篇一：what's your life 无论你的生活如何卑微

What’s your life

However mean your life is,meet it and live it;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hours,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town, but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.Which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

无论你的生活如何卑微，要正视它，生活下去；不要躲避它，也不要恶语相加。你的生活不像你本人那么糟糕。你最富有的时候，你的生活看上去倒是最贫穷的。吹毛求疵的人即便在天堂也能挑出瑕疵。要热爱你的生活，尽管它可能是一贫如洗。即使身处贫民院，你也可能享受一段愉快、兴奋、辉煌的时光。西斜的落日映照在贫民院窗户上的余晖，与照射在富贵人家的豪宅上一样光芒万丈；门前的积雪一样在早春消融。我只看到，一个气定神闲的人在那里可以过着自得其乐的生活，抱着振奋乐观的思想，如同居住在皇宫里一般。依我之见，城镇的贫民倒是往往过着最独立的生活。也许他们十分伟大，对任何事情皆可坦然受之。大多数人认为他们不屑于接受城镇的施救；但是实际上他们经常使用不诚实的手段来维持自己的生计，这是更为不体面的。如同栽培花园中芬芳的花草一般在贫困中耕耘吧。犯不着千辛万苦以求获得新东西，无论是衣服还是朋友。把旧的翻新再回归其中。万事万物没有变，是我们在变。衣履可鬻，所思必存。

<无论你的生活如何卑微>亨利·戴维·梭罗（Henry David Thoreau，1817-1862），美国作家、哲学家

篇三：A Paradise of the Birds

A Paradise of the Birds

Ba Jin

After we finished dinner at Chen?s little school, the heat of the day had already diminished. The sun retreated behind the hills, leaving brightly colored clouds hanging in the sky, over the hills and trees.

“Let?s go boating!” Chen proposed, as we watched the mountain view by the pond in front of the school gate.

“Great,” the rest of the group answered enthusiastically.

We walked through a gravel path, and before long we reached the bank, where a pavilion stood made of straw. Filing through the pavilion, we found several small boats anchored under two big trees along the bank.

One after another, we hopped into one of the boats. One friend loosened the rope, pushed the bamboo pole against the bank, which moved the boat to the center of the river.

Three friends were rowing; Ye and I were sitting in the middle, enjoying ourselves in the scenery surrounding us.

In the distance a pagoda was erected on the top of a hill, surrounded by many green trees. It was rare to see such a pagoda, and over there it was the hometown of my friend Ye.

The river was wide, the water glistening without a ripple. The boat was steadily floating on the water, the three oars pulling in rhythm.

Then the river narrowed at a certain point. Clusters of leaves stretched out touching the water?s surface. The leaves were in a lovely green color. There seemed to be many lush banyan trees, but I couldn?t make out where the main trunks of the trees were.

My friends immediately corrected me as I referred to them as being many banyan trees. One of them said it was only one banyan, and another said there were two. I had seen many enormous banyans before, but it was the first time I saw such a gigantic one.

As the boat drew nearer to the banyan, I finally got a good look at it. This was a huge tree, with countless branches, on which grew aerial prop roots.

Many of the roots were dangling to the ground, some all the way into the soil. There were branches hanging above the water. Seen from a distance, the tree seemed to be reposed on the water.

It was in the lush season (the tree bearing little fruits, many of which had fallen.) The banyan seemed to showcase its vibrant life energy to us. There were many leaves, clusters over clusters, with not even a tiny hole existing. The emerald green shining brightly in front of our eyes, it was like on each leaf there was a new life dancing. What a tree it is growing in the beautiful southern part of China!

The boat was moored under the tree for a moment, but we didn?t get onto the bank because it was so wet. A friend said it was known as the ?paradise of the birds? here. The local peasants forbade anyone to catch these birds. I thought I had heard some sounds of flapping wings, but by the time I shifted my eyes to that direction, I didn?t see any birds. There were many roots sticking out on the ground, looking like stakes. The soil was wet, perhaps for the tides frequently washed onto the shore. There were no birds in the “paradise of the birds,” I thought. The boat moved again, as a friend pushed the boat, and it drifted to the center of the river.

Along the path in the crop fields on the shore there were some litchi trees,

with clusters of the red weighty fruits hiding among the leaves. Our boat was heading towards there. A friend pulled the boat into a ditch with an oar. We moored the boat at the path, and jumped onto the bank.

