我就没看出来装个摄像头能有啥问题。是不是这电脑玩不来视频iChat啊。Touch Keyboard 触摸键盘
So much for Apple revolutionizing tablet inputs;this is the same big, ugly touchscreen keyboard we've seen on other tablets, and unless you're lying on the couch with your knees propping it up, it'll be awkward to use.苹果大肆鼓吹的平板电脑输入，跟我们在其他平板电脑上看见的一样又大又难看。想打字？你只能躺沙发上用腿当支架。No HDMI Out 没有HDMI高清输出
Want to watch those nice HD videos you downloaded from iTunes on your TV? Too damned bad!If you were truly loyal, you'd just buy an AppleTV already.想在电视上看看你用iTunes下载的漂漂的HD高清视频？没门儿！如果你对水果牌有足够的品牌忠诚度，不如直接买个苹果电视吧。The Name iPad
iPad这个名字太冷了
Get ready for Maxi pad jokes, and lots of 'em!
等着让人拿 pad 开涮吧，会有很多笑话的！小编注：有种生活用品的英文就叫pad，见下图
No Flash 不支持Flash No Flash is annoying but not a dealbreaker on the iPhone and iPod Touch.On something that's supposed to be closer to a netbook or laptop? It will leave huge, gaping holes in websites.I hope you don't care about streaming video!God knows not many casual internet users do.Oh wait, nevermind, they all do.对iPhone或者iTouch来说，没Flash就算了，不是啥大事。但是号称无限接近上网本或者笔记本的东东不支持Flash？你会网页上看见一个一个不能显示的大洞。还有，但愿你不
是很在意流媒体，听说确实有网络用户在乎哈。话说，是人都在乎吧。Adapters, Adapters, Adapters 转换线，转换线，转换线
So much for those smooth lines.If you want to plug anything into this, such as a digital camera, you need all sorts of ugly adapters.You need an adapter for USB for god's sake.实在是受够这些线了。你想把什么东西插电脑上，比如说数码相机吧，你就得需要各种各样难看的转换线。连插个USB都得转换线，苍天啊！It's Not Widescreen 不是宽屏的
Widescreen movies look lousy on this thing thanks to its 4:3 screen, according to Blam, who checked out some of Star Trek on one.It's like owning a 4:3 TV all over again!
什么年代了还玩4:3，宽屏电影怎么看啊。有个朋友用iPad看了《星际迷航》，据说像是又回到了看4:3屏幕电视的时代。Doesn't Support T-Mobile 3G 不支持T-Mobile的3G
Sure, it's “unlocked.” But it won't work on T-Mobile, and it uses microSIMs that literally no one else uses.嗯哼，平板电脑是“不锁定的”，但是T-Mobile就用不了，它得用microSIMs，除了AT&T，没人用这个，啥叫文字游戏啊。A Closed App Ecosystem 糟糕的苹果应用
The iPad only runs apps from the App Store.The same App Store that is notorious for banning apps for no real reason, such as Google Voice.Sure, netbooks might not have touchscreens, but you can install whatever software you'd like on them.Want to run a different browser on your iPad? Too bad!
