The Power of the Dream
When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.
At every turn we come across its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.
Believe in your faith. Set the vision before your eyes. Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. It may take one season or more, but the result is the same. Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities. The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible. For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.
Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.
Find your treasure within and cherish2 it. Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.

翻譯：夢想的力量
別人看你的眼睛時,他應當體會到你內心的活力。懷揣夢想就像是擁有一座引領你前行的燈塔。
每個轉折關頭,它給我們帶來奇跡。每個新的起點,我們脫胎換骨,煥然一新。孤獨中我們挺過失望的陰霾,發現我們的信念不曾動搖,我們的力量依然強大。
秉持信念,期盼未來。許下你最真誠的夢想,一旦機會來臨,就為之拼搏。也許要花一季甚或更多的時間,但結局不會改變。立大志,傾全力,成現實。前途未卜,唯有一步一個腳印,夢想者的至高希冀才會實現。我們必須珍存夢想,給它一季的保護,讓它在內心悄然生發。然而我們還得溫柔呵護我們內心至深的期許,慢慢地夢想必將成就新的生命。
夢想是實現信仰的第一步。你的期待熠熠光輝,它會驅逐不信的陰影。上帝賦予我們夢想的天資,去點亮不曾確信的世界。讓夢想的財富寄於心中,珍愛它,明天正等著你跨出第一步。

勵志小短文三：A Better Tomorrow
People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.
Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events ring wars?
We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.
From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.
The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.
In short, history helps us learn. Yesterday』s records can keep us from repeating yesterday』s mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.

翻譯：一個更好的明天
英語勵志短文人們常常心存疑慮,為什麼歷史學家要費盡周折地保存數以萬計的書籍、文獻和記錄。
我們為什麼要有圖書館呢？這些文獻和史書有何用處呢? 我們為什麼要記載並保存人類的行為、政府官員的談判和戰爭中的事件呢？
我們這么做的原因在於有時候經驗之音能促使我們停步、觀察和傾聽。也因為有時候過去的記載經過正確地詮釋,能幫助我們決定何事可為、何事不可為。如果我們想要創造永久的和平,我們就必須從人類的經驗以及人類歷史的記載中去探索其淵源。
從體現男性和女性勇敢和奉獻精神的故事之中,我們獲得了青春的啟示。英語短文歷史記載著人類的一切苦難、克己、忠誠和英勇的事跡。這些記載在我們困惑和渴望和平時能對我們有所幫助。
歷史的主要目的是創造一個更加美好的世界。歷史對那些力主戰爭的人給以警告,給予那些尋求和平的人以啟示。
簡而言之,歷史幫助我們學習。昨日的記載可以使我們避免重蹈覆轍。這些歷史學家們創作的像馬賽克一樣色彩繽紛的歷史片斷匯聚成了代表人類進步的偉大壁畫。

