What EachOne means?
EachOne蕴涵的意义?
Once upon a time there lived a man in a castle by the sea. Every night he would sit by his fire next to the window and gaze at the beach below. He would watch the waves crash up on the beach.
曾几何时,在海边的一个城堡里,有一位先生,每晚都坐在靠窗的壁炉边,远远地眺望着下面的海滩,
看着海浪冲刷沙滩。
One night there was a tremendous storm that threw up rocks, seaweed and hundreds of starfish all along the beach as far as he could see. A single girl was walking along the beach and throwing the starfish back into the sea one at a time. The old man thought nothing of it.
有天晚上,一场巨大的暴风雨降临,它击岩冲石,将成千的海星和海草从大海中活生生地卷到
蔓延无际的沙滩上。风雨过后,一个小姑娘出现在海滩,她边走边将海星拾起,并用力扔回大海。
这位先生静静地看着,什么也没想。
The next week there was another storm, worse this time, and he saw the same girl throwing the same starfish back into the sea. When he saw the girl picking up the starfish a third time he could retain his curiosity no longer. He ran down the steps of his castle, out onto the beach and up to the young girl. He said to her, 'Why do you so throw these starfish into the sea night after night? You are picking up the same starfish that you did yesterday and the same starfish that you will be picking up tomorrow. Not only that, but this beach is hundreds of miles long and you can only do this tiny area. What difference can you possibly be making?!'
第二个星期,另一场更大的风暴降临。他又看到了那位女孩,在海滩上,不停地将那些海星扔回大海。
接着,第二天,第三次的风暴过后,那女孩又再次出现,继续将海星拾起并扔回大海。
再也按耐不住好奇之心,他跑出城堡,来到海滩,对女孩问道:“为什么你不停地将这些海星扔回大海呢?
你今天所捡起的海星明天可能再次被冲上海滩,也许就是昨天你扔进大海的那些,而且,这片海滩有几百里长,你能照顾到的,也就这么一点地方,你的努力能改变什么呢?
The girl bent down, picked up another starfish, and as she threw it back into the sea she said, 'It makes a difference to this one.'
女孩弯下身,拾起另一只海星,将它扔回大海,并说到:“对这只海星来说,一切都改变了”
Yes, "To that one, it makes a difference."
是的,“对这只海星来说,它的命运从此改变。”
At that very moment, she was making a difference for that starfish.
在那一刻,她改变了那只海星的命运。
And she was making a difference for herself too because she was connected to that starfish.
而她自己也得以改变,因为她的人生和海星的命运得以联系。
And that's what life is all about--connecting.
人生不就是如此吗?-- 发生各种联系,相互促进改变。
In fact, that's the only time, you're ever alive, really, is when you're connecting.
实际上,你的人生,唯有在和世界周遭发生联系,发生交流的时候,意义才得以体现。
EachOne connects, Let's make a difference!
EachOne的意义在于促进交流,让我们的人生从此不同! |
