一只泪流满面的猴子
这只猴子没有父母和亲人，缺乏管教成了他最大的缺点。

当他日益强大的时候，这个缺点给了他一个终生难忘的教训，他被一个叫释迦的和尚用一座大山压了五百年。

我在一本名叫《西游记》的书里读到关于这只猴子的故事。

他后来被另一个姓唐的和尚救了，他被用来保护姓唐的和尚去取一本据说要经过很多艰险才能取到的经书。

经书当然取到了，而他据说也成了正果。

这个故事具有很强的趣味性，几乎欺骗了我整个童年。

多年以后，我给我的孩子又讲这只猴子的故事，讲到他被救了之后，保护师傅历尽艰险去西天取经。

孩子忽然对我说：“孙悟空真可怜。

”
我有些不解，问孩子为什么。

孩子说，他干吗要跟着一个什么都不会的笨师傅去取一本不知道拿来做什么的破经呢？他应该再大闹天宫。

那一天，我整夜都不能入睡，黎明的时候，我似乎又看到那张小时候经常出现在梦中的脸，他当然还是一张猴脸。

他泪流满面。

译文：
A Tearful Monkey
Once upon a time, there was a monkey. Having no parents or any other blood relations, he had not had upbringing of any kind. When he became magically powerful and uncontrollably wild, this fatal weakness of his taught him the lesson of his life: He was held down close to the ground for 500 years by a big mountain brought to bear on him by a master Buddha…
I read about this monkey in a novel entitled The Pilgrimage to the West. This monkey, the novel recounted, was released by a monk surnamed Tang, and was accepted by the latter as one of his dispels and escorts to accompany him on his adventure. After overcoming untold hardships and braving incredible dangers, the monk got the scriptures ans the monkey became a Buddha too.
This story is so interesting that it almost beguiled the whole of my childhood.
Many, many years later, I started to amuse my kid with the same story. One day, when I came to the formidable ordeals the monkey underwent while performing his duty, my son suddenly murmured, “Monkey King is really very pitiable!”
Surprised, I asked why. H e replied, “What‟s the point of accompanying a goo-for-nothing master on his trip to get those worthless scriptures？He should have rebelled again.”
This answer kept me awake the whole of that night. As day was breaking, I seemed to see again the face which often appeared in my dream while I myself was a kid, the face of that monkey of course.
The monkey is weeping!

我喝我的清茶
他饮他的花酒，我喝我的清茶。

人生需要一种境界：自我安定。

面对别人的成功与荣耀，我喝我的清茶，我明白那掌声已有所属，匆匆忙忙赶过去，不会有成功等着你，还是自己再创业绩吧，跟着别人永远只能摸着成功的尾巴。

凡事不逃避，我喝我的清茶。

荷花居污泥而不染，若为怕水污而种在旱地上，它早就枯死了。

人生也一样，避恶、避丑、避邪，只能说明自己心灵脆弱。

一个自我安定的人是不怕环境污染自己的，而有力量影响他人。

古代孟母三迁是为了怕孩子受坏影响，要为自己就没必要逃避了，后来孟子长大成人后也没听说孟母再搬家。

自我安定可不是找一个安宁的所在，而恰恰是在紊乱的环境中保持安定的心境。

“定”是一种境界，是居于多变之中的不动摇。

只有达到这一境界才能掌握自己的方向，才能做到“他饮他的花酒，我喝我的清茶。

”
译文：
Contenting Myself with Plain Tea
Human life，it seems to me, needs a placidity of mind. While others may be wining and dining, I‟m content with plain tea.
Not dazzled by other people‟s aura of success and glamour, I‟ll indulge in my simple pleasure. Clearly aware where the credit goes, I won‟t j oin in the rush hope of accepting the prize to be handed to me on a plate. The best a blind follower can do is tailing after the winners. The only alternative is to create wonders of one‟s own.
I stick to the pureness of my pleasure, never escaping from reality. The lotus grows in the mud without being tainted. If, to avoid the dirt, one plants it on dry
clean ground, it simply won‟t grow. The same holds true for human beings. Shrinking from what is ugly, vile and evil only proves the frailty of one‟s character. A person in full possession of mental serenity never stands in fear of being mentally contaminated by the filthy environment. On the contrary, he can exercises positive influences all around. Mencius‟s mother made three removals during his childhood to keep him away from bad influences, which did not pose any problem for her. History does not record any more of such removals after he grew up.
Enjoying the tranquility of mind does not mean hiding oneself in a haven. What is meant is the maintenance of such a mental state in the midst of chaos, i.e. moral immovability amidst kaleidoscopic changes. Only a person who has attained this plane can be a real master of his destiny, contenting himself with the purest and simplest pleasure.

