Beauty
美是大地的笑容
Beauty means this to one and that to the other. And yet when anyone of us has seen that which to him is beautiful he has known an emotion which is in every case the same in kind.
审美标准,因人而异。但一旦美在眼前出现,我们对美的感受却并无二致。
A ship in sail, a blooming flower, a town at night, a lovely poem, leaf shadows, a child's grace, the starry skies, apple trees in spring--the thought of beauty--these are the drops of rain that keep the human spirit from death by draught. They are a stealing and a silent refreshment that we perhaps do not think about but which goes on all the time. Beauty is the smile on the earth's face, open to all, and needs but the eyes to see, mood to understand.
扬帆的航船,绽放的鲜花,夜晚的小镇,优美的诗行,婆娑的树影,孩童的烂漫,漫天的繁 星,春天的果树,这些使我们潜生美感的万千景象,音籁和词句,仿佛雨露般滋润着我们干 涸的心田。它们悄然而来,在我们不经意中荡涤尘寰,绵延不断。美是大地的笑容,人人得 以享受,只要我们用眼去捕捉,用心去感受。

Express Your Love, Don't Buy It
Many times, the small things in life, which we often ignore, are more important than the ones that we consider far more valuable. This theme is highlighted in Kenny Roger's song "But Me a Rose". In his song, he insists on the fact that the expression of love plays a significant role in a relationship. However, many people seem to ignore this fact and assume that love can be expressed through wealth and riches.
In his song, Kenny Rogers narrates the story of a wife whose husband loves her very much.However, she thinks that the way her husband shows her his love is not appropriate.According to her husband, the best way of showing his love is to his wife is by providing her with all the wealth and comforts of life. Consequently, he works hard day and night and is thus not able to devote any of his time to her. His wife, however, argues that this is not what she wants. All she wants for him is to show her more affection by giving her more of his time, caring for her not the big, flashy things that he has given her.
"Buy me a rose, call me from work, Open a door for me, what would it hurt? Show me you love me by the look in your eyes. These are the little things I need the most in my life."
To her, these are all the things that can bring her maximum joy and happiness. Although her husband loves her very much, his way of showing his love for her is creating distances between the two. And as time passes by, the distance keeps increasing.
This song expresses how we lead our lives in today's world and how we think that it takes a lot to make a person happy. It is always the simple pleasures of life which make a difference.It is never the big and flashy things.
The main idea of "But Me A Rose" is that people who are closer to us deserve more sincere expressions of our love, which may be found in smaller things in life. Spending time with them rather than spending money on them is a better way of expressing our love. We should learn to express our feelings than to show our love through material goods.
Express your love.