iPad只能用苹果商店里的应用，就是那个臭名昭著的经常会莫名其妙就禁掉应用的店，上网本可能没有触摸屏，但是你想装啥软件就能装啥软件。iPad哩？想换个浏览器？省省吧。

Let's take steps to banish some of the most common negative thoughts many of us repeat to ourselves.Being in a negative space is harmful to our overall well-being, because what you dwell on can easily become self fulfilling if you don't change your mindset.让我们一起行动起来，消灭那些我们经常告诉自己的消极想法吧!如果你不改变想法，而是一味地沉浸在消极的念头中，那么，我们的整个身心就会受到影响，因为“噩梦”也会成真。
1.I'm not good enough.我不够好。
This type of negative thought that can apply to many categories.Maybe you don't think you're a good enough mother or good at a sport.Even if you find yourself lacking in something, there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself.The human brain is an incredible thing.Be inspired by Dr.Jill Bolte Taylor, Harvard-trained neuroscientist who suffered a stroke that left her unable to walk, read, write, talk, or remember her previous life.Dr.Taylor took eight years to recover and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah.Keep on working toward something, and watch the leaps and
bounds you'll make.这种消极想法有很多类型。比如你认为自己不是个称职的妈妈或不擅长运动。即使你真的发现了自己的弱点，也没必要对自己不断复述。人脑是神奇的。吉尔泰勒就是个激励的好典型，她是哈佛大学的神经系统学专家，中风后她就失去了行走、阅读、书写、交谈的能力了，甚至还失忆了。她花了八年的时间复原，用自己的经历写了畅销书，还上了奥普拉的节目。坚持做一件事，亲眼见证自己的变化。
2.No one cares about me.没人关心我。
To accurately say that your family and friends don't care about you would be a very rare situation.Maybe you're being too negative and overlooking the gestures of love they show you.They don't even have to be big gestures, but it's the little things they do for you that count.And people may be reacting to the energy you're putting out;perhaps you think they don't care about you so you don't make any effort in your relationships.Start showing people you care, so they can show you back in kind.And if you don't have good relationships with the people you know, what's stopping you from making new friends?
家人朋友都不关心你，这种情况其实不太常见。可能你过于消极的想法使你忽略了他们对你表达的爱。他们甚至并不需要为你做什么惊天动地的大事，正是一些小事才真正打动人心。或者你觉得没人关心你，所以无需再经营人际关系，但其实也许人们只有在感知到你的付出后，才会对你进行回报;关心别人，别人才会关心你。如果你和周围人的关系处理不好，为何不结交些新朋友?
3.I really dislike this person.我真的不喜欢这个人。
If you dislike a person in your work or personal life, focusing on her bad qualities is not going to make things better.You need to let go of your assumptions about her and know that she is human too, which means she makes mistakes.Either you move on and stop thinking and talking about her, or learn to approach her or think about her in a positive manner.Focus on her good qualities, and repeat them to yourself instead of honing in on the unpleasant things.如果工作或生活中有你讨厌的人，只关注她的缺点有害无益。你需要放下对她的所有成见，告诉自己她也是个人，也有犯错的时候。要么就不再谈论她和想着她，要么学着去接近她，或想想她好的一面。多想想她的优点，不要再专注于让你不开心的事情。
4.Why is she better off?
为什么她比我好?
Comparing yourself to someone else is never productive or positive.There's always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you.If you keep coveting what someone else has, then this may cause you to be resentful of them, which will open a whole other negative can of worms.Remember, what they don't have is your whole package.Be appreciative of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.和别人比较永远不是有效率和积极的表现。总有比你年轻，漂亮，聪明，富有的人。如果你始终关注别人拥有什么，会带来你对他们的恨意，随即带来更多消极的想法。记住，你所拥有的也是他们所没有的。珍惜你所拥有的东西，如果真的想和别人比较，也别忘了总有
比你差的人。
5.I'll never reach my goal.我永远无法达到目标。
If you think you're not going to be able “get there,” think again.There are many people who are worse off and have overcome bigger obstacles than what you are facing.Take, for example, Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, an amputee who overcame his handicap to compete in the Olympics against his able-bodied peers.Everything is within your reach as long as you work hard and have a a positive attitude.如果你认为自己达不到，再想想。比你差的人比比皆是，他们遇到的困难也比你的更大。比如，奥运会短跑选手刀锋战士奥斯卡·皮斯托利斯，一个被截肢的运动员，战胜了自己的阻碍，在其他健壮的对手中脱颖而出赢得了奥运会的冠军。只要你努力付出，有着积极的信念，任何事都能够做到。
第三篇：【美联英语】双语阅读：目标和梦想
小编给你一个美联英语官方免费试听课申请链接： http://m.meten.com/test/waijiao.aspx?tid=16-73675-0 美联英语提供：目标和梦想
Are you waiting for your dreams to come true and change your life?
I am sorry to tell you that dreams don't come true.你是否还在等待实现梦想来改变你的生活?
