read the story carefully and then translate the phrases which are marked in red or write down what you get from the story to gain the score. 试着翻译红色的部分或者发表自己的看法.

       Once a circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

       There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.

Just slow down and enjoy the beautiful things along the road!
So is our lives! But in the competitive society,our lives becomes faster and faster. We have no time to have a rest and take care of our parents.At last,we lose ourselives!

这样的健全与完整说的是一个人能够对自己的缺陷欣然接受,对于不切实际的理想勇敢地主动放手而不是无可奈何地被迫放弃。这样的健全与完整说的是一个男人或者女人能认识到自己能够坚强地度过挫折而生存下去,即便是有所失去,也会依然觉得自己是个完整的人。

To  contrast with the reference translation , my translation is a little terrible. It's obviously that I have made a mistake whlie translated the sentence pattern "there is...."

有一种完整的人他像缺陷妥协,然后勇敢的放弃自己不切实际的梦想而不觉得这是一种失败;有一种完整的人,他觉得自己强大到足以承受悲剧和生存,他宁愿失去所有也要让自己成为一个完整的人

生活中有一种完整的人生,就是在他有限的生命里勇于实现所谓不切实际的梦想,从来不觉得是一种失败。还有一种完美的男人或者女人有足够的勇气面对灾难和生存,她可能失去了一些什么,但是仍然感觉她是一个完美的人。

完美的人能正视自己的缺陷,并且在勇敢地放弃那些不切实际的梦想时不认为自己是个失败者。完美的人有这种自知,他们知道自己足够的坚强在经历磨难后仍能幸存,即使有所失也无怨无悔。
