从前(Once upon a time)，有两个饥饿的(hungry)人得到了一位长者的恩赐：一根鱼竿和一篓(basket)鲜活硕大的鱼。其中，一个人要了一篓鱼，另一个人要了一根鱼竿，于是他们分道扬镳了。得到鱼的人原地就用干柴搭起篝火煮起了鱼，他狼吞虎咽，还没有品出鲜鱼的肉香，转瞬间，连鱼带汤就被他吃了个精光，不久，他便饿(starved)死在空空的鱼篓旁。

Another one is carrying rod to starve, step by step, hard to the edge, but when he has not seen the blue sea, he was the last bit of strength and make out, he also looking only endless regret working area.

另一个人则提着鱼竿继续忍饥挨饿，一步步(step by step)艰难地向海边(edge)走去，可当他已经看到不远处那片蔚蓝色的海洋时，他浑身的最后一点力气也使完了，他也只能眼巴巴地带着无尽的(endless)遗憾(regret)撒手人间。

又有两个饥饿的人(hunger)，他们同样得到了长者恩赐的一根鱼竿和一篓鱼。只是他们并没有各奔东西，而是商定共同去找寻大海，他俩每次只煮一条鱼，他们经过遥远的(hunger)跋涉，来到了海边，从此，两人开始了捕鱼为生的日子，几年后，他们盖起了房子，有了各自的家庭、子女，有了自己建造的渔船，过上了幸福安康的生活。

一个人只顾眼前的(immediate)利益(benefit)，得到的终将是短暂的欢愉；一个人目标高远，但也要面对现实的生活。只有把理想(ideal)和现实有机结合起来，才有可能成为一个成功之人。有时候，一个简单的道理，却足以给人意味深长的(meaningful)生命启示。
