双语美文真正的宁静 There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them. 从前有位国王想要奖励能将宁静最好诠释出来的艺术家。许多艺术家都试了。但国王只喜欢其中的两幅画，而且须从二者中选出最好的。 One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. 一副画画的是一个平静的湖。静谧的湖水将周边的山倒映出来，如同一面完美的镜子。天空蔚蓝，飘动着绵绵的白云。看完后，所有人都觉得这幅画最真切地表达了宁静。 The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. 另一副图画也有山，但画中的山崎岖荒凉。灰暗的天空，雷雨交加。山的一边瀑布急泻而下。一切看起来一点都不宁静。 But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest — in perfect peace. 但当国王仔细一看，他发现瀑布后的岩石缝里有一丛小小的灌木。一只鸟妈妈在树丛里搭了一个窝，它就这样坐在自己的窝里，坐在汹涌的瀑布之后---完全的宁静! Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why? 你想哪幅画会得奖?国王选了第二副画。为什么呢? “Because,” explained the king, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.” 国王解释道：“因为宁静并不单单指没有嘈杂，烦恼或艰苦工作的地方。宁静意味着在这些东西之后你仍然能得到自己的宁静。那才是宁静真正的涵义” 扩展：蓝色类英文词汇 蓝色 blue 天蓝 sky blue; azure ; celeste; 蔚蓝 azure; sky blue 月光蓝 moon blue 海洋蓝 ocean blue 海蓝 sea blue 湖蓝 acid blue 深湖蓝 vivid blue 中湖蓝 bright blue 浅湖蓝 canal blue 清水蓝 water blue 冰雪蓝 ice-snow blue 孔雀蓝 peacock blue 宝石蓝 sapphire; jewelry 粉末蓝 powder blue 铁蓝 iron blue 钴蓝 cobalt blue king''s blue 普鲁士蓝 Prussian blue 北京蓝 Beijing blue 士林蓝 indanthrene blue 品蓝 reddish blue ; royal blue;king''s blue 靛蓝 indigo; indigo blue; benzo blue 菘蓝 woaded blue 石磨蓝 stone-washed indigo 藏蓝 purplish blue; navy blue; navy 海军蓝 navy blue; navy 宝蓝 royal blue 墨蓝 blue black 绿蓝 turquoise blue 紫蓝 hyacinth;purplish blue 浅紫蓝 Dutch blue 青蓝 ultramarine 深灰蓝 blue ashes 深蓝 deep blue; dark blue ; navy blue ; 暗蓝 deep blue; dark blue 鲜蓝 clear blue 中蓝 medium blue ; azure blue 浅蓝 light blue 淡蓝 pale blue ; baby blue ; calamine blue 感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/cf37d8dcf32d2af90242a8956bec0975f565a4cd.html
