Dad's Kiss(原题 A goodbye kiss)
The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and jostled the table,spilling his coffee over his notes. "How embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy in my old age." Everyone had a good laugh,and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said,"Come on,Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment."
Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. "I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman,and he loved the sea. He had his own boat,but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family,but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home." He looked at us and said,"I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man,and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him,he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas,foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my Mother washed them,they would still smell of the sea and of fish."
Frank's voice dropped a bit. "When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school,I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time,he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front,and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here,I was twelve years old,and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!"
He paused and then went on,"I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop,he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me,but I put my hand up and said,'No,Dad.'
It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way,and he had this surprised look on his face. I said,'Dad,I'm too old for a goodbye kiss. I'm too old for any kind of kiss.' My Dad looked at me for the longest time,and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out the windshield. 'You're right,' he said. 'You are a big boy....a man. I won't kiss you anymore.'"
Frank got a funny look on his face,and the tears began to well up in his eyes,as he spoke. "It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet stayed in,but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a gale and was trying to save the nets and the floats."
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. "Guys,you don't know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek....to feel his rough old face....to smell the ocean on him....to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man,I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss."

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there,they serve some sort of purpose,to teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be - your roommate,neighbor,professor,long lost friend,lover or even a complete stranger who,when you lock eyes with them,you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
实在偶尔候，一些人一突入你的糊口你便晓得他们本就想这么做，此中有着必然的目标——或给你一个经验，或赞助你大白你是谁或你要成为谁。你永久也不晓得这些人会是谁，是你的舍友、邻人、传授、久违的伴侣、爱人，甚或是一个完整的目生人。当你与他们四目绝对，你便晓得他们会以某种深远的体例影响你的糊口。
And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible,painful and unfair,but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles,you would have never realized your potential,strength,will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness,injury,love,lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity - all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests,if they be events,illnesses or relationships,life would be like a smoothly paved,straight,flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
也偶尔，一些工作产生了，它们看上去是那末恐怖、疾苦和不公;但细想一下你就会大白，若是不去尽力降服这些困难，你将永久也不会晓得本身的潜能、气力、意志力和心里。任何工作的产生都是有缘由的，不一件事是偶尔产生的或是因了某种好运或恶运产生的。疾病、危险、爱、真实的巨大的磨灭和完整的'笨拙――统统这统统的产生都是对你的精力极限的磨练。不论这磨练是一些事务、疾病或是某种干系，不了它们，糊口都将只剩下阳光小道，牢固、温馨，但却枯燥、不意思，不会通往任何处所。
The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience - they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.
你碰到的那些影响你的糊口的人和你所履历的胜利或失利，城市让你看清本身。即便是不好的履历，也能让你从中获得经验。这些经验是最严酷的，但也能够或许是最主要的。
If someone hurts you,betrays you or breaks your heart,forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you,love them back unconditionally,not only because they love you,but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
即便有人危险了你、叛逆了你、或让你心碎，谅解他们吧，由于他们赞助你晓得了甚么是信赖，也让你大白了对那些你关闭心扉来往的人坚持谨严的主要性。若是有人爱你，那末也无前提地爱他们吧，不光由于他们爱你，也由于他们教会了你若何去爱，若何打欢快扉、伸开眼睛去感触感染那些不他们你便不能看到或感触感染到的人间的各种。
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can,for you may never be able to experience it again.
就让每天都过得成心思吧。享用生射中的每刻，尽你所能从中罗致，由于今后你能够或许不机遇再有一样履历。
Talk to people you have never talked to before,and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love,break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself,for if you don't believe in yourself,no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.
那些与你从没打过号召的人彼此扳谈凝听吧，让本身洗澡爱河吧，自在地打破藩篱，让你的眼界加倍高远吧。抬起你的头，由于你有权力如许做。信任本身，告知本身你很了不得，由于若是连你本身都不信任本身，别人又怎能信任你?你能够或许按本身的志愿糊口。去缔造出本身的糊口，而后走出来享用糊口吧。
"People are like tea bags - you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are."
人就像茶叶袋，只需放到热水中，你能力晓得他们有多强大。

我的人生寻求
Bertrand Russell罗素
Three passions,simple but overwhelmingly strong,have governed my life: the longing for love,the search for knowledge,and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions,in a wayward course,are over a deep ocean of anguish,reaching to the very verge of despair.
有三种简略可是很是激烈的豪情摆布了我的平生;对爱的巴望,对常识的摸索和对人类磨难的难以忍耐的同情。这些豪情像飓风,频频地吹拂过极重繁重的苦海,濒于绝境。
I have sought love,first,because it brings ecstasy-ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all my rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it,next because it relieves loneliness-that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the co1d unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it,finally,because in the union of love I have seen,in a mystic miniature,the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought,and though it might seem too good for human life,this is what-at last-I have found.
