秘密花园｜The Secret Garden

原著作者｜弗朗西丝·霍奇森·伯内特 What kind of child would grow up if she had never been loved, even by everyone around her The story's main character, Mary, is exactly such a girl She was born in India, her parents too busy with parties and social life, leaving her in the care of a nurse Raised in coldness, Mary was bad-tempered and pale, like a little tree that had grown crooked A sudden plague took her parents' lives, and Mary became an orphan She was sent to an ancient manor in Yorkshire, England called Misselthwaite The manor sat on the wild moors, with a hundred rooms, yet deadly still Its master Mr. Craven was always traveling abroad Because ten years ago, his beloved wife died accidentally in the garden He locked that garden, buried the key, and locked his own heart away When Mary first arrived at the manor, she wandered the moors with nothing to do each day Until one day, guided by a robin, she dug up a rusty copper key from the earth Then a strong wind blew open the thick ivy on the wall, and a hidden narrow door appeared before her Mary pushed the door open and entered, greeted by a world abandoned for ten years Everywhere were dead roses and tangled weeds But beneath the silence, Mary caught a signal of life, tiny delicate sprouts just beginning to emerge This little girl who had never felt love before, for the first time felt a desire to protect something She began secretly weeding and loosening the soil, she would revive this garden During this time, Mary met two people her own age who would change her life forever One was Dickon, a farm boy who seemed to be the spirit of the moors themselves He could talk to all the animals, and he taught Mary how to live in harmony with nature The other was the manor's secret, the young master Colin Colin was Mr. Craven's only son Because of his wife's accident, Mr. Craven could not even bear to look at this child Colin stayed in bed all day, believing he was a hunchback, a monster close to death He screamed and threw tantrums, ruling the whole manor with fear But when Mary burst into his room, and used the most direct words to expose his cowardice and illusions, these two lonely souls collided Mary and Dickon made a bold decision, to secretly bring Colin into the secret garden That was where miracles began When Colin first breathed fresh air, and saw sunlight filtering through the rose vines, he felt magic This so-called magic was actually the power of life itself In the garden, the children worked together, ran and laughed Mary became rosy and cheerful And Colin, who once believed he could never stand, actually stood up and took his first steps in the sunshine As the garden came back to life, the children's hearts completed their transformation too When Mr. Craven heard his late wife's call in a dream, and returned to the manor What he saw was no longer a gloomy ruin, but a paradise filled with laughter and blooming flowers And there stood a healthy, upright son waiting for his father A person's heart is like a garden If you let it lie barren, it will grow weeds of jealousy, selfishness and anxiety But if you are willing to take up the key and sow hope, even a wild moor can bloom with the most brilliant roses When you change the way you see the world, the whole world will change for you前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
