茧cocoon[英][kə'ku:n] [美][kəˈkun] 中英文传说：蝴蝶蜕变 有个人发现了一个茧，它是一个要变成蝴蝶的蛹，一天，茧裂了一道缝，那人就坐下来，连续观察了好几个小时，看它如何挣扎着从小洞中将身体挣脱出来。 一会儿，它看上去不再做任何努力了。这蝴蝶似乎已经竭尽全力，再也无计可施了。于是,他决定助它一臂之力。他拿来一把剪刀,沿着裂缝剪开了其余的硬壳。不一会儿,蝴蝶就轻松地从茧壳里扑腾出来。 但情况有点不妙。蝴蝶挣出壳后显得身体肥大，羽翅皱巴巴的。他继续观察着，期待着它会展开双翅,托着身体振翅飞起。 真是枉费心机！蝴蝶根本无力起飞。事实上，它这一生只能拖着肥胖的身体、未发育成形的羽翅在地上爬来爬去。 这个人确实有菩萨心肠，但心急却往往帮倒忙。他并不明白，困住蝴蝶的茧和为了从裂缝中破茧而出的挣扎是上帝的绝妙安排。只有通过拼命蠕动，双翅才能获得发育的能量。它获得自由的那一天，也就是羽翅成熟之日。 有时,艰辛和磨难是人生的必需品。如果上帝让我们风平浪静地走过一生， 那只会使我们一事无成。我们不仅难以成为意志坚强的人,而且也绝不会有大展宏图的未来。 Butterfly A man discovered a cocoon for a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared,he sat and observed the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and could go no further. Then the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. Something was strange. The butterfly had a swollen body and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body. Nothing happened. It was never able to fly. Actually, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand，was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the small opening of the cocoon is God's way of forcing the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it will be ready for flight once it achieves its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through all our life without any obstacles, that would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Not only that, we could never fly. 中英文例句 He stood there in a cocoon of golden light. 他站在那儿，一柱金光笼罩着他。 ...her innocent desire to envelop her beloved in a cocoon of love... 她想要把心上人包裹在爱中的天真想法 Even though we're living together we walk around in this cocoon of silence... 尽管我们生活在一起，但却形同路人。 You cannot live in a cocoon and overlook these facts. 你不能自己缩在套子里而忽略这些事实。 |
