中英文小故事：千万别在冬天把树砍倒 我记得有一年冬天爸爸需要柴火。随后，他找到了一棵枯树，就将它锯下来。第二年春天，让他吃惊的是，树干周围发出了新芽。 他说：“我还以为它肯定死了呢。冬天树叶都掉光了。天这样冷，小树枝一折就断，好像老树没有了生命。但是，现在我看到主根还有生命。”他看着我说，“鲍勃，别忘了这个重要教训。千万别在冬天把一棵树砍倒。千万别在人生低谷时作出消极决定。千万别在心情最糟时作出最重要的决定。要等待。要耐心。风暴会过去。春天会来的。” Never Cut a Tree down in Winter I remember one winter my dad needed firewood, and he found a dead tree and sawed it down. In the spring, to his dismay, new shoots sprouted around the trunk. He said, “I thought sure it was dead. The leaves had all dropped in the wintertime. It was so cold that twigs snapped as if there were no life left in the old tree. But now I see that there was still life at the taproot.” He looked at me and said, “Bob，don’t forget this important lesson. Never cut a tree down in winter. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst mood. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.” |
