英文情感故事

Several years ago, a physician from southern France contacted me His granddaughter had taken ill with a disease that baffled the physicians there He called after reading several of my articles on disorders of the autonomic nervous system His granddaughter’s symptoms seemed to match those I had described, and he asked me if I could help I readily agreed, and for many months, I collaborated with the child’s French physicians by telephone and by fax, directing their diagnostic testing At last we came to a diagnosis, and I prescribed a course of therapy During the next several weeks, the child made a seemingly miraculous recovery Her grandparents expressed their heartfelt thanks and told me to let them know should I ever come to France

In the summer of 1996, I was invited to speak at a large international scientific meeting that was held in Nice, France I sent word to the physician I had helped years before Upon my arrival at the hotel, I received a message to contact him I called him and we arranged a night to meet for dinner

On the appointed day we met and then drove north to his home in the beautiful southern French countryside It was humbling to learn his home was older than the United States During the drive he told me that his wife had metastatic breast cancer and was not well, but she insisted upon meeting me When introduced to her, I saw that despite her severe illness, she was still a beautiful woman with a noble bearing

I was thereafter treated to one of the most wonderful meals I have ever eaten, complemented by the most exquisite of wines After dinner, we sat in a seventeenth-century salon, sipping cognac and chatting Our conversation must have seemed odd to the young man and woman who served us because it came out in a free-flowing mixture of English, French and Spanish After a time the woman asked, “My husband tells me you are Jewish, no” “Yes,” I said, “I am a Jew” They asked me to tell them about Judaism, especially the holidays I did my best to explain and was astounded by how little they knew of Judaism She seemed to be particularly interested in Hannukah

Once I had finished answering her questions, she suddenly looked me in the eye and said, “I have something I want to give to you” She disappeared and returned several moments later with a package wrapped in cloth She sat, her tired eyes looking into mine, and she began to speak slowly

“When I was a little girl of eight years, during the Second World War, the authorities came to our village to round up all the Jews My best friend at that time was a girl of my age named Jeanette One morning when I came to play, I saw her family being forced at gunpoint into a truck I ran home and told my mother what had happened and asked where Jeanette was going ‘Don’t worry,’ she said, ‘Jeanette will be back soon’ I ran back to Jeanette’s house only to find that she was gone and that the other villagers were looting her home of valuables, except for the Judaic items, which were thrown into the street As I approached, I saw an item from her house lying in the dirt I picked it up and recognized it as an object that Jeanette and her family would light around Christmas time In my little girl’s mind I said, ‘I will take this home and keep it for Jeanette, till she comes back,’ but she and her family never returned”

She paused and took a slow sip of brandy “Since that time I have kept it I hid it from my parents and didn’t tell a soul of its existence Indeed, over the last fifty years the only person who knew of it was my husband When I found out what really happened to the Jews, and how many of the people I knew had collaborated with the Nazis, I could not bear to look at it Yet I kept it, hidden, waiting for something, although I wasn’t sure what Now I know what I was waiting for it was you, a Jew, who helped cure our granddaughter, and it is to you I entrust this”

Her trembling hands set the package on my lap I slowly unwrapped the cloth from around it Inside was a menorah, but one unlike any I had seen before Made of solid brass, it had eight cups for holding oil and wicks and a ninth cup centered above the others It had a ring attached to the top, and the woman mentioned that she remembered that Jeanette’s family would hang it in the hallway of their home It looked quite old to me; later, several people told me that it is probably at least 100 years old As I held it and thought about what it represented, I began to cry All I could manage to say was a garbled “merci” As I left, her last words to me were “Il faudra voir la lumière encore une fois”— it should once again see light I later learned that she died less than one month after our meeting This Hannukah, the menorah will once again see light And as I and my family light it, we will say a special prayer in honor of those whose memories it represents We will not let its lights go out again

　Beautiful Smile and Love美丽的微笑与爱心

　The poor are very wonderful peopleOne evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street And one of them was in a most terrible condition-and I told the Sisters: You take care of the other three I take care of this one who looked worse So I did for her all that my love can do I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "Thank you" and she died

　I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place And my answer was very simple I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more--she gave me her grateful love And she died with a smile on her face So did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for" And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry-I was naked-I was homeless-I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for-and you did it to me

　I believe that we are not real social workers We may be doing social work in the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives, in the heart of the world For we are touching the body of Christ twenty-four hoursAnd I think that in our family we don't need bombs and guns to destroy, to bring peace-just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world

　And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor 1 think that more and more love will spread And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, be the good new to the poorThe poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world To be able to do this,our Sisters, our lives have to be woven with prayer"They have to he woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share Because today there is so much suffering…When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied I have removed that hungry But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted,unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearableAnd so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something

　穷人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我们外出，从街上带回了四个人，其中一个生命岌岌可危。于是我告诉修女们说:“你们照料其他三个，这个濒危的人就由我来照顾了。”就这样，我为她做了我的爱心所能做的一切。我将她放在床上，看到她的脸上绽露出如此美丽的微笑。她握着我的手，只说了句“谢谢您”就死了。

　我情不自禁地在她面前审视起自己的良知来。我问自己，如果我是她的话，会说些什么呢答案很简单，我会尽量引起旁人对我的关注，我会说我饥饿难忍，冷得发抖，奄龟一息，痛苦不堪，诸如此类的话。但是她给我的却更多更多—她给了我她的感激之情。她死时脸上却带着微笑。我们从排水道带回的那个男子也是如此。当时，他几乎全身都快被虫子吃掉了，我们把他带回了家。“在街上，我一直像个动物一样地活着，但我将像个天使一样地死去，有人爱，有人关心_”真是太好了，我看到了他的伟大之处，他竟能说出那样的活。他那样死去，不责怪任何

