Belling the cat
long ago,there was a big cat in the house.He caught many mice while they were stealing food.
one day the mice had a meeting to talk about the way to deal with their common enemy.Some said this,and some said that.
At last a young mouse got up,and said that he had a good idea.
"we could tie a bell around the neck of the cat.Then when he comes near,we can hear the sound of the bell,and run away."
Everyone approved of this proposal,but an old wise mouse got up and said,"This is all very well,but who will tie the bell to the cat?" The mice looked at each other,but nobody spoke.
给猫挂铃铛
很久以前,房子里有只大猫.他抓住了许多偷吃粮食的老鼠.一天,老鼠们开会讨论对付猫的办法.有的说这样,有有的说那样.最后一只小老鼠站起来,说他有一个好办法：我们给猫的脖子上拴一个铃当,当猫走近的时候,我们就可以听到铃声,就可以逃跑了.每个老鼠都同意这个建议,但是一只老老鼠站起来说：那谁去给猫戴上铃当呢?老鼠们你看我,我看你,没人出声了.

A Perfect Day
When you come to the end of a perfect day,
And you sit alone with your thought,
While the chimes ring out with a carol gay
For the joy that the day had brough,
Do you think what the end of a perfect day
Can mean to a tired heart,
When the sun goes down with a flaming ray,
And the dear friends have to part?
Well, this is the end of a perfect day,
Near the end of a journey too;
But it leaves a thought that is big and strong,
With a wish that is kind and true.
For memory has painted this perfect day,
With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of a perfect day,
The soul of a friend we've made.
美好的日子
当美好的日子即将流过，
你沉思着独自静坐；
当钟声随着快乐的颂歌响起，
为了这美好的日子带来的快乐；
当太阳带着红霞西沉，
亲爱的朋友你又得奔波，
你可曾想到对于一颗疲惫的心，
这美好日子的结束会意味着什么？
啊，这是一个美好日子的终点，
也是一次旅行的终结；
但它留下了强烈的思念，
还有那亲切而真诚的祝愿。
这美好日子的回忆，
永不消褪，永远鲜艳。
我们在这美好日子的终点，
看到了朋友的神圣的心田。

You are supposed to buy a rose
in such pink atmosphere;
I wonder if roses bloom
only for us.
With a little money,
I hold the rose' destination;
when the day passes,
who else will care her petals paled
somewhere else?
在如此浪漫的氛围里，
注定你要买一束玫瑰；
只是我怀疑它们
为我们还是为自己开放。
只用了一点点钱，
我握着一束玫瑰的命运。
情人节过后，
谁还会叹息她的花瓣
在哪里凋谢?
（二）
Happiness is the way.
So treasure every moment that you have.
And remember that time waits for no one.
So stop waiting until you finish school;
until you go back to school;
until you get married;
until you get divorced;
until you have kids;
until you retire;
until you get a new car or home;
until spring;
until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
幸福本身就是路。
所以,珍惜你拥有的每一刻，
且记住时不我待，
不要再作所谓的等待--
等你上完学，
等你再回到学校；
等你结婚或离婚；
等你有了孩子或孩子长大离开家；
等你开始工作或等你退休；
等你有了新车或新房；
等春天来临；
等你有幸再来世上走一遭才明白此时此刻最应快乐……

A father sat at his desk poring over his monthly bills when his young son rushed in and announced, “Dad, because this is your birthday and you’re 55 years old, I’m going to give you 55 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy started making good on his word, the father exclaimed, “Oh, Andrew, don’t do it now; I’m too busy!”
The youngster immediately fell silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes. Apologically the father said, “You can finish later.”
The boy said nothing but quietly walked away, disappointment written over his face. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t respond.
Unfortunately, a few days later after this incident, the boy had an accident and was drowned. His heartbroken father wrote...
“If only I could tell him how much I regret my thoughtless words, and could be assured that he knows how much my heart is aching.”
…Love is a two-way street. Any loving act must be warmly accepted or it will be taken as rejection and can leave a scar. If we are too busy to give and receive love, we are too busy! Nothing is more important than responding with love to the cry for love from those who are near and precious to us. Because... there may be no chance at all as in the case of the little boy...
父亲坐在办公桌旁，正盯着那些堆积了一个月来的账单，这时，他的小儿子冲了过来，大声宣布：“爸爸，因为今天是你五十五岁的生日， 我想给你五十五个吻，一年一个！”当男孩正要兑现诺言时，他爸爸大声说道：“哦，安德鲁，现在不行，我太忙了！”
小男孩马上不吭声了，蓝色的大眼睛里涌满了泪水。父亲深表歉意地说：“过会有空再亲吧。”
男孩什么也没说，只是静静地走开了，失望的表情溢于言表。那天晚上，父亲说：“来吧安德鲁，现在可以亲了！”但是，孩子却没有做出回应。
不幸的是，这件事刚过去几天之后，小男孩就不幸溺水身亡。伤心欲绝的爸爸写道：
“如果我早告诉他，对于那些无心的话我是多么后悔，他一定会明白我的心有多么痛。”
……爱，是一条双行道。对于爱的表示一定要热心地接受，否则对方会以为你拒绝了，从而留下一道伤痕。如果我们忙得连给予和接受爱的时间都没有，那未免也忙得太过分了！对于那些在我们身边，对我们弥足珍贵的人，用爱去回应他们爱的渴望，这最重要不过了！因为……如果发生像小男孩这样的情况，即使后悔也没有机会了。
