Step 2經(jīng)典美文

We are on a journey

By Henry Van Dyke

Wherever you are， and whoever you may be， there is one thing in which you and I are just alike，at this moment，and in all the moments of our existence.We are not at rest； we are on a journey.Our life is not a mere fact； it is a movement， a①tendency， a steady，②ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal.We are gaining something， or losing something， every day.Even when our position and our character seem to remain③precisely the same，they are changing.For the mere advance of time is a change.It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July.The season makes the difference.The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another.Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed.It sets us forward or backward.Are you richer today than you were yesterday?No？Then you are a little poorer.Are you better today than you were yesterday？ No？ Then you are a little worse.Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday?Yes，you must be a little nearer to some port or other；for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life you have never been still for a single moment； the sea is too deep， you could not find an anchorage錨地if you would； there can be no pause until you come into port.

人在旅途

亨利·凡·戴克

無論你在何方，也無論你是何人，此刻，抑或在我們生命中的任一瞬間，你與我之間都有一點(diǎn)相同之處。那就是，我們并未停歇，而仍在旅途。我們的人生并不是一種存在的事實(shí)，而是一種運(yùn)動(dòng)，一種趨勢，一種堅(jiān)定不移而沒有停息地朝向某個(gè)看不見的目標(biāo)前行的過程。每一天，我們都有所得，也有所失。即使我們的地位和品性看起來與原來無異，但實(shí)際上它們正在改變，因?yàn)闀r(shí)間的推移本身就是一種改變。同一片荒野，在一月和七月是不同的，季節(jié)造成了這種差異。智能上的不足，在孩子身上被視為天真無邪，而對于成人來說則是一種幼稚的表現(xiàn)。我們所做的每件事都是朝著某一個(gè)方向邁出的一步。甚至無為，其本身也是一種作為，它使我們前進(jìn)或后退。你今天比昨天富有嗎?沒有?那說明你變窮了點(diǎn)。你今天比昨天過得好嗎?沒有?那么你的情況變糟了一點(diǎn)。你今天比昨天更接近你的港口了嗎?是的，那么你一定距某個(gè)港口更近了。因?yàn)?，自從你駛?cè)肴松?，你的航船至今尚未停歇片刻。這片海太深了，縱使你想找到一個(gè)拋錨停泊之處也難以求得。因此，在駛?cè)敫劭谥?，你無法稍作歇息。