　人，不诅咒任何人，无欲无求。像天使一样—这便是我们的人民的伟大之所在。因此我们相信耶稣所说的——我饥肠辘辘—我衣不蔽体—我无家可归—我不为人所要，不为人所爱，也不为人所关心—然而，你却为我做了这一切。

　我想，我们算一不上真正的社会工作者。在人们的限中，或许我们是在做社会工作，但实际上，我们真的只是世界中心的修行者。因为，一天24小时，我们都在触摸基督的圣体。我想，在我们的大家庭里，我们不需要枪和炮弹来破坏和平，或带来和平—我们只需要团结起来，彼此相爱，将和平、欢乐以及每一个家庭成员灵魂的活力都带回世界。这样，我们就能战胜世界上现存的切邪恶。

　我准备以我所获得的诺贝尔和平奖奖金为那些无家可归的人们建立自己的家园。因为我相信，爱源自家庭，如果我们能为穷人建立家园，我相信爱便会传播得更广。而且，我们将通过这种宽容博大的爱而带来和平，成为穷人的福音。首先为我们自己家里的穷人，其次为我们国家，为全世界的穷人。为了做到这一点，姐妹们，我们的生活就必须与祷告紧紧相连，必须同基督结为一体才能互相体谅，共同分享，因为同基督结为一体就意味着互相体谅，共同分享。因为，今天世界上仍有如此多的苦难存在……当我从街上带回一个饥肠辘辘的人时 ,给他一盘饭，一片面包，我就能使他心满意足了，我就能驱除他的饥饿。但是，如果一个人露宿街头，感到不为人所要，不为人所爱，惶恐不安，被社会抛弃—这样的贫困让人心痛，如此令人无法忍受。因此，让我们总是微笑相见，因为微笑就是爱的开端，一旦我们开始彼此自然地相爱，我们就会想着为对方做点什么了。

　课堂笔记：

　1特蕾莎修女没有引用演讲的常规模式，如“Ladies and gentlemen"，而是平和地用“穷人是非常了不起的人”做开场白。一方面展示了她对这个奖项的淡定;另一方面是向在场的观众表明她及她的团体所施爱的对象群体，恰恰是常人所瞧不起甚至藐视的人群。

　2修女本有一固定单词为“nun”，特蕾莎修女选择了“sister”这个单词，表明她们慈爱团体的亲密关系如同姐妹，令现场的观众也有一种亲近感。“Sister”首字母大写，通常既可以指天主教修女，也可以指基督教会员。

　3英语中表示“禁不住做某事”的常用结构为“cannot help doing sth; cannot help but do sth"。

　4 "a Prize of Peace”指诺贝尔和平奖诺贝尔奖是以瑞典著名化学家、峭化甘油炸药发明人阿尔弗雷德·贝恩哈德·诺贝尔的部分遗产作为基金创立的。诺贝尔奖包括金质奖章、证书和奖金支票。在遗嘱中他提出，将部分遗产(920万美元)作为基金，以其利息分设物理、化学、生理或医学、文学及和平(后添加了经济奖)5个奖项，授予世界各国在这些领域对人类作出重大贡献的学者。

　5此处的“understanding”不应简单地理解为“有理解力的，有洞察力的”。而是“富有同情心的”。这是特蕾莎修女的演讲，理解时要与她的身份吻。因此，原文中 understanding love可理解为“博爱”。

　Companionship of Books以书为伴

　A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men

　A good book may be among the best of friends It is the same today that it always was, and it will never chance It is the most patient and cheerful of companions It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age

　Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a thirdThere is an old proverb, "Love me, love my dog" But there is more wisdom in this: "Love me, love my book" The book is a truer and higher bond of union Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author They live in him together, and he in them

　"Books," said Hazlitt, "wind into the heart; the poet's verse slides in the current of our blood We read them when young, we remember them when old We feel that it has happened to ourselves They are to be very cheap and good We breathe but the air of books"

　A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man's life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters "They are never alone," said Sir Philip Sidney, "that are accompanied by noble thoughts" The good and true thought may in times of temptation be as an angel of mercy purifying and guarding the soul It also enshrines the germs of action, for good words almost always inspire to good works

　Books possess an essence of immortality They are by far the most lasting products of human effort Temples and statues decay, but books survive Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds, ages ago What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good

　Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe

　The great and good do not die, even in this world Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad The book is a living voice It is an intellect to which one still listens Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of old The imperial intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago

　了解一个人，通常可以看他读什么书，结交什么人因为有人以人为伴，有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友，生活中我们都应该和最佳最善者常相伴。

　好书可以是你最好的朋友。它始终不渝，过去如此，现在如此，将来也永不改变。它是最有耐心、最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们遭受不幸，忧伤悲痛的时候，它不会抛弃我们。它总是一如既往地亲切相待。我们年少时，好书给我们带来欢笑和知识;我们年老时，好书又给我们以亲抚和慰藉。

　喜欢同一本书的人，常常发现彼此间习性也相近，就像有一时两个人因为敬慕同一个人而成为朋友一样。古时有句谚语：“爱屋及鸟。”其实，“爱我及书”这句活蕴涵更多的哲理。书是更为真诚而高尚的情谊纽带。人们可以通过共同喜爱的作家沟通思想，交流感情，产生共鸣。他们和作家情感相通，作家和他们思想相融。

