31、tolurchforwardandwalkunsteadilyHestumbledovertheedgeofthecarpetandfell.第26页那是新年夜晚,一位老人站在窗前。他满眼哀伤地望着深监色天空,在那里,星星如清澈平静湖面上朵朵漂动白莲;接着他将目光投向地面,那儿除了他还有几个绝望人正走向人生终点坟墓。在通往人生终点道路上,他已走过了60多段,除了过失和悔恨,他一无所获。现在,他身体欠佳,精神空虚,心情忧伤,晚年缺乏安逸。青春岁月如梦普通出现在他眼前,他回想起父亲将他放在人生岔路口上庄重时刻。当初,他面前有两条路:一条通向安宁、阳光灿烂地方,那里处处充满了鲜花瓜果,充满着柔和甜美
32、歌声;另一条则通向黑暗无底深渊,那里流淌不是清水而是毒液,那里魔鬼和毒蛇发出嘶嘶声迟缓爬行。他仰视天空痛苦地哭喊着:“哦,青春,你回来吧!哦,父亲,请把我重新放到人生路口上吧,我会做出更加好选择。”然而他父亲和他青春都已一去不复返。第27页他看见灯光消逝在黑暗中,那便是他虚度时光;他看见一颗星星从空中陨落,消失了,那是象征了他自己。悔恨如同一支利箭,深深地刺进他心脏。接着,他记起童年时代朋友,他们曾与他一同踏上人生道路,但他们现已取得成功,受到人们尊敬,此刻正在幸福中欢度新年。教堂高塔上钟敲响了,这使他回想起父母在他年幼时对他爱,他们曾给予他教诲并为了他幸福祈祷上帝。可他偏偏选择了一条错误道路
33、惭愧和悲伤使他再也不敢面对他父亲所在天堂。他双眼黯然无光,充满着泪水,在绝望中,他大声哭喊:“回来吧,我青春!回来吧!”青春真回来了,因为以上全部一切只是他在新年夜所做一场梦。他还年轻,当然他确实犯有过失;但还未堕入深渊;他依然能够自由地走上通向安宁和光明之地道路。那些依然在人生路口徘徊,不知该不该选择光明大道年轻人啊,你们一定要记住:当许多年过后,你们在黑暗群山中艰难行走之时,再痛心疾首地呼唤:“哦,回来吧、青春!哦,把我青春时光还给我!”,只会是徒劳无益。第28页-the deep,dark cave,endless,poison flowed instead of water.-mou
