There have been a lot of ways of acquiring knowledge. And the number is

increasing unexpectedly owing to the popularization of modern mass media.

However, reading books has always been the major and convenient approach to

knowledge. One may acquire most of his knowledge through reading books, since

they can be carried easily and read leisurely everywhere at any time. Another

equally important means of acquiring knowledge is through practice, especially

learning from others. It is unlikely for a person to get all-round knowledge by

merely reading books. As a matter of fact, genuine knowledge comes from

practice.

Although books and practice are indispensable to the enrichment of one’s

knowledge, other means shouldn’t be turned aside. With the development of IT

industry, people tend to hunt for knowledge by means of Internet. Internet is

changing people’s traditional approaches to knowledge. It has found its way into

every field of the world.

屈原是中华民族心中永远的痛，也是留给世人永远的感动。前事不忘，后世之师，痛定思痛，我们应做的是透过屈原个例，来窥测悲剧的原因。

屈原只是一滴水，但滴水藏海，背后是深广的社会背景和独特的个人性格特征。

屈原有才干，有远见，对楚国忠心耿耿，却被楚怀王流斥，又被顷襄王流放，直到怀石自沉汨罗。

悲剧的背后，是朝廷的昏庸。

政治清明的朝廷，应当选贤授能，亲贤臣，远小人。

而楚国恰恰相反，君王亲近靳尚、令尹子兰等小人，疏远了忠心耿耿的屈原。上官大夫跟屈原一同在朝为官，想争得楚怀王的宠信，内心嫉妒屈原的才能。上官大夫就在怀王面前讲屈原的坏话：“大王叫屈原起草宪令，大家没有谁不知道的。每当一项法令制度定出来，屈原就夸耀他的功劳，认为‘除了我就没有谁能制定得出来’。”怀王很生气，因而疏远了屈原。

偏信小人谗言，疏远赤胆忠臣，这不是昏庸是什么？

当秦国割让汉中一带的地方给楚国来讲和的时候。楚王说：“不愿意的地方，愿意得到张仪就甘心了。”张仪听了说：“用一个张仪抵汉中的地方，请您让我到楚国去。”到了楚国，又用丰厚的礼物贿赂楚国当权的大臣靳尚，让他在怀王的宠姬郑袖的面前编造谎言。怀王居然听信了郑袖的话，又放走了张仪。念私利而不顾大局，纵虎归山，这不是昏庸是什么？

屈原悲剧的另一个原因，是其自我圣化的道德理想主义。

屈原总是将自己圣化，圣化成一个操守高洁的君子。

他确实操守高洁。他总是以圣人的姿态引导楚王，努力使之成为像尧舜那样的圣王，从而使楚国的政治走入正道；他总是从高悬而无根基的道德层面去评判现实中的楚王。其结果总是发现现实中的楚王与理想之间存在着距离。

当然，屈原的自我圣化，并非为了自作圣王，而是为了以圣人的姿态辅助圣王，从而建立一个人间天国——道德理想国。屈原将自己的理想政治称之为“美政”：“莫足与为美政兮，吾将从彭咸之所居。”他愿意以自相殉这个“美政”，可是，现实却击碎了他的理想乌托邦。

这种自我圣化，这种在不可能的情况下追逐的道德理想，可以说是他悲剧的重要原因。

滴水藏海看屈原，我们看到了很多，我们也思考了许多。

there are gains for all our losses,

there are balms for all our pain;

but when youth, the dream, departs

it takes something from our hearts,

and it never comes again.

we are stronger, and are better,

under manhood’s sterner reign;

still we feel that something sweet

followed youth, with flying feet,

and will never come again.

something beautiful is vanished,

and we sigh for it in vain;

we behold it everywhere,

on the earth, and in the air,

but it never comes again!

