一次偶然休息时，低头瞥到了阳台中一盆小小的珊瑚棒。差不多半年没注意到了吧，这个在角落里的不起眼的小生命。此时，它正朝气蓬勃地昂着头，努力地向远方眺望。于是，我慢慢向它走，思绪渐渐回到以前……
During a chance break, I glanced down at a small coral rod in the balcony. I haven't noticed it for almost half a year, this inconspicuous little life in the corner. At this moment, it is vigorously holding its head high, striving to gaze into the distance. So, I slowly walked towards it, and my thoughts gradually returned to the past
还得从三年前讲起：教室里需购置花木，于是我们和老师顶着太阳去花店。我们一下子就看中了这盆有些'”羞涩”的珊瑚棒，虽然又矮又短，但看着却十分别致，于是，我和同学便一齐将这盆花搬进了教室。从此，我与珊瑚棒之间命运的齿轮开始转动……
We have to start from three years ago: the classroom needed to purchase flowers and trees, so we went to the flower shop with our teacher under the sun. We immediately took a liking to this somewhat 'shy' coral rod. Although it was short and short, it looked very unique. So, my classmates and I brought this flower into the classroom together. From then on, the gears of fate between me and the coral rod began to turn
说来也巧，珊瑚棒正好摆在窗边的位置，而我也正好靠窗坐着，一转头，就能望见那一盆绿油油的散发着光的珊瑚棒。每至夏日，阳光从窗外投射进来，照在珊瑚棒上，发出耀眼的绿色光芒。它的影子有时会调皮地“溜”进作业本上，趁我不注意时又投射到我手指尖，极是可爱；那绿而光滑的枝条上点缀着几片小嫩叶，似绿色的碎花隐约可见；有时，风儿会轻轻地从许多交错着的”绿棒”间钻过，轻轻柔柔地拂动着”绿棒”。看着绿绿的珊瑚棒，听着夏天的蝉鸣，和着暖暖的阳光，谁能不被深深陶醉？
Coincidentally, the coral rod was placed right by the window, and I was sitting by the window. As soon as I turned my head, I could see the pot of green coral rods emitting light. Every summer, sunlight shines through the window and illuminates the coral rods, emitting a dazzling green glow. Its shadow sometimes mischievously "slips" onto my workbook, and when I'm not paying attention, it projects onto my fingertips, which is extremely cute; The green and smooth branches were adorned with a few small tender leaves, and green floral fragments were faintly visible; Sometimes, the wind gently passes through many intertwined "green sticks" and gently brushes them. Looking at the green coral rods, listening to the cicadas chirping in summer, and basking in the warm sunshine, who wouldn't be deeply intoxicated?
看着它一天天飞快地生长，我也一天天成长。很快，我毕业了，我拿走了这份陪伴了我两年的”小绿棒”当毕业纪念礼。
Watching it grow rapidly day by day, I am also growing day by day. Soon, I graduated and took this "little green stick" that had accompanied me for two years as my graduation anniversary gift.
此后，我几乎天天都会跑去阳台看看它。曾经，它因为长得太长，被妈妈狠心”修剪”了好多”绿棒”，那伤口上白白的汁液，仿佛它哭泣的眼泪。看着一根根断了的棒子，我不禁惋惜，更为此伤心不已：它浑身上下围绕着一股死寂，曾经生机盎然的它，如今，却落到枝折花落，似一个败兵，身体残缺……
Afterwards, I would almost go to the balcony every day to take a look at it. Once, because it grew too long, its mother cruelly "trimmed" many "green sticks", and the white juice on the wound was like tears it cried. Looking at the broken sticks one by one, I couldn't help but feel regretful and even more heartbroken: it was surrounded by a dead silence all over its body, once full of vitality, but now it has fallen into branches and flowers, like a defeated soldier, with a damaged body
可是没过多久，我竟然发现它比以前更茂盛了！绿色的枝丫指向天空，似一个正喷射的火箭正要窜入云霄。即使在不起眼的角落，没有雨露的滋润，没有阳光的关爱，它却铺展出一份感人的、令人激动的故事，它在默默地为大自然贡献出自己的一份绿色。这不正是我需要的精神吗？
But not long after, I found that it was even more lush than before! The green branches point towards the sky, like a shooting rocket about to soar into the clouds. Even in inconspicuous corners, without the nourishment of rain and dew, without the care of sunshine, it unfolds a touching and exciting story, silently contributing its own green to nature. Isn't this exactly the spirit I need?
初中三年，是我人生中重要阶段之一，也许代表着，我将会面临许多挑战、痛苦、压力……但，如果我坚持下去，迎难而上，是否也能像这珊瑚树般，终有向全世界绽放的一天？
The three years of junior high school are one of the important stages in my life. Perhaps it represents that I will face many challenges, pain, and pressure... But if I persist and face difficulties, can I also bloom like this coral tree to the world one day?
我蹲在珊瑚树旁，仔细欣赏着这个在角落里顽强的小生命，这个在角落中的奇迹。
I crouched beside the coral tree, carefully admiring this tenacious little life in the corner, this miracle in the corner.
