please read the story carefully,and then translate the sentences which are marked in red or summarize what's the story's main idea,and tell me what are you thinking about when you read the whole story~Don't be shy,just make your imagination fly in your sky!

There was a man. He had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things to go and look at a pear tree that was far away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring the third in summer, the youngest son in fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent and weak .the second son said no-it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son said it was laden with blossoms and they smelt so sweet and looked so beautiful. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said it was ripe and droop with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then said to his sons that they were all right, because they each had seen but only one season in the tree's life. he told them that they cannot judge a tree or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are--the pleasure, the joy and love that come from that life --can only be measured at the end , when all the seasons are up .

If you give up when it is winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer ,the fulfillment of your fall .don' let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

有一男人，他有四个孩子，他希望他的孩子们不要在意已经过去的事，而要帮忙看护远方的梨树。
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring the third in summer, the youngest son in fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
大哥冬天去了，二哥春天去了，三哥是夏天去了，最小的的秋天去了。但当他们去后返回时，他让孩子们集合起来，说说他们的所见所闻

The third son said it was laden with blossoms and they smelt so sweet and looked so beautiful. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said it was ripe and droop with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
大哥说那树太丑了，有点曲而弱，二哥说它并不是那样的，他有绿色的芽和充满希望的气息，三哥说它开满了花，闻上去很香，看上去很美。最小的弟弟并不同意，他说它熟了，枝头挂满果实，有硕果累累的感觉。
The man then said to his sons that they were all right, because they each had seen but only one season in the tree's life. he told them that they cannot judge a tree or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are--the pleasure, the joy and love that come from that life --can only be measured at the end , when all the seasons are up .
那男人说他们全都是对的，因为他们分别看到的只是每个季节里的树，他告诉他们不要只用一个季节的时间来看待一个人或者一棵树，最重要的是从那得到的欢笑，愉悦与关爱，这才是季节尽头时用以衡量的标准。
If you give up when it is winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer ,the fulfillment of your fall .don' let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
如果在冬天放弃，你将会错过冬天的希望，夏天的美丽，秋天的丰收，别把一个季节的痛苦损坏所有的愉悦。

他告诉他们不能从一个方面判断一颗树或者一个人，生活中的欢乐愉快和爱只有到季末才能全面衡量。
If you give up when it is winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer ,the fulfillment of your fall .don' let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
如果你们放弃了冬天，那么你们就要错过春天的承诺，夏天的美丽，秋天的收获。不要让一个季节的伤痛破坏了剩余季节的欢快。
