這是一則外國(guó)寓言故事, 我把它翻譯了過來. 和大家分享:?
很久很久以前,有一個(gè)神秘的小島, 上面住著全部的情緒和感受:開心穿挨,悲傷残揉,博學(xué)等等等等胧后。一天,大家發(fā)現(xiàn)小島要沉沒了冲甘,于是大家都開始建造自己的船绩卤,除了 愛情。
愛情 是唯一一個(gè)守著小島江醇,仍然懷著最后的希望濒憋。
直到小島要完全沉沒的時(shí)候,愛情 才不得不決定離開陶夜×萃裕可是它沒有自己的船,只能尋求其他人的援助条辟。
財(cái)富 開著他的富麗堂皇的大船駛過黔夭,愛情 說:
“財(cái)富,讓我上你的船羽嫡,可以嗎本姥?”
財(cái)富 回答,“我沒辦法啊杭棵,我的船上已經(jīng)裝滿金銀財(cái)寶婚惫,可沒地方給你啊”
虛榮 剛好開著他漂亮精致的船駛過,愛情 沒辦法,對(duì) 虛榮 說先舷,
“虛榮艰管,救救我吧?”
虛榮 回答蒋川,”我可沒法幫你牲芋,愛情,你渾身濕漉漉的捺球,上來肯定會(huì)弄壞我精致的小船的”
悲傷 也在附近缸浦,愛情 對(duì) 悲傷 說:
“悲傷,快讓我上你的船袄凉埂餐济!”
悲傷 回答耘擂,“哦胆剧,愛情,我太難過了醉冤,我需要一個(gè)人呆著“
開心 也在愛情旁邊經(jīng)過秩霍,可是他實(shí)在太開心了,根本沒注意到 愛情 的呼救蚁阳。
“快過來铃绒,愛情,上我的船螺捐!” 一個(gè)蒼老的聲音響起颠悬,終于得救了,愛情 實(shí)在太高興了定血,甚至忘了問這個(gè)老人是誰赔癌。等到了陸地,老人并沒有停留澜沟,便獨(dú)自離開了灾票。
愛情 跑去問 博學(xué),那位老者是誰茫虽,
“那是時(shí)間” 博學(xué)回答, “時(shí)間刊苍?” 愛情 有些疑惑,“為什么時(shí)間會(huì)來救我濒析?”
博學(xué) 露出一個(gè)儒智的微笑正什,緩緩回答,“因?yàn)楹判樱挥?時(shí)間 才能懂得 愛情 是多么的珍貴”

Love and The Time Story
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?”
Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!” “I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!” Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder.
So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who Helped me?”
“It was Time,” Knowledge answered.
“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.”
