阴雨天的阳光

Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days. I was discouraged, weary, and plain sad. My focus was on me, me, me. After all, no one else was experiencing the same trials as I was.

你是否经历过这样的一天,在这一天里事事不顺?不久以前我就有过这么一天,我感到气馁、厌烦,非常悲伤,我满脑子想的都是自己,毕竟没有人经历过我的磨难.

I expressed my downcast state to my mother, hoping for some pity. Instead, she said, "I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too. Why don't you make her some cookies and we will take them to her this afternoon?" I didn't really want to, but decided that I didn't want to go back to my other problems just yet. I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate. Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small note of empathy.

我把我糟糕的心情告诉我的母亲,希望得到她的怜悯,母亲却说："我听说杰米今天也不高兴,你为什么不做些饼干今天下午带给她呢?"我本来不想去做,但是我不愿再去想其他让我心烦的事情,所以我就去做饼干了,把做好的饼干摆在一个小盘里,还做了一个画着太阳的卡片,在上面写了一句安慰的话.

That afternoon we dropped by my friend's house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit. Before she could say anything I rushed, "I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better." The look that came over Jamie's face was one that I could never put into words. It was as if a darkened sky was

suddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.

那天下午我们去我的朋友家拜访,我去按门铃,很快,杰米出来惊奇地看着我,她没有想到我会来看她.在她开口说话之前,我先说话了："我听说你今天不高兴,就决定送你些东西,希望你高兴起来."当时,我无法用语言描述杰米的表情,就好像阴暗的天空突然间被金色的阳光照亮,好像她阴郁的一天因我的拜访而变得充满阳光.

I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that James Barrie attempted to describe. "Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves."

我回到车里惊奇地发现我的心情好多了,那一天我体会到一个真理,詹姆斯?巴里这样描述它："给别人带去阳光的人,自己也会感到温暖."

天堂有多远

How far is it to Heaven?

As far as Death this way-

Of River or of Ridge1 beyond

Was no discovery.

多远至天堂?

其遥如死亡;

越过山与河,

不知路何方.

How far is it to Hell?

As far as Death this way-

How far left hand the Sepulcher

Defies Topography.

多远至地狱?

其遥如死亡;

多远左边坟,

地形学难量.

自然之母

Nature, the gentlest mother, 自然,最温和的母亲, Impatient of no child, 没有孩子似的急躁,

The feeblest or the waywardest, 即使对最微弱的和最任性的, Her admonition mild 她的训诫也是温和的.

In forest and the hill 在森林里,在小山中,

By traveler is heard, 旅行者都可以听到,

Restraining rampant squirrel 在遏制猖獗的松鼠,

Or too impetuous bird. 或太鲁莽的鸟的时候,

How fair her conversation, 她的言语是多么公正,

A summer afternoon, 一个夏天午后,

Her household, her assembly; 在她的家庭中, 在她的聚会上; And when the sun goes down 当太阳下山的时候,

Her voice among the aisles 过道中她的声音,

Incites the timid prayer 激励了最微小的蟋蟀、

Of the minutest cricket, 最微不足道的花的,

The most unworthy flower. 羞怯的祈祷.

When all the children sleep 当所有的孩子睡觉的时候, She turns as long away 她只要转身离开,

As will suffice to light her lamps; 就会点亮足够的灯；Then, bending from the sky 然后从空中弯下身子, With infinite affection 满含着无限的爱,

And infinite care, 无限的关怀,

Her golden finger on her lip, 把金色的手指放在唇上, Wills silence everywhere. 嘱咐各处安静.

顿悟

I have been here before,

But when or how I cannot tell:

I know the grass beyond the door,

The sweet keen smell,

我一定到过此地,

何时,何因,却不知详.

只记得门外草依依,

阵阵甜香,

The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.

You have been mine before,

How long ago I may not know:

But just when at that swallow's soar

Your neck turned so,

Some veil did fall, --- I knew it all of yore.

围绕岸边的闪光,海的叹息.

往昔你曾属于我

只不知距今已有多久,

但刚才你看飞燕穿梭,

葛然回首,

纱幕落了!--这一切我早就见过.

Has this been thus before?

And shall not thus time's eddying flight

Still with our lives our love restore

In death's despite,

And day and night yield one delight once more?

莫非真有过此情此景?时间的飞旋会不会再一次

恢复我们的生活与爱情,

超越了死,

日日夜夜再给一次欢欣?

论孩子

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.

你的儿女,其实不是你的儿女

他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子

他们借助你来到这世界,却非因你而来

他们在你身旁,却并不属于你

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.

你可以给予他们的是你的爱

却不是你的想法

因为他们有自己的思想

你可以庇护的是他们的身体,却不是他们的灵魂

因为他们的灵魂属于明天,属于你做梦也无法到达的明天你可以拼尽全力,变得像他们一样

却不要让他们变得和你一样

因为生命不会后退,也不在过去停留

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,儿女是从你那里射出的箭

弓箭手望着未来之路上的箭靶

他用尽力气将你拉开,使他的箭射得又快又远

怀着快乐的心情,在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧

因为他爱一路飞翔的箭,也爱无比稳定的弓

未选择的路TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

黄叶林中出条岔路,

无奈一人难于兼顾,

顺着一条婉蜒小路,

久久伫立极目远眺,

只见小径拐进灌木.

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, 接着选择了另一条,

同样清楚似乎更好,

引人踩踏铺满茂草,

踏在其间难分彼此,

尽管真有两条道.

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. 清晨里躺着两条路,

一样叶被无人踏脏,

愿将第一条来日补,

但知条条相连远途,

怀疑日后怎能回返.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference. 在很久以后某一地,

我将叹息诉说于人,

两路岔开在树林里,

我选的那条足迹稀,

而一切差别由此起.
