爱的旋律
Some Words for Love
I am the wind,the gentle wind; I am the clouds,the slow,driftingdrifting adj.漂流的,飘动的 clouds; I am the water,the silent water; I am the mountains,the boundlessboundless adj.无限的,无边无际的 mountains.
If you so want,I will be the gentle wind that will wrap around your lonely spirit! If you so desiredesire vt.想望,期望,希望,请求(官方丈礼),I will be the slow,drifting clouds that will unquestioningly be your support! If you so wish,I will be that silent water,without a murmur,protecting you by your side. If you so will,I will love you unrelentingly,just like those boundless,unbroken mountain ranges and valleys!
But,I regret I am not the wind and not able to take care of you. I hate that I am not the clouds and not able to bring you warmth; I pity myself that I am not the water and not able to be so pure; I am angry that I am not the mountains and not able to have my love will be as immovableimmovable adj.固定的,不动的,不改变的 as I would like.
I can only be myself this time,my mortal,earthly self,my only self,the only self that I can ever hope to be. I thirst for love but I do not understand her deep mystery. I strive for transcendencetranscendence n.卓越,出类拔萃 but I would rather be silent and nameless. I want to be mature but I would rather remain innocent. I would like that she love me,but I do not know even if I truly love her! Endless searching,thirsting,striving,pursuing-where are my goals? Where is my future?
In this mundanemundane adj.世界的,世俗的,平凡的 world,I am one lonely speck; in this universe I am a powerless particle of dust. My love,thought beautiful,is nothing great in itself. And so,I ask only to live as well as I can.
In truth,there is no need to live ones life basking in glory,rising above men-so long as ones life has some value,has some security.
Fearless and capriciouscapricious adj.反复无常的,love will cause me great pain. Youth,transient and inconstant,will bring me loneliness. Work,busy and mindless,will make me lost.
I am just searching for and waiting for some of that which shines,that which is radiantradiant adj.发光的,辐射的,容光焕发的 in life.
爱之语
我是风,轻轻的风;我是云,缓缓的云;我是水,静静的水;我是山,连绵的山。
如果你愿意,我愿做那轻轻的风抚慰你寂寞的心灵!如果你愿意,我就是那缓缓的云从容地让你依偎!如果你愿意,我来做你身边静静的水默默地将你守护!如果你愿意,我将会不懈地爱你就像那连绵不断的山川!
我悔我不是风,因为我不够体贴;我恨我不是云,因为我不够温柔;我怨我不是水,因为我不够清澈;我怒我不是山,因为我的爱不够坚定。
我只能做回自己,平凡的自己,唯一的自己,寻求中的自己。我渴望爱情但是却不懂她的深奥,我向往不平凡但是却甘愿默默无名。我追求成熟但是我宁愿单纯。我但愿她能喜欢我,但是我又不知道我是否喜欢她。寻求、渴望、向往、追求,哪里是我的目标和未来。
俗世间我是孤独的一粒,宇宙间我是无为的尘埃,我的爱虽然美好,但并不伟大,所以我只是想好好的活着。
其实人生未必要过的轰轰烈烈,出人头地,只要过的有价值,活的很踏实。
无畏的爱,会让我很痛苦;悸动的青春,会让我很寂寞;忙碌的工作,会让我容易迷茫。
我只是在寻找,我亦是在等待——生命中的璀璨光辉。
Love Is Just a Thread
Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition tuition n.学费 for my brother and me. They dont act in the romantic ways that I read in books for I see on TV. In their opinion,“I love you” is too luxurious luxurious adj.奢侈的,豪华的 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentines Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When hes very tired from the hard work,it is easy for him to lose his temper.
One day,my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.
“Mom,I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.
“What?” she replied,still doing her work.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didnt answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew sew v.缝制,缝纫,缝合 her quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassmentembarrassment n.困窘,阻碍 and I didnt know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:“Susan,” she said thoughtfully,“Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears,but most of time it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durabledurable adj.持久的,耐用的. If life is a quilt,then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime,but its really there. Love is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldnt understand her until the next spring. At that time,my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital,they both looked very pale. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.
After they were back,every day in the morning and dusk,my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. It seemed they were the most harmoniousharmonious adj.和谐的,协调的,和睦的,悦耳的 couple. Along the country road,there were many beautiful flowers,green grass and trees. The sun gently glistened through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.
The doctor had said my father would recover in two months. But after two months he still couldnt walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.
“Dad,how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan,dont worry about me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth,I just like walking with your Mom. I like this kind of life.” Reading his eyes,I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers,gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience,I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside,making life strong and warm.
爱只是一根线
有时候,我真的怀疑父母之间是否有真爱。他们天天忙于赚钱,为我和弟弟支付学费。他们从未像我在书中读到或在电视中看到的那样互诉衷肠。他们认为“我爱你”太奢侈,很难说出口,更不用说在情人节送花这样的事了。我父亲的脾气非常坏,经过一天的劳累之后,他经常会发脾气。
一天,母亲正在缝被子,我静静地坐在她旁边看着她。
过了一会,我说:“妈妈,我想问你一个问题。”
“什么问题?”她一边继续缝着,一边回答道。
我低声地问道:“你和爸爸之间有没有爱情啊?”
母亲突然停下了手中的活,满眼诧异地抬起头。她没有立即作答。然后低下头,继续缝被子。
我担心伤害了她。我非常尴尬,不知道该怎么办。不过,后来我听见母亲说:“苏珊,看看这些线。有时候,你能看得见,但是大多数都隐藏在被子里。这些线使被子坚固耐用。如果生活就像一床被子,那么爱就是其中的线。你不可能随时随地看到它,但是它却实实在在地存在着。爱是内在的。”
我仔细地听着,却无法明白她的话,直到来年的春天。那时候,我父亲得了重病。母亲在医院里待了一个月。当他们从医院回来的时候,都显得非常苍白。就像他们都得了一场重病一样。
他们回来之后,每天的清晨或黄昏,母亲都会搀扶着父亲在乡村的小路上漫步。父亲从未如此温和过。他们就像是天作之合。在小路旁边,有许多美丽的野花、绿草和树木。阳光穿过树叶的缝隙,温柔地照射在地面上。这一切形成了一幅世间最美好的画面。
医生说父亲将在两个月后康复。但是两个月之后,他仍然无法独立行走。我们都很为他担心。
有一天,我问他:“爸爸,你感觉怎么样?”
他温和地说:“苏珊,不用为我担心。跟你说吧,我喜欢与你妈妈一块散步的感觉。我喜欢这种生活。”从他的眼神里,我看得出他对母亲的爱之深刻。
我曾经认为爱情就是鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的亲吻。但是从那一刻起,我明白了,爱情就像是生活中被子里的一根线。爱情就在里面,使生活变得坚固而温暖。
