篇一
A psalm of life 人生禮頌
Herry Wadsworth Longfellow
享利·沃茲渥斯·朗費羅
Tell me not in mournful numbers,
請別用哀傷的詩句對我講;
Life is but an empty dream!
人生呵,無非是虛夢一場!
For the soul is dead that slumbers
因為沉睡的靈魂如死一般,
And things are not what they seem.
事物的表裡並不一樣。
Life is real! Life is earnest!
人生是實在的!人生是熱烈的!
And the grave is not its goal;
人生的目標決不是墳墓;
Dust thou art , to dust returnest,
你是塵土,應歸於塵土。
Was not spoken of the soul.
此話指的並不是我們的精神。
Not enjoyment , and not sorrow,
我們的歸宿並不是快樂,
Is our destined and our way;
也不是悲傷,
But to act,
實幹
That much to-morrow.
才是我們的道路,
Find us farther than to-day.
每天不斷前進,蒸蒸蒸日上。
Art is long , and time is fleeting.
光陰易逝,而藝海無涯,
And our hearts , though stout and brave.
我們的心哪——雖然勇敢堅強,
Still , like muffled drums , are beating
卻像被布矇住的銅鼓,
Funeral marches to the grave。
常把殯葬的哀樂擂響。
In the world’s broad field of battle,
在這人生的宿營地,
In the bivouac of Life,
在這遼闊的世界戰場,
Be not like dumb,driven cattle!
別做無言的牲畜任人驅趕,
Be a hero in the strife!
做一名英雄漢立馬橫槍!
Trust no future.howe’er pleasant!
別相信未來,哪怕未來多麼歡樂!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
讓死去的往昔將死亡一切埋葬!
Act,act in the living Present!
上帝在上,我們胸懷勇氣,
Heart within,and God O’erhead!
行動吧———趁現在活著的好時光!
Lives of great men all remind us
偉人的生平使我們想起,
We can make our lives sublime,
我們能使自己的一生變得高尚!
And departing,leave behind us
當我們辭別人間,
Footprints on the sands of time;
能把足跡留在時間的流沙上,
Footprints that perhaps another,
也許有個遭了船災的苦難弟兄,
Sailing o’er life solemn main,
他曾在莊嚴的人生大海中飄航,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
見到我們的腳印,
Seeing,shall take heart again,
又會滿懷信心。
Let us,then,be up and doing,
讓我們起來幹吧,
With a heart for any fate;
下定決心,不管遭遇怎樣;
Still achieving,still pursuing
不斷勝利,不斷追求,
Learn to labour and to wait.
要學會苦幹和耐心等待。
篇二
Discovery 發現
Diane Ackerman
迪安·阿克曼
The word “discovery” literally means, uncovering something that’s hidden from view. But what really happens is a change in the viewer. The familiar offers comfort few can resist, and fewer still want to disturb. But as relatively recent inventions such as the telescope and microscope have taught us, the unknown has many layers. Every truth has geological strata, and you can’t have an orthodoxy without a heresy.
“發現”一詞,字面上是指揭開某種視線以外的隱藏的事物。不過其實是觀察者自身發生了變化。很少人能抗拒熟悉事物帶來的舒適,願意擾亂這種舒適的人更少。然而,正如望遠鏡、顯微鏡這些較為近期的發明所揭示給我們的,求知事物具有多種層次。每個事實都有地質層次,沒有異端也就無所謂正統。
The moment a newborn opens its eyes, discovery begins. I learned this with a laugh one morning after delivering a calf. When it lifted up its fluffy head and looked at me, its eyes held the absolute bewilderment of the newly born. A moment before it had the even black nowhere of the womb, and suddenly its world was full of colour, movement and noise. I’ve never seen anything so shocked to be alive.
新生兒睜開雙眼的那一刻起,發現也就開始了。我是在一天清晨給一頭小牛犢接生的時候突然意識到這一點的,不禁大笑。小牛仰起毛茸茸的腦袋看著我,目光中透出這個新生命對世界的一無所知。片刻這前,它還呆在母體裡某個黑暗而平靜的地方,突然,它的世界變得五光十色,變得活潑而喧鬧。我從未見過任何東西在獲得生命時是如些的驚異。
篇三
Friends 朋友
A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
真正的朋友是一個可以援手幫助並感動你心扉的人。
There's always going to be people that hurt you,so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
別人常常傷害你,所以你該繼續付出信任,並小心挑選你下次信任的人。
Make youself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
在你想了解別人也想讓別人瞭解你之前,先完善並瞭解自己。
happens,happens for a reason.
要記住:任何事情的發生都有因有起。
How many people actually have 8 true friends?Hardly anyone I know.But some of us have all right friends and good friends.
有多少人可以擁有八個真正的朋友?就我所知少之又少。但我們會有泛泛之交和好友。
