江丽，王晓丽，张维维，JiangLi，WangXiaoli，ZhangWeiwei-《读与写（教育教学刊）》-2007年9期张正东，《外语教育学》，重庆：重庆出版社，1987《生命列车》TheTrainOfLife1.不久以前，我读了一本书。书中把人生比作一次旅行。2.人生一世，就好比是一次搭车旅行，要经历无数次上车、下车;时常有事故发生;有时是意外惊喜，有时却是刻骨铭心的悲伤……3.降生人世，我们就坐上了生命列车。我们以为我们最先见到的那两个人------1.Notlongago,Ireadabook,inwhichaman’slifewascomparedtoajourney.2.Thelifeofamanisjustlikeahitchhiking，duringwhichmanytimeswegoupanddown.Nowandthenthingswillhappenaccidently,someofwhicharetobeunexpectedexcitement，whilesomeheart-breakingsorrows.3.Whenfirstembracedtheworld，wearealreadyonthetrainoflife.Wetakeitforgrantedthatthefirsttwopersons,ourparents,whomweareencounteredwith,will8 我们的父母，会在人生旅途中一直陪伴着我们。1.很遗憾，事实并非如此。他们会在某个车站下车，留下我们，孤独无助。他们的爱、他们的情、他们不可替代的陪伴，再也无从寻找。2.尽管如此，还会有其他人上车。他们当中的一些人将对我们有着特殊的意义。3.他们之中有我们的兄弟姐妹,有我们的亲朋好友。我们还将会体验千古不朽的爱情故事。4.坐同一班车的人当中，有的轻松旅行。5.有的却带着深深的悲哀……还有的,在列车上四处奔忙，随时准备帮助有需要的人…… 6.很多人下车后，其他旅客对他们的回忆历久弥新……但是，也有一些人，当他们离开座位时，却没有人察觉。7.有时候，对你来说情深义重的旅伴却坐到了另一节车厢。你只得远离他，继续你的旅程。8.accompanyusalltheway.1.Sadly，thingsdonotgoonaswethought.Ourparentswillgetoffthetrainatacertainstation，leavingus,bereftandhelpless.Theirloveandemotiontousandtheirirreplaceablecompanycanbefoundinnowhere.2.However，therewillbesomebodyelsewhowillgetonthetrain.Someofthemwillhavespecialmeaningtous.3.Someofthemmaybeoursiblings,relativesandfriends,andwewillalsoexpereincetheimperishablelove.4.Someofourtravellingcompanionsarequitelight-heartedontheway.5.Whilesomemaybearimmensesorrow.Stillsome,backandforth,arereadytoholdouttheirhandsforotherswhoneedhelp.6.Somepeoplealightoffthetrain,yettheyarestillkeptinthemindoftheotherpassengersforlong;some,totheopposite,leavetheirseatswithoutbeingnoticed.7.Sometimes,theone,whoisdeartoyourheart,hashuddledintoanothercarriage.Nothingbutoneyoucandoisjusttokeepongoing,farawayfromhim.8.Ofcourse,duringthejourney,youmaystaggertoanothercarriagetolookforhim.8 当然，在旅途中，你也可以摇摇晃晃地穿过自己的车厢，去别的车厢找他……1.可惜，你再也无法坐在他身旁，因为这个位置已经让别人给占了…...2.没关系。旅途充满挑战、梦想、希望、离别……就是不能回头。因此，尽量使旅途愉快吧！3.善待旅途上遇见的所有旅客，找出人们身上的闪光点。4.永远记住，在某一段旅程中，有人会犹豫彷徨，因为我们自己也会犹豫彷徨。5.我们要理解他人，因为我们需要他人的理解。6.生命之谜就是：我们在什么地方下车？坐在身旁的伴侣在什么地方下车？我们的朋友在什么地方下车？我们无从知晓……7.我时常这样想：到我该下车的时候，我会留恋吗？我想我还是会的。和我的朋友分离，我会痛苦。让我的孩子孤独地前行，我会悲伤。1.It’sapitythatyouwillneverseatyourselfbesidehimbecausetheseathasbeenengagedbyothers.2.Nevermind.Thejourneyisfullofchallenges,dreams,hopesanddepartures---butonlyonethingisthatyoucan’tturnback.So,haveagoodjourneywithheartandsoul.3.Showyourgood-willtoallthepassengersyouareencounteredwith,andfindthemeritsoftheirs.4.Remeberthatsomeonemayoscillatejustaswedointhejourney.5.Weshouldunderstandothersjustasweneedothers’understanding.6.Theenigmaoflifeis：Whereshallwegetoffthetrainoflife?Andhowaboutthecompanionsbesideus?Andourfriends?Wedon’tknow.7.SometimesIthink：Whenmytimecomestogetoffthetrain，shallImissit？IthinkIwill.ItisasufferingwhenIpartwithmyfriends.Iwillbesorryforleavingmykidsgoingalone.Ifirmlyholdthatwhenwegettotheterminal，wewillhaveanotherreunion.8.Whenmykidsgetonthetrainoflife,theyhaveonlylittleluggageintheirtravellingbags.However,ifIcanleavethebeautifulmemoryinthem,Iwillbehappy.8 我执著地希望在我们大家都要到达的那个终点站，我们还会相聚……1.我的孩子们上车时没有什么行李，如果我能在他们的行囊中留下美好的回忆，我会感到幸福。2.我下车后，和我同行的旅客都还能记得我，想念我，我将感到快慰。3.献给你,我生命列车上的同行者,祝您旅途愉快!1.Aftergettingoffthetrainoflife,Iwillbecontentifmyfellowpassengerswillremembermeandmissme.2.Toyou,thecompanionsonmytrainoflife.Mayyouhaveagoodjourney!8
