轻松一刻

There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say: “Yes, I’ve got dreams, of course I’ve got dreams.” Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they’re still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box.

– Erma Bombeck (US humorist, 1927-1996)

有些人把梦想装进一个小盒子里，说：“我有梦想，我当然有梦想。”随后他们便把盒子束之高阁，只是偶尔拿出来看看梦想还在不在里面。不错，它们还在呢。这些梦想固然伟大，但他们永远走不出这个盒子。

——艾尔玛·邦贝克

轻松一刻

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes (侵蚀) the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true. – Martin luther King (American activist, humanitarian, leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement, 1929 – 1968)

仇恨如同未被抑制的癌症，会侵蚀人格而且耗损着它的重要的统一性。仇恨会破坏一个人的价值观和他的客观性。它致使人把美说成丑，把丑说成美，混淆是非。

——马丁·路德·金
