Never Want too Long
莫待花谢时
Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work.
每年春天的时候,在我每天去工作的高速公路旁边的沟渠里面,都会盛开着一簇鲜艳的花朵。
There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hour, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, see those beautiful flowers.
有一簇十分蔚蓝的花朵总会引起我的注意。我早已觉察到了它只有在早晨的时候才会盛开,(这也许是因为)下午的温度太高了。
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.
今年春天,我在自己的院子里面开辟了一块野花园。我能在清洗碟盘的时候就从厨房的窗户看到外面的花朵。我已经思考了许多次,要是那沟渠里那美丽的蔚蓝花簇也移栽在花床中并和其他野花放置到一起,那样会非常好看。
Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, "I'll stop on my way home and dig them." "Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty..." Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel for my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose.
每天我开车路过那簇蔚蓝色花朵的时候都在想着,"回家的时候我就去把它们挖走带回家吧。""哎,我不想把自己漂亮的衣服弄脏了…"不管是什么理由吧,我始终没有停下车来去把它们挖走。为了那个想法,我丈夫甚至给我的货车上装了一副折叠铲。
One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, "Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring."
有一天,在我下班回家的路上,注意到路政处已经把那沟渠修整一番,使我沮丧的是那里漂亮的蔚蓝花簇也已经不见了。我自己思索着,"早该动手了,只是我等太久没开始罢了。我也许真该在春天里第一次看到它们的时候就把它们带回家去了。"
A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven' t been as close as we all would have liked.
一个礼拜前,我们得知嫂子患了晚期脑瘤后很震惊也为她感到难过。她年长我丈夫20岁而且由于年龄和居住的一些理由,很遗憾的是,彼此之间并不像我们曾期待的那样关系亲密。
I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop
and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
我不禁想到,自己与这些漂亮蓝花和我们同嫂子的关系。我相信上帝年年都会给我们一定的时间去播种那些美好的记忆。而且我深信,如果重来一次,我要是能再看到那些蔚蓝花朵的话,不用说,我肯定会停下车来,然后把它们移栽到我的野花园里。

The Basis of Love
爱的基础
The following story took place long ago in Israel. One day when government officials were rebuilding a barn, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another.
很久以前,在以色列发生了一段故事:有一天当政府人员在翻新谷仓时,发现墙角有一个老鼠洞,于是众人用烟熏的方式,希望远里面的老鼠出来。待了一会,采然看到老鼠一只只池边窜出来。
Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they about to start to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing out at the exit of the hole. After some endeavor, the mice finally got out. The strange thing was that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the exit of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
众人正忖度老鼠大概已经逃光了,可以上前打扫之际,却见还有两只老鼠在洞口处推挤,经过一番努力,双双才逃出来。但很奇怪的是,两只老鼠出了洞口以后,却不立即逃走,而是在洞口附近互相追赶,像是要咬对方的尾巴似的。
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped closer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other one was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
众人都很纳闷,便走上前去细看,这才发现原未其中一只老鼠瞎眼看不见,而另一只正设法使对方咬着自己的尾巴,然后带领同伴一起逃走。
After witnessing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
众人见状,都默然不语,陷入沉思中。吃饭的时候,众人又围着坐下,并开始讨论刚才的两只老鼠。
One serious Rome official said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of emperor and minister." The others thought for a while and said: "That was why!" Thus the Rome official showed his arrogance superciliously.
严肃的罗马长官说:"我认为刚才的两只老鼠是君臣主仆的关系众人思考一会后说原来如此! "于是罗马长官摆出一副高傲的模样。
A smart Israeli said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was husband and wife." Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense; so they expressed assent. There-fore, the Israeli's countenance, showed self-satisfaction.
聪明的以色列人说:"我认为刚才的两只老鼠是夫妇关系。"众人又思考了一会,觉得不错,连声称是。于是以色列人露出一副飘飘然得意的嘴脸。
A Chinese, who was accustomed to the firm tradition of loyalty to parents, said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son. " Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed assent yet another time. Therefore, the face of the Chinese conveyed professional humility.
强调孝义的中国人说:"我认为刚才的两只老鼠是母子关系。"众人又思考了一会,更觉合理,又连声称是。于是中国人的脸上立刻堆满了专业的谦虚。
At that moment, one pure-minded Samaritan who was squatted on the ground resting his chin in his palms, hewilderedly looked at other people, and asked: "Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship? "
此时,单纯的撒玛利亚人蹲在地上托着下巴,呆呆地望着众人,问道:"为什么两只老鼠一定要有什么关系呢? "
Suddenly, the atmosphere froze. Stupefied, the group looked back at the Samaritan and remained speechless. The Rome official, the Israeli and the Chinese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to respond.
