Mama, that summer, on the way to 1) Klitsemi, my straw hat flew down the mountains. Mama, do you remember, the old straw hat you gave to me? I lost that hat long ago, it flew to the 2) foggy canyon. Mama, I wonder what happened to that old straw hat which fell down the mountain-side and 3) whirled out of my reach like your heart. Suddenly that wind came up, stealing my hat from me. 4) Swirling gust of wind blew it higher, and higher ... Mama, that old straw hat was the only one I really love. But I lost it, no one could bring it back, like the life you give me. 

Mama, that summer, on the way to Klitsemi, I lost my straw hat. The 5) lilies along the road 6) wilted. And under that straw hat, the 7) crickets wept every night ... 

译文 

妈妈，就在那年夏天，在去克里兹米的路上，我的那顶草帽，掉进了山谷。妈妈，你还记得吗？记得你给我的那顶草帽吗？很久以前我遗落了，它飘向了雾霭的深谷。

妈妈，那顶旧草帽不知怎么了，掉进了山谷，就像你的心，我抓也抓不到。忽然，吹起一阵风，抢走了我那草帽，把他卷得越来越高……妈妈，那顶旧草帽，是我唯一的爱，就像是你给我的生命，丢失了，再也找不到。

妈妈，就在那年夏天，在往克里兹米的路上，我的草帽掉了。路边的百合都枯萎了。在那草帽下面，每天晚上都有蟋蟀在哭泣……

Youth

By Samuel Erman 

青春的文字原来也可以如此的美丽激昂！

1. Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind, it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, it is the freshness of the deep spring of life. 

2. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exits in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows merely by a number of years, we grow old by deserting our idea. 

3. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. 

4. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart thereis a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from the infinite, so long as you are young. 

5. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism. Then you've grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up to catch waves of optimism, there's hope you may die young at 80. 

青 春

［美］塞缪•俄尔曼 

1．青春不是生命的一段时光，不是指红润的脸颊、红扑扑的嘴唇和柔软的双膝；它是一种精神状态，是指不懈的干劲、丰富的想象力和滚烫的情怀。它是生命春意正浓时鲜活的记忆。

2．它是生命之源勃勃生机的涌泉。青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气慨和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60 岁的老者比一个20 岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致，更主要的是懒惰、不思进取的结果。

3．光阴可以在颜面上留下印记，而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹。遗憾、恐惧、缺乏自信，会扭曲人的灵魂，并将青春化为灰烬。

4．无论是 60 岁还是 16 岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心，永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底，都有一座无线电台；它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量信息，你就会年轻多长时间。

5．当天线倒塌时，你的精神就被玩世不恭和悲观厌世的冰雪所覆盖，你就会衰老下去，即使你只是20 岁；而你的无线巍然矗立着的时候，凭着高昂的乐观主义，你就有希望在80岁死去时仍然韶华不逝。 

Be a Queen

By Oprah Winfrey 

情真意浓，字字铿锵。文字中不乏演讲辞的简练与激情。读完之后，你才知道，做个真 正的女人，你必须：

Be a queen. Dare to be different. Be a pioncer. Be a leader. Be the kind of woman who in the face of diversity will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly toward the challenge. Take it on! Be a truth seeker and rule your domain, whatever it is - your home, your office, your family - with a loving heart. Be a queen. Be tender. Continue to give birth to new ideas and rejoice in your womanhood ... My prayer is that we will stop wasting time being mundane and mediocre ... It doesn't matter what you've been through, where you come from, who your parents are - nor your social or economic status. None of that matters. What matters is how you choose to love, how you choose to express that love through your work through your family, through what you have to give to the world. Be a queen, Own your power and your glory! 

［美句拾贝］： 

● Bethe kind of woman who in the face of diversity will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly toward the challenge. 

● Be a truth seeker and rule your domain.

● We will stop wasting time being mundane and mediocre. 

● What matters is how you choose to love, how you choose to express that love through your workthrough your family, through what you have to give to the world.
