Flora是一个与植物相关的英文名,它源自拉丁语“Florentia”,意为“盛开的花”。这个名字在许多文化中都很受欢迎,尤其在希腊和罗马神话中,花神Flora被描绘成掌管所有植物和花卉的女神。
在英语中,Flora也是一个常见的女名,通常用于描述一个有着美丽、优雅和迷人气质的女性。它也可以与其他词汇结合使用,如Floral(花的,由“Flora”和“le”组成,意为“花的”)或Florist(花店老板或从事花卉种植或销售的人)。
除了Flora,还有许多与植物和花卉相关的英文名,如Jasmine(茉莉)、Lily(百合)、Rose(玫瑰)、Cherry(樱桃)和Orchid(兰花)。这些名字都与美丽和优雅的花朵有关,并且在世界各地都有广泛的应用。

My
grandparents
were
married
for
over
half
a
century,
and
played
their
own
special
game
from
the
time
they
had
met
each
other
The
goal
of
their
game
was
to
write
the
word
"shmily"
in
a
surprise
place
for
the
other
to
find
They
took
turns
leaving
"shmily"
around
the
house,
and
as
soon
as
one
of
them
discovered
it,
it
was
their
turn
to
hide
it
once
more
They
dragged
"shmily"
with
their
fingers
through
the
sugar
and
flour
containers
to
await
whoever
was
preparing
the
next
meal
They
smeared
it
in
the
dew
on
the
windows
overlooking
the
patio
where
my
grandma
always
fed
us
warm,
homemade
pudding
with
blue
food
coloring
"Shmily"
was
written
in
the
steam
left
on
the
mirror
after
a
hot
shower,
where
it
would
reappear
bath
after
bath
At
one
point,
my
grandmother
even
unrolled
an
entire
roll
of
toilet
paper
to
leave
"shmily"
on
the
very
last
sheet
There
was
no
end
to
the
places
"shmily"
would
pop
up
Little
notes
with
"shmily"
scribbled
hurriedly
were
found
on
dashboards
and
car
seats,
or
taped
to
steering
wheels
The
notes
were
stuffed
inside
shoes
and
left
under
pillows
"Shmily"
was
written
in
the
dust
upon
the
mantel
and
traced
in
the
ashes
of
the
fireplace
This
mysterious
word
was
as
much
a
part
of
my
grandparents'
house
as
the
furniture
It
took
me
a
long
time
before
I
was
able
to
fully
appreciate
my
grand-parents'
game
Skepticism
has
kept
me
from
believing
in
true
love-one
that
is
pure
and
enduring
However,
I
never
doubted
my
grandparents'
relationship
They
had
love
down
patIt
was
more
than
their
flirtatious
little
games;
it
was
a
way
of
life
Their
relationship
was
based
on
a
devotion
and
passionate
affection
which
not
everyone
is
lucky
to
experience
Grandma
and
Grandpa
hold
hands
every
chance
they
could
They
stole
kisses
as
they
bumped
into
