英语美文正文：

One day, in a heavily crowded place, a young man began shouting.

“People, look at me. I have the most beautiful heart in the world.”

Many people looked at him and were stunned to see his beautiful heart in a perfect shape, without any flaw. It looked quite amazing. Most of the people who saw his heart were mesmerized by the beauty of his heart, and praised him.

However, there came an old man who challenged the young man,“No my son, I have got the most beautiful heart in the world!”

The young man asked him,“Show me your heart, then!”

The old man showed his heart to him. It was very rough, uneven, and had scars all over. In addition, the heart was not in shape; it appeared like bits and pieces joined in various colours. There were some rough edges; some parts were removed, and fitted with other pieces.

The young man started laughing, and said,“My dear old man, are you mad? See, my heart! How beautiful and flawless it is. You cannot find even a bit of imperfection in my heart. See, yours? It is full of scars, wounds, and blemishes. How can you say your heart is beautiful?”

“Dear boy, my heart is just as beautiful as your heart is. Did you see the scars? Each scar represents the love I shared with a person. I share a piece of my heart with others when I share love, and in return I get a piece of heart, which I fix at the place from where I have torn a piece!”said the old man.

The young man was shocked.

The old man continued,“Since the pieces of heart I shared were neither equal nor in the same shape or size, my heart is full of uneven edges and bits and pieces. My heart is not in shape because sometimes I do not get love in return from those to whom I gave it. Your heart that looks fresh and full with no scars indicates that you never shared love with anybody. Isn’t that true?”

The young man stood still and did not speak a word. Tears rolled down his cheeks. He walked to the old man, tore a piece of his heart and gave the piece to the old man.

Many give importance and respect to physical beauty. Yet, real beauty is not physical!

英语美文中文翻译：

一天，在一个人满为患的地方，一个年轻人开始大喊大叫起来。

“请大家看着我。我有这个世界上最美的心。“

很多人目光聚集到他的身上，看到他那完美无缺而分外美丽的心脏，着实惊呆了。看上是在太棒了。大多数看到他的心的人都被他那美丽的心所迷住了，并且称赞他。

然而，有一位老人向年轻人发起了质疑：“不！孩子，我才是拥有世界上最美丽的心的人！“

年轻人问他：“那就让我瞧瞧你的心吧！”

这位老人向他展示了他的心。它非常粗糙，不均匀，充满了伤疤。此外，心脏并不是原本的形状，它看上去就像是拼凑起来的状态，以不同的颜色连接在了一起，还有着那粗糙的外形;有些部分被祛除了，然后用其他的部分修补而成。

年轻人笑了起来，说：“我亲爱的老头子，你疯了吗？”看，我的心！它是多么的完美无瑕。你甚至在我心里找不到一点瑕疵。再看你的，充满了伤疤、伤口和瑕疵。你怎么能说你的心是美丽的呢？“

“亲爱的孩子，我的心和你的心一样美丽。你看到伤疤了吗？每一个伤痕都代表着我与一个人分享的爱。当我分享爱的时候，我就与他分享我心脏的一部分，与此同时，我也收到一部分心来填补我撕掉的地方。”

那个年轻人感到非常震惊。

老人继续说：“由于我分享的心的碎片既不是等量的，形状和大小也不尽相同，我的心充满了不均匀的边缘和碎片。我的心脏并不是原本的形状是因为有时候，我并不一定会得到那些我赠送过心的人。你的心看上去是如此的饱满而鲜艳，没有伤疤，这表明你从未与任何人分享过爱。这不是真的吗？”

那个年轻人一动不动地站着，一句话也没说。泪水从他的面颊上滚落下来。他走到老人跟前，撕下一块心，把那块给了老人。

英语美文寓意：许多人重视和尊重身体美。然而，真正的美并从身体上来看的！
