ever since the dawning of the history of mankind, there have been myriads of diversifed inventions, discoveries, and even explorations of the mysteries of the universe. in fact, the human beings are so intelligent that we have solved almost all kinds of problems we have confronted with .

however, nobody has ever made out what the word “love” really connotes, not even the most famous people such as great politicians, saints and philosophers can clarify the meaning of “love”, neither can they deal with the various affairs concerning love. love is like a huge boundless *** that shrouds us all in. we can neither break away from it nor escape from it.

like it or not, we are always entangled in it. it is an invisible *** without any form, that shrouds in different people from different angels; it is a merciless *** that upsets us or even tortures us to death. it is also a supreme *** which almost no human can surpass.

even if they are heroes, emperors, wise men or saints, they can do nothing but show their helplessness in its face. those who can breathe through the holes of the *** should be regarded beyond ***monness and vulgarity. love can bring us temporary ***fort and happiness, but mostly they bring about annoyance and sufferings.

maybe this is the reason why many people have seen through the illusions of the mortal world. however it is not so easy to break away from this boundless, ever-existing and indifferent *** of love.

love is varied and changeable, but roughly it can be divided into three categories: family love, fraternal love and amatory love. not like monkey king who jumped out of the rocks, we were all born after mother's pregnancy of about nine months, hence we have countless relatives without any choice:

parents, grand-parents, and grand-parents-in-law, uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters, etc. and once looking at the genealogical tree, we'll see no end. family love is what everyone longs for, but the warmth and support from our beloved ones are what everyone yearns for the most.

but how many of us are determined to contribute to our beloved one? and how many don't expect repayment and relaxed. conscience even if they have the desire and preparation to contribute to their beloved.

the distance between relatives is different and so are their expectations. but since it's very difficult to know how much we should expect, a lot of worries and distresses emerge.

parents always expect their children to show their filial obedience, or at least pay them frequent visits after they have got married. if the children fail to do this, they feel hurt and upset, and they'll even ***plain about their children, because they just can't understand why their children don't care about them after what they have done for the children for so many years to bring them up. nevertheless, one's experience determines his ideology.

young children are naturally attached to their parents, but when they grow up, specially when they have made their own friends, and got married, what they need most is independence and freedom, and parents sometimes might be***e their burden. once there is generation gap, it be***es more difficult to ***municate and this keeps them away from their parents. objectively speaking, they need more independence in order to achieve success.

in the present society, what the children want to have most is the economic support from their parents, not their moral support or guidance. they would ***plain if your economic support is not up to their expectations. the love from uncles and aunties would naturally dwindle after they have had their own children.

only the love from grand-parents and grand parents-in-law is pure and demands no repayment, and they are also too old to wait for any repayment. as for the distant relatives, their love depends on their needs, just as the old saying goes “the poor have no friends even if they live in downtown while the rich have distant relatives even if they live in deep mountains”. granny liu, a distant kinsfolk, in a dream of the red mansions , claims kinship with the wealthy jia family, thinking that she may benefit from it in some ways.

liu might have run away without any traces if the jia family had been a poor one. another saying goes “close neighbors are better than distant relatives.” the most difficult is to manage the relatives when doing business together, just as what the tv series program liu laogen discloses.

it is all right to stay poor together, but as soon as the business grows prosperous, the group will be***e estranged and even dissolve because of the unfair distribution. family love is like a maze which we shouldn't go too far into it, otherwise, we'll surely get lost. love is a bilateral matter and unilateral love can only lead you to nowhere in spite of your good intentions.

family love is, sometimes, like an arranged marriage, leaving no choices to you. due to the different experiences and tastes, staying together temporarily can be entertaining, while living together for a long time can only be boring due to the lack of ***mon interest and understanding. how can we ***municate with each other without understanding?

parents have the duty to support the children who are not yet economically independent, and children have the responsibility to provide for the elderly parents who are lack of economic abilities to support themselves. except these two kinds of duties which we must fulfill, other kinds of love be***e conventional formalities such as paying visit to the sick or the dead and giving presents to the newly-born etc..

no love among relatives has be***e a normal phenomenon which needn't to be fussed about. what's worse is when love is contaminated by money. sooner or later we will get hurt.

the sooner we get out of this *** of love, the more we can preserve beautiful memories.

we are not living in vacuum, and the society is formed of various kinds of people. as long as we want to live, study, or work, we have to contact, ***municate and cooperate with others. those who enjoy ***mon interests, mutual understanding, ***mon undertakings and ***mon benefits be***e friends.

some friends are called fair-weather friends, because they are together just for entertaining themselves by eating, drinking, and gossiping. once there's nothing to eat and drink, their friendship is finished. some are spiritual friends who share ***mon ambitions, pursuits and education.

