双语小说阅读:《谁动了我的奶酪》(1)Once, long ago in a land far away, there lived four little characters who ran through a maze looking for cheese to nourish them and make them happy.从前,在一个遥远的地方,住着四人小家伙。
为了填饱肚子和享受乐趣,他们每天在不远处的一座奇妙的迷宫里跑来跑去,在那里寻找一种叫做"奶酪"的黄橙橙、香喷喷的食物。
Two were mice named ''Sniff'' and ''Scurry'' and two were little people --beings who were as small as mice but who looked and acted a lot like people today. Their names were "Hem" and "Haw".有两个小家伙是老鼠,一个叫"嗅嗅",另一个叫"匆匆"。
另外两个家伙则是小矮人,和老鼠一般大小,但和人一个模样,而且他们的行为也和我们今天的人类差不多。
他的名字,一个叫"哼哼",另一个叫"唧唧"。
Due to their small size, it would be easy not to notice what the four of them were doing. But if you looked closely enough, you could discover the most amazing things!由于他们四个实在太小了,他们在干什么当然不太会吸引起旁人的注意。
It read:If Y ou Do Not Change, Y ou Can Become ExtinctThen, Haw stuck his head out and peered anxiously into the Maze. He thought about how he'd gotten himself into this cheeseless situation.He had believed that there may not be any Cheese in the Maze, or he may not find it. Such fearfiil beliefs were immobilizing and killing him.Haw smiled. He knew Hem was wondering, "Who Moved My Cheese?" but Haw was wondering, "Why didn't I get up and move with the Cheese sooner?"As he started out into the Maze, Haw looked back to where he had come from and felt its comfort. He could feel himself being drawn back into familiar territory -- even though he hadn't found Cheese there for some time.Haw became more anxious and wondered if he really wanted to go out into the Maze. He wrote a saying on the wall ahead of him and stared at it for some time:What would you do if you weren't afraid?He thought about it.He knew that, sometimes, some fear can be good. When you are afraid things are going to get worse if you don't do something, it can prompt you into action. But it is not good when you are so afraid that it keeps you from doing anything.He looked to his right, to the part of the Maze where he had never been, and fel t the fear.Then, he took a deep breath, turned right into the Maze, and jogged slowly into the unknown.As he tried to find his way, Haw worried, at first, that he might have waited too long in Cheese Station C. He hadn't had any Cheese for so long that he was now weak. It took him longer and it was more painflil than usual to get through the Maze. He decided that if he ever got the chance again, he would get out of his comfort zone and adapt to change sooner. It would make things easier.Then, Haw smiled a weak smile as he thought, "Beffer late than never."During the next several days, Haw found a little Cheese here and there, but nothing that lasted very long. He had hoped to find enough Cheese to take some back to Hem and encourage him to come out into the Maze.But Haw didn't feel confident enough yet. He had to admit, he found it confusing in the Maze. Things seemed to have changed since the last time he was out here.Just when he thought he was getting ahead, he would get lost in the corridors. It seemed his progress was two steps forward and one step backward. It was a challenge, but he had to admit that being back in the Maze, hunting for Cheese, wasn't nearly as bad as he had feared it might be.As time went on, he began to wonder if it was realistic for him to expect to find New Cheese. He wondered if he had bitten off more than he could chew. Then he laughed, realizing that he had nothing to chew on at the moment.Whenever he started to get discouraged, he reminded himself that what he was doing, as uncomfortable as it was at the moment, was in reality much better than staying in the Cheeselesssituation. He was taking control, rather than simply letting things happen to him.Then he reminded himself, if Sniff and Scurry could move on, so could he!Later, as Haw looked back on things, he realized that the Cheese at Cheese Station C had not just disappeared overnight, as he had once believed. The amount of Cheese that had been there toward the end had been getting smaller, and what was left had grown old. It didn't taste as good.Mold may even have begun to grow on the Old Cheese, although he hadn't noticed it. He had to admit, however, that if he had wanted to, he probably could have seen what was coming. But he hadn't.Haw now realized that the change probably would not have taken him by surprise if he had been watching what was happening all along and if he had anticipated change. Maybe that's what Sniff and Scurry had been doing.He decided he would stay more alert from now on. He would expect change to happen and look for it. He would trust his basic instincts to sense when change was going to occur and be ready to adapt to it.墙上的话是:如果你不改变,你就会被淘汰。