我寻找爱,起首是由于它使人心醉神迷。这类沉醉是如斯的美好,使我愿意就义统统的余生去调换几个小时如许的惊喜。 我寻找爱,还由于它消除孤傲(在恐怖的孤傲中,一颗哆嗦的魂灵从天下的边缘看到酷寒、无底、死寂的深渊。最初,我寻找爱,还由于在爱的融合中,奥秘而又详细入微地,我看到了圣贤和墨客们设想出的地狱的远景。 这便是我所寻找的,并且,固然对人生来讲仿佛过于美好,这也是我终究找到了的。
With equa1 passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A 1ittle of this,but not much,I have achieved.
以一样的豪情我摸索常识。我但愿能够或许懂得人类的心灵。我但愿能够或许晓得群星为甚么闪灼。我试图贯通毕达哥拉斯所钦慕的数字气力,它安排着此消彼长。仅在不大的必然水平上,我到达了此目标。
Love and knowledge,so far they were possible,led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine,victims tortured by oppressors,helpless old people a hated burden to their pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evi1,but I can't,and I too suffer.
爱和常识,只需有能够或许,通向着地狱。可是同情总把我带回红尘。疾苦呼叫招呼的'反响回荡在我的心里。忍饥挨饿的孩子,惨遭榨取者培植的受益者,被后代们视为可爱的承担的疾苦无助的白叟,使人类所应有的糊口成了笑柄。我巴望能够或许削减险恶,可是我能干为力,并且我本身也在忍耐熬煎。
This has been my life. I have found it worth living,and wou1d gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
这便是我的平生。我发明它值得一过。若是再给我一次机遇,我会很高欢快地再活它一次。

敬爱的亚利桑那：
My brother is so lucky. Good stuff is always happening to him. Do you believe in luck?And if so,how can I get more of it?
我的兄弟命运出格好，常有功德产生在他身上。你信任命运吗？若是真有命运，我如何能力获得更多一些呢？
—Looking for Luck in Louisiana
——身在路易斯安那寻找好运的人
Dear Looking,敬爱的命运寻找者：
I was eating breakfast with one hand,petting my cat,Cow,with the other,and reading the back of the cereal box,when—“YOUCH!” I screamed. “Why’d you pinch me?”
我那时正一手吃早饭，一手爱抚着我的猫“牛牛”，同时在看燕麦片盒子反面的信息。就在这时候——“哎呦”，我尖叫起来，“你干吗捏我？”
“You’re not wearing green,” said my little brother,Tex. “Everyone knows you get pinched if you don’t wear green on Saint Patrick’s Day!”
“由于你没穿绿色衣服，”我的小弟弟特克斯说，“大家都晓得若是在圣帕特里克节里不穿绿色衣服就会被捏！”
“It’s true,” said my little sister,Indi.
“这是真的！”我的小mm英蒂说。
I was mostly mad about getting pinched,but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patrick’s Day.
我对本身被掐感应很是朝气，但有一点儿值得欢快的是，这提示了我今天是圣帕特里克节。
I panicked. “What am I going to do?I don’t have time to change. I’ll get pinched all day long!”
我惶恐失措：“我该如何办？我没时辰更衣服了。一成天我城市被人捏的！”
“Well,” Tex said,taking the old green baseball cap off his head,“you could borrow my lucky hat.”
“好吧，”特克斯从他头上摘下那顶绿色的旧棒球帽，说，“你能够借我的荣幸帽。”
“But it’s your favorite!” I said.
“但它可是你的最爱。”我说。
“I know,” said Tex. “Just promise to give it back after school.”
我晓得，”特克斯说，“只需你承诺下学后还给我就好了。”
“No problem,” I said,glancing in the mirror on my way out the door. “I look like a goofball in this thing!”
“没题目，”我说。出门前，我照了照镜子。“戴上这个工具，我看上去就像个傻瓜！”
“A lucky goofball!” said Tex.
“一个荣幸的傻瓜！”特克斯说。
“Hum.” I grabbed my backpack. “Thanks,I think.”
“嗯，”我抓起书包说道，“好吧，感谢。”
Now,before I go on,you should know that I’m not an overly superstitious person. I don’t believe that thirteen is an unlucky number or that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck. I definitely don’t freak out if a black cat crossees my path. And when it comes to things like lucky four-leaf clovers and lucky pennies,I just never believed in them.
说到这里，你要晓得我不是个极为科学的人。我不觉得13是个不利的数字，或打坏镜子会带来7年的恶运。我决不会由于一只黑猫在我眼前走过而被吓坏，也决不会信任诸如荣幸四叶草、荣幸便士这类工具。
Anyway,I was racing to catch the school bus,and I saw a dollar on the sidewalk! I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it,but people just kept stepping on the poor thing,so I decided to rescue it. I’d found pennies and nickels before,but never a dollar! Then,I didn’t miss the bus,because the bus was even later than me—which never happens!
