阳光般的微笑
The sun shone brightly on the ground in front of her feet as she pondered the reality of light.太阳光芒四射地照耀这她脚前这片大地。她在沉思，思考着阳光是怎么一回事: How did light get here? Who made it and why? 它是怎么来到这儿的?谁让它来的?来做什么?
She instinctively stepped into the sun spot and instantly felt warmer, brighter, and fuller of life and energy.她下意识地踏进阳光里，整个人立刻觉得暖和，清醒起来，浑身充满了生机和活力。 The sun wrapped her in comfort and stability for, if nothing else,she could always count on the sun waking her up most mornings.阳光笼罩着她，她感到很舒服很踏实，如果没有其他事情，大多数早晨，她都会让阳光叫她起床。
characterized more so by pain and heartache than comfort and love.太阳那如期而至的光芒就像妈妈一样，虽然她从来就没有感受过母爱，她的童年记忆里满是痛苦和伤心，而不是关怀和爱。
She stepped out of the sunlight and felt that all-too-familiar anxious pang in the pit of her stomach as she remembered how horrible it was to live in her childhood home.她从阳光里走出来，一阵再熟悉不过的恼人的悲痛袭击了她的胸口，让她回忆起童年时的可怕生活。
Memories flooded her mind as she unsuccefully tried to block them out by thinking good thoughts.她努力朝好的方面想，希望能抵挡住如洪水般泛滥的痛苦回忆，但是无济于事。
Oh how she wished she could curl up in the middle of the sun and allow its love to encase her for all eternity.她是多么希望可以蜷缩在温暖的阳光里，让太阳的爱包裹着她直到永远。
But, no, she was stuck here on earth with those who didn\'t feel the sun\'s rays the same way she did,who didn\'t feel deeply connected to this amazing source of life.然而，这是不可能的。她只能在这儿，和其他人一起。其他人不像她一样渴望阳光，也不曾觉得自己与这神奇的生命之源有什么紧密联系。
All she could do was stand in the sun on occasion and shut out the rest of the world for a little while.她唯一能做的就是偶尔站在阳光里，和阳光以外的世界短暂地隔离。 Maybe if she stood here long enough they would cease to exist.她想也许只要一直站在阳光里，外面的世界也就不复存在了。
thoughts and the warmth of the sun as she went inside to take the call.手机响起熟悉的铃声，把她带回到现实，她从温暖的阳光里走出来，进屋接电话。 Another client, another sales pitch, another moment of feeling disconnected from people.又是一个客户，又是一通兜揽生意的套话，又是一阵脱离人群的空虚。
Tonight would be no difference as she would go home and try to make small talk with her husband over the dinner table,all the while wishing she was communing with the sun instead.今晚又会是老样子:回家，尽量在晚餐时和丈夫聊几句，她倒希望这时候和自己交流的是太阳。
Just as she was feeling really sorry for herself, she was met with a smile from a perfect stranger, paing through the office.正当她为自己难过的时候，她看到一个完全陌生的人在对着她微笑，微笑穿透了整个房间。 The feeling created by the smile reminded her of something very familiar.这个微笑带给她一种似曾相识的感觉。
She paused, reflecting on the sensation deep inside of her and realized that she just felt the sun shining on her, only this time it was in the form of another human being.她愣了一会儿，回想起刚才内心深处的感受，顿时明白了那是阳光的温暖，只不过这次带给她这种感觉的是一个活生生的人。
Funny how she had been smiled at a million times before, but this was the first time she felt the actual eence of it.然而有趣的是，千千万万的人都对她微笑过，这次却是她第一次感受到微笑的真谛。
At that moment she saw that humans have as much of the sun in them as the sun itself;they\'re just not used to letting themselves shine.就在那一刻，她发觉在人身上也有像太阳一样的热情，只是人们不习惯表达这种热情而已。 “Why bother when very few of us embody this? Why does it matter since we\'re all just out for ourselves?”
既然大家都不太愿意表达，我们又何必自找麻烦呢?反正我们只代表着自己，都只为自己而活? She now knew that all it took was one smile—one ray of light to change the world, for in that smile shines the entire force that is the giver of all that is.现在她明白了，仅仅一个微笑，一道光芒，就可以改变整个世界，这个微笑闪耀着微笑者的整个光辉。
One smile paed from stranger to stranger will lighten the whole world.人人都以微笑示人，那么这一道光芒就能照亮全世界。
Love is the answer to every question.爱是所有问题的答案。 Why are we here? —Love.我们为何来到这个世界上？因为爱。 Where do we come from? —Love.我们从哪里来？来自爱。
How do we create world peace? —Love.我们怎么创造世界和平?通过爱。
simplistic to the modern human being, since we want to analyze and look for complex answers to questions.这对当今的人们来说，未免过于简单，因为我们喜欢复杂地分析问题并且希望得到复杂的答案。
We don\'t believe that life is simple and the answers to its problems can also be simple: love.我们不相信生活是简单的，也不相信生活中所有问题的答案也是简简单单的一个字:爱。 In truth, what are anger, sadne, pain but the soul\'s desire for love? 事实上，与灵魂对于爱的渴求相比，愤怒，悲伤，痛苦对于灵魂而言简直不名一文。 If we learn to love ourselves without reservation, and to love the world in the same way, the answer is simple.如果我们能毫无保留地爱自己，并且同样地爱这个世界，那么答案就十分简单了。 It is impoible, when filled with love, to be aggreive or hate-filled or violent.当心中充满爱的时候，我们是不可能崇尚暴力，并充满仇恨情绪的。
When we know that we are beautiful and wonderful, we see the world through those eyes.
