《生命列车》TheTrainOfLife

1.不久以前，我读了一本书。

书中把人生比作一次旅行。

2.人生一世，就好比是一次搭车旅行，要经历无数次上车、下车;

时常有事故发生;

有时是意外惊喜，有时却是刻骨铭心的悲伤……

3.降生人世，我们就坐上了生命列车。

我们以为我们最先见到的那两个人------我们的父母，会在人生旅途中一直陪伴着我们。

4.很遗憾，事实并非如此。

他们会在某个车站下车，留下我们，孤独无助。

他们的爱、他们的情、他们不可替代的陪伴，再也无从寻找。

5.尽管如此，还会有其他人上车。

他们当中的一些人将对我们有着特殊的意义。

6.他们之中有我们的兄弟姐妹,有我们的亲朋好友。

我们还将会体验千古不朽的爱情故事。

7.坐同一班车的人当中，有的轻松旅行。

8.有的却带着深深的悲哀……还有的,在列车上四处奔忙，随时准备帮助有需要的人…… 

9.很多人下车后，其他旅客对他们的回忆历久弥新……但是，也有一些人，当他们离开座位时，却没有人察觉。

10.有时候，对你来说情深义重的旅伴却坐到了另一节车厢。

你只得远离他，继续你的旅程
