All grown-ups were once children--although few of them remember it. 所有的大人都曾经是孩子。可惜,只有很少的一些大人记得这一点。 If you were to say to the grown-ups: "I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick, with geraniums in the windows and doves on the roof," they would not be able to get any idea of that house at all. You would have to say to them: "I saw a house that cost $20,000." Then they would exclaim: "Oh, what a pretty house that is!" 如果你对大人们说:“我看到一幢用玫瑰色的砖盖成的漂亮的房子,它的窗户上有天竺葵,屋顶上还有鸽子…”他们怎么也想象不出这种房子有多么好。必须对他们说:“我看见了一幢价值十万法郎的房子。”那么他们就惊叫道:“多么漂亮的房子啊!” It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. 只有用心才能看得清。实质性的东西,用眼睛是看不见的。 祝宝 ………………………………
