英語勵志詩歌翻譯雙語閱讀
如果把人生比作旅程，那麼，不管旅途中再多荊棘，請記得擦乾眼淚、拂去汗水，心中依舊燃着最初夢想的炙火……
一、DREAMS
------ Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
夢想
蘭斯頓·休斯陳採霞譯
緊緊抓住夢想，
因爲一旦夢想消亡，
生活就象折斷翅膀的小鳥，
無法自由翱翔。
緊緊抓住夢想，
因爲一旦夢想離開，
生活就會變成貧瘠荒蕪的土地，
只有冰雪覆蓋。
二、RESULTS AND ROSES
------ Edgar Albert Guest
The man who wants a garden fair,
Or small or very big,
With flowers growing here and there,
Must bend his back and dig.
The things are mighty few on earth,
That wishes can attain,
Whatever we want of any worth,
We ve got to work to gain.
It matters not what goal you seek,
Its secret here reposes:
You ve got to dig from week to week,
To get results or roses.
碩果和玫瑰
埃德加·阿爾貝特·格斯特 陳採霞譯
要想有個美麗花園，
面積大小姑且不管，
只要園中長滿鮮花，
就必須把汗水揮灑。
有願望就能實現，
這樣的事還真是少見，只要想要的東西有價值，
就得靠努力去創造。
目標是什麼並不重要，
祕訣終歸只有一條：
周復一週不怕勞累，
才能收穫碩果或者玫瑰。
三、THE VALUE OF TIME
------ Katharine Sun
To realize the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
To realize the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one hour:
Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of one minute:
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.
To realize the value of one second:
Ask a person who has survived an accident.
To realaize the value of one millisecond:
Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.
Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
時間的價值
凱瑟琳·桑 陳採霞譯
要想知道一年的價值，
那就去問期末考試不及格的學生。
要想知道一個月的價值，
那就去問生了早產兒的母親。
要想知道一週的價值，
那就去問週報的編輯。
要想知道一小時的價值，
那就去問等待見面的戀人。
要想知道一分鐘的價值，
那就去問誤了火車、汽車或者飛機的人。
要想知道一秒鐘的價值，
那就去問大難不死的人。
要想知道一毫秒的價值，
那就去問奧運會獲得銀牌的人。
時間不等人，
你擁有的每一刻都要珍惜。
四、TODAY IS A NEW DAY
------ Donna Levine
Your tomorrows are as bright
as you want to make them.
There is no reason to carry
the darkness of the past
with you into today.
Today is a wonderful new experience，
full of every possibility to make
your life exactly what you want it to be.
Today is the beginning of new happiness,
new directions and new relationships.
Today is the day to remind yourself
that you posses the power
and strength you need
to bring contentment, love and joy into your life.
Today is the day to understand yourself
and to give yourself the love
and the patience that you need.
Today is the day to move forward
towards your bright tomorrow.
今天是新的一天
唐那·萊文 陳採霞譯
你的明天充滿陽光，
如你心中所想。
你沒有理由，
把昨天的黑暗，
帶到今天。
今天是美妙的全新體驗，
有那麼多種可能，
使你的生活如你所願。
今天開始有新的幸福，
新的方向和新的夥伴。
今天你要提醒自己，
你有足夠的能力和力量，
把滿意、愛情和歡樂帶進你的生活。
今天你要了解自己，
給自己足夠的愛心和耐心。
今天你會勇往直前，
奔向那燦爛的明天。
