16世纪末,英国女王伊丽莎白一世打算派最亲密的顾问罗伯特·塞西尔去各地巡视。为了保障他的安全,女王决定从王宫众多卫士中挑选出一位最得力的人。
那天,上千名体形剽悍、武艺高强的卫士聚集在伦敦威斯敏斯特教堂前的广场上,他们摩拳擦掌,跃跃欲试,都渴望好运能降临到自己头上。伊丽莎白一世环视着大家,走到队伍前面,示意紧随其后的塞西尔自行去挑选。塞西尔走到队伍中,他拍了这个的胸脯强壮有力,拧了那个的胳膊结实有劲,感觉都很满意,半天拿不定主意。
“还是由我来考考他们吧。”伊丽莎白一世略显不耐烦地说道,然后轻咳了一声。
顷刻间,上百匹脱缰的骏马从远处奔腾而来。女王指着它们,大声说:“我的勇士,你们表现的机会到了,快去征服那些发疯的骏马吧!”
没一会儿,上百匹骏马就被一个个奋不顾身的卫士制服了,只是因为人多马少,每匹马的前后左右都被七八名卫士牢牢围着,没有哪个肯远离半步。
女王看到此景,不禁迟疑地说:“马是大家合力拦住的,我该判定谁才是真正的勇士呢?”
她转过身,发现有名卫士一直守护在塞西尔身旁,于是惊讶地问:“你怎么没去拦截马匹?难道你不想当勇士吗?”
那名卫士摇了摇头,严肃地答道:“我保护住了主人的安全,便是真正的勇士。”
女王笑了,对塞西尔说:“他就是你那位最合适的人选!”
真正的能者,并非时时处处都逞强争胜,而是能首先做好自己的分内事。
I’m very happy to receive your letter, and I’m glad to hear that you will go to China to learn Chinese here. I have already found a fiat for you. It is on Fangcao Street, which is not far from Jianxin Chinese School. Bus No.11 can take you there, and it is one stop before the Chinese School. The flat is on the third floor with 3 rooms, one of which is bedroom, the other two are bathroom and kitchen. There are a bed, a sofa, a desk and some chairs in this 25 square-metres small fiat, and the rent is 500 yuan per month. Maybe this fiat is not as good as your wish, but I’ll try my best to meet your needs. If it is not suitable enough, write to me and I will look for another better place.
Hope you will come here soon!
All the best!
Yours,
Li Hua
