You Are My Sunshine
Like any good mother, when Karen found out that
another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her
three-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new baby. They fout that
it was going to be a girl, and day after day, night after
night, Michael &1 &to
his sister in Mommy's tummy.
The pregnancy progressed &2
&for Karen. Then the labor pains came. Every five
minutes ... every minute. But complications
&3 &during delivery.
Finally, Michael's little sister was born. But she was in serious
&4 . With siren（警报）howling in the night,
the ambulance &5 &the
infant to the Intensive Care Unit （ICU）at St. Mary's Hospital in
Knoxville, Tennessee.
&inched by. The little girl got worse. The doctors
told the parents, "There is very little hope. " Karen and her
husband contacted a local cemetery (墓地) about a burial plot. They
had &7 &a special room in
their home for the new baby -- now they planned a funeral.
&& Week two in Intensive Care, it
looked as if a funeral would come &8
&the week was over. Michael kept begging his
parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he
said. Kids were never &9
&in Intensive Care Unit. But Karen made up her
mind. She would take Michael &10
&they liked it or not.
&11 &him in an oversized
scrub suit and &12 &him
into ICU. He looked like a walking laundry basket, but the head
nurse &13 &him as a child,
"Get that kid out of here now! " The usually
&14 &lady glared into the
head nurse's face, her lips a &15
&line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his
sister!" Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazed at
the tiny baby &16 &the
battle to live. And he began to sing &17
&the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old.
Michael sang, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make
me happy when skies are gray"
&18 &the baby girl
responded. The pulse rate became &19
&and steady.
&& "Keep on singing, Michael. "
&"You never know, dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away -- " The breathing became as
smooth as a kitten's purr. "Keep on singing, Michael.
"& "The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping,… "
Michael's little sister relaxed as well.
Funeral plans were &20 . The next day
-- the very next day -- the little girl was well enough to go home!
The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a
miracle of God's love!

Youth& --- by Samuel
太平洋战争打得正酣之时，麦克阿瑟将军常常从繁忙中抬起头，注视着挂在墙上的镜框，镜框里是篇文章，名为《青春》。这篇文章一直伴随着他，也跟着他到了日本。后来，日本在东京的美军总部发现了它，《青春》便开始在日本流传。一位资深的日本问题观察说，在日本实业界，没有哪一个不熟知不应用这篇的，就连松下电器的创始人松下幸之助几十年来也把《青春》当作他的座右铭。还有这么一件趣事，足以证明《青春》在日本的魅力。一天，美国影片销售协会主席罗森菲尔德参加日本实业界的聚会，在晚宴之前的谈话中，他随意说了一句：“《青春》的作者，便是我的祖父。”在座的各位实业界领袖大为惊讶，其中有一位一边说“我一直随身带着它呢”，一边从口袋里掏出了《青春》。强烈建议背诵该文。本文后附的译文与原文互为辉映，反应了译者汉语功底深厚。很多译文往往词不达意，破坏了原译文的意境。
Youth i i it is not a
matter of rosy cheeks, red l it is a matter of
the will, a quality of the imagination, a v it
is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage
over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.
This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody
grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up
enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the
heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s
heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next
and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and
my heart, there i so long as it receives
messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the
infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is
covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then
you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your&
aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may
die young at 80.

青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面，丹唇，柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炽热的感情；青春是生命的源泉在不息的涌流。
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
进取倒苟安。如此锐气，弱冠后生有之，耳顺之年，则亦多见，年岁有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤，热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
无论年届古稀，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆深植一片追求，只要你从天上，人间追求美好，希望，欢乐，勇气和力量，你就青春永驻，风华长存。&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
一旦追求消失，锐气如同冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭，自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已老矣。然坚持追求，你就有望在百岁高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年青。
My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played
their own special game from the time they had met each other. The
goal of their &1 &was to
write the word "shmily" in a surprise place for the other to find.
&&leaving "shmily" around the
house, and &3 &one of them
discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more.
　& Little notes with "shmily"
scribbled（潦草的写）hurriedly were 4 &on
dashboards and car seats, or taped to steering wheels.
It took me a long time before I was able to
&5 &appreciate my
grand-parents' game. Skepticism（怀疑论）has &6
&me from believing in true love -- one that is
pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents'
7 . It was more than their flirtatious（调戏的） it
was a way of life. Their relationship was based on a devotion and
passionate affection which not everyone is
&8 &to experience.　　
　　But there was a dark &9
&in my grandparents' life: my grandmother had
breast cancer. As always, Grandpa was 10
&her every step of the way. He comforted her in
their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be
surrounded by sunshine.
　& Now the cancer was again
&11 &her body. With the
help of a cane and my grandfather's steady hand, they went to
church every morning. &12 my grandmother
grew steadily weaker until, &13 , she could
not leave the house anymore. For a while, Grandpa would go to
church alone, praying to God to watch over his wife.
&&Then one day, what we all
feared finally &14 . Grandma was gone.
"Shmily." It was &15 &in
yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother's funeral bouquet. As
the crowd &16 &and the
last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my
grandmother's casket and, taking a deep &17
, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song
&18 &as a deep and throaty
lullaby（催眠曲）.
Shaking with my own sorrow, I will never forget that
&19 . For I knew that, although I couldn't
begin to understand the depth of their love,& I
had been &20&
&&to witness its unmatched
beauty. SHMILY: See how much I love you.

