Life is like a train ride. We get on. We ride. We get off.We get back on and ride some more. There are accidents and there are delays. At certain stops there are surprises. Some of these will translate into great moments of joy; some will result in profound sorrow.
人生就如一趟火車之旅。我們上車，前進，下車。接著，我們又回到火車上，再乘坐幾程。這當(dāng)中會有意外發(fā)生，也會出現(xiàn)延誤的情況。在某些站點，我們會遇上令人驚異之事，或會化作喜悅時刻，或會以刻骨悲痛收場。
When we are born and we first board the train, we meet people whom we think will be with us for the entire journey. Those people areour parents! Sadly, this is far from the truth. Our parents are with us for aslong as we absolutely need them. They, too, have journeys they must complete.We live on with the memories of their love, affection, friendship, guidance and their constant presence.
出生后，第一次踏上火車時，我們會遇見一些我們自以為將陪伴我們走完整個旅程的人，那就是我們的父母!令人難過的是,事實遠不是如此。在我們的確需要我們的父母時，他們會在我們身邊。但他們也有他們必須完成的旅程。帶著他們的愛、深情、友誼、指引和時刻相伴的這些記憶，我們繼續(xù)著自己的生活。
There are others who board the train and who eventually become very important to us, in turn. These people are our brothers, sisters,friends and acquaintances, whom we will learn to love, and cherish.
還有些登上火車的人最終會成為對于我們至關(guān)重要的人。這些人就是我們的兄弟、姐妹、朋友和熟人，我們將學(xué)著去愛他們，去珍惜他們。
Some people consider their journey like a jaunty tour. They will just go merrily along. Others will encounter many upsets, tears and losseson their journey. Others still, willlinger on to offer a helping hand to anyone in need.
有些人把他們的人生看作是一次無憂無慮的旅程，他們一路上都會快樂前行。另一些人會在他們的旅程中遇上許多煩心的事，淚流連連，每每失落。另一些人則會駐足停留，向任何需要幫助的人伸出援手。
linger [’l??g?]vi. 徘徊;茍延殘喘;磨蹭 vt. 消磨;緩慢度過
Some people on the train will leave an everlasting impression when they get off. Some will get on and get off the train so quickly, they will scarcely leave a sign that they ever travelled along with you or ever crossed your path.
火車上的一些人下了車，還會讓你久久難忘。一些人匆匆上車又匆匆下車，幾乎沒留下任何曾和你一同走過一段旅程抑或曾遇上你的痕跡。

We will sometimes be upset that some passengers, whom we love, will choose to sit in another compartment and leave us to travel onour own. Then again, there’snothing that says we can’t seek them out anyway. Nevertheless, once sought out and found, we may not even be able to sit next to them because that seat will already be taken.
有時，當(dāng)我們所愛之人選擇坐在另一節(jié)車廂里，留我們獨自旅行時，我們會感到心煩意亂。但話說回來，也沒規(guī)定說我們不能主動去找他們。然而，一旦找到，我們卻會發(fā)現(xiàn)，自己也許已不能坐在他們身旁了，因為那個位置已被別人占了。
compartment [k?m’pɑ?tm(?)nt]n.[建] 隔間;區(qū)劃;臥車上的小客房 vt. 分隔;劃分

We must strive to make the best of it… no matter what. We must constantly strive to understand our travel companions and look for the best in everyone.
無論如何，我們必須努力使我們的人生之旅過得充實精彩。我們必須不斷努力去理解我們的旅伴，從他們每個人身上發(fā)掘最亮的閃光點。
