英语短文欣赏
铺满钻石的土地AcresofDiamonds
TherewasafarmerinAfricawhowashappyandcontent.Hewashappybecausehewascontent.Hewascontentbecausehewashappy.
从前在非洲有一位快乐而满足的农夫。
他因满足而快乐，同时也因快乐而感到满足。
Onedayawisemancametohimandtoldhimaboutthegloryofdiamondsandthepowerthatgoesalongthem.
有一天，一位智者向他走来并告知他关于钻石的荣耀，以及随之而来权力。
Thewisemansays,“Ifyouhadadiamondthesizeofyourthumb,youcouldhaveyourowncity.Ifyouhadadiamondthesizeofyourfistyoucouldprobablyownyourowncountry.”Andthenhewentaway.
智者说，“如果你拥有一块拇指般大的钻石，你就能换到一座属于自己的城市；如果你拥有一块拳头般大的钻石，你就可能会拥有一个属于自己的国家。
”说完他便离开了。
Thatnightthefarmercouldn'tsleep.Hewasunhappyandhewasdiscontent.Hewasunhappybecausehewasdiscontent,andhewasdiscontentbecausehewasunhappy.
那一晚，农夫难以入睡，他开始变得不快乐而且不满足起来。
他因不满足而不快乐，同样也因为不快乐而变得不满足。
Thenextmorninghemadearrangementstoselloffhisfarm,tookcareofhisfamilyandwentinsearchofdiamonds.HelookedalloverAfricaandcouldn'tfindany.HelookedallthroughEuropeandcouldn’tfindany.WhenhegottoSpain,hewasemotionally,physicallyandfinanciallybroke.HegotsodisheartenedthathethrewhimselfintotheBarcelonaRiverandcommittedsuicide.
第二天早上，他卖掉了自己的农场，安顿好了他的家人便踏上了寻找钻石之路。
他寻遍了整个非洲但却一无所获。
他找遍整个欧洲还是一无所获。
当他到达西班牙的时候，他已精神崩溃、周身疲惫、钱财耗尽。
绝望之下，他跳进了巴塞罗那河，自杀了。
Backhome,thepersonwhohadboughthisfarmwaswateringthecamelsatastreamthatranthroughthefarm.Acrossthestream,theraysofthemorningsunhitastoneandmadeitsparklelikearainbow.
而在他的家乡，买下他农场的那个人此时正在小溪边给骆驼饮水。
潺潺的溪水流经了整个农场。
清晨的阳光穿过溪水照射在一块石头上，折射的光芒好像是一道彩虹。
Hethoughtitwouldlookgoodonthemantelpiece.Hepickedupthestoneandputitinthelivingroom.Thatafternoonthewisemancameandsawthestonesparkling.Heasked,"IsHafizback?
"
这人心想：
若是将这块石头摆在壁炉架上一定会十分漂亮。
于是，他捡起石头并把它放到客厅里。
当天下午，那个智者又出现了。
他看到闪闪发光的石头，便问道：
“哈夫兹（旧主人）回来了吗?
”
Thenewownersaid,"No,whydoyouask?
"Thewisemansaid,"Becausethatisadiamond.IrecognizeonewhenIseeone."Themansaid,"No,that'sjustastoneIpickedupfromthestream.Come,I'llshowyou.Therearemanymore.'Theywentandpickedsomesamplesandsentthemforanalysis.Sureenough,thestoneswerediamonds.Theyfoundthatthefarmwasindeedcoveredwithacresandacresofdiamonds.
新主人回答说：
“没有啊！
你为什么会这么问？
”智者回答道：
“因为这石头是一块钻石，我一眼就能识别。
”新主人说：
“不是！
这只是我从溪水中捡起的一块石头。
不信，你就跟我来，那里还有好多呢!
”于是两人走到小溪边，捡了一些石头送去验证。
毫无疑问，这些石头确实是钻石！
他们还发现这整个农场蕴藏着大量的钻石。