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old
daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight
and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to
put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought
the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you,
&&& The man was
embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again
when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating,
"Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed
to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears
in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew
kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."
&&& The father
was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged
for her forgiveness.
&&& Only a short
time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told
that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and,
whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss
and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
&&& In a very
real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a
gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses... from
our children, family members, friends, and God. There is simply no
other possession, anyone could hold, more precious than this.

Mother’s Hands
Night after night，she came to tuck me in，even long after my
childhood years. 1 &&her
longstanding custom，she’d lean down and &2

I don’t remember &3 &it
first started annoying me -- her hands pushing my hair that way.
But it did annoy me，for they felt work-worn and rough
&4 &my young
skin.Finally，one night，I &5

too rough！”She didn’t say anything in &6 .
But never again did my mother &7

Time after time，with the passing years，my

night. By then I missed my mother’s hands，missed her goodnight

Sometimes the incident seemed very close，sometimes far away.But
always it lurked，in the back of my mind.
Well，the years have passed， 10 &I’m not
a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies，and those hands
I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my
family.She’s been our doctor， 11 &into a
medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girl’s stomach or
soothe the boy’s scraped knee.She cooks the best fried chicken in
the world...gets stains &12
&blue jeans like I never could...
Now，my own children are grown and gone.Mom no longer has Dad，and
on special &13 ，I find myself drawn next
door to spend the night with her.So it was late on Thanksgiving
Eve，as I slept in the bedroom of my youth，a
&&hand hesitantly run across my
face to brush the hair from my forehead.Then a
kiss，& 15 &so
gently，touched my brow.
In my memory，for the thousandth time，I
&16 &the night my young
voice complained，“Don’t do that anymore -- your hands are too
rough！”Catching Mom’s hand in hand，I blurted out how
&17 &I was for that
night.I thought she’d remember，as I did.But Mom didn’t know what I
was talking about.She had forgotten -- and
&18 &-- long ago.
That night，I fell asleep with a new &19

out and smile at three people and note down their
.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Soon after we were& 3& the
project ,my husband ,youngest son and I went out to McDonald’s. We
were standing in line, waiting to be&
4& . When all of a sudden everyone around us
began to back away. As I turned around, I smelled a
“dirty body”smell and there &&
6& &me stood two poor
homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman close to me,
he was “& 7& ” -- his
beautiful sky blue eyes were full of the light as he searched
.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
He said “Good day” as he &&
9& &the few coins he had been
holding. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted
.He said ,“Coffee is& 10&
, Miss,” because that was what they could afford.To sit in the
restaurant and& 11& up,
they had to buy
something.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Then I really felt it -- the
so great that I almost reached out and embraced the little man with
the blue eyes .That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant
judging my every action .I smiled and asked for two more breakfast
meals on a
tray. I then walked to the table that the men had chosen as a
&spot, put the tray on the table and laid my
hand on the blue eyed gentleman’s cold hand. He looked
me, with tears in his eyes ,and said ,“Thank you.” I patted his
hand and said , “I did not do this for you .God is here working
to give you
hope.”&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I returned to college with this story in hand.
“my project” and later the instructor read it to the class. In this
classmates and the people around me. And I graduated with one of
the most meaningful lessons in my life --
&acceptance.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
