How would you play the game?然而，如果你真的決定使用，你會做什么？怎么來做這個游戲？Wouldyou plan and plan before you ever wrote a word?你會左計劃、右計劃，然后才慢慢下筆嗎？Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?計劃會不會太泛太多，根本就達不到寫作這一步？Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you?會不會提筆在手迫不及待地投入其中，任由手中的筆、筆下的字帶著你在詞海中上下翻騰、左突右沖？Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe(or pretend to believe)that the pen will write forever and proceed accord gly?會不會下筆謹小慎微，似乎墨水隨時都將干涸？會不會假裝或相信、或假裝相信筆中墨水永不會枯竭，任你揮灑？And of what would you write: Of love? Hate? Fun?Misery?Life?Death?Nothing Everything?你會寫些什么？愛情？仇恨？樂趣？痛苦？生命？死亡？虛無空空抑或世事萬種？Would you write to please just yourself? Or others?Or yourself by writing for others?是會用來自娛？還是取悅他人？還是為人寫作而愉悅自身？Would your strokes be tremblingly timid or brilliantly bold? Fancy with a flourish or plain?你的一筆一劃會顫抖怯懦還是亮麗大膽？花里胡哨還是樸實無華？Would you even write? Once you have the pen, no rule says you have to you sketch? Scribble? Doodle or draw?你確實會去寫嗎？你一旦有了這枝筆，卻也沒有規(guī)則說你一定就要去寫。你會粗粗寫來？潦潦草草？信手涂鴉？還是認真描畫？Would you stay in or on the lines, or see no lines at all, even if they were there? Or are they? There’s a lot to think about here, isn’t there?你會寫在線里還是寫在線上，或者對紙上的線格根本就視而不見？真的有什么線格嗎？此時此刻，有很多東西值得思考，不是嗎？Now, suppose someone gave you a life...那么，假設(shè)有人給了你一次生命……cherish now no longer missed 珍惜現(xiàn)在不再錯過John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique zither and played it in the crowded subway music emanating from the zither was delicately streaming throughout the whole , during the onehour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming threeyearold kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything only got 52 for his work that ，悄悄來到人潮不斷的地鐵站演奏。弦音曼妙，在空曠處流淌。將近一小時的演奏中，真正駐足聆聽者只有六七人。最捧場的是一位三歲小童，聽得入神。約翰當(dāng)天得到52美元賞金。However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high , later, many passersby in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music ，約翰的演奏會舉行時，一張票超過100美元，且一票難求。后來，不少當(dāng)時就在地鐵站的觀眾扼腕自己眼拙，錯過了一場免費或者廉價的音樂盛宴。I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that hiswife came down with acute cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every , his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his now, it is impossible to make up for ，徹頭徹尾變了一個人：親自下廚，陪太太散步……可是妻子敵不過病魔摧殘，三個月后就撒手人寰。他很傷感地說，太忙了，錯過與妻子營造最美好的人生時光，想彌補卻彌補不回來。A doctor’s son jumped from the 19th floor of a building and left a posthumous letter which expressed his strong desire for staying more with his father, going to see a movie with his father, until his son mitted suicide had the doctor realized that the most precious thing is not career achievement, but the tight and intact family ，留下一封遺書，信中留言：最想爸爸陪他，最想看電影，最希望快快樂樂……兒子自殺之后，爸爸才明白，人生中最珍貴的不是成就，而是親情。It is no use crying over spilt have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish ，很多美好的事，往往簡簡單單就被輕易錯過了。Actually, I also missed something precious reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple: we had thought that we could still own them ，我也錯過一些事。錯過的理由很簡單：以為還有明天。Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we bee old, , when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer do realize our wish any more, because we have lost it by ，明天是不可靠的。要不，日休禪師怎么會說，很多人的一生中，只做了“等待”與“后悔”兩件事，合起來就叫“來不及”。我們老愛說：長大再說，有錢再說，老了再說……可是到了那時候，卻什么都不必說了。Love Is Just a Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on their opinion, ―I love you‖ is too luxurious for them to flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the my father has a bad he’s very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his ，我真的懷疑父母之間是否有真愛。他們天天忙于賺錢，為我和弟弟支付學(xué)費。他們從未像我在書中讀到，或在電視中看到的那樣互訴衷腸。他們認為”我愛你”太奢侈，很難說出口。更不用說在情人節(jié)送花這樣的事了。我父親的脾氣非常壞。經(jīng)過一天的勞累之后，他經(jīng)常會發(fā)脾氣。One day, my mother was sewing a silently sat down beside her and looked at ，母親正在縫被子，我靜靜地坐在她旁邊看著她?！癕om, I have a question to ask you,‖ I said after a ，我說：”媽媽，我想問你一個問題?！薄癢hat?‖ she replied, still doing her work.“什么問題?”她一邊繼續(xù)縫著，一邊回答道?！癐s there love between you and Dad?‖ I asked her in a very low ：”你和爸爸之間有沒有愛情啊?”My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her didn’t answer she bowed her head and continued to sew the ，滿眼詫異地抬起頭。她沒有立即作答。然后低下頭，繼續(xù)縫被子。I was very worried because I thought I h
