When we plant a rose seed in the earth，we notice it is small，but we do not criticize it as"rootless and stemless".We treat it as a seed，giving it the water and nourishment required of a seed.
When it first shoots up out of the earth，we don't condemn it as immature and underdeveloped，nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear.We stand in wonder at the process taking place，and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development.
The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies.Within it，at all times，it contains its whole potential.It seems to beconstantly in the process of change： Yet at each state，at each moment，it is perfectly all right as it is.
A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud； at each stage it is the same thing--a flower in the process of expressing its potential.
当我们在土地上种下一粒玫瑰种子时，我们注意到它很小，但我们不会批判它“无根和无柄”。我们把它作为一粒种子，给予它一粒种子所需的水和营养。
当它第一次破土而出时，我们不谴责它不成熟，不强壮，我们也不会批评刚刚显现的花苞，因为他们还未绽放。我主张在它成长的整个过程中，给予植物在每一个发 展阶段所需的关怀。
玫瑰就是玫瑰，从还是一粒种子那时到它凋谢那刻。在这个过程中，无论何时，它都包含了全部潜能。这似乎是在不断变化的过程：但是在每一阶段，每个时刻，这 是完全正确的。
一朵花在它开放时和在它是一个花苞时，都是一样美好的；每一个阶段都是同样的事物一在表现它潜能的过程中始终是一朵花。

小叮咛
①We have to handle fresh fruit with kid gloves.我们必须谨慎对待新鲜水果。 kid gloves指“小山羊皮手套”，handle…with kid gloves的字面意 思是“戴着羊皮手套去拿东西”。我们知道，羊皮手套一是较贵，二是很薄，所以用起来得小心，以防把手套弄坏。这样，handle…with kid gloves无疑就是用来 意指“小心谨慎”。
