双语故事（1）

One day a visitor from the city came to a small rural area to drive around the country roads, see how the farms looked, and perhaps to see how farmers earned their living. The city man saw a farmer in his yard, holding a pig up in his hands, and lifting it so that the pig could eat apples from an apple tree. The city man said to the farmer," I see that your pig likes apples, but isn"t that quite a waste of time?" The farmer replied," What"s time to a pig?"

一天，有一个城市里的游客来到一个小乡村，在乡间路上开着车，想看看农庄是什么样子，也想看看农夫怎样种田过日子。这位城里人看见一位农夫在宅后的草地上，手中抱着一头猪，并把它举得高高的，好让它能够吃到树上的苹果。城里人对农夫说，"我看你的猪挺喜欢吃苹果的，但是，这不是很浪费时间吗?"那位农夫回答说，"时间对猪有什么意义?"

“一个人就是一段故事。”

——丹麦作家爱莎克•迪内森

在这个专栏打头的几篇文章中，我们已经分享了一些现代领导者如何将讲故事作为一种最强大领导力工具的经验。这并不出奇，古往今来的领导者都曾使用个人故事、寓言和轶事来帮助听众有效地吸取和整合信息、知识、价值与策略。

除了要懂得故事的力量，我们还需要知道怎样做才能成为一个会讲故事的人。我曾听人说过：“当然，我明白讲故事的意义，但我是否要付出一定努力，才能使自己变成一个会讲故事的人?这种能力貌似不是自然生成的。”我总会回答说：“是的，我理解。曾几何时，直立行走、读书写字、使用电脑也曾经是非常不自然的事。不过，一旦明白了‘为什么’学习这些技能是值得的，你就会很乐意这样做。对吗?”

因此，在本文中，我想告诉读者，花点时间努力成为一个会讲故事的人，具有令人信服的理由。但愿更多的经理人和领导者能够学会讲故事，而不是干巴巴地摆数据、定方向、说一些陈辞滥调。接下来，我就给你说说为什么你应该在20XX年、乃至余下的整个人生中，成为一个会讲故事的人。

人们会记住故事并分享故事。储存在人类大脑中的记忆往往是各种故事，故事有开始、过程和结局。哪怕听者忘掉你的数据已经很久了，他们仍会记得你的故事，以及其中所隐含的智慧。如果你的故事是真实而吸引人的，他们会非常乐于与他人分享。很多源自个人经历的领导力故事，甚至有可能获得自身的生命力，然后像病毒一样在你的企业或社交网络上广泛传播。

故事会引起所有的感觉、记忆和情感。做个小试验，现在严格遵照我的指示：我现在禁止你想象一头紫色的大象。重复一遍：现在不要想象一只紫色的大象。然后，不要想象这头紫色的大象穿着溜冰鞋，以100公里的时速从山路上滑下，它的脖子上系着一条在微风中飘动的鲜红围巾。不要想象它在滑行过程中脸上挂着喜悦而自由的微笑。

结果如何?事实上，一旦你读了上述句子，我立刻引起了你的想象，你已经在想象中成功建立了这样一头紫色大象的形象。同时，你又利用自己的记忆，产生了高速、兴奋、鲜红和紫色等联想。引人入胜，令人无法抗拒的故事会一下子抓住你的心。我讲了一个故事，但你在自己的想象中将它建立了起来，并牢记在心。当你饶有兴致地构想这些形象时，你甚至有可能露出会心的微笑。

故事能让听者得出自己的结论。假设你有一个基于个人真实经历的故事，在这个故事中，你或另外某个人经历了一项非常艰巨的挑战，经历了很多挫败和阻碍，由于选择不当而犯了很多难堪的错误，但最终克服了所有困难，获得了杰出的成绩。对于听众来说，聆听这个故事也是一个间接的学习过程。他们会对这个故事给予很大的关注，首先会判明情况，感受到这些失败决策所带来的痛苦，以及结果的不确定性所带来的压力，关注这个人如何克服了失误，感受到他们最终成功的喜悦。由于你采取了故事的模式，听者会自动吸收关键的经验，并且轻松地记住它们。

