纯真的故事

04月 21st, 2008 admin Posted in 公益 | No Comments »

故事一

有个小镇己经很久没有下雨了,村里的农作物都干涸而死。一个牧师召集镇里的人一齐来教会祁雨。在拥挤的人群中站着一个个子很矮的小女孩。这时牧师指着小女孩说:”她的行为令我感动!”在场的人都把目光指向小女孩,原来小女孩身上带着一只小雨伞呢!

故事二

一个年轻女子搬到一间公寓,邻居住着一对贫穷的寡妇及一个小女孩。一个风雨交加的台风夜,熄了灯,四周围顿时一片漆黑。年轻女子于是点了蜡蠋。邻居小女孩在外面敲门:”请问阿姨你有没有蜡蠋呀?”年轻女子心想,这穷人家一定是要来跟我借蜡蠋,回答道:”没有。”女孩在门外大声的说:”阿姨,我就知道你一定没有蜡蠋,我跟您带来两根蜡蠋。”年轻女子听了开启门来,不禁搂着女孩抱头痛哭。

看看上面这两个纯真的故事,不觉的脸红心跳。对照这两个故事,想想自己离纯真有多远了。你对自己的信仰有故事中那小女孩般的坚信吗?当别人对你心怀不诡的时候,你曾经毫无怀疑的对待过别人吗?

纯真的”纯”意味着什么?坚信、不猜忌、没有不好的思想念头、没有杂质等。”真”意味着真实、本来的面貌。

刚出生的小孩儿是纯真的,人的本性原本是无私的。由于后天形成的观念、经验,让自己开始有了私心,学会保护自己、怕自己受到伤害,衍生到让怀疑、猜忌等不良的习性在主宰着自己。人一旦失去了”纯真”的本性取而代之的就是欺骗和虚伪、自私和贪婪。

当一个三岁的小孩站在你面前,你肯定不会对他有什么不好的想法;然而,当一个陌生的成年人站在你面前,你很容易对他产生防卫心。如果是这样的话,是不是说我们每个人除了小孩儿外,都离纯真太远了。

多么希望从我们自身的心灵做起,能像故事中的小女孩那般纯真、善良、无私。

     春节回来一直都能忙,也懒的写日志流水账,到我这个年龄除了拼命的赚钱和想办法赚钱以外,业余时间已经很少很少了,爱好也被时间一点点的蚕食,单位新搬个地方,北京的朋友可能知道,金源时代商务写字楼,离家也很远很远,上班非常不方便,每天同事开车接我,还算有点安慰,不用挤公交已是万幸,我也不再奢求什么,只是睡眠严重不足,每天还要干很多事情,已经两周了,生物钟还是没有调整过来,比以往要早起一个半小时多,身体也大不如从前了,跑几步就累的不行了…

         马上要奔三了,也要开始自己创业了,知道创业更累更辛苦,但是还是要坚持一下,不管是否能成功,但是我也要给自己机会,如果不行动永远也没机会的,只能平庸一辈子,没有什么基础,一切只能靠自己努力,坚持下去,幸福就在不远的地方。

很强大!新东方剖析陈冠希英文道歉信(全文)

03月 4th, 2008 admin Posted in 学习 | No Comments »

前言:真的没想到陈冠希会用全英文做道歉陈述,虽然知道他是CBC(Canadian Born Chinese),但英文水平还是让我佩服。他500多字的道歉信, 用词准确地道,词汇难度较高,包含了50多个考研(雅思)核心词汇,经过改编完全可以成为一篇高质量的考研完形填空,或雅思阅读理解。Edison这小子虽然”猥琐”,但英文用词的难度达到了考研英语(国内最变态英语考试)的要求,如果参加雅思考试估计8分以上不成问题。  推荐理由: 超敬业的同声翻译, 不仅翻译准确及时, 而且激情投入感情充沛,让人感觉就像是自己刚刚拍了艳照被人发现.

  Today I have come back to Hong Kong to stand before you and account for myself. I have never escaped from my responsibility. During the past few weeks, I have been with my mother and my family and my loved ones to show support and care and at the same time to have them support and care for me.

  核心词汇解析

  escape=es(ex=out) + cape(catch)

  I admit that most of the photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me. But these photos are very private and have not been shown to people and are never intended to be shown to anyone. These photos were stolen from me illegally and distributed without my consent.

  核心词汇解析

There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos have them uploaded on the Internet with malicious and deliberate intent. This matter has deteriorated to theextent that society as a whole has been affected by this. In this regard, I am deeply saddened. I would like now to apologize to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this. I would like to apologize to all the ladies and to all their families for any harm or hurt that they have been feeling. I am sorry. I would like to also apologize to my mother and my father for the pain and suffering I have caused them

  during the past few weeks. Most importantly, I would like to say sorry to all the people of Hong Kong . I give my apology sincerely to you all, unreservedly and with my heart.

