精美英文欣赏:简单的一句问候

（单词翻译）

Hello, Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. Fresh flowers are such a lovely thing of beauty. Once in a while I pick a bouquet¹ or a single perfect rose to give to a neighbor, friend or relative.

Early one morning I gathered a beautiful bouquet of sweet-smelling long-stemmed roses for myself. The roses were definitely² a delight³ for my eyes. While I thought about how pleasing they were for me to enjoy, a calm, gentle voice outside of myself simply said, Give them to your friend.

I went straight into the house and I arranged⁴ the roses in a vase⁵. Then I wrote this note as small as I could: For my friend…

I went across the street to my neighbor's, who is also one of my closest friends, and I left the bouquet at the front door.

Later that day my friend called to thank me. She said the flowers were a true blessing⁶. Late the night before she had been arguing with one of her children, being cruel, as teenagers can sometimes be, her child said to her, "You have no friends."

What a surprise when she went to leave for work that morning and found not just the blessings⁷ of the bouquet of flowers, but the tiny note which simply said, "For my friend."

The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.

I believe the art of living consists not so much in complicatingsimple things as in simplifying⁸ things that are not.

大家好。欢迎来到faith轻松电台，我是Faith。鲜花是美丽动人的。偶尔我会采一束花或拣一朵娇艳的玫瑰送给我的邻居、朋友或亲戚。

一天早上我给自己采了一束芬芳馥郁的玫瑰。这些花儿是那么让人赏心悦目。正当我想着独自欣赏这些玫瑰是如何惬意时，耳畔仿佛听见有人温柔平静地说：“把它送给你的朋友吧。”

我径直走进屋里，把花插在花瓶里。然后写了一张很小的纸条：送给我的朋友……

我走过马路，来到邻居的屋前。她还是我的挚友。然后我把花束放在她的门前。

后来朋友打电话向我致谢。她说那些花儿是一种实实在在的祝福。前天晚上，她刚跟自己的一个孩子吵架。孩子大发脾气，就像其他十来岁的孩子有时会大发雷霆一样，孩子对她说：“你没有朋友。”

第二天早上她正要出门上班时惊讶地发现了那束花，花儿带来了祝福，但更重要的是写在小纸条上的一句问候：“送给我的朋友”。

显而易见的东西往往被人忽略，直到有人把它简单地说出来。

我相信生活的艺术不在于把简单的事情复杂化，而在于简化那些本来并不简单的事情。