故事能建立信任。上述例子的最好一面在于，你可以避免纯粹的说教或耳提面命。因为人们不喜欢你命令他们做什么。但是他们却喜欢你用故事来告诉他们怎样做是有效的，并且乐于把学到的经验用于未来的情境中。实际中，通过讲述你个人的失败故事，你还会得到人们更多的信任。当你把犯错和失败的例子讲给他人时，你也就展示了自己人性化的一面，他们会自然而然地更喜欢和信任你。因此，故事可以让你从一个“任务”型领导者变成一个专注于构建基于信任的人际关系的领导者。

故事能帮人们想象并拥抱一个更光明的未来。作为领导者，你的成功取决于能否激发全体员工参与的愿望，以及他们的创意和激情。美国前总统肯尼迪有一个传奇故事：在美国首次登月任务期间，肯尼迪曾经去美国航空航天局访问。中途去洗手间时，他看见一位男士正在那里拖地板。肯尼迪向他报以微笑，感谢他把房间打扫得这样干净。那个男人马上回答：“不，先生，我不是在拖地板，而是在帮助我们登月。”深受感动的肯尼迪将这个故事分享给了其它人，这个故事迅速火了起来。在这个故事中，NASA就是这样一个各个层级的人充分投身宏伟愿景的组织，不管他们每个人的日常工作是什么。不妨想象一下，如果你的公司的员工也有类似的激情会怎样?你的员工是否因一个激动人心的愿景而兴奋?还是他们只是简单地在拖地板?

“To be a person is to have a story to ”

——IsakDuneson

In previous articles on this blog we have shared our experience regarding the use of storytelling as one of the most powerful leadership tools available to modern It’s really no surprise, since leaders throughout the ages have used personal stories, parable and anecdotes effectively to ensure that listeners could easily absorb and integrate information, knowledge, values and

Beyond merely understanding the power of stories, however, there remains the need for specific action and commitment to become a I hear people say: “Sure, I can see your point about telling stories…but do I really need to make the effort to become a storyteller myself? It doesn’t seem to come naturally to ” My answer is always something like: “Yes, I And there was also a time when walking, reading and writing, typing and using a computer program seemed But when you clearly understood ‘why’ learning these skills was worth the time, you simply got busy and did Right?”

So in this article I want to remind readers of the compelling reasons why it is worth your time to become an effective storyteller, in the hopes that more managers and leaders will just get busy learning to tell stories instead of just spewing out information, directives and Here are some of the many reasons why it is so worth it for you to decide, today, to become a great storyteller in 20XX and for the rest of your life:

People Remember and Share human brain is actually structured to retain memories in story format, with a beginning, middle and Long after listeners have forgotten your data, they will remember your story, and the wisdom embedded within And, if your story is authentic and compelling they will eagerly share it with Many leadership stories from your personal experience even have the potential to go viral, taking on a life of their own, spreading far and wide in your organization or social

Stories Engage all the Senses, Memories and the this now, following my instructions exactly: I now forbid you to imagine a purple I repeat: Do NOT think of a purple elephant right Further, I forbid you to imagine a purple elephant on roller skates, whizzing down a mountain road at 100 km per hour, with a bright red scarf around its’ neck, streaming behind it in the And do NOT imagine the blissful smile on the purple elephant’s face as it goes whizzing down the mountain, freedom of the

Ok, how did you do? The fact is, once you read my words, I instantly engaged your imagination and you have installed a purple elephant in your At the same time, you have accessed your own memories of moving at high speed, feeling joyful, bright red and purple Stories are immediate, engaging and I told the story, but you created it in your own imagination, and you now own Perhaps you even smiled as you had fun doing

