生活中没有诗歌，犹如花朵失去了盛开。
If It didn’t Bring you Joy,
Just Leave it Behind.
Let’s Ring in the New Year
With Good Things in Mind.
And let’s Turn a New Leaf
With the Smell of New Rain.
Let’s Forget Past Mistakes
Making Amends for This Year.
Sending You These Greetings
To Bring You Hope and Cheer.
如果它没给你带来欢乐
那么就把它抛在脑后
让我们在新的一年里
要牢记好事情
让我们翻开新的一叶
带着春雨的芬芳
让我们忘记过去的错误
让它在新一年得到弥补
发送一份新年祝福
愿它带给你希望和快乐。
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you want to win but think you can't;
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
Today I Went Down
by Breyten Breytenbach
today I went down on your body
while windows were thick white eyes
and hearkened the clogged cavities
in the small darkroom of your chest，
hedging an eternity over the aching voice
from your gorgeous throat，
agony and exaltation flow in one divide
if I may make so bold，
your thighs are a loveword your hair
night's glittering lining of secret disport：
I aimed for the innermost moon
and rent， moved by the syntax and the slow
of sadness and of joy， so
I love you， love you so
when the blinding comes，
the discomposure of silence，
it must be high up the hills
where hundreds of poor
stamp their feet in the dust， and drums
and woman voices like this ululating skyline
gag the final ecstasy

Impatient of no child, 没有孩子似的急躁，

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；

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、

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。

Spinning Moon
Spinning disc
Slashing with razor rim
The flowers of the sky
Fallen stars
Little the gleaming lake
Sparkle like leaping fish
Scattered petals
Float white
On the midnight water
旋月
旋转的月盘
锋利刀刃划破
漫天繁花
坠下的星儿
散落微光之湖
闪烁如鱼跃
碎了的花瓣
浅浅白光漂浮
子夜的水中
Garden Moon
Garden Moon
Reflecting in a lily pond
A face
Veined by darting carp
Wrinkled by ripples
Shadowed by reeds
Like strands of wayward hair
A face risen
From the depth of the water
庭中月
庭中月
映于荷塘
一张脸
鲫鱼穿梭成脉
涟漪泛起作纹
芦苇遮影
散发缕缕
一张脸
从湖水深处浮现
Just do it!
勇往直前！
Trust no Future， however pleasant
Let the dead past bury its dead!
Act， act in the living present!
Heart within， and God overhead!
If you fail， let it be!
Just try again until you made it!
别信靠未来，无论未来的憧憬多么可爱！
让死亡的过去永远埋葬！
行动，就在此时此刻行动起来！
坚定的心灵，上帝的指引！
如果失败了，让它去吧？
站起来再努力一次，直至成功！
成功要素
You must take a blow or give one，
You must risk and you must lose.
Be a man and face the battle
That's the only way to win.
It takes a little courage，
And a little self-control，
And some grim determination，
If you want to reach the goal!
你必须接受打击，或施加打击，
你必须冒险，也必须付出。
做个男子汉去迎接战斗——
那就是取得胜利的唯一途径！
需要一点勇气，
也需要一点自我克制，
还需要几分严峻的决心，
倘若你要达到物标！
梦想
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；
Then took the other, as just as fair，
And having perhaps the better claim，
Because it was grassy and wanted wear（磨损）；
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same，
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden（踩） black.
Oh，I kept the first for another day！
Yet knowing how way leads on to way，
I doubted if I should ever come back.
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.
金色的树林路分两条，
遗憾不能两条都到。
孤独的我长久伫立，
极日眺望其中一条，
直到它在灌丛中淹没掉。
然后我公平地选择了另外一条，
或许理由更加充分，
因为它草深需要有人上去走走。
说到有多少人从上面走过
两条路磨损得还真是差不多。
而且那天早晨两条路都静静地躺着，
覆盖在上面的树叶都没有被踩黑，
噢，我把第一条路留给了下一次！
但我知道前方的路变幻莫测，
我怀疑我是否应该回来……
多年以后在某个地方，
我将叹息着讲述这件事：
树林里路分两条，而我——
选择了行人较少的那条，
就这样一切便发生了改变。
With the autumn coming,
With the warm leaving,
It's the leaves falling!
What a beautiful world,
what a admirable god,
Ir's a miracle fact.
How about resting for a while.
How about looking for the scene
It's a leaf falls
SUMMER SUN
我为少男少女们歌唱
何其芳
I sing for teenagers
Tr. William Wang
我为少男少女们歌唱。
我歌唱早晨，
我歌唱希望，
我歌唱那些属于未来的事物
我歌唱正在生长的力量。
I sing for teenagers
I sing for morning;I sing for hope;
I sing for those future things;
I sing for the growing strength.
我的歌呵，
你飞吧，
飞到年轻人的心中
去找你停留的地方。
Ah, my son
You do fly —
Fly into youth’s heart
To find your place to stay.
所有使我像草一样颤抖过的
快乐或者好的思想，
都变成声音飞到四方八面去吧，
不管它像一阵微风
或者一片阳光。
轻轻地从我琴弦上
失掉了成年的忧伤，
我重新变得年轻了，
我的血流得很快，
对于生活我又充满了梦想，充满了渴望。
All enjoyment or good thinking
That make me shake like grass,
All become sound to fly in all directions.
No matter it is like a blast of breeze
Or a ray of sunlight.
Gently, on my string,
Losing grief of manhood.
I start to be young again.
My blood flows fast.
In life, I am full of hope and yearning again.
The rain is raining all around,
天下雨，处处雨，
It falls on field and tree,
落在绿树上，撒在田野里，
It rains on the umbrelllas here,
它在行人伞上跳，
And on the ship at sea.
也落在海上的航船里。

and they can become your blessings.
感激之心能将消极变得积极。
学会对自己的烦恼心存感激，
它们就会变成你的赐福！
