Collectibles

收藏品

Collectibles have been a part of almost every culture since ancient times.

從古代開始，收藏品就是文化的一部分。

Whereas some objects have been collected for their usefulness, others have been selected for their aesthetic beauty alone.

一些物品因它們的有用性被收藏，而另一些則純粹因為它們的美被收藏。

In theUnited States, the kinds of collectibles currently popular range from traditional objects

在美國，當今流行的收藏品種類從傳統物件，

such as stamps, coins, rare books, and art to more recent items of interest like dolls, bottles, baseball cards, and comic books.

如郵票、硬幣、珍本書籍、藝術品，到更近期一些的有趣的東西，如布娃娃、瓶子、壘球卡、連環漫畫冊。

Interest in collectibles has increased enormously ring the past decade, in part because some collectibles have demonstrated their value as investments.

對收藏品的興趣在過去十年中大大地增長，部分原因是一些收藏品顯示出了它們的投資價值。

Especially ring cycles of high inflation, investors try to purchase tangibles that will at least retain their current market values.

尤其在高通貨膨脹時期，投資者盡量購買那些至少會保持他們現有市場價值的有形資產。

In general, the most traditional collectibles will be sought because they have preserved their value over the years, there is an organized auction market for them,

一般來說，最傳統的收藏品受青睞，因為它們多年後仍保持其價值。它們擁有完善的拍賣市場，

and they are most easily sold in the event that cash is needed. Some examples of the most stable collectibles are old masters,

在需要現金的時候最容易被賣掉。一些最穩當的收藏品是古老的畫作、

Chinese ceramics, stamps, coins, rare books, antique jewelry, silver, porcelain, art by well-known artists, autographs, and period furniture.

中國陶器、郵票、硬幣、珍本書籍、古代珠寶、銀器、瓷器、著名藝術家的作品、親筆簽名和有時代特徵的傢具。

Other items of more recent interest include old photograph records, old magazines, post cards, baseball cards, art glass, dolls, classic cars, old bottles, and comic books.

其它更近期的物品有舊唱片、舊雜志、明信片、壘球卡片、彩色玻璃、布娃娃、早期汽車、古瓶和連環畫冊。

These relatively new kinds of collectibles may actually appreciate faster as short-term investments, but may not hold their value as long-term investments.

作為短期投資這些相對說來較新穎的收藏品的確可能更快地增值，但作為長期投資則可能不能保值。

Once a collectible has had its initial play, it appreciates at a fairly steady rate, supported by an increasing number of enthusiastic collectors competing

一旦一件收藏品有了它第一次交易，它便以一個相當穩定的比率增值，這個增值率受到越來越多的熱情的收藏者的支持，

for the limited supply of collectibles that become increasingly more difficult to locate.

他們為有限的而且越來越難找到的收藏品而競爭。

Sleep

Sleet is part of a person’s daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you fist drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, you temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing well slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves 1 sleep. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep. slower your brain waves will be. Then about 40to 69 minutes after you lose consciousness you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm. This is stage 4 sleep.

You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. It is ring REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep----only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later.

睡眠

睡眠是人每天日常活動循環的一部分。人的睡眠分幾個階段，而這些階段也是循環發生的。如果你是一個正常的睡眠者，你的睡眠循環會這樣進行。

在你開始昏昏入睡時，你的眼睛會滾動幾下，體溫略有下降，肌肉放鬆，呼吸變得緩慢而有節奏。除了開始幾分鍾比較快的α節奏外，腦電波也稍有減緩。

這被稱為第一階段睡眠。在隨後約半小時內，你進一步放鬆，進入第二和第三階段睡眠。睡眠越深入，腦電波就越緩慢。大約在開始睡眠後的40到

60分鍾，你將進入沉睡狀態。這時的腦電波表現為巨大的緩波，被稱為δ節奏。這就是第四階段睡眠。但你並不是整夜都保持這種沉睡狀態。入睡後約

80分鍾左右，你的大腦運動水平會再度略有提高。δ節奏消失，並被腦電波的運動圖形取代。你的眼睛會

在閉著的眼瞼下迅速轉動，就好象你在看著眼前發生的什麼事情。這種迅速的眼球運動持續約8～15分鍾，這一階段睡眠被稱之為快速眼動(REM)睡眠。

在REM睡眠階段，你的肢體會很快再度放鬆，呼吸也再次放慢並變得有節奏，你會輕松地從第一階段滑入第四階段睡眠-直到大約80分鍾後重新接近清醒狀態。

Bacteria

Bacteria are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or centimeters, bacterial size is measured in microns. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter: a pinhead is about a millimeter across. Rod-shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns long, while rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter. Thus if you enlarged a rounded bacterium a thousand times, it would be just about the size of a pinhead. An alt human magnified by the same amount would be over a mile(1.6 kilometer) tall.

Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a magnification of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots. One cannot make out anything of their structure. Using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have attached to them wavy-looking “hairs” called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella rotate, pushing the bacteria through the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power, while others can glide along over surfaces by some little-understood mechanism.

From the bacteria point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans. To a bacterium water is as thick as molasses is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are influenced by the movements of the chemical molecules around them. Bacteria under the microscope, even those with no flagella, often bounce about in the water. This is because they collide with the watery molecules and are pushed this way and that. Molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a second the molecules around a bacteria have all been replaced by new ones; even bacteria without flagella are thus constantly exposed to a changing environment.

細菌細菌是極其微小的生物體。我們用英寸或厘米來測量自己的大小，而測量細菌卻要用微米。一微米等於千分之一毫米。針頭直徑大約一毫米。

棒狀細菌通常有2～4微米長，而圓形細菌的直徑一般只有1微米。因此，即使你把一個圓形細菌放大1000倍，它也不過一個針頭那麼大。

可是如果把一個成年人放大1000倍，就會變成1英里(或1.6公里)多高。用一般的顯微鏡觀察細菌時，你必須仔細觀察才能看見它們。使用

100倍的顯微鏡時，你會發現細菌不過是隱約可見的小細棒或小點點，而它們的結構你卻根本看不出來。使

用特殊的著色劑後，你會發現有的細菌上長著不少波狀的"毛發"即鞭毛，而有的細菌只有一根鞭毛。鞭毛的旋轉可以推動細菌在水中行進。

不少細菌沒有鞭毛，因而不能自己行進。還有些細菌卻能通過某些鮮為人知的機制沿物體表面滑動。我們所熟知的世界在細菌眼中完全是另一個樣子。

對於細菌來說，水就同糖漿之於人類一樣稠密。細菌是如此的微小，周圍化學分子的一舉一動都會對它們產生影響。在顯微鏡下，細菌，甚至包括那些沒有鞭

毛的細菌，經常在水中跳來跳去。這是因為它們與水分子相撞後，被彈向各個方向。分子移動很迅速，僅0.1

秒之隔，一個細菌周圍的分子就會完全更新。因此，即使是沒有鞭毛的細菌也暴露在一個不斷變化的環境中。

A Dog and His Meat

There lived a homeless dog wandering around. Having starved all day, the dog was very hungry. 'Where can I find something to eat?'

While the dog was passing by a butcher shop, the owner was bargaining with a customer. 'Now's the time!' When the owner took his eyes off the meat, the dog stole a cut of meat and ran away. "Stop right there!" screamed the owner. The dog ran for his life.

As he arrived in the deep and quiet woods, the dog heaved a sigh of relief. However, the dog did not put down the piece of meat in his mouth. 'If I put it down, somebody is going to take it a way, right?' The dog was looking around cautiously. When he crossed a bridge over a river. He looked down from the bridge. 'Wait a minute! What is going on? '

There was another dog in the water, holding a piece of meat in his mouth. Moreover, that dog's meat looked a lot bigger than what he had.

'Why! That fellow has a bigger piece of meat!' The dog got angry and barked loudly, "grrr..., ruff, ruff" As he barked, the meat in his mouth fell with a splash into the river.

The flowing water carried the meat further and further away. The foolish dog regretted it, but it was too late. Having lost the meat because of his greed, the dog barked all day long on the bridge in vain.

The Frog and the Cow

Baby frogs went on a picnic in the woods. Getting out of the pond for the first time, they sang merrily.

Then, they found a cow grazing in a field. "Oh, my! What is that?" "It is huge!" All of them wondered what kind of animal it was. "Let's ask Daddy."

They returned home in a hurry and shouted, "Daddy, we saw a strange animal." "What kind of animal was it?"

"It had large horns on its head and its body was way bigger than you. Even if we all add up our power, we can not defeat that animal."

The father was curious what the animal looked like. "Really? Was it bigger than my stomach?" "Yes. Much bigger than that!" The father frog blew up his stomach largely, "Well, now, I'm as big as the animal, right?" "No, you are as big as the animal's heel." The father puffed himself up deeply and blew up his stomach enormously.

"How about now? Am I as big as the animal, huh?" "No, not even." Thinking he could not be outdone, the father frog puffed up his stomach even more.

The father frog's stomach was blown up as big as he could get. Right at that very moment, the father frog's stomach burst with a bang.

第一篇：The Road To Happiness幸福之道

It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it unwisely. Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed. So it is with happiness. If you pursue it by means of drink, you are forgetting the hang-over. Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian, and most people would need something more vigorous. For most people, the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be incompatible with happiness.

