67. An Early Morning Walk 清晨散步
One morning I got up early so I went outdoors for a change. It was so early when I left home that the streets were deserted. Without the usual crowds and traffic, everything was very quiet.
一天早晨我起得很早,為了變化一下就到戶外去散步。我離家的時候太早,路上幾乎無人。沒有通常的人流和車流,一切都是那么安靜。
I made my way to the park, and found, to my surprise, that there were so many people there. Some were doing Taijiquan or morning exercises, some were sitting peacefully on the benches, and some were feeding pigeons and making them fly up and down.
我向公園走去,驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)那兒已經(jīng)有許多人了。有的在打太極拳或晨練,有的靜靜地坐在長椅上,還有人在喂鴿子,使鴿子飛上飛下。
One or two hours later, I left the park and walked home, feeling much refreshed and very energetic. An old English saying suddenly crept into my mind, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." I do believe it.
一兩個小時后,我離開公園回家,感到清新愉快,充滿活力。突然,一個英語成語在我腦海里出現(xiàn):“早睡早起使人健康、富裕、聰明。”我相信如此。
