英語美文正文:
One day, in a heavily crowded place, a young man began shouting.
“People, look at me. I have the most beautiful heart in the world.”
Many people looked at him and were stunned to see his beautiful heart in a perfect shape, without any flaw. It looked quite amazing. Most of the people who saw his heart were mesmerized by the beauty of his heart, and praised him.
However, there came an old man who challenged the young man,“No my son, I have got the most beautiful heart in the world!”
The young man asked him,“Show me your heart, then!”
The old man showed his heart to him. It was very rough, uneven, and had scars all over. In addition, the heart was not in shape; it appeared like bits and pieces joined in various colours. There were some rough edges; some parts were removed, and fitted with other pieces.
The young man started laughing, and said,“My dear old man, are you mad? See, my heart! How beautiful and flawless it is. You cannot find even a bit of imperfection in my heart. See, yours? It is full of scars, wounds, and blemishes. How can you say your heart is beautiful?”
“Dear boy, my heart is just as beautiful as your heart is. Did you see the scars? Each scar represents the love I shared with a person. I share a piece of my heart with others when I share love, and in return I get a piece of heart, which I fix at the place from where I have torn a piece!”said the old man.
The young man was shocked.
The old man continued,“Since the pieces of heart I shared were neither equal nor in the same shape or size, my heart is full of uneven edges and bits and pieces. My heart is not in shape because sometimes I do not get love in return from those to whom I gave it. Your heart that looks fresh and full with no scars indicates that you never shared love with anybody. Isn’t that true?”
The young man stood still and did not speak a word. Tears rolled down his cheeks. He walked to the old man, tore a piece of his heart and gave the piece to the old man.
Many give importance and respect to physical beauty. Yet, real beauty is not physical!

英語美文中文翻譯:
一天,在一個人滿為患的地方,一個年輕人開始大喊大叫起來。
“請大家看著我。我有這個世界上最美的心?!?
很多人目光聚集到他的身上,看到他那完美無缺而分外美麗的心臟,著實(shí)驚呆了??瓷鲜窃谔袅?。大多數(shù)看到他的心的人都被他那美麗的心所迷住了,并且稱贊他。
然而,有一位老人向年輕人發(fā)起了質(zhì)疑:“不!孩子,我才是擁有世界上最美麗的心的人!“
年輕人問他:“那就讓我瞧瞧你的心吧!”
這位老人向他展示了他的心。它非常粗糙,不均勻,充滿了傷疤。此外,心臟并不是原本的形狀,它看上去就像是拼湊起來的狀態(tài),以不同的顏色連接在了一起,還有著那粗糙的外形;有些部分被祛除了,然后用其他的部分修補(bǔ)而成。
年輕人笑了起來,說:“我親愛的老頭子,你瘋了嗎?”看,我的心!它是多么的完美無瑕。你甚至在我心里找不到一點(diǎn)瑕疵。再看你的,充滿了傷疤、傷口和瑕疵。你怎么能說你的心是美麗的呢?“
“親愛的孩子,我的心和你的心一樣美麗。你看到傷疤了嗎?每一個傷痕都代表著我與一個人分享的愛。當(dāng)我分享愛的時候,我就與他分享我心臟的一部分,與此同時,我也收到一部分心來填補(bǔ)我撕掉的地方?!?
那個年輕人感到非常震驚。
老人繼續(xù)說:“由于我分享的心的碎片既不是等量的,形狀和大小也不盡相同,我的心充滿了不均勻的邊緣和碎片。我的心臟并不是原本的形狀是因?yàn)橛袝r候,我并不一定會得到那些我贈送過心的人。你的心看上去是如此的飽滿而鮮艷,沒有傷疤,這表明你從未與任何人分享過愛。這不是真的嗎?”
那個年輕人一動不動地站著,一句話也沒說。淚水從他的面頰上滾落下來。他走到老人跟前,撕下一塊心,把那塊給了老人。
英語美文寓意:許多人重視和尊重身體美。然而,真正的美并從身體上來看的!
