英语原文：The Trouble Tree（音频链接）

I hired a worker to repair my house. He had a difficult first day on the job. As I drove home, the man didn`t say a word, but to my surprise, he invited me in to meet his family.

As we walked through his garden, He suddenly stopped at a small tree and placed his hands on it. Then when he opened the door, he completely changed. Instead of his troubled face, there was now a warm smile on his face. He hugged his two children and kissed his wife happily.

（音频链接）The following day, I asked him about the tree. “That`s my trouble tree. I won`t bring my troubles home, so I hang them on that tree every night when I come home.”

原文翻译:烦恼树（音频链接）

我雇了一个工人来修理我的房子。他上班的第一天很艰难。当我开车回家时，那人一句话也没说，但令我吃惊的是，他邀请我去见他的家人。

（音频链接）当我们穿过他的花园时，他突然停在一棵小树前，把手放在树上。当他开门时，他完全变了。他不再愁眉苦脸，而是脸上露出了温暖的笑容。他拥抱着他的两个孩子，高兴地吻了他的妻子。

第二天，我问他关于那棵树的事。“那是我的麻烦树。我不会把我的烦恼带回家的，所以我每天晚上回家都把它们挂在那棵树上。”
