1.Poet Laureate n.桂冠诗人
Be Happy! "The days that make us happy make us wise."----John Masefield when I first read this line by England's Poet Laureate,it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much,I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it. Finally,I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception,not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom,and without the blind spots caused by fear.
快乐 “快乐的日子使人睿智。” --- 约翰·梅斯菲尔德 第一次读到英国桂冠诗人梅斯菲尔德的这行诗时，我感到十分震惊。他想表达什么意思？我以前从未对此仔细考虑，总是认定这行诗反过来才正确。但他冷静而又胸有成竹的表达引起了我的注意，令我无法忘怀。 终于，我似乎领会了他的意思，并意识到这行诗意义深远。快乐带来的睿智存在于敏锐的洞察力之间，不会因忧虑而含混迷惑，也不会因绝望和厌倦而黯然模糊，更不会因恐惧而造成盲点。
