翻译:A Grain of Sand 一粒沙

翻译:A Grain of Sand 一粒沙

    Here is a story. A participant in the long-distance race got his shoes filled with sand when he was crossing a beach. He had to stop to get the sand out hastily before he resumed running.1 Unfortunately a grain of sand remained rubbing the sole and became increasingly telling so that each step meant a twinge of pain.2 Reluctant to halt and get rid of the sand, he continued to run in spite of the pain until he could stand no more.3 He dropped out of the contest just a few yards from the finishing line. As he managed to get out of the shoe painfully, he was surprised to find the cause of his lasting torment was only a grain of sand.

  It seems that the greatest obstacle on one's way forward may not be a high mountain or a deep valley but a grain of sand that is hardly visible.4 To avoid blame on a minor fault one may tell a lie. That adds a burden to a heavy heart and weighs it down.5 In the days to come he will have to fabricate one falsehood after another to cover the lie he told and the fault he committed. Thus he will never be able to free himself from lingering anxiety, worry and regret, to the ignorance that all his sufferings originate in only a grain of sand--the first lie he told.6

  有这么一个故事:有一个参加长跑比赛的选手在经过一片沙滩时,鞋子里灌满了沙子,他匆匆把鞋子脱下,胡乱地把沙子倒出,便又急忙地继续往前跑。可是有一粒沙子仍留在他的鞋里,在他以后的路程中,那粒沙子磨着他的脚,使他走一步,痛一步。但他并没有停下把鞋子脱掉,抖出那粒磨自己脚的沙子,而仍是匆匆前行,在离终点不远的地方,因脚痛难忍,他不得不止步,最后放弃了比赛。当他忍着揪心的痛把鞋脱掉时,他发现让自己痛苦并放弃比赛的竟仅仅是一粒沙子。

  看来,有时阻挠我们前进的不是高山、深渊,而是极细小的一粒沙子。为了避免因一次轻微的过失遭指责,我们便编出谎言来掩盖。于是从编造第一个谎言开始,我们便背上了两个沉甸甸的包袱:"过失"与"谎言"。以后的日子,便常常为掩饰"过失"与"谎言"而不得不再造出新的谎言,从此自己便不得不在紧张、担心、痛苦的岁月中熬过。那第一个谎言,就是一粒沙。

听过这个故事,确实很受用...

不赞成啊~~怎么能说解释就是掩饰了呢?
  如果有些事情明明就不是自己做的,不解释难道还要被人家傻傻冤枉啊
那也太憋屈了,这个道理怎么能行得通呢
   哎,如果世界上没有人撒谎,就没有“美丽谎言”后的甜蜜啊
如果没有谎言,说话都是直来直往的,伤到别人的自尊心了,谁会喜欢跟你一起啊~
如果没有谎言,就不可能造就一个个美丽的缘分啊~~
如果要是没有谎言,就少了一种颜色,多了一份单调~~~
  事情都有两面的啊,要看是在什么时候,什么场合,什么态度,不要那么快的否定掉啊
    那样更是多了无谓的争吵啊~~
