The most beautiful heart.[双语对照朗读]

好久没有更新了因为现在租房住在学校旁边麦克风丢在家里所以这次是用耳机录的音质不是很好 不过这么久了总算是克服了懒惰录了一期 上午看到听友留言说每天靠我的声音睡觉 说实话很意外 没想到这个专辑真的给你们带来了一份宁静 所以我想以后我一定会常更新。

One day a young man declared that he had

the most beautiful heart in the world. A large 

crowd flocked to admire his heart for it was perfect. There was not a flaw (瑕疵) in it.

Suddenly, an old man appeared and said."Why, your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine."

The crowd and the young man looked at the

old man's heart. It was full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right, and there were several jagged (锯齿状的) edges, In fact, in some places there were deep gouges (孔洞) where whole pieces were missing.

The young man laughed, "Comparing your

heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars."

"Yes," said the old mnan, "Yours looks per

fect. but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the empty place in my heart.

But because the pieces aren't exact, I have

some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his or her heart to me. These are the empty gouges-giving love is taking a chance.

Although these gouges are painful, they stay

open, reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I hope sorneday they may return and fill the space I have been waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"

The young man walked up to the old man,reached into his perfect heart, and ripped a piece

out. He offered it to the old man.

The old man placed it in his heart, then took

a piece from bis old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.

The voung man looked at his heart, not per-

fect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.

They embracedand walked away side by side.
