When I come across a good essay in reading a newspaper,
讀報時,看到一篇好文章,
I would like to cut it out and keep it.
總想把它剪下來收藏。
But sometimes just as I am about to do so,
但有時就在我拿起剪刀準備剪的時候,
I find the article on the opposite side just as interesting.
才發(fā)現(xiàn)反面的文章也很有趣,
It may be a discussion of the way to keep health,
它要么是討論如何保持健康,
or advice about how to behave oneself in society.
要么是建議你怎樣為人處世。
If I cut the front essay out,
假如你剪了這面的文章,
the opposite one is sure to be damaged,
那面的文章勢必會被損壞,
leaving out half of it or keeping the text without its subject.
只留下一半或缺少文章題目。
As a result, the scissors would stop before they start
因此,舉起的剪刀往往停留在半空舍不得再剪,
when I find out the possible result that will surely cause my regret.
此時我預計到了一定會使我后悔、遺憾的后果。
