【美文欣赏】 Bring Happiness Home 带快乐回家
导读
在现代竞争社会,工作压力很大,工作中也会遇到一些不顺心的
事。家是温暖的港湾,当你在外奔波身心疲惫时,家人会给你温暖和
关爱,因此千万不要把烦恼带回家,让家人跟着你不愉快。读到一篇
英语美文,题目是《Bring Happiness Home》。我很欣赏文中的一句
话:Before entering, please shuck off your trouble;
when returning, bring back your happiness.” 进门前,
请扔掉烦恼;回家时,请带回快乐。与家人在一起,开开心心,还
有什么烦恼不能扔掉呢?
Bring Happiness Home
When I went to a friend’s house as a guest, I found a wooden sign hung on
the door. It reads, “Before entering, please shuck off your trouble; when
returning, bring back your happiness.”
After entering the house, I saw the host and hostess were both
harmonious, two children were generous and polite and warmth and harmony
filled the house. I naturally asked about the wooden sign. The hostess looked
at the the host with a smile, “You tell the story.” The host then gently
looked back at the hostess, “ You say because it was your creativity.”
Finally, the hostess said gently and slowly, “Once when I got home, I
was shocked to see a sleepy gloomy face in the elevator mirror, with the
frowned eyebrows and the worried eyes.So I thought when my children and
husband faced this worried sullen face, what would they feel? If I also faced
such a face, what would I read? Then, I could imagine my children’s silence
and my husband’s indifference at the dinner table...... The next day, I
wrote a wooden sign and nailed it on the door to remind myself. It turned
out that the sign not only reminded myself but the whole family. The
miracle occurred in this way. Moreover, not only our family but also the
guests to our house always become happy ……”
到一个朋友家做客,我看见门上挂着一块小木牌,上面写道: “进门前, 请扔掉烦恼;
回家时,请带回快乐。”
进屋后,我果然看到了男女主人和和气气,两个孩子大方有礼,温馨和谐充盈整个屋子。
我自然问那块起木牌。女主人笑着对男主人说,“你讲吧”。 男主人温柔地望女主人着:
“还是你说吧,这是你的创意。”
最终,女主人轻轻地、慢慢地说道:“有一天回家,在电梯的镜子里 看到一张困倦、
灰暗的脸,一双眉头紧皱、忧心忡忡的眼睛,着实把自己吓了一跳。 于是我想,当孩子
和丈夫面对这么一付愁眉阴沉的脸,会有什么感觉? 假若我面对的也是这样的面孔又会
有什么样的反应呢?我能想象出在餐桌上孩子们的沉默、丈夫的冷漠 …… 第二天,我
写了一块木牌钉在门上提醒自己。 结果,这块木牌不只是提醒了我,也提醒了而全家人,
奇迹就这样发生了。而且,不仅是我们一家人,到我家的客人也觉得很开心 ……。