“they enjoy talking and laughing with the great talents and never make friends with the good-for-nothings”. the best examples would be yu boya and zhong ziqi of the ancient times who are famous not only for their lofty music but mainly for their lofty characters and mutual understanding and appreciation. they cared very little about material wealth, so their friendship is known as “gentlemen's friendship as pure as water”.

the third type of friendship belong to those who show their utter devotion to each other. they are ready not only to share weal and woe but also to die for each other, like the three brothers liu, guan and zhang in the novel romance of the three kingdoms. .

we all wish to have this kind of friendship, but it's of great difficulty for the ordinary people to be as devoted as they were.

fraternal love or friendship is wide-ranged and flexible. generally speaking, everyone is our friend, just as chairman mao says “our friends are all over the world”. but transcend age, ***, nationality, state and economic conditions.

to them the most important is ***mon benefit, ***mon interest and understanding. friendship is formed during the course of studying, working and fighting. the battle ***panions who have survived many hazards usually enjoy long-lasting friendship.

however, fraternal love is not stable. being away for too a long time, losing all ***mon benefits, friends will be***e estranged. once their interest has changed, they no longer understand each other, and even this would harm friendship.

at all times and in all countries, many close friends and battle ***panions who once worked together and fought together became enemies in the end. quiet a few of the emperors in ancient china even killed those who had helped them found their dynasties. the ****ing heavenly kingdom would not have failed if it hadn't been for the contending and massacring among the those who first rose in rebellion at the beginning of the uprising.

what else we need to pay attention to is that some friends, after being away from each other for too long a time, have lost so much of their original characters that when meeting again, you will feel that you are still the same as you were, while they are no longer themselves. they may have the same feeling about you, so sometimes it's better not to meet each other again. as the chinese proverb goes “friendship can not last for three years and flowers can not stay in blossom for three months”.

it's not so easy to maintain real friendship which needs mutual understanding, tolerance and sacrifice. any kinds of harsh treatment will damage friendship.

amatory love has been a mystery for ages. there's neither a criterion to judge nor a ***mon rule to follow. nobody can tell the exact reasons why love emerges.

it is not always because of beauty (the ugly doorkeeper quasimodo in the hunchback of notre dame is loved by the beautiful gypsy girl e**eralda), nor kindness (hitler also has his mistress), nor wisdom ( even the blockhead may sometimes marry a beautiful girl), nor strength (some love starts from sympathy). true love is like getting an electric shock, shaking our soul. it is a sweet dream, a kind of intoxication, indulgence, and endless passion.

true love doesn't need a long time to grow up, to make clear the family tree of the other, neither does it needs the time to look ahead and behind again and again. love is not marriage, which usually starts from love, but doesn't always depend on love to maintain. long-lasting marriage can eventually turn into a kind of family love, a kind of ***panionship which preserves the ***panion but loses the passion.

love is often an wink of the eye, or a **ile that hints mutual understanding. in spite of the great distance between them, people may fall in love incidentally. hence the saying “a distant marriage is tied up with a mysterious thread”.

love needs passion, and it can stand bumps and stumbles, ups and downs, ***plaints and blames. when it turns into a pool of water, especially dead water, without any billows or waves, it's time for it to die.

delicacies are tasty, but eating everyday can still make one lose appetite. happiness is what everyone longs for, but too much happiness can spoil people who may not care about the happiness they already have. it's universal to live in happiness without knowing it.

the same is true with love. very few people can love the same person passionately all their lives. all love stories ***e to an end no matter how beautiful they are, which also demonstrate the changeability of love.

what one has been chasing wildly may turn into something one wants to get rid of desperately in the end. besides, love is usually blind, especially those who fall in love at the first sight. at the very beginning, both try to demonstrate their beautiful side and cover up their weakness.

fooled by the mysterious color of love, one often mistakes the weaknesses as merits. however, as time passes by, frequent contacts make one bored, and even merits be***e defects, and then the end of love is ***ing. what's more, there are the capricious men and women who never take love seriously, leaving the devoted ones suffering alone.

the saying that the devoted is always abandoned by the heartless has almost be***e the truth of love affairs. what we can't neglect is that love may turn into hatred, and lovers may also be***e enemies. the best proof is the numerous divorces.

even though true love is hard to find nowadays, we still can see some true and infatuated boys and girls who readily give up their families, their parents, their studies, their careers and even their lives for love. they love so passionately, crazily and wildly that they hate anyone who is against their love, and may even harm or kill him if he insists on his objection.

love has magical power that can exploit people's potential abilities, bring people's positive factors into full play, and provide people with the courage to face trials and hardships, to go through life and death, and even to risk universal condemnation. even in the ancient feudal society, some people were courageous enough to carry on clandestine love affairs. the examples in point were the courageous ones who dared to love the concubines of the emperors or the children of their foes.

love also has miraculous power which can startle the universe and move the gods by attracting the heavenly celestials ***ing down to earth ( the love story of the cowboy and the weaving girl ), and by turning ghosts into human ( strange tales of liao-zhai ). love can transcend age and generation (dr. sun yat-sen and madam song qingling; luxun and xu guangping).

love can show contempt for all conventions and prejudices; love can heal wounds and cure diseases, and love can readjust people's state of mind. of course, the result would be the opposite once it hurts.

great men yearn for true love even more than ordinary people. since the ancient times, so many heroes couldn't help falling into the trap of love that the ***-trap has been regarded as one of the 36 stratagems in military tactics. fuchai, the king of the wu state, couldn't be spared of this trap, and generals dongzhuo and lubu fell deeply into it while xiangyu, the king of the western chu state , bid farewell to his beloved concubine in tears.