　哈兹利特曾经说过：“书潜移转化人们的内心，诗歌熏陶人们的气质品性。少小所习，老大不忘，恍如身历其事。书籍价廉物美，不啻我们呼吸的空气。”

　好书常如最精美的宝器，珍藏着人生思想的精华，因为人生命的境界主要在于其思想的境界。因此，最好的书是金玉良言，是崇高思想的宝库，这些良言和思想若铭记于心并多加珍视，就会成为我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰藉。菲利普·锡德尼爵士说得好:“有高尚思想做伴的人永不孤独。”当我们面临诱惑的时候，优美纯真的思想会像仁慈的天使一样，纯洁并保卫我们的灵魂。优美纯真的思想也孕育着行动的胚芽，因为金玉良言几乎总会启发善行。

　书籍具有不朽的本质，是人类努力创造的最为持久的成果。寺庙会倒塌，神像会朽烂，而书却经久长存。对于伟大思想来说，时间是无关紧要的。多年前初次闪现于作者脑海的伟大思想今天依然清新如故。他们昨日的言论和思想刊载于纸张之上，如今依然生动如初，向我们娓娓道来。时间唯一的作用是淘汰不好的作品，因为只有真正的佳作才能经世长存。

　书籍介绍我们与最优秀的人为伍，使我们置身于历代伟人巨匠之间，如闻其声，如观其行，如见其人，同他们情感交融，悲喜与共感同身受。一定程度上，我们觉得自己仿佛在作者所描绘的舞台上和他们一起粉墨登场。

　即使在人世间，伟大杰出的人物也永生不朽。他们的精神被载人书册，传于四海。书是有生命力的声音，是人类至今仍在聆听的智慧之声。所以，我们永远都受历代伟人的影响。多少世纪以前的盖世英才，如今仍同当年一样，显示着强大的生命力。

　课堂笔记：

　1此处的“as well as”相当于连词"and"、连接两个介词短语。

　2虚拟语气在由“whether”引导的让步状语从句中，从句谓语用动词原形，表示“不论是……还是……”同时，"whether"一词可以省去，而将“be”动词放在主语前此从句可以变为“be it of books or of men”

　3"the same as"和"the same that"都指“和…相同”的含义，但前者强调的是类型的相同，而后者强调的是事物本身的相同。此处指的是好书本身，故而用的是"the same that"

　4句中的两个介词“by"均表示方式，表“通过”之意。省略"that”的定语从句从句"they have for a book”用于修饰“love"。连词“as”表示“正如……一样”，后接从句，用于比较。关系代词“which”引导的定语从句“which both entertain for a third”用于修饰“admiration"。

　5"Love me, love my dog”常被译为“爱屋及乌”英语中有关“dog”的谚语很多，比如:a lucky dog(幸运儿);Every dog has his day(人人皆有得意日。);It rains cats and dogs(下倾盆大雨。);a cat-and-dog life(争争吵吵的日子)等等。

　6威廉·哈兹利特(William Hazlitt,1778-1830)，英国散文家、评论家、画家

　7这是由关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词treasuries，从句中的过去分词结构“remembered and cherished(铭记于心并多加珍视)”用作状语，表示条件

　8菲利普·锡德尼爵士(Sir Philip Sidney, 1554- 1586 )，英国文艺复兴时期的'著名的散文家、政治家，有很高的艺术修养科学知识丰富

　9此处的but为介词，表示“除……以外”的含义，what引导的从句作but的宾语。

　宁静突然被打破，一辆大轿车亮着前灯，响着喇叭，呼啸着冲进了拱廊街，在珠宝店门口停了下来。一人留在驾驶座上，另外两个用黑色长筒丝袜蒙面的人跳下车来。他们用铁棒把商店橱窗的玻璃砸碎。这开始发生时，泰勒先生正在楼上。他与店员动手向窗外投掷家具，椅子，桌子飞落花流水在拱廊街上。一个窃贼被一尊很重的雕像击中，但由于他忙着抢钻石首饰，竟连疼痛都顾不上了。这场抢劫只持续了3分钟，因为窃贼争先恐后地爬上轿车，以惊人的速度开跑了。就在轿车离开的时候，泰勒先生从店里冲了出来，跟在车后追赶，一边还往车上扔烟灰缸、花瓶。但他已无法抓住那些窃贼了。他们已带着价值数千镑的首饰逃之夭夭了。

　阅读可以让我们了解一些道理和增长见识，下面我为广大中学生准备了英语阅读的文章，希望大家喜欢!

　第一篇：母爱的真谛：母亲永远不会后悔!