There are a great many people who have all the material conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, nevertheless, are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the fault must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on impulse, and are happy as long as external conditions are favorable. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an occasional night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too apt to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount objective, and restrain all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private affections. When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except harrying other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example. Many rich ladies, although nature has not endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure in literature or art, decide to be thought cultured, and spend boring hours learning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written to give delight, not to afford opportunities for sty snobbism.

If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common. The most important of these things is an activity which at most graally builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence. Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family. Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them. But there are many humbler forms of the same kind of pleasure. Many men who spend their working life in the city devote their weekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens, and when the spring comes, they experience all the joys of having created beauty.

The whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion, been treated too solemnly. It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion. Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recovery, just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill. But when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic and happy without a theory. It is the simple things that really matter. If a man delights in his wife and children, has success in work, and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be. If, on the other hand, he finds his wife fateful, his children's noise unenrable, and the office a nightmare; if in the daytime he longs for night, and at night sighs for the light of day, then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen----a different diet, or more exercise, or what not.

Man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology more than he likes to think. This is a humble conclusion, but I cannot make myself disbelieve it. Unhappy businessmen, I am convinced, would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.

道德家們常說：幸福靠追求是得不到的。只有用不明智的方式去追求才是這樣。蒙特卡洛城的賭徒們追求金錢，但多數人卻把錢輸掉了，而另外一些追求金錢的辦法卻常常成功。追求幸福也是一樣。如果你通過暢飲來追求幸福，那你就忘記了酒醉後的不適。埃畢丘魯斯追求幸福的辦法是只和志趣相投的人一起生活，只吃不塗黃油的麵包，節日才加一點乳酪。他的辦法對他來說是成功的，但他是個體弱多病的人，而多數人需要的是精力充沛。就多數人來說，除非你有別的補充辦法，這樣追求快樂就過於抽象和脫離實際，不宜作為個人的生活准則。不過，我覺得無論你選擇什麼樣的生活准則，除了那些罕見的和英雄人物的例子外，都應該是和幸福相容的。

很多人擁有獲得幸福的全部物質條件，即健康的身體和豐足的收入，可是他們非常不快樂。就這種情況來說，似乎問題處在生活理論的錯誤上。從某種意義上講，我們可以說任何關於生活的理論都是不正確的。我們和動物的區別並沒有我們想像的那麼大。動物是憑沖動生活的，只要客觀條件有利，它們就會快樂。如果你有一隻貓，它只要有東西吃，感到暖和，偶爾晚上得到機會去尋歡，它就會很快活。你的需要比你的貓要復雜一些，但還是以本能為基礎的。在文明社會中，特別是在講英語的社會中，這一點很容易被忘卻。人們給自己定下一個最高的目標，對一切不利於實現這一目標的沖動都加以克制。生意人可能因為切望發財以致不惜犧牲健康和愛情。等他終於發了財，他除了苦苦勸人效法他的好榜樣而攪得別人心煩外，並沒有得到快樂。很多有錢的貴婦人，盡管自然並未賦予她們任何欣賞文學或藝術的興趣，卻決意要使別人認為她們是有教養的，於是他們花費很多煩人的時間學習怎樣談論那些流行的新書。這些書寫出來是要給人以樂趣的，而不是要給人以附庸風雅的機會的。

只要你觀察一下周圍那些你可稱之為幸福的男男女女，就會看出他們都有某些共同之處。在這些共同之處中有一點是最重要的：那就是活動本身，它在大多數情況下本身就很有趣，而且可逐漸的使你的願望得以實現。生性喜愛孩子的婦女，能夠從撫養子女中得到這種滿足。藝術家、作家和科學家如果對自己的工作感到滿意，也能以同樣的方式得到快樂。不過，還有很多是較低層次的快樂。許多在城裡工作的人到了周末自願地在自家的庭院里做無償的勞動，春天來時，他們就可盡情享受自己創造的美景帶來的快樂。

在我看來，整個關於快樂的話題一向都被太嚴肅的對待過了。過去一直有這樣的看法：如果沒有一種生活的理論或者宗教信仰，人是不可能幸福的。也許那些由於理論不好才導致不快樂的人需要一種較好的理論幫助他們重新快活起來，就像你生過病需要吃補葯一樣。但是，正常情況下，一個人不吃補葯也應當是健康的;沒有理論也應當是幸福的。真正有關系的是一些簡單的事情。如果一個男人喜愛他的妻子兒女，事業有成，而且無論白天黑夜，春去秋來，總是感到高興，那麼不管他的理論如何，都會是快樂的。反之，如果他討厭自己的妻子，受不了孩子們的吵鬧，而且害怕上班;如果他白天盼望夜晚，而到了晚上又巴望著天明，那麼，他所需要的就不是一種新的理論，而是一種新的.生活——改變飲食習慣，多鍛煉身體等等。

人是動物，他的幸福更多的時候取決於其生理狀況而非思想狀況。這是一個很庸俗的結論，然而我無法使自己懷疑它。我確信，不幸福的商人與其找到新的理論來使自己幸福，還不如每天步行六英里更見效。

第二篇：Stars on a Snowy Night雨雪時候的心情

The thermometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero, but still chose to sleep in the porch as usual. In the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the sky. Though they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots, yet I had become so accustomed to them that their occasional absence would bring me loneliness and ennui.

