摘要：下一次當(dāng)我們聽到同伴當(dāng)中的一員遇到問(wèn)題時(shí)，不要想這不關(guān)自己的事，不會(huì)影響自己。記住，如果我們中任何一個(gè)人遇到麻煩，我們都將處于危險(xiǎn)之中。

　　A little mouse living on a farm was looking through a crack in the wall one day and saw thefarmer and his wife opening a package.

　　The mouse was intrigued by what food the package may contain. He was aghast to discoverthat it was a mousetrap. The mouse ran to the farmyard warning everyone： “There is amousetrap in the house， there is a mousetrap in the house.”

　　一天，一只住在農(nóng)場(chǎng)的小老鼠透過(guò)墻上的洞看到農(nóng)場(chǎng)主和他的妻子打開了一個(gè)包裹。

我們的問(wèn)題

　　小老鼠很好奇里面裝的是什么好吃的食物。但是令它震驚的是，里面居然是一個(gè)老鼠夾。于是它跑到農(nóng)場(chǎng)的院子里向每一個(gè)動(dòng)物警告說(shuō)：“屋里有一個(gè)老鼠夾!屋里有一個(gè)老鼠夾!”

　　The chick raised his head and said， “Mr. Mouse， I can tell you this trap is a grave concern toyou， but it has no consequence to me and I cannot be bothered with it.”

　　一只小雞抬起頭說(shuō)：“老鼠先生，我敢說(shuō)老鼠夾是專為你設(shè)置的，不會(huì)給我?guī)?lái)任何后果，我用不著擔(dān)心。”

　　The mouse turned to the pig， “I am so sorry Mr. Mouse， but the trap is no concern of mineeither!” the pig said.

　　老鼠轉(zhuǎn)向豬。“我也很抱歉，老鼠先生，老鼠夾和我也沒(méi)有任何關(guān)系。”小豬說(shuō)道。

　　The mouse then turned to the bull， “It sounds like you have a problem， Mr. Mouse， but notone that concerns me.” the bull said.

　　老鼠又去跟牛講。老牛對(duì)它說(shuō)：“聽起來(lái)你好像遇到了麻煩，老鼠先生，但是這也不關(guān)我的事。”

　　The mouse returned to the house， head down and dejected that no one would help him or hasconcerned about his dilemma.

　　老鼠耷拉著腦袋回到屋子里，他感到很沮喪，因?yàn)闆](méi)有誰(shuí)愿意幫助它，沒(méi)有誰(shuí)為它的困境擔(dān)心。

　　He knew he had to face the trap on his own. That night the sound of a trap catching its preywas heard throughout the house. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In thedarkness she could not see that it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

　　它只有獨(dú)自面對(duì)這個(gè)老鼠夾了。那天晚上大家都聽到了夾子夾住東西的聲音。農(nóng)夫的妻子急忙跑過(guò)去看是什么被抓住了。黑暗中她看不清，其實(shí)是一條毒蛇的尾巴被夾住了。

　　The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The wife caught a bad fever and the farmer knew the best wayto treat a fever was with chicken soup. The farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard to get thesoup’s main ingredient.

　　農(nóng)夫的妻子被毒蛇咬了一口，發(fā)起了高熱。農(nóng)夫知道最好的退熱辦法是喝雞湯，于是他拿著菜刀走進(jìn)院子去取做湯的原料。

　　The wife got sicker and friends and neighbors came by to take turns sitting with her round theclock. The farmer knew he had to feed them， so he butchered the pig.

　　農(nóng)夫的妻子病得更重了，朋友和鄰居們輪流來(lái)看她。農(nóng)夫必須招待他們，所以就把豬殺了。

　　The farmer’s wife did not get better， in fact she died and so many friends and family came toher funeral that the farmer had to slaughter the bull to feed all of them.

　　農(nóng)夫的妻子還是沒(méi)有好轉(zhuǎn)，最后還是死了，很多朋友和家人來(lái)參加她的葬禮，農(nóng)夫只有殺牛來(lái)招待他們。

　　So the next time we hear that one of our teammates is facing a problem and think it does notconcern or effect us， let us remember that when any one of us is in trouble， we are all at risk.

　　所以，下一次當(dāng)我們聽到同伴當(dāng)中的一員遇到問(wèn)題時(shí)，不要想這不關(guān)自己的事，不會(huì)影響自己。記住，如果我們中任何一個(gè)人遇到麻煩，我們都將處于危險(xiǎn)之中。

　　Life is a celebration. Be happy and make others happy.

　　生活就是聯(lián)歡，高興一點(diǎn)，讓其他人也高興起來(lái)!

　　愛(ài)與時(shí)間

　　Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness,Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelingsthat the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

　　從前有一個(gè)島，所有的情感都住在那里：幸福、悲傷、知識(shí)和所有其它的，愛(ài)也不例外。一天，所有的情感聽說(shuō)小島即將沉沒(méi)，因此建造小船，紛紛離開，除了愛(ài)。

　　Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

　　愛(ài)是唯一留下來(lái)的，因?yàn)樗Ｍ軋?jiān)持到最后一刻。

　　When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

　　小島即將沉沒(méi)了，愛(ài)決定請(qǐng)求幫助。

　　Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,

　　富有駕著一艘大船從愛(ài)身邊經(jīng)過(guò)，愛(ài)說(shuō)，

　　"Richness, can you take me with you?"

　　“富有，你能帶上我么?”

　　Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no placehere for you."

　　富有回答說(shuō)：“不行，我的船上載滿金銀財(cái)寶，沒(méi)有你的地方。”

　　Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please helpme!"

　　虛榮坐在漂亮的小船中從愛(ài)身邊駛過(guò)，愛(ài)問(wèn)：“虛榮，你能幫助我么?”

　　"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

　　虛榮說(shuō)：“不行，你全身濕透，會(huì)弄臟我的船。”

　　Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."

　　悲傷的船靠近了，愛(ài)問(wèn)：“悲傷，請(qǐng)帶我走吧。”

　　"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

　　“哦... 愛(ài)，我太難過(guò)了，想一個(gè)人呆著。”

　　Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Lovecalled her.

　　幸福經(jīng)過(guò)愛(ài)的身邊，它太開心了，根本沒(méi)聽見愛(ài)在呼喚。

　　Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed andoverjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dryland, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,

　　突然，一個(gè)聲音喊道：“來(lái)，愛(ài)，我?guī)阕摺?rdquo; 聲音來(lái)自“年老”。愛(ài)太高興了，甚至忘了問(wèn)他們即將去何方。當(dāng)他們來(lái)到岸上，年老自己離開了。愛(ài)突然意識(shí)到“年老”給了它多大的幫助。

　　Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"

　　于是，愛(ài)問(wèn)另一位老者--知識(shí)：“誰(shuí)幫助了我?”

　　"It was Time," Knowledge answered.

　　知識(shí)說(shuō)：“是時(shí)間。”

　　"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"

　　“時(shí)間?”愛(ài)問(wèn)：“但是時(shí)間為什么幫助我?”

　　Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable ofunderstanding how valuable Love is."

　　知識(shí)睿智地微笑道：“因?yàn)橹挥袝r(shí)間了解愛(ài)的價(jià)值。”
