The Warmth in Winter冬日的温暖Winter gives us the opportunity to stay inside and look outside, as we' re not called outdoors to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. 当我们没有出外享受温暖和阳光时，冬季为人们创造了一个待在室内，观察室外的机会。Snuggle up in the sofa, put a blanket over you, have a cup of hot cocoa, and enjoy the observations on this precious season... 铺条毯子在身上，卷曲在沙发上，喝着一杯热可可，享受着观察这个美丽季节的快乐。Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: It is the time for home. 冬季是一个享受舒适，美食与温馨的季节。冬季也是传递友谊的季节，冬季还是围坐在火炉旁谈天说地的季节。冬季是享受家之温暖的季节。During the winter I am content, or try to think I am. 在冬季，我很满足，或自认为满足。There is a wonderful joy in leaving behind the noisy city streets and starting out along the white road that leads across the hills.把喧闹的城市街区抛在身后，沿着白皑皑的公路前往山岗。With each breath of the sharp, reviving air one seems to inhale new life. 在每一次强烈，复苏的呼吸下，整个人也好像注入了新生。A peace as evident as the sunshine on the fields lakes possession of one' s inner being.照射在田野上的宁静的阳光同时也感染了我们的内心世界。The trivial ca

The team I work in just had 2 new interns, and I happen to be their supervisor.我所在的团队新来了两个实习生而我恰好是他们的主管After today's lunch break, I saw that one of them was reading things on her smartphone, maybe on some social network,I guessed.今天午休过后我看见他们中的一个正在悠闲地刷手机我猜想可能是在上社交网络吧I went to her and said"There's another document here needing translation. Do you have time to finish it for me?"我走过去问她“我这正好有一份文档要翻译你有时间帮忙完成一下吗”That documentwas not in her assigned workload. But I thought I could let her challenge herselfa little bit with it, seeing that she seemed to have time.这份文档并不在她的工作量里面不过我看她似乎有空就打算让她用这锻炼一下"Yes, I do have time." She said,"But I'm just an intern."“有啊” 她说“可是我只是个实习生啊”I didn't quite know what to say back then.After a while I mumbled "Right.Yes."我当时突然不知道说什么好愣了一下说道“哦，也是哦”And I turned around and left.然后便转身离开了I recalled the time when I was an intern for the first time. I, too, managed to finish my workload so fast, just like her.我想起了我自己第一次做实习生的时候当时我也像她一样很快就把自己的工作量完成了So I asked my supervisor "Is there anything elsethat

Dear Catherine:亲爱的C：I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in so long. I feel I've been lost, no bearings, no compass. 对不起这么久没给你写信了。我感觉自己迷失了，找不到方向，没有指引。I kept crashing into things, a little crazy, I guess. I've never been lost before. You were my true north. I could always steer for home when you were my home. 我总是东跌西撞，我想自己一定是疯了。我从未这样迷失过，你曾经是我的指明灯，只要有你在，我就能找到回家的路。Forgive me for being so angry when you left. I still think some mistake's been made and I'm waiting for God to take it back. But I'm doing better now. The work helps me. Most of all, you help me. 原谅我，当你离开时我愤怒至极。我仍然觉得是上天弄错了，我一直等上天去纠正这个错误！不过，我现在已经好多了，埋头工作帮了我，更多的是，你帮了我。You came into my dream last night with that smile of yours that always held me like a lover, rocked me like a child. 昨夜，你带着微笑进入我的梦乡，永远像情人那样地拥抱我，像摇动小孩子那样地轻轻摇着我。All I remember from the dream is a feeling of peace. I woke up with that feeling and tried to keep it alive as long as I could. 这个梦带给我无比宁静的感觉。我醒来时依然感觉着这份宁静，真想把这种感觉延持到很久很久……I'm writing to tell you that I'm on a journey toward that peace. A

