第21章 旅游休闲篇(5)

The autumn,with its ripening fruits,and waving harvest,is now with us.We see on every hand the results of the farmer's toil and forecast in the springtime.Then it was that he broke up the soil,sowed the seed,pruned his trees,and guarded the tender plants.Now we see the ripening crops.The trees are bending with golden fruit,and abundance rewards the farmer's toil.

But suppose in spring the farmer had left the soil unturned,the seed unsown,the trees untrimmed,and everything neglected,what would now be the result We should see nothing but barren fields,overrun with weeds and briers; and the farmer would feel that a winter of want and distress was before him.

And let us remember that the autumn of life will come on apace; and that what we now sow,we shall then reap.If we would reap an abundant harvest,and gather precious fruit,and secure an autumn of plenty and prosperity,we must now,in the springtime of life,be diligent and careful in the cultivation of our hearts.We must form only those habits which will produce good fruits.Our acts must be noble,our thoughts and our words must be pure,and our feelings must be kind.As we now sow,we shall then reap.If we"sow the wind,we shall reap the whirlwind."

果实成就,丰收在望,秋季现在已经来到我们身边。

从各个方面,我们看到农民在春天时的播种和对丰收的希望。是农民翻松土壤,播下种子,修剪树木,保护弱小植物。现在我们看到成熟的果实。树被金黄的果实压 弯了腰,丰收回报了农民的辛劳。

但是,假设农民们不翻土壤,不播种,不修剪树木,疏忽一切事情,现在将是什么结果?我们将只能看到荒芜的土地,杂草丛生,荆棘遍布;农民们觉得一个匮乏 和悲伤的冬季将呈现在面前。

我们不要忘记,人生的秋天就要来临;我们现在种下了什么,到时必有收获。如果我们想要丰硕的收获,珍贵的果实,确保一个充裕和丰盛的秋天,那我们现在就必 须在人生的春天,勤奋和认真地用心耕耘。我们必须养成好习惯,只有那些才能生出良好的成果。我们的行为必须高尚,我们的思想和言语必须纯洁,我们的感情必 须善良。我们现在播种,我们定有收获。如果我们“播下的风,我们将收获旋风(恶有恶报)”。

no wonder难怪

belt [belt] n.安全带

memory [memri] n.记忆

小叮咛

①It seems that we were children again.我们好像又回到了孩童时代。seem: 好像,似乎。It seems that…表示“看起来……”,后跟陈述语气的句子 ,强调根据一定的事实所得出的一种接近于实际情况的判断,可以说表示事实,可以转换成“名词或代词 + seem +动词不定式”句型,其意不变,如果动词不定 式为to be + 形容词时,to be往往省略。例如:It seems that he is lying.看来他在撒谎。

03想唱就唱

Rhythm of the Rain雨中旋律

By The Cascades

瀑布乐团(The Cascades)虽然只有这一首真正畅销的歌曲《雨中旋律》,但这首歌却成为了流行音乐史上最令人难忘的经典歌曲之一,被留在了人们记忆深处。多 年以来不断有人翻唱。更有“绿箭口香糖”的广告将它用作广告主题曲……

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain

Telling me just what a fool I've been

I wish that it would go

And let me cry in the rain

And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away

Looking for a brand new start

But little does she know

That when she left that day

Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair

For her to steal my heart away

When she doesn't care

I can't love another

When my heart's somewhere far away

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so

Please ask the sun to set her heart a glow

Rain in her heart and let the love new start to grow

Oh listen to the falling rain

Pi-le-pa-la pi-le-pa-la

听那大雨倾盆而落

笑我一直是个傻瓜

我恨不能它快快走开别打岔

让我独自把泪儿洒

我唯一的心上人她抛弃我

去追寻一种崭新的生活

可她丝毫不知她这一去

令我失魂落魄

雨儿 请你现在就把话答

难道说她背信弃义是公平的

我再也不会爱

因为心已给了她

雨儿 请你把我的爱传达

让阳光雨露滋润她心中的花

让我们心中的旧情再一次萌芽

哦,听着雨中的节奏