　Time is running out for my friend While we are sitting at lunch she casually mentions she and her husband are thinking of starting a family "We're taking a survey,"she says, half-joking "Do you think I should have a baby"

　"It will change your life," I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral2 "I know,"she says, "no more sleeping in on weekends, no more spontaneous3 holidays"

　But that's not what I mean at all I look at my friend, trying to decide what to tell her I want her to know what she will never learn in childbirth classes I want to tell her that the physical wounds of child bearing will heal, but becoming a mother will leave her with an emotional4 wound so raw5 that she will be vulnerable6 forever

　I consider warning her that she will never again read a newspaper without thinking: "What if that had been MY child" That every plane crash, every house fire will haunt her That when she sees pictures of starving children, she will wonder if anything could be worse than watching your child die I look at her carefully manicured7 nails and stylish suit and think that no matter how sophisticated8 she is, becoming a mother will reduce her to the primitive9 level of a bear protecting her cub10

　I feel I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested in her career, she will be professionally derailed11 by motherhood She might arrange for child care, but one day she will be going into an important business meeting, and she will think her baby's sweet smell She will have to use every ounce of discipline12 to keep from running home, just to make sure her child is all right

　I want my friend to know that every decision will no longer be routine That a five-year-old boy's desire to go to the men's room rather than the women's at a restaurant will become a major dilemma The issues of independence and gender identity will be weighed against the prospect that a child molester13 may be lurking14 in the lavatory15 However decisive she may be at the office, she will second-guess16 herself constantly17 as a mother

　Looking at my attractive friend, I want to assure her that eventually18 she will shed the added weight19 of pregnancy20, but she will never feel the same about herself That her own life, now so important, will be of less value to her once she has a child She would give it up in a moment to save her offspring21, but will also begin to hope for more years—not to accomplish her own dreams—but to watch her children accomplish theirs

　I want to describe to my friend the exhilaration22 of seeing your child learn to hit a ball I want to capture23 for her the belly laugh24 of a baby who is touching the soft fur of a dog for the first time I want her to taste the joy that is so real it hurts

　My friend's look makes me realize that tears have formed in my eyes "You'll never regret it," I say finally Then, squeezing25 my friend's hand, I offer a prayer for her and me and all of the mere mortal women who stumble26 their way into this holiest of callings

　时光任苒，朋友已经老大不小了。我们坐在一起吃饭的时候，她漫不经心地提到她和她的丈夫正考虑要小孩。“我们正在做一项调查，”她半开玩笑地说。“你觉得我应该要个小孩吗”

　“他将改变你的生活。”我小心翼翼地说道，尽量使语气保持客观。“这我知道。”她答道，“周末睡不成懒觉，再也不能随心所欲休假了……”

　但我说的绝非这些。我注视着朋友，试图整理一下自己的思绪。我想让她知道她永远不可能在分娩课上学到的东西。我想让她知道：分娩的有形伤疤可以愈合，但是做母亲的情感伤痕却永远如新，她会因此变得十分脆弱。

　我想告诫她：做了母亲后，每当她看报纸时就会情不自禁地联想：“如果那件事情发生在我的孩子身上将会怎样啊!”每一次飞机失事、每一场住宅火灾都会让她提心吊胆。看到那些忍饥挨饿的孩子们的照片时，她会思索：世界上还有什么比眼睁睁地看着自己的孩子饿死更惨的事情呢我打量着她精修细剪的指甲和时尚前卫的衣服，心里想到：不管她打扮多么考究，做了母亲后，她会变得像护崽的母熊那样原始而不修边幅。

　我觉得自己应该提醒她，不管她在工作上投入了多少年，一旦做了母亲，工作就会脱离常规。她自然可以安排他人照顾孩子，但说不定哪天她要去参加一个非常重要的商务会议，却忍不住想起宝宝身上散发的甜甜乳香。她不得不拼命克制自己，才不致于为了看看孩子是否安然无羔而中途回家。

　我想告诉朋友，有了孩子后，她将再也不能按照惯例做出决定。在餐馆，5岁的儿子想进男厕而不愿进女厕将成为摆在她眼前的一大难题：她将在两个选择之间权衡一番：尊重孩子的独立和性别意识，还是让他进男厕所冒险被潜在的儿童性骚扰者侵害任凭她在办公室多么果断，作为母亲，她仍经常事后后悔自己当时的决定。

　注视着我的这位漂亮的朋友，我想让她明确地知道，她最终会恢复到怀孕前的体重，但是她对自己的感觉已然不同。她现在视为如此重要的生命将随着孩子的`诞生而变得不那么宝贵。为了救自己的孩子，她时刻愿意献出自己的生命。但她也开始希望多活一些年头，不是为了实现自己的梦想，而是为了看着孩子们美梦成真。

　我想向朋友形容自己看到孩子学会击球时的喜悦之情。我想让她留意宝宝第一次触摸狗的绒毛时的捧腹大笑。我想让她品尝快乐，尽管这快乐真实得令人心痛。

　朋友的表情让我意识到自己已经是热泪盈眶。“你永远不会后悔，”我最后说。然后紧紧地握住朋友的手，为她、为自己、也为每一位艰难跋涉、准备响应母亲职业神圣的召唤的平凡女性献上自己的祈祷。

　第二篇：Words from the Heart说出心里话

　Most people need to hear those "three little words" I love you Once in a while, they hear them just in time

　I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospice1 ward, where I worked as a volunteer Her husband, Bill, stood nervously nearby as she was transferred from the gurney2 to the hospital bed Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer, she was alert and cheerful We got her settled in I finished marking her name on all the hospital supplies she would be using, then asked if she needed anything

　"Oh, yes," she said, "would you please show me how to use the TV I enjoy the soaps so much and I don't want to get behind on what's happening" Connie was a romantic She loved soap operas, romance novels and movies with a good love story As we became acquainted, she confided how frustrating it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her "a silly woman"

　"Oh, I know Bill loves me," she said, "but he has never been one to say he loves me, or send cards to me" She sighed and looked out the window at the trees in the courtyard "I'd give anything if he'd say ‘I love you,' but it's just not in his nature"

　Bill visited Connie every day In the beginning, he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps Later, when she began sleeping more, he paced up and down the hallway outside her room Soon, when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill

　He talked about having worked as a carpenter and how he liked to go fishing He and Connie had no children, but they'd been enjoying retirement by traveling, until Connie got sick Bill could not express his feelings about the fact that his wife was dying

　One day, over coffee in the cafeteria, I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives; how we love to get sentimental1 cards and love letters

　"Do you tell Connie you love her" I asked (knowing his answer), and he looked at me as if I was crazy

　"I don't have to," he said "She knows I do!"