空气在刹那之间凝固了,众人呆呆地望着这个撒玛利亚人,不发一语。先前说话的罗马长官、以色列人和中国人都面露惭色地低下头不敢作声。
In fact, the true love is not established on benefit, friendship and loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
事实上,真正的爱并非建立于利益、情义或血缘的关系上,而是建立于"没有任何关系"上。

Because of His Love因爱之名
Job was not a brilliant man. He swept floors for a living. He believed that Tarzan was a real man, and that all those movies were really documentary of Tarzan's life. He was the butt of many jokes, yet he taught me about the essence of a "real man": love and respect for women, honor, kindness and gentleness.
乔布并不起眼,他以打扫楼道为生。他相信在现实生活中,人猿泰山是真实存在的,所有的那些电影都是泰山生活的真实记录片。他是大家取笑的对象,然而他,教会了我"真正的人"应有的品质:爱护与尊重女性、荣耀、善良和亲切。
Job embraced life in unexpected, simple ways. He showed up for work, on time. He never bragged about himself, and he loved only one woman -his wife, Molly. Job filled void a in my life. He was principled straightforward and in my world of dishonor and lies. He loved me as his very own grandchild, even though he was a year younger than my father.
乔布用出人意料的简单方式拥抱生活。他工作准时,从不吹嘘自己,而且只爱一个女人——他的妻子莫莉。乔布填补了我生命中的空白。在我那满布谎言和耻辱的世界里,他是如此有原则和正直。他像爱自己的孙女一样爱我,尽管他比我父亲还小一岁。
I will never forget my graduation from high school. That was a day of hopeless inevitability for me. My father, who was a heavy drinker, began his celebration very early in the day. By the time we congratulated in the high school gymnasium my father had congratulated himself through nearly a case of beer.
我永远也忘不了我高中毕业时的情形。那天对我来说本是注定让人绝望的。我的酒鬼父亲,那天一大早就开始自己狂欢了。当我们在学校体育馆集中庆祝时,他已经浸在几乎一箱啤酒里自己作乐了。
I tried to be invisible within a sea of faces. wanted to run away and disappear. Most of all I wanted was no one to guess whose kid I was. 1 was betrayed by my last name, which began with the letter "A" , so I was the first graduate on the first row. Being a red-head gave me even more exposure, and the becalaureate, speaker, who had never met me, decided to use me as his audio-visual aid.
我尽力让自己在人海里显得毫不起眼。我想逃走。我想消失。我最希望的,就是没人知道我是谁的孩子。可我的姓氏出卖了我。我姓氏的首字母是"A",因此我是第一排的第一个毕业生。满头的红发让我更加显眼,而那个与我从未谋面的毕业致词者,决定把我当作辅助他, "教学的工具 "。
"This young lady, this bright young lady with the bright red hair. " His voice rolled through the auditorium in sonorous phrases, as I sank lower in my seat. Over to my left, at the door of the auditorium, was a seating arrangement for the "elderly". And there sat Molly, age , and Job, age 47, with all of the grandparents. My heart ached when I looked at them, wishing with all my heart that I were, truly, their grandchild.
"这位年轻的女士,这位长着一头亮丽红友的漂亮女士。 "他言词夸张,声音在礼堂里盘旋回响。而座位上的我,却缩得更低了。我左边的礼堂门口处,是给"长者 "的座位区。61岁的莫莉和47岁的乔布跟其他人的祖父母们都坐在那儿。我望着他们,心如刀割。我多么希望我真是他们的孙女。
As the speaker continued with his speech, he reached a point where he had an uncontrollable urge to introduce "all the wonderful people who have made this day possible!"
发言者继续着他的演讲,说到点子上时,他按捺不住内心的激动,要介绍"所有成就了今天毕业礼的了不起的人们!"
"All the siblings of the graduates, please, stand." I slipped lower in my seat, glancing hurriedly around, hoping to remain invisible.
"所有即将毕业的同学们,请起立。"我靠在座位上,身子藏得更低了,眼睛快速地向周围扫视了一下,但愿没人看得见我。
"Now, all the parents, please stand." Dear Lord, I thought, I'm sure my father can't stand, even if he wanted to. I didn't bother to look around.
"现在,所有的父母们,请起立。"我暗地里想:天啊,我敢肯定,就算我父亲想站,他也站不起来了。我甚至看都不用看了。
"Now the grandparents" I closed my eyes, dreading the hopelessness of my situation. I had no grandparent to stand proudly for me. I finally opened my eyes, and there they were, Job and Molly, standing proudly with all the other grandparents. Job looked over at me, his eyes beaming like diamonds.
"现在,祖父母们… "我闭上眼睛,处境让我不堪设想。没有祖父母会为我自豪地站起来。我最后睁开了眼睛,他们站起来了——乔布和美莉,他们所有的祖父母们一起自豪地站起来了。乔布看着我,眼睛里闪烁着钻石般的光芒。
"I'm so proud of you," he smiled as he mouthed the words that I will never forget. I knew that he stood there, not out of duty, but because of his love for me!
"我真为你感到骄傲,"他做着口形说道,说的时候面带笑容,而我将永远也不会忘记这些话。我知道,他站起来并不是出于责任,而是源于他对我的爱!
