聆聽美文
Many times, the small things in life, which we often ignore, are more important than the ones that we consider far more valuable.
很多時候，我們在生活中忽略的一些小事，比我們自以為有意義得多的大事更為重要。
This theme is highlighted in Kenny Roger's song Buy Me a Rose.
這一觀點在肯尼-羅傑斯的歌《為我買一朵玫瑰花》中就得到了充分的體現。
In his song, he insists on the fact that the expression of love plays a significant role in a relationship.
歌中他現實地指出，說情話在男女關係中的地位舉足輕重，
However, many people seem to ignore this fact and assume that love can be expressed through wealth and riches.
然而許多人似乎忽略了這個事實，而以為金錢和財富就可以表達愛。
In his song, Kenny Rogers narrates the story of a wife whose husband loves her very much.
歌中，肯尼-羅傑斯描述了這樣一個故事：有一位妻子，她有一位非常愛她的丈夫，
However, she thinks that the way her husband shows her his love is not appropriate.
然而她卻認為丈夫向她示愛的方式不理想。
According to her husband, the best way of showing his love to his wife is by providing her with all the wealth and comforts of life.
在她丈夫看來，向妻子示愛的最佳方式就是把所有的錢都掏給她，讓她過著安逸的生活。
Consequently, he works hard day and night and is thus not able to devote any of his time to her.
於是他沒日沒夜地工作，結果不能勻出時間來陪妻子。
His wife, however, argues that this is not what she wants.
然而他的妻子卻抱怨這不是她想要的，
All she wants for him is to show her more affection by giving her more of his time, caring for her and by expressing his feelings for her.
她只想他多花點時間陪陪她，關心她，向她傾訴情話。
These are the things that she yearns for in her life and not the big, flashy things that he has given her.
用這樣的方式來表達他更多的愛，她在生活中渴望的就是這些，而不是丈夫給她的那些金光閃閃的玩意。
"Buy me a rose, call me from work.”
為我買一朵玫瑰花，工作時給我打個電話，
Open a door for me, what would it hurt?
為我開開門，這樣做你會難受嗎？
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes.
用你含情脈脈的眼神告訴我你的愛，
These are the little things I need the most in my life.”
我的生活多麼需要這些小小的表達。
To her, these are all the things that can bring her maximum joy and happiness.
對她來說，這些才最能使她感到快樂和幸福。
Although her husband loves her very much, his way of showing his love for her is creating distances between the two.
雖然她的丈夫非常愛她，但丈夫表達愛的方式卻拉開了兩人的距離，
And as time passes by, the distance keeps increasing.
而且隨著時間的推移不斷的擴大這個距離。
This song expresses how we lead our lives in today's world and how we think that it takes a lot to make a person happy.
這首歌表達了我們當今的生活方式以及我們以為讓一個人快樂要付出許多代價的想法。
It is always the simple pleasures of life which make a difference.
生活的改善往往是來自一些樸實無華的歡愉，
It is never the big and flashy things.
而不是非要藉助宏大奢華之物。
The main idea of Buy Me A Rose” is that people who are closer to us deserve more sincere expression of our love, which may be found in smaller things in life.
為我買一朵玫瑰花”的主要觀點是，我們的愛人值得我們用更真誠的方式來傳情達意，而這些方式往往正好是生活中的許多小事情。
Spending time with them rather than spending money on them is a better way of expressing our love.
多花時間陪他們比給他們錢更能表達出我們的愛。
We should learn to express our feelings than to show our love through material goods.
我們應學著表達自己的感情，而不是通過物質來表達愛。
Express your love.
表達你的愛吧。