　"I'm sure she knows," I said, reaching over and touching his hands rough, carpenter's hands that were gripping the cup as if it were the only thing he had to hang onto "but she needs to hear it, Bill She needs to hear what she has meant to you all these years Please think about it"

　We walked back to Connie's room Bill disappeared inside, and I left to visit another patient Later, I saw Bill sitting by the bed He was holding Connie's hand as she slept The date was February 12

　Two days later I walked down the hospice ward at noon There stood Bill, leaning up against the wall in the hallway, staring at the floor I already knew from the head nurse that Connie had died at 11 AM

　When Bill saw me, he allowed himself to come into my arms for a long time His face was wet with tears and he was trembling Finally, he leaned back against the wall and took a deep breath

　"I have to say something," he said "I have to say how good I feel about telling her" He stopped to blow his nose "I thought a lot about what you said, and this morning I told her how much I loved her and loved being married to her You shoulda2 seen her smile!"

　I went into the room to say my own goodbye to Connie There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine card from Bill You know, the sentimental kind that says, "To my wonderful wife I love you"

　大多数人需要听到那“三个小字”——我爱你。有时他们就会在最需要的时候听到。

　我在康尼住进收容所病房的那天见到了她。我在那儿当义工。把她从轮床抬上病床时，她的丈夫比尔焦虑不安地站在旁边。虽然康尼处于和癌症搏斗的晚期，但她仍然神智清醒，精神愉快。我们把她安顿好。我在医院提供给她使用的所有用品上标上她的名字，然后问她是否需要什么。

　“啊，是的，”她说，“请告诉我怎么用电视好吗我非常喜欢肥皂剧，想随时跟上进展情况。”康尼是个浪漫的人。她酷爱肥皂剧、浪漫小说和讲述美好爱情故事的**。随着我们越来越熟，她向我吐露说，跟一个经常叫她“傻女人”的男人生活了32年有多么沮丧。

　“唉，我知道比尔爱我，”她说道，“可是他从来不说他爱我，也不给我寄贺卡。”她叹了口气，朝窗外庭院里的树望去。“如果他说声‘我爱你’，我愿意付出一切，可这根本不是他的性格。”

　比尔每天都来探望康尼。一开始，康尼看肥皂剧，他就坐在床旁。后来，她睡的时候多了，比尔就在屋外走廊里踱来踱去。不久，康尼不再看电视了，醒的时候也少了，我开始花更多的义工时间和比尔在一起。

　他谈到他一直是个木工，他多么喜欢钓鱼。他和康尼没有孩子，但他们四处旅游，享受着退休生活，直到康尼得病。对他妻子病危这一事实，比尔无法表达他的感受。

　一天，在自助餐厅喝咖啡时，我设法和比尔谈起女人这个话题，谈到生活中我们多么需要浪漫，多想收到充满柔情蜜意的卡片和情书。

　“你跟康尼说你爱她吗”我明知故问。他瞧着我，就好像我有神经病。

　“我没有必要说，”他说道。“她知道我爱她!”

　“我肯定她知道，”我说。我伸出手，触摸着他那双木工粗糙的手。这双手紧握着杯子，似乎它是他需要依附的惟一东西——“可是她需要听到它，比尔。她需要听到所有这些年来她对你意味什么。请你考虑考虑。”

　我们走回康尼的房间。比尔进了屋，我走开去看望另一个病人。后来，我看见比尔坐在床边。康尼入睡了，他握着她的一只手。那天是2月12日。

　两天后的中午时分，我顺着收容所病房过道向前走着。比尔站在那里，靠着墙，凝视着地面。护士长已经告诉我，康尼在上午11点故去了。

　比尔看见我后，让我拥抱了他许久。他满脸泪水，浑身颤抖。最后，他向后靠在墙上，深深地吸了一口气。

　“我有话非说不可，”他说道。“我得说，对她说出来，感觉真是好极了。”他停下来擤鼻子。“你说的话我想了很多;今天早上我对她说我多么爱她……我多么珍惜和她结为夫妻。你真该看看她的笑容!”

　我走进康尼的房间，亲自去和她告别 。我看见，床头桌上放着一张比尔给她的大大的情人节贺卡——就是那种充满柔情蜜意的贺卡，上面写着：“给我出色的妻子……我爱你。”

　　随着英语的国际化越来越广泛,我国的英语学习者也逐年激增,各大英语学习网站也推出英语美文的赏析和阅读。有很多英语学习者喜欢背诵这些美文以提高自己的英语水平,以下是我为大家整理的关于短篇英语美文朗诵文章，给大家作为参考，欢迎阅读!

