  A smile is a beautiful thing. It’s a symbol of happiness and a force of nature. Yes, a force of nature. Have you ever observed what happens within you when you smile, or better yet, forced yourself to smile when you’re feeling down?
  微笑是一种美好的表情。它是快乐的象征,也是自然的魅力。是的,自然的魅力。你是否曾经注意过微笑的时候自己发生了什么变化,或更理想的是,当你情绪低落时是否强迫过自己微笑?
  Give it a try right now. No matter how you’re feeling or what’s going on in your life, close your eyes and smile. Observe the feeling of warmth that wells up in your belly as you do it. Observe the move in your energy as you turn that frown upside down. If you’re still not convinced, go in front of a mirror and notice how you look when you’re smiling. Once again, observe how you feel within as your facial expression changes. If you’re feeling particularly cheeky, look yourself in the eyes, smile and say, “You’re awesome!”
  現在马上试一下吧。无论你现在感觉怎样或生活中发生了什么, 闭上你的双眼微笑起来。感受一下你微笑时温暖从腹部涌上来的感觉。观察一下你舒展双眉时精神状态的转变。若你还有所犹豫,那么就站到镜子前,注意观察自己微笑时的样子,再一次体会面部表情变化时你身体的感受。若你觉得自己特别厚脸皮,不妨看着眼中的自己,微笑着说:“你真了不起!”
  I believe that a smile is one of the most powerful and most valuable gifts that we, as humans, have. It embodies our ability to create and our ability to express the infinite love that is within us. What’s even more amazing is that we can share this gift with others. Have you smiled today? Keep smiling.
  我觉得,微笑是我们作为人类所拥有的最富有力量、最珍贵的礼物。它代表我们进行创造以及表达我们内心无尽的爱的能力。更不可思议的是,我们还能与他人分享这件礼物。今天你微笑了吗?保持微笑吧。

那时候,我刚买回来一个盆景式鱼缸,在里面养了几条火红的观赏鲤。儿子便提议,再捉一些小虾放到里面养着。于是,我就带着儿子来到村前一条小河边捉虾。  河水清澈透明,不足一米深。站在岸上,就能看到一些可爱的小虾在水里追逐嬉戏。但是,当我卷起裤腿下到水里,用手中的小网捞它们的时候,它们就会迅速地游开。  可能是受了惊吓,那些小虾顿时变得警觉起来。只要一听到我的踏水声,它们就会老远躲开。因此,折腾了半天,才
江苏淮安,旧名山阳,从隋至宋,这儿是楚州的州治所在地。山阳城内有条“金子巷”,此巷的来历,见证了五代时一场惨烈的战争。  后周显德四年、南唐保大十五年、公元957年年底,周世宗柴荣亲率大军进攻南唐。周军所向披靡,连下濠州、泗州、扬州,唯独在楚州碰到了硬骨头——南唐守将、楚州防御使张彦卿拼死抵抗,周军连攻四十日而不可破。周世宗征发壮丁疏浚江淮之间的老鹳河,于是周军数百艘齐云战舰由淮入江,水陆并进,势

他站在街边的梧桐树下给楚江打电话,一片金黄的叶子落在他的发际,他无暇顾及,对着手机嚷嚷:“老楚,我的钱又花光了,麻烦你往我的卡里打点钱,这一次多打点,好吧?我闹亏空呢!”尽管是商量的口吻,但语气却是毋庸置疑的。  差不多有两年多的时间,每次他给老楚打电话,不是要钱就是要物:“老楚,我的手机坏了,麻烦你给我买个新的吧?”“老楚,我最近手头有点紧,支援点吧!”“老楚,我想要个笔记本电脑,同学们都有,就
