这几年为数不过来的会议提供翻译服务,学到了不少东西,因为许多会议的内容都是某个行业或专业的精华浓缩。
也听到了不少至理名言。
印象最深的、最具震撼力的一个故事,现转述如下:
This is an old Red Indian tale.
On a starry night, in a mountain valley, a group of young children sit down around a bonfire, waiting eagerly to hear another story from their beloved Grandpa.
"Tonight, let me tell you a story of two wolves." So begins Grandpa.
"Yeah, we love wolf stories," cheer the children.
"You know, there are two wolves inside each one of us."
One of his grandchildren is puzzled, "Really, two wolves, in me? Where are they, Grandpa?"
"They are in your heart. They are in my heart. They are in your papa's heart and your mama's heart. They are in his, and his," Grandpa continues, "One wolf is kindness, patience, generosity, forgiveness. The other wolf is resentment, greed, selfishness, cruelty.
"These two wolves are always fighting, inside each one of us."
"Which one wins in the end, Grandpa?"
Silence.
Then comes Grandpa's reply,
"The one you feed!"
