我們常會感激月亮而確忘記了太陽

1. 我們常會感激月亮而確忘記了太陽 We often appreciate the moon and neglect the sun.

2. 有一則猶太故事說，有一天，有人問一位老先生，太陽和月亮哪個比較重要。那位老 先生想了半天，回答道：「是月亮，月亮比較重要。」為什麼？ There is a Jewish story goes like this, One day, a man asks an old man a question: which is more important, the moon or the sun? The old man thinks for a while and says "it's the moon more important", " but why?" the man asks.

3. 「因為月亮是在夜晚發光，那是我們最需要光亮的時候，而白天已經夠亮了，太陽卻在那時候照耀。」你或許會笑這位老先生糊塗，但你不覺得很多人也是這樣嗎？「因為月亮是在夜晚發光，那是我們最需要光亮的時候，而白天已經夠亮了，太陽卻在那時候照耀。」你或許會笑這位老先生糊塗，但你不覺得很多人也是這樣嗎？ "Because the moon gives you light in the night when it is dark and we most need it, however, when it is day time and bright enough, the sun is still shining there." You may think that the old man is stupid, but don't you think that many people do the same way in their lives?

4. 每天照顧你的人，你從不覺得有什麼，若是陌生人這樣對你，你就認為他人真好；你的父母、妻子或先生一直付出，你總覺得理所當然，甚至還有得嫌；一旦外人為你做出類似行為，你就受寵若驚，你就會很感激。這不是跟「感激月亮，否定太陽」一樣糊塗嗎？每天照顧你的人，你從不覺得有什麼，若是陌生人這樣對你，你就認為他人真好；你的父母、妻子或先生一直付出，你總覺得理所當然，甚至還有得嫌；一旦外人為你做出類似行為，你就受寵若驚，你就會很感激。這不是跟「感激月亮，否定太陽」一樣糊塗嗎？ You do not care much about a person who looks after you everyday, but if a stranger gives a little favor to you, you will think he is really kind. Your parents , wives and husbands have been looking after you all the time. You consider that it is natural and some time you even get tired of them. Once a stranger does the same thing to you, you will feel astonished and grateful. Don't you think it is the same stupidity as "to appreciate moon and neglect the sun”?

5. 有個女孩跟媽媽大吵了一架，氣得奪門而出，決定再也不要回到這個討厭的家了！一整天，她都在外面閒逛，肚子餓得咕嚕咕嚕叫，但偏偏又沒帶零用錢出來，可又拉不下臉回家吃飯。一直到了晚上，她來到一家麵攤旁，聞到了陣陣的香味，真是好想吃一碗，但身上又沒帶錢只能不住的吞口水。有個女孩跟媽媽大吵了一架，氣得奪門而出，決定再也不要回到這個討厭的家了！一整天，她都在外面閒逛，肚子餓得咕嚕咕嚕叫，但偏偏又沒帶零用錢出來，可又拉不下臉回家吃飯。一直到了晚上，她來到一家麵攤旁，聞到了陣陣的香味，真是好想吃一碗，但身上又沒帶錢只能不住的吞口水。 Once a girl had a big quarrel with her ma and rushed out of her home, she was so angry and decided to never go back home again, For a whole day, she wandering around the street without eating anything, she felt very hungry. She had no money and she could not go back home to eat, until midnight, she came to a restaurant. The noodles smelled so good, "How nice if I can eat a big bowl of noodles!! "However, she had no money to buy one, what she could do is to just slobber.

6. 忽然，老闆親切的問：「小姐，妳要不要吃麵啊？」她不好意思的回答：「嗯！可是……我沒有帶錢……」老闆聽了大笑：「哈哈，沒關係，今天就算老闆請客吧！」女孩簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵，她坐下來。不一會兒，麵來了，她吃得津津有味，並說：「老闆，你人真好！」Suddenly the owner of the restaurant asked" would like some noodles" ? the girl said," Yes, but I don't have money", the man laughed.“ It doesn't matter, " the girl could not believe her ears and then sat down. Soon came the noodles, the girl really enjoyed and said to the boss" you are so kind.”

7. 老闆說：「哦？怎麼說？」女孩接著回答：「對啊！我們素不相識，你卻對我那麼好，不像我媽，根本就不了解我的需要和想法，真氣人！」老闆又笑了：「哈，小姐，我才不過給妳一碗麵而已，妳就這麼感激我，那麼妳媽媽幫妳煮了二十幾年的飯，妳不是更應該感激她嗎？」老闆說：「哦？怎麼說？」女孩接著回答：「對啊！我們素不相識，你卻對我那麼好，不像我媽，根本就不了解我的需要和想法，真氣人！」老闆又笑了：「哈，小姐，我才不過給妳一碗麵而已，妳就這麼感激我，那麼妳媽媽幫妳煮了二十幾年的飯，妳不是更應該感激她嗎？」 The boss said:" why? " "We don't know each other and you are so kind to me.""Unlike my mon, she can never find out what I really want and need ", The boss laughed again, "I only serve you a bowl of noodle and make you so grateful to me,""but your mother has cooked for more than twenty years""Don't you think you should be more grateful towards your Mon? ”

8. 被老闆這麼一講，女孩頓時有如大夢初醒，眼淚瞬間奪眶而出！顧不得還剩下的半碗麵，立刻飛奔回家。被老闆這麼一講，女孩頓時有如大夢初醒，眼淚瞬間奪眶而出！顧不得還剩下的半碗麵，立刻飛奔回家。 When she heard about this, the girl was shocked and tears came out of her eyes, she ran back to home, leaving half bowl of noodles on the table.

9. 才到家門前的巷口，就遠遠的看到媽媽，焦急的在門口四處張望，她的心立刻揪在一起！有一千句、一萬句的對不起想對媽媽說。還沒來得及開口，只見媽媽已迎了上前：「唉呦！妳一整天跑去那裡了啊？嚇死我了！來，進來把手洗一洗，吃晚飯了。」才到家門前的巷口，就遠遠的看到媽媽，焦急的在門口四處張望，她的心立刻揪在一起！有一千句、一萬句的對不起想對媽媽說。還沒來得及開口，只見媽媽已迎了上前：「唉呦！妳一整天跑去那裡了啊？嚇死我了！來，進來把手洗一洗，吃晚飯了。」 At the street corner, she saw her mother standing there and looked around, The girl, at this time, had hundreds and thousands words to say sorry to her mother, yet, before she opened her mouth to say a word, her mother ran up and said, “Where have you been for a whole day?”“I am so worried, come on , wash your hands and eat your supper.”

10. 這天晚上，這個女孩才深刻體會到媽媽對她的愛。太陽一直都在，人就忘了它給的光亮，當親人一直都在，人就會卻忘了他們給的溫暖；一個被照顧到無微不至的人反而不會去感恩，是因為白天已經夠亮了，太陽是多餘的嗎？這天晚上，這個女孩才深刻體會到媽媽對她的愛。太陽一直都在，人就忘了它給的光亮，當親人一直都在，人就會卻忘了他們給的溫暖；一個被照顧到無微不至的人反而不會去感恩，是因為白天已經夠亮了，太陽是多餘的嗎？ Only until that night ,the girl realized her mother's love. Like the sun is always there, yet people always forget the bright she gives us. When you enjoy the love from your relatives, you often do not feel about it and never show your gratitude to them, is the sun is not necessary when it is bright enough during the day time?