Two friends swiftly climbed up the trees, throwing down several clusters of litchis with leaves. Chen, Ye and I were down below catching them. After they came down, we ate the litchis as we headed back to the boat.

On the following day, we boated to Ye?s hometown, the place we had seen the hills and the pagoda. Setting off from Chen?s little school, we passed the ?paradise of the birds? again.

This time it was morning, and the sun was pouring over the water, as well as the branches. Everything was extremely bright. We stopped under the tree for a moment.

It was very quiet at first, but then a burst of chirps broke the silence. Chen clapped his hands, and we saw a big bird flying over, then a second, and a third. We continued to clap, and soon the woods became very boisterous. Bird chirps were all over the place, and so were the birds, the big ones, small ones, variegated ones and black ones. Some perched on the branches, chirping; some were flying up; some were flapping their wings.

I busied myself by watching them. Just as I saw this one clearly, I already missed the other one, and when I turned my eyes to the second one, the third one had flown off. A thrush flew out, but was startled by our clapping and then turned back into the woods. It stopped at a thin branch, and started to sing enthusiastically. The sounds were so beautiful.

“Let?s go.” Ye rushed me to leave.

As the boat was floating to the village under the pagoda, I kept turning back to look at the lush banyan left behind. I felt a little melancholy to leave this place. Yesterday, I was cheated by my eyes. The “paradise of the birds” is a real paradise for the birds!

June, 1933 in Guangzhou.

篇五：Urban life or rural life

Urban life or rural life

Life tends to be a dilemma,

devote more energy to career,yourejoice in less recreation;

invest more fortune to venture,you undertake a higher risk;

hunt more wealth for corporation,youshoulder more social welfare; To pursue peace and harmony,how can we make a tough resolution? -----ChineseInscription

A decade passed,there broadcasted a fashion TV Series As you like iton Singaporean Channel talking over desires

vsrealities;Contemporarilythere also released a idol TV Series Beijing youthson Beijing Channel(combined with another three channels)based on desires vsrealities,valleysvsmetropolitans,invisible burdens vs fascinating mountains.Therefore we can’t resist putting forward a

problem that in an era of extravagance whether we harbor the privileges to long for a self-sufficient country life.

It’s self-evident yes.

At the beginning of reform and opening up,China has accelerated its modernization and urbanization,in the meanwhile,large sums of peasants come flooding to the surrounding cities.For a period of time,there stood numerous skyscrapers and

landmarks,forinstance,Shanghai Oriental Pearl TV Tower.Billions of

residents approve of the convenient public

facilities,transportation,purchasing, sightseeing,commercial activities associated with high-quality medical care and education.

Apparently,there is no denying that we have made considerable progress.However there exposed a certain inevitable problems. With recent frequent reports about the Golden Week of National Day,someare worth reflection.From the media,severe traffic jams and air pollution,lavish prices of restaurants and hotels(some unreasonable charges) followed by indifferent interaction.Admittedly,therestill exist a certain amount of issues which shouldn’t be neglected,such as inflation generated by unaffordable properties and unstable prices of petrol and gasoline.Higher pressure and exhaustion,exclusive medication and education,complicatedinterpersonal relationships make us puzzled and bored with the current environment.

So faced with the complex situation,we would rather create a paradise than flee from the realistic circumstances regardless of how much sacrifice we will encounter(Of course I don’t mean merely sinking into the virtual computer world).

Maybe I do maintain the view that I possess a tendency to the rural life.In addition to some inconveniences,I admire their lifestyle. They sow seeds,cultivateland,harvest vegetables and fruits;

They are determined,diligent,dedicated,living a self-satisfactory life;

They construct a hospitable atmosphere and provide enthusiastic accommodations.

They cherish the fresh air and hard-earned mortgage and deposit. They amuse themselves and barely ever commit crimes-a steady law and order.

As far as I’m concerned,my philosophy is to stick to Chinese Happy Medium,that is to say,I’d love be surrounded with a mountainous suberb,which sounds like a fancy tale to search for pure land in a splendid city.However,no one dares to recognize no.

As British dramatistWilliam Shakespeare put it,In delay there lies no plenty , Then come kiss me , sweet and twenty , Youth's a stuff that will not endure .Without regrets,we have no alternative but to become persistent,perseverant and purposeful.

Stars twinkle,collide and flash,yet an idea occurs to me in a sundden: Stay sensible,stayspirited;

Share sunshine,share seclusion;

Spray swink;sprinkle sweat;

Swallow sarrow,shallow scorn.
