A Peaceful storm

《平静的风暴》

A young man applied for a job as a farmhand.

When the farmer asked for his qualifications, he said, "I can sleep through a storm."

This puzzled the farmer, but he liked the young man, so he hired him.

一个年轻人去应聘农场工人的工作。  

当农场主问他的资历时，他回答说：“我可以在风暴中安然入睡。”  

这让农场主感到困惑，但他喜欢这个年轻人，所以雇用了他。

A few weeks later, the farmer and his wife were awakened in the night by a violent storm ripping through the valley.

They quickly began to check things to see if everything was secure.

They found that the shutters of the farmhouse had been securely fastened.

A good supply of logs had been set next to the fireplace.

The farmer and his wife then inspected their property.

They found that the farm tools had been placed in the storage shed, safe from the climate.

几周后的一天晚上，农场主和他的妻子被一场猛烈的风暴惊醒，这场风暴正横扫山谷。  

他们迅速开始检查，看看一切是否安全。  

他们发现农舍的百叶窗已经牢牢固定。  

壁炉旁堆放着充足的柴火。  

农场主和他的妻子接着检查了他们的财产。  

他们发现农具已经被放置在储藏棚里，安全地避开了恶劣天气。  

They saw that the bales of wheat had been bound and wrapped in tarpaulins.

The tractor had been moved into its garage.

The barn was properly locked tight.

Even the animals were calm and had plenty of food.

All was well.

他们看到麦草捆已经被包裹并用防水油布覆盖。  

拖拉机也已经停放在车库里。  

谷仓的门紧紧锁住。  

甚至动物们都很平静，食物也充足。  

一切都很安好。  

The farmer then understood the meaning of the young man's words.

The farmhand had done his work diligently and faithfully when the skies were clear.

He was prepared for any storm.

So when the storm actually broke, he was not concerned or afraid.

Moral of the story is: preparation and diligence during calm times lead to peace and security during hard times.

农场主这才明白年轻人话语的含义。  

这位农场工人在晴朗的日子里尽职尽责，勤勤恳恳。  

他已经为任何风暴做好了准备。  

所以，当风暴真正来临时，他并不担忧或害怕。  

故事的寓意是：在平静时期的准备和勤奋会在艰难时期带来平和与安全。