people may have to pay very high price, even their illustrious name for the love they long for even though it may last for only a very short time. no***heless no one can tear himself away from love. people often say that their earthly affinity is not yet finished, but in fact it is the love affinity that is the most difficult to finish.

love is shapeless and priceless. we can blame nobody when captured by it. love can not be forced, nor can it be pretended.

sympathy is not love, neither is gratitude. love must be generated from the heart, and expressed in actions. it can not be called love without passions and a deep longing from the bottom of the heart.

there's no impassable gulf between family love and fraternal love. some family love may turn into friendship. at the same time, natural barriers doesn't exist either between fraternal love and amatory love.

some friendship may develop into amatory love. the same is true with amatory love which may change into family love after a long time of mutual grinding and polishing.the closer the relationship, and the higher the expectations are, the more difficult it is to get along with each other.

family love, fraternal love and amatory love are three main human feelings. if handled well, they can bring us extreme happiness, while handled improperly, will bring us great sufferings.

the present society is a world of dazzling money and dwindling human feeling contacts. most people hold a snobbish attitude. they only make friends with people of wealth and of high social status.

just as zhen shiyen said in his expounding of the song “all good things must end” in a dream of the red mansions “while men with gold and silver by the chest, turn beggars scorned by all and dispossessed”. frankly speaking, however, if we regard money the first thing in whichever one of the three kinds of loves, it will depreciate and even be***e worthless.

love can not pretend, nor can it tolerate too much selfish motives. it is reported that an old man in jiangsu province left his million yuan heritage to his young housekeeper instead of his own children, because his own children didn't take care of him while the young housekeeper ac***panied him through his last lonely and helpless years.

love is easily perceivable and perceptible. flattery words may be cheatable, but true love and false feelings can easily be distinguished. if the people you love only know how to spend your money, you should be careful of them.

everyone can help you spend your money if you give them the chance. never turn your love into the slave of money.

love should be selfless, and feelings should be sincere. we shouldn't judge our feelings according to the distance of the relationship. everyone treasures love and nobody can fool himself or the others.

a chinese saying goes: real heroes yearn even more for true love, and great men cherish tender love for their children.

we are the saint on earth, and should treasure our love, but we should know how much is good and where to stop. since there's no ever-lasting banquet, nor is there an endless love story, we should take the gains and losses of love with perfect ***posure. there's fragrant grass in every corner of the earth, and you can always find your love in this world.

中文人類幾千年，有過許多的發明創造，有過許多的新奇發現，現在又在探索宇宙的奧秘，但始終搞不懂的就是一個“情”字。包括那些中外的名人、偉人、圣人，一切先哲們，都說不清“情為何物”，都處理不好與情相關的種種事務。情就好比一張無邊無際的網、如影隨形的網，走到**都被它罩著。

掙又掙不脫，躲又躲不了，歡喜也罷，厭煩也罷，總得被糾纏。這是一張看不見的網。沒有固定的輪廓。它會從不同的角度以不同的方式把不同的人網起來。這是又一張無情的網，不僅會讓你不開心，還會把人踩死。

這是另一張最高的網，幾乎無人能超越。能在這張網上開出一個小天窗，那已經是超凡脫俗了。無論是什么英雄或皇帝，無論是什么圣人或圣人，他們在愛情中都是無助和無助的。

愛情可以給人短期的安慰和幸福，但它卻給人帶來更多的煩惱和苦惱。這也是許多人想擺脫并看透凡人世界的主要**。但這種無邊無際、無時無地、無責無義的網，豈是輕易甩得開的。

情有千種萬種，也可千變萬化，但歸納起來無非有三，即親情、友情、愛情。

我們不是孫悟空。我們不能跳出石頭。我們將在母親十月懷孕后被動地出生。于是我們無從選擇地有了眾多的親戚：

父母、祖父母、祖父母、五舅、六舅、七姨、八姨、兄弟姐妹，包括堂兄弟姐妹，不計其數。如果續上家譜，宗親之間更無盡無休了。

家庭愛情是人們所渴望的，但更渴望從家庭愛情中得到溫暖和支持。有多少是立志為親情奉獻的呢？即使有奉獻的向往和境界，又有多少人在奉獻之后不求回報和心理平衡？

親戚之間的距離不一樣，期望也大不相同。但這個度到底是多少，很難把握，一切的煩惱和苦痛也由此而生。

父母總是希望孩子聽話孝順，至少要經常回家。如果不能呢？那就會傷心、難過，甚至抱怨。

父母潛意識里總認為，我把你們供養大，沒有功勞、也有苦勞，怎么能不在意我呢？但存在決定意識。孩子們小的時候固然特別依戀也依賴父母，但長大以后，特別是有了朋友、成了家，更多需要的是獨立和寬松，父母有時確實成為負擔。

如果有代溝，溝通就很困難，家長也會比較回避?？陀^地說，要想成長為棟梁，需要更多的自主發展。在當今社會，孩子們更希望的到父母的經濟幫助，而不是精神上和生活上的指導。