Stories Allow Listeners to Draw their own ’s suppose you have a personal story about an authentic experience in which you, or someone else, faced an overwhelming challenge, experienced multiple frustrating obstacles, made some embarrassing mistakes due to bad choices, but in the end, overcame the difficulties and demonstrated outstanding As your listeners experience your story, they are also learning vicariously: they are paying close attention by first identifying with the situation, feeling the pain of those unworkable choices, the tension and uncertainty about the outcome, noticing how the person overcame their mistakes and feeling the joy of their ultimate They automatically integrate the key learnings and retain them easily due to the story

Stories Build of all, in the above example, you avoided the fatal error of just preaching or “telling” people what to Because people don’t like being told what to do! But, they do love a story that allows them to decide for themselves what was effective and willingly apply their learning to future In fact, you will gain more trust from people by telling failure stories from your own experience than by merely boasting and bragging about all your When you reveal your mistakes and vulnerabilities with others, you show your human side and they automatically like you better and trust you This is where stories can move you from being a leader focused on ‘transactions’ (tasks) to a leader focused on human relationships grounded in

Stories Can Help People Imagine and Embrace an Inspiring a leader, your success depends on how well you can inspire the willing participation, creativity and passion of others at all levels in your There is a story about US president John Kennedy that illustrates the power of a vision that is embraced by all the According to this story, which has since become legendary, Kennedy was visiting NASA during the time leading up to the first US moon During a break he went to use the restroom and encountered a man mopping the Smiling at the man, Kennedy thanked him for keeping the room The man quickly replied, “No sir, I don’t mop I’m helping us go to the ” Deeply touched, Kennedy shared the story with others and it went Here was an organization whose members at every level had fully integrated the Vision into their thinking, regardless of what daily tasks they Imagine, if you can, the power of a group of people similarly inspired in your Are your people excited and inspired by a compelling vision…or are they simply mopping floors?

故事还能：

• 利用吸引人的隐喻，迅速传递原本复杂的理念。

• 使信息更为可信。

• 激发所有利益相关者群体参与其中，并增加其信任感。

• 传递价值、理念和热情，并使听者能内化于心

• 随着听者欣然接受故事所要传达的信息，它还能减少阻力

案例研究：最后，让我们再说一个真实的故事，有一家公司主要做宠物护理，帮助客户有效地照顾他们的宠物。该公司的一个重要价值是“不惜一切帮助顾客”。

一天下午，该公司一家门店迎来了一群小学生，他们年龄只有5到9岁。孩子们抱着一只纸箱，里面有好几只刚出生的小猫。这些小猫是他们从林子里捡来的，可能是被它们的母亲遗弃了。孩子们没有钱，也没有经验，只是非常想照顾好这些小猫。其中一个孩子恳求道：“你能帮我们救救这些小猫吗?如果我们不救它们，它们就会死的。”

这家门店的经理没有任何犹豫，立即给了他们两个大的猫笼子，足够吃一个月的猫粮，以及水盆、碎布等一应物品。然后她耐心地向孩子们讲解怎样照顾小猫，确保他们充分理解自己的新责任。她还鼓励孩子们一有问题就来找她。孩子们带着小猫回家了，他们的脸上挂着快乐和自信的笑容。

第二天，一些孩子的父母来到店里，衷心感谢了这名经理，并且高兴地付清了她赠送的那些物品所需要的款项。此外，他们还购买了很多养猫所需的其它物品。更重要的是，他们赞扬了经理的做法，并且把这个故事告诉了所有朋友和邻居。这家店“真正关心顾客、在行动中展示价值”的理念由此深入人心，迅速获得了竞争优势。

这个故事也迅速在该公司内部流传开来，并在社交网络上走红。甚至连该公司的CEO也乐于与人分享这个故事，作为在组织内各个级别传递公司价值，尤其是“采取行动”这一讯息的一种手段。

