Our meeting is so short and accidental(萍水相逢)
During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was
a famous poet whose name was (Wang Bo).
He wrote a well-known article. There are 29
sentences in his article, which later became idioms.
There is a paragraph in this article as
follows.
I looked up at this boundless sky, and I
looked down at this vast land.
I am in this huge space, and I feel the
passing of time.
I felt very happy, but then I felt great
sadness.
I realize that all things succeed and fail,
and there is its own time for prosperity and decline.
I looked around.
Even if I can walk all over the land where
I stand, how can I explore the unfathomable ocean at the end of the land.
Even if I can grow wings and fly into the
sky, I cannot fly to the North Star at the end of the sky.
How small we humans are.
Each of us has its own difficulties in life,
and our feelings cannot be understood by others.
Each of us is like a piece of duckweed,
floating on the water, and separated from each other as soon as the wind blows.
I want to achieve my ideals, but will I
have a chance to accomplish my goals in my lifetime?
The direct translation of this idiom means
that if I am water, you are a piece of duckweed on the water. Our meeting is so
short and accidental.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Have you ever lamented the greatness of the
universe and your own insignificance? Do you grasp every opportunity to get
along with others?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
萍水相逢(Our meeting is so short and
accidental)
中國的唐王朝時代，有一個著名的詩人，他的名字是(王勃)。
他寫過一篇著名的文章，他這篇文章中有29個句子，後來成為成語。
這首文章中有一段如下。
我抬頭看這一片沒有邊際的天空，我低頭看著這一片遼闊的大地。
我在這個巨大的空間裡面，我感受到時間的流逝。
我感覺到非常快樂，但我接著感覺巨大的悲傷。
我體會到所有事情的成功與失敗，興盛與衰亡都有各自的時候。
我環顧四週，。
我就算可以走遍我站的這片土地，但土地盡頭那一片深不可測的海洋我如何探索呢。
我就算可以長出翅膀飛到天空中，但我無法飛到天空盡頭的那一顆北極星。
我們人類是多麼的渺小啊。
我們每個人的人生都有各自的艱難，我們的感受別人都無法理解。
我們每個人都像是一片浮萍，漂浮在水面上，被風一吹就離開了彼此分離。
我想實現我的理想，但我有生之年是否有機會能夠完成我的目標嗎?
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是如果我是水，你就是水面上的一片浮萍。我們的相聚是如此的短暫與偶然。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你是否曾經感嘆宇宙的偉大與自已的渺小呢?你是否把握與他人相處的每一個機會呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