經濟慷慨不達標，也會抱怨。至于姑姑、叔叔、舅舅、姨娘，在有了自己的孩子后，這親情自然會淡薄的。只有祖父母和祖父母對下一代的愛是純潔的，沒有回報的。

他們的年齡也等不到回報。說到遠親，那就看需要。就如俗語所說：

窮在鬧市無人問，富在深山有遠親。《紅樓夢》里的劉姥姥，就是個八桿子打不著的遠親，看到賈府有油水，就來攀親。如果窮呢？

那就不知劉姥姥會在哪了。遠親不如近鄰。如果是職業，和親戚一起管理是最困難的。

電視劇《劉老根》揭示得很深刻。窮還好辦，發達了一定會因為分配不均而疏遠、甚至[你閱讀的*來自:范文先生fanwen.

chazidian]散伙。家庭是一個迷宮，不要進入太深，否則你找不到出門的門。感情不是一廂情愿的。即使本意是好的，出發點也是好的。因為很難采取適當的措施，我們仍將踏上不歸路。

事實上，親情有時就像包辦婚姻。你別無選擇。大家由于經歷和生活品味不一樣，短暫相聚，還能熱熱鬧鬧，長期相處可能會沒共同情趣、沒有共同語言。語言不通怎么交流？

除了父母對經濟尚未獨立的子女有撫養義務，子女對年老又經濟乏力的父母有贍養義務，必須履行外，有些親情，已變成生老病死的一種敷衍。是親戚而無親情的許多現象，都很正常，不必大驚小怪。如果親情里沾上了銅臭，那就更不值得留戀了，裂痕只是早晚。

邁步抽身早，還可留存一點美好的回憶。

人不是生活在真空里。人們想要生活、學習、工作和工作。人類是個群體。

你總是要和一些人接觸，交流和合作。其中，那些會說話，擁有共同興趣，共同語言，共同事業和興趣的人成為朋友。

友情中，有些僅止于吃吃喝喝，東家長，西家短，干不了什么正事，稱為酒肉朋友。有一天沒得吃，沒得喝，也就各奔東西了。有的屬于精神型，彼此有些共同理想、追求，有一定的文化底蘊，所謂“談笑有鴻儒，往來無白丁”，又如古代的俞伯牙、鐘子期，高山流水覓知音。

他們對金錢相對要看淡些，因此被譽為“君子之交淡如水”。也有些屬于生死之交，彼此肝膽相照、榮辱與共，遇到危難，可以兩肋插刀，象《三國演義》中的劉、關、張，誓同生死。人們都希望得到這樣的友誼，但實踐起來更困難。

友情是一個面積寬，伸縮性大的領域。泛談，都可稱朋友，我們的朋友遍天下。細分，真正成為知已的廖廖無幾。

朋友不分年齡（有忘年之交），朋友不分性別（有異性朋友），朋友不分種族、不分國家、有時也不分窮富。最重要的是要有共同的興趣、興趣和語言。友情往往是在學業中、事業中、戰斗中形成。

那些經歷過九次死亡的同志有著深厚而長久的關系。

友情的可變性很大。分別得太久，共同的利害關系沒有了，就會日久情疏。因為興趣的改變，沒有共同的語言，甚至不同的意見都會破壞友誼。

古今中外，許多創業的盟友、戰友，最后演化為敵人。中國許多開國皇帝（朱元璋等）都殺害了功臣。太平天國如果不是幾個共同起事的王者相互爭斗殘殺，也許不至于半途而廢。

我們不得不注意到，一些失散已久的朋友會把原來的模樣磨掉。再見面的時候，你會感到你還是你，他已不再是他了。對方也許會有同樣的感覺，以致彼此感到見不如不見。

人無千日好，花無百日紅。保持深厚的友誼是不容易的，這需要相互理解、寬容和犧牲。任何對彼此的苛求都會破壞友誼。

愛情是個千古之謎。愛情沒有統一的標準和習慣法。為什么會產生愛，誰也說不清。

并不一定就是美麗（《巴黎圣母院》中丑陋的看門人也有人愛），并不一定就是善良（希特勒也有**），并不一定就是智慧（傻人有傻命，賴漢娶花枝），并不一定就是強大（有些愛情始于同情）。真愛給人觸電的感覺。它是一種心靈的震撼，一種向往，一種陶醉，一種輕松快樂，一種無盡的激情。

真愛并不一定需要日久生情，并不一定需要查清祖宗三代，甚至來不及瞻前顧后。愛情并不等同于婚姻。雖然婚姻常常源于愛情，但并不總是由愛情維系。

婚姻由于曠日持久，到后來常常會轉化為一種親情，一種伙伴關系，雖然相知相伴，卻丟失了激情。

愛往往是一個眼神，一個微笑在心里。一見鐘情是愛情的多發現象。遠在天南地北，竟可以因一個偶然而相互期許，所以，才有千里姻緣一線牽的說法。

愛情是需要激情的。因而她不怕磕磕碰碰，不怕起起落落，不怕一時的抱怨和責難。如果真的變成了一潭清水，甚至是一潭死水，沒有浪，沒有浪，這種愛就應該消亡。

即便是山珍海味，人們也會吃膩。太多的美麗會寵壞別人而不是珍惜他們。生在福中不知福，是很普遍的。

能夠激情永遠的人，始終是少數。所以無論多么美好的愛情故事，都會講完。這些都注定了愛情的多變性。

曾經狂熱追求的可能是后來試圖擺脫的。而且，許多一見鐘情是盲目的。初起，各自都把最好的方面展示出來，而去掩飾自己的不足。

除了愛情的神秘性，經常能看到眼睛，缺點也會被優點所包容。經過長時間和更多的接觸，我已經厭倦了。優點也被認為是缺點。那就快結束了。更有一些水性楊花、朝三暮四的男男**，本就把愛情當游戲，認真的一方就吃虧了。

