内容概要

　　“生活中并不缺少美，而是缺少发现美的眼睛。”雕塑家罗丹在几个世纪前就已一语道破天机。也许我们整日形色匆匆、步履急切，却困在现代社会的悖论之中：我们为了生活而努力奔波，却在同时忘了要怎么生活；我们迫切地需要爱和温暖，却对转角的温馨视而不见；我们为了学习英语而学习，却忘了这个美丽的语言并不是冷冰冰的一堆符号，而是经过组合排列便可以营造出或是浪漫或是苦涩的故事。聆听每一颗心跳的声音。

章节摘录

　　The first thing we did was neuter him， a seemingly benign project，except it took us an hour to complete the usual 20-minute procedure，and an anesthetic overdose kept him out for 36 hours. Afterward， herecovered his strength quickly and felt good.Two weeks later， we did an abdominal exploratory surgery， opening hisabdomen， checking his organ inventory， and closing him again.This was the first major surgery for any of us， and， with inadequatesupervision， we did not close him properly. By the next morning， hisincision had opened and he was sitting on his small intestine. Hastily，we sewed him up again， and he survived. But it was a week or morebefore he could resume walks he had come to eagerly anticipated.He would still wag his tail when we arrived and greet us with as muchenthusiasm as he could muster.　　The following week， again when he was under anesthesia， we broke hisleg and repaired it with a steel pin. After this， Rodney seemed in almostconstant pain， his temperature rose， and he didn't rebound as he hadin the past. His resiliency was gone， despite antibiotic treatment， henever recovered completely.　　He could no longer manage his walks， and our visits generated only aweak thump of his tail. The shine was gone from his brown eyes. Hisoperated leg remained stiff and swollen.