The Ballad of the Sad Cafe《伤心咖啡馆之歌》-摘录By Carson McCullers What sort of thing, then, was this love？爱到底是什么？ First of all, love is a joint experience between two persons.它是发生在两个人之间的情感交织的体验。 But the fact that it is a joint experience does not mean that it is a similar experience to the two people involved.虽说爱是两人情感交织的体验，但这并不意味着两个人对这份爱的感受是相同的。There are the lover and the beloved, but these two come from different countries.一段感情里，有爱得更多的那一个，也有被爱的那个。这两个人，对于这段感情有着截然不同的体验。  The lover feels in his soul that his love is a solitary thing.爱得更深的那一个，在灵魂深处感受到自己的爱是一种孤独的付出。 He comes to know a new, strange loneliness and it is this knowledge which makes him suffer.他逐渐体会到一种新的、陌生的孤寂，正是这种体会使他痛苦无比。 So there is only one thing for the lover to do.因此，他能做的只有一件事。He must house his love within himself as best he can, he must create for himself a whole new inward world.他必须尽可能深地把自己的爱禁锢在心中，他必须在心底为这份爱构筑一个全新的世界。 A world intense and strange, complete in himself.这个世界里的情感强烈、疏离、自我成全。 This lover can be man, woman, child, or indeed any human creature o

Once an unhappy young man came to an old master and told him he had a very sad life and asked for a solution. The old Master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and then to drink it.一个整天闷闷不乐的年轻人来到一位老师父面前，告诉师父他过着非常悲惨的生活，并寻求师父提供解决办法。师父指示这个年轻人将一把盐放到一杯水里，然后喝下去。 “How does it taste?” – the Master asked.  “Terrible.” – spat the apprentice. The Master chuckled and then asked the young man to take another handful of salt and put it in the lake. “味道如何？”师父问道。“太难喝了。”年轻人边回答，边把水吐在地上。师父轻笑了一声，让年轻人再取一把盐放到湖水里。The two walked in silence to the nearby lake and when the apprentice swirled his handful of salt into the lake. The old man said, "Now drink from the lake." 二人沉默地走到附近的湖边，年轻人将那把盐撒入湖中。师父说：“现在，你从湖里取点儿水喝。”As the water dripped down the young man's chin, the Master asked, "How does it taste?" "Good!" remarked the apprentice. "Do you taste the salt?" asked the Master. "No." said the young man.当水从年轻人的下巴滴下时，师父问道：“味道如何？”“好喝！”年轻人回答道。“水里有盐的味道吗？” 师父继续问道。“没有”年轻人答道。The Master sat beside this tro

So many of my smile begin with you.我的笑颜多因你而起Every day may not be good,but there's something good in every day.并非每天都顺利但每天都会有美好的事情发生We are not made to be perfect 100% of the time but we are made to do the best we can 100%of the time.不需时时刻刻保持完美但是需时时刻刻尽力做好Whatever you do,please never give up.无论做什么事情，都不要轻言放弃Can't hold it back anymore, let it go.觉得无能为力，那就放手吧Sit, smile, breathe, repeat!静坐，微笑，深呼吸。重复这个动作In the end, we all discover who's fake, who's true and who would risk it all for you.谁虚伪，谁真诚，谁又会为了你不顾一切最终我们都会看到You can't control everything.Sometime you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out.Let go a little and just let life happen.不期望能控制每一件事有时候，你只需放松并坚信这件事一定可以得到解决顺其自然，方得始终

“Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75.”“死于25岁，葬于75岁。”——你的人生也会是这样的吗？这是美国著名科学家富兰克林的一句名言。这里所谓的“死”是指激情的褪去、梦想的幻灭，是指精神的死去。

@主播 | Flora Fang   结尾曲目 | Make You Feel My LoveSimple Ways to Improve Our LifeI love to have simple ways to improve my life. Everyday is a chance for improving our life, and it's up to us to best use it. What I want is to have good, balanced progress everyday.我喜欢用简单的方法提升自己的生活质量。对我们来说每天都是一个新的机遇，关键在于我们如何最有效地利用它。我所希望的便是每天都可以有良好平稳的提升。To ensure balance, my favorite way is using the four facets of prosperity: material, spiritual, physical, and social. By achieving material prosperity, spiritual prosperity, physical prosperity, and social prosperity, I believe I can have complete and balanced prosperity in my life.我最倾向于通过物质生活、精神境界、身体素质、社交活动四个方面的互补来保持生活的平衡。如果可以达到物质富足、精神愉悦、身体健康以及社交活跃，那么你一定会拥有和谐美妙而丰富多彩的生活。You may add other facets of prosperity if they work for you, but in my opinion these four facets are easy to remember and already cover practically everything.当然啦，你还可以添加一些你认为对你有用的东西。不过，我认为以上的四个方面很容易记住，它们基本已经包涵了所有。To put this concept into practice, what I do is ensuring that I do something to improve each facet everyda
