中英文小故事：重要的不是我们来自哪里 最近，我拜访了一位有花房的朋友。她带我参观她那些花儿，我来到一株最美丽的花儿前，那是一株盛幵的金菊。但让我大为吃惊的是，它长在一个坑坑洼洼、锈迹斑斑的旧桶里。 我暗自想道：“如果这是我养的花儿，我会把它种在最漂亮的花盆里！” 朋友的话改变了我的想法。“种花的罐子用完了，”她解释说。“而且我知道这株金菊肯定会艳压群芳，就想着它不会介意在这个旧桶里开始成长。过一阵子，我就能把它移到花园里了。” 我们和花儿不是一样吗？重要的不是我们来自哪里，也不是我们现在的位置，而是我们将去何方。 The Important Is not Where We Are from Recently I visited a friend who had a greenhouse. As she showed me her flowers, I came to the most beautiful one of all，a golden chrysanthemum in full bloom. But to my great surprise, it was growing in an old, dented and rusty bucket. I thought to myself, “If this were my plant, I'd put it in the loveliest flowerpot I had!” My friend changed my mind. “I ran short of pots," she explained, “and knowing how beautiful this one would be, I thought it wouldn’t mind starting out in this old pail. It’s just for a little while, till I can put it out in the garden.” Aren’t we the same as flowers? The important is not where we are from or what position we are in now, but where we are going. |