一旦你决心成为一名会讲故事的领导者，以下几个步骤可以帮助你：

• 基于个人经历，想想过去的经历中，哪些事可以成为一个好故事的基础，养成撰写“个人故事笔记”的好习惯。

• 当你分享故事时，你总会获得另一个故事作为回报……人们习惯于用一个故事匹配另一个故事。最重要的是，注意他人的故事中反映的价值、问题和热情，并且把它们整合到你自己的故事里。当你的故事反映了听者自身的价值时，注意观察他们的反应。

• 对故事进行研究，读一些关于讲故事的书，注意收集和提炼你的故事，最重要的是：

• 开始讲故事!故事可以改变你与人的关系，使你成为一名杰出的领导者。所以开始讲故事吧。

正如技艺精湛的脱口秀女王奥普拉•温弗瑞在每个故事的结尾处所言：“这就是我的故事，我坚持这一点!”(财富中文网)

Stories can also:

• Rapidly communicate complex concepts using compelling metaphors

• Make information more believable

• Stimulate engagement and trust across all key stakeholder groups

• Convey values, ideas, and passion that listeners will internalize

• Eliminate resistance as listeners willingly take ownership of a story’s message

Case Study:Let me close with a true story that went viral in a company that was focused on pet care and helping customers effectively care for their One of importantly the values in the company was “Do whatever it takes to help the ”

One afternoon, a group of school children, aged 5-9 years, came into one of the company’s many stores, carrying a cardboard box full of newly born kittens they had found in the woods, abandoned by the They had no money, and no experience, only a strong commitment to take care of the kittens, no matter In a pleading voice, one of the children asked, “Can you help us save these kittens? They’ll die if we don’t help ”

The store manager, without hesitation, immediately gave them two large kitten cages, a month’s supply of food, water dishes and some comfortable rags for the kittens to sleep She then coached them on how to care for young kittens and made sure they understood their new She also encouraged to ‘come back anytime if you need more ’ With happy faces, and new confidence, the kids proudly took their kittens

The next day, some of the parents came to the store, profusely thanked the manager, and happily paid for all the items that she had given to the children the day In addition, they bought a lot of other products that growing kittens would Most importantly, they praised the manager for taking initiative and they told the story to all their friends and As a result, the store immediately gained a competitive advantage as “a business that truly cares for customers and demonstrates its values in ”

This story also went viral within the pet care company’s own organization and was proliferated on social Even the company’s CEO loves to share this story as a way of communicating their values and especially the message “take initiative” across all levels of the

Here’s a few action steps for you, once you decide to lead with stories:

• Think back to situations in your own personal experience that could be the basis for a good story and keep a Personal Story Notebook

• When you share a story, notice that almost always, you will get a story in return…it’s human nature to match a story with a Most important, notice the values, issues, passions reflected in other’s stories and integrate those into your Watch how people resonate as their own values are reflected back to them via your

• Make a study of stories, read books about storytelling, keep collecting and fine tuning your stories, and, most important:

• Start telling stories! Stories can transform your relationships with people and make you a stand-out So go for

As Oprah Winfrey, a masterful entertainer and storyteller says at the end of every story, “That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!”

Passing through the Atlanta airport one morning, I caught one of those trains that take travelers from the main terminal to their boarding Free, sterile and impersonal, the trains run back and forth all day Not many people consider them fun, but on this Saturday I heard

一天早晨去亚特兰大机场，我看见一辆列车载着旅客从航空集散站抵达登记处。这类免费列车每天单调、无味地往返其间，没人觉得有趣。但这个周六我却听到了笑声。

At the front of the first car – looking out the window at the track that lay ahead – were a man and his

我们停下来等候旅客下车，之后，车门关上了。“走吧。拉紧我!”父亲说。儿子大约5岁吧，一路喜不自禁。

I know we’re supposed to avoid making racial distinctions these days, so I hope no one will mind if I mention that most people on the train were white, dressed for business trips or vacations – and that the father and son were black, dressed in clothes that were just about as inexpensive as you can

车上坐的多半是衣冠楚楚，或公差或度假的白人，只有这对黑人父子穿着朴素简单。我知道如今我们不该种族歧视，我希望我这样描述没人介意。

“Look out there!” the father said to his “See that pilot? I bet he’s walking to his ” The son craned his neck to

正准备上车的时候，我看到那对父子也来了。我意识到他们不是来乘飞机的，而是特意来坐区间列车的。

“我还想再坐一会儿!”

