打開生命的窗

內(nèi)容概要

　　人生于世，不過是匆匆過客。急急流年，滔滔逝水。生命中沒有什么恒久不變的風(fēng)景。我們的理智使我們一次次看透人生，我們的激情又使我們一次次重受蒙蔽。生命原本就是一場得失共存的行走，既然來走了這一遭，那就千山萬水，隨意行去。透過這一篇篇的哲理故事，打開通向靈魂的窗戶，在一花一木中抵達(dá)生命的豁然之境。作為雙語讀物，《打開生命的窗》為中英雙語對照版，既是英語學(xué)習(xí)愛好者、文學(xué)愛好者的必備讀物，也是忙碌現(xiàn)代人的一片憩息心靈的家園，讓讀者在欣賞原法原味和凝練生動的英文時，還能多角度、深層次地品讀語言特色與藝術(shù)之美，再配合文章后附加的多功能、全方位鞏固題型，更有助于理解并學(xué)習(xí)英文。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　窗外的芙蓉樹　　The Trees Outside My Window　　佚名 / Anonymous　　From the window of my room， I could see a tall cotton-rose hibiscus. In spring， when green foliage was half hidden by mist， the tree looked very enchanting dotted with red blossom. This inspiring neighbor of mine often set my mind working. I gradually regarded it as my best friend.　　Nevertheless， when I opened the window one morning， to my amazement， the tree was almost bare beyond recognition as a result of the storm ravages the night before. Struck by the plight， I was seized with a sadness at the thought “all the blossom is doomed to fall”. I could not help sighing with emotion： the course of life never runs smooth， for there are so many ups and downs， twists and turns. The vicissitudes of my life saw my beloved friends parting one after another. Isn’t it similar to the tree shedding its flowers in the wind？　　This event faded from my memory as time went by. One day after I came home from the countryside， I found the room stuffy and casually opened the window. Something outside caught my eye and dazzled me. It was a plum tree all scarlet with blossom set off beautifully by the sunset. The surprise discovery overwhelmed me with pleasure. I wondered why I had no idea of some unyielding life sprouting over the fallen petals when I was grieving for the hibiscus.　　When the last withered petal dropped， all the joyful admiration for the hibiscus sank into oblivion as if nothing was left， until the landscape was again ablaze with the red plum blossom to remind people of life’s alternation and continuance. Can’t it be said that life is actually a symphony， a harmonious composition of loss gain？　　Standing by the window lost in thought for a long time， I realized that no scenery in the world remains unchanged. As long as you keep your heart basking in the sun， every dawn will present a fine prospect for you to unfold and the world will always be bringing about new hopes.　　透過我房間的窗子，可以看到一株高大的芙蓉樹。它在春日的薄霧中若隱若現(xiàn)，紅花點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，甚是迷人。它總能給我靈感，使我文思泉涌。我逐漸把它當(dāng)成了最好的朋友?！　∪欢惶煸绯?，當(dāng)我把窗子打開時，吃驚地發(fā)現(xiàn)前夜的那場風(fēng)雨竟將芙蓉樹吹打得落紅滿地。霎時，那種“花開終有落”的悲涼之感襲上心頭，我不禁喟嘆：人生之旅，總會有各種牽絆，曲折的經(jīng)歷總會伴隨著我們。我曾多次承受與摯友離別的傷感，這隨風(fēng)而逝的花朵不正是脆弱生命的真實(shí)寫照嗎？　　那天的感觸隨著時間的流逝在我的記憶中逐漸被淡忘。一天，我從鄉(xiāng)下回到家中，覺得室內(nèi)的空氣令人窒息，便隨手將窗子打開。眼前的景象頓時讓我驚呆了。一棵李子樹滿樹都開了火紅的花朵，在落日余暉的映照下顯得格外漂亮。這驚奇的發(fā)現(xiàn)讓我興奮不已。當(dāng)初我為落紅的芙蓉樹悲傷時，卻沒想到那凄涼景象背后，竟會萌生出如此頑強(qiáng)的生命?！　‘?dāng)最后一片枯萎的芙蓉花瓣飄落時，人們不再對它贊美欣賞。直到李子樹成長起來，那火紅的花兒正向人們昭示著生命的更迭與繁衍。誰能否認(rèn)生命原本就是一場得失共存的交響樂呢？　　我站在窗前，不禁思緒萬千。我意識到，生命中沒什么恒久不變的風(fēng)景，只要你的心永遠(yuǎn)朝著太陽，那么每一個清晨都會向你展現(xiàn)一番美景，等待你去欣賞——這個世界總會帶給你新的希望。　　心靈小語　　生命中沒什么恒久不變的風(fēng)景，只要你的心永遠(yuǎn)朝著太陽，那么每一個清晨都會向你展現(xiàn)一番美景，等你去欣賞——這個世界總會帶給你新的希望。　　記憶填空　　1.

It has often helped me to retain a good measure of equanimity under stress and hardship as well as when some unexpected success or good luck might have made me too exuberant. There is hope and consolation in the sure knowledge that even the darkest hours of pains and troubles won’t last， but also a warning against overrating the passing glories of wealth， power and great good fortune. A warning and a hope， not only for the individual， but also for governments， nations and their leaders， a brief summing up of all that history and human experience can tell us. And beyond all that we might hear in it an echo of the law and order that holds our universe in safe balance.　　“月盈則虧，晦則明。”　　——中國古諺　　這句中國的古語里有種平靜的智慧，它最初是一個中國佛教寺院中的一位和尚告訴我的，這句話給我的印象很深刻。從那時起，每當(dāng)我遭遇困難阻礙，或者遇到可能使我過于興奮的成功或好運(yùn)的時候，這句話總能幫我保持鎮(zhèn)定。這句話啟示我們，不論痛苦或困難的時刻有多么暗淡，它們不會長久持續(xù)下去，我們因此會感到希望和寬慰；這句話同時也警示我們，財(cái)富、權(quán)力或鴻運(yùn)當(dāng)頭的榮耀，都不過是過眼云煙，我們不必太放在心上。無論對于個人還是對于國家、民族乃至其領(lǐng)袖，這則諺語都是警示和希望，而且它還是歷史與人類發(fā)展所給予我們的簡要總結(jié)。除此之外，我們從這句話里面還可以聆聽到使宇宙保持平衡狀態(tài)的法則與秩序的回聲?！　⌒撵`小語　　月盈則虧，晦則明。不論痛苦或困難的時刻有多么暗淡，它們不會長久持續(xù)下去；財(cái)富、權(quán)力或鴻運(yùn)當(dāng)頭的榮耀，也都不過是過眼云煙?！　?.
