讀雙語故事，看百味人生。閱讀是一生的功課，無論順境逆境，我們總能在文字里找到共鳴。以下是小編整理的鉛筆的比喻/Comparison Of The Pencil的內(nèi)容，讀一下吧，也許恰好是你喜歡的那一篇。

The pencil maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box. “There are five things you need to know,” he told the pencil, “Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.”

“One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand.”

“Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.”

“Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.”

“Four: The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.”

“And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition is, you must continue to write.”

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.

Now replace the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in faith’s hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you’ll need it to become a stronger person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what’s on the inside.

And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation is, you must continue to do your duties.

Allow this comparison to the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.

【參考譯文】

在把鉛筆放進(jìn)盒子里之前，鉛筆制作者把他拉到一邊。“在我把你送進(jìn)塵世之前，有5件事你要知道，”他告訴鉛筆，“永遠(yuǎn)記住他們，千萬不要忘記，這樣你就可以成為最好的鉛筆?！?/P>

“第一，你只有允許自己被別人抓住才能做很多的大事?！?/P>

“第二，你將一次又一次地被削尖，這會(huì)很痛苦，但是你需要這樣才能成為更好的鉛筆。”

“第三，你要能夠更正自己可能犯的錯(cuò)?！?/P>

“第四，你最重要的部分總是你的內(nèi)在部分?！?/P>

“第五，你所涉足的每個(gè)表面，你都要留下痕跡。不管在什么情況下，你都要繼續(xù)寫?！?/P>

鉛筆懂了，并答應(yīng)要記住，然后心中帶著自己的雄心，他被裝進(jìn)了盒子里。

現(xiàn)在，讓你自己和這支鉛筆換個(gè)位，切記這5件事，千萬不要忘記，這樣你就可以成為一個(gè)最棒的人。

第一，你可以做很多的大事，但是你必須允許自己被信念掌握。你還必須允許別人靠近你，因?yàn)槟銚碛泻芏嗟奶熨x。

第二，因?yàn)槟阋?jīng)歷生活中各種各樣的問題，所以你將如同鉛筆一樣一次又一次被痛苦地削尖，但是你需要這些經(jīng)歷以讓自己更強(qiáng)大。

第三，你要能夠更正自己可能犯的錯(cuò)。

第四，你最重要的部分始終都是你的內(nèi)在部分。

第五，你必須在你走過的每個(gè)表面留下自己的痕跡。不管什么情況下，你都要繼續(xù)履行你的職責(zé)。

把你自己比作鉛筆，從這個(gè)比喻你就會(huì)知道你是一個(gè)很特別的人，只有你才能完成你與生俱來的使命。

絕不要讓自己沮喪，不要認(rèn)為自己的生命不重要，更不要認(rèn)為自己不能改變。

【人生啟迪】的確，只要有信心，相信自己是特別的，我們就能夠做很多的大事，我們就能為這個(gè)世界創(chuàng)造一點(diǎn)什么，我們就能成為最好的那個(gè)人！