很遗憾，那样梦想是不能成真的。
Rather, it is your goals that can forever change your life.You need to set goals in order turn your dreams into reality.但是，你的目标却能永远的改变你的生活
如果要想梦想成真，你就需要给自己订立目标
Don't Confuse Dreams and Goals
Dreams are easy.They are free, too.不要将你的梦想和目标拒之门外
梦想简单易得
However, dreams by themselves are just that… dreams.然而，梦想本身也就是梦想
They are imaginary.And they don't produce tangible results.它们是被想象出来的，它们也不会形成有形的产物。
You need to turn your dreams into action.You need goals to make the visions
of your dreams real.你要做的就是将你的梦想变为行动。你需要设立目标，将你的梦想变得触手可及。
“Dreams can inspire you, but goals can change your life.”
梦想能够激励你，但是目标才能改变你的生活
Goals are all about action.Goals turn dreams into reality.目标与一系列的行动相关。目标能让梦想成真。
Goals change you and can change your life.目标可以改变你，改变你的生活。
Don't confuse your dreams with goals.不要将你有了目标的梦想拒之门外。
Dreams occupy your mind.Goals take over your reality.梦想充实你的内心世界，目标占据着你的现实生活。
What will it take to turn your dreams into goals?
怎样才能把你的梦想转化成你的目标?
Here are 10 Big Differences Between Goals and Dreams:
这里有梦想和目标的10个不同点
Goals are something you are acting on.目标是你正在做的某些事。
Dreams are something you are just thinking about.Goals require action.Dreams can happen without lifting a finger, even while you are asleep.梦想是你内心正在思考的某些东西。目标需要行动。睡觉的时候可以产生梦想，甚至不动一根手指也一样可以办到。
Goals have deadlines.Dreams are just, well, dreams.目标是有期限的，而梦想只是梦想。
Goals must have a deadline.They have a time limit.Dreams can go on forever.In fact, many people maintain dreams their entire lives without ever reaching them.目标肯定有一个有效期，它们是有时间限制的。但是梦想却能永远存在。事实上，许多人都有一个一生都没能实现的梦想。
Dreams are free.Goals have a cost.梦想不需要你支付任何东西，而目标是需要付出代价的。
While you can daydream for free, goals don't come without a price.Time, money, effort and sweat.How will you pay for your goals?
做白日梦不需要有付出，但是目标却不可能没有付出。时间，金钱，精力，汗水。为了达成你的目标，你打算付出些什么呢?
Goals produce results.Dreams don't.目标是可以产生一定的结果的，但梦想不会。
Want to change your life? Your job? Your status in life? Goals can do that.A good friend of mine made six-figures on the ebook he published.He did that.Had it stayed as a dream, his life would have been as it always was.想要你的生活，工作，社会地位有些改变吗?目标可以帮你做到。我的一个好朋友出版的电子书数量超过了六位数，他确实做到了。如果他一直让梦想只是梦想的话，他的生活还是跟以往一样，没有任何改变。
Dreams are imaginary.Goals are based in reality.梦想是想象的产物，而目标确实存在于现实生活中。
You may dream of being Superman, but that is probably not going to happen.Goals are about what you can actually accomplish.They are grounded in the reality of our world.Goals should be big, but not supernatural.你的梦想可能是做一个超人，但很可能它不能成真。目标与你实际完成的事有关，它们存在于我们的现实生活中。目标可以很大，但绝不是超自然。
Goals have a finish line.Dreams never have to end.目标有一个终点，但梦想却可以是没有边际的。
Dreams can go on forever.They don't have to have an ending point.Goals must have a specific outcome.梦想可以一直存在，他不需要有终结点。但目标肯定会有一个特定的结果。
Dreams can inspire you.Goals can change your life.梦想可以一直激励你，而目标才能改变你的生活。
Dreams can bring you motivation.They can inspire you.But, goals can change your life forever.梦想能给你带来激情，它能一直鼓励你，但是目标才能一直改变你的生活。
Goals must have focus.Dreams don't.我们必须专注目标，梦想可以不用。
Dreams can be drifting, ever-changing thoughts.Goals must be laser-focused.They must be specific and they must be always on your mind.梦想是可以随着思想的变化而变化的，但是目标必须要有焦点。它们是具体的，印在你脑海里的。
Goals require hard work.Dreams just require your imagination.目标需要我们努力工作，而梦想只需要你的想象。
Dreaming is easy.做梦都挺容易的。
Almost everyone has a dream.But, fewer people have goals.几乎人人都有梦想。但是极少人有目标。
Goals are hard and they require hard work.(See #3)
完成目标是艰难的，同时也需要我们为此而努力地工作。