2. 震撼世界的演講《夢想》英語演講稿

I don』 know what that dream is that you have, I don』t care how disappointing it might have been as you』ve been working toward that dream, but that dream that you』re holding in your mind, that it』s possible!
Some of you already know, that it』s hard, it』s not easy, it』s hard changing your life. That in the process of working on your dreams you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain. There are moments that you are going to doubt yourself. You said, God why is this happening to me? I』m just trying to take care of my family, trying to give them a good life, I』m not trying to steal or rob from anybody. Why does this have to happen to me. For those of you that have experienced some hardships – don』t give up on your dream.
The rough times are gonna come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass. Greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive, God like feature that only the special among can achieve. It』s something that truly exists, in all of us. It』s very important for you to believe that you are the one!
Most people they raise a family, they earn a living and then they die. They stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, the stop pushing themselves. Then a lot of people like to complain but they don』t wanna do anything about their situation. And most people don』t work on their dreams – why?
1. Is because of fear, fear of failure 「what if things don』t work out「?
2. Is fair of success 「what if they do and I can』t handle it?」
These are not risk takers
You have spent so much time with other people, you have spent so much time trying to get people to like you, you know other people more than you know yourself. You』ve studied them, you know about them, you want to hang out with them, you want to be just like them. You』ve invested so much time on them, you don』t know who you are. I challenge you to spend time by yourself.
It』s necessary, that you get the losers out of your life, if you want to live your dream. But people who are running towards their dreams, life has a special kind of meaning. When you become the 『right-person』, what you do is you start separating yourself from other people you begin to have a certain uniqueness, as long as you follow other people, as long as you are being a 『-cat』, you will never ever be the best -cat in the world but you will be the best you can be!
I challenge you to define your value.
Everybody won』t see it, everybody won』t join you, everybody won』t have the vision…it』s necessary to know that you are an uncommon breed. It』s necessary that you align yourself with people and attract people into your business, who are hungry, people who are unstoppable and unreasonable, people who are refusing to live life just as it is and who want more!
The people that are living their dreams are parting with winners, to attach themselves to the and the people who are living their dreams are the people that know that if it』s going to happen it』s up to them!
If you want to be more successful, if you want to have and do stuff you never done before then I』m asking you to invest in you!
Someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality.
You don』t have to go through life being a victim. And even though you face disappointments, you have to know within yourself that 『I can do this, even if no one else sees it for me, I must see it for myself!』
No matter how bad it is, how hard it gets, say to yourself, I』m going to make it!
I wanna represent an idea. I wanna represent possibilities. Some of you right now, you wanna go to the next level. You wanna be a civil engineer, you wanna council, you wanna be a doctor.
Listen to me: You can』t get to that level. You can』t get to that level until you start to invest in your mind
I dare you to invest in your mind.
I dare you to invest time.
I dare you to be alone.
I dare you to spend an HOUR alone to get to know yourself.
I challenge you to get to a place where people do not like or do not even bother you anymore. Why? Because you』re not concerned with making them happy anyway. Because you』re trying to blow up. You』re trying to get to the next level. Because you』re investing in your mind.
If you』re still talking about your dream and your goals but you have not done anything just TAKE THE FIRST STEP.
You can make your parents proud, you can make your school proud you can touch millions of peoples lives and the world will never be the same again because you came this way. Don』t let anybody steal your dream!
After we face a rejection and a 「no」 or we have a meeting and no one shows up, or somebody says 「you can count on me」 and they don』t come through, what if we have that kind of attitude that cause reposes, nobody believes in you, you』ve lost again, and again, the lights are cut off but you are still looking at your dream, reviewing it everyday and saying to yourself: IT』S NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN!
You can live your dream!
是這個嗎？

Predicting Our Future
China, our great motherland, is developing very fast. More and more techniques are being used into our daily life. Well, let's imagine what our future will be like in 50 years.
First, there will be more trees but less pollution. It's very important for us to protect our living environment. However, some people are destorying it only because they want to fullfill their selfifh purpose-to get more and more money. We are being told that it's wrong to bulid our happiness on the sufferings of our descendants. So, I think we should do something to change the present situation. And now our goverment is trying to solve this problem, and some relevent policies will come into force very soon.We could expect a bright future for our environment.
Second, much more advanced technologies will be used, which will provide us much more convinence. After 50 years, we will have our own robots help us with the housework, and the life will become easier and more comfortable. When you are free, you could fly to the moon for vacation or fly rockets to the moon. Everything is possible.
Last but not the least, I'd like to say that we could predict the future, and I believe with our continuous efforts, all of our dreams will come true one day. Do you agree with me?
Let's take action now!