多情總被無情棄，是愛情風月場上的真理。最不可疏忽的是，愛可以轉變為恨，愛情可轉化為敵情。許多離婚案都是有力的證明。

真正純潔的男女，雖然不多，但他們真的很愿意。為了愛（也許只是暫時的），他們可以離開家人，背叛父母，放棄學業，放棄事業，甚至為愛而死。那真是，誰反對跟誰急。

也有人愛得癡迷，愛得瘋狂，愛得不理智，甚至傷人殺人。

愛情是有一定魔力的。她可以召喚人們的潛能，挖掘人們的力量，調動人們的積極性，讓人們在特定的時刻，不怕風雨，不怕艱難，不怕生死，敢冒天下之大不韙。即便在古老的封建社會，人們仍在**，正所謂色膽包天。

皇帝的妃子也有人敢惹，仇人的子女也一樣敢追求。愛情不僅有魔力，還有魔力。它可以感動天地，召喚鬼神，把許多看似不可能的極端拉到一起。愛可以讓天仙下凡（牛郎織女），愛可以讓鬼狐成精（聊齋），愛可以跨越年齡和輩份（孫中山和宋慶齡，魯迅和許廣平），愛可以超越世俗和成見。

愛可以**、**和調解人們的心理。當然，被愛傷害會適得其反。

越是英雄越縱情，英雄難過美人關。自古以來許多英雄豪杰，都因為把握不了自己的方寸而墮入情網，甚至落入溫柔陷阱，從而使美人計成為36計中的一計。吳王夫差，未曾幸免。

董卓、呂布深陷其中。西楚霸王也揮淚別姬。人們對愛的追求有時只是一世的，付出的可能是幾萬，甚至是一生的智慧。

但情又有誰能割舍得了呢？

人們常說，塵緣未了。其實，最難打破的是愛情！

情無形，也無價。做了俘虜，也怨不得誰。但愛不能強求，任何表面都不能掩蓋。

同情不是愛，感恩也不是愛。愛情一定要發乎心，成于行。沒有心，沒有心，沒有愛。

家庭和友誼之間沒有不可逾越的鴻溝。有些親情可以演繹為友情。友情與愛情也沒有天然屏障，個別的友情也會發展為愛情。同樣，戀愛之后，一部分會轉化為家庭愛情。

如果人們彼此過于親近，期望值增加，就會增加相處的難度。所以無論親情、友情、愛情，都是難度比較大的人情。相處得好，會有極大的歡欣。

分寸把握不好，會帶來很大痛苦。能夠給你傷害的主要是這三種情感。

目前的社會，金錢耀眼，人情淡薄。人們相交，常常長出一雙勢力眼?？垂傥?、看金錢。

正如《紅樓夢》中“好了歌”的注釋所說“金滿箱，銀滿箱，轉眼乞丐人皆謗?！钡覀兛梢蕴寡孕?，這三種人情中，無論哪一種把金錢放在首位，都會使情感貶值，甚至會分文不值。

愛情不能摻假。愛不能包含太多自私的動機。我記得電視上報道過江蘇一位老人。在他死后，他把數百萬的財產給了他的保姆，而不是他的女兒。因為他的女兒不在乎他，而那個曾經是保姆的女孩陪伴著他最寂寞的幾年。

情是一種感覺、感知的東西?；ㄑ郧烧Z，雖可生成迷霧，但真情假意是不難分辨的。如果這種情緒只是為了幫助你花錢，你應該保持警惕，因為全世界的人都可以幫助你花錢，只要你給他們機會。

不要把感情變成金錢的奴隸。

愛應該無私，愛應該真誠。無論遠近，你都不能欺騙自己。無情未必是真正的英雄，憐子怎能不做丈夫？我們是天地間的圣者，要懂得珍惜情感，收放有度，得失泰然。

天下沒有不散的宴席，天下沒有講不完的故事。天涯何處無芳草，天下誰人不識君？

People’s opinions are always different once they talk about campus love. Some people hold the idea that campus love is a bitter fruit which may cause pains and make people hurt. Besides, people who are against campus love maintain that campus love is just a kind of thing that wastes time and money. While others declare nothing is more wonderful than love. The later seem to be idealists who love for love’s sake!

As far as I’m concerned, I do not quite agree with the two kinds of opinions mentioned above. For one thing, since we are college students now, we should learn to take total responsibility and it is time for us to experience various kinds of "growing pains", including love. So maybe we’d better be braver to pursue it in spite of the sorrows that might happen to us.

