What My Friend Said Shocked My Soul

震撼心灵的一句话

Last fall I walked with a friend in hometown. He was recognized as the most stupid among my childhood playmates, but he has now been Number One in an enterprise.

去年秋天，我在家乡同一位朋友散步。他是我小时候那群玩伴中公认最笨的一位，现在却成了一家企业的老总。

When we came to a fork, a blind man walked from another direction. Testing the road with his bamboo pole, the blind man was walking very slowly towards the road we were going to.

当我们走到一个岔路口时，从另一方向走来一个盲人。盲人用竹竿点点探探，走得极慢，走向了我们也要去的那条路。

I chatted with my friend as we were walking. I talked about my five job-hoppings within two years and the experiences I was still struggling in the plight now. My friend nodded and smiled, but he kept silent all along. After a while, I occasionally looked back and found the blind man had vanished.

我与朋友边走边聊。我谈起自己两年内5次跳槽，直到现在还在困境中挣扎的经历。朋友点头微笑，却又始终不语。过了一会儿，我偶然回首，盲人突然不见了。

“Where’s the blind man?”I blurted out.

“那个盲人呢？”我不禁脱口问。

“He has walked far!” said my friend with a smile.

“他已经走过去老远了！”朋友微笑着说。

“How can a blind man walk much faster than us? Strange!” 

“一个盲人怎么可能走得比我们快这么多？奇怪！”

“How impossible? We look in all directions and walk half-heartedly while he is walking wholeheartedly,” said my friend.

“怎么不可能？我们东张西望、三心二意地散步，而他却是一门心思在走路。”朋友说。

My heart was suddenly shocked. What simple but profound truth! Just think, if I had learned a little the spirit of the blind man walking wholeheartedly, how could I be down and out now?

我的心猛地被震了一下。多么简单而又深刻的道理啊！试想，如果我以前稍微学一下盲人一门心思走路的精神，又何至像今日这样潦倒呢？

Although the scene has passed for one year, what my friend said keeps lingering in my ears for a long time.

尽管那一幕过去一年了，但朋友那句话却久久地在我耳边回响着。