預見我們的未來

中國，我們偉大的祖國，正在快速地發展。越來越多的技術被應用於我們的日常生活。那麼，讓我們來想像一下50年以後的未來是什麼樣子的。
首先，這里會有更多的樹木卻更少污染。保護我們的生存環境很重要，但是，一些人為了實現一己私利，賺更多的錢而不斷的破壞環境。我們不斷地被告知，把我們的幸福建立在子孫後代的痛苦之上是錯誤的，所以我認為我們應該做些什麼來改變現狀。現在我們的政府正在試圖解決這個問題，不久一些相關政策也將出台。我們可以期待我們的環境會有一個光明的未來。
第二，更多的先進技術將被應用，而這些經給我們提供很大方便。50年以後，我們會有自己的機器人來幫助我們做家務，生活將變得更簡單更舒適。當你有空的時候，你可以去香港度假，或者飛去月球。什麼事都是有可能的。
最後，我想說，我們可以預見未來，並且我相信通過我們不斷的努力，終有一天我們所有的夢想都會實現。你同意我的看法嗎？
讓我們開始行動吧！

關於北京奧運會這篇，不會難的，下面有其中文大意：）~

"The Games of the 29th Olympiad in 2008 are awarded to the city of Beijing."With the motto "New Beijing, Great Olympics", Beijing promises to host a "Green Olympics", a "Hi-tech Olympics" and the "People's Olympics".

Chinese people always appreciate the purposes and principles of Olympic ideal, support the efforts of Olympic Games to promote world peace. The Chinese Government and people are doing our the utmost/best to prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, and shooting at the pageant with advocating Olympic ideal, sparkpluging world peace and enhancing the relationships among the world. Olympic spirit are gonna spread again in orient cultural ancient China.

The government and people of China have always admired the purposes and principles of the Olympic spirit and supported the efforts made by the Olympics in promoting world peace. The Chinese government and people are doing our utmost in preparation for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. It is our hope to make it a grand gathering that will carry forward the Olympic spirit, promote world peace and enhance the friendship among people of the world, so that the Olympic spirit will flourish once again, this time in China, an oriental country with an ancient civilization.

中國人民一向贊賞奧林匹克精神的宗旨和原則，支持奧林匹克運動為促進世界和平所做的努力。中國政府和中國人民正全力以赴，做好2008年北京奧運會的籌備工作，力爭把2008年奧運會辦成一次弘揚奧林匹克精神、促進世界和平、增進各國人民友誼的盛會，讓奧林匹克精神在中國這一東方文明古國 再次得到發揚。

參考三：
A Young Idler,An Old Beggar
Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.

It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，ring which one's mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.

Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we don't make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

少壯不努力,老大徒傷悲
幾乎所有人都知道中國有一句老話:少壯不努力,老大徒傷悲.通過閱讀歷史,我們從一個又一個的案例當中得知,這句話被證實是真確的.
不用說都知道,在青年時期,人的智力和身體狀況都是一生中最好的,這也是一個人一生中最好的時期.在這個處處都不停地轉變,飛快地發展的世界裡,年輕使人相對地用更少的時間去學習和領悟新知.在這時,很少人會困在從事業上來的壓力下,家庭和健康問題也比較小(就是說不是沒有--譯者).所以,一個清醒的腦袋加上巨大的能量就會成就人生中不同方面的成功.
當然,我們都知道:沒有挫折就沒有獲得.如果我們沒有好好努力去利用年輕帶給我們的優勝之處,那就沒有可能獲得任何的成功.作為中學生,我們應該做到最好去學好每一個科目,這樣的話,我們就可以為將來即將面對的挑戰做好准備.

I don't think that to be a class leader will affect your study. To be chosen as a class leader would mean that you have the ability to lead the class. To be chosen as a class leader also gives you more opportunity to learn something. If you are a class leader, what you should learn is how to lead the class, how to create a good studying atmosphere. A good class leader also helps others to solve problems. He or she often solves whatever problems other classmates may meet with, by which he or she also learns something, just as a saying goes, "Teaching others teaches yourself." So I agree to be a class leader. Actually, I hope to be a class leader myself.
我認為做班長不會影響你的學習。當上班長意味著你有能力去管好一個班，還給你更多的學習機會。如果你當上班長之後，你要學習的是如何管好班級，如何製造學習氣氛。一個好班長還會幫助別人解決問題。他或者她經常解決任何其他同學碰到的問題，通過這種方式，他或者她也會學到一些東西，就像諺語中說的一樣：「教學相長。」所以我同意當班長。實際上，我自己都想當班長呢！