However, I do not mean that study can be neglected compared with love. For, as college students our main task was, is and will be study. Being adults does not mean being totally independent. A man’s first duty is to find a way of supporting himself, thereby relieving other people of the necessity of supporting him. Therefore, we have to master the skills to make a living in future. Those who abandon their study in sake of love are rather idlers than idealists!

All in all, campus love has double edges. It is true that it may cost you something to seek it, but if you can arrange your time well, it will add color to your life and tell you how to give rather than receive without influencing your study. Just follow the star in your heart! Why not have a try?

尊敬的老師：

Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen，

I’m Wang ***** from Class*Grade*.It’s my pleasure to stand here today to talk about my school—Dalian No.9 Middle school.

Two years ago,when I first stepped into No.9 Middle school,I immediately fell in love with it. It is a beautiful school.The buildings are new and the walls are covered with wild roses that dazzle theeyes in the bee-humming air. I’ve thought of it often.How the grass turns green in the springtime,and how the mocking birds flutter their tails and sing,how the moon shines down on the building,how the Cuckoo Waltz rings out the precious short-lived hours,how the teenagers in bright summer dresses promenade the grassy lawn.

During these two years，my teachers have given me unconditional support,and have given their words of encouragement in good times and their words of consolation in difficult moments.They have always given me alittle more than I asked for and instilled in me the values and principles that govern my life now.It’s the teachers’ instruction here that tells me the art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go.The rabbis of old put it this way “A man comes to the world with his fist clenched,but when he dies,his hand is open.” I’ve learned a lot from my classmates and friends,we have overcomed many difficulties.They have always been optimistic and humorous.When my feet hurt,they all cared about me and some of them offered to help me up and down stairs.We play together,we learn together and we grow up together.It’s the help between our classmates that tells me how to love my life.However mean life is ,meet it and live it.It’s the school motto that tells me to improve myself,seek truth and develop innovations.

I love my school because of all this,besides,there is something more than I can say.

To end my speech ,let’s all give our best wishes to thefurther development of our campus! Thank you.

【13】世界無車日英語演講稿

演講從一個故事開始：

a stormy nightin hong kong.

香港一個風雨交加的夜晚。

a young man who asked his girlfriend out on adate canceled the date and stayed at home because of the bad weather. meanwhile, in the same apartment building, a pregnant lady who was lying in bed already, suddenly decided to drive out to grab some food. as she was driving back in the heavy rain, the lightning struck her building. and she saw the whole building collapsing in front of her in the storm.

公寓中的一名男孩，本已約了女友外出，出門時因風雨太大，就臨時取消了約會而逗留家中。

而公寓中另一位有孕在身、本已臥床休息的少婦，因想吃點東西而獨自駕車外出。

當她冒著風雨駕車返回時，發現整棟公寓竟然在風雨中倒塌了……

all the residents of that building, including the young man, lost their lives in that accident. yet the pregnant lady survived.

包括那名男孩在內的公寓中其他居民都喪身在倒塌的公寓與山泥之中，而孕婦卻幸免于難。

this is a story of fate by author, kuang ni from hong kong. dead oralive, all depended on that one thought. is this a made-up story, or a true reflection of our lives?

這是香港作家倪匡筆下一個耐人尋味的命運故事。

一念之間，生死兩重天。

這到底只是作家的藝術創作，還是生活的真實寫照?

you have probably also experienced how one decision potentially leads to adramatic and different result. so is it accidental, or inevitable? does destiny exist? if so, how is it formed? can it be changed? how do we change it?

你可能也經歷過這種事情，因為一個決定而產生了截然不同的結果。

那么，這是偶然還是必然?命運真的存在嗎?如果存在，它又是怎樣形成的?可以被改變嗎?如何才能改變?

my dad published a book titled enlightenment in XX. it’s a book about buddhism and its wisdom that may help you in life. i say “a life-changing book” here because first of all, it is what the chinese characters on the cover mean; secondly it is my own father’s book and of course i want to sell it; but thirdly, it indeed is “alife-changing book.”

我父親于XX年出版了《覺悟》一書。

這是一本關于用佛教智慧改變我們生命的書。

我說“this is a life-changing book(一本足以改寫你生命的書)”，因為首先，這本書的封面上的確寫著這些中文字;其次，這是我父親的書，我當然想推銷它;(笑聲)第三，這的確是一本足以改寫你生命的書。

ever since he published book, he has wanted me to translate his book when i grow more proficient in english. i doubt that i have the ability to translate his book yet, but i’d like to take this opportunity to share some bits and parts of his insights on buddhism; especially those on zen buddhism that have helped me in my life. this speech will partially be a rough translation of the first chapter of his book, as he wishes, and partially my personal experience with zen.

自從他出版這本書以后，我父親就希望我能幫他翻譯成英語。

當然，我不覺得我現在的英語水平夠去翻譯這整本書，但是我希望借這個機會，能分享一些他對佛法的見解，尤其是在我成長的過程中對我有很大幫助的禪學。

這次演講的一部分內容會是《覺悟》一書部分章節的簡單翻譯(算是如我父親所愿)，還有一部分是我自己的修心、修行經歷。

since the day we’re born, we’ve stepped into a huge maze with only one exit. the exit leads to the tranquil middle path that buddhism is looking for. and only by finding the right road can we exit the maze that is full of suffering. different thing shappen to different people in our lives, but you should know that every hardship or impasse you face comes from the seeds of your past ignorance and presumptuous acts. there’s nothing we could do with things that already happened, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop searching for the way out. in fact, according to buddhist teaching, if we wake up from the ignorance, we can definitely leave the maze.

