破繭的蝴蝶

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.One day,a small opening appeared,he stood and watched the cocoon for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.But it seemed to stop making any progress,it appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could,and it could go no further.

　　一個人揀到一個蝴蝶繭。一天，繭上出現(xiàn)了一個小孔，繭內(nèi)的蝴蝶寶貝努力掙扎著自己的身體通過繭孔。然而，它折騰了幾個小時也沒有進展.繭里的蝴蝶寶貝似乎已經(jīng)使盡了全部力氣，再也鉆不動了。

　　So the man decided to help it.He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.The butterfly then emerged easily.But the butterfly only can crawl around with a swollen body and shriveled wings,it was never able to fly,because it had a swollen body and small,shriveled wings.

　　這個人決定幫助它，他用剪刀把繭的剩余部分剪開，蝴蝶寶貝很輕松地鉆了出來。然而，可憐的蝴蝶卻只能拖著大肚子、夾著小翅膀在地上爬來爬去，永遠不能飛起來，因為，它的身子很臃腫，翅膀卻很小、萎縮著。

　　What the man didn`t understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God`s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved freedom from the cocoon.

　　這個人不知道：上帝的意思就是讓那個大肚子蝴蝶寶貝從那個奇小無比的小口爬出來，那個小窄口在它通過時把它體內(nèi)的營養(yǎng)液從腹部擠壓到翅膀，這樣蝴蝶就可以在破繭而出、獲得自由的時候展翅高飛了。