5. 英語演講稿

學好英文的方法有許多，總結下來無外以下幾種方法：
There are many ways to learn English, summing up down outside the following methods:

1． 堅持不懈，從不間斷。每天至少看 10-15 分鍾的英語，早晨和晚上是學英語的最好時間。

(Never give up, keep working on. Speak English at least 10-15 minutes every day. The best time to learn English is in the morning and the evening.)

2．方法要靈活多樣。一種方式學厭了，可以變換其他的方式，以便學而不厭。

(Different kinds of ways to learn English. One way is boring, you can use other ways, so that you won't feel bored.)

3．上下相連，從不孤立。記憶英語要結合上下文，不要孤立的記單詞和短語，要把握句中的用法。

(Connect up to down, don't make it alone. According to the passage, remember the words and phrases, try to graspe the meanings of the words. )

4．熟記常用語，確保准確無誤。把常用的交際用語背熟，俗能生巧。

(Remember useful expressions, and make sure it's right. Practice makes perfect.)

5．盡量用第一人稱來記習慣用語和句型，以便記憶牢固。

(Try to Remember idioms and setences with the first calling, make sure to remember deeply.)

6．多方位多角度來學英語。要經常讀報、聽廣播、看外語電影、聽外語講座、讀課本和別人交談等方式來學英語。

(Learn English in different ways. Read newspapers, listen to the radio , watch English movies, listen to English lectures, read textbooks and talk with each other ect.)

(Speak English as much as possible, don't be afraid of making mistakes. Everyone can make mistakes, it is possible. Try your best to learn it well.)

8．要創設情景，加強交際訓練。語言的運用離不開場景的強化訓練，只有交際，才能學好。

(Set up situation, strength comunacation practice. Language can't leave away from the situation, you'd better do more practising and you can learn it well.)

運用好上述方法，相信你的英文一定能學得很好。

關於「零用錢哪裡來，怎麼用的。下面這篇不是很難,長短還可以,可以參考:)~
With the development of our modern society, people's living conditions become much more comfortable. But along with intense competition, parents have less time to consider children's needs in all-round. One method to solve this ontradiction is to give children some pocket money. Pocket money is useful to children. But whether the children are considerable enough to make correct use of these money. There are two viewpoints about the pocket money. Some people think that giving children pocket money will make them become luxurious. Others think that will not lead to such disadvantage. In my opinion, both of them are partially reasonable.

Someone believe that giving children pocket money really has many advantages. With pocket money, children can buy their daily necessities such as pencils, little toys, and snack food they like. It will give children a certain freedom to select what they want, make them aware rules of the equivalent exchange. Since time to parents is very precious, giving pocket money to children help them to save time spent in shopping, but used in busy working and earning money.

I think that parents should give their children a limited amount of pocket money. There are some preconditions: the amount of pocket money must be finite; the parents should instruct their children how to use the money moderately and what is suitable to them; for a costly merchandise, parents themselves should take children to buy it. With these preconditions, pocket money will do no harm to their children.

Dusk

by David J. Ebner

Looking into the sunset I can』t help but notice that despite her beauty,
a sense of struggle and hopelessness surround the sky.
Deep inside you realize that this day is gone
and everything that it had brought is lost forever.
Every thought, every action, every dream, every hope,
every sight, every sound is gone.
There is no chance of every being returned the same,
exactly the same.
For every moment has a limit to what it can capture,
Even memory has a limit to what it can retrieve.

And the colours in the sky try to entertain us.
One last act with painted smiles,
for they too know that nothing can be done to save the day.
So futile their attempt to comfort our fear of the night,
our horror as we try to find our way,
like children who wander into a forest and never return.

