雨中的記憶 Run through the rain
She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth, it has no time to flow down the spout.
她和媽媽剛在沃爾瑪結(jié)束購物。這個天真的小女孩應(yīng)該6歲大了,頭發(fā)是美麗的棕色,臉上有雀斑。外面下著傾盆大雨。雨水溢滿了檐槽,來不及排走,就迫不及待地涌漲上地面。
We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We all waited, some patiently, others irritated, because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
我們都站在沃爾瑪門口的遮篷下。大家都在等待,有人很耐心,有人很煩躁,因?yàn)槔咸煸诮o他們本已忙碌的一天添亂。雨天總引起我的遐思。我出神地聽著、看著老天沖刷洗滌這世界的污垢和塵埃,孩時無憂無慮地在雨中奔跑玩水的記憶洶涌而至,暫時緩解了我一天的焦慮。
Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, “Mom, let's run through the rain." she said.
小女孩甜美的聲音打破了這令人昏昏欲睡的氣氛,“媽媽,我們在雨里跑吧。”她說。
"What?" Mom asked.
“什么?”母親問。
"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.
“我們在雨里跑吧,”她重復(fù)。
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit." Mom replied.
“不,親愛的,我們等雨小一點(diǎn)再走。”母親回答說。

The unseen power of love 無形的愛的力量
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
我要用全身心的愛來迎接今天。
For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.
因?yàn)椋@是一切成功的最大秘密。強(qiáng)力能夠劈開一塊盾牌,甚至毀滅生命,但是只有愛才具有無與倫比的力量,使人們敞開心扉。在掌握了愛的藝術(shù)之前,我只算商場上的無名小卒。我要讓愛成為我最大的武器,沒有人能抵擋它的威力。
My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.
我的理論,他們也許反對;我的言談,他們也許懷疑;我的穿著,他們也許不贊成;我的長相,他們也許不喜歡;甚至我廉價出售的商品都可能使他們將信將疑,然而我的愛心一定能溫暖他們,就像太陽的光芒能溶化冰冷的凍土。
I will greet this day with love in my heart.
我要用全身心的愛來迎接今天。
And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
我該怎樣做呢?從今往后,我對一切都要滿收愛心,這樣才能獲得新生。我愛太陽,它溫暖我的身體;我愛雨水。它洗凈我的靈魂;我愛光明,它為我指引道路;我也愛黑夜,它讓我看到星辰、我迎接快樂,它使我心胸開闊;我忍受悲傷,它升華我的靈魂;我接受報酬。因?yàn)槲覟榇烁冻龊顾?我不怕困難,因?yàn)樗鼈兘o我挑戰(zhàn)。
有時候在讀一篇英語精美散文時,你可能會覺得不太好理解,畢竟英文和中文從語法和表達(dá)方式上都是有著明顯區(qū)別的,但聽力課堂的老師們則建議大家不用過分糾結(jié)于是否理解,而是應(yīng)該先從感受英文和適應(yīng)英文做起。
