双语有声阅读：人生的回音

我们常把生活比作镜子，它折射出你对生活的态度，当你微笑时，镜中的人也会对你微笑；当你苦恼时，镜中的人也会和你一起苦恼；当你生气时，镜中的人也会生气。对生活微笑吧，生活也会给你带来微笑！ 

 

A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, the son falls, hurts himself and screams, "AAAhhhh!!!"To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain," AAAhhhh!!!" Curious, he yells," Who are you?" He receives the answer,"Who are you?" Angered at the response, he scream,"Coward!" He receives the answer,"Coward!"

 

He looks to his father and asks,"What's going on?" The father smiles and says,"My son, pay attention." And then he screams to the mountain, "I admire you!" The voice answers," I admire you!" Again the man screams,"You are a champion!" The voice answers,"You are a champion!" The boy is surprised, but does not understand.

 

Then the father explains,"People call this ECHO¹, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection² of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence³ in you team, improve your competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life. Life will give you back everything you have given to it."

 

人生的回音

 

有一个小男孩和他的父亲走在山中。突然，孩子不小心跌倒了，痛得大叫了一声：“哎呀……”但是令他吃惊的是，他听到了一个声音从山中的某处传出来，重复着他的喊声：“哎呀……”他很好奇，大声喊道：“你是谁？”结果他得到的回答也是：“你是谁？”小男孩听了很生气，大声喊道：“胆小鬼！”结果他得到的回答也是：“胆小鬼！”他看着父亲问道：“到底是怎么回事？”父亲笑着说：“儿子，注意听。”父亲对着山大喊了一声：“我佩服你！”结果传回来的声音也是：“我佩服你！”父亲再一次大声地喊：“你是冠军！”那个声音也回答道：“你是冠军！”小孩子很惊讶，但是不明白其中的原因。

 

这时父亲解释说：“人们称这为‘回音’，但实际上这就是‘人生’。你说的每一句话，做的每一件事都会回应到你身上。我们的人生只不过是我们所作所为的反映。如果你要这个世界有更多的爱，那么你就要在你的心中创造更多的爱；如果你想让你的团队更优秀，那么先让你自己更优秀。这种关系对任何事情都是适用的，它适用于人生的方方面面。你给予人生的一切它都会回应给你。”
