浙江天台山的山峰是青黛色的,犹如竖起的画屏。远客纷沓而至,观其美景。
The peaks of Tiantai Mountain in Zhejiang are green and black. They stand like an ornamental screen. People come from far away to enjoy the scenery here.
几千年来,这些秀丽的山峰上都建有许多的寺庙。有一个大庙的主持名叫智顗,约生活在公元539-597年间。因为他的智慧,隋炀帝赐封他为智者大师,这个名字至今仍为人们所知。
For thousands of years, there have been many temples in these beautiful mountains. The head of a big temple there was called Zhiyi. He lived from about 539 to 597 AD. Because he was so wise, the Emperor Yang of the Sui dynasty gave him the title The Wise Master, and this is how he is known even today.
当时,智者大师觉得时下之人过于残忍,尤其是满足口腹之欲时。他们可以杀掉任何活物,然后吃掉。
At the time, The Wise Master felt that people were too cruel, especially when they wanted something to eat. They would kill almost anything that moved and eat it.
他觉得必须做点什么。但怎么做呢?僧侣们又没有钱。所以智者大师开始化缘,几年后,他终于攒了足够的钱。他拿这笔钱买了一块地,并雇了一些人来帮他建一个池子。
He decided something had to be done. But how? Monks don't have any money. So The Wise Master became a beggar for several years until he finally got enough money to get some land and hire some workers to build him a pond.
人们看到后,纷纷嘲笑智者大师其实是个傻瓜!
When people saw that, they laughed and said The Wise Master is pretty dumb!
大师是智者,所以他一点也不在乎别人的嘲笑,继续建造他的池塘。
Because he was so wise, The Wise Master didn't care how much they laughed at him. He kept up work on his pond.
工人们休息时,大师就向他们宣讲佛教。他说:“佛经上说‘一切众生皆有佛性。’你也许会对一条鱼或者一只螃蟹不以为然,但是它们也能成佛。”
When the workers had spare time, he told them about Buddhism. He said, "The sutras (the holy books of Buddhism) say, 'All living creatures have Buddha nature.' You may not think much of a fish or a crab, but they too can become Buddhas.
“野生动物也同样有佛性。如果一个人被野兽所杀,我们觉得很悲惨,我们会为那个人觉得难过。你们有没有想过,当你们杀了一条鱼,其他的鱼也认为这很悲惨,同样也会为这条鱼感到难过吗?”
"Wild animals all have Buddha natures, too. If somebody gets killed by a wild animal, we think it's tragic. We feel sorry for that person. Hasn't it ever occurred to you that when you kill a fish, the other fish think it's tragic, and feel sorry for the dead fish?"
智者大师解释说,他之所以要挖一个池塘,就是为了让人们有地方将鱼蟹放生,而鱼蟹也可以安居乐命。他把他的池塘起名为放生池。
The Wise Master explained that he was making a pond so anybody who had a fish or crab could have a place to release it and let it live out its life in peace. He called his pond the Free Life Pond.
工人们都被感动了,那些曾经嘲笑智者大师的人也为自己的自私感到羞愧。他们全都皈依了佛教,并且再也不杀生吃肉了。
The workmen were moved, and the people who had laughed at him felt sorry for being so mean. They became Buddhists, and stopped killing animals to eat their meat.
其他的寺庙也沿袭了智者大师的做法。如果你有机会参观中国的佛寺,你很可能会看到放生池,里面生活着无忧无虑的鱼、蟹和乌龟等,这些动物也不用担心被人吃掉。
Other temples copied his idea. If you have a chance to visit a Chinese Buddhist temple, you can probably see their Free Life Pond, full of happy fish and crabs and turtles that are safe from the worry of being cooked and eaten.

A father had four sons. One went to the big city,where he became a wealthy businessman,the other three remained in their home town. When their father passed away,the successful son was too busy to attend the funeral,but he told his brothers to spare no expense,since he would pay all the costs.
一位父亲有四个儿子。一个儿子到了大城市成了一位富商,另外三个儿子留在了家乡。当父亲过世时,有钱的儿子太忙无法前来参加葬礼。但他吩咐其兄弟们,不要舍不得花钱,一切费用由他来支付。
Shortly thereafter,the wealthy son received an bill for $5,000 from the funeral director,which he paid. But every month afterward he got a bill for $27. Curious about this little item, he wrote to his brothers and asked the reason for the monthly charge.”You told us that we should spare no expense,“his brothers wrote back.“Since you said Dad would like to be in style,we rented him a tuxedo."
事隔不久,做富商的儿子从殡仪馆主管那儿收到了一张5000美元的发票,他付了帐。从这以后,他每月都收到一张27美元的帐票。他对这笔微薄的开销有点儿好奇,于是就写信给其兄弟,想知道其中的原因。
他的兄弟们写回信告诉他:“你告诉我们不必节省。既然你说爸爸的穿着要高稚脱俗,所以我们为他租了一套黑色礼服。”

Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe there's still a chance, but the wife was frowning when she answer. "This is always the problem, you always think so highly of yourself, never thought about how I feel, don't you know that I hate drumsticks?”
Little did she know that, over the years, the husband have been trying all ways to please her, little did she know that drumsticks was the husband's favorite.
Little did he know that she never thought he understand her at all, little did he know that she hates drumsticks even though all he wants is the best for her.

Phone's ringing, she refuses to answer knowing that it's him. "What’s the point of talking now that it's over. I have asked for it and now. I want to keep it this way, if not I will lose face. "She thought. Phone still ringing. She has decided to pull out the cord.
Little did she remember, he had heart problems.
The next day, she received news that he had passed away. She rushed down to his apartment, saw his body, lying on the couch still holding on to the phone. He had a heart attack when he was still trying to get thru her phone line.
As sad as she could be. She will have to clear his belongings. When she was looking thru the drawers, she saw this insurance policy, dated from the day they got married, beneficiary is her. Together in that file there's this note.
"To my dearest wife, by the time you are reading this, I'm sure I'm no longer around, I bought this policy for you, though the amount is only $100k, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that I have made when we got married, I might not be around anymore, I want this amount of money to continue taking care of you, just like the way I will if I could have live longer. I want you to know I will always be around, by your side. I love you."

While vacationing in the Hawaiian Islands, I visited the World War II memorial atop the sunken U. S. battleship Arizona,a monument to those who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor. On board, I slipped on a stair-way and injured my thumb.

Back home,with the thumb still not healing properly,I called my doctor for an appointment. When I was asked the nature of my illness,I thought I' d give the background and began,"I was injured at Pearl Harbor..."

A man walks into a bar with a Leprechaun on his shoulder. He walks up the bar and sets on down. He proceeds to order a beer for himself and for the little Leprechaun. Well, the guy and the Leprechaun drink about two beers when finally the Leprechaun jumps down off the guy' s shoulder, trots down the bar and stands in front of a rather large construction worker. He looks at the construction worker and goes, "ppphhhbbbttttttt" right to the big guy's face.
一个男人和他肩上的小精灵一起走进了酒吧。他走到吧台前坐下,然后为自己和他肩上的小精灵点了两杯啤酒。他们喝完了两杯啤酒之后,小精灵从那个男人的肩上跳下来跑到了吧台的另一边,站在了一个大块头的建筑工人面前。小精灵看着那个建筑工人,正对着他的脸说:“呸呸呸。”
Well the Leprechaun trots on back and hops back onto his buddy's shoulder. The construction worker is a little ticked, but decides to shine on this breach of manners.
之后那个小精灵跑回了带他来的那个男人的肩上。那个建筑工人有一点生气,但是出于礼貌就没动声色。
After another beer and a half though,the Leprechaun hops down and again goes in front of the construction worker and goes, "ppphhhbbbbttt" to the construction workers face.

I had been doing Tech Support for Hewlett-Packard's DeskJet division for about a month when I had a customer call with a problem I just couldn't solve. She could not print yellow. All the other colors would print fine, which truly baffled me because the only true colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow. I had the customer change ink cartridges,delete and reinstall the drivers. Nothing worked. I asked my coworkers for help; they offered no new ideas. After over two hours of troubleshooting, I was about to tell the customer to send the printer in to us for repair when she asked quietly, "Should I try printing on a piece of white paper instead of yellow paper?"
我在惠普公司打印机部做技术支持工作已经有一个月了,有一天我接到一位客户的电话,她的问题我没办法解决。她的问题是:打印机不能打出来黄色,但是其它颜色都正常。这让我觉得很纳闷,因为三原色就是蓝、红、黄。我建议客户更换墨盒、删了驱动程序然后重新安装,但是都没有效果。我咨询同事们,他们也不知道该怎么办。经过两个多小时的交涉,我打算让客户把打印机寄给我们,这时候她平静地说了一句:“我是不是应该把这张黄纸扔了换一张白纸再打印试试。”