從出生之日起，我們就像步入了一個只有唯一出口的巨大迷宮。

佛教正是要幫助你找到這個給你帶來解脫的唯一出口。

唯有找到這個出口，我們才能從滿是痛苦的迷宮中走出來。

每個人在生命中都經歷著不同的事情。

但不管在你的生命中發生了什么，要知道，現在你所遇到的每一個障礙或絕境，都來自過去的無知和妄行埋下的種子。

已經發生的結果，我們無力改變，但并不意味著我們必須停下探索的.腳步。

事實上，佛教認為，只要我們從無知中醒來，就一定能走出迷宮。

there is a kind of dandelion in canada that cangrow out of the ground again even if it’s been pulled out by its roots. some specialists latter found out that this kind of dandelion has roots that are eight meters down into the earth, and at the end of the roots, there’s a seed. even if the roots are taken out, the dandelion can grow out again because of its seed.

加拿大有一種生命力特別旺盛的蒲公英，即便你將它連根拔起，不久它還會從地下長出新的來。

后來，經過專家的深入研究發現，它的根須特別長，竟然頑強地扎入地下八米的深處，并且須根的盡頭有一粒種子，就算須根斷了，蒲公英也照樣會因這粒種子而再次破土重生。

deep down in our hearts, there’s aseed as well. without us noticing, the seed has been developing roots, blooming flowers, and even bearing bitter fruits. although we hate these bitter fruits, we have no idea where they come from. so after trying and failing every time,the fruits remain. they remain because we have only tried to solve the problems on the surface, like taking out the roots of the dandelion but not the seed.

在我們內心深處，也深埋著一顆種子。

不知不覺間，這顆潛伏著的種子在不斷地發芽開花，并結滿了各式各樣苦澀的果子。

雖然我們討厭那些苦澀的果子，但由于并不知道它們究竟來自何方，所以就算用盡了各種方法，卻總是失望地發現無法根除它。

因為，我們總是治標而不治本。

就像人們只是鏟除地上的蒲公英，或者雖然拔出了蒲公英的根須，卻將那顆種子留在了地下一樣。

the seed that is deep down in our hearts is called “ego,” – the source of all ofour troubles and pain. our hearts should be spacious and open, capable of taking in anything. we are the universe, and the universe is us. we are allone. but when the “ego” starts to develop, we start to separate ourselves from the whole.

深埋于我們內心深處的那顆種子叫“自我”，它是我們人生一切煩惱和痛苦的源頭。

我們的心，本來應該像虛空一樣，可以容納一切。

一切和我們沒有對立，一切就是我們，我們就是一切。

我們和整體沒有分割。

當我們有了自我，我們就開始分割和比較，“我”從整體中獨立了出來。

then based on our preferences and experience, our hearts start to have limited capacity. our hearts are no longer big enough to accommodate everything.the more specific preferences we develop, the smaller our hearts become. after a certain time, we start to hang on to the ego and develop different feelings because of it. we experience love and happiness, but also pain and suffering.the ego is a doubled-edged-sword. is there a way to use it only for good without any bad effects?

接著，因著我們的喜好、經驗，心的大小容量就顯露出來了，我們的心不再可以容納一切了。

隨著我們分割的東西越來越多，心的容量也就隨之變得越來越小。

自我變成了一道過濾外界事物的屏障，將我們和整體分割了開來。

接著，我們就慢慢執著于這個自我，經過一定階段的熏習和積累，因“我”而產生了愛和幸福，但也帶來了相應的痛苦和煩惱。

它是一把雙刃劍。

那么有沒有辦法把這把雙刃劍用好，只使其發揮有益的作用而不產生負面作用呢?

the ultimate goal is to get rid of the separation between us and thewhole. and to do that, buddhism divides the cultivation of this life style into three steps: discipline, meditation, and wisdom. our hearts are like candles, swaying in the breeze of desire. discipline is like adding a glass jar around the candle, separating the breeze so it no longer affects the candle light. meditation is the process the flame takes to stop swaying. and wisdom is the growing light as the flame comes to stillness.

佛教的最終目的是助你回本歸真。

為此，佛教將修行分為“戒、定、慧”三個步驟。

若把我們的心比喻成蠟燭，那么蠟燭會在風中搖曳(各種利益誘惑或逆境打擊)，很容易熄滅，如果給蠟燭加上個玻璃罩(就是“戒”)，它就慢慢從搖曳中靜下來(就是“定”)。

于是燭光會越來越明亮(就是“慧”)。

i’ve been going to boarding schools since i was seven. once after a stressful week, i went home with a grumpy look. noticing my anxiousness, my dad asked me to take a walk with him. along the narrow path were numerous streetlights; some were luminous and some were dusky. he pointed at one tha twas covered in dust and asked me, “remember your happiest moments? right now your brightness is covered by the dust of doubts and fears just like this streetlight. but the light is in you, you just need clear the dust off.” i realized that any situation is controllable with the right attitude.

