Country Garden and Me
On the way from Panyu City to Shunde City and approaching the conjunction point of both cities, a big advertisement board of the infamous Country Garden will catch your eyes. And on the board, a lovely girl gently holds a little white pigeon.
She looks at everybody with a sweet smile. Who is this girl? Let me tell you later. Country Garden is located at the Beijao town, Shunde City of Guangdong Province. Ten years ago when my Dad and Mom took me as a baby to Guangzhou, it was a wasteland here. But what does this piece of wasteland look like nowadays? Country Garden has been developed and enlarged rapidly on the ground of this land, and a great number of high-quality houses and apartments have been built up within the garden. Over the past decade, other nine country gardens with various unique designs have been erasing around the great city of Guangzhou. The construction and management of several gardens have engaged the devoted contributions from my Dad and Mom.
Country Garden has grown up together with me, and I am one of the witnesses of its growth and development.
Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go.
It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."
一只老鼠从一只狮子面前跑过去,将它从梦中吵醒。狮子生气地跳起来,捉住老鼠,要弄死它。老鼠哀求说:「只要你肯饶恕我这条小生命,我将来一定会报答你的大恩。」狮子便笑着放了它。
后来狮子被几个猎人捉住,用粗绳捆绑倒在地上。老鼠听出是狮子的`吼声,走来用牙齿咬断绳索,释放了它,并大声说:「你当时嘲笑我想帮你的忙,而且也不指望我有什么机会报答。但是你现在知道了,就算是小老鼠,也能向狮子效劳的。」
自从上次学游泳之后,我都叫嚷着要爸爸带我再去“九龙休闲城”学游泳,游了几次,爸爸说我只知道在水中玩,不用心去学,便再也没有带我去游泳了(去年夏天。我呢?脑海中老是浮现出学游泳的姿势和要领,也只好等到20XX年了!
盼啊盼!今年的夏天终于到来了!离县城中心不远新修了一个名叫“天沐山庄”的游泳馆,我马上叫爸爸带我去那里游泳。
来到“天沐山庄”,游泳池里的人数不胜数,我们到换衣间换了泳裤,开始学游泳!我看见有游泳爱好者的姿势和我的不同,我问爸爸:“他游的是什么泳啊?”爸爸告诉我:“他游的这种泳是‘自由泳’!”随即,我也开始学“自由泳”,一只手放前面,一只手放后面,两只手成直线,五指闭拢,成三百六十度划水,过了一会儿,我发现:“蛙泳”需要的力气大一些,“自由泳”需要的力气小一些!利用了一下午的时间,我打下了“自由泳”的基础,并且陆陆续续脱离了游泳圈!
后来,由于爸爸上班很忙,所以,每次都是我单独一个人坐车去游泳,每次我都单独练习“自由泳”。刚学“自由泳”的时候,我只能游几米,就沉到水底去了。通过了一段时间训练后,我可以在水中自由自在地翱翔了!说起这段时间训练的苦,我真是不知道喝了多少次水!
小学毕业了,我们班篮球队队员一起来“天沐山庄”游泳,相比而言:只有我和教练的游泳技术高一些,所以,游泳的过程中,其他的队员都请教我们,我耐心地教他们,没过多久,他们也一个个爱上了游泳了!我心里真高兴:呵呵,我居然当游泳教练了!
游泳不仅可以锻炼身体,还可以锻炼意志力,更是一种救护本领!朋友们,你们也来学游泳吧!
The fox, filled with arrogance, examined the cat from head to feet, and for a long time did not know whether he should give an answer. At last he said, "Oh, you poor beard-licker, you speckled fool, you hungry mouse hunter, what are you thinking? Have you the nerve to ask how I am doing? What do you know? How many tricks do you understand?"
"I understand but one," answered the cat, modestly.
"What kind of a trick is it?" asked the fox.
"When the dogs are chasing me, I can jump into a tree and save myself."
"Is that all?" said the fox. "I am master of a hundred tricks, and in addition to that I have a sackful of cunning. I feel sorry for you. Come with me, and I will teach you how one escapes from the dogs."
