生命的意义在于机会在眼前，我们就要去抓住他，错过了可能会遗憾终身，不要去等待机会的到来，很多时候真是应一句老话, "机不可失时不再来!"  。

Don't wait too long and miss the opportunity

        Each spring brings a blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel(定从) daily to work.

        每个春天，在我去工作的高速公路延边的渠道里有很多野花。

        This is one particular blue flower that had always caught my eyes(主从), I've noticed that it blooms only in the morining hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it, Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.

       我留意到每天早上有一种蓝色的野花让我着迷，但是他只在早上盛开，因为下午的太阳太温暖了，我连续两周每天都去看那些漂亮的野花。作者在这里很喜欢这些在渠道里的野花。

        This spring, I started a new wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window whille doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, "I'll stop on way home and dig them." "Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty." Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year for my  trunk(后备箱) to be used for expressed purpose.

        这个春天， 我就开始在我的院子里搞了一个野花花园，当我洗碗的的时候我能从橱窗看这些野花。作者在这里非常想把这些野花移到自己的院子里，甚至他的老公给他备了一把铲子在作者车子后备箱里让她方便转移这些野花。

        One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches(修剪渠道) and the pretty blue flowers were gone(宾从). I thought to my self, "way to go, you waited too long. you should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring(时间状语从句). "

        突然有天，高速公路部门开始修剪这些渠道，这些漂亮的野花都消失了，"way to go", 在这里有自责的意思，她自责自己没有把这些漂亮的野花转移到自己的花园里。 she blame herself for missing the opportunity to remove them from highway ditches to their wildflower garden.

        A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sisiter-in-law has a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven't been as close as well all would have liked, I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.

        作者在此笔锋一转，她老公的姐姐和这些野花一样，因为脑瘤离开了这世间，作者也非常的后悔，她的姐姐和这野花一样离开的很不幸。

        And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet(笃定) I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

        最后，作者用野花的生命短暂来告诫我们机会来了我们就不要等待，在笔者手下的高速公路更有人生道路的味道，不要错过机会，人生就像一条高速公里，所有美好可能就转瞬即逝，不要等待，唯有珍惜，一切都值得。