如果说母爱如水，那么父爱是山;如果说母爱是涓涓小溪，那么父爱就是滚滚流云。是啊，父亲的爱，就像一座大山一样肃穆而坚定。

对于爸爸，我很敬佩。十五年来，从我记事起的那天开始，与爸爸发生的一点一滴都深刻我心：第一次描写爸爸，写他的幽默，写他的严肃，写他的和蔼可亲。写他的聪明和智慧，写他与我妈妈之间发生的种种趣事……。

这点点滴滴的幸福，早已刻骨铭心了!

爸爸的肩膀是我避风的港湾，那宽大的肩膀上面，是属于我的一片温暖的天地。小时候，爸爸总是牵着我的手，教我学走路，领我过马路，和我一起逛超市，当然还有妈妈的陪同。

如果上帝要拿所有的财富和我交换这些刻在我脑海里的美好记忆，我也决不会答应。

有一次我感冒了，直烧到42、6度。爸爸刚下班回家，看到满脸通红、迷迷糊糊的我，眼睛里闪过一丝着急。他用许多的冰块给我冷敷，我的高烧稍微退了一点，爸爸放心了不少。爸爸让妈妈先去休息，他陪我。可妈妈说爸爸陪了我好久，太累了，就让他先休息。爸爸拗不过妈妈，只好去休息，临走前他微笑着说：“一个小时后换班!”

果然，一个小时之后，爸爸准时来到我屋里换妈妈去休息，我的房间里很热，爸爸最怕热了!我不知道他是如何度过那漫长的一个小时的，而且让我最感动的是当爸爸看到我口渴的时候，为我倒了一杯水。他慢慢地弯下身子，将水杯轻轻地贴在我的嘴唇处，小心翼翼地往我口里倒水，温热的液体缓缓流入我的喉咙。

我永远忘不了爸爸喂我喝水时的那种眼神，那是一种慈爱，一种怜惜……爸爸的眼神是复杂的，犹如大海一样，深邃的看不到底!睡着以后，我出了一身汗，烧退了。第二天，爸爸带着“熊猫眼”和疲倦的身子上班去了。

父爱是沈甸甸的，实实在在的，我不能用华丽的词语形容，更无法直接表达。父爱，在我心中印得最深，影响最大。

父爱，那是一座高高的、稳固的山，我在山的庇护下，快乐地成长……

Christmas is the most important festival in the western world. It falls on

December 25th. When my mother and I stayed in America, we were invited by one of

my mothers friends to have Christmas with an American family. We bought some

presents for our American friends on our way to their house.They had prepared

different kinds of gifts for their family and guests when we got to their house,

such as Christmas candles, cakes, cards, little toys, biscuits and so on. A

Christmas tree was placed in the comer of the brilliant hall. How beautiful it

was! We were impressed by these. We had a big meal. After dinner, they told us

some interesting stories about Christmas. We learned that Christmas had

something to do with God. We went to bed at midnight. Though we knew the Santa

Claus was not true, we were still waiting for the Santa Claus with white beard

to bring us presents.And we received many beautiful presents the next

morning.This Christmas was really unforgettable. Not only did I have a good

time, but also I knew something about foreign culture.

我们班有一位小书迷，他性格十分温和，不管是谁，不管你的脾气如何暴躁，都能和他无忧无虑，快乐无比地玩到一块儿。他身材瘦削，有一张粉嘟嘟的脸蛋，加上他那水灵灵的大眼睛，让他可爱无比。

他是一个小书迷，记得有一次周末，我约他到小区广场一起玩游戏，可是，我一直在广场等，等了半天也没见他的影子。我实在等得不耐烦了，于是狂奔到了他家，果然不出我所料，他正在家里津津有味地看书呢，原来他看得入了迷，都忘了我们的约定，算了，我不怪他!谁叫他是小书迷呢!他趁机参观了他的书柜，哇，各种类型的书看得我眼花缭乱，漫画书的影子基本没有，课外知识的书居多。我在他面前做了好多个鬼脸，讲了无数个笑话，摆了数不清的搞笑动作，但他却仍然在津津有味地看书。我想：“反正他不可能看几个小时的，干脆就在这里等。”于是我在他家玩了又玩，不知不觉我困了，慢慢进入了梦乡，等我醒来，发现天色渐渐暗了，可他还在津津有味地看书，这种废寝忘食的境界，是我所不能及的，我感到无比惭愧。

