你把你的一切奉献出来了。你那婷婷玉立的绰约身姿、那清丽的容貌，给世界以美。你那清香而富于营养的莲子、你那中通外直的茎——藕、那供给人们熬成解暑的粥，制成清热的药的叶子。世上的观赏植物中有谁能似你这么中用？世上的食用植物中又有谁能像你这么秀美脱俗？

You have given everything you have. Your graceful posture and beautiful appearance give the world beauty. Your fragrant and nutritious lotus seed, your straight stem - lotus root, the congee for people to boil into heat relief, and the leaves for heat clearing medicine. Who among the world's ornamental plants can be as useful as you? Who in the world's edible plants can be as beautiful and refined as you?

你生活在水中，却不似那浮萍漂浮不定，能就地生根。你扎根于水底的淤泥中，却不是似那终身庸碌无闻的水草，总是倔强地抛头露面于水上，去享受阳光，去装点世界，去奉献你自己。你的品格，谁能不敬？

You live in the water, but not like the duckweed floating, can take root in place. You are rooted in the mud of the bottom of the water, but you are not like the mediocre water grass. You are always stubborn to appear on the water, to enjoy the sunshine, to decorate the world, to dedicate yourself. Who can disrespect your character?

所以，古往今来，人们赞美你、向往你。在生活里，人们把“出水芙蓉”，当作美丽、健康的象征。人们用“并蒂莲”象征和谐的夫妻。人们还以弄莲的小儿图表达祈求子孙兴旺的愿望。在神话里，你那一段一段的藕节竟能合成一个小神仙——哪吒。尊贵的菩萨，坐的就是你那“莲花宝座”。几个世纪前，就有一位老人为你的“出污泥而不染，濯清涟而不妖。”所感动，写下了名篇——《爱莲说》。那位身处战乱年代的文弱书生，那位宁可饿死也拒绝接受“嗟来”的美国面粉的铮铮铁汉，在那“心里颇不宁静的夜晚”，出了门就直奔你而来。传世佳篇《荷塘月色》也因此问世。
