每日英语:The colors of friendship(2)
The colors of friendship(2)Orange started next to blow her trumpet:
"I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."
橙色紧接着开始自吹自擂:“我是健康和力量的颜色。我可能稀少,但是很珍贵,因为我能满足人类生命的需要。我含有最重要的维生素。想想胡萝卜、南瓜、橙子、芒果,还有木瓜。我没有一直闲着,当日出或日落时,天空涂满橙色,我的美丽让人震撼,那时没有人会想到你们。”
Red could stand it no longer he shouted out:
"I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."
红色再也控制不住了,他大声嚷道:“我是你们所有颜色的统治者。我是血--生命的颜色!我是危险和勇敢的颜色。我愿意为伟大的事业而奋斗。我把满腔热情融进血液。如果没有我,地球将像月球一样空空如也。我是激情和爱情的颜色,是红玫瑰、猩猩木和罂粟的颜色。”
Purple rose up to his full height:
He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom.
People do not question me! They listen and obey."
紫色有高大的身躯,他伸展全身站起来,用洪亮的声音说道:“我是王位和权力的颜色。国王、首领、主教总是选择紫色,因为我是权威和智慧的象征。人们从来不质疑我!他们只是聆听和服从。”
Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination:
"Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."
最后,青色说话了,他比起其他的颜色显得安静很多,但其语气也非常坚定:“想想我。我是寂静的颜色。你们几乎注意不到我,但是如果没有我,你们将变得肤浅。我代表思索和反省、黄昏和深水。
你们需要我作为反衬来取得平衡,需要把我作为祈祷文来求得内心的安宁。”
