Step 2经典美文

We are on a journey

By Henry Van Dyke

Wherever you are， and whoever you may be， there is one thing in which you and I are just alike，at this moment，and in all the moments of our existence.We are not at rest； we are on a journey.Our life is not a mere fact； it is a movement， a①tendency， a steady，②ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal.We are gaining something， or losing something， every day.Even when our position and our character seem to remain③precisely the same，they are changing.For the mere advance of time is a change.It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July.The season makes the difference.The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another.Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed.It sets us forward or backward.Are you richer today than you were yesterday?No？Then you are a little poorer.Are you better today than you were yesterday？ No？ Then you are a little worse.Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday?Yes，you must be a little nearer to some port or other；for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life you have never been still for a single moment； the sea is too deep， you could not find an anchorage锚地if you would； there can be no pause until you come into port.

人在旅途

亨利·凡·戴克

无论你在何方，也无论你是何人，此刻，抑或在我们生命中的任一瞬间，你与我之间都有一点相同之处。那就是，我们并未停歇，而仍在旅途。我们的人生并不是一种存在的事实，而是一种运动，一种趋势，一种坚定不移而没有停息地朝向某个看不见的目标前行的过程。每一天，我们都有所得，也有所失。即使我们的地位和品性看起来与原来无异，但实际上它们正在改变，因为时间的推移本身就是一种改变。同一片荒野，在一月和七月是不同的，季节造成了这种差异。智能上的不足，在孩子身上被视为天真无邪，而对于成人来说则是一种幼稚的表现。我们所做的每件事都是朝着某一个方向迈出的一步。甚至无为，其本身也是一种作为，它使我们前进或后退。你今天比昨天富有吗?没有?那说明你变穷了点。你今天比昨天过得好吗?没有?那么你的情况变糟了一点。你今天比昨天更接近你的港口了吗?是的，那么你一定距某个港口更近了。因为，自从你驶入人生之海，你的航船至今尚未停歇片刻。这片海太深了，纵使你想找到一个抛锚停泊之处也难以求得。因此，在驶入港口之前，你无法稍作歇息。