短篇英语美文朗诵文章篇1：If I Rest, I Rust

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 bit of idleness Even the most industrious person 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

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

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 bee 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 bee a famous astronomer

　　Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spa odic, 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

译文：

如果我休息，我就会生锈

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。

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。

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。

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。

短篇英语美文朗诵文章篇2：panionship of Books

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the pany he keeps; for there is a panionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best pany, whether it be of books or of men

A good book may be among the best of friends It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change It is the most patient and cheerful of panions It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and forting and consoling us in age

Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book” The book is a truer and higher bond of union Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author They live in him together, and he in them

A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, bee our constant panions and forters

Books possess an essence of immortality They are by far the most lasting products of human effort Temples and statues decay, but books survive Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive e but what is really good

Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived We hear what they said and did; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience bees ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe

The great and good do not die, even in this world Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad The book is a living voice It is an intellect to which on still listens

译文：

以书为伴节选

通常看一个读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友，我们都应该以最好的为伴。

好书就像是你最好的朋友。它始终不渝，过去如此，现在如此，将来也永远不变。它是最有耐心，最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们穷愁潦倒，临危遭难时，它也不会抛弃我们，对我们总是一如既往地亲切。在我们年轻时，好书陶冶我们的性情，增长我们的知识;到我们年老时，它又给我们以慰藉和勉励。

人们常常因为喜欢同一本书而结为知已，就像有时两个人因为敬慕同一个人而成为朋友一样。有句古谚说道：“爱屋及屋。”其实“爱我及书”这句话蕴涵更多的哲理。书是更为真诚而高尚的情谊纽带。人们可以通过共同喜爱的作家沟通思想，交流感情，彼此息息相通，并与自己喜欢的作家思想相通，情感相融。

好书常如最精美的宝器，珍藏着人生的思想的精华，因为人生的境界主要就在于其思想的境界。因此，最好的书是金玉良言和崇高思想的宝库，这些良言和思想若铭记于心并多加珍视，就会成为我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰藉。

书籍具有不朽的本质，是为人类努力创造的最为持久的成果。寺庙会倒坍，神像会朽烂，而书却经久长存。对于伟大的思想来说，时间是无关紧要的。多年前初次闪现于作者脑海的伟大思想今日依然清新如故。时间惟一的作用是淘汰不好的作品，因为只有真正的佳作才能经世长存。

书籍介绍我们与最优秀的人为伍，使我们置身于历代伟人巨匠之间，如闻其声，如观其行，如见其人，同他们情感交融，悲喜与共，感同身受。我们觉得自己仿佛在作者所描绘的舞台上和他们一起粉墨登场。

即使在人世间，伟大杰出的人物也永生不来。他们的精神被载入书册，传于四海。书是人生至今仍在聆听的智慧之声，永远充满著活力。

短篇英语美文朗诵文章篇3：Youth

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 Nobody grows old merely by a number of years We grow old by deserting our ideals

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusia wrinkles the soul Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynici and the ice of pessimi , then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimi , there’s hope you may die young at 80

译文：

青春

青春不是年华，而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢巨集的想象，炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的讯号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。 、

一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观讯号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

短篇英语美文朗诵文章篇4：Three Days to See

All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited

Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets

Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to e There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry” But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death

In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed He bees more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do

Most of us, however, take life for granted We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable We seldom think of it The days stretch out in an endless vista So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life

The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in life But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill

I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early life Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound

译文：

假如给我三天光明节选

我们都读过震撼人心的故事，故事中的主人公只能再活一段很有限的时光，有时长达一年，有时却短至一日。但我们总是想要知道，注定要离世人的会选择如何度过自己最后的时光。当然，我说的是那些有选择权利的自由人，而不是那些活动范围受到严格限定的死囚。

这样的故事让我们思考，在类似的处境下，我们该做些什么作为终有一死的人，在临终前的几个小时内我们应该做什么事，经历些什么或做哪些联想回忆往昔，什么使我们开心快乐什么又使我们悔恨不已

有时我想，把每天都当作生命中的最后一天来边，也不失为一个极好的生活法则。这种态度会使人格外重视生命的价值。我们每天都应该以优雅的姿态，充沛的精力，抱着感恩之心来生活。但当时间以无休止的日，月和年在我们面前流逝时，我们却常常没有了这种子感觉。当然，也有人奉行“吃，喝，享受”的享乐主义信条，但绝大多数人还是会受到即将到来的死亡的惩罚。

在故事中，将死的主人公通常都在最后一刻因突降的幸运而获救，但他的价值观通常都会改变，他变得更加理解生命的意义及其永恒的精神价值。我们常常注意到，那些生活在或曾经生活在死亡阴影下的人无论做什么都会感到幸福。

然而，我们中的大多数人都把生命看成是理所当然的。我们知道有一天我们必将面对死亡，但总认为那一天还在遥远的将来。当我们身强体健之时，死亡简直不可想象，我们很少考虑到它。日子多得好像没有尽头。因此我们一味忙于琐事，几乎意识不到我们对待生活的冷漠态度。

我担心同样的冷漠也存在于我们对自己官能和意识的运用上。只有聋子才理解听力的重要，只有盲人才明白视觉的可贵，这尤其适用于那些成年后才失去视力或听力之苦的人很少充分利用这些宝贵的能力。他们的眼睛和耳朵模糊地感受着周围的景物与声音，心不在焉，也无所感激。这正好我们只有在失去后才懂得珍惜一样，我们只有在生病后才意识到健康的可贵。

我经常想，如果每个人在年轻的时候都有几天失时失聪，也不失为一件幸事。黑暗将使他更加感镭射明，寂静将告诉他声音的美妙。

Get together gather …, family reunion

In China, Mid-autumn Day is considered to be a symbol of family reunion On this day, all the family members gather together at home to celebrate this special occasion Last year, I could not celebrate the festival with my family because I was in university However, this special day left a deep impression on me