Who Moved My Cheese? (1)|谁动了我奶酪?Two were mice, named “Sniff3” and “Scurry4” and two were littlepeople-beings5 who were as small as mice but who looked and acted a lot like people today. Their names were “Hem6” and “Haw7.”Due to their small size, it would be easy not to notice what the four of them were doing. But if you looked closely enough, you could discover the most amazing things!Every day the mice and the little people spent time in the maze looking for their own special cheese. The mice, Sniff and Scurry, possessing8 only simple rodent9 brains, but good instincts10, searched for the hard nibbling11 cheese they liked, as mice often do.The two littlepeople, Hem and Haw, used their brains, filled with many beliefs and emotions12, to search for a very different kind of Cheese—with a capital 13 C—which they believed would make them feel happy and successful.As different as the mice and littlepeople were, they shared something in common: every morning, they each put on their jogging14 suits and running shoes, left their little homes, and raced out into the maze looking for their favorite cheese.The maze was a labyrinth15 of corridors16 and chambers17, some containing delicious cheese. But there were also dark corners and blind alleys18 leading nowhere. It was an easy place for anyone to get lost.However, for those who found their way, the maze held secrets that let them enjoy a better life.The mice, Sniff and Scurry, used the simple, but inefficient19, trial-and-error20 method of finding cheese. They ran down one corridor and if it proved empty, they turned and ran down another.Sniff would smell out the general direction of the cheese, using his great nose, and Scurry would race ahead. They got lost, as you might expect, went off 21 in the wrong direction and often bumped 22 into walls.However, the two littlepeople, Hem and Haw, used a different method that relied on23 their ability to think and learn from their past experiences, although, they would sometimes get confused24 by their beliefs and emotions.Eventually25 in their own way, they all discovered what they were looking for —they each found their own kind of cheese one day at the end of one of the corridors in Cheese Station C.Every morning after that, the mice and the littlepeople dressed in their running gear26 and headed27 over to Cheese Station C. It wasn’t long before they each established their own routine.Sniff and Scurry continued to wake early every day and race through the maze, always following the same route.When they arrived at their destination, the mice took off their running shoes, tied them together and hung them around their necks—so they could get to them quickly whenever they needed them again. Then they enjoyed the cheese.In the beginning Hem and Haw also raced toward Cheese Station C every morning to enjoy the tasty new morsels28 that awaited them.But after a while, a different routine set in29 for the littlepeople.Hem and Haw awoke each day a little later, dressed a little slower, and walked to CheeseStation C. After all, they knew where the Cheese was now and how to get there.They had no idea where the Cheese came from, or who put it there. They just assumed 30 it would be there.As soon as Hem and Haw arrived at Cheese Station C each morning, they settled in31 and made themselves at home. They hung up32their jogging suits, put away33 their running shoes and put on their slippers34. They were becoming very comfortable now that they had found the Cheese.“This is great,” Hem said. “There’s enough Cheese here to last us forever.” The littlepeople felt happy and successful, and thought they were now secure.It wasn’t long before Hem and Haw regarded the Cheese they found at Cheese Station C as their cheese. It was such a large store of Cheese that they eventually moved their homes to be closer to it, and built a social life around it.To make themselves feel more at home, Hem and Haw decorated35 the walls with sayings and even drew pictures of Cheese around them which made them smile. One read: Having Cheese Makes You Happy.Sometimes Hem and Haw would take their friends by to see their pile of Cheese at Cheese Station C, and point to it with pride, saying, “Pretty nice Cheese, huh?” Sometimes they shared it with their friends and sometimes they didn’t.“We deserve this Cheese,” Hem said. “We certainly had to work long and hard enough to find it.” He picked up a nice fresh piece and ate it.Afterwards, Hem fell asleep, as he often did.Every night the littlepeople would waddle36 home, full of Cheese, and every morning they would confidently return for more.This went on for quite some time.After a while Hem’s and Haw’s confidence grew into arrogance37. Soon they became so comforta ble they didn’t even notice what was happening.As time went on, Sniff and Scurry continued their routine. They arrived early each morning and sniffed and scratched 38 and scurried 39 around Cheese Station C, inspecting40 the area to see if there had been any changes from the day before. Then they would sit down to nibble on the cheese.从前,在一个遥远地方,住着四个小家伙。

Since they had noticed the supply of cheese had been getting smaller every day, they were prepared for the inevitable & knew instinctively what to do. They were quickly off in search of New Cheese.Later that same day, Hem & Haw arrived. “What! No Cheese? Who moved my Cheese? It’s not fair!”, Hem yelled. They went home that night hungry & discouraged. But before they left, Haw wrote on the wall: The More Important Your Cheese is To You, The More You Want To Hold Onto It.The next day Hem & Haw left their homes, & returned to Cheese Station C. But situation hadn’t changed. Haw asked, “Where are Sniff & Scurry? Do you think they know something we don’t?” Hem scoffed, “What would they know? They’re just simple mice. They just respond to what happens. We’re little people. We’re smarter.”Haw suggested, “Maybe we should stop analyzing the situation so much and just get going & find some New Cheese.Haw decided to leave Cheese Station C while Hem was more comfortable staying in the cheeseless Station C. Haw announced, “It’s MAZE time!” and wrote:If You Do Not Change,You Can Become ExtinctWho Moved My Cheese?Meanwhile, Sniff & Scurry went farther into the maze until they found Cheese Station N.

