A Flower in The Desert沙漠之花
There was a young flower in the desert where all was dry and sad looking... It was growing by itself... enjoying every day... and saying to the sun “When shall I be grown up?” And the sun would say “Be patient - Each time I touch you, you grow a little...” She was so pleased, because she would have a chance to bring beauty to this corner of sand... And this is all she wanted to do - bring a little bit of beauty to this world.
遍地干旱、满目悲凉的沙漠中有朵小花，她独自生长在那里，享受着每一天。她问太阳公公“我什么时候才能长大？”太阳公公总是说“要有耐心，我每次抚摸你，你都会长大一点……”小花好开心啊，因为她也有机会为沙漠的一隅增添美丽了，这是她毕生的心愿：为这个世界增添一丝美丽。

One day the hunter came by - and stepped on her. - She was going to die - and she felt so sad. Not because she was dying - but because she would not have a chance to bring a little bit of beauty to this corner of the desert.
一天，一位猎人经过，正好踩在她身上。她快要死了，她感到如此悲伤。并不是因为她即将死去，而是因为再没有机会为沙漠增添一丝美丽了。
The Great Spirit saw her, and was listening. - Indeed, he said... She should be living... And he reached down and touched her - and gave her life.
伟大的神灵看到了她，并且听到了她的心里话。事实上，他在说：她应该活着。他俯下身，抚摸着她，给了她生命。
And she grew up to be a beautiful flower... and this corner of the desert became so beautiful because of her.
她长成一朵美丽的花……由于她的存在，这沙漠的一隅变得如此美丽。

As I hold the flower in my hand and think of trying to describe it, I realize how poor a creature I am, how impotent are words in the presence of such perfection.

当我手捧着花儿并试图用言语形容它时，我突然发现面对完美，自己显得多么愚笨，而言语又是多么的无力。

When we look deeply into the heart of a flower, we see clouds, sunshine, minerals, time, the earth, and everything else in the cosmos in it. Without clouds there could be no rain, and without rain there would be no flower.

当深入花儿的内心世界时，我们能够看到白云、阳光、矿物、时间、泥土以及宇宙万物。因为无云便无雨，无雨便无花。
