   It was sunday.I never get up early on  Sundays.I sometimes stay in bed until lunch time.Last Sunday I got up very late.I looked out of the window.It was dark outside.‘What a day!’I thought,‘It’s raining again.’Just then,the telephone rang.It was my aunt Lucy.‘I ’ve just arrived by train． ’She said ,‘I ’m coming to see you.’

 ‘But  I’ m  still  having  breakfast.’I said.

‘What are you doing?’

‘I’m having breakfast.’

‘My dear!’She said, ‘Do you always get up so late?’‘It’s  one  o’clock!’

看山是山，看水是水；

看山不是山，看水不是水；  

看山还是山，看水还是水。

帘外雨潺潺，

春意阑珊。

罗衾不耐五更寒。

梦里不知身是客，

一晌贪欢。　

独自莫凭栏，

无限江山。

别时容易见时难。

流水落花春去也，

天上人间！ ......

 南唐·李煜 《浪淘沙》

      ‘It ’s     none of  your business.’  the young man said rudely.‘This is a privite conversation.’

你可以有个理由难过，

同样也可以找个理由快乐。

懂得放弃的人，可以找到自由。

懂得遗忘的人，可以找到幸福。

快乐是一种选择，

是上没有绝对幸福的人，

只有不肯快乐的心。

Where was I  from？Where will I go？

往事知多少.

故国不堪回首月明中. 

雕栏玉砌应犹在,只是朱颜改.

When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

当你老了，头白了，睡思昏沉，
炉火边打盹，请取下这部诗歌，
慢慢读，回想你过去眼神的柔和，
回想它们过去浓重的阴影；

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

多少人爱你年轻欢畅的时候，
爱慕你的美貌，出于假意或者真心
只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂，
爱你已改的容颜痛苦的皱纹

And bending down beside the glowing bars
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

躬身在红光闪耀的炉火旁，
凄然低语，爱为何消逝，
它漫步走上高高山峦， 　
将脸庞隐没在了群星间。
