一场相遇

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire after years of work. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely life with his wife and enjoy his extended family. He would miss the paycheck each week, but he wanted to retire. With the money the carpenter had put aside during the years he worked for the employer, they could get by.

一位年老的木匠工作多年后准备退休，他将此事告知其雇主。他计划离开建筑事业，和妻子过一种更加悠闲的生活，享受子孙满堂的天伦之乐。虽然他将会因此失去薪水，但还是想退休。有了木匠为雇主工作多年而积攒下的钱，他们能活得下去。

展开全文

The employer was very sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could possibly build just one more house as a personal favor for him. The carpenter said yes, but over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work at all. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. You see, it was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

雇主看见自己的好工人要离去感到很遗憾，就问他是否可以再建一座房子，就当是送他一个人情。木匠答应了，但是显而易见他在工作上一直心不在焉。他手艺粗糙，用材低劣。你瞧，用这种方式来结束自己勤勤恳恳的木匠生涯真是不幸。

When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, "This is your house... my gift to you."

房子建成后，雇主来进行检查。然后雇主把房子前门的钥匙交给木匠，并说：“这是你的房子……我送给你的礼物。”

The carpenter was shocked!

木匠惊呆了！

What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

天哪！要是早知道是在给自己建房子，他一定会以不同的方式来建造的。

So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it all over again, we would do it much differently.

有时在生活中我们也会犯同样的错误。一天一天地我们建成了自己的生活之屋，经常没有尽最大的努力去搭建。然后，我们愕然发现我们不得不居住在自己建的房子之中。如果一切可以重来，我们一定不会用这种方式。

But you cannot go back. You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Someone once said, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your attitude and the choices you make today helps to build the "house" you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build wisely!

但是世界上没有后悔药。你就像是那个木匠，每天钉个钉子、放块木板或是立起一堵墙。有人曾经说：“生活是自己动手的工程。”你今日的态度和所做的选择决定着明天你所居住的房子的质量。因此，认认真真地建造这栋房子吧！

读后感

There is an old saying, “You have made your bed and now you must lie in it.” This means that you need to accept the consequences of your actions, even when these consequences are negative. The article explains that all your actions have the potential to impact upon your future, and that you should therefore be aware of the unexpected ways in which choices you make now can affect you at a later point.

英语中有句谚语叫做You have made your bed and now you must lie in it，字面意思是“自己铺的床自己睡”，比喻自己所做的事情的后果必须由自己承担。这篇文章就是讲了这个哲理。不管你事先是否知道，你所做的每一件事情的后果其实迟早都是由你自己承担的。