We see the beauty and wonder in all things around us.我们会发现周围的事物有多么美好，有多么奇妙。
We don\'t need to look outside ourselves for the love we seek.It has been there all along.要寻找爱，我们只需要看到自己就可以了。其实爱一直在我们自己身上， It is the voice of our self-esteem.爱是我们自尊的呼声，
It is our anger saying, Hey this is not right for me.I don\'t want this in my life any longer.是我们愤怒地喊出的那句话:嗨，不能这样对我，我再也不想这样了。 Self-love is saying no to abuse and betrayal.自爱会告诉你不要以恶待人，
It is wanting the very best for yourself and accepting only that in your life.也不要做出背叛他人的事情。她希望你表现出最好的一面， It is healing the wounds that you have carried all your life.在你的一生中，她也只允许你这么做。她会抚平你一生中的伤口。
Self-love is walking away from those who mistreat you, knowing that you deserve better.自爱会让你离开不善待你的人，因为她知道你应该过得更好。
It is taking the risk to pursue the career that will bring you joy.她会让你冒险去尝试能带给你快乐的事业。
It is listening to your own inner voice: the one that will always guide you to what is best.她会倾听你内心的声音，那个声音会引领你找到最美好的事物。
It is trusting in yourself completely.自爱是完完全全相信自己。
Self-love is following that little voice within that says, Oh I want to do that today.当你心里想:哦,我想今天做这件事。自爱就会支持这个小小的念头。 Sometimes it means ignoring the voice of „shoulds\' and „have-tos\'.有时，自爱就意味着不要在意那些应该和必须，
It is believing that, when you seek what you desire and fill yourself with joy, you will also be spreading that joy to those around you.她相信你因寻找自己梦想而满心愉悦的时候，你也会把那份快乐带给周围的其他人。 Love will fill you up so you will know there is nothing miing in your life.当爱一直陪伴你左右的时候，你会发现一生当中你没有错过任何事情。 Love will lead you to every answer.爱，会告诉你所有答案。
Three Days to See 假如给我三天光明
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live.我们大家都读过一些令人激动的故事，这些故事里的主人公仅仅活在有限并且特定的时间内，
Sometimes it was as long as a year; 有时长达一年，
sometimes as short as twenty-four hours.
But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours.但我们总是想要知道，注定要离世人的会选择如何度过自己最后的时光。
I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice,not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.当然，我说的是那些有选择权利的自由人，而不是那些活动范围受到严格限定的死囚。
Such stories set us thinking,wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.这样的故事让我们思考，在类似的处境下，我们该做些什么？
What events, what experiences, what aociations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? 作为终有一死的人，在临终前的几个小时内我们应该做什么事，经历些什么或做哪些联想？ What happine should we find in reviewing the past,what regrets? 回忆往昔，什么使我们开心快乐？什么又使我们悔恨不已？
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.有时我想，把每天都当作生命中的最后一天来边，也不失为一个极好的生活法则。
这种态度会使人格外重视生命的价值。
We should live each day with a gentlene, a vigor,and a keenne of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come.我们每天都应该以优雅的姿态，充沛的精力，抱着感恩之心来生活。但当时间以无休止的日，月和年在我们面前流逝时，我们却常常没有了这种子感觉。
There are those, of course,who would adopt the Epicurean motto of \"Eat, drink, and be merry,\" 当然，也有人奉行“吃，喝，享受”的享乐主义信条，
but most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.但绝大多数人还是会受到即将到来的死亡的惩罚。 Most of us, however, take life for granted.然而，我们中的大多数人都把生命看成是理所当然的。
We know that one day we must die,but usually we picture that day as far in the future.我们知道有一天我们必将面对死亡，但总认为那一天还在遥远的将来。 When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable.当我们身强体健之时，死亡简直不可想象， We seldom think of it.我们很少考虑到它。
The days stretch out in an endle vista.日子多得好像没有尽头。
So we go about our petty tasks,hardly aware of our listle attitude toward life.因此我们一味忙于琐事，几乎意识不到我们对待生活的冷漠态度。
The same lethargy, I am afraid,characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses.我担心同样的冷漠也存在于我们对自己官能和意识的运用上。
Only the deaf appreciate hearing,only the blind realize the manifold bleings that lie in sight.只有聋子才理解听力的重要，只有盲人才明白视觉的可贵，
Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life.这尤其适用于那些成年后才失去视力或听力之苦的人很少充分利用这些宝贵的能力。 But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these bleed faculties.他们的眼睛和耳朵模糊地感受着周围的景物与声音，心不在焉，也无所感激。
Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily,without concentration and with little appreciation.他们对所见所闻不关注，不欣赏。
It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it,of not being conscious of health until we are ill.这与常说的不失去不懂得珍贵，不生病不知道健康可贵的道理是一样的。
