双语阅读：一支笔引出的生命之思考

　　以下是小编整理的哲理类英语美文欣赏：一支笔引出的生命之思考， 希望对你有所启发。

　　Suppose someone gave you a pen – a sealed, solid-colored pen.

　　假如有人送你一支笔，一支不可拆卸的单色钢笔.

　　You couldn’t see how much ink it had. It might rundry after the first few tentative words or last justlong enough to create a masterpiece (or several)that would last forever and make a difference in thescheme of things. You don‘t know before you begin.

　　你看不出里面究竟有多少墨水。或许在你试探性地写上几个字后它就会枯干，或许足够用来创作一部影响深远的不朽巨著(或是几部)。而这些，在动笔前，都是无法得知的。

　　Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance!

　　Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using thepen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.

　　But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?

　　但是，如果你决定要用它的话，那么会用它来做什么呢?你将怎么来进行这个游戏呢?

　　或者你只是手里拿着笔，一头扎进去写，不停地写，艰难地随着文字汹涌的浪涛而随波逐流?

　　Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, orwould you pretend or believe (or pretend to believe) that the pen will write forever andproceed accordingly?

　　你会小心谨慎的写字，好象这支笔在下一个时刻就可能会干枯;还是装做相信这支笔能够永远写下去而信手写来呢?