俗话说“每个人都不十全十美的。”小书迷也是有缺点的哦，他有个奇怪的缺点，就是“电脑迷”，记得有一次，我在他家里玩，他突然对我说：“高博文，你过来一下。”我不知道他要干什么，却还是跟他去了。只见他手伸到沙发底下，拿出一台电脑，迅速打开玩了起来，直到他妈妈回来了他才不情愿得放下电脑。哈哈，原来小书迷还有不一样的一面啊!

我想你应该知道他是谁了吧!他就是我的同学——杨乐添，你想认识他吗?

Every year, June 7th and 8th are the big days for high school students,

because they will take part in the college entrance exam, which is considered

the exam to change their lives. The media give full attention to these students

and many moving incidents have been reported every years. Such as the students

who went to the wrong classroom and in the last few minutes, the policeman

helped them reach the right destination. Parents are also the targets that catch

the medias attention. Many parents are waiting outside while their children are

doing the test. When the students meet trouble during their ways to the

classrooms, people will do what they can do to help them without asking for

return. It is so nice for these people who offer help in this great days. They

are the loveliest people in the world.

Today is Mother’s Day. I know some of my classmates are going to help their mothers with the housework, others .are going to buy some flowers for their mothers. I want to say to her that I love her very much. But as a boy, it is a bit difficult for me to show my heart. I think only girls can do that.

今天是母亲节。我知道我的一些同学打算帮妈妈做些家务，其他人。打算给妈妈买一些花。我想对她说，我很爱她。但作为一个孩子，这是我给我的心脏有点困难。我想只有女生才这样做。

My mother is very kind. She takes care of me day and night.

我妈妈是个非常善良的。她照顾我的白天和黑夜。

She spends little money, but buys anything for me that I need.

她自己很少花钱，但能给我买任何东西，我需要。

This time I must show my love. I am going to give her a card and write like this, I love you, mother! I am going to put it under her pillow.

这一次我要展现我的爱。我打算送她一张写有“我爱你，妈妈!我打算把它放在她的枕头。

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. Thats impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. Thats not up to the opportunity. Thats up to you. It doesnt matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

When we are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of

parent aldiscip line even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have

to be governed by teachers in school and endure parents ramble at home. These

are our growing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance may

trouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentioned

above are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. Fore

xample, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss them

gradually. Its hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in the age

that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence a

fflictsus a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts

of our lives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us

from happiness.

每天公鸡“喔喔”叫鸣时，总会有一个勤劳的身影正默默无闻地打扫着社区花园和楼道，这个身影就是朴实的门卫刘阿姨。

早晨，我背着书包精神饱满、抬头挺胸地下到院子，去往学校。天空被蓝色的墨水染成蓝色，上面镶嵌着棉花似的白云。花台上的花开得五颜六色，一滴滴晶莹的露水，安安静静地睡在清香的花瓣上，吸一口气，哇，真清新呀!“咦，怎么着空气中有一股灰尘味。”我不有自主地咳嗽起来。从我身后传来一阵“沙沙”声。

什么声音呀?我挠挠头，皱着眉毛，回头一看，原来是尽责尽责的门卫刘阿姨呀!我走过去，亲切地叫了一声：“刘阿姨。”“嗯”。刘阿姨笑着答应了一声。只见她穿着一件红色的外套，一条灰色运动裤，扎着一个高高的马尾辫，十分精神。记得那一次，有一个小偷来到了我们社区，刘阿姨发现了，他按兵不动，那个小偷正想翻门，可好几次都没成功，刘阿姨偷偷拿出手机，报了警。