“More?” the father said, mock-exasperated but clearly “You’re not tired?”

“再坐一会儿!”父亲嗔怪模仿着儿子的语调，“你还不累?”

“This is fun!” his son

“真好玩!”儿子说。

“All right,” the father replied, and when a door opened we all got

“好吧，”父亲说。车门开了，我们都上了车。

The answer is so simple: parents who care enough to spend time, and to pay attention and to try their It doesn’t cost a cent, yet it is the most valuable thing in the

其实答案很简单：父母愿意花时间，愿意关注，愿意尽心尽职。这不要花一分钱，可这却是世间无价之宝。

The train picked up speed, and the father pointed something out, and the boy laughed

火车加速了。父亲指着窗外说着什么，儿子直乐.

如果发现他并非有意伤害你，那么，你就应该站出来，坦白承认教训他的事;要像一个男子汉一样承认错误并说明自己 并非有意。还有就是，切勿使用暴力。

早睡早起-这是十分明智的。有些人主动起床，也有些人被迫起床。当然在百灵鸟的歌声中起床是最惬意不过了。

It gives you a splendid reputation with everybody to know that you get up with the lark; and if you get the right kind of lark, and work at him right, you can easily train him to get up at half past nine, every time-it’s no trick at

当人人都知道你与百灵鸟同迎清晨，你便会备受称赞，如果你得 到一只中意的百灵鸟，并按自己的意愿训练它，让他九点半， 甚至是任何时候起床都不是件难事-当然，这并不是说要耍诡计。

Now as to the matter of lying, you want to be very careful about lying; otherwise you are nearly sure to get Once caught, you can never again be in the eyes to the good and the pure, what you were

现在，我们来谈谈说谎吧。要说谎，就得小心谨慎，否则 很容易穿帮。一旦被揭穿，别人就不再认为你是善良的和纯洁的，他们眼中的你就不是从前的你了。

Many a young person has injured himself permanently through a single clumsy and ill finished lie, the result of carelessness born of incomplete Some authorities hold that the young ought not to lie at

很多年轻人就因为一个笨拙或并不圆满的谎言永远地伤害了自己，原因在于他们不够谨慎且缺乏训练。有些人认为，年轻人不能撒谎。

That of course, is putting it rather stronger than necessary; still while I cannot go quite so far as that, I do maintain, andI believe I am right, that the young ought to be temperate in the use of this great art until practice and experience shall give them that confidence, elegance, and precision which alone can make the accomplishment graceful and

当然，这有些偏激。我不会这么偏激，而是始终相信自己是有道理的，我 认为，年轻人应适当运用这门伟大的艺术，通过训练和实践， 他们将变得自信、优雅和精确，而这些恰恰可以使他们完美出色地完成任务。

Patience, diligence, painstaking attention to detail-these are requirements; these in time, will make the student perfect; upon these only, may he rely as the sure foundation for future

耐心、勤奋和对细节的认真揣摩-都是年轻人必须具备的条件。随着时间的流逝，这些要素将会使你们日臻完美，而你们也只有仰仗这些要素才能成就日后的辉煌。

Think what tedious years of study, thought, practice, experience, went to the equipment of that peerless old master who was able to impose upon the whole world the lofty and sounding maxim that "Truth is mighty and will prevail the most majestic compound fracture of fact which any of man born has yet

想想那位无可匹敌的大师吧,多年沉闷乏味的学习、思考、实践 和练习才使他得以在世人面前说出这样的经典语句一一 “真理 有着巨大的力量，并将战胜一切”-这是最伟大的悖论，是凡人所能达到的最高境界。