Just then a hunter came by with four dogs. The cat jumped nimbly up a tree, and sat down at its top, where the branches and foliage completely hid her.
"Untie your sack, Mr. Fox, untie your sack," the cat shouted to him, but the dogs had already seized him, and were holding him fast.
"Oh, Mr. Fox," shouted the cat. "You and your hundred tricks are left in the lurch. If you been able to climb like I can, you would not have lost your life."
一只猫在森林里遇到一只狐狸,心想:“他又聪明,又丰富,挺受人尊重的。”於是它很友好地和狐狸打招呼:“日安,尊敬的狐狸先生,您好吗?这些日子挺艰难的,您过得怎么样?”
狐狸傲慢地将猫从头到脚地打量了一番,半天拿不定主意是不是该和它说话。最后它说:“哦,你这个倒霉的长着鬍子、满身花纹的傻瓜、饥肠辘辘地追赶老鼠的.傢伙,你会啥?有甚么资格问我过得怎么样?你都学了点甚么本事?”
“我只有一种本领。”猫谦虚地说。
“甚么本领?”狐狸问。
“有人追我的时候,我会爬到树上去藏起来保护自己。”
“就这本事?”狐狸不屑地说,“我掌握了上百种本领,而且还有满口袋计谋。我真觉得你可怜,跟着我吧,我教你怎么从追捕中逃生。”
就在这时,猎人带着四条狗走近了。猫敏捷地窜到一棵树上,在树顶上蹲伏下来,茂密的树叶把它遮挡得严严实实。
“快打开你的计谋口袋,狐狸先生,快打开呀!”猫冲着狐狸喊道。可是猎狗已经将狐狸扑倒咬住了。“哎呀,狐狸先生,”猫喊道,“你的千百种本领就这么给扔掉了!假如你能像我一样爬树就不至於丢了性命了!”
一辆大巴驶过,坑里的积水溅得老高。待一切都趋于宁静时晓珊望着水坑还在回味刚才“壮丽”的幕。突然,她的眼睛一亮:水面上飘满了五颜六色的波痕并不断地交换着颜色。晓珊兴奋极了。“妈妈,我发现了彩虹仙女的家,你快来呀!”她边喊边跑向家里。这时妈妈走出来了。“妈妈,我……”“唉,你这孩子,又把衣服弄脏了。你是一个女孩,不要再大惊小怪了,远离这些无聊的东西。”晓珊仍然不肯放弃,继续说:“我发现彩虹仙女的.家了”。邻居小男孩像个小老头似的说:“真幼稚,那是汽油滴到水上浮散开了。阳光一照就形成,这是光的反射”。晓珊失望极了。
多年过后,已为人母的晓珊在院子里晒太阳。他的儿子阿杰跑过来兴奋地说:“妈妈,我发现了仙女的家”。她刚想训斥儿子时,蓦然想起当年那个被击碎的“发现”,一切都是那么的遥远。晓珊俯下身,温柔的说:“是的,仙女的家被你发现了,但愿你永远地珍藏这个发现”。瞬间,她发现童年与中年的她产生了如此遥远的距离。晓珊再也不能平静了。
随着年龄的增长,阅历的丰富,儿时的童真与真诚都逐渐被忙碌的生活遗忘。我们与孩童心灵上的距离是那么的遥远,愈拉愈长。
距离是一把锉刀,扶平了我们的棱角,让我们像黑白电视机一样单调无色彩;距离是一面密不透风的围墙,堵塞了我们的语言,让我们如木偶一般机械;距离是一条通天河,隔绝了我们的心灵,让我们似鹅卵石一样冰冷,不经意中,距离趁虚而入。当距离变得遥远,会使没有完全麻木的心融化。
其实世上本没有距离,丧失童真的人多了,也就产生了距离。只要我们在心中修筑一座坚固的桥,用信念做基,沟通做梁,那么它就会永远的挺立在风雨中,生活的洪流就不会冲垮它,距离也就不复存在。
世界上最遥远的距离,不是天涯海角,而是我告诉你这朵花睡了,你却说:“不,这是生物钟”。
