2. The House of 1000 Mirrors   千镜之屋 

          Long ago in a small faraway village, there was a place known as the house of 1000 mirrors.

            A small, little happy dog learnd of this place and decidedto visit it. When he arrived, he bounced happily up to staris to the doorway of the house. He looked trough the doorway with his ears lifted high, and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his surpirise, he found himself staring at 1000 other little happy 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 would come back and visit it often.  In the 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 was horrible place and I would never go back there again.            

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

千镜之屋,带给你的是什么?你的快乐或者悲伤都将会被放大一千倍。想好了吗?

很久以前的一个很远的村庄里,有一个以“千镜屋”而著名的地方。

一只乐观的小狗听说了这个地方并决定去参观。当来到这个地方,他蹦蹦跳跳地上了台阶,来到房门口,高高地竖起耳朵,欢快地摇摆着尾巴,从门口往里张望。他惊奇地看到有1000只欢乐的小狗像他一样快地摇着尾巴。他灿烂地微笑着,回报他的是1000张热情、友好的灿烂笑脸。离开时他心想:“这是一个奇妙的地方,我一定要常来看看。” 在同一个村里还有另一只小狗,他也想来参观“千镜屋”,他不如第一只小狗快乐。他慢吞吞地爬上台阶,然后耸拉着脑袋往屋子里看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他,他便开始冲他们狂吠,镜中的1000只小狗也冲着他狂吠,把他给吓坏了,他在离开时心想:“这是个可怖的地方,我再也不想来了。” 

世界上所有的脸都是镜子,在你所遇见的人的脸上,你看到的反射是什么?