For the history of our race, and each individual’s experience, are sewn thick with evidences that a truth is not hard to kill, and that a lie well told is There is in Boston a monument of the man who discovered anesthesia; many people are aware, in these latter days, that that man didn’t discover it at all, but stole the discovery from another Is this truth mighty, and will it prevail? Ah no, my hearers, the monument is made of hardy material, but the lie it tells will outlast it a million

历史和个人的经历都深刻地表明真理易被推翻，但绝妙的谎言却永远颠扑不破。波士顿立有一座纪念麻醉术发明者的纪念碑。但后来，很多人发现，这个人 根本不是麻醉术的发明者，他不过是窃取了他人的成果。真理的力量真的很强大吗?它能战胜一切吗?哦，不，朋友们，那座纪念碑是用很坚固的材料做成，但它所昭示的谎言将比纪念碑本身还要久一百万年。

An awkward, feeble, leaky lie is a thing which you ought to make it your unceasing study to avoid; such a lie as that has no more real permanence than an average Why, you might as well tell the truth at once and be done with A feeble, stupid, preposterous lie will not live two years-except it be a slander upon

笨拙、没有说服力和漏洞百出的谎言是你应当通过不断学习去避免的，这样的谎言还不及一般真理长久。为什么呢，你还是说出真相吧，现在就说。一个没有说服力、可笑、荒谬的谎言不会存在两年-除非它是对某人的诽谤。

It is indestructible, then of course, but that is no merit of A final word: begin your practice of this gracious and beautiful art early-begin If I had begun earlier, I could have learned

当然，这样的谎言牢不可破，但这对你的名誉没有什么 f好处。一句话：尽早练习这门高尚而美丽的艺术吧-现在就开始。要是我当年入门早，现在就已经学会了。

There are many sorts of books; but good ones are the sort for the young to Remember They are a great, an inestimable, and unspeakable means of Therefore be careful in your selection, my young friends; be very careful; confine yourselves exclusively to Robertson’s Sermons, Baxter’s Saint’s Rest, The Innocents Abroad, and works of that

书有各种各样的，但好书才适合年轻人阅读。请记住，好 书能让你不断完善自身，这种作用力强大，不可估量且难以名 状。因此，年轻的朋友们，请谨慎选择你们的读物，要十分谨慎。你们应该专门读罗伯逊的《道德启示录》、巴克斯特的《圣徒的安息》和《傻瓜出国记》等作品。

But I have said I hope you will treasure up the instructions which I have given you, and make them a guide to your feet and a light to your Build your character thoughtfully and painstakingly upon these precepts, and by and by, when you have got it built, you will be surprised and gratified to see how nicely and sharply it resembles everybody else’

我说得已经够多了。我希望你们能珍惜这些建议，让它们成为你的向导，点燃你们思想的火花。按照这些建议去努力培养自己的性格吧。慢慢地，一旦你塑造好了自己的性格，你将惊喜而欣慰地发现自己和他人是如此相似。

双语故事（11）

1、

1992年，美国海军的声呐系统在太平洋北部水域侦测到了一头叫声奇特的鲸。

有人把鲸鱼发出的声音诗意地称为“鲸歌”，这是鲸群之间相互联络与交流的方式。普通鲸鱼的发声频率一般在15赫兹到40赫兹之间，但是这头鲸的发声频率却是52赫兹，人们因此把它命名为52赫兹鲸(52-hertz whale)。

二十多年来，52赫兹鲸从不与其他鲸鱼为伍，就这样孤身在无尽的海洋里游来游去。因为它是世界上唯一用这个频率唱歌的鲸，其他的鲸听不懂、甚至根本听不见它发出的声音。

它是这个世界上最孤独的鲸。

2、

英语里有一个词endling, 中文里似乎还没有确切对应的词，它的意思是一个物种中最后存活的个体。当endling死了，这个物种也就灭绝了。

袋狼曾经广泛生活在澳大利亚的草原上，这是一种长得像狼、有像袋鼠一样的育儿袋、背上有像老虎一样的花纹的食肉动物。自18世纪以来，由于被牧民大量捕杀，袋狼的数量急剧减少，等到政府开始想要采取保护措施的时候，情况已经无法挽救。

