The House of 1000 Mirrors

Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself,“This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often.”

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to

himself,“That is a horrible place, and I will never go back

there again.”

参考译文 千镜之屋

很久以前的一个很远的小村庄里，有一个以“千镜屋”而著名的地方。一只乐观的小狗听说了这个地方并决定去参观。当来到这个地方，他蹦蹦跳跳地上了台阶，来到房门口，高高地竖起耳朵，欢快地摇着尾巴，从门口往里张望，他惊奇地看到有1000只欢乐的小狗像他一样快地摇尾巴。他灿烂地微笑着，回报他的是1000张热情，友好的灿烂笑脸。离开时他心想：“这是一个精彩的地方，我一定要经常来参观。”

在这个村里还有另一只想参观“千镜屋”的小狗，他不及第一只小狗乐观，他慢吞吞地爬上台阶，然后耷拉着脑袋往屋子里看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他，他便开始冲他们狂吠，镜中的1000只

小狗也冲着他狂吠，把他给吓坏了，他在离开时心想：“这是一个恐怖的地方，我再也不会来了。”

世界上所有的脸都是镜子，在你所遇见的人的脸上你看到反射出来的是什么?

人生的五把钥匙

2001年5月，美国内华达州的麦迪逊中学在入学考试时出了这样一道题目：比尔。盖茨的办公桌上有五个带锁的抽屉，分别贴着财富、兴趣、幸福、荣誉五个标签。盖茨总是只带一把钥匙，而把其他四把所在抽屉里，请问盖茨带的是哪一把钥匙？其他的四把所在哪一个或哪几个抽屉里？

一位刚一名到美国的大陆学生，恰巧赶上这场考试，看到这个题目后，一下慌了手脚，因为他不知道这到底是一道语文题还是一道数学题。考试结束后，他去问他的担保人——该校的一名理事。理事告诉他，那是一道智能测试题，内容不在书上，也没有标准答案，每个人都可根据自己的理解自由地回答，但是老师有权根据他的观点给一个分数。

那位大陆学生在这道9分的题上得了5分。老师认为，他没答一字，至少说明他是诚实的，凭着一点就应该給一半以上的分数。但让他不能理解的是，他的同桌回答了这个题目，却得了1分，同桌的答案是，盖茨带的是财富抽屉上的钥匙，其他的钥匙都所在这个抽屉里。

后来，那位大陆学生通过E__mail把这道题发回国内，那位学生在邮件中对同学说，现在我已知道盖茨到底是那一把钥匙，凡是回答这把钥匙的，都得到了这位大富豪的肯定和赞赏，你们是否愿意测试一下，说不定从中还会得到一些启发。

同学们到底给出了多少答案，我们不得而知。但是，据说有一位聪明的同学登上了美国麦迪逊中学的网页，他在该网页上发现了比尔。盖茨给该校的回函。函件上写着这么一句话：在你最感兴趣的事物上，隐藏着你人生的秘密。

启示：

本文通过微软公司总裁比尔盖茨的五把钥匙中的一把——兴趣，形象而生动地告诉我们：人生成功的诀窍，就是干自己感兴趣的事，发挥自己的长处。比尔盖茨没有读完哈佛大学就经营电脑公司去了，他是及早发现自己兴趣，并决定发挥自己就长处的人。

文章虽短小，但蕴含人生哲理。最后一句“在你最感兴趣的事物上，隐藏着你人生的秘密”，不正是本文要揭示的道理吗？

英文哲理故事

Love is everything

Wealth Success and Love，A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat." "Is the man of the house home?", they asked. "No", she replied, "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a House together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked. One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, "and he is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home." The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!" His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?" Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Wouldn't it

be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love." "Let us heed our

daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest." The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?" The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!" . Love is everything.

译文：

有爱就有一切

三个白须飘然的老人坐在妇人家院前歇脚，三人中，一个是“财富”，一个是“成功”，一个是“爱”。妇人邀请他们进屋，三个老者笑呵呵地谢了她，身子却没动。妇人惑然。三个老人说：“我们不能同时进屋呀！不过，你可以去和你的家人商量，看你们最需要我们中的哪一个。”妇人便进屋把老人的话说了。丈夫惊喜道：“既然如此，我们就邀请财富老人吧，请他进来，让我们的屋里装满财富！” 妇人不同意：“亲爱的，我们为什么不邀请成功老人呢？做一切事情都能成功，那感觉会有多好！”这时候，儿媳插嘴进来，说：“我们还是邀请

爱吧，让我们的家时时处处都充满爱。”“那我们就听儿媳的吧！”一对夫妇朝儿媳点点头。 于是妇人出门，邀请爱的老人进屋作客。谁知爱的老人起身，成功老人和财富老人也都跟在后面。妇人感到惊讶：“我们邀请的是‘爱’，你们两位怎么也一起来了？” 三个老人乐了：“哪里有爱，哪里就有财富和成功！”。有爱就有一切。 《Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity》

Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do, gathers so richly about my soul as when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will always inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment

might present… to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into a fragrant garden of flowers.
