天上的星星会说话吗？
Can the Stars in the Sky Speak?

一个6岁的小女孩问妈妈：“花儿会说话吗？”妈妈回答：“如果花儿都不会说话，那么春天得多寂寞呀！”小女孩又问爸爸：“天上的星星会说话吗？”爸爸回答：“星星要是都会说话，天堂可得多么嘈杂。”“孩子，我希望你长大以后成为一个优雅的女人，像花儿一样明亮艳丽，也像星星一样缄默睿智。”


A 6-year-old girl asked her mother, “Can flowers speak?”
“Oh, my dearie, if flowers can’t speak, how lonely the spring is, who will look around it?” The little girl smiled with satisfaction.
一个6岁的小女孩问妈妈：“花儿会说话吗？”
“喔，孩子，花儿如果不会说话，春天该有多么寂寞啊，谁还会对春天翘首以待？”小女孩满意的笑了。

At the age of 16, the girl asked her father, “Can the stars in the sky speak?”
“Oh, my daughter, if the stars can speak, the sky will be noisy, who will yearn towards the serene paradise?” The little girl smiled with satisfaction again.
小女孩长到16岁，问爸爸：“天上的星星会说话吗？”
“喔，孩子，星星若能说话，天上就会一片嘈杂，谁还会向往天堂静穆的乐园？”小女孩又满意地笑了。

At the age of 26, the girl had become a full-blown female. One day she asked in private her husband, a diplomat, “Was the way I behave and spoke appropriate at the banquet last night?”
女孩到了26岁，已经是一个成熟的女性。一天，她悄悄地问做外交官的丈夫：“在昨晚的宴会上，我的举止言谈得体吗？”
“Great!” the diplomat had no intention of flattering, “When you spoke, it was like the tinkling spring or the melodious music; though you spoke so much, it was not unnecessary; when you were silent, you were like a fragrant lotus or an elegant crane; though quiet, it involved everything...Sweetheart, can you tell me how you cultivate yourself?”

“棒极了！”外交官毫无吹捧之意，“你说话时，像叮咚的泉水、悠扬的乐曲，虽千言而不繁；你静处时，似浮香的荷、优雅的鹤，虽静音而传千言......亲爱的，能告诉我你是怎样修炼的吗？”

His wife said with a smile, “At the age of 6, I learned from my mother as a teacher how to dialogue with Nature. At the age of 16, i learned from my father as a writer when to speak and when not. Honey, I have also received thoughts, wisdom, courage, views and love from you !”
他的妻子微笑着说：“在我6岁的时候，我的母亲教会了我如何与大自然进行交流，当我16岁时，我从我的父亲那里学会了何时表达言语何时保持缄默。亲爱的，我亦从你身上收获了思想、智慧、勇气、观点与爱！”
