1、Have we merely carried our animal need for shrewd perceptions to an absurd extreme? Or have we stumbled onto a deep congruence between the structure of our minds and the structure of the universe?

　　這一切究竟來(lái)源于何?僅僅是我們將本能的敏銳感知力推向了荒謬的極致，還是我們不經(jīng)意間摸索到了扎根于人類思想和蒼茫萬(wàn)物間那深刻的一致性?

　　I am persuaded the latter is true. I am convinced there's more to beauty than biology, more than cultural convention. It flows around and through us in such abundance, and in such myriad forms, as to exceed by a wide margin any mere evolutionary need. Which is not to say that beauty has nothing to do with survival: I think it has everything to do with survival. Beauty feeds us from the same source that created us.

　　我相信后者是正確的。我堅(jiān)信美不僅僅存在于生物學(xué)和文化習(xí)俗中。美我們身邊流淌，充盈、潤(rùn)澤著我們的心田;而其量之充沛，形態(tài)之多變已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超越了進(jìn)化本身的需要。我這樣說(shuō)并不意味著美和生存毫無(wú)干系;恰恰相反，我相信美和生存之間有著千絲萬(wàn)縷的聯(lián)系。如果說(shuō)是自然造就了我們，那么，是美通過自然滋養(yǎng)了我們。

　　2、The establishment and development of china’s socialist market economy requires the reform and improvement in our soial welfare and security system, which in turn places higher expectations on the work of community service.//With the transformation of governmental functions, much of the work involving social services that was initially undertaken by the government will have to be transferred gradually to social groups and non-governmental organizations.// On the one hand, the government will shoulder great responsibilities in its macro-management; and on the other hand, social groups and non-governmental organizations will need to involve themselves more in community service.// Consequently, there has emerged an issue which concerns the way of a close collaboration and the division of responsibilities between the government and social groups, in order to further the development of community service.

　　我們社會(huì)主義市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)體制的建立和發(fā)展，要求我們改革和完善社會(huì)福利保障體制，從而對(duì)社會(huì)服務(wù)提出了更高的要求。//隨著政府職能的轉(zhuǎn)變，原來(lái)由政府包攬的許多社會(huì)服務(wù)工作，有相當(dāng)一部分將逐步轉(zhuǎn)移到社會(huì)團(tuán)體和民間組織。//一方面，政府的宏觀管理責(zé)任將會(huì)變得更加重大。另一方面，社會(huì)團(tuán)體和民間組織有必要參與更多的社區(qū)服務(wù)工作。//這樣就提出一個(gè)課題：政府和社會(huì)團(tuán)體如何密切合作，如何分工協(xié)作，更好地推進(jìn)社區(qū)服務(wù)事業(yè)。//

　　3、It reminds us of the shaping power that reaches through the flower stem and through our own hands. It restores our faith in the generosity of nature. By giving us a taste of the kinship between our own small minds and the great Mind of the Cosmos, beauty reassures us that we are exactly and wonderfully made for life on this glorious planet, in this magnificent universe. I find in that affinity a profound source of meaning and hope. A universe so prodigal of beauty may actually need us to notice and respond, may need our sharp eyes and brimming hearts and teeming minds, in order to close the circuit of Creation.

　　無(wú)論是一朵花或是一雙手，都讓我們聯(lián)想到美的創(chuàng)造力量。美讓我們重拾信念---相信自然對(duì)于我們的無(wú)私恩惠與慷慨。美在人類渺小的心靈和宇宙?zhèn)ゴ蟮木�魂之間，化身為一座溝通的橋梁，并以此讓我們不再懷疑：在這片恢宏的宇宙中，在這顆璀璨的星球上，人類的存在實(shí)為天工之作，神明之意。宇宙和人類對(duì)于美的共識(shí)，給予我生存的意義與希望。我們的宇宙中，美無(wú)處不在;她等待著我們敏銳的眼睛、充實(shí)的心靈，和泉涌般的智慧，去發(fā)現(xiàn)美，去回應(yīng)美，由此成全造物的圓滿。
