英语散文英汉互译： AnotherDoor When I come across a good essay in reading newspapers,I am often inclined to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the opposite side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to keep in good health,or advice about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.If I cut the front essay,the opposite one is bound to suffer damage,leaving out half of it or keeping the text without the subject.As a result,the scissors would stay before they shart,or halfway done when I find out the regretful consequence that inevitably causes my repentance. Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both deserving your attention.You can only take up one of them,the other has to wait or be given up.But you know the future is unpredictable--the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left behind.Thus you are caught in a fix and fix and feel sad.How come that nice opportunities and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once.It may happen that your life changes dramatically on you preference of one alternative to the other. In fact that is what life is like ： we are often faced with the two opposite aspects of a thing which are both desirable like newspaper cutting.It offen occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we are engaged in another.The former may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind.I still remember a philosophers remarks ：When one door shuts,another opens in life. So a casual or passive choice may not be a bad one. Whatever we do in our lifetime,wherever lifes storm tosses us,there must be something we can achieve,some shore we can land, that opens up new vistas to us.Dont forget God always keeps an alternative door open for every one.While the front door is closed,there must be another open for you. 参考译文： 平日读报，看到一篇好的文章时，总有把它剪下来的欲望。不过有时拿起剪刀的时候，才发现背面的文章也很有意思，或者教你如何养生，或者关照你如何做人处世。只要你剪了正面的文章，这背面的文章就要受损，或者只剩下半块，或者缺了文章题目。常常因舍不得反而弄得无法再下剪子。反悔和遗憾是在所难免