她拿着铁盒，蹑手蹑脚地走到小偷背后，以迅雷不及掩耳之速把铁盒重重的打在了小偷的头上，一下子小偷翻了翻白眼，昏倒在地。这时，警察们也来了，将小偷缉拿归案。这一举动引起了全社区的轰动，大家都觉得刘阿姨是个称职的门卫。我脑子里回忆着。“在想什么呢?”刘阿姨用温柔的的声音问。

“没什么，没什么。”我大声的回答。我目不转睛地看着刘阿姨，只见她右手紧握扫把，左手抓着簸箕，右手用力摆动，把一堆垃圾聚在一起，小心翼翼地把垃圾扫进簸箕，再用火眼扫描一遍，生怕漏掉一粒灰尘。我十分疑惑，阴阳怪气地问刘阿姨：“你为什么要扫地，这个交给社区清洁的人员不就行了吗?”刘阿姨笑了，笑得那么纯朴，那么爽朗，她平易近人地回答：“身为一个门卫，不仅要保护大家的安全，也应该让我们的居住环境保持清洁、卫生。我心里一震，一个小小的门卫能在危急时刻临危不乱，不顾自身安危，保护小区安全，尽心尽力为社区服务，这就是平凡中的高尚!

There are lots of volunteers around us now. And they dont do it for money,

they do it only for happy or others。As a young student, helping other people is

a major commitment.

If I have a chance to join a volunteer club and to be a volunteer who helps

others，I will try my best to help others。In my classroom ，I am good at math and

science ，I can help my classmates who are in trouble if I am free.In primary

school, I can help teach young students paint because I am good for drawing.And

I am good at singing，so I can sing songs to cheer up the sick people in the

hospital。Also,I can help the old people in the old peoples home , I can clean

the floor and do chores ，because I think the old people will be very tired and

hard if they do the housework by themselves.

Except these,so many things I can do . Not only I feel good about helping

others , but also I do something useful . So I think I should study hard to

improve my skills and I will help others in the future.

白发苍苍，满脸邹纹，弯弯的眉毛，一双慈祥、和谐的眼睛，盼望着家人回家，一张温暖的嘴巴，总是提醒你：“天冷了，多穿衣服，别感冒了。”她就是我最爱的奶奶。

每次星期天，我都会回老家去看望我的爷爷、奶奶，陪他们吃吃饭、聊聊天，到了该走的时候，心里总会有些不舍。一次，我对爸爸说：“爸爸，我们去把爷爷、奶奶接到我们家住一段时间吧!”爸爸说：“也好，他们年纪也大了，需要人照顾，那我们就把他们接来吧!”我高兴的一蹦三尺高。

去接爷爷奶奶的时候，奶奶“宁死不屈”，死活也不跟我们一起走，说不习惯住商品房。在我的努力劝说下，奶奶终于同意了。走在路上，我对妈妈说：“妈妈，咱们家还有毛毯吗?”谁知道，因为奶奶的耳朵有一点问题，听不清别人说话，她抢先一步说：“有啊，咱们家的鸡下了好多蛋呢，你想吃就回去拿。”这句话把我们全车人逗得哄堂大笑，原来，奶奶把“毛毯”听成“鸡蛋”了。

还有一次，我在家里把电视开着，在看乒乓球比赛，妈妈叫我下楼买点东西，错过了那场比赛。正好奶奶也在看，我回来时问奶奶：“奶奶，刚才的乒乓球比赛，谁赢了?”不料，奶奶把我说的“乒乓”听成有人在敲门的声音了，于是马上起身去开门，把我笑的前俯后仰。奶奶还疑惑地问我：“你笑什么啊?”我急忙说：“没事的，奶奶。”爸爸看见了，出于孝心，对奶奶说：“妈，我给您买个助听器吧。”奶奶从小生活艰苦，很节俭，说“别买，别买，买了也是浪费。”

爷爷奶奶在我们家住了几天，住不习惯，我还要上学，也没人陪他们聊天，就要回老家了，因此我感到非常失望和依依不舍。

以后放假了，要多回去陪陪爷爷奶奶，让他们不再感到孤单。爷爷，奶奶，祝你们长命百岁、福如东海。我爱你们!

