Holi — A festival in India 　每年2月底或3月初，即印度历12月的月圆之夜，印度教的传统大节胡里节(也叫洒红节)就要开始了。上至达官显贵，下至寻常百姓，都载歌载舞，尽情地用五彩缤纷的颜色装扮起来，迎接春天的到来。到时候，印度人为了表示喜庆和祝福，会向人们身上泼洒五颜六色的颜料。 胡里节源于印度的著名史诗《摩诃婆罗多》。传说，从前有一位国王暴虐无道，狂妄自大，连天神也不放在眼里。一天，暴君对国民宣布，不准人们再提天神的名字，举国上下只能崇拜他一个人，否则就严加惩处。王子是天神的忠实信徒。他公开反对父亲，对天神依然虔诚如初。因此，暴君对王子怀恨在心，千方百计要陷害他。暴君叫人把王子推下万丈悬崖，但王子没有摔死。后来，暴君又命大象踩死王子，也未得逞。 暴君的妹妹名叫胡里，曾得神灵保佑不怕火烧，因此，暴君就让胡里抱住王子跳进熊熊燃烧的火中，企图烧死王子。孰料，王子毫发未损，胡里却葬身火海。当王子走出火堆时，人们向王子洒七色彩粉，表达对善良的赞颂和对邪恶的憎恨。每年人们都将柴草堆成一堆，象征助纣为虐的胡里，将其焚烧。据说，在此期间，人们可以大声说脏话，甚至骂人，表示对坏人的唾弃。 1 Dont look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you know youll be dead. 生于忧患,死于安乐. 2 A dog starving at his masters gate predicts the ruin of the state. 树死先从叶子黄. 3 I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by custom. 宁愿创新,不愿陈腐. 4 Gather you rosebuds while you may, old time is still a flying, and this same flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying.有花堪折直须折，莫待无花空折枝。(未雨绸缪). 5 However big the fool, there is always a bigger fool to admire him. 傻瓜总会发现有比他更傻的人在赞美他. 6 Belief, then, is the great guide of human life. 信仰是生活的向导. 7 Other peoples harvests are always the best harvests, but ones own children are always the best children.?别人的成就/收获怎么看都比自己的好,而自己的孩子怎么看都比别人的孩子好. 8 There is no feast on earth that does not end in parting.?天下没有不散的宴席. 9 Everyone has some tricks they can do, but each has his own way of doing them.?八仙过海,各显神通. 10 Those who can lose shall gain; t
