1．The Two Roads两条路
It was Christmas Eve，an aged man was standing on the balcony ，with uneasy，alarmed and pessimistic expression； He sighed for his miserable fate, and raised his sad eyes, gazed at the sparking stars in the deep blue sky. A falling star depicted a curve in the sky and disappeared, which seemed like the symbol of his life.
Then he cast them below his floor, where a few more desperate people than him were moving towards their inevitable destination-the grave. He had already expended sixty years on the way leading to it, and he had acquired nothing but agony and regret. Now his health was poor, his mind was vacant, his heart was sorrowful, and his life was short of comforts.
The days of his youth appeared like dreams floating in his brain, and he recalled the strategic moment when he stood at the access to two roads- At the end of the first road, it was a peaceful and sunny place. It was covered with delicate flowers, fascinating bamboo forest, bunches of attractive grapes. There lived cute deer, tame lambs, and flying butterflies and echoed with the merry, sweet laughter. There were also winding tracks and h
oney peach trees dotted the graceful landscape.
At the end of the second road, it was a damp and dull cave, which was an absolute hell of great bulk. It was covered with moist ponds and marshes, nasty, ditches and jungles, chilling and thrilling jails, all around was emitting the stale acid flavor. There lived evil devils, giant monsters, poisonous snakes, and echoed with the horrible barking of wolves. It was full of spiders, bats, frogs, damn rats, offensive bugs and other crawling insects.
He looked up to the sky and shouted aloud,“O youth, return! Return !”
And his youth did return, for all this was only a nightmare which he had on Christmas Eve. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the damp and dull cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which led to the peaceful and sunny land.
Those youngsters, who朗钜御风庭 are still wandering at the entrance of life and hesitating to choos
e the bright road, remember that when years have passed and your feet are limping in the dark cave, you will cry bitterly, but in vain; “O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”
1.两条路
他将目光投向地面，几个比他更加绝望的人正在走向人生必然的终点—坟墓。在通往人生终点的道路上，他已经过了60多个年头，除了痛苦和悔恨，他一无所获。现在，他身体虚弱，精神空虚，心情忧郁，缺少晚年应有的舒适。青春的岁月如梦幻般浮现在他的脑海里，他回想起当他站在人生岔口上的关键时刻。当时，他面前有两条路—
第一条路的尽头，是一个和平、阳光普照的地方。那里有娇嫩的鲜花、迷人的竹林、一串串诱人的葡萄、可爱的小鹿、温顺的羊羔、翩飞的蝴蝶，到处回荡着愉快甜美的笑声，还有弯弯曲曲的小路和小蜜桃树点缀着那里优美的风景。
第二条路的尽头，是一个犹如地狱般潮湿阴暗的巨大山洞。那里遍布着潮湿的池塘和沼泽、肮脏的水沟和丛林、阴冷而恐怖的牢狱，四周散发着陈腐的酸味，那里有恶魔、巨兽和毒蛇，回荡着令人毛骨悚然的狼嚎声。随处可见的是蜘蛛、蝙蝠、青蛙、老鼠、令人讨厌的臭虫和其他昆虫。
他仰望天空，大声地哭喊：“哦，青春，你回来吧！回来吧！”
他的青春真的回来了，因为以上所发生的一切只是他在平安夜做的一场噩梦。他仍旧年轻，虽然的确犯过一些错误，但还未坠入深渊；他仍然可以自由地走上通往和平与光明的道路。
在人生的十字路口徘徊，不知该不该选择光明大道的年轻人啊，你们千万要记住：当你青春已逝，双足在黑暗的山洞举步维艰，跌跌撞撞之时，你才痛疾首地呼唤：“哦，回来吧，青春！哦，把我的美好年华还给我！”这将毫无意义。
2 .The House with a Golden Window 带有金窗户的房子
In the bowels of a mountain of frontier zone, a little boy lived in a crude house, which co
uld only accommodate five people of his household. There was not any railroad, freeway highway or even a pub (an inn) around the mountain .His ancestors and he were the exclusive inhabitants on the mountain for several centuries.
As he was 6 years old, he could see a wonderful house across the valley on a higher altitude of the other mountain, which had a golden window. H萧红传e fancied that the emperor, prince and princess in fable must have been living in that kind of house. Sometimes, in order to assure himself that it was an authentic 油炸火腿肠house, the innocent boy often stared at it, with exceeding thirst for living in it.
6 years later, the little boy believed that he had acquired plentiful knowledge and skills to dominate his life. Accordingly, he made a farewell to his parents, and flung himself on the road with a manual kit, which was made of the fabric that was weaved by his mother. There was a coil of nylon cord, a saw and other implements in it.
In spite of the hindrance of the muddy and slipper slope, for the impulse of his keen desire, he probed the road with a stick and proceeded towards the house consistently.
As he mounted the summit, he focused on the trail that led to the house and then on it. It seemed to appear an abnormal phenomenon-the house vanished weirdly and was replaced by a ugly house, which was comparable with his little house, and it windows were plain and rather dirty.
After opening the door, he found that the house was a discarded mill in a state of disorder. In the center of the house, the tools which could grind wheat into flour were covered with thick dust and the trace of mice, a rude donkey saddle and some stained sacks lying nearby it. I感恩祖国的话n one corner, a primitive rack was full of cracks, spider was spinning web on it, and some fragments of mat were underneath 水银中毒怎么解毒it. In another corner, there was a stack of straw in mess, a rusted spade and a leaky barrel.
The little boy was extremely disappointed. When he was ready to leave, he detected a sight which amazed him –there was his little house across the valley on the lower mountain and its window was shining with golden color- as the midday daylight (sunshine相识瞬间) was shinning on the glass of its window…
