6月18日英语故事：What goes around comes around 一报还一报
|
本帖最后由 xiaogua 于 2012-6-18 21:38 编辑
这是一个让人感慨万千的真实故事，这是一个关于“一件小事”与“两个巨人”的故事。亚马逊雨林里一只蝴蝶煽动它的翅膀，就能在大洋的彼岸引起猛烈的风暴。这是自然界的“蝴蝶效应”。农夫挽救一个小孩生命的善举，却实际上几乎挽救了整个人类的命运。这是人类社会的“蝴蝶效应”。
还是那句话：勿以善小而不为。Little things are big. -------题记

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer.本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览
One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog（沼泽）. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad（小男孩） from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
