A Place Nearby近邻
By Lene Marlin
Lene Marlin（琳恩·玛莲），一个来自北国的精灵，她的音乐，她细腻的嗓音，她的容颜，让你无法忘却。这首A Place Nearby也是
如此。
I entered the room
Sat by your bed all through the night
I watched your daily fight
I hardly knew
The pain was almost more than I could bear
And still I hear
Your last words to me
Heaven is a place nearby
So I won't be so far away
And if you try look for me
Maybe you'll find me someday
So there's no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
I'll always be by your side
You just faded away
You spread your wings you had flown
Away to something unknown
Wish I could bring you back
You are always on my mind
About to tear myself apart
You have your special place in my heart
Always heaven is a place nearby
And even when I go to sleep
I still can hear your voice
And those words
I never will forget
我走进房间
整夜坐在你床边
我看着你日渐消瘦
我仅仅知道
那样的痛苦我所难以承受的
依稀还能听见
你给我的临终遗言
所以我将离你不远
如果你尝试着寻找我
也许某天你将会找到我
天堂是一个很近的地方
所以没有必要说再见
我想要告诫你不要哭泣
我将一直在你身边
你还是逐渐衰弱下去
你已经展翅飞离
离开我去到那未知的地方
我希望能把你带回来
我一直惦念着你
难以放弃
你在我心中有特别的意义
天堂一直很近
我将一直在你身边
即使我睡着了
我仍然能听到你的声音
你的那些话语
我从未忘记

03经典背诵
The Trouble Tree忘忧树
I hired a carpenter to help me restore an old farmhouse.He had a rough first day on the job.A flat tire made him lose an hour of work，his electric saw quit，and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start.While I drove him home，he sat in stony silence.
On arriving，he invited me in to meet his family.As we walked toward the front door，he paused briefly at a small tree，touching the tips of the branches with both hands.As he opened the door，he underwent an amazing transformation.His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.
Afterward，he walked me to the car.We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me.I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier."Oh，that's my trouble tree，"he replied."I know I can't help having troubles on the job，but one thing for sure，troubles don't belongin the house with my wife and children.So，I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home.Then in the morning I pick them up again."Then he smiled and said，"Funny thing is，when I come out in the morning to pick them up，there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before".
我雇佣了一个木工师傅，帮我修复一个老农舍。第一天上班就很糟糕。轮胎爆了，浪费了他一个小时的工作时间，电锯坏了，现在他那破旧的小卡车又启动不了。当 我开车送他回家，他像块石头一样沉默地坐在那里。
抵达后，他邀请我去见他的家人。当我们走向门口，他停在一棵小树旁，用双手触摸树梢。当他推开门，他经历了一个惊人的转变。他黝黑的脸上笑逐颜开，他拥抱 他的两个孩子，给他的妻子一个吻。
随后，他和我走向车。我们经过那棵树，我的好奇心战胜了我。我问他刚才的所作所为。“哦，那是我的忘忧书。”他回复道。“我知道我不能控制工作上的一些麻 烦，但有点可以肯定，麻烦不属于我的妻子、孩子、这个家。所以，每天晚上回家的时候，我就把他们都挂在树上。然后第二天早上再把他们摘下来。”然后他微笑 着说：“有趣的是，当我早上来取他们的时候，他们没有我之前晚上挂的那么多。”
