Every Woman is beautiful.每个女人都美丽

A little boy asked his mother“Why are you crying?”一个男孩问他的妈妈：“你为什么要哭呢?”

“Because I‘m a woman，”she told him.妈妈说：“因为我是女人啊。”

“I don‘t understand，”he said.男孩说：“我不懂。”

His mum just hugged him and said，“And you never will.”他妈妈抱起他说：“你永远不会懂的。”

Later the little boy asked his father，“Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?”后来小男孩就问他爸爸：“妈妈为什么毫无理由的哭呢?”

“All women cry for no reason，”was all his dad could say.他爸爸只能说：“所有女人都这样。”

The little boy grew up and became a man，still wondering why women cry.小男孩长大了，成为一个男人，但他仍就不懂女人为什么哭泣。

Finally he put in a call to God;and when God got on the phone，he asked，“God，why do women cry so easily?”最后，他打电话给上帝;在上帝拿起电话时，他问道：“上帝，女人为什么那么容易哭泣呢?”

God said：“When I made the woman，she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world;yet，gentle enough to give comfort.”上帝回答说：“当我创造女人时，就让她很特别。我使她的肩膀能挑起整个世界;同时却又柔情似水。”

“I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.”“我让她的内心很坚强，能够承受分娩的痛苦，并能多次忍受来自自己孩子的拒绝。”

“I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up，and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.”“我赋予她耐心使她能在别人选择放弃的时候继续坚持着，并且无怨无悔的照顾自己的家人渡过疾病与疲劳。”

“I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances，even when her child has hurt her very badly.”“我赋予她在任何情况下都会爱孩子的感情，即使她的孩子伤害了她。”

“I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.”“我赋予她包容她丈夫过错的坚强，并用他的勒骨塑成她来保护他的心。”

“I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife，but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.”“我赋予她智慧让她知道一个好丈夫是绝不会伤害他的妻子的，但有时我也会考验她支持自己丈夫的坚持与决心。”

“And finally，I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.”“最后，我让她可以流泪。只要她愿意，这是她所独有的。”

“You see，the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears，the figure that she carries，or the way she combs her hair.”“你看，女人的漂亮不是因为她穿的衣服，她保持的体型或者她梳头的方式。”

“The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes，because that is the doorway to her heart，the place where love resides.”“女人的美丽必须要从她的眼睛中去看，因为那是她心灵的窗口，爱居住的地方。”

Every Woman is beautiful.每个女人都美丽。

An Ingenious Love Letter 一封绝妙的情书

There once lived a lad who was deeply in love with a girl， but disliked by the girl‘s father， who didn’t want to see any further development of their love. The lad was eager to write to the girl， yet he was quite sure that the father would read it first. So he wrote such a letter to the girl：

My love for you I once expressed

no longer lasts， instead， my distaste for you

is growing with each passing day. Next time I see you，

I even won‘t like that look yours.

I‘ll do nothing but

look away from you. You can never expect I‘ll

marry you. The last chat we had

was so dull and dry that you shouldn‘t think it

made me eager to see you again.

If we get married， I firmly believe I‘ll

live a hard life， I can never

live happily with you， I‘ll devote myself

but not

to you. No one else is more

harsh and selfish and least

solicitous and considerate than you.

I sincerely want to let you know

what I said is true. Please do me a favor by

ending our relations and refrain from

writing me a reply. Your letter is always full of

things which displease me. You have no

sincere care for me. So long! Please believe

I don‘t love you any longer. Don’t think

I still have a love of you!

Having read the letter， the father felt relieved and gave it to his daughter with a light heart.

The girl also felt quite pleased after she read it carefully， her lad still had a deep love for her.

Do you know why? In fact， she felt very sad when she read the letter for the first time. But she read it for a few more times and ， at last， she found the key C only every other line should be read， that is the first line， the third， the fifth … and so on to the end.

一个小伙子非常爱一位姑娘，但姑娘的父亲却不喜欢他，也不让他们的爱情发展下去。小伙子很想给姑娘写封情书，然而他知道姑娘的父亲会先看，于是他给姑娘写了这样一封信：

我对你表达过的爱

已经消逝。我对你的厌恶

与日俱增。当我看到你时

我甚至不喜欢你的那副样子。

我想做的一件事就是

把目光移往别处，我永远不会

和你结婚。我们的最近一次谈话

枯燥乏味，因此无法使我渴望再与你想见。

假如我们结婚，我深信我将

生活得非常艰难，我也无法

愉快地和你生活在一起，我要把我的心

奉献出来，但决不是

奉献给你。没有人能比你更

苛求和自私，也没有人比你更

关心我帮助我。

我真挚地要你明白，我讲的是真话，请你助我一臂之力

结束我们之间的关系，别试图

答复此信，你的信充满着

使我兴趣索然的事情，怀有

对我的真诚关心。再见，请相信

我并不喜欢你，请你不要以为

我仍然爱着你!

姑娘的父亲
