【题目】 One day a young man was standing in a crowded place, shouting that he had the most beautiful heart in the world. Most of the people who saw his heart were amazed at the beauty of his heart.It had no little flaw (瑕疵).
Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Oh, my son, your heart is not as beautiful as mine.”
The old man showed his heart to the young man. It was beating strongly, but full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in. But they didn’t fit quite right, and there were gaps and rough(崎岖不平的) edges. Some places have never been filled in.
The young man laughed, “My dear old man, ▲ Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is full of scars.”
The old man said, “Dear boy, my heart is just as beautiful as your heart. You see, each scar shows where I have given my love. Sometimes people give me a piece of their heart back, and it fills the space as best it can. Other times, I give my love and get nothing in return. Those are the empty spaces. They hurt, but they show me that I can love and love again. ”
The young man stood still. His eyes were filled with tears. He walked up to the old man, tore a piece of his heart and gave the piece to the old man.
The old man placed it in his heart, and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man’s heart.
The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever.
