我的英語演講稿
There are many brief stories which contain the plentiful philosophy. They make us grow and be mature. They teach us how to face joys and sorrows, gain and loss in our life. Now I’d like to share one of them with all of you.
The story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.
During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: Today my best friend slapped me in the face.
They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After he recovered from the fright, he wrote on a stone: Today my best friend saved my life.
The friend, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?”
The other friend replied: “When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away, but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”
Learn to write your hurts in sand , then you forget about the hatred. Learn to carve your gratitude in stone, then you know how to care about other people around you . This is what I have learned from this story. And I also believe that if everyone does like this, the world will become a better place.

傷害只寫在沙地上
有許多短小精悍的故事包含著豐富的人生哲理,它們讓我們成長、成熟,它們教會我們?nèi)绾蚊鎸ι钪械臍g樂和哀傷,所失和所得?,F(xiàn)在我就想和大家分享這其中的一個(gè)。
故事講的是正在步行穿越沙漠的兩位朋友。
途中某處,倆人發(fā)生了爭執(zhí),其中一位一巴掌扇在另一位的臉上。被扇的那位很傷心,但他一言不發(fā),在沙地上寫道:“今天我最好的朋友扇了我一巴掌。”
他們繼續(xù)前行,找到了一片綠洲,并決定在此洗個(gè)澡。挨摑而受到傷害的那一位因陷入泥潭而溺水了,好在他的朋友救了他。從驚魂中蘇醒之后,他在石頭上刻道:“今天我最好的朋友救了我。”
那位扇過他又救了他的朋友問道:“我傷害你時(shí),你寫在沙地上;而現(xiàn)在我救了你,你卻刻在石頭上,為什么?”
他回答說:“當(dāng)別人傷害我們時(shí),我們只宜寫在沙地上,寬恕的風(fēng)會將它吹得了無痕跡;但當(dāng)別人幫了我們時(shí),我們應(yīng)當(dāng)將它刻在石頭上,什么風(fēng)也不能將其磨滅。”
學(xué)著將你的傷痛寫在沙地上,這樣你就會忘記仇恨;學(xué)著將你的感激刻在石頭上,這樣你就會懂得如何去關(guān)心你周圍的人。這就是我從這個(gè)故事中得到的啟發(fā),并且我相信如果每個(gè)人都這樣做,世界將會變得更美好。