I still remember the atmosphere of that evening All the students who could not go back home assembled in our classroom, having a party to celebrate this traditional festival We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm As an ethnic minority, I performed a peacock dance, which received warm applause After the two-hour party, we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day We ate moon cakes, played cards, and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our classmates In that harmonious atmosphere, nobody felt lonely or homesick even though we were far away from our homes

Thanks to our classmates, I experienced such a colorful and interesting Mid-autumn Day at my university Thus, I learned to value all the festivals I spent during my university life

2

Today is the Mid-autumn festival , I feel very happy Many of my friends gave me mooncakes and I gave them too to show our friedship I went shopping with my parents and there were lots of people in the street We bought bags of things to have a happy day

During the evening we ate mooncakes and watch the moon , and we were really so happy that the whole family could get together to spend the special day It was really a day I would remeber long

1 Mid-Autumn Day,all the country is celebrating The streets are full of people, the loves are holding each other tightilyEveryone has his dayHowever,I am lonelyNo one to hold,no one to kiss,no ont to talk!

I was walking around the street without purpose,seeing the lovers kissing,watching the fireworkes alone,walking backe room whist

Mid-autumn Day

I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in Chi-na Everybody likes it because it's a family get-together You see> it is called"Mid-Autumn Day", so it often comes in September or October It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month Now, let's say something about this interesting festival

Firstly, I'd like to say something about the moon I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future That day the moon is round, big, just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth When I see the moon, I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows I will also think about Armstrong's first moonwalk I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island, in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad I know they are missing us very much, too

Secondly, I'11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day Look！There's a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky That is a family reunion dinner The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world

Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn Day My wishes are: the first, I, an astronaut in the future, would like to go to the moon one day, and stay with the sky and stars; the second, I hope every person in the world will stay with family, share love from the family forever; the third, I hope everybody's dream will come true

That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind I will always re-member: East or West, home is best

关于友情的英语演讲稿作文1

Friendship is both a source of pleasure and a part of good health

友谊既是快乐的源泉又是健康的要素。

People who have close friends naturally enjoy their company Of equal importance are the emotional benefits they get

有好友的人们总是喜欢友人的陪伴。同样重要的是,人们能够从友谊那里获得情感的馈赠。

When something amazing happens to you, sharing the happiness of the occasion with friends doubles your joy  On the other hand, in times of trouble and tension and when our spirits are low, talking about our worries and fears with friends lightens the stress Moreover, we may even get some good suggestions for solving our problems

当有好事发生的时候,与朋友分享这份快乐会使你的快乐加倍。相反地,当我们身处麻烦和不安中而情绪低落的时候,向朋友倾诉忧虑和恐惧会减轻你的压力。我们甚至还可以从朋友那里获得建议来解决我们的问题。

Throughout life, we depend on small groups of people for love, admiration, respect, support, and help Almost everyone has a "network" of friends: co-workers, neighbors, and schoolmates

在一生当中,我们依赖周围亲近的人给予喜爱、赞赏、尊敬、支持和帮助。几乎每个人都有一个朋友"网":同事、邻居和同学。

Some people have shied away from close relationships in which they need to have confidence in others By bottling up their emotions, they keep themselves away from a healthy outlet1 for their negative feelings

关于友情的英语演讲稿作文2

Friendship is a kind of human relations It is a human instinct to make friendsWhen in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and encouragement With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys

Friendship is also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection,and readiness to help No man can make the most of his life without carefully and conscientiously striving to win the right kind of friends as he goes along

Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends Real friends are those who have good character, superior ability and kindness of heart Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our joysWhile making friends, we should take care to select those who have such fine qualities Then we should treat our friends with courtesy, be careful not to interfere unreasonably with them,and not to ridicule their proceedings We should forgive their failures and do our best to help them In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life

友谊是一种人际关系。交友是人的一种本能。患难之中，我们需要朋友帮助、支持和鼓励。取得了成绩，我们也需要朋友分享欢乐。

友谊又是我们可以享受的乐趣之一。友谊蕴含真诚、热忱、怜悯、挚爱和乐于助人之意。在人的一生中，如果不认真谨慎地力求交结正直的朋友，他就不能从生活中获得益处。

懂得了友谊是多么宝贵之后，就应谨慎地选择朋友。真正的朋友品性良好，能力上等，心地善良;真正的朋友能分担我们的忧伤，倍增我们的欢乐。交友之时，要谨慎选择具有这样美好品质的人。然后应以礼待友，当心不要无理地妨碍他们，不嘲笑他们的所作所为。我们应原谅朋友的失败，并尽己所能帮助他们。 简言之，建立了友谊之后，要通过言语和行动来珍惜友谊，像爱护宝物一样爱惜友谊。只有这样，才能发展真正的友谊，让神圣的友谊之灯照亮我们一生。

　　经典英语文章欣赏篇一

　那些年那些天非做不可的事情

　Age has reached the end of the beginning of a word May be guilty in his seems to passing a lot of different life became the appearance of the same day; May be back in the past, to oneself the paranoid weird belief disillusionment, these days, my mind has been very messy, in my mind constantly Always feel oneself should go to do something, or write something Twenty years of life trajectory deeply shallow, suddenly feel something, do it

　一字开头的年龄已经到了尾声。或许是愧疚于自己似乎把转瞬即逝的很多个不同的日子过成了同一天的样子;或许是追溯过去，对自己那些近乎偏执的怪异信念的醒悟，这些天以来，思绪一直很凌乱，在脑海中不断纠缠。总觉得自己自己似乎应该去做点什么，或者写点什么。二十年的人生轨迹深深浅浅，突然就感觉到有些事情，非做不可了。