Then, Haw remembered the times when he had felt his best in the Maze. It was when he was moving along. He wrote:Movement In A New Direction Helps You FindNew Cheese.As Haw started running down the dark corridor, he began to smile. Haw didn’t realize it yet, but he was discovering what nourished his soul.

He stopped to write again on the wall:When You Move Beyond Your Fear,You Feel Free.Who Moved My Cheese?To make things even better, Haw started to paint a picture in his mind again.

DR SPENCER JOHNSON-Foreword by KENNETH BLANCHARD Ph.D.“Life is no straight and every corridor alongwhich we travel free and unhampered,but a maze of passages,生活并非像走廊,我们可以自由穿过,没有障碍,而是一个迷宫。
through which we must seek our way,lost and confused, now and againchecked in a blind alley.在这个迷宫,我们必须不断探索自己的路,虽然会迷失和困惑。
But always, if we have faith,God will open a door for us,Not perhaps one that we ourselveswould ever have thought of,But one that will ultimatelyprove good for us.”但是,如果我们有信仰,上帝就会为我们打开一扇门,也许这不是我们相像的那样,但最终证明对我们是很有好处的。
全球第一畅销书《谁动了我的奶酪》虚构了四个角色:嗅嗅、匆匆、哼哼和唧唧。
嗅嗅能够及时嗅出变化;匆匆行动迅速;哼哼害怕变化,拒绝变化;唧唧能够及时调整自己去适应变化。
聪明的读者,你更像谁?long ago in a land far away, there lived four little characters who ran through a maze looking for cheese to nourish them and make them ha ppy.从前,在一个遥远的地方,住着四个小家伙。
为了填饱肚子和享受生活,他们终日穿行在一座迷宫里,寻找“奶酪”。
Two were mice, named “Sniff ” and “Scurry” and two were littlepeopl e-beings who were as small as mice but who looked and acted a lot lik e people today. their names were “Hem” and “Haw.”其中有两只小老鼠,一个叫“嗅嗅”,另一个叫“匆匆”。
还有两个和老鼠一般大小的小矮人,模样和行为看上去像今天的人类。
他俩一个叫“哼哼”,另一个叫“唧唧”。
Due to their small size, it would be easy not to notice what the fo ur of them were doing. But if you looked closely enough, you could disc over the most amazing things!由于他们个头太小,他们干什么自然不容易引起旁人注意。
但如果凑近仔细看,你会发现非常令人称奇的事情!Every day the mice and the little people spent time in the maze loo king for their own special cheese. The mice, Sniff and Scurry, possessin g only simple rodent brains, but good instincts, searched for the hard ni bbling cheese they liked, as mice often do.每天两只小老鼠和两个小矮人在迷宫里打发时间,寻找适合自己的特别奶酪。
嗅嗅、匆匆和其他啮齿类动物一样头脑简单,但直觉良好。
和别的老鼠一样,他们寻找的是那种适合啃咬的硬奶酪。
the two littlepeople, Hem and Haw, used their brains, filled with ma ny beliefs and emotions, to search for a very different kind of Cheese—with a capital 13 C—which they believed would make them feel happy a nd successful.两个小矮人,哼哼和唧唧,则靠脑袋行事,拥有各种信念和情感。
他们要找的是一种不同寻常的奶酪——带有大写字母“C”的奶酪。
他们相信,这样的奶酪会给他们带来快乐和成功。
As different as the mice and littlepeople were, they shared somethin g in common: every morning, they each put on their jogging suits and r unning shoes, left their little homes, and raced out into the maze looking for their favorite cheese.尽管小老鼠和小矮人目标不同,但他们有一个共同点: 每天早上,他们各自穿上运动服和跑鞋,离开他们的小房子,跑进迷宫寻找他们各自钟爱的奶酪。
