　　The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was full of scars.

In fact, in some places there were deep gouges5) where whole pieces were missing. 

　　The young man laughed. "Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars."

　　"Yes," said the old man, "Yours looks perfect but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the empty place in my heart. 

　　"But because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

　　"Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his or her heart to me. These are the empty gouges - giving love is taking a chance. 

　　"Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I've been waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"

　　The young man walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect heart, and ripped6) a piece out. He offered it to the old man. 内容来自

　　一天,一个年轻人站在镇子的核心,宣称他领有全体山谷最漂亮的心。一大群人围了过来,都交口称赞年轻人的心,由于这颗心完善无瑕。

　　一位老者突然浮现了,说道:"嗨,你的心可不如我的心美丽啊!"

　　这群人跟年轻人都看了看老者的心,只见上面充斥创痕。心上的一些部分被取走了,另外补上了其余人的,但并不十分吻合,还有多少处边沿错落不齐。事实上,他的心上有些地方留下了深深的凹痕,整瓣整瓣的心都不见了。

　　年青人笑道:"跟你的心比较,我的心才是完美的,你的心满是疤痕。"

　　"没错,"老者说:"你的心看上去很完美,然而我永远不会跟你交换。你瞧,每处伤痕都代表一个我曾爱过的人。我撕下自己的一片心给他们,他们往往也会给我一片他们的心,补充我心中缺失的那部分。

　　"然而因为每片心大小并不完全相同,我的心有些毛糙的边缘,不过我很爱惜,因为它们让我想起咱们之间分享过的爱。

　　"有时我把本人的多少片心送出去,其别人却不向我回馈他们的心。这些便成了空着的深痕--付出爱本来就是一种冒险。

　　"只管这些凹痕让我感到痛楚,但它们敞开着,让我想起我对他们付出的爱,并渴望有朝一日能得到回馈,填满这等待已久的空间。所以,当初你明白什么才是真正的美了吗?"

　　年轻人走到老者面前,把手伸进自己完美的心中,撕下了一片,赠给了老者。

　　老者把这片心放进自己的心里,而后从自己那颗苍老而又创痕累累的心上撕下一片,放入年轻人心上的伤口。固然可能放进去,但不非常吻合,因为有的边缘凹凸不平。 本文来自：英语之家

　　年轻人看了看自己的心,它诚然不再完美,却更加美丽,因为老者心中的爱流入了他的心田。

　　他们彼此拥抱,而后并肩前行。

　　人这一生如果始终保持着一颗完整未动的心是如允许悲啊!