七歲起，我就讀住宿學校。

有次周末回家時我滿心煩惱。

父親注意到后要我和他出去散散步。

那是一條滿是路燈的小道，有的明亮而有的昏暗。

父親指著一盞滿是灰塵的路燈問我：“記得你最開心的時候嗎?現在你內心的光亮被憂慮和恐懼的灰塵遮蓋住了，就像這盞燈一樣。

但是光就在你心中，你只需清除你心燈上的塵埃。

”我意識到，只要保持正確的心態，我能戰勝任何困難。

that led to my emotional flow chart. the x-axisindicates the date of the week. the y-axis has a scale of 1-5, one meaning extreme negative emotion and five meaning extreme positive emotion.

此后父親為我設計了一張情緒記錄表。

x軸為日期，在y軸上標上1-5分的分值(1分表示極其低落的情緒，5分表示非常興奮的情緒)。

(上圖為倪聞萱小時候的心情日記截圖)

in the beginning, the lines are shaky like astock market graph. i noticed that i might have a day of 1 right after a day of5. but as i pay more attention to my feelings, the lines start to get flatter,and tend to settle at 3 and 4. i’m not saying that i’m totally incontrol of my emotion now, but this chart has definitely helped me to be more aware of myself, and thus remain more logical when facing any situation.

起初，這張表就像動蕩的股票市場圖。

有時我會前一天是5分，第二天卻僅得到1分。

但當我開始觀照起自己的情緒時，它就變得慢慢平穩下來，經常徘徊在3和4之間。

我并不是說現在我能完全控制自己的情緒了，但是這張表對我的情緒控制起了很大的作用，面對問題時也變得更加理性。

an easier way to make yourself more aware of your emotional flow without this chart, is talking to yourself. when you’re lying in bed ready to go to sleep, instead of grabbing your phone, consider taking that half an hour, or even just five minutes, to have a conversation with yourself. ask yourself, “how are you?” and let your subconscious talk to you.

還有一個更簡單的，不用填寫任何表格的方法——和自己對話。

當你晚上躺在床上準備入睡前，試試放下手機，用那半小時，甚至僅僅五分鐘，和自己對話。

問問自己，“你感覺怎么樣?”讓你的潛意識和你說說話。

let’s try this. please close your eyes, and go through everything that happened to you yesterday. how was your day? where would you mark your day on a scale of 1-5? obviously the fluctuations of a day’s emotion will be like a heart beat. but try to average out thehighs and lows and mark your dot. did something or someone make you really happy? did you make someone else’s day better? was there a time when you could have been more kind? or was there a time you lost control? and what caused your emotional flows? what do you want your day to be like today? i hope this mini meditation helps you recollect yourself on the anxious last day of school before break.

讓我們現在就試試。

請閉上你的眼睛，想想昨天一天發生的所有事情。

你昨天一天怎么樣?(大家閉上了眼睛，在回憶)1-5分，你會給自己打幾分?當然，你的一天不可能保持同樣情緒。

嘗試把開心與不開心的時候平均一下，你會給自己打幾分?(停頓了幾秒)是什么事或什么人讓你開心了?(停頓了幾秒)有沒有因為你的緣故讓別人過得更好?(停頓了幾秒)有沒有某個瞬間，你的情緒失控了?(停頓了幾秒)是什么造成了你的情緒波動?(停頓了幾秒)你希望今天一天怎樣度過?(停頓了幾秒)我希望這個短短的自我對話，能幫助你在春假前的最后一天沉靜下來。

now i’ll leave you with a formula–

1 *(past) + 2* (now) = variable (future)

you could not change your past circumstances, but by adjusting your present mindset, you have the capacity to dramatically alter your future.

最后我想給你們一個公式——

1*(過去)+ 2*(現在)= 未知(未來)

你無法改變過去已經發生的事，但如果你能調整好你當下的狀態，你就能收獲一個意想不到的未來。

Can Money Buy Happiness?

Can money buy happiness? Different people have different opinions. Some think yes，while others hold the opposite.

It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants，and live a life of fort and security. However，it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. It is a mon view that "money is the root of all evil." The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money，resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.

So，money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is used. If we make honest and sensible use of money，it can be a stepping-stone to happiness l Although money cannot buy happiness，it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

金錢能買來幸福嗎?

金錢能買來幸福嗎?不一樣的人有不一樣的回答.有的人認為能，有的人則持相反的意見.

誠然一個人如果有足夠的錢能夠買到他想要的所有物品，過上舒適穩定的生活.然而，同樣缺錢往往引起巨大的憂傷.人們常常認為“金錢是萬惡之源”，對金錢的追求驅使許多人去騙去偷.在某些地方，沒有錢買不到的東西，導致社會的腐化墮落.

所以，金錢并不必須就意味著幸福.這取決于怎樣使用金錢，如果我們誠信明智地使用金錢，它將是幸福的基石.盡管金錢買不到幸福，但它能夠使幸福成為可能.
