The House of 1000 Mirrors - 一千面镜子的小屋

 

 

The House of 1000 Mirrors

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors.

A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

 

一千面镜子的小屋

 

很久以前，在一个遥远的小村庄里，有一个小有名气的镶嵌有一千面镜子的小屋。

 

一只快乐的小狗得知此事，便决定前去拜访。他到达此地后，就欢快地跃上通往屋子门口的台阶。通过门口时，他竖起耳朵，快速地摇晃起自己的尾巴，令他惊讶的是，他发现自己正在注视着屋内的一千只小狗，他们同样地也在快速摇晃着自己的尾巴呢！他一笑，同时也迎来了一千个温馨和友善的微笑。离开这所屋子时，他自然自语地说道，“这真是一个神奇的地方，我会经常到这里来光顾的。"

 

同村里另一只心情郁闷的小狗，也决定去拜访一下千面镜子的小屋。他缓慢地爬上台阶，低着头，无精打采地朝屋里望去，他看到了一千个冷漠的眼神从背后望着他，他向"他们"狂吠着,害怕自己看见一千个小狗在背后朝他咆哮。离开时，他暗想，“那里真是个可拍的地方，这辈子不会再在来了。”

 

世上所有的人都是一面镜子，当你遇见每一个人时，你会流露出一种怎样的表情呢？
