and historian历史学家 . During his lifetime he became one of the world's greatest writers. But he was a human and humans make mistakes.
On October 17, 1826, Carlyle married his secretary Jane Welsh. She was an intelligent聪明的 , attractive and somewhat temperamental喜怒无常的
daughter of a well-to-do doctor. They had their quarrels and misunderstandings, but still loved each other dearly.
After their marriage, Jane continued to serve as his secretary. But, after several years of marriage, Jane became ill. Being a hard worker, Carlyle became so absorbed in his writings that he let Jane continue working for several weeks after she became ill. She had cancer, and though it was one of the slow growing kind, she finally became confined受限制的 to her bed. Although Carlyle loved her dearly, he very seldom found time to stay with her long. He was busy with his work.
When Jane died they carried her to the cemetery墓地 for the service. The day was a m令人痛苦的iserable day. It was raining hard and the m泥，烂泥ud was

deep. Following the funeral葬礼 Carlyle went back to his home. He was taking it pretty hard. He went up the stairs to Jane's room and sat down in the chair next to her bed. He sat there thinking about how little time he had spent with her and wishing so much he had a chance to do it differently. Noticing her diary on a table beside the bed, he picked it up and began to read it. Suddenly he became shocked. He saw it. There, on one page, she had written a single line. "Yesterday he spent an hour with me and it was like heaven; I love him so."
Something dawned on him that he had not noticed before. He had been too busy to notice that he meant so much to her. He thought of all the times he had gone about his work without thinking about and noticing her. Then Carlyle turned the page in the diary. There he noticed she had written some words that broke his heart. "I have listened all day to hear his steps in the hall, but now it is late and I guess he won't come today."
Carlyle read a little more in the book. Then he threw it down and ran out of the house. Some of his friends found him at the grave, his face buried in the mud. His eyes were red from weeping. Tears continued to roll down his cheeks. He kept repeating over and over again, "If I had only known." But it was too late for Carlyle. Jane was dead.
After Jane's death, Carlyle made little attempt to write again. The historians say he lived another 15 years, "w委靡的，疲倦的eary, bored and a
partial部分的 r隐士，隐居者ecluse." Here we share the story with you in the hope that you will not make the same mistake. While our loved ones must have the money we make to live, it is the love we have that they really want.

2．Love Scar爱的伤疤
Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house.
In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes,
socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an a美洲鳄，短吻鳄lligator was swimming toward the shore. His mother—in the house was looking out of the window—saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In u彻底的，完全的tter
fear, she ran toward the water, y大喊，叫喊elling to her son as loudly as she could.
Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was just too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.
From the d码头ock, the mother g攫取，抓住rabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched 夺走，抢去 his legs. That began an incredible 难以置信的 tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too p热切的，强烈的assionate to let go. A farmer

happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the v残酷的，狠毒的icious attack of the animal and, on his arms, were deep scratches抓，挠 where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the
t

rauma, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, "But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn't let go."
You and I can identify认出，识别 with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, or anything quite so dramatic. But, the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.
Sometimes we foolishly w走过ade into dangerous situations. The swimming hole of life is filled with peril and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack. That's when the tug-of-war begins and if you have the scars of love on your arms, you will be very, very grateful.
在人生之路上，有时我们会愚蠢地步入危险的境地，全然不知前 方是什么情况。生活的水潭危机四伏，而我们总忘了潜在敌人的伺机 而动。当较量开始的时候，如果你的手臂上有爱的伤疤你应该心怀感激， 因为在你的生命中有人不曾也永远不会放弃你。

He did not hesitate. He squared挺直身子 his shoulders and said, "I'm John, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"
The woman smiled. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should tell you
that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"

世间的爱情有多种，有些人的爱情始于外表相悦，而有些人的爱 情则始于心灵相悦。建立在外表基础上的爱情难免经不住风吹雨打， 像自然之花一样终会凋谢；而建立在心灵基础上的爱情则可以经得住 任何考验，永远吐露芬芳，越是在障碍重重的时候，其芳香越是沁人 心脾。真正的爱情在于后者。 第1 周：星期四 今日主题词：爱情、苹果、奇迹 4．Lovely C 巧合 oincidence 真爱的巧合

One day, he told her not to come by anymore. He told her he was being shipped to another concentration camp. As he walked away with tears streaming流，淌 down his face, he wondered想知道 if he'd ever see her again. She was the only kind soul he'd seen across the fence.

"You won't forget to bring the potato m捣碎器asher, will you?" I said to my mother on the phone after telling her I had to have a mastectomy乳房切除手术 . Even though she was 82, and lived 3000 miles away on the long distance line, she knew what I meant: soupy汤的 m压碎，捣成泥ashed potatoes.

The one she received as a shower 送礼聚会 gift, with the worn wooden handle and the years of memories.
She was mashing potatoes in my kitchen the day I told her tearfully that I would have to experience chemotherapy化疗 . She put

Mom had decided that I would not die before her. She simply would not bear it. She took me on daily walks even when I couldn't get any farther than our driveway.

Oliver was not a brilliant杰出的 man. He swept floors for a living. He believed that Tarzan泰山 was a real man, and that all those movies were really documentaries纪录片 of Tarzan's life. He taught me about the essence of a "real man": love and respect for women, honor, kindness and gentleness.
Oliver lived a life in unexpected, simple ways. He showed up for work, on time. He never bragged 吹嘘 about himself, and he loved only one woman—his wife, Molly Oliver. He was principled and straightforward in my world of dishonor and lies. He loved me as his very own grandchild, even though he was one year younger than my father.
I will never forget my graduation from high school. That was a day of hopeless inevitability必然性 for me. My father, who was a heavy drinker, began his celebration very early in the day.
