英語(yǔ)美文:Love is a two-way street

閱讀，不是為了得到什么，而是在被生活打擊的無(wú)路可退時(shí)最后的安身之所。靜靜等待，閱讀，一定會(huì)給予你獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。下面是英語(yǔ)美文:Love is a two-way street的資料，希望你會(huì)喜歡！

A father sat at his desk poring over his monthly bills when his young son rushed in and announced,

“Dad, because this is your birthday and you’re 55 years old, I’m going to give you 55 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy started making good on his word, the father exclaimed, “Oh, Andrew, don’t do it now; I’m too busy!”

The youngster immediately fell silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes. Apologically the father said, “You can finish later.”

The boy said nothing but quietly walked away, disappointment written over his face. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t respond.

Unfortunately, a few days later after this incident, the boy had an accident and was drowned. His heartbroken father wrote...

“If only I could tell him how much I regret my thoughtless words, and could be assured that he knows how much my heart is aching.”

…Love is a two-way street. Any loving act must be warmly accepted or it will be taken as rejection and can leave a scar. If we are too busy to give and receive love, we are too busy! Nothing is more important than responding with love to the cry for love from those who are near and precious to us. Because... there may be no chance at all as in the case of the little boy...

父親坐在辦公桌旁，正盯著那些堆積了一個(gè)月來(lái)的賬單，這時(shí)，他的小兒子沖了過(guò)來(lái)，大聲宣布：

“爸爸，因?yàn)榻裉焓悄阄迨鍤q的生日， 我想給你五十五個(gè)吻，一年一個(gè)！”當(dāng)男孩正要兌現(xiàn)諾言時(shí)，他爸爸大聲說(shuō)道：“哦，安德魯，現(xiàn)在不行，我太忙了！”

小男孩馬上不吭聲了，藍(lán)色的大眼睛里涌滿了淚水。父親深表歉意地說(shuō)：“過(guò)會(huì)有空再親吧。”

男孩什么也沒(méi)說(shuō)，只是靜靜地走開(kāi)了，失望的表情溢于言表。那天晚上，父親說(shuō)：“來(lái)吧安德魯，現(xiàn)在可以親了！”但是，孩子卻沒(méi)有做出回應(yīng)。

不幸的是，這件事剛過(guò)去幾天之后，小男孩就不幸溺水身亡。傷心欲絕的爸爸寫(xiě)道：

“如果我早告訴他，對(duì)于那些無(wú)心的話我是多么后悔，他一定會(huì)明白我的心有多么痛。”

愛(ài)，是一條雙行道。對(duì)于愛(ài)的表示一定要熱心地接受，否則對(duì)方會(huì)以為你拒絕了，從而留下一道傷痕。如果我們忙得連給予和接受愛(ài)的時(shí)間都沒(méi)有，那未免也忙得太過(guò)分了！對(duì)于那些在我們身邊，對(duì)我們彌足珍貴的人，用愛(ài)去回應(yīng)他們愛(ài)的渴望，這最重要不過(guò)了！因?yàn)?hellip;…如果發(fā)生像小男孩這樣的情況，即使后悔也沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)了。
