《和时间赛跑》原文:
读小学的时候,我的外祖母过世了。外祖母生前最疼爱我,我无法排除自己的忧伤,每天在学校的操场上一圈又一圈地跑着,跑得累倒在地下,扑在草坪上痛哭。
那哀痛的日子,断断续续地持续了很久。爸爸妈妈也不知道如何安慰我,他们知道与其骗我说外祖母睡着了,还不如对我说实话:外祖母永远不会回来了。
“什么是永远不会回来呢?”我问着。
“所有时间时的事物,都永远不会回来。你的昨天过去了,它就永远变成昨天,你不能再回到昨天。爸爸以前也和你一样小,现在也不能回到你这么小的童年了;有一天你会长大,你会像外祖母一样老;有一天你度过了你的时间,就永远不会回来了。”爸爸说。
爸爸等于给我一个谜语,这谜语比课本上的“日历挂在墙壁,一天撕去一页,使我心里着急”和“一寸光阴一寸金,寸金难买寸光阴”还让我感到可怕;也比作文本上的“光阴似箭,日月如梭”更让我觉得有一种说不出的滋味。
每天放学回来,我在庭院里看到太阳一寸一寸地落下去,就知道这一天快要过去了。虽然知道明天太阳还会升起来,但是今天永远不会再来了。
我看见小鸟向自己的巢飞去,飞得好快呀!明天,它们可能沿着同样的路线飞过,可时间已经不是今天,小鸟也不是今天的样子,它们一定也变了。
时间过得飞快,使我的小心眼里不只是着急,而且是悲伤。有一天我放学回家,看到太阳快落山了,就下决心说:“我要比太阳更快地回家。”我狂奔回去,站在庭院前喘气的时候,看到太阳不定期露着半边脸,我高兴地跳跃起来,那一天我跑赢了太阳。以后我就时常做那样的游戏,有时和太阳赛跑,有时和西北风比快,有时一个暑假才能做完的作业,我十天就做完了;那时我三年级,常常把哥哥五年级的作业拿来做。
童年养成和时间赛跑的习惯,在后来的几十年里使我受益不浅。我知道人永远跑不过时间,但是人可以在自己拥有的时间里快跑几步。尽管那几步很小很小,作用却很大很大。
如果将来我有什么要教给我的孩子,我会告诉他:假如你一直和时间赛跑,你就可以成功!
The Race with Time
My grandmother passed away when I was a primary school pupil. Since she put me the apple of her eyes, I couldn’t give vent to my pent-up sadness so much so that I ran on the playground of my school every day until I was too tired to move. Then I fell down to the grassland with lots of tears trickling down my face.
Those sorrowful days lasted for quite a long time off and on. My parents also failed to comfort me, because they knew it was better to tell me the fact that grandmother would never come back rather than cheat me by saying she was asleep.
“What do you mean by never come back?” I asked.
“Everything in the course of time will never come back. For example, your yesterday will be yesterday forever once it goes away, and you can’t return to yesterday. My son, I used to be a small kid like you, but now I cannot return to such a childhood you have. One day, you will grow up and become as old as your grandmother. One day, you will never come back after you spend all your time.” My father explained to me.
Father’s words was a puzzle to me, which made me more frightened than the two sentences on the text books: “The calendar on the wall worries me for one page was taken off every day” and “Time is money, but it’s difficult for you to use money to get time”. It also made me feel more terrible than the idiom I wrote on my composition exercise book: “How time flies!”
Every day after school I would watch the sun setting in the yard of my home, and I realized the very day was passing. Although the sun would rise again tomorrow, I knew today would never come back. I saw birds flying back to their nests. How fast they flew. Tomorrow, they would perhaps fly past in the same route but the time was not today. The birds would not be what they were today, because changes must have taken place to them.
Time flies, which causes my heart to be not only worried but also grieved. One day after school when I was on my way back home, I made up my mind by saying “I will go home faster than the sun” after I saw the sun was setting. Therefore I spared no effort to run home in a fast speed. On arrival at my yard, I kept gasping for breath, but the sun was still setting with half its face outside. I was then beside myself with joy because I won the race with the sun. From that day on, I often play games in that form, sometimes with the sun and sometimes with the northwestern wind. Sometimes I finished the homework of summer vocation in ten days, while it used to take me the whole vocation to do that. I was in grade three then, but sometimes I would do the homework of my brother who was in grade five.
The habit of chasing with the sun formed in my childhood has done me great benefits in the later decades. I do know that man will never catch up with time, but they can run faster and more in their own time. Despite the small steps, the influence will be great.
If I have something to impart to my child, I will tell him: Keep running with time and you will succeed!