1933年，在澳大利亚霍巴特，有人捉到了一只袋狼，送到了当地的动物园。人们给这只袋狼起名叫本杰明。三年以后，由于饲养员的疏忽，本杰明在高温暴晒下死去。从此，这个世界上再也没有任何袋狼存在的踪迹。

本杰明，就是一个

3、

在巴西亚马逊的热带雨林中，生活着一个被外界称为“洞人”(Man of the Hole)的印第安人。之所以叫这个名字，是因为他喜欢在地上挖巨大的洞来捕获动物。

科学家们大概在20年前发现他的存在，并且相信他是他的部落里最后一名幸存者。

为了确保他的安全，巴西政府一直在暗中监控他的踪迹，还在他经常活动的范围里划定了一块31平方英里的区域，严禁外人踏入，更不允许在其中狩猎或砍伐。

至少在最近的20年里，他没有任何同伴，没有任何朋友，没有任何敌人，没有任何可以说话的人。那31平方英里，是他所有的世界。

在那里，他是他自己的部落，他是他自己的首领。

4、

在孟加拉湾的安达曼群岛，有一个面积不过72平方公里的小岛，叫北森提奈岛(North Sentinel Island)。

岛上生活着不到100名土著居民，他们说的语言与世界上其他语言都十分不同，与安达曼群岛其他土著部落的语言也没有任何相通之处，意味着这个岛可能已经与世隔绝几千年。

人类的文明史不过短短的五六千年，波利尼西亚人航行数千里来到复活节岛定居不过是1500年前，埃及人建造金字塔也只是5000年前的事。而北森提奈岛上的原住民，已经在那里生活了六万年。

即使是在过去几个世纪，现代文明似乎势不可挡地横扫了地球上的每一个角落，但却在固执拒绝与外部世界进行任何接触的北森提奈人面前停下了脚步。

这个岛，是现代文明最后、也是最难抵达的孤岛。

1969年7月20日，人类首次登陆月球。

很多人不知道的是，当时阿波罗11号上一共有三名宇航员。在阿姆斯特朗和奥尔德林搭乘登月舱在月球上降落时，还有一名宇航员——他的名字叫迈克尔·科林斯，留在了指令舱中，独自一人绕月球轨道环行。其中有整整48分钟，指令舱处在远离地球的月球背面，与地球彻底失去通讯联络。

从技术上来说，那48分钟，是人类诞生以来任何人所经历过的最孤独的48分钟。

6、

知乎上有一个很热门的问题：你最孤独的时刻是什么?答案形形色色，但无一例外都引起了强烈的共鸣。

有人一个人去吃自助餐，取餐回来时发现餐盘已经被服务员收走了。

有人在异国陌生的城市举目无亲，填紧急联络人时不知道该写谁的名字。

一个人去买饮料，店里第二杯半价的促销，也让人感到孤独。

一个人旅行，看到美丽的风景，却只能分享在社交网络上。

或者是那些本来用亲密的昵称称呼你的人，突然开口叫了你的名字。

每个人都是一个小小的宇宙，但是和前面提到的那些孤独相比，如果一味夸大这些属于个体的细微情感，似乎多少显得有些矫情了。

人生无非两件事，一个是如何处理与世界的关系，一个是处理与自己的关系。

而在因为没有处理好这两件事而产生的所有后果里，孤独，大概是其中最无关紧要的一个。

但几秒钟后，海豚重新出现了，还津津有味吃着自己的那份鱼，这回是只石斑鱼。看到此景，露西一家心怀感激地收下了这条重达10磅(约公斤)的大鳕鱼，带回德文郡深谷马丁附近的家中做了一道大餐。

Grandmother Nina added: 'It was as if he was saying to Lucy "Don't worry, now I've got a fish to play with and so have This is mine for my tea, you have that one for "'
