中文故事

沙子里的二氧化硅（silica）有一种顽固（willful）的方式捕捉光线。当阳光恰好照射时，光线会弯曲，这个过程叫做折射（refraction）。这种闪烁是偶然（fortuitous）的。看着它，我突然有了领悟（insight）：即使是最微小的颗粒也能创造出美丽的事物。我决定不丢弃（discard）这个简单的观察，而是围绕它建立一个概念（concept）：只要我们花时间去观察，美丽就能在意想不到的地方被发现。

英语故事

The silica in the sand had a willful way of catching the light. When the sun hit it just right, the light would bend, a process called refraction. It was a fortuitous accident, this sparkle. Looking at it, I had a sudden insight: even the smallest grains could create something beautiful. I decided not to discard this simple observation, but to build a concept around it: that beauty can be found in unexpected places, if only we take the time to look.