一点九
会议室里弥漫着浓烈的烟雾，如在座各位的思绪，混沌、缭绕。

地区“创三优”检查团给该县的总评分是九十八点一，很使县“五四三”活动委员会的委员们疑惑，全地区十个县，他们县夺魁呼声一直很高，何处被扣了一点九分？
沉默、迷惑、沉闷。

这另人费解的一点九分。

委员会主任眨巴着眼睛，细细地琢磨着：“只少一点九？……一点九……”
坐在身边的县政府办公室主任突然受了启发，说：“九十八点一，只少一点九……对了！”忽然，主任拍案而起，嚷到：“是不是我们接待吃饭少了一点酒！”
“一点九”------- “一点酒”！众人顿开茅塞。

饮食服务公司经理忙站起来说：“怪不得哩，检查团长一来就说，这次评比，十拿九稳。

”
“食拿酒——稳。

”委员会再次陷入沉默、迷惑、沉闷之中。

译文：
One Point Nine
The conference room was filled with thick tumbling smoke, as were the minds of the conferees with confused thoughts.
The group sent by the Prefecture to inspect the “3-good”* gave the county 98.1 points in total. This very much perplexed the members of the committee responsible for the promotion of spiritual civilization. Of the ten counties in the prefecture, their county had been the most hopeful of winning the competition/ of getting full marks. Why had they taken off one point nine?
Silence, bewilderment and oppressive atmosphere in the room, everyone was racking their brains over the missing one point nine.
“Only one point nine short, … one point nine, …” the comm ittee chairman was puzzling over the problem, blinking his eyes and murmuring the figure.
“Ninety-eight point one, one point nine short,…” echoed the director of the County Government Office sitting nearby. Suddenly he had an inspiration. Giving the table a loud thump, he shot up from his seat, and yelled, “I‟ve got it! It must be because there was no wine at the welcome banquet.”
“One pot of wine saved” means “one point nine deducted”. That at once opened the eyes of everybody to the crux of the problem.
“No wonder,” the manager of the Catering Services Corporation also rose to speak, “the Manager of the Prefecture Corporation hinted to me the moment he came, …Treat the guests fine and everything will be fine.‟”
“Wine and dine, and everything will be fine!”
Silence, bewilderment and oppressive atmosphere again dominated the room.

敲碎空酒瓶
每逢佳节，亲朋相聚。

我家先生的同事、朋友来访少不了喝上几杯。

每当此时，先生总是将平时珍藏的好酒，拿出来与朋友们品尝共享。

前几年，喝的是50多元一瓶的泸州老窖特曲，最近一次先生拿出了一瓶150多元的剑南春，朋友们仔细检查外包装、内包装后认定这是一瓶真的好酒，有位懂行的朋友说：剑南春这酒价格逐年涨，据说空酒瓶外包装盒有人回收，能卖到20-30元钱。

围绕着空瓶如何处理，有的朋友说放在家中当样品陈列，有的朋友说当废品丢掉，我家先生一番高论：我们家喝完的酒瓶，先将外包装扯坏，瓶颈用铁锤敲坏，才当垃圾丢掉，否则让那些造假酒的人拿去装上假酒，说不定哪一天就喝上呢。

几位朋友一致赞成，兄弟高见，我们今后也这么做，打假就从这敲碎空酒瓶做起。

Smash the Emptied Liquor Bottle!
Festivals are great occasions for happy get-togethers. Whenever my husband‟s friends and colleagues come for a visit on such an occasion, they are bound to have a drink, and he is bound to treat them to the best brew he has been saving for a long time.
A couple of years ago, they drank century-old special liquor, Luzhou
Laojiao, which costs more than 50 yuan a bottle. At a recent party, my husband produced a bottle of Jiannanchun priced at more than 150 yuan.The host and guests very carefully examined the packing and wrapping and gave the verdict that it was genuine. One guest who is more knowledgeable in this aspect enlightened us thus, “The price of this brand rises with each year. They say there are purchasers of such packing boxes and emptied bottles, and each set can fetch as much as 20 to 30 yuan.”
Consequently a discussion arose as to how to dispose of the emptied container.
Some suggested that it be used as an ornament, while others said it should be thrown into the dustbin. My better half acquainted the guests with the way we dispose of liquor bottles. “We usually tear up the wrapping, smash the bottleneck with a hammer and then throw it into the dustbin.”“Otherwise,”he added by way of warning, “someday we might be drinking false Jiannanchun from this very container.”
Our friends all applauded our practice, complimented my man on his wonderful foresight and decided to follow suit in the future.
“Striking hard at producers of counterfeit products should start from smashing emptied liquor bottles,” is the unanimous opinion.。