the maze was a labyrinth15 of corridors16 and chambers17, some c ontaining delicious cheese. But there were also dark corners and blind al leys18 leading nowhere. It was an easy place for anyone to get lost.迷宫中有许多走廊和房间,其中一些藏有美味奶酪,但也有一些黑暗的角落和死胡同,任何人走进去都容易迷路。
However, for those who found their way, the maze held secrets that let them enjoy a better life.然而,对找到出路的人来说,迷宫还有一些秘密,能使他们享受更美好的生活。
the mice, Sniff and Scurry, used the simple, but inefficient19, trial-an d-error20 method of finding cheese. They ran down one corridor and if it proved empty, they turned and ran down another.小老鼠嗅嗅和匆匆,总是运用简单低效的办法反复尝试寻找奶酪。
他们跑进一条走廊,如果发现空空如也,就掉头拐进另一条走廊搜寻。
Sniff would smell out the general direction of the cheese, using his GREat nose, and Scurry would race ahead. They got lost, as you might expect, went off 21 in the wrong direction and often bumped 22 into w alls.嗅嗅可以用他了不起的鼻子嗅出奶酪的大致方向,匆匆则跑在前面开路。
不出所料,他们经常迷路走错方向,常常撞到墙上。
However, the two littlepeople, Hem and Haw, used a different metho d that relied on23 their ability to think and learn from their past experien ces, although, they would sometimes get confused24 by their beliefs and emotions.而两个小矮人,哼哼和唧唧,则依靠他们的思维能力,用不同的方法,从过去的经验中学习。
但有时也会被信念和感情弄糊涂。
Eventually25 in their own way, they all discovered what they were lo oking for —they each found their own kind of cheese one day at the en d of one of the corridors in Cheese Station C.最后,终于有一天,在某条走廊尽头的奶酪C站,他们凭借自己的方式找到了他们想要的东西。
Every morning after that, the mice and the littlepeople dressed in thei r running gear26 and headed27 over to Cheese Station C. It wasn't long before they each established their own routine.从那以后,这四个家伙每天早上穿上跑步的行头,直奔奶酪C站。
不久,他们建立了一条各自的常规线路。
Sniff and Scurry continued to wake early every day and race throug h the maze, always following the same route.嗅嗅和匆匆仍旧每天起得很早,总是沿着相同的路线跑进迷宫。
When they arrived at their destination, the mice took off their runnin g shoes, tied them together and hung them around their necks—so they could get to them quickly whenever they needed them again. Then they enjoyed the cheese.老鼠们到达目的地后,脱下跑鞋,将两只鞋系在一起,挂在脖子上——以便需要时随时取下。
然后,他们开始尽情享用奶酪。
In the beginning Hem and Haw also raced toward Cheese Station C every morning to enjoy the tasty new morsels28 that awaited them.But after a while, a different routine set in29 for the littlepeople.起初,哼哼和唧唧也是每天一大早赶到奶酪C站,享用等在那里的美味佳肴。
然而不久,小矮人们改变了他们的常规。
Hem and Haw awoke each day a little later, dressed a little slower, and walked to Cheese Station C. After all, they knew where the Cheese was now and how to get there.哼哼和唧唧每天起得晚了,穿戴也慢了,然后漫步走到奶酪C站。
毕竟,他们知道了奶酪站的位置,也知道通向奶酪站的线路。
they had no idea where the Cheese came from, or who put it there. They just assumed 30 it would be there.他们不知道奶酪从何而来,又是谁把它们放在了那里。
