1God’scoffee
Agroupofalumni([ə'lʌmnaɪ]校友),highlyestablished([is'tæbliʃt]已建立的;已确立的)intheircareers[kə'riə]职业;经历,gottogethertovisittheirolduniversityprofessor.Conversationsoonturnedintocomplaintsaboutstressinworkandlife.
Offeringhisguestscoffee,theprofessorwenttothekitchenandreturnedwithalargepotofcoffeeandanassortment[ə'sɔ:
tmənt]分类ofcups-porcelain(['pɔ:
slin]瓷器;瓷制的、精美的),plastic,glass,crystal(['kristl]水晶),someplain(简朴的;朴素的)looking,someexpensive,someexquisite(['ekskwizit]精美的;精致的)-tellingthemtohelpthemselvestothecoffee.Whenallthestudentshadacupofcoffeeinhand,theprofessorsaid:
“Ifyounoticed,allthenicelookingexpensivecupsweretakenup,leavingbehindtheplainandcheapones.Whileitisnormal(正常的,正规的,标准的)foryoutowantonlythebestforyourselves,thatisthesource(根源;来源)ofyourproblemsandstress.Beassured(确定的;得到保证的)thatthecupitselfaddsnoqualitytothecoffee.Inmostcasesitisjustmoreexpensiveandinsomecasesevenhideswhatwedrink.Whatallofyoureallywantedwascoffee,notthecup,butyouconsciously(['kɔnʃəsli]有意识地;自觉地)wentforthebestcups.Andthenyoubeganeyeingeachother’scups.
Nowconsiderthis:
lifeisthecoffee;thejobs,moneyandposition(地位;身份)insocietyarethecups.Theyarejusttoolstoholdandcontain(包含;容纳)life,andthetypeofcupwehavedoesnotdefine(解释,给...下定义),norchangethequalityoflifewelive.(生活就是咖啡;而工作、金钱、社会地位只是装咖啡的杯子。
它们不过是承载生活的工具。
我们拥有什么样的杯子并不能定义,或是改变我们生活本身的品质。
)
Sometimes,byconcentratingonlyonthecup,wefailtoenjoythecoffeeGodhasprovidedus.”
Godbrewsthecoffee,notthecups.Enjoyyourcoffee!
