跌倒以后
After falling
Once, I looked after my children at home. He played loading and unloading games in a pile of sand, and I was sitting close to playing mobile phones. Suddenly, he was stumped by a toy shovel. I got up and went to help him, but he climbed up and opened my help, and continued to play if nothing happened. I am a little surprised and return to the original observation. He walked slyly, and fell a few times in the meantime. The corners of his mouth were covered with sand, but every time he climbed up, he took off the dirt on his trouser legs, and then wiped the mud from his mouth with a chubby little hand.
有一次,我在家照看小孩。他在一堆沙中玩装卸游戏,我坐在不远处玩手机。突然,他被一把玩具铲绊倒了。我起身走过去想要扶他,他却自己爬了起来,甩开我伸出的援手,若無其事地继续玩耍。我有些诧异,退回原处观察。他踉踉跄跄地行走,其间又跌倒了几次,嘴角沾满了泥沙,但每次爬起后都有模有样地拍掉裤腿上的泥土,然后用胖乎乎的小手抹去嘴角的泥沙。
When I was running at night, I saw another fall. On a gentle slope, a group of students frolics jogging in front of me. Suddenly, a girl fell to the ground with a bang, and she panicked and snorted. Among the companions, some were amused by her, and some quickly reached out to help, but she did not mean to get up, but hugged her legs and blamed the road for injustice, seems to be excusing herself. As I passed by her, I saw her eyes smug and inferior. I suddenly understood that she was afraid of being laughed at. She fell to the ground and tried to excuse herself, so she was too late to get up. Perhaps this is the price and pain of growth.
有一次夜跑时,我却目睹了另一种跌倒。在一处缓坡上,一群学生嬉闹着在我前面慢跑。突然,一个女孩“啪”的一声摔倒在地,她有些惊慌失措,咧着嘴低声叫痛。同伴中,有的被她这一摔逗乐了,有的赶紧伸手去扶,可她丝毫没有起身的意思,而是抱住双腿小声埋怨道路不平,似乎在为自己开脱。从她身边经过时,我看见她的眼神中隐现怯意和自卑。我恍然明白,她是因为害怕被嘲笑,倒地后顺势想方设法为自己开脱,所以才迟迟顾不上起身。或许,这便是成长的代价与痛苦。
People often say: "Happiness is a very simple thing when you are young. When you grow up, simplicity is a very happy thing." When we were young, we didn t care about the world, we laughed when we wanted to laugh, we cried when we wanted to cry, and kept the most. Simple self; when we grow up, we have more ideas, and there are more things to care about, and troubles, resentments, and helplessness follow.
人们常说:“小时候,幸福是一件很简单的事;长大后,简单是一件很幸福的事。”小时候的我们不谙世事,想笑就笑,想哭就哭,保持着最单纯的自我;长大后的我们想法多了,在意的东西多了,烦恼、怨恨、无奈也接踵而至。
Since we are growing up, knowing how simple is a happy thing, and why it is difficult for ourselves, try to be simpler. When I fell, I naturally climbed up and took the soil. If you made a mistake, you didn t have to find a bunch of excuses. When you was injured, you just cried thoroughly. When you was happy, you laughed as well...
既然成长中的我们,懂得简单是一件幸福的事,又何苦处处难为自己,不妨试着简单一些。跌倒了,就自然地爬起来拍掉泥土;犯错了,不必找出一堆借口;受伤了,哭就哭得彻底;高兴了,笑就笑得畅快……
