Pencil and Eraser
铅笔与橡皮
Pencil： You know，I’m reallysorry.
Eraser： For what？ You didn’tdo anything wrong.
Pencil： I’m sorry，because youget hurt because of me. WheneverI make a mistake，you are alwaysthere to erase it. But as you makemy mistakes vanish，you lose a partof yourself. You get smaller andsmaller.
Eraser： That’s true，but I don’treally mind. You see，I was made to do this.
I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though，one of these days，I know I’ll be gone and you have to replace me with a new one，I’m actually happy with myjob. So please，stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.
铅笔：我想说，我真的很抱歉。
橡皮：为什么，你没有做错事情啊？
铅笔：对不起，每次都是因为我而连累你受到伤害。我犯错的时候，你总是会帮我纠正，但在帮助我改正错误的同时，你消耗的却是自己的身体。你变得越来越小了。
橡皮：没错，但是真的没关系。要知道，我生来就是为了帮助你，纠正你的错误，即使有一天我会因此消失，而你也会找到新的朋友来帮助你。我其实很开心能履行我的使命。所以，不要伤心了，我不想看到你难过的样子。

The woodcutter asked his wife toopen the door and let the strandedstranger in.
She said，“But there is no space.”
The man laughed and said，“This is nota palace of a king，where you will alwaysfind a shortage of space. This is a poor man’s hut. Two can sleep well； three can sit. We willcreate space. Just open the door.”
And the door was opened. The man came in gratefully，and they all sat telling stories toeach other. Then came another knock. The owner of the hut told the stranger，“Friend，openthe door. Somebody else is lost.” And the man said，“But there is no space.”
The woodcutter said，“If three persons can sit comfortably，four persons can sit a littlecloser，with a little less comfort. But we will create the space.”
020 不畏将来，不念过往The stranger reluctantly opened thedoor. And a man entered gratefully. And thensuddenly came a strange knock，which didnot seem to be a man’s！ The woodcutter said，“Open the door. I know who is knocking. Itis my donkey. In this wide world he is myonly friend.”
Everyone protested，“Where is thedonkey going to stand？”
The man said，“A poor man’s hut isalways spacious. Right now we are sitting；when the donkey comes in we will all stand.”

一个贫穷的樵夫和他的妻子住在林中的一间小屋里。屋子空间很小，只够他们两人舒展而眠。
在一个漆黑的暴风雨之夜，门外有人敲门。樵夫让妻子去开门将陌生人迎进屋。
妻子说：“但是屋里已经没有空间啦。”男人笑了笑说：“这里又不像皇帝的宫殿那样永远都会空间不足，这儿是一个穷人的小窝。两个人可以躺着，三个人可以坐着。我们总能腾出空间的，只管开门就行。”
门打开了，陌生人满怀感激地走进来。他们坐在一起互相讲故事。接着，又传来一阵敲门声。屋子的主人对陌生人说：“朋友，请把门打开吧，又有一个人迷路了。”而那个人说：“可是已经没有空间了啊。”
樵夫说：“如果三个人可以宽松舒适地坐着，那么四个人可以坐得更近一点。尽管没有之前自在，但我们可以腾出点空间。”
陌生人不情愿地打开了门。一个男人走进来。之后突然传来一阵奇怪的敲门声，听起来似乎不是人在敲门！樵夫说：“快开门。我知道是谁在敲门，那是我的驴子，它是我在这偌大的世界中唯一的朋友。”
每个人都反对，他们说：“驴子进来哪里有地方站？”
樵夫说：“我这穷人的小屋从不缺少空间。现在我们可以坐着，驴子进来了我们可以站着。”

Principles are Lighthouses
正确的原则犹如灯塔
It was a dark and stormy night.
The officer on the bridge cameto the captain and said，“Captain，Captain，there is a light in our sealane and they won’t move.”
“What do you mean they won’tmove？ Tell them to move. Tell themstarboard right now.”
T h e s i g n a l w a s s e n t o u t ，“Starboard，starboard，” The signalcomes back，“Starboard yourself.”
“I can’t believe this. What’s goingon here？ Let them know who I am.” Thesignal sent out，“this is the mighty Missouri ，starboard.” The signal comes back，“This is thelighthouse.”
My friends，correct principles are lighthouses，they do not move. They are nature laws.
We can’t break them. We can only break ourselves against them. We might as well learnthem，accommodate them，utilize them and be grateful for them. Then it enlarges us andemancipates us and empowers us.
T.S. Eliot once said something I think is appropriate as we come to the conclusion of022 不畏将来，不念过往our visit together. He said，“We shall notcease from exploration and the end of all ourexploring will be to arrive where we startedand know the place for the first time.”
那是个漆黑的、狂风暴雨的夜晚，大副从驾驶室出来走向船长说：“船长，船长，我们的海道上有灯光，而且他们不愿移开。”
“他们不愿移开是什么意思？叫他们移开。告诉他们立即向右转舵。”
信号发了出去：“向右转舵，向右转舵。”
发回来的信号说：“你自己向右转舵。”
“我就不信。这是怎么了？让他们知道我是谁。”信号发出去：“这里是密苏里巨轮，请向右转舵。”信号发了回来：
“这里是灯塔。”
朋友们，正确的原则犹如灯塔，他们不会移动。它们是自然法则，我们打破不了。我们要么让自己与它们相悖，要么去学习它们、调整它们、利用它们，并感激它们。然后我们自己得以发展，得以解放，得到使用这些原则的能力。
T.S.爱略特曾说过一句话，我认为很适合用来做此行的结束语。他说：“我们不应停止探索，直到探索之旅的尽头，我们将到达起点，并重新认识这个地方。”