Newspapers and websites are two major new media in the world today, both of which can provide us with lots of news and information. But they’re different in some ways.

Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost anywhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos.

On the other hand, websites are quite new and popular, especially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures but also audios and videos, which makes stories more interesting. What’s more, they are updated from time to time. So the latest news is always seen on websites instead of in newspapers. But it is not quite convenient for people without a computer connected with the Internet to get information from websites.

After reading this book I think it is necessary to share the old legend to everybody .

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it lea一ves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the sa一vage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out- carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His hea一ven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain …

Meggie Cleary is just like the bird,and Ralph is her superlative song.

I read the book then watched the movie, both of them ga一ve me great shock, I really admire Meggie,she had the courage to use her whole life to love Ralph, never ga一ve up. She believed that she would love Ralph only in her life. But I don’t like Meggie’s attitude to love, Ralph is a Father, and he mustn’t love Meggie, they really loved each other, but they are not destined to be together. So in my opinion I think Meggie should give in, she shouldn’t fight with God, Ralph had told her he would serve God forever, so Meggie wouldn’t win. Maybe giving up is a good choice. Their love is painful.

Tell the turth I don’t like Meggie neither Ralph, Ralph could not give Meggie happniess while Meggie couldn’t support Ralph to concentrate on his work. So they would not ha一ve happy life, they only made each other feel sad .

Frank is my fa一vorite role. he was short but strong ,and he was one of the main labor in his family. He didn’t want to be a shepherd, but the family needed him , and he must feed he the sheep so that everybody in his family can live better. Once he escaped from home , but it wassn’t long before his father found him and take him home. I feel so sorry that he had a miserable fate. He longed for freedom but most of his life didn’t belong to himself, it’s really a pity .

Frank was different to every man in their home, he loved his mother deeply, and he always helped his mother do the housework. he dreamed to be an outstanding boxer. Frank was considerable, and he always try his best to make Meggie feel happy. As Meggie’s oldest brother, he could be worried about Meggie’s fa一vorite doll, and he even tried to fixed the doll which was distroyed by Meggie’s other brothers. Frank and Meggie would always tell each other what they thought in their deep heart , and they are close friends.

I was so sad when I learned that Frank killed a man and he was sent to the prision. It is really a big shock to Meggie, for Frank was the only one who can listen to Meggie’s secrets. She thought she lost Frank forever. I cannot imagine how painful for Frank to spend dozens years in the prision. He once had good dream about his life, but he had to waste most of his life in prision. In my opinion it was Frank’s father that distoryed his life. His father didn’ t give him freedom, and Frank can’t had strong resistance spirits, and because he didn’t control himself and broke the law.The energitic Frank will never come to us, and he became a man who didn’t wanna talk. He began to be afraid of the world…it is really a pity.

As for Meggie, I think she was a good girl. She was beautiful and smart, but she it was wrong for her to love Ralph. Meggie was an excellent girl, she was able to find an outstanding boy to love her, but she put all her love on Ralph even she married Luke. She married Luke just because Luke looked like Ralph. Meggie wanna be a thorn bird, but I think it was too cruel to her. She was so kind that she shouldn’t stand that king of pain, and I think she was born to ha一ve a happy life. I pity for her.

Both the story of thorn birds and the legend are painful and beautiful, but not every one can be the thorn birds, because it is not our porpose to ha一ve a painful life. We are born to be happy. Olny happiness is the ture meaning of life while the story was written for us to enrich our life. It is a wonderful story.

