Growing Up〈长大〉

Growing up, it's a natural process that everyone needs to undergo in their life.
长大,是一个很自然的现象,每个人都得经历的现象。

By growing up, we could drink beer without getting scold;
若我们长大了,喝啤酒别人也不会骂我们;

By growing up, peoples won't laugh at us when we're holding an opposite sex's hands;
若我们长大了,我们牵着异性的手,别人也不会觉得很好笑;

By growing up, we could earn our own money, buy anything we like with it, and we don't have to hear our moms mumbling about spending wisely;
若我们长大了,我们就可以自己赚钱,然后用它来买我们喜欢的东西,而且我们也不必去听我们的妈妈在耳边一直念“钱要好好花”一类的话;

By growing up, we get to marry the person we love the most, and our family members won't ask us:"Are you sure? you're just eleven!";
若我们长大了,我们就可以和我们最爱的人结婚,而我们的家人也不会问我们:“你肯定吗?你才十一岁耶!”;

By growing up, we get to have our own babies, and we can tell them that they came from the rubbish dumps, just like what our parents used to told us;
若我们长大了,我们就可以拥有自己的儿女,然后我们就可以告诉他:“你就是从垃圾堆里拾到的~”,就像我们的父母告诉我们的一样;

It sounds great to grow up, there's a lot of privileges only an adult can enjoy, for example, the Playboy magazine;
长大听起来很像很好噢,有很多好处是只有大人才可以享有的,比如说,成人杂志;

A lot of areas only an adult can enter, for example a pub;
很多只有大人才可以进去的地方,比如说酒吧;

A lot of things only an adult is allowed to have, for example condoms;
很多只有大人才可以拥有的东西,比如说安全套;

But, is everyone comfortable with growing up?
但是,是否每一个人都喜欢成长呢?

Do you know that, when we grow up, there are some things that left us for good?
你知道吗,当我们长大的时候,有一些东西永远离开了我们?

One of it is called "Naive".
其中一个就叫做“天真”。

If an adult is still naive, people around him would laugh at him, staring at him like you saw a rare panda walking in the street.
如果有一位成年人还是很天真,他周围的人都会笑他,看着他的眼神就很像你看见一只稀有的熊猫走在街上一样。

A comment for these kind of peoples: Childish.
对于他们这种人,只有一种评语:幼稚。

Another alternative:Hypocrite.
另一个代词:虚伪。

The another thing that would be stolen from you is Sincerity.
另一个会从你身上被偷的东西就是真诚。

If a person is still treating everyone around him sincerely, whole-heartedly, try to guess what his friends would say~
如果有一个人都全心全意地,真诚地对待他身边的朋友,猜猜他身边的人会怎么说~

Naive.
天真。

which comes to the conclusion -- stupid.
而其结论是 -- 笨。

Who is the nasty thief? A lot would ask. I say, it's the Time.
许多人都会问,谁是那可恶的小偷呢?我说呀,那就是时间。

I don't know how to explain it, but everyone seems to grow up lacking that 2 elements.
我不懂要怎么解释,不过每个人在成长的过程里似乎都缺了那两个因素。

Don't ever under-estimate these 2 elements.
千万别小看这两个因素。

They are treasures!
他们可是珍宝!


Christian View(基督徒观点):
Jesus once said, let the child come, for those who wishes to enter the heaven must be like the child!
耶稣曾经说过,让小孩都到我这来,因为凡是要进天国的,都得想着小孩一样!

Why?
为什么?

Because they believe,
因为他们相信,

Without doubt,
毫无疑惑地、

Without questions,
毫无疑问的、

They just believe,
他们就只是相信,

Whole heartedly,
全心地、

Sincerely,
诚心地,

They believe.
他们就这样相信着。

Why can't we believe in God like they did?
为什么我们就不能像他们一样地相信神呢?

Is it that by growing up, our faith reduces gradually too?
是否因为着我们成长了,我们的信心也逐步消退了?

Dear friend, is your bible covered in dust?
亲爱的朋友啊,你的圣经是否被灰尘掩盖了?

Is your heart filled with earthly things?
你的心是否都被属世的事物充满了?

Time to clean the temple of God!
是时候我们来洗净我们上帝的圣殿了!

Clear the room for our Christ to stay in!
为那将要来临的基督预备好位子!

We are going to rock the nation!
我们即将要震撼整个国家!

The time is now!
现在就是时候!

Don't let growing up be an excuse to neglect our dear Lord,
别让成长成为了离开神的借口,

We shall serve with our maturity, our talents, with all we have!
我们要用我们的成熟,我们的恩赐,我们的所有来侍奉我们的神!

Amen?
阿们?

AMEN!
阿们!

心,爱(双语) Heart, Love(Dual Language!)

心,其实是一个很脆弱的物体。
heart, it's actually a fragile object.

它经不起碰撞。它会破碎。
It cannot withstand any tackles, it will shatter.

它经不起抛弃,它会破碎。
It cannot endure abandonment, it will broke.

它经不起打击,它会停止。
It cannot be shocked, it will stop.

说它是玻璃做的,也不太对。玻璃都比它坚硬不少。
Some say heart's made of glass, but i think glasses are much stronger than heart.

所谓心很坚强,其实就是在心的外围筑上围墙,竖起层层的保护。
And for those who says strong will, it's only a wall around the heart, a protection added around it.

心本身很脆弱,根本经不起我们在里面立任何地基。
Because the heart is too weak for us to do anything from within.

如此脆弱的心,一不小心就会摔破的这颗心,却是我们给对方,以表示我们爱他的证据。
But, It's this weak, fragile thing that we gave to people to show that we love them.

