英语翻译
A farmer once owned an old mule．One day,the mule fell into a nearby well,and he began to struggle and made a lot of loud noise.After carefully assessing the situation,the farmer felt sympathy for the mule,but complained that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving,then he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened and requested them to help shovel some dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his suffering.Hearing many people coming to help,the old mule initially was excited ...But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back,a thought suddenly struck him.He was aware that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back,he should shake it off and step up!So he did,blow after blow.He repeated “Shake it off and step up!” to encourage himself.No matter how painful the blows were,or how disappointing the situation seemed,the old mule just .kept on shaking it off and stepping up!As you might have guessed,it was not long before the old mule finally stepped over the wall of the well,painful and tired.What would otherwise bury him,actually blessed him because of the manner in which he handled his adversity That is life!As long as we face our problems and respond to them positively ,and refuse to give in to panic,bitterness,or self­pity ,the adversities that come along to bury us usually have the potential to benefit and bless us!Forgiveness,tolerance,hope and perseverance are helpful in shaking it off and stepping up out of the well in which we find ourselves.

一个农夫曾经 养过一匹老骡.一天,骡子掉进附近的井里,它开始挣扎,发出很响的声音.认真考虑了这个状况之后,农夫虽然很同情骡子,但是他觉得不管是骡子还是井都不值得他费力去挽救.然后他召集了邻居们,告诉他们发生了什么事情,并请求邻居帮忙铲些土把井里的骡子埋了结束老骡的痛苦.听到很多人过来帮忙的声音,最初老骡感到很激动.但当农夫和邻居们继续铲土,而土砸到它背上时,它突然有了主意.它注意到,每一铲土落到它背上,它可以把土抖掉,然后往上踩.它就这样做了,一下接一下的.它一直重复着“把土抖掉,踩上去!”来鼓励自己.不管那些土砸下来有多痛,或者这个局面显得多么令人失望,老骡坚持把土抖掉并踩上去!正如你能猜到的那样,不久老骡终于跨过井沿,又痛又累的.正是因为它处理危机的方式,本来可能把它埋掉的东西,实际上救了它.这就是生活/人生.面对问题时,只要我们积极应对,拒绝陷入恐慌、怨天尤人或自怜自艾,本可能让我们担负不起的危机通常有可能让我们受益!宽容、忍耐、希望和坚持都能帮助我们摆脱困境,迈出我们所处的“井”