Dreams stretch your imagination.Goals stretch you.梦想可以拓宽你的想象力，而目标是拓展你自己。
Dreaming leads to bigger dreams.They stretch the limits of your imagination.But, goals stretch you.They increase your skills, your abilities, and change you forever.做梦可以产生更大的梦想。它可以拓宽你的想象力，而目标则是拓展你自己。它可以增加你的技巧，提高你的能力，永远的改变你。
Goals Do Come True 完成目标
Dreams can inspire you, but goals can change your life.梦想可以鼓励你，而目标则能永远的改变你。
Sometimes it only takes one step to change a dream into a goal.有时，只需一步，梦想就能变为目标。
Yet, it can take years to take that goal to the finish line.也有可能，需要好多年才能完成这个目标。
Always dream big, but make sure your goals are just as big.梦想很大，但请记住你的目标也一样。
Because dreams don't come true… but goals do.因为梦想不能成真，但目标可以。
第四篇：【美联英语】双语阅读：玛格丽特
小编给你一个美联英语官方免费试听课申请链接： http://m.meten.com/test/waijiao.aspx?tid=16-73675-0 美联英语提供：玛格丽特•撒切尔
Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s longest-serving and only woman prime minister, has died aged 87 after suffering a stroke, prompting a flood of tributes from across the globe.玛格丽特?撒切尔(Margaret Thatcher)因中风去世，享年87岁，在世界各地引发了一阵哀悼浪潮。撒切尔是英国任职最长的首相，也是唯一的女首相。
Leaders lined up to pay their respects to the former prime minister, who revolutionised the UK economy during an 11-year tenure, as she rolled back the state and put in place some of the country’s most radical and controversial reforms.各国领导人纷纷向这位英国前首相表达敬意。在其长达11年的任期中，撒切尔领导了英国经济的革命，缩减了政府职能，并实施了该国最为激进、最有争议的一些改革。
David Cameron, UK prime minister, described the former Conservative prime minister as the “greatest peacetime prime minister”.英国现首相戴维?卡梅伦(David Cameron)把这位前保守党首相称为“英国和平时期最伟大的首相”。
“[She] took a country that was on its knees and made Britain stand tall again.We can’t deny that Lady Thatcher divided opinion.For many of us, she was and is
an inspiration.For others she was a force to be defined against.卡梅伦表示：“(她)临危受命，让英国重新站起来，再度屹立。不可否认，人们对她的评价各异。在我们许多人看来，她过去和现在都是一位鼓舞人心的人物。在其他人看来，她是一种特色鲜明的力量。
“But if there is one thing that cuts through all of this – one thing that runs through everything she did – it was her lion-hearted love for this country,” he said.“但如果说有一个中心贯穿着她的一生——在她所做的每一件事中都体现出来，那就是她对这个国家的无比热爱。”
President Barack Obama said: “The world has lost one of the great champions of freedom and liberty, and America has lost a true friend.”
美国总统巴拉克?奥巴马(Barack Obama)表示：“世界失去了一位积极倡导自由的领袖，美国失去了一位真正的朋友。”
The prime minister’s office announced that parliament would be recalled for a special session on Wednesday to pay tribute to Thatcher.Her funeral will be held at the end of next week at St Paul’s Cathedral.英国首相办公室宣布，周三议会将召开一次特别会议，向撒切尔致哀。她的葬礼将于下周末在伦敦圣保罗大教堂(St Paul's Cathedral)举行。
She will have a “full ceremonial funeral” with military honours as was afforded to the Queen Mother and Lady Diana.The British flag flew at half mast over Parliament to honour Thatcher as all UK political parties suspended campaigning for the local elections on May 2.撒切尔将享有带有军事礼仪的“礼仪葬礼”，礼遇同王太后和戴安娜一样。英国国会降半旗向撒切尔致哀，各政党暂停针对5月2日地方选举的竞选活动。
Thatcher, who transformed Britain with her free-market revolution, had been in poor health since suffering minor strokes in 2002.自从2002年患上中风以来，撒切尔的健康状况一直很差。她曾以自己的自由市场革命改变了英国的面貌。
Statesmen past and present shared their memories of the woman dubbed the “Iron Lady”.Tony Blair, the second longest-serving postwar prime minister, called her “a towering political figure”.“Very few leaders get to change not only the political landscape of their country but of the world.Margaret was such a leader.Her global impact was vast.”