Times are changing day by day. Doing the shopping is easier. Most people

are better-dressed and they enjoy modern life.

Girls are changing, too. There are many differences between the older and

younger generations.

I know a twelve-year-old girl, who, to my surprise, has little time to

play. She told me that she dreamt of being a dancer, so she must learn to dance,

play music and so on. Sometimes, she is out of breath under such pressure, but

she can’t stop because modern life is busy.

In addition, I find those girls know more and more. Although they are

little girls, they know how to dress fashionably. Sometimes they look older than

their age, though.

As an older female, I realize that compared with the modern girls, my

generation is less well-educated and takes part in fewer leisure activities. I

realize that we don’t make full use of our time the way they do. Therefore, we

should try our best to value our time and pursue our dreams.

Confident, proud and energetic, modern girls represent new times.

the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mothers day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.

一家人刚移居罗德岛。5月的那个星期天， 年轻女人感到有点儿忧伤。毕竟， 这一天是母亲节─而她却与俄亥俄州的父母亲遥距800英里。

she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mothers day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parentsback door.

她那天早上给母亲打去电话， 祝母亲节日愉快。随后， 她的母亲向她提起， 因为春天已经来临， 所以院子里的色彩是多么绚丽。在她们通话的当儿， 年轻女人几乎可以闻到悬垂在父母亲后门外大灌木丛上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。

later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. i know where we can find you all you want, he said. get the kids and cmon.

so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.

后来， 她向丈夫说起她是如何怀念那些紫丁香时， 他突然从椅子上跃起。我知道在哪儿能找到你想要的东西， 他说， 带上孩子， 走吧。

于是， 他们就出发了， 驱车行驶在罗德岛北部的乡村小路上， 那种天气只有5月中旬才会有：闪亮的阳光、蔚蓝色的晴空以及生机勃勃、随处可见的绿意。他们穿过一座座小村庄和一座座拔地而起的房屋， 穿过废弃的苹果园， 来到了树林和嗄敬匝谟车睦吓

where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasnt a lilac bush in sight.

come with me , the man said. over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebodys farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. im sure he wont mind if we pick a few lilacs.

他们停下车。车道两边长满了茂盛的雪松、杜松和白桦树。眼前没有一棵紫丁香。

随我来， 那个男人说， 翻过那座小山， 有个老地窖， 几年前是一个人的农场， 四周长满了紫丁香。这块地的主人说我可以随时到这儿来闲逛。我相信， 要是我们采几束紫丁香， 他不会介意。

before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.

还没等他们到达半山腰， 紫丁香的芬芳已经向他们飘了过来。于是， 孩子们开始奔跑。不久， 那位母亲也开始跑起来， 直至到达山顶。

那里， 远离了过往司机的视野， 避开了纷扰的文明世界， 高耸的丁香花丛开满了硕大的圆锥形的串串花束， 几乎把花茎压成了两折。那个年轻女人微笑着冲到最近的一处花丛， 把脸埋在鲜花中， 啜饮着芳香， 陶醉在重新唤起的记忆中。

while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husbands pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure. finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

在那个男人察看地窖试图向孩子们解释这座房子必定是什么样子的当儿， 那个女人不由自主地走进了紫丁香花丛。她小心翼翼地从这儿摘一枝， 那儿挑一束， 然后用丈夫的袖珍小刀将它们剪下来。她不慌不忙， 像欣赏稀有珍宝似地欣赏着每一朵花。

然而， 他们终于还是返回了汽车， 走上了回家的路。孩子们叽叽喳喳说个不停， 那个男人驾着车， 那个女人坐在那儿面带微笑， 她周围放满了鲜花， 眼睛里充满着向往。

when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, stop the car. stop right here! the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.

当他们离家不足3英里时， 她突然向丈夫大声喊道：停车， 就在这里停车!

