英語美文：

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,“Richness, can you take me with you?”

Richness answered,“No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel.“Vanity, please help me!”

“I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat.”Vanity answered.

Sadness also passed close by, so Love asked,“Sadness, let me go with you.”

“Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice,“Come, Love, I will take you.”It was an elder.

So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way. Realizing how much she owed to the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder,“Who helped me?”

“It was Time,”Knowledge answered.

“Time?”asked Love.“But why did Time help me?”

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered,“Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.”

英語美文翻譯：

很久以前，有一個(gè)島住著所有的情感：幸福，悲傷，知識，還有其他的，還包括愛。一天，所有的情感得知小島要被淹沒，他們造好了船然后準(zhǔn)備離開，除了愛。

愛是唯一留下來的。它想堅(jiān)持到最后一刻。當(dāng)小島幾乎被淹沒的時(shí)候，愛決定尋求幫助。?

富裕乘著一艘大船經(jīng)過愛。愛說：“富裕，你能帶我一起走嗎？”?

富?；卮鹫f：“不，我不能。我的船上有很多金銀。這里沒有你的位置?！?

愛決定問裝在一個(gè)美麗的容器里面的虛榮?！疤摌s，請幫幫我！”?

“我?guī)筒涣四?，愛，你全身濕透了，可能會弄壞我的船?！疤摌s回答。?

悲傷也過去了，然后愛問：“悲傷，讓我和你一起去吧?！?

“噢…愛，我很難過，我需要一個(gè)人安靜一會！“?

幸福也從愛身邊過去，但她太高興了，以至于連愛呼喚她的時(shí)候都沒有聽見。?

突然，有一個(gè)聲音，“來吧，愛，我?guī)阕?。”原來是一位長者。?

愛是如此的幸福和欣喜，甚至忘了問長者它們要去哪里。當(dāng)他們到達(dá)陸地的時(shí)候，老人就放下愛獨(dú)自前行了。愛意識到它欠長者很大的情，便問另一位長者——知識：“是誰幫助了我？”?

“是時(shí)間?！敝R回答道。?

“時(shí)間？”愛問，“但為什么時(shí)間會幫助我呢？”?

知識以深沉的智慧微笑著回答：“因?yàn)橹挥袝r(shí)間才能理解愛的價(jià)值?！?

本期英語美文的寓意：唯有愛，才在時(shí)間面前難能可貴，所謂的富裕、虛榮、快樂，在時(shí)間看來，都只不過是過眼云煙罷了。