　The end of our life, and can meet many things really do

　而穷尽我们的一生，又能遇到多少事情是真正地非做不可

经典英语文章欣赏篇三

　母爱的真谛-永远不后悔

　Time is running out for my friend While we are sitting at lunch she casually mentions she and her husband are thinking of starting a family "We're taking a survey,"she says, half-joking "Do you think I should have a baby"

　"It will change your life," I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral "I know,"she says, "no more sleeping in on weekends, no more spontaneous holidays"

　But that's not what I mean at all I look at my friend, trying to decide what to tell her I want her to know what she will never learn in childbirth classes I want to tell her that the physical wounds of child bearing will heal, but becoming a mother will leave her with an emotional wound so raw that she will be vulnerable forever

　I consider warning her that she will never again read a newspaper without thinking: "What if that had been MY child" That every plane crash, every house fire will haunt her That when she sees pictures of starving children, she will wonder if anything could be worse than watching your child die I look at her carefully manicured nails and stylish suit and think that no matter how sophisticated she is, becoming a mother will reduce her to the primitive level of a bear protecting her cub

　I feel I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested in her career, she will be professionally derailed by motherhood She might arrange for child care, but one day she will be going into an important business meeting, and she will think her baby's sweet smell She will have to use every ounce of discipline to keep from running home, just to make sure her child is all right

　I want my friend to know that every decision will no longer be routine That a five-year-old boy's desire to go to the men's room rather than the women's at a restaurant will become a major dilemma The issues of independence and gender identity will be weighed against the prospect that a child molester may be lurking in the lavatory However decisive she may be at the office, she will second-guess herself constantly as a mother

　Looking at my attractive friend, I want to assure her that eventually she will shed the added weight of pregnancy, but she will never feel the same about herself That her own life, now so important, will be of less value to her once she has a child She would give it up in a moment to save her offspring, but will also begin to hope for more years—not to accomplish her own dreams—but to watch her children accomplish theirs

　I want to describe to my friend the exhilaration of seeing your child learn to hit a ball I want to capture for her the belly laugh of a baby who is touching the soft fur of a dog for the first time I want her to taste the joy that is so real it hurts

　My friend's look makes me realize that tears have formed in my eyes "You'll never regret it," I say finally Then, squeezing my friend's hand, I offer a prayer for her and me and all of the mere mortal women who stumble their way into this holiest of callings

　时光任苒，朋友已经老大不小了。我们坐在一起吃饭的时候，她漫不经心地提到她和她的丈夫正考虑要小孩。“我们正在做一项调查，”她半开玩笑地说。“你觉得我应该要个小孩吗”

　“他将改变你的生活。”我小心翼翼地说道，尽量使语气保持客观。“这我知道。”她答道，“周末睡不成懒觉，再也不能随心所欲休假了……”

　但我说的绝非这些。我注视着朋友，试图整理一下自己的思绪。我想让她知道她永远不可能在分娩课上学到的东西。我想让她知道：分娩的有形伤疤可以愈合，但是做母亲的情感伤痕却永远如新，她会因此变得十分脆弱。

　我想告诫她：做了母亲后，每当她看报纸时就会情不自禁地联想：“如果那件事情发生在我的孩子身上将会怎样啊!”每一次飞机失事、每一场住宅火灾都会让她提心吊胆。看到那些忍饥挨饿的孩子们的照片时，她会思索：世界上还有什么比眼睁睁地看着自己的孩子饿死更惨的事情呢我打量着她精修细剪的指甲和时尚前卫的衣服，心里想到：不管她打扮多么考究，做了母亲后，她会变得像护崽的母熊那样原始而不修边幅。

　我觉得自己应该提醒她，不管她在工作上投入了多少年，一旦做了母亲，工作就会脱离常规。她自然可以安排他人照顾孩子，但说不定哪天她要去参加一个非常重要的商务会议，却忍不住想起宝宝身上散发的甜甜乳香。她不得不拼命克制自己，才不致于为了看看孩子是否安然无羔而中途回家。

　我想告诉朋友，有了孩子后，她将再也不能按照惯例做出决定。在餐馆，5岁的儿子想进男厕而不愿进女厕将成为摆在她眼前的一大难题：她将在两个选择之间权衡一番：尊重孩子的独立和性别意识，还是让他进男厕所冒险被潜在的 儿童 性骚扰者侵害任凭她在办公室多么果断，作为母亲，她仍经常事后后悔自己当时的决定。

　注视着我的这位漂亮的朋友，我想让她明确地知道，她最终会恢复到怀孕前的体重，但是她对自己的感觉已然不同。她现在视为如此重要的生命将随着孩子的诞生而变得不那么宝贵。为了救自己的孩子，她时刻愿意献出自己的生命。但她也开始希望多活一些年头，不是为了实现自己的梦想，而是为了看着孩子们美梦成真。

　我想向朋友形容自己看到孩子学会击球时的喜悦之情。我想让她留意宝宝第一次触摸狗的绒毛时的捧腹大笑。我想让她品尝快乐，尽管这快乐真实得令人心痛。

　朋友的表情让我意识到自己已经是热泪盈眶。“你永远不会后悔，”我最后说。然后紧紧地握住朋友的手，为她、为自己、也为每一位艰难跋涉、准备响应母亲职业神圣的召唤的平凡女性献上自己的祈祷。