那个男人嘎地刹住车。还没等他问为什么， 女人就已经下了车， 匆匆走向附近的草坡， 怀里仍抱着紫丁香。山顶上是一家疗养院， 因为这是一个美丽的春日， 所以病人正在室外和亲友溜达或坐在门廊上。

the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

那个年轻女人走到门廊的尽头， 只见那里有一个上了年纪的病人正坐在轮椅里， 独自一人， 低着头， 背对着其他人。年轻女人越过门廊栏杆， 将鲜花放在了老太太的膝间。老太太抬起头， 露出了笑脸。两个女人聊了一会儿， 都兴高采烈。随后， 那个年轻女人转身跑回到家人的身边。当汽车开动时， 坐在轮椅里的那个女人挥动着手， 手里紧紧地握着那束紫丁香花。

mom, the kids asked, who was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebodys mother?the mother said she didnt know the old woman. but it was mothers day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldnt be cheered by flowers?besides, she added, i have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did.

this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.

妈妈， 孩子们问， 那人是谁呀?你为什么把我们的花送给她?她是谁的母亲呀?他们的母亲说， 她不认识那个老太太， 但今天是母亲节， 她看起来是那么孤独， 而鲜花会给任何人带来好心情。再说， 她补充道， 我拥有你们， 而且我还有自己的母亲， 即使她离我很远。那个女人比我更需要那些鲜花。

孩子们得到了满意的答案， 但她的丈夫却没有。第二天， 他买了半打紫丁香幼苗， 栽到了院子四周;而且从那以后， 每隔一段时间， 他就会增加一些。

i was that man. the young mother was, and is, my wife. now, every may, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. every mothers day our kids gather purple bouquets. and every year i remember that smile on a lonely old womans face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

我就是那个男人， 那个年轻母亲是我妻子。如今， 每年5月， 我们自家的院子都会散发出浓烈的紫丁香的芬芳。每逢母亲节， 我们的孩子都要采撷紫丁香花束。而且每年我都会记起一位孤独的老太太脸上露出的笑容， 以及笑容里呈现出的那种慈祥。

母亲从来没有见过狼，也没有和狼打过交道。但是在我的思想里面她就是一只狼，任凭岁月侵蚀永不倒下的狼萧瑟的童年光景中，并没有因为多了母爱而增加了温暖，反之得来的是儿时那无尽的痛苦的磨练。恨意滋生，我不明白她为何将我带到这个世界上，更不清楚她怀胎十月，痛苦的分娩我意义何为。

家境窘迫，她不得不和爸爸外出挣钱养家糊口，就像老狼无论生死也要给她的孩子捕获到猎物一样。有很多人曾经问过她，拼命地做工换来的钱花的舒服么?没有言语，她只是斜着眼睛看着他们，用目光告诉他们哺育儿女的任务是多麽的繁重。尤记得有一次，因为贪心偷了家里几毛钱，被她查证后让我在下着雨的外面跪了几个小时。无论邻里们怎么求情，她都是板着个脸隔着窗儿望着我。我冲她大喊，为什么别人家的孩子生下来就会有妈妈的陪伴，而你每天在外面都不知道忙些什么，既然这样，当初为何将我生下来。此刻他变得更加沉默，仿佛她的世界全部都灰暗一样。

生活继续着，初中毕业我的身高如雨后春笋般的生长。饭量大增，她不得不更加拼命地挣钱来供我花销。每次给家里打电话，我们之间变得沉默了许多，只是无意间的叮嘱她发了工资自己买一套新衣服穿。她却雷霆大怒哄到“小孩子你懂什么，你怕我丢人么，告诉你你在学校里好好学习才是我最大的面子”我无言以对，只是静静的等待着电话的那边出现噔噔的声响，然后用余温延续着旧时光里她给我的回忆。

第二天清晨，太阳像一块畸形的红碳，比云堆中射出光来。这一切悬照在树林，校园的上空。仰头望去，那云朵里出现一只老狼，一只任凭岁月侵蚀永不倒下的老狼。
