一个家庭的毁灭,就如一只瓷碗,只是不经意地一摔,便碎了。
许多家庭的毁灭,往往就是缘于这种貌似潇洒貌似现代的轻率和冲动。家是一只瓷碗,拥有这只碗的人便有了生存的“凭据”。这碗里虽然只是粗茶淡饭,但也足以营养人之一生,因而这只瓷碗就值得人们好生爱惜。瓷碗易碎,毁之极易,成之艰难,即使我们有回天之术,可以将破碎的瓷碗重新粘合,但那一定是一件呕心沥血,异常艰难的苦差事,并且粘合之后,那曾经破碎的痕迹也许就是永远不能消弭的疤痕。
The home went to pieces, just like a porcelain bowl; an accidental slip would break it.
How many couples’ wedlock is thus brought to an abrupt end! It often results from such indiscretion and impulsiveness that are regarded by today’s young people as modern and stylish. Home is no more than a porcelain bowl, which gives it owners something to fall back on. Simple food though the bowl contains, it is adequate to nourish one throughout one’s life. This porcelain bowl, therefore, needs cherishing. It is so vulnerable that once broken it can hardly be pieced together by painstaking efforts, the glued cracks will still be there as an everlasting reminder of the unpleasant past.
