Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its fou

4、nd piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away. 從前有個圓圈，它丟失了一小段。它想變得完整，于是它到處尋找它所丟失的那部分。由于不完整，它只能滾的非常慢。在路上，它羨慕過花兒，它與蟲子聊過天，它享受了陽光的照耀。它遇到過很多不同的小段，可是沒有一個適合它。所以它把它們丟在路邊，繼續(xù)尋找。有一天，圓圈找到了可以與它完美結(jié)合的一小段，它非常高興。它現(xiàn)在終于完整了，不缺任何東西了。它把丟失的那段裝到自己身上，然后滾了起來。它現(xiàn)在是個完整的圓圈了，它可以滾的很快，，快到忽視了花兒，快到?jīng)]有時間和蟲子們說話。當它意識到由于它滾的太快，世

5、界變得如此的不同時，它便停了下來，把找到的那段卸下丟在路邊，慢慢地滾走了。 The lesson of the story, I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to hope, to nourish his soul with the dr

6、eam of something better. He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had. 我想這個故事告訴我們，從某種奇怪的意義上說，當我們?nèi)鄙偈裁礀|西時，我們反而是更完整的。一個擁有一切的人在某些方面也是個窮人，他永遠不會知道什么是渴望、什么是期待；永遠不知道用渴求更美好的東西來充實他的靈魂。他永遠不會知道一個愛他人送給他一樣他所夢寐以求的東西時是怎樣的一種感覺。 There is a wh

7、oleness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive

8、, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person. 人生的完整性，在于接受自己的缺陷，勇敢地丟棄不切實際的幻想，并且不覺得這樣做是失敗的；人生的完整性，在于知道自己足夠強大，可以承受人生的苦難，可以在失去一個人時仍然覺得自己是完整的。 ?Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for failing. Life is not a spelling bee, where no matter how many words you’ve g

9、otten right, you’re disqualified if you make one mistake. Life is more like a baseball season, where even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose.
