A story about a little wave 小海浪的故事


Extracted from "Tuesdays with Morrie", by Mitch Albom, pages 179-180.
摘取于 《Tuesdays with Morrie》,作者Mitch Albom,179-180页。

"I heard a nice story the other day," Morrie says. He closes his eyes for a moment and I wait.
“那天听了一个有趣的故事。”Morrie说着,闭上了眼睛。我耐心地等着。

"Okay. The story is about a little wave, bobbling along in the ocean, having a grand old time. He's enjoying the wind and the fresh air - until he notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore. "
“好。故事是关于一个小海浪,在大海中自由自在地荡漾,过着无限美好的时光。他享受着迎面而来的微风和清新的空气 - 直道他意识到前方的海浪,一个个拍到岸上而粉身碎骨。”


" ' My God, this is terrible,' the wave says. 'Look what's going to happen to me!'
“‘我的天啊,这太可怕了。’海浪说。‘看看将发生在我身上的事!’”

" Then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim, and it says to him, ' Why do you look so sad?'
“另一个海浪漂了过来。看到第一个海浪闷闷不乐,它问:‘你为什么看来那么忧愁?’”

" The first wave says, ' You don't understand! We're all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing! Isn't it terrible?' "
“第一个海浪说:‘你根本不懂!我们都会粉身碎骨!我们海浪都将化为乌有!这不是太可怕了吗?’”

" The second wave says, 'No, you don't understand. You're not a wave, you're part of the ocean.' "
“第二个海浪说:‘不,不懂的是。你不是一个海浪,而是大海的一部分。’”
