:Home,Sweet Home家,甜蜜的家
***1***
mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, 雖然我們也會沈迷於歡樂與奢靡中,
be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home! 無論家是多麼簡陋,沒有地方比得上它!
a charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, 好似從空而降的魔力,使我們在家覺得聖潔
which seek through the world, is ne’er met with elsewhere, 就是找遍全世界,也找不到像這樣的地方,
home! home! sweet, sweet home! 家啊!家啊!甜蜜的家啊!
there’s no place like home! there’s no place like home! 沒有地方比得上家!沒有地方比得上家!
***2***
i gaze on the moon as i tread the drear wild, 每當我漫步荒野凝視明月,
and feel that my mother now thinks of her child, 便想起母親正惦念著她的孩子,
as she looks on that moon from our own cottage door, 當她從茅舍門口遙望明月時,
through the woodbine, whose fragrance shall cheer me no more. 穿過冬忍樹叢,濃郁樹香再也不能安慰我的心靈。
home! home! sweet, sweet home!家啊!家啊!甜蜜的家啊!
there’s no place like home! there’s no place like home!沒有地方比得上家!沒有地方比得上家!
***3***
an exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain; 對一個離鄉背井的遊子,再華麗的光輝,也是徒然閃爍;
oh, give me my lowly thatch’d cottage again! 一棟矮簷茅舍!
the birds singing gaily, that came at my call--- 一呼即來的鳥兒正在歡唱
give me them, -- and the peace of mind, dearer than all! 賜給牠們-還有心靈的平靜,這些勝過一切!
home! home! sweet, sweet home!家啊!家啊!甜蜜的家啊!
there’s no place like home! there’s no place like home!沒有地方比得上家!沒有地方比得上家!

:On Children論孩子
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
你的兒女,其實不是你的兒女
他們是生命對於自身渴望而誕生的孩子
他們藉助你來到這世界,卻非因你而來
他們在你身旁,卻並不屬於你
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
你可以給予他們的是你的愛
卻不是你的想法
因為他們有自己的思想
你可以庇護的是他們的身體,卻不是他們的靈魂
因為他們的靈魂屬於明天,屬於你做夢也無法到達的明天
你可以拼盡全力,變得像他們一樣
卻不要讓他們變得和你一樣
因為生命不會後退,也不在過去停留
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
你是弓,兒女是從你那裡射出的箭
弓箭手望著未來之路上的箭靶
他用盡力氣將你拉開,使他的箭射得又快又遠
懷著快樂的心情,在弓箭手的手中彎曲吧
因為他愛一路飛翔的箭,也愛無比穩定的弓