  一直到现在,英国的法院门口还站立着古希腊象征法律精神的正义女神(DICE)的雕像,她左手拿着神圣的天平Libra,象征着权衡和平等;右手拿着宝剑,象征着裁决和力量;眼睛被布蒙着,象征绝对的公正无私。

  deliberate = de(强调) + libera(=libra) + ate a. 深思熟虑的, 故意的 [助记] 把你的想法放在天平上称量,引申为深思熟虑的,深思熟虑的结果当然是故意的

  liberate = liber (自由=libera)+ ate vt.解放(让人民获得自由)

  自由和天平有什么关系呢?

  天平的主要作用就是要让两边重量相等,平等。解放全人类不就是让人民平等吗?人民解放军PLA:People’s Liberation Army liberation的职责就是解放全中国让中国人民平等自由

  liberty n.自由

  libertine这个单词叫”浪荡子”,原来就是“特别自由的人”的意思,” 挺(tin)自由(liber)的”

  libido弗洛伊德的著作里面,他造出一个表示“性动力”的单词libido(中文翻译成“利比多”),表达的就是这种本源的不受控制的力量。

I know young people in Hong Kong look up to many figures in our society. And in this regard, I have failed. I failed as a role model. However, I wish this matter will teach everyone a lesson. To all the young people in our community, let this be a lesson for you all. This is not an example to be set for you.

  核心词汇解析

  During my time away, I have made an important decision. I will whole-heartedly fulfill all commitments that I have to date.

  I have been assisting the police since the first day the photos were published and I will continue to assist them. After this press con., I have obligation to help them with their investigation and hope that this case can end soon as everyone I think has the same wish.

  核心词汇解析

  assist = as(to) + sist(stand) vt. (站在一旁来) 协助

  press con. = press conference 新闻发布会

  press free. = press freedom 言论自由

  press 是“压”的意思,怎么会变成“新闻”,“言论”呢?

  因为最初的报纸都是油墨印刷,需要把纸紧紧的压在刻版上才能印刷出字来.所以press有了一个引申意:n.出版业,印刷业. 出版印刷业不就是发布新闻和言论的阵地吗?

  obligation n.义务

  investigation n.调查

I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case. Thank you. I believe everyone’s priority now (and) my priority now is to stop the suffering and pain, for not letting this…we do not want to let this situation become more out of control. We need to protect all the inno cents and all the young from matters like this. In this regard, I have instructed my lawyers to do everything possible within the law to protect all the innocents, victims of this case. I believe that a press statement is being issued

  innocent = in + no + cent(一分钱) [助忆]兜里没有一分钱, 所以没有偷窃, 是无辜的

  a. 无辜的, 天真的

  instruct = in + struct(构造) vt.传授,告知 [助记]内心中去构建知识或信息

  Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for coming here today and listening to what I have to say. I would like to also apologize once again to all the ladies and their families, my family and to everyone in Hong Kong and everyone in our society. I am deeply saddened by this. And I apologize to everyone (who) has to go through this. I would like to also thank you for giving me this opportunity to say what I have wanted to say all along in my heart.

  I hope, after today, I can have your forgiveness. With regard to this case, with everything, everything that has happened, I am deeply sorry. I hope you all accept my apology and give me a chance. Thank you.

逾越一朵花的距离

02月 25th, 2008 admin Posted in 公益 | No Comments »

香子兰是一种豆科植物,它在花落后会结出豆荚形的果实。成熟的香子兰果实晒干变黑后,就会成为散发浓郁香味的香料,这种香料,可以被广泛用于食品和化妆品。由于产量低,其价格仅次于藏红花,是世界第二昂贵的调味”香料之王”。最初,香子兰只生长在墨西哥,这是因为只有墨西哥特有的长鼻蜂才能给它授粉结果。因为香子兰果实的珍稀与贵重,当地的印第安人部落经常为争夺它发生武力冲突。

1793年,南印度洋留尼汪火山岛上的居民引进了香子兰和为之授粉的长鼻蜂。那年春天,香子兰在岛上生长茂盛,并开出了淡黄色的花朵,这令留尼汪人很高兴。但令人们想不到的是,那些长鼻蜂竟然出了问题:它们无法适应火山岛上的生活,最后都死去了,而当地蜜蜂对这种外来植物毫无兴趣。

香子兰的花期短暂,每朵花只开一天,没有授粉者,就意味着这些花朵全部凋谢也结不出一颗果实,人们心急如焚,却只能眼看着花谢而绝望。

一天,一个心有不甘的留尼汪人偶然用手捻了一下一朵香子兰花的花心,没想到这一捻竟捻出了奇迹,不久以后,这株香子兰结出了香喷喷的果实。这样,岛上的人们才知道,香子兰是雌雄同体的植物,没有长鼻蜂,人工也可以为它授粉。这个发现,使得香子兰的足迹开始遍及世界。

如今,每当香子兰花开时,人们只要随身带一个长长的针,刺一下花心,就成了授粉任务。

香子兰的故事告诉我们,有时,希望与我们只相隔一朵花的距离,有些人因为无动于衷、消极等待而失之交臂,而有些人只是动了一下手指,奇迹就在眼前出现了。