each
other
in
their
tiny
kitchen
They
finished
each
other's
sentences
and
shared
the
daily
crossword
puzzle
and
word
jumble
My
grandma
whispered
to
me
about
how
cute
my
grandpa
was,
how
handsome
and
old
he
had
grown
to
be
She
claimed
that
she
really
knew
"how
to
pick
'em"
Before
every
meal
they
bowed
their
heads
and
gave
thanks,
marveling
at
their
blessings:
a
wonderful
family,
good
fortune,
and
each
other
But
there
was
a
dark
cloud
in
my
grandparents'
life:
my
grandmother
had
breast
cancer
The
disease
had
first
appeared
ten
years
earlier
As
always,
Grandpa
was
with
her
every
step
of
the
way
He
comforted
her
in
their
yellow
room,
painted
that
way
so
that
she
could
always
be
surrounded
by
sunshine,
even
when
she
was
too
sick
to
go
outside
Now
the
cancer
was
again
attacking
her
body
With
the
help
of
a
cane
and
my
grandfather's
steady
hand,
they
went
to
church
every
morning
But
my
grandmother
grew
steadily
weaker
until,
finally,
she
could
not
leave
the
house
anymore
For
a
while,
Grandpa
would
go
to
church
alone,
praying
to
God
to
watch
over
his
wife
Then
one
day,
what
we
all
dreaded
finally
happened
Grandma
was
gone
"Shmily"
It
was
scrawled
in
yellow
on
the
pink
ribbons
of
my
grandmother's
funeral
bouquet
As
the
crowd
thinned
and
the
last
mourners
turned
to
leave,
my
aunts,
uncles,
cousins
and
other
family
members
came
forward
and
gathered
around
Grandma
one
last
time
Grandpa
stepped
up
to
my
grandmother's
casket
and,
taking
a
shaky
breath,
he
began
to
sing
to
her
Through
his
tears
and
grief,
the
song
came,
a
deep
and
throaty
lullaby
Shaking
with
my
own
sorrow,
I
will
never
forget
that
moment
For
I
knew
that,
although
I
couldn't
begin
to
fathom
the
depth
of
their
love,
I
had
been
privileged
to
witness
its
unmatched
beauty

《知道我有多爱你》美
罗伯特
罗杰斯(源自儿童文学)
我的祖父和祖母结婚已逾半个世纪,然而多少年来,他们彼此间不倦地玩着一个特殊的游戏:在一个意想不到的地方写下“Shmily”这个词留待对方来发现。他们轮换着在屋前房后留下“Shmily”,一经对方发现,就开始新的一轮。
他们用手指在糖罐和面箱里写下“Shmily”,等着准备下一餐饭的对方来发现;他们在覆着霜花的玻璃上写下“Shmily”;一次又一次的热水澡后,总可以看见雾气蒙罩的镜子上留下的“Shmily”。
有时,祖母甚至会重卷一整卷卫生纸,只为了在最后一片纸上写下“Shmily”。
没有“Shmily”不可能出现的地方。仓促间涂写的“Shmily”会出现在汽车坐垫上,或是一张贴在方向盘轴心的小纸条上。这一类的字条会被塞进鞋子里或是压在枕下。
