美文欣賞:我要用全身心的愛來迎接今天 (1)

 

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)?，這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(duì)；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(jià)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(duì)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(bào)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)。

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

And how will I speak? I will laud mine enemies and they will become friends; I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.

我該怎樣說呢？我贊美敵人。敵人于是成為朋友；我鼓勵(lì)朋友，朋友于是成為手足。我要常想理由贊美別人，絕不搬弄是非，道人長短。想要批評(píng)人時(shí)，咬住舌頭，想要贊美人時(shí)，高聲表達(dá)。

Is it not so that birds, the wind, the sea and all nature speaks with the music of praise for their creator? Cannot I speak with the same music to his children? Henceforth will I remember this secret and it will change my life.

飛鳥，清風(fēng)，海浪，自然界的萬物不都在用美妙動(dòng)聽的歌聲贊美造物主嗎？我也要用同樣的歌聲贊美她的兒女。從今往后，我要記住這個(gè)秘密。它將改變我的生活。

I will greet this day with love in my heart.
