這是一篇令我們感到慚愧的文章。
我們和許多老人一樣，一生像是在頭等艙裡吃方便麵。
一對老夫婦省吃儉用地將4個孩子扶養長大。歲月匆匆，他們結婚已有50年了，擁有極佳收入的孩子們，正秘密商議著要送給父母什麼樣的金婚禮物。
由於老夫婦喜歡攜手到海邊享受夕陽餘暉，孩子們決定送給父母最豪華的愛之船旅遊航程，好讓老兩口盡情徜徉於大海的旖旎風情之中。
老夫婦帶著頭等艙的船票登上豪華遊輪，可以容納數千人的大船令他們讚歎不已。而船上更有游泳池、豪華餐廳、電影院等等，令他們倆驚喜無限。
美中不足的是，各項豪華設備的費用皆十分昂貴。節儉的老夫婦盤算自己不多的旅費，細想之下，實在不捨得輕易去消費。他們只得在頭等艙中安享五星級的套房設備，或流連在甲板上，欣賞海面的風光。
幸好他們怕船上伙食不合胃口，隨身帶著一箱泡麵，既然吃不起船上豪華餐廳的精緻餐飲，那就以泡麵充飢，間或想變換口味吃吃西餐，便到船上的商店買些麵包和牛奶。
到了航程的最後一夜，老先生想，若回到家後，親友鄰居問起船上餐飲如何，自己竟答不上來，也是說不過去。
和太太商量後，老先生索性狠下心來，決定在晚餐時間到船上餐廳用餐，反正是最後一餐，明天即是航程的終點，也不怕寵壞了自己。
在音樂及燭光的烘託之下，歡度金婚紀念的老夫婦彷彿回到初戀時的快樂。在舉杯暢飲的笑聲中，用餐時間已近尾聲，老先生意猶未盡地招來侍者結賬。
侍者很有禮貌地問老先生：“能不能讓我看一看你的船票？”
老先生聞言不由得生氣，“我又不是偷渡上船的，吃頓飯還得看船票？”嘟囔中，他拿出船票了。
侍者接過船票，拿出筆來，在船票背面的許多空格中劃去一格。同時驚訝地問：“老先生，你上船以後，從未消費過嗎？”
老先生更是生氣：“我消不消費，關你什麼事？”
侍者耐心地將船票遞過去，解釋道：“這是頭等艙的船票，航程中船上所有的消費項目，包括餐飲、唱歌以及其他活動，都已經包括在船票內。您每次消費只需出示船票，由我們在背後空格註銷即可。”
老夫婦想起航程中每天所吃的泡麵，而明天即將下船，不禁相對默然。
其實我們每個人都在豪華遊輪上，手握著一張頭等艙船票。
人生，就是上天賜予我們的豪華遊輪。
而我們的生命，就是這張頭等艙船票。
當我們有幸開啟這趟旅途，千萬不要浪費了這張船票，放棄體驗人生的各種可能。
許多人在他的一生，只是過著猶如借泡麵充飢一般的生活。
這並非是他們應有的船票，但他們未曾想到去使用，或根本不知道船票的價值。
人的一生中，除了學習、工作、戀愛、結婚、生子，還有許多不能錯過的事情，比如說趁腿腳便利多出去走走，和家人朋友吃一頓異國大餐，學習新的知識、體會不同的生活方式等等。
大部分中老年人都過過苦日子，曾經吃不飽、穿不暖，甚至到現在，還保留著將就著過的生活習慣。
但是，你知道嗎？
這就是拿著頭等艙船票在吃泡麵呀！
我們坐上了豪華遊輪，就應該享受豪華遊輪帶給我們的快樂，不要忽視自身的需求，更不要一直想著節儉攢錢。
攢錢不是我們的任務，我們的任務是照顧好自己，少給兒女們添麻煩。對自己好一點，學會“吃喝玩樂”，才算不辜負這張來之不易的頭等艙船票！
想一想，你好好利用了你手上的這張船票嗎？
不要到下船的時候後悔呀！
這是我所看過所有文章中最有意思的一文。
Suggest people to read this article carefully so as not to waste your first-class cruise tickets.
This article would make people shameful of themselves.
An elderly couple raised 4 children on a frugal basis. In a hurry, they have been married for 50 years, and children with excellent income are secretly discussing what kind of golden wedding gifts to give to their parents.
Since the old couple likes to join hands to enjoy the sunset, the children decided to give their parents the most luxurious love boat tour, so that the old couple can enjoy the sea and the amorous feelings.
The old couple boarded the luxury cruise ship with first-class tickets, and they were amazed by the large boat that could hold thousands of people. And there are swimming pools, luxury restaurants, movie theaters, etc. on the ship, which surprised them both.
The disadvantage is that the cost of luxury equipment is very expensive. The frugal old couple figured out that they didn’t have much travel expenses. They had to enjoy the five-star suite equipment in the first-class cabin, or hang on the deck to enjoy the scenery of the sea.
Fortunately, they were afraid that the food on board would be unpleasant, so they brought a box of instant noodles with them. Bread and milk.
On the last night of the voyage, the old man thought that if he returned home, relatives, friends, and neighbors asked about the food on the boat, but he couldn't answer it.
After consulting with his wife, the old gentleman took the trouble and decided to eat at the restaurant on board at dinner time. Anyway, it was the last meal. Tomorrow is the end of the voyage, and I am not afraid of spoiling myself.
Under the background of music and candlelight, the old couple celebrating their golden wedding commemoration seems to return to the happiness of their first love. In the laughter of toasting and drinking, the meal time was coming to an end, and the old gentleman had never waited for the waiter to settle the bill.
The waiter asked the old gentleman politely, "Can you show me your ticket?"
The old gentleman couldn't help getting angry. "I didn't sneak into the boat. I have to look at the ticket for a meal?" Mumbled, he took out the ticket.
The waiter took the ticket, took out a pen, and struck out a lot of spaces on the back of the ticket. At the same time, he asked in surprise: "Old gentleman, have you never consumed it since you got on board?"
Like the elder couple in the story, we eat instant noodles in the first class cruise all our lives.
