Love Begins with a Smile

Guidance for Reciting

Love is ever matter of comedies,and how and then of tragedies.

Love begins with a smile,

grows with a kiss,ends with a tear.

When you were born,

you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so that when you die,

you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

爱情以笑开始

诵读导言

爱情常是喜剧,偶尔是悲剧。

爱情以笑开始,

以吻转浓,以泪结束。

当你哭着降临人世时,身边的每个人都在为此欢笑,

好好生活吧,

这样你就能含笑离开人世,而身边的每个人都在为此哭泣。

口语点津

这首诗是如此富有哲理,让我们再来看几句发人深思的精彩语句吧:

1.I love you not because of who you are,but because of who I am when I am with you.

我爱你,不是因为你是一个怎样的人,而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。

2.No man or woman is worth your tears,and the one who is,won't make you cry.

没有人值得你流泪,值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。

3.The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

失去某人,最糟糕的莫过于,他近在身旁,却犹如远在天边