It had been snowing all night, not a single star in sight. My roommate and I, each wrapped in a quilt, were seated far apart in a different corner of the porch, facing each other and chatting away.

She exclaimed pointing to something afar, “Look, Venus in rising!” I looked up and saw nothing but a lamp round the bend in a mountain path. I beamed and said pointing to a tiny lamplight on the opposite mountain, “It’s Jupiter over there!”

More and more lights came into sight as we kept pointing here and there. Lights from hurricane lamps flickering about in the pine forest created the scene of a star-studded sky. With the distinction between sky and forest obscured by snowflakes, the numerous lamp-lights now easily passed for as many stars.

Completely lost in a make-believe world, I seemed to see all the lamplights drifting from the ground. With the illusory stars hanging still overhead, I was spared the effort of tracing their positions when I woke up from my dreams in the dead of night.

Thus I found consolation even on a lonely snowy night !

寒暑表降到冰點下十八度的時候，我們也是在廊下睡覺。每夜最熟識的就是天上的星辰了。也不過是點點閃爍的光明，而相看慣了，偶然不見，也有些想望與無聊。

連夜雨雪，一點星光都看不見。荷和我擁衾對坐，在廊子的兩角，遙遙談話。

荷指著說：“你看維納斯(Venus)升起來了!”我抬頭望時，卻是山路轉折處的路燈。我怡然一笑，也指著對山的一星燈火說：“那邊是丘比特(Jupiter)呢!”

愈指愈多。松林中射來零亂的風燈，都成了滿天星宿。真的，雪花隙里，看不出來天空和森林的界限，將繁燈當作繁星，簡直是抵得過。

一念至誠的將假作真，燈光似乎都從地上飄起。這幻成的星光，都不移動，不必半夜夢醒時，再去追尋他們的位置。

於是雨雪寂寞之夜，也有了慰安了!

❻ 有什麼適合初中生的全英文讀物

適合初中生的全英文讀物：《野性的呼喚》、《秘密花園》、《弗蘭肯斯坦》。

1、英文小說The Call of the Wild《野性的呼喚》

這部英文小說的作者是Jack London，這部小說主要講了一隻叫巴克原的狗，他生活在美國南部加州一個溫暖的山谷里，後來種種原因被賣到美國北部阿拉斯加，成了一隻拉雪橇的狗。這只狗目睹了強者與弱者之間為了生存冷酷無情的明爭暗鬥。為了活命，它變得陰險、機智。

2、The Secret Garden《秘密花園》

《秘密花園》這部英文小說的作者是Frances Hodgson Burnett，主人公瑪麗是一個任性而又孤傲的富家小公主，不幸的是一場瘟疫讓她變成了一個可憐的孤兒。隨後她被在古老莊園生活的親戚收養，她和表兄在秘密花園里恢復了孩子純真善良的天性。

3、震撼人心的英文小說Frankenstein《弗蘭肯斯坦》

這部英文小說作者是Mary Shelley。主要講述科學家弗蘭肯斯坦創造了一個醜陋的怪物，怪物本來心地善良，嚮往幸福和愛情，但得到的卻是人類的驅趕和敵意，他請求弗蘭肯斯再給他創造一個同類被拒絕。他的一生幾乎都在悲慘中度過，後來他不顧一切的報復人類，最終和弗蘭肯斯坦同歸於盡。

在長期大量閱讀了各類英文刊物和著作之後，最明顯的進步就是詞彙量有很大提升。而且這種積累是任何其他訓練都無法帶來的。而且看不同的讀物，可以增加不同方面的詞彙量。比如平時看The Economist，The New York Times等等一些刊物的話，可以積累很多比較正式，比較具有專業性的詞彙。

如果是讀一些當代通俗小說，暢銷書的話，可以學到很多日常生活中常用的地道表達和很多描寫性的詞彙。最直觀的就是簡簡單單的一個哭，就有weep、sob、wail、bawl等等無數種不同的表達。而且在小說中，有上下文的語境，更能讓人體會到單詞本身所描繪的人物情緒和情態，每種哭都是帶著不同情緒、動作和表情的，這是單純地背單詞所無法帶來的體驗。

There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.

What to do

In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.

What to wear

Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.

_______________

In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (頑童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.

Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated (猶豫).

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”

“Oh yes, I’d love that.”

After a short ride, the boy turned around with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.

He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (殘疾的.) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.

“How do you know ?”was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.

I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Graally, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.

One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(擁抱)her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”

In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
