✨ 哗啦哗啦,咱一起流吧 ✨
✨ Gurgle, Gurgle. Let's Flow Together ✨
下午,喜乐芽蹲在玉泉边。💧
In the afternoon, Xileya squats beside the Jade Spring. 💧
泉水细细暖暖地流着,
流过石头🪨,流过青苔🌿,流过阳光☀️,
像一首唱了很久很久的歌。
The spring flows gently and warmly,
over stones 🪨, over moss 🌿, through sunlight ☀️,
like a song that has been sung for a very long time.
喜乐芽托着下巴看了半天,问:🤔
Xileya rests her chin on her hands for a long while, then asks: 🤔
“泉呀,你一直流,不累吗?
要不要换我流一会儿?”
“Spring, you've been flowing all this time. Aren't you tired?
Would you like me to flow for a while instead?”
玉泉没有回答。
The Jade Spring does not answer.
它只是哗啦哗啦地流着,
在笑,在唱歌。🎶
It simply keeps gurgling along, laughing and singing at the same time. 🎶
晚饭时,喜乐芽把问题带到了餐桌上。🍲
At dinner, Xileya brings the question to the table. 🍲
爷爷笑了。👴
Grandpa smiles. 👴
“水要是停着不动,就不再清甜了。
玉泉这么香,说明它喜欢流呀。”
“If water stops moving, it loses its freshness and sweetness.
The Jade Spring smells so lovely because it enjoys flowing.”
奶奶点点头。👵
Grandma nods. 👵
“爱不流动,会变成委屈。
感恩不流动,会慢慢被忘记。”
“Love that does not flow turns into resentment.
Gratitude that does not flow is slowly forgotten.”
恩轻轻摸了摸她的头。🤍
En gently pats her head. 🤍
“玉泉不是因为必须流,才一直流。”
“The Jade Spring does not keep flowing because it must.”
“它是因为喜欢,所以愿意流。”
“It flows because it loves to, and willingly chooses to.”
德把热汤递给她。🥣
De hands her a bowl of hot soup. 🥣
“就像咱每天愿意分享、愿意帮助、愿意爱彼此一样。”
“Just like how we choose each day to share, to help, and to love one another.”
喜乐芽捧着汤,小口喝着。
Xileya holds the bowl and takes small sips.
忽然,她的眼睛亮了起来。✨
Suddenly, her eyes light up. ✨
“我懂啦!”
“I understand now!”
“它不是因为不累才流。”
“It doesn't flow because it never gets tired.”
“而是因为流动本身就很快乐!”
“It flows because flowing itself is joyful!”
说完,她开心地跑到后院。🏃♀️💨
With that, she happily runs into the backyard. 🏃♀️💨
小手伸进泉水里,轻轻一捧。💦
She dips her little hands into the spring and gently scoops up some water. 💦
哗——
Whoosh— 💦
无数晶亮的水珠飞起来,
在阳光下变成一弯小小的彩虹。🌈
Countless sparkling droplets leap into the air
and become a tiny rainbow in the sunlig