不论如何，当我正冒死追逐校车 时，我看到人行道上有张一美圆的钞票！我环视周围，看看有没人在找它，可儿们都接踵踩过这个不幸的家伙，以是我决议救援它。之前我捡过便士和镍币，可从没 发明过一美圆的钞票。随后，我不错过校车，由于校车乃至比我还晚到——这是从未产生过的！
My luck didn’t stop there. Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me,quizzing each other on spelling words. I turned around and said,“You guys know that test isn’t till tomorrow,right?”
我的命运并未就此打住。卡洛斯和杰克逊恰好坐在我后面，正彼此考单词拼写。我转过头去，说：“你们晓得今天才考试，对吗？”
“It got switched to this morning,” said Jackson. “Remember?There’s some assembly tomorrow. ”
“已改到今天早上了。”杰克逊说，“记得吗？今天有个大会要开。”
“That’s right. I totally forgot!” I said. “I’m so lucky that I sat in front of you. If I hadn’t,I wouldn’t have found out till it was too late!” I got out my spelling words,studied all the way to school. And ended up acing the test!
“对哦。我忘得一尘不染！”我说，“坐在你们后面我何等荣幸啊。不然，到我发明已晚了。”我拿出要考的单词表来，去黉舍的一起上，我都在温习。终究，我考了个好成就。
The minute I got home,I gave Tex a gigantic hug.
一回抵家，我就给特克斯一个大大的拥抱。
“This is the luckiest hat in the world,” I said. “I’m never taking it off!”
“这是天下上最荣幸的帽子。”我说，“我永久都不取上去了！”
“But you promised to give it back!” said Tex.
“但你承诺过要还给我的。”特克斯说。
“I know,but…” I pretended to try to pull the hat off my head. “I think it’s stuck.”
“我晓得，可是……”我伪装试图把帽子摘上去，“我想它粘住了。”
“It is not!” said Tex.
“不！”特克斯说。
“Please-oh-please let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day!” I begged.
“求求你把你的荣幸帽借我再用一天。”我要求道。
“Tomorrow I’m auditioning for the school play,and I need every bit of help I can get.”
“今天我要参与黉舍话剧扮演的选角口试，我须要获得统统赞助。”
“OK,” said Tex. “One more day. But you’d better be really nice to me.”
“好吧，”特克斯说，“再借一天。但你最好真得对我好点。”
“I will,” I agreed. “In fact,here you can have my lucky dollar!” Tex let out a whoop,then started dancing around and waving his gift in the air.
“我会的，”我赞成道，“如许，我这张荣幸美圆给你！”特克斯喝彩了一声，接着，他一边在空中挥动着他的礼品，一边起头在周围跳起舞来。
The next day turned out to be super lucky. My audition couldn’t have gone better.
第二天，我的命运棒极了。我的试演再好不过了。
“Wow,Arizona!” said my friend Mareya. “I can’t believe how amazingly you just did! You are so getting a major part in this play!”
“哇，亚利桑那！”我的`伴侣玛瑞娅说，“你方才的扮演太使人受惊了，我的确不敢信任！你必定能够在这部话剧里演配角！”
“Thanks! You did really great,too!” I said. “But honestly,the only reason I did OK is because I had my lucky hat.”
“感谢！你也扮演得很棒！”我回覆道，“不过，诚恳说，我扮演好全由于我有一顶荣幸帽。”
“What lucky hat?” asked Mareya.
“甚么荣幸帽？”玛瑞娅问。
“This one,reaching into my backpack,where I thought I’d put Tex’s hat since I couldn’t wear it for the audition. But it wasn’t there! “Oh no!” I cried. “It’s gone! What am I going to tell Tex?”
“便是这个，”我边说边把手伸进书包里，我觉得我把特克斯的帽子放在书包里了，由于我不能戴着它扮演。但帽子不在外面！“哦，不！”我喊道，“它不见了！我如何跟特克斯交接啊？”
Mareya helped me look for it. Luckily,we found Tex’s hat in my locker. Also luckily,I discovered that I could be lucky with or without a goofy-looking cap in my possession.
玛瑞娅也帮我找，荣幸的是，咱们发明本来帽子放在我的储物柜里了。一样荣幸的是，我发明不管戴不戴那顶落入我手中让我看起来风趣好笑的帽子，我城市有好运。
“So it wasn’t the hat,” said Mareya. “This is just a wild guess,but maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month.”
“以是，并不是由于那顶帽子，”玛瑞娅说，“那不过是瞎猜罢了。或许那是你曩昔一个月里吃苦操练的成果。”
“Hmm,” I said. “It’s possible.”
“嗯，”我说，“能够或许是！”
So,dear Looking,I guess you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared,believing in yourself…and maybe just a tiny bit of magic!In other words,luck may come your way,but you have to be ready for it when it does!
以是，敬爱的命运寻找者，我想你能够说荣幸是如许一个组合——做好筹办，信任本身……或许再加上一点点的邪术！换言之，荣幸或许正向你走来，但在它来临时，你得做好筹办！
Ciao for now.
写到这里。再会。