I am ingratiated by the sunset because of her sensitivity
as she tries to push the darkness back for just a moment more.
But like so many times before... To no avail!

黃昏

文：戴維•J•埃布納

凝望夕陽，我無法抑止地看到，
無論她是如何的美麗動人，
掙扎和絕望依然縈繞天幕。
內心深處，你明白今日已逝，
它所帶來的一切也永遠消失了。
每一脈思想，每一次行動，每一個夢想，每一線希望，
每一幅景象，每一縷聲音，都消逝而去。
一切都不可能還復如初，
和原來一模一樣。
只因每一個時刻所能捕捉的東西是有限的。
甚至每一段記憶所能緬懷的一切也是有限的。

而天空中的綺麗色彩努力讓我們快樂起來。
最後上演的是五彩繽紛的微笑，
因為它們也知曉，做什麼都無法留住時日。
它們想安慰我們對夜的恐懼，卻又如此徒勞無益，
雖然恐懼，我們依然尋找出路，
宛若在林中的孩子，彷徨不知歸路。

我滿心歡喜，只因夕陽的敏感，
她竭力將黑暗推回，僅僅為了再多駐留一刻。
可卻猶如以往，一切都無濟於事！

2.
The sun is just rising in the morning of another day. What can I wish that this day may bring me? Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer, nothing at the expense of other men; but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather, as they pass and gather strength.

I wish that this day could bring me a few friends, who understand me, and yet remain my friends; I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has real value.

I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed, and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart.

I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills, and the blue sea stretching to the horizon, and of something beautiful which the hands of men have made.

I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor, and the power to laugh, a little leisure with nothing to do.

And I crave for a few moments of quiet, silent meditation in the morning of this day.

I also wish that this day could bring me the patience to wait for the coming of these things, with the wisdom to know them when they come, and the wit not to change this morning wish of mine.

朝陽又在新的一天中冉冉升起。我期許這一天帶給我什麼呢？我希望帶給我的不是令世界或他人更貧窮的東西，不是損害他人的東西，而是那些微笑的，能觸動我的東西，他們經過時，或者不斷聚集力量時不會妨礙我。

我希望這一天能帶給我一些惺惺相惜，希望我們友誼長存；我也希望這一天能帶給我一份真正有價值的工作。

我希望這一天能帶給我無畏遠行的胸懷，即使旅途沒有光亮的照耀；我還希望這一天能帶給我善解人意的心。

我希望這一天能讓我看到永恆的山岡，看到遼闊無邊的藍色海洋，看到人類雙手造就美麗的事物。

我希望這一天能夠帶給我幽默感，笑的力量和無事可做的片刻的悠閑。

這一天早上，我渴望片刻安靜的沉思靜想

『心靈雞湯——永恆的愛（1）』

Love Can Last Forever

永恆的愛

I can honestly say it was the best of times and the worst of times. I was joyfully expecting my first child at the same time that my once-energetic, zestful mother was losing her battle with a brain tumor.

我真的只能說那是最精彩的一刻同時又是最傷感的一刻.在我滿心歡喜的期待著我的第一個孩子出世的同時我那曾經充滿活力和熱情的母親被腦瘤這個惡疾擊倒.

For ten years, my fiercely independent and courageous mother had fought, but none of the surgeries or treatments had been successful. Still, she never lost her ability to smile. But now, finally, at only fifty-five, she became totally disabled -- unable to speak, walk, eat or dress on her own.

母親非常獨立勇敢的和病魔斗爭了10年,但是任何手術和治療都沒能奏效.盡管如此,她始終可以微笑.但是現在,僅僅才55歲的她終於全部癱瘓---不能說話,不能獨立行走,吃飯,穿衣.

As she grew closer and closer to death, my baby grew closer and closer to life inside me. My biggest fear was that their lives would never connect. I grieved not only for the upcoming loss of my mother, but also that she and my baby would never know each other.

