英语翻译
One morning,a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet.He held a sign which said ,"I am blind .Please help me."
There were only a few coins in the hat A man was walking by.He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat
He then took the sign,turned it around,and wrote some words.
Soon the hat began to fill up .A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy .That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were .the boy recognized his foot steps and asked,"Are you the man who changed my sign in the morning What did you write?"
The man said ,“I only wrote the truth.I said what you said ,but in a different way .”
What he had written was,"Today is a beautiful day ,but I cannot see it ."
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind .But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat .The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day ,but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind .
The first sign simply said the boy was blind ,while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind .
There are at least two lessons we can learn from his simple story
The fiest is :Be creative.Think differently.There is always a better way.
一天中午,在巴黎的街头,一位法国著名诗人看见一个老妇人木然地站着.她佝偻着腰,衣衫褴褛,苍白的头发在风中飘荡.在她身旁,立着一块木牌,上面写着:“我什么也看不见!”这是一位双目失明的老人,因为生活所迫,不得不在街上乞讨.诗人走到老人跟前,俯下身子问道:“老人家,今天给您钱的人多吗?”听到有人询问,老人先是一愣,接着长叹一声,说:“我.今天什么也没有得到.”诗人听了,拿出笔,悄悄地在木牌的那行字前面写了一句话“春天到了”.他把身上带的钱全给了老人,说:“这够您吃一顿饭了.”
晚上,这位诗人又经过那条街.他看到来往的行人经过这块木牌时,大都停了下来.无论是衣着华丽的绅士、贵妇,还是打扮得漂漂亮亮的少男少女,都掏出一枚枚铜币送到老人的手里,就连衣着寒酸的小职员,也摸出一枚铜币交给老人.诗人远远地看着,露出欣慰的神情.
“春天到了,我什么也看不见!”诗人仅仅在原来那句话的前面加了四个字,竟产生了这么大的魔力!是啊,春天多么美好.但是,对于双目失明的人来说,仍然是一片漆黑.何况这是一位贫困交加、风烛残年的老妇人呢!诗人的语言,用美好衬托出不幸的人更加不幸.这位盲妇人,一生连万紫千红的春天都看不到,谁能不产生同情之心呢?
