Answer 1

00Help Others,Help Yourself
00助人助己
00Have you ever had a day ,when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago ,I was having one of those days. I was discouraged, weary, and plain sad. My focus was on me ,me,me. After all, no one else was esperiencing the same trials as I was.
00I expressed my downcast state to my mother,hoping for some pity. instead,she said,"I heard Lily was having a difficult day too. Why don't you make her some cookies and we'll take them to her this afterroom?" I didn't really want to, but decided that Ididn't want to go back to my other problems just yet. I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate.Then I made a card with a wunflower on it and wrote a small note of empathy.
00That afternoon we droped by my friend's house. i went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Lily came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit.Before she could say anything I rushed,"I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better."The look that came over Lily's face was one that I could never put into words.It was as if a darkened shy was wuddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.
00I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that James Barrie attempeted to describe."Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others,caanot keep it from themselves."
00译文：你有没有这样的一天，事事都不如人意，没有一件事让你开心？不久前，我就有过这么一天。我气馁、疲倦，悲伤挥之不去。我的注意力就是我自己、自己、自己。毕竟，没有任何人经历我所遭受的磨难。我向母亲说出了沮丧的心境，希望得到一点同情。而她开口说的是：“我听说莉莉今天也不大开心。你为什么不做些曲奇饼，下午我们给她送去？”我并不想做曲奇饼，但决定还是暂时别回到自己的问题中去。于是，我做了曲奇饼，并把它们摆放到一个小盘子里。然后我还做了一张卡片，上面画了一朵向日葵，还写了几句安慰的话语。那天下午我们去了我朋友莉莉的家。我走到门前按响了门钤。不一会，莉莉来开门，惊奇的看着我，没料到我们会到访。没等她开口，我先急急地对她说：“我听说你不开心，决定给你带点东西来。”莉莉脸上浮现的表情是我无法用语言描述的。好像原来乌云密布的天空顷刻间雨过天晴，金光四射；好像就因为这么个小小的举动，她的这一天就亮堂直来了。我回到我们的车子里，也不知是什么奇妙的原因，我自己也感觉好多了。那天，我的经历正如同詹姆斯.巴里曾试图描述的：“给他人带去阳光的人，自己也会沐浴在阳光之中。”
