第14章 April Showers Bring May Flowers希望

Remember this: overwhelming darkness may endure for a night, but it will never overcome the radiant light of the morning.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Joseph Conrad

From the goldentipped fields of midwest America to the ancient kingdoms of verdant verdant adj.翠绿的, 青翠的, 生疏的, 没有经验的 Palestine Palestine n.巴勒斯坦(西南亚一地区), there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take heed heed n.注意, 留意 .

记住:黑暗可以嚣张一夜,但它永远无法阻挡清晨的万丈光芒!

希望

约瑟夫·康拉德

无论美国中西部金色的田野,还是巴勒斯坦嫩绿色的古老疆土,一个快乐的真理被那些有心之人共同分享着。

In more recent times, this truth has been expressed as: April showers bring May flowers.

This is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness, strength born from weakness and, if one dares to believe, life emerging from death.

Farmers all over the world know the importance and immutability immutability n.不变, 不变性, 永恒性 of the seasons. They know that there is a season to plant and a season to harvest; everything must be done in its own time. Although the rain pours down with the utmost utmost adj.极度的, 最远的 relentlessness, ceasing all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles.

Despite the inconvenience inconvenience n.麻烦, 不方便之处, he knows that the rain provides the nourishment nourishment n.食物, 营养品 his crops need to grow and flourish.

这一真理可以简单概括为:四月的雨带来五月的花。

它预示着光明会从黑暗中诞生;刚强会来源于软弱;如果你敢确信,生命会从死亡中萌发!

所有的农夫都知道季节的重要和恒久。他们知道无论播种也罢还是收获也好,每件事情都需应时而做!虽然大雨倾盆如注,所有的户外劳作都被迫停止,但土地的主人脸上却堆满了微笑。

这会带来很多不方便,但是他心里清楚,雨会带来营养,使他的庄稼繁茂生长。

The torrential rains torrential rain 倾盆大雨 in the month of April, give rise to the glorious glorious adj.光荣的, 显赫的 flowers in the month of May.

But this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable invaluable adj.无价的, 价值无法衡量的 message of hope to all who experience tragedy in life. A dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. A lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. A broken dream can become the foundation of a wonderful future. Everything has its place.

Remember this: overwhelming overwhelming adj.压倒性的, 无法抵抗的 darkness may endure endure v.耐久, 忍耐 for a night, but it will never overcome the radiant radiant adj.发光的, 辐射的, 容光焕发的 light of the morning.

When you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner…

四月里的倾盆大雨,会使五月繁花似锦。

这一古老真理并不仅仅适用于农作,它给了那些正处于人生低谷的人希望:一段友谊失败了但另一段崭新的友谊开始了;原有的工作失去了但更好的工作机会来到了;一个梦想的破灭会成为美好未来的基石。一切事物都有自身的规律。

记住:黑暗可以嚣张一夜,但它永远无法阻挡黎明的到来!

如果你正处于人生的低谷,那么请坚持住,因为欢乐的季节也许马上就会到来……

记得有人说过:绝望的隔壁是希望。而我们有些人常常就会沉沦在绝望的深渊,不能自拔。我们要做的就是走出绝望的境地,叩开希望的门。人生会遇到很多的不确定,苦难和坎坷在所难免,因此我们要不断战胜自己的脆弱一面,昂头再一次出发。如果你退缩,它就会压垮你,如果你奋起,它就会自动让路。
