又苦又甜的经历 A Bitter Sweet Experience
A Bitter Sweet Experience
The results of the college entrance examinatiun came. I tore open the envelope. As soon as I saw the score, tears streamed down my face. I fell into my bed and did not get up the whole day. All was over. What is the meaning to live on earth? For the first time I thought of death, of being a vagrant and of being single all my life. I was only seventeen. Wasn＇t it cruel to me? My father was hurt and he could not stand it, that his son was a disgrace. He was angry beyond words. My mother kept silent, and often I saw her in tears. Horror filled the house.
Encouraged by my parems I took the exam again. Again I failed. It seemed that my fate would go against my will. Hearing the news, my mother lost ten pounds in just a few days. I remember even now the sad looks in her eyes. My father locked all my books irrelevant to the exam. I was broken down. I was left with no choice but to fight my way out.
I can never forget the day when I left for my study area. On September 2nd, 1986 I bid farewell to my mother and stepped on my way. My father sent me by ear. I sank down in the back seat, weak and discouraged, like a prisoner going on exile.
In the following year, I exerted myself in study trying hard to keep myself in control. I worked and worked. At last, success showed me her late coming smiling face. I entered Anhui University. Friends and relatives poured in for congratulations. I received lots of gifts, among them there were pens.
Maybe those who have experienced bitter failure know deeply the sweet taste of success.
又苦又甜的经历
高考分数下来了，我拆开信封一看，顿时泪流满面，一头扑到床上，整整一天都没起床。一切都完了，人活在世上还有什么意思?
这时，我第1次想到死，想到了去当流浪汉，也想到了终生独身。可那年我才17岁，这一切想法对我不是太残酷了吗?我的父亲深感受了伤害，他不能容忍自己的儿子为他丢人现眼，怒不可遏。我母亲则默不出声，经常以泪洗面。家中一片恐怖。
在父母的鼓励下，我再次参加高考，可又再次失败。命运似乎在和我作对。母亲一听到这个消息，几天之内，一下瘦了10磅。至今我依然忘不了她那忧郁的眼神。我父亲将我所有与考试无关的书都锁了起来。我别无选择，只能背水一战。
我永远不能忘记前往学习区的那天。1986年9月2日，我告别母亲上路了。父亲用小汽车进我。我瘫在汽车后座了，全身无力。垂头丧气，仿佛像一个囚犯被押往流放地。
在随后的一年里，我发愤苦读，极力克制自己。成功终于向我露出了那姗姗来迟的笑脸。我考上了安徽大学。亲戚朋友都前来祝贺。我收到很多礼物，其中，仅笔就以数计。
也许，只有那些经历过失败痛苦的人才深知成功的甘甜。hxw.red
