美文賞析:艱難，纔是生活的常態
Through the cold winter wasteland a man trudged, leaning into the harsh wind which spitefully tried to force him back. He was covered from head to toe in layers of thick clothing, layers of protection against the harsh environment. On he fought, searching, searching. He was working so hard. This must be the way.
在寒冷的冬季，以爲男子在荒地中的前行舉步維艱，狂風肆虐幾乎要將他吹倒。他從頭到腳包裹着厚厚的衣物，用來抵禦這惡劣的環境。他不遺餘力的尋找着，尋找着，一定有辦法。
In the distance he saw what looked like steam rising out of the ground. It rose a few feet and then was quickly whipped away by the biting wind. He altered his course and turned towards the steam, gaining some blessed relief as he turned his chapped face out of the gale.
遠遠地他看見有蒸汽從地下往上冒，只有短短几英尺。接着狂風拖曳着他往回，他改變了方向超蒸汽那裏出發，感謝上天他開裂的臉蛋不再曝露在狂風之中。
As he got closer, he thought he could make out voices. Their tone was unfamiliar to him - musical, relaxed and warm - their melody enticed him closer. Finally he got close enough to peer through the mist.
他漸漸走近，發現自己可以說話了。對方的聲音聽起來很陌生，但是如同音樂一般讓人感覺到放鬆，溫暖。他們的旋律吸引着他不斷靠近。最後，在迷霧中他靠近了他們。
There before him was a remarkable sight. In the midst of the frozen wasteland, cut into the ground was a large pool. Several people were in the pool, they seemed to be floating easily without any effort. As they saw him approach, a woman called out to him.
在旅人面前呈現出一個奇妙的場景。在刺骨寒冷的溼地中，地面上有這麼大一個池塘。有不少人在其中，毫不費力地在池中飄來飄去。在旅人靠近之時，一位女士叫住了他。
"Come in here. It is lovely and warm. You can just lie back and relax," said the woman.
“進來吧，這裏溫暖舒適。你可以躺下放鬆。”女士說道。
"I can't. There are no steps." The man replied.
“我不能，這裏都沒有臺階。”旅人答道。
"Just jump in. It really is lovely in here. Come on. Theoure's plenty of room for another." Another of the floaters joined in the persuasion.
“只要跳進來就好了，這裏很棒，快點，還有不少位子呢。”池中其他人也附和說道。
"But what if I don't like it, how will I get out? The sides are too high to reach up to."
“但是如果我不喜歡這裏了，怎麼出來？邊緣太高很難出來。”
"Believe me, you won't want to get out. Come on. It is so good in here."
“相信我，你不會想要出來的，快點進來，這裏真的很好。”
But he decided not to jump in. And that was a wise decision.
但他沒有往下跳。而這是個明治的選擇。
There're many things and people in life like this pool. They promise you life can be easy.
生活中有很多人和事像這個水池一樣，他們像你承諾無憂無慮。
But in fact, they are traps that you can't come back from.
但實際上，他們都是能讓你萬劫不復的陷阱。
Life is hard. Stay wise. And fight.
生活是艱難的，請保持睿智，並戰鬥下去。