已卸任和在任的政治家们共同悼念有“铁娘子”绰号的撒切尔。英国战后任期第二长的首相托尼布莱尔(Tony Blair)称撒切尔为“一位伟大的政治人物。”“不但改变本国政治版图、还改变世界政治版图的领袖人物非常少，撒切尔就是其中的一位。她在全球播下了深远的影响。”
George W.Bush, former US president, described her as a “great ally” who “strengthened the special relationship”.美国前总统小布什(George W.Bush)称撒切尔为一位“强化了美英特殊关系的伟大盟友”。
Thatcher had a particularly close relationship with Ronald Reagan, the former US president.撒切尔与美国前总统罗纳德?里根(Ronald Reagan)之间保持了一种极为密切的关系。
With Reagan, she helped bring about the end of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall.The British prime minister saw herself as the perfect intermediary between the two countries, having struck up constructive relationships with both Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet president, and a man with whom she told Reagan “we can do business”.她和里根一道促成了苏联的解体和柏林墙的倒塌。这位英国前首相把自己视为美苏两国间的完美中间人，与里根和苏联总统米哈伊尔?戈尔巴乔夫(Mikhail Gorbachev)都建立了富有建设意义的关系。她告诉里根，戈尔巴乔夫是一个“我们能和他打交道”的人。
Mr Gorbachev said Thatcher helped end the Cold War: “Thatcher was a politician whose word carried great weight,” he said in a statement on his website.“Our first meeting in 1984 marked the beginning of a relationship that was at times difficult, not always smooth, but was treated seriously and responsibly by both sides.”
戈尔巴乔夫在自己网站上发布的声明中表示，撒切尔帮助结束了冷战：“撒切尔是一位一言九鼎的政治家。我们在1984年第一次会面，随后便开启了一段时而棘手、并非一帆风顺但双方都认真负责予以对待的关系。”
Lech Walesa, Poland’s former president and anti-communist freedom figure, said Thatcher was key in hastening the fall of the Iron Curtain: “She was a great person.She did a great deal for the world, along with Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II and Solidarity, she contributed to the demise of communism in Poland and central Europe.”
波兰前总统、反对共产主义的自由派人士列赫?瓦文萨(Lech Walesa)表示，撒切尔在加
速“铁幕”(Iron Curtain)倒塌的过程中发挥了关键的作用：“她是一位伟人。她为世界做出了巨大的贡献，她与罗纳德?里根、教皇约翰?保罗二世(Pope John Paul II)和波兰团结工会(Solidarity)一起，推动了波兰与中欧共产主义政权的终结。”
Her other great success abroad was in the Falklands War against Argentina, which invaded the islands in 1982.Thatcher defied resistance in her own cabinet to send a 25,000-strong task force to the tiny archipelago, which troops eventually recaptured after two months.撒切尔在海外的其他巨大胜利，还包括1982年的英阿福克兰群岛战争(Falklands war，又称马岛战争)。她不顾自己内阁的反对，向面积微小的福克兰群岛派出了2.5万人的特遣部队，最终于两个月后夺回了该群岛。
Her legacy was just as long-lasting at home.A succession of prime ministers, Labour and Conservative alike, have felt unable or unwilling to depart from the blueprint she established of a state serviced by privatised utilities and free of the stranglehold of organised unions.撒切尔在国内留下的遗产同样意义深远。历任首相，无论出自工党还是保守党，都感到不能或不愿背离她为英国设定的蓝图——公用事业私有化，企业不受有组织工会的钳制。

小编给你一个美联英语官方免费试听课申请链接： http://m.meten.com/test/waijiao.aspx?tid=16-73675-0 美联英语提供：泥土的微笑
All over my garden I've planted nothing but roses, fragrant and if looked at from afar-ablaze with colour like sunset clouds.I would be very happy if any one of my visiting friends should desire to pick and take some for their homes.I trust that any friend of nune carrying the roses would vanish into the distance feeling that his emotion had been rekindled.我在花园里种满了芬芳的玫瑰花，远远望去，他们像一片燃烧的晚霞。如果来访的朋友想摘些花带回家，我会很高兴。我相信朋友捧着火红的玫瑰渐渐走远的背影，一定能点燃易感的情怀。
