第661期:英語美文 Life Is In the Living

英語美文-Life Is In the Living

我們不少人可能都聽過要注重過程而不要過多在意結果，因爲只有當你真正投入到過程中，結果就近在眼前，等到真正達成的那一天，你回想起的，可能更多你是所經歷的過程。每個人對於“過程”&“結果”的理解可能都不同。前幾天，我讀到了一篇很好的漫畫式文章： Life Is In the Living.摘自蔡志忠的漫畫《心經》，我很喜歡這篇漫畫中的比喻，簡直可以說是精妙絕倫，今天忍不住想要和大家分享一下。

New Words:

twist v. 使彎曲，使扭曲(成一定形狀);

She twisted her hair into a bun and pinned it at the back of her head.

我必須有一艘能經得起狂風駭浪的船。
