:希望長著翅膀
Hope is the thing with feathers
希望是長著翅膀的鳥兒,
That perches in the soul
棲居在人們的靈魂之中,
And sings the tune without the words
吟唱著沒有歌詞的曲調,
And never stops at all
永無止息。
And sweetest in the gale is heard
在風暴中它的歌聲最為甜美;
And sore must be the storm
風暴必然會帶來痛苦,
That could abashed the little bird
風暴會令小鳥窘困驚慌,
That kept so many warm
它卻留給我們如斯溫暖。
I've heard it in the chillest land
我已在最荒寒的陸地上,
And on the strangest sea
聽到過經的歌唱,
Yet, never, in extremity
也在最陌生的海洋中聽到,
Tasked a crumb of me
但它縱然身處絕境,
也不向我索取分毫。
:上帝和孩子的對話
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
有一個嬰兒即將出生。
One day the child asked God: "They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
一天,這個小孩問上帝,“他們告訴我明天你將要把我送到地球,不過為什麼我在那兒會那麼小和無助呢?”
God replied: "Among the many angels, I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
上帝說,“在所有的天使之中,我已經選中了一個給你。她將會等待你和照顧你
"But," said the child: "Tell me here in Heaven I don‘t do anything else but sing and smile. That‘s what I need to be happy!"
“不過”,小孩問了,“請告訴我--在天堂我除了歌唱和微笑之外什麼都不做。這些是我快樂所需要的!”
God said: "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel‘s love and be happy."
上帝說,“你的天使每天將會為你歌唱和微笑。你將會感受到你的天使的愛,你會感到快樂。”
"And," said the child: "how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don‘t know the language that men talk?"
“還有”,小孩又問了,“如果我不懂他們說的語言,當人們對我說話的時候我怎樣才會理解呢?”
"That‘s easy", said God: "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.
“這很簡單,”上帝說,“你的天使將教會你語言中最美麗和最甜蜜的詞語,帶著最大的耐心和關懷,你的天使將教會你怎樣說話。
The child looked up at God, saying: "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
小孩抬頭看著上帝說,“我想和你說話的時候我該怎麼做呢?”
God smiled at the child, saying: "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
上帝微笑著對小孩說,“你的天使會把你的雙手放在一起然後教會你怎樣祈禱。”
The child said: "I‘ve heard on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?"
小孩說,“我聽說地球上有壞人,誰將會保護我呢?”
God put his arm around the child, saying: "Your angel will defend you - even if it means risking life!"
上帝把手放在小孩身上,說,“你的天使將會保護你,甚至會冒生命的危險!”
The child looked sad, saying: "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
小孩看起來有些悲傷,他說,“我將會一直感到悲傷因為我再也看不到你了。”
God hugged the child: "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
上帝擁抱著小孩。“你的天使以後會一直跟你說有關我的事情,還會教你回到我身邊的方法,雖說我一直與你同在。”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard.
在這一刻小孩在天堂感到了無比的安詳,不過已經可以聽到從地球傳來的聲音......
The child, in a hurry, asked softly: "Oh God, if I am about to leave now please tell my Angel’s name!"
小孩有點急促,溫柔的問“上帝啊,如果我現在將要離開,請告訴我的天使的名字!”
God replied: "Your angel‘s name is of no importance...you will simply call her MOMMY!"
上帝回答說,你的天使的名字並不那麼重要,你可以簡單的叫她—— “媽媽”。
