A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her ,She did not know she was going to make it and wantde to give up.
女兒向父親抱怨她的生活，她覺得凡事都很艱難，不知該怎樣面對，想放棄。
She was tired of fighting and struggling .It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
她厭倦了不斷的抗爭和奮斗，好像一個問題剛解決，另一個有出現了。
Her father ,a cook ,took her to the kitchen ,He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high frie .Soon the pots came to a boil.
她的父親是名廚師，他把她帶進了廚房，在三個壺里分別裝了水，然后放到火上燒。很快， 壺里的水開了。
In one he placed carrots,in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans.He ler them sit and boil, without saying a word.
他一句話也沒說，往第一個壺里放了些胡蘿卜，往第二個壺里放了雞蛋，在最后一個里放了些磨碎的咖啡豆，讓他們煮沸。
The daughter sucked her teech and impatiently waited ,wondering what he was doing.In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners, He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl.
女兒撅著嘴，不耐煩得等著，對父親的行為感到很納悶。大約二十分鐘后，父親關了火爐， 把胡蘿卜倒進一個碗里。
He pulled the eggs out and placed them a bowl.Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug.Turning to her he asked,"Darling,what do you see?" "Carrots, eggs ,and coffee."she repled.
又把雞蛋拿出來放進另一個碗里，接著把咖啡倒進一個杯子里，然 后轉過頭來，對她說，“親愛的，你看見了什么？” “胡蘿卜、雞蛋和咖啡。”她答道。
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots ,She did and noted that they were soft .
父親讓她去摸胡蘿卜，她覺得它們變柔軟了。
He then asked her to take an egg and break it,After pulling off the shell ,she obsered the hard-boiled egg.
然后，他又讓她去把雞蛋敲破、把殼剝掉后，她看到了一個熟雞蛋。
Finally,he asked her to sip the coffee .She smiled ,as she tasted its rich aroma. "What does it mean ,Father?"she humly asked .
最后，父親要她喝咖啡。鏟倒芳香四溢的咖啡，她笑了。 “這是什么意思，父親/?"她謙恭的問道。
He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water ,but each reacted differently,The carrot went in strong, hard ,and unrelenting ,But after being subjected to the boiling water ,it softened and weak.
父親解釋說，這三洋東西面臨著同樣的逆境-----煮沸的水。但它們的反映卻各不相同。胡蘿 卜本是強硬，堅固而不甘示弱的，但受到開水的影響后，它變得柔軟而脆弱。
The egg had being fragile, Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior.But after sitting through the boiling water ,its inside became hard ened ,The ground coffee beans were unique ,however ,After they were in the boiling water ,they had changed the water . "Which are you?"he asked his daughter. When adversity knocks on your door ,how do you respond?Are you a carrot ,an egg ,or a coffee bean?
雞蛋本來易碎， 薄薄的外殼保護著內部的液體。但是開水煮過以后，它的內部卻變得堅硬。不過，最獨特的 卻是磨碎的咖啡豆，經過沸騰的水后，它們卻改變了水。“哪一個是你呢？”他問女兒。當不幸降臨到你頭上時，你該如何應對呢？你是胡蘿卜、雞蛋，還是咖啡豆？
