不劳无获 　　（这篇文章,可能要换种译法,未尝苦果,则无收获） 　　我10岁时,遇到了一件可怕的事情,因为那一刻我就在生死之间. 　　我出生在沿海城市,这个城市的人们非常喜欢在海里游泳,而我通常晚饭后就到海滩上去,这已经成了我的习惯.事情当天,天气恶劣,海上刮着大风.而我对自己的游泳技术过于自信,当时我太兴奋了,走得离海岸越来越远.也许那段距离对于大人不算什么,但是对于我而言,我敢说,水可以没过我整个人,天气更糟了,这时我才意识到危险,但是太迟了,一个大浪突然向我袭来,我呛了一口水,海水把我吞噬了,我尽力想保持清醒,竭尽全力自救,但又有一个个大浪打来,然后我完全沉入了水中.我觉得自己的意识越来越模糊,甚至对疼痛都失去了感觉,我什么也不知道了,除了意识到后来我被送回到海滩上,爸爸救了我,那时我嚎啕大哭,我也不知道为什么我会哭,也许因为害怕,也许因为高兴,也许因为我被感动了. 　　后来我知道了,爸爸总是跟着我来到海边,只是它从来不让我知道.爸爸给了我生命,在我面临死亡时,他又救了我,在此我不想刻意感谢爸爸,因为在父母面前,每天都是感恩节. 　　中国有句俗语,“溺死的都是会游泳的”.所以从那次事故以后,如果我去游泳,我就会非常小心,也许是因为吃一堑长一智. 　　WhenIwas10yearsold,IencounteredaterriblethingthatIwillneverforget,becauseatthatmomentIwasbetweenlifeanddeath. 　　Iwasborninacoastalcity,wherethepeopleareveryfondofswimmingintheseaandIalwayswenttothebeachafterdinner,thisbecamemyhabit.Mystorytookplaceinabadweatherday,thenseawindwassoheavy.Iwastooconfidentaboutmyswimmingskill,Iwenttothebeachforswimmingalone.SoexcitedIwas,Iwasfartherandfartherawayfromtheshore.Maybeitwasnothingforanadult,butIdaresaythewaterwasdeeperthanmyheight.Theweatherwasgettingworse,thenIwasawareofthedangeranddecidedtoreturntoshore,butitwastoolate,abigwavecametowardsmesuddenly,waterchockedmeandswallowedme,Itriedtokeepawakeandsparednoeffortforsavingmyself,butanotherbigwavefollowcame,Iwassubmerged,Iwasloosingmyconsciousness.Ievencouldnotfeelthepain.Butabighandcaughtmeandpulledmetomove,IknewnothingexceptthatIwasreturnedtothebeachlater.MyfathersavedmeandIcriedatthatmoment,Ididn'tknowwhyIwascrying.Maybeitsforfearorcheer,maybeIwasreallymoved. 　　LaterIknewthatmyfatheralwaysfollowedmewithoutmyawareness.Myfathergavememylifeandmyfathersavedmeinthefaceofdeath.IdonotwanttosaythankstomyfatherherebecauseeverydayshouldbeaThanksgivingDaywhenIisaroundmyparents. 　　AsasayinggoesinChina,"theonewhodrownsistheonewhoisgoodatswimming".Thusafterthatincident,IhavealwaysbeenverycarefulwhenIgotoswim,maybethisisbyfallingwelearntogosafely.