“Shmily”会被书写在壁炉台面的薄尘上,或是勾画在炉内的灰底上。这个神秘的词,像祖父母的家具一样成了他们房间的一部分。
直到很久以后,我才能完全理解祖父母之间游戏的意义。年轻时我不懂得爱——那种纯洁且历久弥坚的爱。然而,我从未怀疑过祖父母之间的感情。他们彼此深爱。他们的小游戏已远非调情消遣,那是一种生活方式。他们之间的感情是基于一种深挚的爱和献身精神,不是每一个人都能体验到的。
祖父和祖母一有机会就彼此执手相握。他们在小厨房里错身而过时偷吻;他们说完彼此的半截句子;他们一起玩拼字和字谜游戏。祖母常忘情地对我耳语祖父有多可爱迷人,依然还是那么帅气。她骄傲地宣称自己的确懂得“如何选择”。每次餐前他们垂首祈祷时,感谢他们受到的诸多福佑:一个幸福的家庭、好运道和拥有彼此。
可是一片乌去遮蔽了祖父母的家:祖母的癌恶化了。首次发现是在10年前。跟以往一样,祖父总是跟祖母肩并肩地走过人生艰难之旅的每一步。为了安慰祖母,祖父将他们的卧房喷涂成**,这样在祖母病重不能出屋时,亦能感到周围的阳光。
起先,在祖父坚实的手臂和拐杖的帮扶下,他们每天清晨一起去教堂散步和默祷。但随着祖母日见瘦弱,终于,祖父只能独自去教堂,祈求上帝看顾他的妻子。
然而那一天,我们担心忧惧的事终于还是发生了,祖母去了。
“Shmily”写在祖母葬礼上花束的**缎带上。当人群散去,叔伯、姑姑和其他的家庭成员又走上前来最后一次围聚在祖母身旁。祖父步向祖母的灵柩,用颤抖的声音轻轻的唱起“知道我有多么爱你……”透过悲伤的泪,这歌声低沉轻柔地飘入耳来……
我终于明白了他们特殊小游戏的意义“S—
h—
m—
I—
l—
y”:“See
how
much
I
love
you(知道我多么爱你)”。
因悲伤而颤栗着,我永远无法忘记那一刻,这个令人震撼的发现。谢谢你们,祖父祖母,教我懂得了爱。
相关的小故事1
在很久很久以前,有一对老夫妻,他们非常的相爱,他们想用一种方式让对方在任何时候能够感受到这份感情。于是他们共同选择了这个单词——Shmily。
从此以后,他们就开始玩起了一个只属于他们自己的游戏,他们中的一个人把这个单词写在纸上“藏”在任何一个对方能够发现的地方,也许是对方的衣服口袋里,也许是对方的枕头下面,也许是对方的钱包里,也许,也许……,等对方发现了这个单词,他们就又开始了下一轮的游戏,就是换一个人去藏,另一个人去找,于是,沐浴后浴室的镜子上,早餐的蛋糕上,电话机旁甚至是袜子里,都可以发现这个单词。他们找到这个单词时,总是那么的开心,也坚持一遍又一遍的重复着这个游戏。一直持续了很多年。
直到有一天,他们都老了,那个老奶奶再也不能玩这个游戏了,他静静的守在她的身边,老奶奶反复的说着这个单词,告诉他,“下辈子还要和他玩这个游戏。”老爷爷忍不住哭了,他拼命的点着头,老奶奶在他的身边含着笑静静的离开了。
老爷爷一个人回了家,开始整理老奶奶的遗物,他在床下面找到了一个盒子,他打开一看,里面装的全是这么多年他写的带有那个单词的纸条。还有一封老奶奶留给他的信,上面只有六个字“亲爱的,向上看”老爷爷慢慢的抬起头,他的泪立刻流了下来,因为他发现在老奶奶住院的时候,老奶奶让人在他们的天花板上用粉色的油漆写下了这个单词。他也明白了为什么那段时间,老奶奶不让他回家……
我想这个老爷爷虽然失去了老奶奶,但他依然是幸福的,因为他拥有着那么多美好的回忆,拥有着那么刻骨铭心的感情……
听说,后来人们发现在他们的墓碑后面,深深的刻着Shmily。
相关的小故事2
从前,有一个女孩和一个男孩相爱着,他们的爱情很美好,但是女孩和男孩的性格却恰恰相反。女孩特别的外向而男孩特别的内向,也许就因为这一点吧,女孩希望男孩多爱她一些,但是男孩却做不到,女孩希望男孩为他们的爱情而改变,可男孩就一直都没有。女孩在男孩的每一本书上都写了“shmily”这个单词,但男孩不明白它的意思,也没有去问。后来女孩终于无法再忍受男孩对她那种冷漠的态度了,她决定离开他,带着对他的爱离开了,男孩也放开了这份爱,但是可以肯定的说那时他们仍然互相爱着对方。
过了很久,那个男孩已经变成了一位老人,一天他无意间走在大街上看了一家花店,名字就做shmily。老人进了花店,一位漂亮的姑娘,问到:先生需要什么?老人说:姑娘能告诉我,你的花店名字的来历吗?女孩说:当然可以,这是我在我外婆的每一本书上看到的。
Shmily是“Say
How
Much
I
Love
You”的缩写——说我有多爱你!
老人无语泪流……
"
男孩一直爱着女孩。终于有一天,女孩接受了男孩,他们幸福的恋爱着。可是有一天,因为女孩的不小心,伤害了男孩。于是,他们分开了。可是,女孩爱着男孩,不能自拔。一年了,直到现在,女孩仍痴心的爱着男孩,虽然男孩把女孩当陌生人对待。她真的好傻。
某人,我知道你英语不好,也从没想过你会理解Shmily的意思。不过我还是让你猜了一次。希望有一天,你会看到我留下的字迹,了解我的心意。看我有多爱你……
“Shmily!”“别绕了,我爱你!”
