Keep Walking in Sunshine

记得要走在阳光下，无论你这一天遇到什么糟糕的事，当走在阳光下的时候，也会感觉温暖。
Greta always said, "dear, keep walking in sunshine!" no matter how terrible my day started, i always felt sunny walking home from greta’s house-even beneath the winter starlight.
葛丽塔总是这样说：“亲爱的，请走在阳光里！”无论我过的每一天是如何糟糕地开始，从葛丽塔的小屋出来走回家的时候，即使是披着冬夜的星光，我都会感觉心情愉悦。
I arrived at greta’s house today just after sunset. an ambulance had stopped a few feet from her door, it’s red lights flashing. when i ran into the old house, greta recognized me right away.
这天，我在傍晚后来到了葛丽塔的家。一辆救护停在她家门口附近，红色的灯在闪烁不停。当我冲进她家的老房子，葛丽塔立刻认出了我。
She smiled at me with her unforgettable twinkling blue eyes. she was almost out of breath when she reached out and softly touched my arm. her last words to me were "dear, keep walking in sunshine!"
她对我微笑，一双令人难忘的蓝眼睛闪烁着光芒。当她艰难地走出来，温柔地抚摸着我的胳膊的时候，她几乎已经奄奄一息。她对我说的最后一句话是：“亲爱的，记得一直要走在阳光下。”

煮沸的水，同样的困境不同的结局....
A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her, She did not know she was going to make it and want to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
有一个女孩向她父亲抱怨她的生活，她觉得凡事都很艰难，不知该怎样挺过去，想放弃。她厌倦了不断的抗争和奋斗，似乎一个问题刚刚解决，另一个问题马上呈现。

　　Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen, He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire .Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He led them sit and boil, without saying a word.
她的父亲是个厨师，他把她带到了厨房。他在三个壶里分别装满了水，然后放到高温的火上烧。很快，壶里的水被煮开了。他往第一个壶里放了些胡萝卜，往第二个壶里放了几个鸡蛋，在最后一个壶里放了些磨碎的咖啡豆，然后，一句话也没说，他由着水把它们煮沸。
　　The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners, He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her he asked," Darling, what do you see?"
女儿咂巴着牙齿发出声响，不耐烦地等着，对父亲的行为感到很纳闷。大约二十分钟后，父亲关掉了火炉，把胡萝卜捞出来，放到一个碗里。又把鸡蛋拣出来放进另一个碗里，接着把咖啡用勺子舀出来倒进一个杯子里，然后转过头来，对她说，“亲爱的，你看到的是什么？”
　　"Carrots, eggs, and coffee." she replied.
“胡萝卜、鸡蛋和咖啡。”她答道。
　　He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots, she did and noted that they were soft .He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee .She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.
父亲把她带近了这些东西，要她去摸胡萝卜，她摸了之后，注意到，它们变柔软了。然后，他又要她去拿一个鸡蛋并把它敲破，在把壳剥掉之后，她观察了这个煮熟的鸡蛋。最后，父亲要她饮一口咖啡。尝着芳香四溢的咖啡，她微笑起来。
　　"What does it mean, Father?" she humbly asked.
“这是什么意思，父亲？”她谦逊地问道。
　　He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and weak. The egg had being fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water. its inside became hardened ,The ground coffee beans were unique ,however ,After they were in the boiling water ,they had changed the water .
父亲解释说，这三样东西面临着同样的逆境——煮沸的水。但它们的反应却各不相同。胡萝卜本是硬的，坚固而且强度大，但受到煮沸的水的影响后，它变得柔软而脆弱。鸡蛋本来易碎，薄薄的外壳保护着内部的液体。但是在经历过煮沸的水以后，它的内部却变得坚硬。不过，最独特的却是磨碎的咖啡豆，当它们被放入煮沸的水之后，它们却改变了水。
　　"Which are you?" he asked his daughter.
“哪一个是你呢？”他问女儿。
　　When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
当逆境找上你时，你该如何应对呢？ 你是胡萝卜、鸡蛋，还是咖啡豆？

人生若只如初见....
Life Is A Test
　　人生是一场考试
　　It makes for a lot of stress, and we tend to feel that there will be more hard lessons in life。
　　这是个让人充满压力的比喻，我们时常感觉人生就是一个不断面临各种课题的过程。
　　Life Is An Adventure
　　人生是一次冒险
　　It orients us towards seeing the unpredictable events and circumstances as potentially fun and interesting challenges。
　　这个比喻强调了生命中不可预知的情况，并暗示我们将未知因素视为有趣的挑战。
　　Life Is A Punishment
　　人生是一个惩罚
　　It is inherent in some religions, which suggest a punishing "purification" through life as a means to some great reward afterward。
　　这个比喻来源于某些宗教，它们认为人生就是通过惩罚性的“净化”以在死后通达更高的境界。

　　Life Is An Opportunity
　　人生是一次机遇
　　The perspective this creates is one that encourages actions and going after your dreams and goals。
　　这个比喻鼓励我们积极采取行动，追逐梦想和目标。
　　Life Is A Waiting Room
　　人生是一间等候室
　　It is hard to imagine a more passive perspective: we wait for "our ship to come in," for example, or say, "my time will come." We wait to hear "opportunity knocking," or "my turn." Of course, none of these ideas encourage us to take action to make things happen。
　　或许没有比这个比喻更消极的了：如果我们总是等待救生筏，等待时机的到来，等待机遇来敲门……当然，也就不会主动采取行动了。
