英语短文欣赏

小小的蜡烛ATinyCandle

Thecandlesthemselveswerenothing,butasonecandlewasusedtolightanotherinadarkroom,theroomwouldgrowbrighter.

蜡烛本身看似不起眼,但如果点燃两根蜡烛,而非一根,黑暗的房间顿时会变得更加明亮

Thenaseachlightedcandlewasusedtolightothers,thedarkroomwouldbegintoglowwithawonderfulbrightness.Intheend,aseverysinglecandlewaslit,theroomwasbathedintheglorious,shininglightofnotonlyfirebutalsoloveandjoy.Itdoesn’tmatterhowtinyacandleyoumaythinkyourlifeis.Youcanuseittoshinealittlelightandloveinthisworld.Itdoesn’tmatterhowbriefyourcandleflickersareandhowsmallyourflameburnsrightnow.Youcanfeedit,builditandwatchitgrow.Youmaythinkyou’reyourlifeisatinycandlenow,butyoucanturnitintoapowerfulbonfireifyouwouldlike.

接下来,如果用一根点燃的蜡烛点亮其它蜡烛,黑暗的房间便会格外明亮。

最后,当全部蜡烛都被点燃时,整个房间就会被明亮、灿烂的光线所笼罩。

这光线并非全部源于烛焰,还源于爱与欢乐。

即便你觉得自己的人生只是一根纤弱的蜡烛,你也可以用它给世界带来光与爱。

即便现在你的烛焰只能闪烁片刻,即便现在你的烛光是那么微弱,你也可以努力让蜡烛燃烧得更加旺盛。

也许你认为自己的生命好比一根微小的蜡烛,其实,只要你愿意,你就可以将这根微小的蜡烛变成一堆熊熊的篝火。

Lightyourcandletoday.Thenuseittolightallcandlesaroundyou.Shareyourloving,joyfulfirewitheveryoneyouknowandeveryoneyoumeet.Feedyourfirewithgoodnessandwatchitcastoutallthedarknessoftheworld.

赶快点燃自己的那根蜡烛吧！

用它去点亮你身边的所有蜡烛。

与你身边的每一个人分享充满爱与欢乐的烛焰。

让友善使你的烛光更加灿烂,并静观它去驱逐世间的黑暗。