当我们真心爱一个人,我们就要把这颗心给他,表示我完全信任你,我的心也属于你。
When we really love someone, we gave them our heart, to tell them that I trust you with all my heart, and that my heart beats for you too.

不止爱情,友情也是如此,只是我们没把心给他们。
Even friendship's almost the same, the only difference is we didn't give our friends our heart.

我们是握在手上,让对方看得见我们是真心要交他这个朋友。
We hold it in our hands, showing them that we are sincere in this friendship.

我突然之间觉得去年升中营里的话剧很有意思。
I felt that the drama shown last year in a camp from my church is meaningful.

我曾经读过一个故事,很有意思的故事:
I've once read of a story, it's a meaningful story:

在一个小镇里,住着一位少年。这位少年有着最完整的心--他的心是没有缺口的。
In a small town there lives a boy. This boy is special, he has a perfect heart -- his heart was never scarred before.

他对这件事感到非常自豪,时常笑别人那些残破的心。
He himself was proud of it, and he always brags of it in the public, showing off how perfect his heart is.

有一天,正当这位少年走在街上,满意地看着那些人众以惭愧的眼神看向他那完整的心,镇里来了一位乞丐。他的心。。。他的心都是缺口啊!
One day, as the boy was walking in the streets, enjoying the shameful looks from the town folks, a beggar came entering the town. That beggar has a heart of course, but... his heart was badly scarred.

这位少年走了过去,问道:“哈哈,这人穷嘛,连心也比别人来得难看的~”。
The boy walked towards the beggar, saying out loudly so that everyone could hear:"When a man is poor, even his heart is so hideous. haha~"

乞丐回答道:“是啊,我的心都是缺口,但是我的人生比你的更精彩啊,少年。”
The beggar replied:"oh yes, it's true that my heart is badly scarred, boy, but my life was much more meaningful than yours."

少年心里感到莫名其妙,怎么乞丐的生活还精彩了?
The boy felt weird, how on earth would a beggar's life is meaningful?

乞丐笑笑说道:“我的心都是缺口,因为我把我的心挖了,去填补别人心上的缺口啊。少年人哪,你这完整的心就代表着你不懂得爱人,你根本不懂得付出,就凭这一点,我的人生就比你精彩啦~”
The beggar replied with a smile:"young man, my heart is scarred like what you see, indeed it is, but it's because i cut it out to fill other people's scars on their heart. A perfect heart like yours proves that you do not know how to love, because you never know how to sacrifice. How could a life be meaningful if it does not know how to love?"


直到最近,我才醒悟:
I've figured these out recently:

原来,爱一个人,要学会牺牲。要真的懂得分别轻重,分辨什么才是最重要。
Loving a person, indicates you must learn to sacrifice. Learn to differentiate which is more important, learn to place priorities in your heart.

原来,爱一个人,要学会忍耐。要懂得迁就。这不是怕老婆,这是尊重。
Loving a person, indicates you must learn to endure. Learn to cope with a couple life. Learn to listen to what your couple says. It's not afraid of our spouse, it's respect.

原来,爱一个人,要懂得为他想。别为难他,别刁难他,别逼他做他不喜欢的事。
Loving a person, indicates that you must learn to think for him. Do not force him to do anything he does not like. Do not purposely setting up tasks for him.

原来,爱一个人,要学会接受。要懂得接纳他的一切,优点、缺点,一切。
Loving a person, indicates you must learn to accept. Learn to accept his advantages, his disadvantages, bad habits, everything.

原来,爱一个人,首先要先懂得分辨喜欢和爱。这样才不会有误会。
Loving a person, must learn to differentiate which is love, which is just affection.

原来,爱一个人,要学会付出,而且要默默地付出。
Loving a person, must learn to pay effort for it.

原来,爱一个人,首先要先学会如何爱。。。
Loving a person, most importantly, must learn on how to love...


对过去的,我不后悔。写这篇文章的用意并不是要再续前缘,只是一个提醒。是一个教训,让我懂得这一切。。。
I dun regret for all the things that occurred in the past. The purpose of having this post is not to continue the past. It is merely a notice, a lesson that taught me all these.

彩色的回忆

我常常听人说,回忆是黑白的。

电视剧,电影也都是这样演的。

只要是回忆的那一段,录了都会剪接成黑白的。

可是,回忆真的是黑白的吗?

刚刚我去了我举办的小学同学聚会,只有9个人哦,全班38人,只有9个人出席。

一些,在外地;一些,不在家乡。一些,不想念我们了吧?

无论如何,我很开心我依然坚持着这个聚会,虽然人数少了点,可是我就很像是走进了一家戏院,里面播着的电影是《2001年6B班回忆录》。

听着他们说起以前的事,各样的回忆都涌上心头~

我还真的很喜欢我小学时的生活呢~总觉得小学里的那些,才是真正的朋友(并不是说上了中学那些中学的朋友或大学的朋友不是真正的朋友。)。

谁说回忆只有黑色和白色而已??

我看见的回忆,充满了很多现实世界里不存在的颜色呢~

开心的回忆,是属于一种很欢乐的颜色,有点红,又有些点缀似的金光闪闪。

伤心的回忆,是属于一种有点沉重的暗蓝色,再加上有点灰的阴霾。

不一样的回忆,有不一样的颜色。

怎么能够只是黑白呢?

好开心哦,这次的聚会,真的很好~让我看见了很多平常看不见的颜色。大家都好吗?都健康吗?今年见不到你们的,希望明年,我们能够相见咯~

别让我们所存的记忆只剩下黑与白,来聚一聚吧,从新为你的记忆上色~
