    A boy and his father walk in the mountains. Suddenly the boy falls, hurts himself, and cries, "AAAhhhhhhhh!!!" To his surprise, he hears the voice(声音) repeating(重复), somewhere in the mountain, "AAAhhhhhhhh!!!" Then the boy cries again, "Who are you?" He hears the answer "Who are you?" He thinks someone else in the mountain is laughing at him, so he gets angry and shouts "Foolish!" He receives the answer "Foolish!"

    He looks at his father and asks, "What's going on?" The father smiles and says, "My son, listen." And then he shouts to the mountain, "I love you!" The voice answers, "I love you!" Again the man cries, "You're the best!" The voice answers, "You're the best!"

    The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains(解释), "People call this 'Echo', but really this is life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is just a reflection（反映）of what we have done. If you want more love in the world, have more love in your heart. If you want to be successful(成功), work hard. This can be used in everything in life. Life will give you back everything you have given to it."

酬乐天扬州初逢席上见赠

（唐）刘禹锡

巴山楚水凄凉地，二十三年弃置身。

怀旧空吟闻笛赋，到乡翻似烂柯人。

沉舟侧畔千帆过，病树前头万木春。

今日听君歌一曲，暂凭杯酒长精神。