她離死神越來越近的同時,我腹內的嬰兒離出生越來越近.最讓我擔心的是她們的生命永不會相遇.我不單單是只為了即將失去母親而傷心,同時也為她和我的孩子不能相見而難過.

My fear seemed well-founded. A few weeks before my e date, Mother lapsed into a deep coma. Her doctors did not hold any hope; they told us her time was up. It was useless to put in a feeding tube, they said; she would never awaken.

我的擔心不是多餘的.在我預產期的幾個星期前,母親陷入了深度昏迷.醫生們已不抱任何希望,告訴我們說她的大限已到.他們說插入進食管已經沒有用,她再也不會醒過來了.

We brought Mother home to her own bed in her own house, and we insisted on care to keep her comfortable. As often as I could, I sat beside her and talked to her about the baby moving inside me. I hoped that somehow deep inside, she knew.

我們把母親接回了家把她安置在她房間自己的床上,同時我們堅持照料她讓她舒適一些.我盡可能多地坐在她的床前告訴她我腹中蠕動的嬰兒的情況.我希望無論如何在意識深處她能明白我講的一切.

On February 3, 1989, at about the same time my labor started, Mother opened her eyes. When they told me this at the hospital, I called her home and asked for the phone to be put to Mom's ear.

1989年2月3日,幾乎是在我分娩的同時,母親睜開了眼睛.當他們在醫院里告訴我這個消息時,我把電話打回了家並要求將電話放在母親的耳邊.

"Mom -- Mom -- listen. The baby is coming! You're going to have a new grandchild. Do you understand?"

"媽媽--媽媽--聽我告訴你.孩子快要出世了.你就要有一個新的外孫了.你明白了嗎?"

"Yes!"

"明白!"

What a wonderful word! The first clear word she'd spoken in months!

多幺讓人吃驚的一句話呀!這是她幾個月來第一次清楚的講話.

『心靈雞湯——永恆的愛（2）』

When I called again an hour later, the nurse at her house told me the impossible: Mom was sitting up, her oxygen tubes removed. She was smiling.

我在一個小時後再次打電話給她的時候,她房裡的護士告訴了我一件不可思議的事情:媽媽坐起來了,她的氧氣管已經拿掉.她在微笑.

"Mom, it's a boy! You have a new grandson!"

"媽媽,是個男孩兒!你有一個新孫子了!"

"Yes! Yes! I know!"

"是!是!我知道了!"

Four words. Four beautiful words.

四句話.美麗的四句話.

By the time I brought Jacob home, Mom was sitting in her chair, dressed and ready to welcome him. Tears of joy blocked my vision as I laid my son in her arms and she clucked at him. They stared at each other.

到我帶著雅克布回家的時候,媽媽收拾一新,坐在椅子上准備迎接他的到來.我把兒子放到媽媽懷里她逗弄著他.他們互相對視著.

They knew.

他們好象早已相識.

For two more weeks, Mother clucked, smiled and held Jacob. For two weeks she spoke to my father, her children and grandchildren in complete sentences. For two miracle weeks, she gave us joy.

有兩個多星期,媽媽微笑,抱著雅克布,逗弄他.在這兩個星期里她用完整的句子和我父親,她的兒孫們講話.在這奇跡般的兩個星期里,她帶給了我們歡樂.

Then she quietly slipped back into a coma and, after visits from all her children, was finally free of the pain and confines of a body that no longer did her will.

接下來在所有的孩子們看望過她以後,她便又安靜地,逐漸地陷入昏迷,直到最後從疼痛中解脫出來,她的肉體不再聽命於她的靈魂...

Memories of my son's birth will always be bittersweet for me, but it was at this time that I learned an important truth about living. For while both joy and sorrow are fleeting, and often intertwined, love has the power to overcome both. And love can last forever.

兒子出生的記憶將總是喜憂參半的,但正是在這個時候我認識到了生活中的一個重要的真理.那就是快樂和悲傷都是短暫的,並且常常是糾纏在一起的,愛則有力量超越這兩者.且愛可以永恆!

End
