英語(yǔ)教材：對(duì)半理論，50%的希望,,,Ibelieveinthe"50-percenttheory".Halfthetimethingsarebetterthannormal;theotherhalf,theyareworse.Ibelievelifeisapendulumswing.Ittakestimeandexperiencetounderstandwhatnormalis,andthatgivesmetheperspectivetodealwiththesurprisesofthefuture.我信奉“對(duì)半理論”。生活時(shí)而無(wú)比順暢，時(shí)而倒霉透頂，好壞參半。我覺(jué)得生活就像來(lái)回晃動(dòng)的鐘擺。讀懂生活的常態(tài)需要時(shí)間和閱歷，也正是這樣才練就了我面對(duì)未來(lái)榮辱不驚的生活態(tài)度。Letsbenchmarktheparameters:Yes,Iwilldie.Ivedealtwiththedeathsofbothparents,abestfriend,a,,belovedbossandcherishedpets.Someofthesedeathshavebeenviolent,beforemyeyes,orslowandagonizing.Badstuff,anditbelongsatthebottomofthescale.讓我們掂量這些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴：是的，我注定會(huì)死去。我已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷了雙親的仙逝，一位友人的亡故，一位敬愛(ài)的老板的離逝，還有心愛(ài)寵物的死亡。當(dāng)中一些變故突如其來(lái)，直擊眼前；有些卻長(zhǎng)期折磨，痛苦不堪。糟糕的事兒，它們駐留谷底。Thentherearethosehighpoints:romanceandmarriagetotherightperson;havingachildanddoingthoseDadthingslikecoachingmysonsbaseballteam,paddling,愛(ài)愛(ài)休閑按摩會(huì)所,,aroundthecreekintheboatwhilehesswimmingwiththedogs,discoveringhiscompassionsodeepitmanifestseveninhiskindnesstosnails,hisimaginationsovividhebuildsaspaceshipfromascatteredpileofLegos.當(dāng)然生活也不乏熠熠光彩：墜入愛(ài)河締結(jié)良緣；養(yǎng)育幼子身為人父，訓(xùn)練兒子的棒球隊(duì)，當(dāng)他和狗在水中嬉戲時(shí)，搖槳?jiǎng)澊罢昂箢?，感受他如此?qiáng)烈的同情心——即使對(duì)蝸牛也善待有加，發(fā)現(xiàn)他如此活躍的想像力——即使零散的積木也能堆出太空飛船。Butthereisavastmeadowoflifeinthemiddle,wherethebadandthegoodflip-flopacrobatically.Thisiswhat,,convincesmetobelieveinthe50-percenttheory.但在它們發(fā)生期間有一片寬廣的草坪，在那兒上演的各種好事壞事像耍雜技一樣地翻新。這就是讓我信服對(duì)半理論的原因。OnespringIplantedcorntooearlyinabottomlandsoflood-pronethatneighborslaughed.Ifeltchagrinedatthewastedeffort.Summerturnedbrutal--theworstheatwaveanddroughtinmylifetime.Theair-conditionerdied,thewellwentdry,themarriageended,thejoblost,themoneygone.Iwaslivinglyricsfromacountrytune--musicIloathed.OnlyasurgingKansasCityRoyalsteam,boundfortheirfirstWorldSeries,,,buoyedmyspirits.有一年春天，我在一片容易被淹的低洼地過(guò)早種下了玉米，鄰居們都為此嘲笑我。一番心血付之東流讓我懊惱不已。接著我生命中最難熬的酷暑來(lái)臨了--熱浪襲人，釀至旱災(zāi)?？照{(diào)失靈，水井枯竭，婚姻破裂，慘遭失業(yè)，積蓄揮空。我正經(jīng)歷某個(gè)鄉(xiāng)村調(diào)頻描繪的情節(jié)，我討厭這種音樂(lè)。只有一支人氣攀升的堪薩斯皇家棒球隊(duì)的小組因他們的第一次出征世界大賽團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)使我精神振奮。Lookingbackonthathorriblesummer,Isoonunderstoodthatallsucceedinggoodthingsmerelyoffsetthebad.Worsethannormalwouldntlastlong.Iamowedandsavorthehalcyontimes.Theyreinvigorateme,愛(ài)愛(ài)休閑按摩會(huì)所,,forthenextnastysurpriseandofferassurancethatIcanthrive.The50percenttheoryevenhelpsmeseehopebeyondmyRoyalsrecentslump,afieldofstrugglingrookiessownsothatsomeyearsoonwecanreapanOctoberharvest.回想那個(gè)可怕的夏天，我不久就明白了所有的好事壞事不過(guò)是正負(fù)抵消。不順心的境遇不會(huì)延宕過(guò)久。太平時(shí)光是我應(yīng)得的，我要盡情享受。它們給我新的活力以應(yīng)對(duì)突如其來(lái)的險(xiǎn)境，并確保我再度輝煌。對(duì)半理論甚至幫我在我喜愛(ài)的皇家棒球隊(duì)最近的低潮中看到希望——這是一塊艱難行進(jìn)的新手們耕耘的土地，播種了，假以時(shí)日我們就可以收獲十月的金秋。,,Oh,yeah,thecorncrop?Forthatoneblisteringsummer,thegroundmoisturewasjustright,plantingearlyallowedpollinationbeforeheat,witheredthetops,andthelackofrainsparedthestandingcornfromfloods.Thatwintermycriboverflowedwithcorn--fat,healthythree-to-a-stalkearsfilledwithkernelsfromheeltotip--whilemyneighborsfieldsyieldedonlybrown,emptyhusks.哦，對(duì)了，玉米收成？就那年炎熱的夏天，莊稼地的濕度恰到好處，過(guò)早的種植使授粉避開(kāi)酷熱在頂梢干枯前完成，雨水稀少使地里長(zhǎng)著的玉米免遭水災(zāi)。那年冬天，我的糧倉(cāng)里堆滿了玉米--飽滿結(jié)實(shí)的玉米每株稈上結(jié)三個(gè)，每個(gè)玉米從底到頂端長(zhǎng)滿了玉米粒--而我的鄰居們地里長(zhǎng),,出來(lái)的只是暗沉干癟的殼。Althoughplantingspastmayhavefallenbelowthe50-percentexpectation,andtheyprobablywillagaininthefuture,Iamstillsustainedbythecropthatflourishesduringthedrought.盡管過(guò)去播種的收獲沒(méi)有達(dá)到50％的期望，而且將來(lái)也可能是這樣，我仍然要為經(jīng)歷旱季依然豐收的玉米而堅(jiān)守陣地。,
