从早上开始，我一直兴奋不已，因为我下午要去参加詹敏音乐派对。

下午3点半，我把《花儿与少年》的曲谱放入口袋里，又把U盘放入衣服口袋，和爸爸一起前往了詹敏音乐教室。

“你是我的小呀小苹果，怎么爱你……”一阵好听的音乐响了起来。哦，原来已经开始表演了，让我遗憾的是：很少有弹琴的节目。但是我告诉你，最后有一个神秘嘉宾哦！

给我印象最深的是周雅妮表演的2个小魔术。第一个是橡皮筋。一根普普通通的橡皮筋，将它套在一只手的食指和中指上，吹一口“仙气”，橡皮筋就跳到了无名指和小指上。“好哦”周雅妮的魔术赢得了满堂喝彩。第二个是硬币穿杯子，一个杯子，一个盘子，两个硬币，一个硬币放入盘子里，一个拿在手里，把杯子倒扣在盘子里，手轻轻地把硬币一敲，“叮咚”一声，就把硬币敲到里面去了。“真不简单！”我想。

到我了，我拿着谱子，小心翼翼地走到台上，自我介绍起来：大家好，我叫……”，我说完后，演奏了起来，行云流水的音符让我放松下来。一曲终了，我谢幕。詹老师问：“这位姐姐弹得好吗？”“好！”听了小观众们的回答，我心里美滋滋。

最后，我来向大家揭晓神秘嘉宾的真正面目，他就是——拜伦先生，拜伦是詹敏老师的一位外国朋友，为我们带来了一首歌——马槽歌。演唱完毕，詹老师给5月份——11月份过生日的小朋友发了一套文具，当然我也有一份。“吃蛋糕了”。一盒蛋糕，风卷残云地被大家吃掉了。

下次如果还有这种派对，我还来参加。

The significant inscription found on an old key "If I rest, I rust" would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest taint of idleness. Even the most industrious might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示：如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture --- every department of human endeavor.

有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业：科学，艺术，文学，农业等。

Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer

勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家爱德蒙斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为著名的天文学家。

Labor vanquishes all --- not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor, but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。
