All the Good Things
Mark's classmates started to gather around us. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said，"I still have my list.It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."Chuck's wife said，"Chuck asked me to put this in our wedding album.""I have mine too，"Marilyn said."It's in my diary."Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn list to the group."I carry this with me at all times，"Vicki said without batting an eyelash."I think we all saved our lists."
That's when I fnally sat down and cried.
Sometimes the smallest things could mean the most to others. The density of people in society is so thick that we forget life will end one day and we don't know when that day will be.Compliment the people you love and care about, before it is too late.

那些赞美之词
这时，马克的同学们也围了过来。查利腼腆地笑着说：“这张单子我现在还保留着，就在我家书桌最上面的抽屉里。”查克的妻子说：“查克让我把这个放在我们的结婚纪念册里。”“我的也在，”玛丽莲说，“就在我日记本里。”接着，另一个同学维姬从手提袋里取出钱包，给大家看那张已经磨损了的纸。“我一直把这个带在身上，”维姬眼睛一眨不眨地说，“我想我们都保存着自己的单子。”
那一刻，我终于坐下大哭起来。
有时候，即便是最微不足道的事情，对他人也可能意义非凡。在这个社会上，在熙熙攘攘的人群中，我们哪里还会记得某天人生终会走到尽头，更不知道那一天何时到来。所以，趁一切都还来得及，去赞美你爱着、关心着的人吧！

Snowfall in Childhood
The world had changed. All the houses, fences, and barren trees had new shapes.Everything was round and white and unfamiliar.
I set out through these new streets on a voyage of discovery. The unknown surrounded me.Through the thick falling snow, the trees, houses, and fences looked like ghost shapes that had floated down out of the sky during the night.The morning was without light, but the snowfall hung and swayed like a marvelous lantern over the streets. The snowbanks, already over my head in places, glowed mysteriously.
I was pleased with this new world. It seemed to belong to me more than that other world which lay hidden.
参考译文
童年漫天飞舞的雪花
世界变了个样。所有的房屋、栅栏还有光秃秃的树木都换了新颜。一切事物都变成圆乎乎的，银装素裹，看起来很陌生。
我启程踏上了探索之旅。穿过焕然一新的大街小巷，周遭显得十分陌生。隔着密集的落雪，树木、房屋还有栅栏仿佛是昨夜从天空中飘降的幽灵。清晨还没有光亮，而这纷飞的大雪仿佛一挂神奇的灯笼，摇摇晃晃地照着街巷。几处高过我的雪堆闪着神秘的光。
这个崭新的世界让我很开心。比起大雪掩埋的那个世界，它似乎和我更亲近。
