Gayathri.M　王興敏

Falling through the clear blue sky， pictures of her childhood flashed1 past her eyes， as though a VCR was pushed in rewind2 mode. There she was aged three， building a sandcastle3 on the beach... looking up to see the bright sun shining down on her cute little face. Time flew by as those small little hands changed into sturdier4 ones which were trying to make a castle out of Lego blocks. Moving on， those hands were holding a pen， while she was taking her first major exam. Later on， they were a little relaxed， as they held onto a steerings wheel， driving along with family and friends.

在湛藍(lán)的天空中，童年的畫面在她眼前一閃而過，就像一臺錄像機(jī)被摁下進(jìn)入倒帶模式。她才三歲，正在沙灘上堆沙堡……抬頭看到明亮的陽光照在她可愛的小臉上。時光飛逝，那雙小手變成了更結(jié)實的一雙手，正試著用樂高積木搭一座城堡。接著，那雙手握住了一支筆，當(dāng)時她第一次參加專業(yè)考試。后來，她的雙手稍微放松了一些，握著方向盤，開車載著家人和朋友。

How fast time goes by， she thought. We all come mto this world with a set of dreams， hopes and aspirations6. We want to grow up to achieve7 these dreams and take over the world. But maybe sometimes we forget to enjoy the joumey. Sometimes we get so caught up in achieving these goals， that we fail to find out how fast time moves on. Yes， it is important to follow your dreams and work hard to achieve them. But at the same time， it is also important to take time out for your loved ones， enjoy and cherish8 every moment spent with them. As it is these moments that become few of the most beautiful memories to be cherished for a lifetime！

時間過得真快啊，她想。我們都帶著一系列的夢想、希望和抱負(fù)來到這個世界。我們想在長大后實現(xiàn)這些夢想，征服世界。但也許有時候我們忘記了享受這個過程。有時我們太沉迷于實現(xiàn)這些目標(biāo)，以至于沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)時間過得有多快。是的，追求你的夢想并努力實現(xiàn)它們是很重要的。但與此同時，抽出時間和所愛的人們在一起，享受和珍惜跟他們在一起的每一刻也很重要。正是這些時刻變成了少數(shù)最美好的回憶，值得珍藏一生！

Every day isnt the same. We all wake up with a set of goals， but sometimes there might be something completely different in store for us. The best thing in life is to cherish every moment and do what you love. Perhaps childhood is one of the best examples that show us the true meaning of doing what we love and what makes us smile from our heart.

每一天都不一樣。我們都帶若一系列的目標(biāo)醒來，但有時可能會有一些完全不同的事情等著我們。生命中最好的事情就是珍惜每一刻，做你喜歡的事情。也許童年就是一個最好的例子，告訴我們做自己喜歡的事情和讓自己發(fā)自內(nèi)心微笑的事情所包含的真正意義。

As all of these thoughts were going on in her head， she suddenly felt ajerk9 as though someone was gently trying to wake her up. The dizzylo feeling she had experienced earlier was replaced by happy voices all around her， as a small pink bundle11 was placed in her hands. Looking at the shining face of her newbom daughter， she realized that， perhaps she had a second chance...a chance to relive her childhood once again！

當(dāng)所有這些想法都縈繞在她的腦海里時，她突然感到一陣抽搐，仿佛有人在試圖輕輕喚醒她。當(dāng)粉紅的一團(tuán)被放到她手上時，她先前所經(jīng)歷的那種頭暈的感覺被周圍歡樂的聲音所取代?？粗鴦偝錾呐畠洪W亮的臉，她意識到，也許她擁有了第二次機(jī)會……再一次重溫童年的機(jī)會！
