Tagore's poem 泰戈尔·诗

The lamp waits through the long day of neglect for the flame's kiss in the night.　　
灯在冷淡的漫长的白天里等待夜光里光焰的一吻。　　　　
Feathers in the dust lying lazily content have forgotten their sky.　　
羽毛懒洋洋地躺在灰尘里，心满意足，忘了它们的天空。　　
　　The flower which is single need not envy the　thorns that are numerous.　　
孤零的花朵用不着羡慕丛生的荆棘。　　　　　　
The world suffers most from the disinterested　　tyranny of its well-wisher.　　
世界在痛痒无关的专暴中为它的好心者而遭受最大的痛苦。　　　　　　
We gain freedom when we have paid the full price　　for our right to live.　　
我们给我们的生存权利付出了最高的代价后才获得自由。　　　　　　
Your careless gifts of a moment , like the meteors　　of an autumn night,catch fire the depth of my being.　　你这一瞬间粗心的礼物像秋夜的陨星，在我存在的深处着了火。　　　　
The faith waiting in the heart of a seed promises　　a miracle of life which it cannot prove at once.　　伤心在种子的心坎里等待承诺一种它不能当下证实的生命的奇迹。　　　　　　
Spring hesitates at winter's door,but the mango　　blossom rashly runs out to him before her time　　and meets her doom.　　春天在严冬的门口徘徊，但芒果花卤莽地跑向他，在她　　花期之前，便遇到了她的末运。　　　　　　
The world is the ever-changing foam that floats　　on the surface of a sea of silence.　　
尘世是常变的泡沫漂浮在一海的沉默之水面上。　　　　　　
The two separated shores mingle their voices in　　a song of unfathomed tears.　　遥遥相对的海岸在渊深莫测的泪海之歌里调和它们的呼声。　　　　　　
As a river in the sea,work finds its fulfilment　　in the depth of leisure.　　
像江河到了海洋，劳动在悠闲的深处得到了完美。　　　　
I lingered on my way till thy cherry tree lost　　its blossom,but the azalea brings to me,my love,　　thy forgiveness.　　
我在路上彷徨，直到你的樱花凋谢了，但我的爱呀，杜　　鹃花却带给我你的饶恕。　　　　　　
Thy shy little pomegranate bud,blushing to-day behind her veil , will burst into a passionate　　flower to-morrow when I am away.　　你害羞的小石榴花蕊，今天在她面纱后面脸红，明天　　当我离开后却会开出动情的花朵来。　　　　　　
The clumisiness of power spoils the key,and uses　　the pickaxe.　　权力的拙劣惯坏了钥匙，还利用了鹤嘴锄。　　　　　　Brith is from the mystery of night into the greater　　mystery of day.　　新生是从黑夜的神秘进入白天更大的神秘里。　　　　　　
These paper boats of mine are meant to dance on the　　ripples of bours,and not to reach any destination.　　我的这些纸船打算在时间的微波上舞蹈，却不是要到任何目的地去。　　　　Migratory songs wing from my heart and seck　　their nests in your voice od love.　　飘泊的歌儿从我心中飞去在你爱的呼声里寻找窠巢。　　　　　　
The sea of danger,doubt and denial around man's　　little island of certainty challenges him to　　dare the unknown.　　危险，怀疑，和拒绝之海洋围绕着人的恒定之小岛　　要他向未来挑战。　　　　　　Love punishes when it forgives,and injured　　beauty by its awful silence.　　爱情饶恕时便惩罚，还用它极端的沉默损害了美。　　　　　　
You live alone and unrecompensed because they　　are afraid of your great worth.　　你孤零地活着毫无报酬，因为他们怕你伟大的价值。　　　　　　
The same sun is newly born in new lands in a　　ring of endless dawns.　　在一串无尽的黎明中，同一个太阳刚刚从新国土里诞生。　　　　
God's world is ever renewed by death,a Titan's　　ever crushed by its own existence.　　上帝的世界永远从死里再生,巨魔的世界却总被它本身　　的存在所粉碎。　　　　　　The glow-worm while exploring the dust never　　knows that stars are in the sky.　　土萤在灰尘里探索时从来不知道天空里有星星。　　　　　　
The tree is of to-day,the flower is old , it　　brings with it the message of the immemorial　　seed.　　树儿是今天的，花儿却老哩，她带来太古洪荒时种子的消息。　　　　　　
Each rose that comes brings me greetings from　　the Rose of an eternal spring,God honours me　　when Iwork,He loves me when I sing.　　每一朵处开的玫瑰都给我从永恒的春天之“玫瑰”带　　来祝福。我工作时上帝就给我光荣，我歌唱时他就给　　我爱。　　　　　　
My love of to-day finds no home in the nest　　deserted by yesterday's love.　　在昨天的爱遗弃了的窠里，我今天的爱找不到家。　　　　The fire of pain traces for my soul a luminous　　path across her sorrow.　　痛苦的火通过她的忧郁替我心灵探索到一条光明的路。　　　　　　The grass survives the hill through its resurrections　　from countless deaths.　　草儿从无数死亡中复活，所以山死后它还活着。　　　　　　Thou hast vanished from my reach leaving an impalpable　　touch in the blue of the sky,an invisible image in the　　wind moving among the shadows.　　你从我手中消失了，只在天空的蔚蓝里留下了感觉不到的一触，　　一个在风里，飘摇在影子里，不可见的幻像。

Strategy for 6 handed poker games

Shorthanded poker is a fascinating game. The major differences from full ring are that hand values change and their ranges are much wider than full ring. Some plays that were reckless at a full table can be profitable 6 handed.
Let's take pocket pairs for example. Would you raise a pair of deuces UTG at a full ring table ? Probably not, but when you are playing 6 handed it is always profitable to play your hand like AK.
So what are the main differences between 6 max and full ring from a strategic standpoint?
* In 6 max you can play your pocket pairs like AK from any position. Even when your c bet doesn't take down the pot your hand has more value than full ring.
* Your made hands are much stronger in 6 max games. You still have to worry about pot control but you have more room for value betting as a rule.
* A majority of pots will be played heads up or 3 handed. Because the game is more fast paced there will be numerous EV spots for the good player.
* You can make some aggressive three bets preflop such as squeeze plays. This is only because the late position openers' ranges are much wider.
Can't make up your mind on your favorite kind of game? Here is a test for you. Count up how many times you replied yes to the following questions.
* Do you like pushing your preflop equities and value betting your strong hands more often. 6 max will give you a lot of these opportunities.
* Are you a splasher, do you enjoy playing many pots in position? 6 max games favor the loose aggressive players giving them more hands to play.
* Do you take poker seriously and put in the hours ? Your hourly will be greater 6 handed because you will see more hands. This is especially true if you multi-table.
* Do you take the time to study your opponents and make your plays based on specific reads. 6 max will give the opportunity to develop great reads.
The bottom line is that the best game really comes down to your affinities and skill set. It also depends on your aversion to risk.

Similar to English idiom, 成语 (Chéngyǔ) are also word groups and phrases which are established through usage and are accepted through practice. Unlike English idiom, a 成语 (Chéngyǔ) is often made of a fixed number of Chinese characters which pronunciations tend to rhyme. The most common word length of a 成语 (Chéngyǔ) is four. There are also some 成语 (Chéngyǔ) which are of 3, 6, 7, 8, 3+3, 4+4, 5+5, 6+6, 7+7, etc., characters.