A close friend came for a visit the other day, I know her to be a lover of flowers and plants, and for that reason I told her at her departure that she should pick a bunch of roses to decorate her boudoir.I promised that the scent ofthe roses would be wafted far, far away.有一天，一位非常要好的女友来探望我，我知道她平素最喜欢花花草草了，临别时我说，采一束玫瑰点缀你的闺房，保证十里飘香。
That girl friend of mine, tiptoeing into the garden in high spirits, sniffed here and smelt there, but in the end she didn't pick a single rose.I said there were so many of them tbat she could pick as many as she'd like to, I told her that I was not a
florist and didn't make a living out of them.While saying so I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she vehemently stopped me, crying no, no, no!
女友轻轻地跨进花园，东闻闻，西嗅嗅，神采飞扬，就是不肯采摘。我说没关系，多的是，并让她尽管采摘。我告诉她我又不是花店的老板，不会靠玫瑰赚钱的，说完我就举起剪刀准备献美。女友急忙拦住，高声叫着不可不可。
To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said.With her hands clutching at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut.Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so iron hearted as to destroy a smile so exhilarating?
这么美丽的玫瑰剪下来，让人心疼，她说道。她紧抓住我的袖子叮咛道：千万不能剪啊，玫瑰是泥土的微笑，谁忍心杀戮美得醉人的微笑?
My mind was thoroughly boggled: the ugly earth, the humble earth,the plain earth-it is only because of the roses that it reveals an amazing and bright smile, and it is for the sake of that smile that it wins the care and pity of men.我的灵魂悚然一惊，丑陋的泥土、卑微的泥土、朴素的泥土，因为玫瑰，它露出了惊艳一笑。因为这一笑，它让人爱惜非常。
Of late a friend of mine i_nvited me to appreciate a Tang Dynasty vase that he was fortunate enough to have bought at an auction.The vase, with its slim neck, plump body, and fine little flowers on a blue and white background, has a noble shape and a rich colouring, elegant, refined, proud, poised, and supercilious, an extreme embodiment of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.I was filled with wonder to think that while everyone present was talang great care not to cause the
slightest damage to the Tang treasure, it was to me nothing but an object made of clay.It had only become a piece of classic art after being baked in a china kiln.近日，一个朋友在拍卖会上有幸购得一个花瓶，花瓶细颈大肚，碎花蓝白图案，看上去流光溢彩。从造型到色彩，整个如唐朝盛世的化身，雍容、华贵、高傲、悠闲，目空一切。朋友邀请我们大家观赏。奇怪的是每一个参观者都小心谨慎，生怕碰坏这盛唐的宝贝。其实它不过是一撮泥土而已，在经过窑烧之后才干修百炼成瓷中经典的口.Both the exqusiteness of the boccaro teapots made in south China, and the shockingly beautiful sculptures by Clay Sculptor Zhang of Tianjin aren't they all smiles of the earth? They are such exquisite treasures that-even if they look ugly, humble, plain, or whatever-they no doubt deserve respect and veneration.江南的紫砂壶玲珑剔透，天津泥人张的彩塑令人拍案叫绝，它们不都是泥土的微笑吗?它们弥足珍贵，即使曾丑陋，即使曾卑微，即使曾朴素，同样让人肃然起敬。
Now I understand that no one, however ordinary, should be condemned to anonymity, and that anyone who adds a dash of colour to life deserves our respect.我懂得了，即使再平凡的人，也没有理由被埋没，只要努力活出色彩，一定会叫人刮目相看。
