四月的日子

迷人的日子,幽香阵阵,山山树树焕发生机,恋人一般的冬与春相见在午夜的薄雾中,别离——在这四月的日子。夜晚,树蛙鸣声轻微,一声——两声——然后一片沉寂;啄木鸟的啼叫雄威,似军号之声传遍山岭——穿过死沉的雾气。白天,雨水滋润,土地和暖,羞怯的风儿悄悄穿过林间,充满松树和杨树的气息;欢乐的大地似舞者旋转——在整个四月的日子!四月的日子@哈姆林·加兰 @王海强     

布什总统在九·一一事件三周年纪念日的广播讲话

“9·11”袭击事件使世界霸主美国认识到:只要恐怖主义行动存在,美国就无安宁之日。小布什总统去年的这篇广播讲话在回顾2001年世贸中心和五角大楼发生的惊心动魄的一幕幕时,既表达了美国政府对受害者的悼念及对家属的崇敬、关怀,也表达了对有奉献和牺牲精神的美国同胞的感激之情,同时也表达了反恐之决心。至于这张反恐牌怎么打,恐怕就连美国自己心里也实在没底!

校长给我上的人生一课

she stood at the front were prisoners."Keep in mind that I'm the boss."she said. "You will do as you are told, and if you don't, I'll make your lives miserable! This was my first faculty meeting of the year-as a new teacher my first ever-and this woman was my principal.     

选择乐观

Iteach economics at UNLV( =University of Nevada,Las Vegas, 内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校) three times per week. Last Monday,at the beginning of class,I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so     

一双袜子

一个晴朗的下午,我沿第五大街而行,忽然想起需要买双袜子。为何我只想买一双,现在原因已无关紧要了。我拐进跃如入眼帘的第一家袜店,一个不到17岁的男售货员迎上来,说:“先生,您要买什么?”“我想买双短袜。”他双眸闪闪发光,声音饱含激情。“您知道您进的可是世上最好的袜店吗?”我倒并未意识到这点,我是偶然进来的。“随我来”,男孩欣喜若狂地说。我跟着他到了店的后部。他开始从货架上拽下一个接一个箱子,向我展示里面的袜子,让我欣赏。“停一停,孩子,我只买一双!”“我知道,”他说,“但我想让您瞧瞧这些袜子是多么惊奇地漂亮!难道它们不漂亮?!”他的脸上漾着狂喜,庄严而神圣,就象是向我启示他所笃信的宗教里的玄义似的。我对他远远超过了对袜子的兴趣。我吃惊地打量着他。“我的朋友,”我说,“如果你能这样保持下去,如果这热情并不仅仅缘于新奇,缘于找到份工作,如果你能日复一日地保持这种热心和激情,不出十年,你就会拥有全美的袜子商店。”我对他卖货时的自豪与欣喜所产生的诧异,读者诸君当不难理解。在很多店铺,顾客不得不等待有人接应。当终于有个售货员肯屈尊理你,那样子让你感觉又象是打扰了他似的。他不是陷于讨厌被人搅扰的深思之中,就是和女售货员嬉戏...     

Yee和Lan的爱情故事

为何一个人爱恋对方时会送戒指呢？这个凄美而浪漫的传说娓娓诉说了这“爱的光环”的由来。 Once upon a time,in a solar system that is so,so far away from here that you wouldn't believe me if I told you, were two planets. Their names were Yee and Lan,and they loved each other very much. Every time they saw each other they would whisper planet secrets,or share wisps of atmosphere, or tell silly jokes. But they were a little sad.because it was so long between times that they got to be near each other,what with orbital mechanics being what
