Things work out
守得雲開見月明
By Edgar A. Guest 鍾健鳴/譯
Because it rains when we wish it wouldn't,
只因陰晴未必如我們所願，
Because men do what they often should't,
只因人們未必都積德行善，
Because crops fail,and plans go wrong-
只因作物欠收，計劃流產——
Some of us grumble all day long.
我們中的一些人就終日抱怨。
But sometimes,in spite of the care and doubt,
但即使經歷憂慮與質疑，
It seems at last that things work out.
事情似乎終會好轉。
Because we lose where we hoped to gain,
只因我們求勝之心落空，
Because we suffer a little pain,
只因我們受到少許痛楚，
Because we must work when we'd like to play-
只因我們必須工作而未能玩樂——
Some of us whimper along life's way.
我們中的一些人就一生嗟嘆。
But somehow , as the day always follow the night
黑夜之後必是黎明，
Most of our troubles work out all right.
我們的困難大多能圓滿解決。
Because we cannot forever smile,
只因我們無法永遠微笑，
Because we must trudge in the dust awhile,
只因我們要在泥塵中跋涉，
Some of us whimper that life's all wrong.
我們中的一些人就哀訴生活多磨難。
But somehow,we live and our sky grows bright,
但我們挺過來了，守得雲開見月明，
And ererything seems to work out all right.
一切事都終得順利解決。
So bend to your trouble and meet your care,
所以，迎難而上，直面憂慮，
For the clouds must break,and the sky grows fair.
因為烏雲終將散去，天空必定晴朗。
Let the rain come down,as it must and will,
讓雨灑下，它必須如此，不可逆轉。
But keep on working and hoping still.
但請繼續努力並始終希冀。
For in spite of the grumblers who stand about,
儘管到處都有發牢騷的人，
Somehow,it seems,all things work out.
但無論如何，一切事情總會好轉。
