Chapter 7 羊、玫瑰与正经事

🎈这一章最触动心弦的句子是：
He has never smelled a flower. He has never looked at a star. He has never loved any one. He has never done anything in his life but add up figures. And all day he says over and over, just like you: ‘I am busy with matters of consequence!’ And that makes him swell up with pride. But he is not a man—he is a mushroom!”

大人们的生活大多被“正经事”填满，充斥着数字，急于完成任务，失去了对美好事物的感知力，难得仰望星空、欣赏玫瑰。而这些才是“重要事务”，是生命的本质。

🎈语言学习：
• toss one's head 突然向上甩头(表恼怒不耐烦)
She just tossed her head and walked off.
她头一甩，走开了。
• sb swell up with pride 满心骄傲/自豪感油然而生
• be white with rage 勃然大怒
• be never of any use 从来一点用都没有
• be of use 有用

毛姆曾说：“一个人能观察落叶、鲜花、从细微处欣赏一切，生活就不能把他怎么样。”
《菜根谭》说：“岁月本长，而忙者自促；天地本宽，而鄙者自隘；风花雪月本闲，而劳攘者自冗。”
愿你我都能有仰望星空欣赏花朵的时间和情致！

🔺🔺你多久没有观察过天空了？
