英语美文：生命的秘密就在你的心里

 　　The Secret of LifeAs the Lord¹ God was creating the world he called upon his archangels. The Lord asked his archangels to help him decide where to put the Secret of Life.

　　"Bury it in the ground," one angel replied.

　　"Put it on the bottom of the sea," said another.

　　"Hide it in the mountains," another suggested.

　　The Lord replied, "If I see to do any of those, only a few will find the Secret of Life. The Secret of Life must be accessible to EVERY-ONE!"One angel replied, "I know: put it in each man's heart. Nobody will think to look there.""Yes!" said the Lord. "Within each one's heart."And so it was —— The SECRET OF LIFE lies within all of us.

　　中文：

　　上帝创造世界的时候召来了他的天使长们，请他们帮助决定应该把生命的秘密放在哪里。

　　“把它埋在地下。”一个天使答道。

　　“把它放到海底。”另一个说道。

　　“把它藏在山里。”又一个天使建议。

　　上帝回答说：“如果我照你们说的方法做的话，那么这个世界上只有一小部分人能找到它。而我希望每个人都有可能找到生命的秘密!”

　　一个天使答道：“我知道了，把它放在每个人的心里。没有哪个人会想到它被放在那儿。”

　　“对啊!”上帝非常赞同，“放在每个人的心里。”

　　于是真的——生命的秘密就在我们每个人的心里。
