9、语，修饰“pace”。爱的召唤真诚的爱情永远不是一条平坦大道。爱情就像一朵生长在悬崖边缘的花，想要采撷它，就要有勇气。 -莎士比亚When Love Beckons YouWhen love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in

10、him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

15、你成长，也会给你修枝。爱会上升到枝头，抚爱你在阳光下颤动力的嫩枝，也会下潜至根部，撼动力你紧抓泥土的根基。 但是，如果你在恐惧之中只想寻求爱的平和与快乐，那你就最好掩盖真实的自我，避开爱的考验，进入不分季节的世界，在那里你将欢笑，但并非开怀大笑，你将哭泣，但并非尽情地哭。爱只将自己付出，也只得到自己。爱一无所有，也不会为谁所有，因为爱本身就已自足。 爱除了实现自我别无他求。但是如果你爱而又不得不有所求，那就请期望： 将自己融化并像奔流的溪水一般向夜晚吟唱自己优美的曲调。 明了过多的温柔所带来的苦痛。 被自己对爱的理解所伤害;并情愿快乐地悲伤。 在黎明带着轻快的心醒来并感谢又一个有家的日子； 在

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.【参考译

22、文】将自己融化并像奔流的溪水一般向夜晚吟唱自己优美的曲调。【结构解析】句中的that和 “its”均指“ brook”。快乐积极的快乐 并非单纯的满意或知足 通常不期而至，就像四月里突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然绽放。然后，你就会发觉与快乐结伴而来的究竟是何种智慧。草地更青翠，鸟吟更甜美，朋友的缺点也变得更能让人理解，宽容。快乐就像是一副眼镜，可以矫正你的精神视力。Be Happy!“The days that make us happy make us wise.”-John Masefieldwhen I first read this line by Englands Poet Laur

23、eate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happi

24、ness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.Active happiness-not mere satisfaction or contentment -often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind o

25、f wisdom has accompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable.
